Insanity I tell you, insanity.

Well, I just got back from the Tech-Nevada basketball game and I am pretty disappointed. I was so hopeful that Tech was going to win this game, but needless to say they didn't pull it out. Watching your team loose makes you just want to go out there and play the game for them, it seems so obvious what they need to do in order to win, but they just don't do it. Anyway, they are still at the top of the WAC; I just never want to see my team loose. Don't get me wrong though, it was an exciting game and I will be there watching the next one just the same.

Earlier today, I had an idea of something that I wanted to post about and this basketball game reminded of it again. It is a quote from Albert Einstein, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." I am a fan of quotes, expecially from Al, he really has some good ones that are thought provoking and a little funny at the same time. Maybe I will post some of my other favorites from time to time; you can never have too many good quotes.

Anyway, back to why the game reminded me of this quote. Throughout the entire basketball game it seemed like Tech was doing the same thing over and over on defense and expecting that some how this next time it would turn out differently. It never did, Nevada just kept on scoring. It sounds so simple, but it is so true. People just get stuck in a rut and don't know what to do other than the same old thing and hope things come out differently. I don't want to ever get stuck in a rut like that and I don't want any of you to either, whoever (or is it whomever?) you may be.

Well, I have some more thoughts to post, but they are going to have to wait until the morning. I am afraid this was not a very funny blog post, but I never promised funny. So to make up for the absence of funny I will leave you with this: if you find yourself in a rut, don't do the same old thing; try something new and expect some new results! You might be surprised at what happens.
