Things I believe in and Spring has sprung

I have a friend who says she believes in "safety". She discourages drunk driving and other hazardous behavior. This of course got me thinking because I too believe in safety. She once complemented my for preventing a drunk friend from trying to lift his leg over his head while standing on the top step of the stairs. So clearly, I am a firm believer in safety, but I think I'm a complex person and I must believe in some other things.

As a libertarian, I firmly believe in liberty. Every man has the right to free choice as long as their choices don't interfere with another man's right to free choice.

I believe in running the ball on first down at least 60% of the time, because drives stall when you don't get 4 yards on first down. Of course, there isn't much reason to believe in running on first down if you also don't believe in a power running game and a passing game built off play action. I think I'm a Big-10 fan in a Pac-10 fan's body.

I believe in the power of live music. No matter how good your sound system is listening to the real thing will always impress.

I believe in garbage collection. I would be happy if I never have to free memory ever again. I would be even happier if I never have to fix someone else's memory corruption issues ever again.

I believe in bowling one must hit the head pin, otherwise you forgo any chance of a strike.

I believe in throwing strike one. Don't pitch from behind in the count. And keep the ball down while you are at it.

I believe playing at least a half hour of foosball at work will decrease my stress level and make me a happier employee.

That's enough things to believe in for a Tuesday afternoon. This of course does a great job of setting up a post titled, "Things I don't believe in".

On an unrelated note, I also enjoy the 'spring forward' weekend we just had. Granted it is tough to get up for church/other Sunday activities an hour earlier, but I love nothing more than having sunlight when I get off work! I guess that means I believe in sunlight.
