Late Night Posts Are Fun!
Anyway I just wanted to point out how crappy this NCAA Football Season has been. Some will say, oh man it has been so great because of all the upsets. Guess what, upsets really aren't that cool when it comes to the end of the season. Want to know why? Cause it throws off the entire BSC (and yes I know the letters aren't how you are accustomed to there).
With today's Missouri win over Kansas they have now gained the oppurtunity to have their faces kicked in my Oklahoma, trust me its going to happen. That will give us only 2 teams with one loss who are eligible for the championship game, are you ready for the riveting Ohio State vs. West Virginia matchup!?!!?! Can you feel the excitement? First of all, Ohio State has beaten absolutely no one this year, well I mean those games against Youngstown State and Kent State sure were barnburners. Its not their fault that their conference had an off year (looking your way U of M), but challenge yourself with an out of conference game that means something. At least you did next year, where I am guranteeing you will start 0-1.
My new hope is that because OSU will be in the championship game, LSU will get to play USC (once they kick UCLA in the face, and if you saw each of their games this week, you also know this is happening). I would like to no longer refer to it as the rose bowl, but instead, the WHAT IF BOWL. I think it has a nice sound to it.
Anyway, that was my college football rant for the day, stayed tuned for a future NFL rant where I tell you all how tired I am of the Patriots.

Grandma's Boy
I am currently watching Grandma's Boy. Suprisingly its not nearly as bad as you would think if you like geeky movies. Sure its know intellectual movie by any means, but if you have an hour and a half to kill its really not that bad and you could do far worse (cough cough the ice harvest cough cough). So yeah there you have it my lame movie pick of the day

New Plan
Thats right, I've deciced to tear my ACL. I recently watched the Oregon Ducks QB tear his, and he was back on the field watching the team before having to go and have surgery. I figure if I can blow my right knee out, I will have to keep it stabalized for a while, and thus will not be able to drive my car!! It's a win/win, since I can stay home and relax, without having to feel guilty about taking long periods of time off for no reason. Plus I'll get to use a lot of my leave time that i'll never be able to use up! What could possibly go wrong?
So I did some research and it appears these are probably the best ways to do it:
1. Football or baseball player making a fast cut and changing direction. - I play softball tomorrow and might play football on Thursday morning, I can easily plant my foot and turn awkwardly.
2. Basketball player coming down after a jump shot or the gymnast landing on a dismount. - We recently took the couches out from the backyard freeing up my basketball court. Time to go get a ball!
3. Baseball player sliding into a base with the knee hyperextended with additional force upon hyperextension. - This one could be hard since I usually don't slide, I'll guess I'll have to take this up if I get on base.
4. Football or soccer player quickly slowing down followed by a quick turn in direction. - This also shouldn't be that hard as I am naturally slow and will be able to turn quickly if needed.
Ah yes the perfect plan!

Stupid Headache
So apparently playing softball and bowling with a migrane headache is not good for you...or at least you don't hit very well and you have trouble picking up spares in bowling. That is what I learned today. Although both my softball team and my bowling team each won, so I guess thats a good thing.
Weekend was pretty slow, drank a little, hung out with the newly married couple, watched some football. Pretty typical for me.
Just gotta get through these next 3 days and then i'll have a nice mini 5 day vacation. Thank goodness.

A New High!
As you can see in Game #2 I reached a new high in bowling: 279!!!!
This is the closest that I have come to bowling a perfect game, although I have bowled 15 strikes in a row in consecutive games. Nevertheless it was fun to have people gather around the lanes I was on every time I stepped up to bowl. I did get a nice round of applause after I missed the 10th strike and they announced my score for the whole alley to hear.
Thanks again minesweeper!

The Secret to My Success
Tuesday, November 06, 2007
This one is for Mac
And do you ever feel like you're alone?
And do you ever wish you'd be unknown?
I could say that I have..
I could say that I have..
And do you ever feel things here aren't right?
And do you ever feel the time slip by?
I can say that I have..
And I can say that I have..
So hear this please
And watch as your heart speeds up endlessly
And look for the stars as the sun goes down
Each breath that you take has a thunderous sound
Everything, everything's magic
Just sit back and hold on, but hold on tight
Prepare for the best and the fastest ride
And reach out your hand, and i'll make you mine
Everything, everything's magic
And do you ever lay awake at night?
And do you ever tell yourself don't try?
Don't try to let yourself down
Don't try to let yourself down
And do you ever see yourself in love?
And do you ever take a chance, my love?
Because you know that I will..
Because you know that I will..
So hear this please
And watch as your hearts speeds up endlessly
And look for the stars as the sun goes down
Each breath that you take has a thunderous sound
Everything, everything's magic
Just sit back and hold on, but hold on tight
Prepare for the best and the fastest ride
And reach out your hand, and i'll make you mine
Everything, everything's magic
Everything, everything's magic
So hear this please
And watch as your hearts speeds up endlessly
And look for the stars as the sun goes down
Each breath that you take has a thunderous sound
Everything, everything's magic
Just sit back and hold on, but hold on tight
Prepare for the best and the fastest ride
And reach out your hand, and i'll make you mine
Everything, everything's magic
Yes it simply is magic. But can someone tell me why Angels and Airwaves are called AVA? Where is the V from? This confuses me.

Korean for a Day!
Here is the proud groom, showing off his KISS-esque boots.
Here is the bride, shoes not nearly as tall. Apparently the two sets of clothing were really heavy.
After bowing to their family members, the happy couple receive words of wisdom. After that the bride and groom have dates thrown at them which they catch using the white cloth on the brides dress.
Following the dates, the groom gives a piggy-back ride with his bride around the tea table. What this represents...I'm not really sure. But it was amusing
After carrying his bride around the table, he does the same thing with his mother. Still not sure of this significance either.
Then the groom stripped down to reveal his awesome pink jumpsuit and pretended to take our orders as if we were at a Chinese restaurant.
All and all, it was a very nice ceremony, and most of all I am very happy for the new bride and groom. I wish them many years of happiness together.

Here are some other bits of news:
1. The Broncos really suck, we could easily be 0-8...I mean they could be, not me.
2. I am not looking forward to going to work this week, no reason in particular, just cause.
3. I wish i were part of the finer things club
4. I have had this song stuck in my head all weekend: Jaymay - Sea Green, Sea Blue
5. I love that most networks finally realized people watch shows on their computers so they offer them free every week.

Inside the Actor's Studio
1. What is your favorite word? - I'd have to say ESPN, wait, that is a word right? What? It's not? fine just sports then.
2. What is your least favorite word? - Probably some racist term like cracker or honky. They are just lame and never really caught on.
3. What turns you on? - Hmm probably smells, good ones of course
4. What turns you off? - Bad smells, BO, vomit, mildew, etc
5. What sound or noise do you love? - Hmm, that's a good question Mr. Lipton. I'd probably have to go with "I love LA" after a Dodgers victory. Nothing sounds better.
6. What sound or noise do you hate? - Haha, i'm seeing patterns here. I think the sound of bones breaking or some gruesome injury.
7. What is your favorite curse word? - I try not to swear that often, but I'd have to go with Wap Dego. I got it from South Park
8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? - I think I could be a sports journalist, probably broadcast. Having my own radio show would probably be ideal.
9. What profession would you not like to do? - I'd probably have to go with something really boring Mr. Lipton, like a legislative analyst or something where you read all day.
10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? - Something simple like welcome home would be nice, but it wouldn't hurt if he went over the happy hour times as well.
