Watchin UNC school Iowa right now

Man let me tell you this is a bloody second half. Iowa Is getting beat like they are the retarded son of the king in the dark ages. This isn't even a game anymore. This is the MAUI CHAMPIONSHIP GAME and there is 13 minutes left and the score is currently UNC 77 - Iowa 53. Wow, that's a win. I am getting excited for this year. Iowa beat Texas and Louisville. That's pretty huge. That gives me hope for ISU because that means they could pull down a big win over Texas and maybe get up there in the 20s of the ranks. I am not a real fan of Iowa schools football. I am a fairweather football fan but in Basketball I like the ISU basketball team. They are my in state team and Syracuse and Illinois are my out of state team. Illinois because I was born in Illinois and wanted to go there when I was a little kid and Syracuse because I want to go there and they are insane. Yup, basketball season is starting up and I am getting the fever. I think this year and next year are gonna be good f

I've got nothing against Mondays...

But today is freaking ridiculous. I have been sitting in the library for the last hour doing nothing but dicking around the web. I read the times, the tribune, went to espn.com and read everything worth of value, checked out strangetalk, imdb...I've been everywhere and done everything worth of value and I still have an hour left before my next class. I should have just gone home and played some more NCAA 2005. Classes? Oh hell they are great, I am predicting this grade report: A, A, A-, B, C. That would be the best grade report I have gotten since 6th grade...If that isn't crazy I dont know what is. I wish I had brought one of my books with me today because this is agonizing. Maybe I will go check out the standings of my favorite teams again. I hope your day is nowhere near as boring as mine. Later kids.

Video Games are the devil

So today was a great big mmmmmeeeeuuuuhhhh. I went to my only class, came home, ate breakfast, and than proceeded to play NCAA 2005 football all day. I set up a dynasty last night and I'm chuggin it out. I'm playing every game because I don't really know how to play very well. It's rocking dude. At first I was only playing it so I could be good enough to kick Adam's ass. (If you're reading this adam watch out! Because the hawks are gonna be laid to waste by the Orange soon enough.) It's pretty late. I was gonna go to bed at 11 but than Sam and I got to playing. I beat him 53-27, after that I figured what the hell I'm on a role let's get back to the dynasty. I took down Virginia first try. Let me tell you this, Syracuse is not a very easy football team to navigate. I'm pushing those bitches as hard as possible. The first few games I couldn't figure out passing so I had Reyes rushing for about 250 yards a game. It was crazy. Alright enough t

Reviewing the Civil War

I occasionally check out this website www.strangetalk.net where I post some things when I feel so inclined. Recently in the politics section someone raised a question about the civil war in relation to the south. "Was it a mistake? Should we just have let em go?" Interesting question. Assuming he means that Iowa is part of the union and The union wouldn't have fought to restore the south into the union. It's an interesting idea. What were the major reasons for going down south and kicking some slavedriver ass? Keeping the states together? Economic reasons? and at the end emancipation? It's kind of a boggling idea. I mean, morally, we did the right thing. Who knows how long the south would have enslaved blacks but now the North is truly paying for their ignorance and unwillingness to change with the social flow. Could you imagine The boundary lines? I dont even know which states were part of the south. Were Ohio and Indiana? I don't think so. WAIT! T

Fixing up the Blog-age 11.7.2k4

Dudes, check it out. I decided if I was seriously going to try and make a blog out of this thing I gotta have some replies. I dont expect to get a bunch of them but this way if I post some stupid/mean/crazy ideas people can just jump up on this thing and punch me in the face. Sound good? great, grand, wonderful. I(so did every other democrat) got an email from the democratic party asking what I think they need to do better in preperation for upcoming elections. I laid down my ideas, hopefully they will take them to heart. Because they needs to get to work. Alright I am out of shit to say besides I saw the movie Motorcycle Diaries. That was a pretty good flick. Makes me want to learn Spanish and check out South America. Viva la revolution. Later taters.

I Guess This Proves Something or My Concession SpeechBy Patrick Boberg

Well obviously yesterday was the general election and in just under two hours John Kerry is going to give his formal concession speech. I think we have all learned something here. I've learned that no matter how hard you believe in a candidate and the ideas that he pushes, you can't teach a person your complex stance on what they consider to be a basic issue. Everyone talks about the republicans as such great campaigners but it's a lot more simple than even that. Republicans give you their stance in one word answers. They dont explain abortion on several plateaus, they just say they are against it. They tell you all the facts and stats on why gun control is bad they just say they are against it. They don't tell you the war was good for every reason in the book they just tell you they are doing the right thing. They give it too you in the most dumbed down way you can get it, and John Kerry gave it too you in the most intelligent way you can get it.I loved John Kerry
