Dude, Shaq is the coolest cat to ever play the game of basketball. I just watched "Shaquille" his reality show on ESPN sponsored by Verizon and damn man, he is so cool. I hated the Lakers, I didn't care about the Magic, and the Heat are pretty cool, thanks to Dwayne Wade, Zo, D. Jones. Seriously, how can you not like Shaq? He can play, he is funny as shit, and he just seems like a good person. Alright I gotta do it. Time to make a couple lists off the top of my skull. Top Five Coolest Players of All Time: 1) Shaquille O'Neal 2) Wilt Chamberlain 3) Charles Barkley 4) Magic Johnson 5) I don't know... probably Michael Jordan See these guys are all fun, kick ass all stars, but still just lovin life. I mean those top four are easy to fill but five is hard. I can't think of another guy who can just play the game and live life like it wasn't the biggest deal in the world. I mean yeah Shaq demanded to be traded, Wilt had the loser complex, Charles was kind of a bi

Okay so I ran 4 miles today (6.7 km). and as I walked into the rec I noticed the sign ups for intramurals, and... I want to do the ISU Triathlon. Yeah, I know, I know. That's crazy. I am in no shape to do a .9 mile swim, 24.8 mile bike ride, followed by a 6.2 mile run (if the school follows the olympic format of triathlons) but damn it! I ran 4 miles today, lifted and did a shit ton of sit ups. The sign ups for the Triathlon start like August 15th and the actual triathlon doesn't go down untilthe end of the month. Damn it, I am gonna do it. I haven't been in any sort of organized athletics since intramurals my freshman year and I miss it. I never did track, I didn't do any varsity sports all of high school but I can do it. It felt good running four miles. I only gave up because my groin muscles started to ache. Damn it, I can do it. I am 220 lbs today and I can lose 20 lbs in two months and if I am lucky I can get down to 190 by the start of school. HELL! If I keep the

Okay folks here it is. My parents are moving once again. Last summer I was visiting my parents for my birthday and I cracked a joke that my parents should move to California because they have lived in Chicago and New York, so hey! Why don't they move to the other coast and say they have been in all the tent pole cities of America. Crazy huh? Well they are moving in July or August. And it's looking like my cross country voyage with my animals is gonna go down. Crazy. I say crazy a lot. Well it is. My parents have let their respective bosses know and they are out of that crazy island they call long. Okay, I got out of work for tonight so it looks like I am gonna hit up the wreck center and than chill all night. Cross your fingers that Corey get's out of his group meeting early so I can go to the batting cages. Later on Day 1

This summer is a hard one man. I just ate dinner with my friend Chris. I want to call him my best friend but we haven't hung out all in the last year. We have been in a band together for 6 years and we were living together for two years. I ate dinner with him tonight and we talked and I was loving hearing about him and what's going on but as soon as I left I realized that this summer sucks. People are graduating and going to places. I should not have been this lazy in College. I should be doing the same, getting excited about my future life and shit... now I'm just sitting here depressed because my best friend is going to either A) mini apple B) Vermont or C) Italy. Who knows when I'll see him again. HE MIGHT BE MOVING THIS WEEKEND! It's depressing. If it wasn't for Corey calling me immediately as I got in my car I would probably be crying like a little girl. Maybe I'm taking this all the wrong way. I should be greatful I have the time I have left to charish
