Don't mean to freak anyone out but...

Dudes, isn't it wierd how all the major sports "flagship" teams are down recently. The Lakers didn't make the playoffs, the Cowboys, Packers, and 49ers were shitty this year, and if you turn on ESPN recently you are more than likely to know that The New York Spankees are down and practically out. Kind of odd, n'est pas?

I am chilling out. I have worked everyday since Saturday. I am on a mission. I realized if I can turn my academic ass around and get close to all As I might as well turn my Physical ass around as well. I am sitting at 218 and I wont stop until I am at 190. I have been there before and lived there. It's the mission. I can and will do it.

I saw Batman Begins last night. It was pretty sexy; however it had it's occasional moments of ridiculous. I mean Batman jumps out of a 5th story window and nails the side of his ribs on a railing. Hello? broken ribs? punctured lungs? yeah I thought so. Besides that the main bad guy is Ra's Al Ghoul. Perfect. I have been saying for years that he would the absolutely perfect bad guy for a Batman movie. Liam Neelson pulled it off. I mean don't really care for the guy but he can act evil. Good stuff, they really made Gotham ugly and desperate. Alright thugs I'll talk to you later.

This book should not exist

It's late on a mid-October 2015 night and I am struggling with whether I should buy a $1,200 last-minute ticket to California to be with my family for my mother's emergency brain surgery. A week prior everyone was together in my house for an adventurous weekend climbing a wind turbine and celebrating my grandmother's 90th birthday, now we are on the eve of my mom going under the gamma knife for emergency brain surgery. Turns out she has a size-able tumor growing on the surface of her brain.   It's a bit of miracle that the tumor was discovered in the first place as my mom's routine cancer screenings didn't usually include brain scans; however, she had been complaining of blurry vision and balance issues, plus she had become quite irritable having been pushed to take FMLA from work to deal with what she thought was post-cancer "brain fog." Thankfully her doctor had the good sense to add it all up and include her brain in her next cancer scan. Sure enou...

Finding "Clarity" in 1999

I distinctly remember Tuesday, February 23, 1999. I was still living in Iowa and immediately after school let out I road with a friend to Best Buy so he could pick up Eminem's freshly released second album. Always down for a hang, I road along as there was one album I had read about and wanted to see if it was in stores. That album was Jimmy Eat World's Clarity . On the ride home I didn't bother asking to put in my purchase as my friend was not a rock fan. So for the next hour or so of cruising we blasted Slim Shady at painful volumes. For those uninitiated, this was the "Hi! My name is (ticka ticka) Slim Shady" album. I was indifferent to rap so it got a little long and tiresome by roughly the third time through the album. When I finally listened to Clarity it underwhelmed. Nothing on the album is lyrically hook centered on kinetically riff focused like later Jimmy Eat World releases. For a 16 year-old ska and pop punk super fan, Clarity go...
