Jimmy V Classic

Hells yeah. This year the classic features Michigan State vs. Boston College and Kansas vs. St. Joes. Hell yeah. Last year it featured Syracuse vs. Oklahoma State and someone else I don't remember. That was a good game last year. Tense the whole way. No big break aways or comebacks. I hope That MSU game is good. I am hoping MSU and Illinois fight it out for the big ten. I am not sure Illinois has the players to do it but Brown is still the man so we'll see.

Today is gonnna be a beast. I have this debate in the morning (natural theology vs. quantum physics, not as bad as it sounds), a 5 pager to write for tomorrow, and after that Corey, Kyle, Bosman, and I are spending the whole day filming candid camera shit all around campus. It's gonna be pretty sweeet. I plan to dress up like Harold Ramis from GhostBusters and narrate the will shindig.

I really have nothing to say but when i saw that Jimmy V Classic. I just had to say something. MSU is a cool school. All around too, not just basketball. If Illinois' football team was as good as their basketball team I think they would be the coolest school to ever exist... but you can't have it all.

I sent away to Syracuse for stuff about their grad program a year ago and I am getting tons of shit in the mail now about it. Man it seems like a cool program but honestly I doubt I have the grades. Should have worked harder my Frosh and soph years. Didn't even think about grad school... foolish, foolish. Maybe I shouldn't graduate and just retake a bunch classes where I got Cs and Ds from those years. How did I go from being a bottom feeding D student to a hardnosed 4.0 student??? Funny shit. Alright, time to show David Hume who is boss. Later bucaroos.

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
