It's late, so let's ramble

Man I didn't have class today. It was pretty sweet but now that it's almost one and I have class at eight am... I really wish I hadn't slept in till 11. It could be worse, I figure if I hadn't gone and worked out for an hour today I probably would be up till about 2 or 3 tonight sleepless. Oh well. I started playing ESPN NBA 2K5. I got it for christmas but had yet to play it until today. I was a little hesitant because I heard a shit load of bad reviews for it but man, it is way better than that NCAA 2005 game. It's fun to play, the reaction is realistic. Momentum and shit. Oh yes, it's nice. Of course, my team is the Bulls and we be throwing down. We've only lost four games. Let's see I think they were Suns, Kings, and... can't remember the other, oh well. I can't wait to go see the Bulls play the Wolves on the 13th. Chels and I are gonna go. It is gonna be sa-weet. Hell yes. i was looking at how much replica Bulls' jerseys cost. They are ex...

Damn you 8 o'clock.

I was so close, SO CLOSE! I figured I would never have another 8 o'clock again. I havent had one since my freshman year. But alas, it wasn't meant to be. My Tuesday/Thursday schedule is 8, 9.30, 11. Isn't that just as fun as a llama's sweaty sack. Whatever I'll muscle through it. So after the whole holiday fun I am back at school. I survived all the presents, flying, and football. By the way, Iowa State and Iowa both won their bowls. Sadly Michigan lost. Actually, I dont feel down about the Michigan loss because they were playing a big 12 team and in the bowls I want my conference to win. I likes ya Michigan but I had to throw down with the longhorns this time. Maybe next year you'll be playing somebody like Auburn in a bowl, then I will cheer for ya. So recently I have been wrestling with the idea of becoming a college professor. College is so much fun, I like talking with my professors, and I'm starting to think I could possibly be the single best co...

1452 miles later I'm rocking the island

So I drove from Ames, Ia to South Setauket, NY. It was pretty cool. I mean besides the fact I drove a Uhaul, it didnt have a tape deck or cd player, and it didnt have cruise control. Oh well I'm here and it was cool. What I really want to talk about is the three movies I watched in the last two days. First we'll start with the movie I just finished: King Arthur . Dude, I thought it was pretty cool. Despite some things in the end I wont spoil that I didnt want to happen and a few hammed up actors. I am gonna buy that beast on DVD. Sweet battle scenes and I liked Clive Owen as King Arthur. Although I gotta say my favorite knight is Tristan. I mean he had a falcon on his wrist, he was cool, calm, and collected, and I just thought he was cool. I wanna name my first born son Tristan. Okay I watched Collateral and it was cool and all but I was dissappointed. I didn't want the ending to happen that happened. But if you know me you know that I love endings where the bad guys ...

Another reason to love the internet

Okay so I just finished reading an article about Natalie Portman and thought "Hmm...Natalie Portman sure is cool (and mind-numblingly hot.) I think I will go to Imdb.com and see whats up with her and the biz." So I jumped on comp and when I got to Imdb I relized that even though Natalie Portman is mega babe from beyond the moon, I really wanted to see what Zach Braff is up to (Zach Braff directed/wrote/starred in Garden State alongside Natalie.) And let it be known that Zach is one busy guy. He wrote another two movies and is starring in two others while directing another. Did I mention he is doing all of this while promoting Garden State around the world. I was bumming around Imdb message boards and found out that Zach Braff has a blog that he updates frequently with whats going down in his life. So I google "Zach Braff Blog" and found it. http://www2.foxsearchlight.com/gardenstate/blog/ Yeah it's that easy. If I could go back in time and I think h...

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...
