This site is being working on right now….I’m trying to basically get a new layout up. I’ve been looking at a ton of code lately and I still don’t figure out how these other people are laying out their sites. I want to do what they are doing in theory, but this is way over my head….just hang with me for a while….
Quick post before I go to bed since I have 2 exams tomorrow, but I’ve GOT to comment on this utter crap.
They are going to give homefield advantage to the team that wins the All-Star game in baseball. Now everybody in baseball knows this is a reaction to last years All-Star Game tie, but folks, I am sorry. The All-Star Game is an EXHIBITION game! This is a time for players to rest. Baseball MEANT to put their All-Star Game in the middle of the season to give the players a break, and that was back when the schedule was only 154 games long. Now that it’s 162, it’s even more important to rest the players. NOW we expect the best ball players this country has to offer to go out there and bust their ass for homefield advantage - something they might not even have a shot at since their team probably won’t go to the playoffs.
But Goob, you might find yourself saying, it’s just homefield advantage. It’s not THAT huge. Oh skippy, how nieve you really are…going back into the early 1970s, EACH AND EVERY World Series that went to a Game 7 (which is played on the “home” field) has WON! That means every singel World Series game 7 I’ve seen in my life has had the home team come out on top.
And even if baseball wanted to make the All-Star game a little more exciting and meaningful, this was clearly not the first step. Let’s try eliminating the rule that says each team must have 1 representing player. You think the 3-23 Detriot Tigers deserve an ALl-Star?! Are you kidding me?! And homefield advantage for the WORLD SERIES could come down to a DETRIOT TIGER?! HELLO!!!!!!!! I swear to god I’ve woken up in Bizaro World….
But like I said, this is just a reaction to last year’s game. Baseball wants to keep happy the people in high places who shell out $500 to go watch one of these pointless games just so they can pull out their cell phone and look important whenever the camera shines on them. So how would I suggest determining the method for which team gets home-field advantage?!?!
How about the team with the best record?? Or is that too simple for the thugs in charge of baseball……..
Everybody go here and click on the first video, titled Bush v. Bush. It’s one of the funniest clips The Daily Show has ever done.
Ok, the one thing keeping a smile on my face….the Mariners are playing tonight on TV!!!!! =)
I updated the Bio and Music section. I probably added 25 songs to my playlist, so be sure to check those out. I don’t feel like posting tonight. Today was the last day of classes though, so that’s a good thing. It’s actually 2:40 AM and I am going to bed. I know. That is like early as hell for me. Be sure to come back tomorrow night to see how the Mariners game went!
He’s a load! LOL….good times.
Hey everybody. I know it’s been a while since I posted. Sorry bout that. I was a little busy this weekend and sometimes I just don’t have the time to post. Last Thursday I packed some stuff up and took it down to Charleston to go ahead and start moving. I didn’t want to have to move all my shit at once after my finals, so I figured I might as well start moving a little bit by bit.
On Saturday, I drove back home since I had to get some tax papers from my dad and I needed to do my laundry. It was nice being home with the family. We played baseball on Sunday and that was fun as hell. I hit about 4 homeruns over the fence and we still barely won. Tommy, Clay, and I figured we’d join a tournament in StarCraft too. People won’t realize what hit them =) My dad cooked a DAMN good meal last night too. I swear, he could have been a professional cook on the side if he had wanted to. But he did well enough in the profession he picked =)
I love R. Kelly’s Ignition Remix. And I usually HATE that kind of music. Go download it though. It’s good. Tommy had it on the computer back home. I did some Criminal Justice homework this weekend while I was back home. The study guide foe the exam was posted and I downloaded that and started filling it out. Then I realized that I had to do this “Criminal Judge” thing. See, we had to open this program he had posted and in it, you were the judge. You heard both sides argue their case and then you had to make a ruling. There were six cases and I was 6 for 6 baby! And out of 175 people, only like 20 made perfect scores. Needless to say, I was pretty happy…..too bad I screwed around in the class earlier this semester. Lol. (*sidenote* Am I supposed to capitalize the L in lol? I mean, it’s technically the start of a sentence….if you can even call it that. Ok, so maybe it isn’t a sentence. But it looks funny with L. And it bothers me without the L. These are the kind of things that take up 4 hours of my time contemplating. Please, if anybody knows the answer to this, let me know.)
I just found out that President Bush is most likely speaking to the graduating class here at USC. That just blows my mind. President Bush. No, not President Bob Bush who runs some local company, the President of the United States of America. I think the biggest name to ever speak here at USC is a guy who knew the brother who was neighbors with a barber who groomed Bill Cosby’s dog. God, I want to go just so I can hear Bush speak in person and then mock and laugh at him later. That would be like the ultimate graduation present this great country of ours could give me. Just load me up with ammo to use against President Bush for the next year and I would be set.
I received some interesting news this afternoon. I’ll pass it along if it ends up being true. It actually made me start thinking about the people who read / potentially read my site and I realized that I don’t post some things that I want to because I don’t want to offend anybody. And then I thought “why the hell am I doing that? I don’t like 99.99% of people out there anyways.” So no more holding back. The only person I need to be censoring for is Jules.
Head over to the Bio section. I added a “50 random ass facts about me” section to it. Well it’s not up right this moment, but it will be tonight. I’ve got 39 so far. That’s all for now.
THIS JUST IN!

I’m glad I don’t have any exams on Thursday 
No post tonight. But download this song. It’s amazing.

Damn, it’s been way too long inbetween this post and my last post. Sorry bout that.
Well let’s see here. I went down to Charleston this past weekend and that was fun =) On Saturday, Jessica and I went and played Oozeball with some people from her sorority. Oozeball is pretty much volleyball in a huge pit of mud. Put it this way. It’s damn fun! We ended up fininshing 2-2, which was pretty good for us. I was a little pissed with myself though because I cost us a few points by knocking the ball out of bounds. But diving around in the mud made up for any anger I had with myself! Jess got really sick this weekend though. YOU DON’T HAVE SARS!! There. I just had to get that out of the way =) She has a sore throat and her body aches all over and she was joking this weekend about how she had SARS. She won’t listen to me when I tell her she doesn’t have it, so everybody go tell Jess she doesn’t have SARS and wish her well!
I only have 1 1/2 weeks of class left plus a week of exams. Not damn bad. I have plenty of ASStronomy left to do. I really hate that class. It’s a self-paced class that I took last Spring and ended up having to take another hour of this semester to get the full Lab credit. Usually about 800 people take the class each semester and they average about 500 people failing. Enough said. It’s ungodly hard to learn and you have to just cram everything in right before you go take the quiz and repeat the process until you pass it. Needless to say, I waited until the last minute to do mine, so I will be in there this week for a few hours trying to finish that up. After that, I’ll have my FINALComputer Science Project to finish up and then just study for exams.
I still don’t know where I am working this summer. I am going to call a few places this week and send in a few applications and hopefully find something. I’m just psyched about living down in Charleston with Jess for the summer. It will be the first time that we have lived 24/7 with each other for more then a few weeks, which isn’t such a huge thing since we practically live together now since we are together 4 straight days out of the week. And last summer we got to spend most of the nights with each other, so this won’t be that different. But it just feels cool knowing that we will be living together. And the house that she found looks so damn cool. Chloe will love the fenced in back yard and from what I’ve seen, it looks really cute.
I have a few sections of the video games section ready to go up. I just need to code the colors to look like each game and then I will post them. I also edited the Iraq section (it’s not up yet) and I think I am going to add a new section to the Mariners page, which will have a daily update about each game typed by yours truely. I do that on my IM name anyways, so why not do it on my site where I have unlimited room?
I have become addicted to StarCraft again. Tommy, Clay, and I play it all the time now and I am looking into a few tournaments that we might be able to enter into this summer. They are coming down to stay with Jess and I for a week or so sometime, which will be pretty fun. It would be even cooler if I could happen to find a tournament down here that we could go win =) If not, we’ll just find something on-line to play. I was supposed to go play in Atlanta last September, but I had no car and that really sucked. I wanted to go see how I would match up against the “pro” gamers who play StarCraft religiously. I know I wouldn’t have a shot against them, but it would still be cool as hell to play them and see how long I could hold out. I’m thinking about starting a clan with just Tommy, Clay, and I in it. So if you see any weird pages on here, just ignore them since they will probably be part of our clan’s homepage =)
Well, I’m off to bed. Won’t SOMEBODY leave me a comment for when I wake up?!
Well even though it says Wednesday up there, I have yet to go to bed, so it’s still Tuesday for me =) So I didn’t break the promise. Anyways, this is another short post. I am about to run around campus at 2:30 AM and post some more flyers for tutoring in Computer Science 102. All the class does is simple HTML. I finished my tac return earlier too =) I actually sent it in back in March, but the darn thing got rejected because I put a 5 where a 3 should have been and they caught that. Oh well, I’m glad I got it figured out in time.
DOWNLOAD THIS NOW!!!!!! I cannot wait until the next Matrix movie coming out next month. The link is a download of the new and final 90 second trailer. Such a badass movie. And I have yet to see it.
I worked on the Iraq section for a while longer tonight. I was doing that while listening to my Mariners win their ballgame tonight and take sole possesion of 1st place in their division =) I LOVE baseball season, especially when the Mariners are doing well!
Well I am off for the night. I only have 1 class tomorrow, so of course I’ll be on-line all day long. Hopefully I’ll have enough time to finish up the Iraq section!
Well it’s been a while since I posted. That might have to do with Jessica’s roommate’s not paying the electricity bill on time meaning our power went out for the weekend =) I’m about to head to bed so I don’t feel like posting too much, but I worked on my Iraq arguements over the weekend and should have it posted by tomorrow. So look for the new Iraq section coming soon to a store near you…er, I mean this website. And even if it isn’t ready by tomorrow, I’ll still give ya a nice loooooong post to read. I promise =)
