Description

Ok, so apparently, all of ya'll need a description of me. So I'm about 5'9" Caucasian, I weigh about 160 pounds last I checked. So that would make me average, not a body builder, sorry ladies. I have brown short hair hazel eyes. I have a thin face with a gap in my front teeth and I walk with a hunch. I were glasses only to read and computer usage. I’ve been told I have ears the size of Texas, and hands that should catch any football, but the only part of that sentence that really makes sense to me is the ears, because I suck at football. Despite how big my hands are. I can throw it, not catch it. I really have the hands and feet of someone that should be 6’2” or so, it’s kind of weird, but I’m used to it, even though I used to get teased for having big feet in middle school. But not really anymore. That's it really. That's it really.

Final blog

So I remember during class Professor Wallace said something about the more blogs you write the more you get into it or something like that. Well I used to have a Myspace page. I got rid of that, and I used to blog on it all the time. The thing is that, I never got any comments on my blogs. So I thought it was pointless to write all those blogs. There was this feature on Myspace where you can see how many people have viewed your blogs, and I got quite a few views, and out of all those "views" not a single comments. This I never understood, and eventually stopped caring. I began the attitude of believing that Myspace was just a popularity contest of who can get the most friends, and whatnot. I saw someone with 1,000 plus friends one, (and no, Myspace stalking is NOT illegal.) But those days are over. Now I just have my Facebook page and accumulated over 90 friends, which is pretty good for me concidering hiw unpopular I was in High School. And it's almost the same trend as it was for Myspace, rarely would I get a comment, every once in a while. I don't really talk to anyone on Facebook, out of all of those people. Just about 3 our 4. My sister is one for sure. But I haven't even talked to her on Facebook in a while. On there it's your wall, you post something on someone's wall. I think the last time someone wrote on my wall was June, before that was sometime last year probably. The people I have on Facebook I knew from middle school and are I suppose family members in Michigan and a cousin that lives here as well. So it's really a way to keep in "contact" even though we never talk. Funny how that works. And my sister, we talk on Skype more than Facebook. Here's a link to my page if anyone's interested. So there you have it. My final of 12 blogs. And my position is that blogging is still boring, I'd rather have a real spiral journal, and Myspace is crap almost along with Facebook. Enjoy!

Picture

I'd figure I would explain my picture that I have up there. I'm the taller one by the way looking up. There's actually a story behind that picture. It takes place in Washington D.C. at the Vietnam Memorial Wall. I'm reading the names, (rows and miles almost of them) and my brother in law Robert, (the other guy in the pic) is look down at letters to the fallen soldiers. Some of the soldiers had letters written to them that their families put there at the walls below their names. That was only one of the about 9 or 10 places we went to on that vacation trip. I'll only list a few. We went to the Air and Space Museum, Museum of Natural History, Lincoln Memorial, and more. During this vacation, we actually rented a house instead staying in a hotel, this was actually a killer deal. The funny part was the house was right outside a cemetery. We knew where to turn when we were going to the metro and coming back when we saw Buck Wong's grave. He was our landmark for that occasion.

Graduation

Graduation is right around the corner, and I'm just hoping that I pull through with all my classes. For the first time since my first semester of college, which was back in 2004, I'm taking 12 credits. So far I've been able it keep up just fine on all assignments, although I'm struggling with the excel assignment (go figure) in my IS 101 class. So I scheduled an appointment in the writing center to help me out. Hopefully it works. So I've turned everything in on time so far, and gotten Bs or better on everything, so, so far so good looks like. I just hope I can keep it up. These 4 classes I'm taking right now, are the 4 I need to graduate, I'm not taking a single pointless class this year. I need one more english class, a computer science class, human relations, and science credits. I'm taking all 4, come December, and all 4 are completed with a sufficient GPA, I get to graduate with a General Studies degree, and off to El Paso I go. That sounds like a plan to me. I plan on no obstacles in the future, if any occur, I want to get overcome those obstacles. (Who wouldn't)

January

January is coming fast. It's just 3 months away. Everyone knows that the 1st of January is New Years. Duh. But January is much more than that to me. I'll have a niece by the 10th (approx) and it's actually pretty exciting. I'll be done with school. As in graduated from TMCC. So I'll have the freedom to move. My sister lives in El Paso, so I'll be moving down there after I finish school. I was told that if you write your goals down, then you have a higher chance of actually following through with your target goal. I just wrote down some of them, so hopefully it actually works. I just wish it wasn't for a class. So those are my plans for January. A nice part about January is it's not too incredibly cold in El Paso, so that's a nice feature. They sorta have 4 seasons there, and not really much if any snow. However, they did get a record amount of snow last year. So if you don't care about the weather in Texas, or what I'm doing with my life, then it's best to lay off this blog. It might just bore you.

Football Week/Last Day of Baseball

I belong to three fantasy football teams. This was a little bit of an advantage, and a disadvantage at the same time. I had a 1 in three chance of getting a victory in one of my teams. I also had a chance of losing all three. That would have sucked. But that didn't happen, one guy that I went up against put in an illegal lineup so I automatically won the game.
Today was also the last day of the regular season of baseball. This was for everyone except the Minnesota Twins and the Detroit Tigers. They are tied for the divisional title now, and there will be a tie breaker this Tuesday at the Metradome. Whoever wins, wins it all (the Divisional title anyway) the loser goes home. No wild card, the Red Sox already clinched it. Since the Twins are such a tough team at home, and have been playing hard lately, I take them to win it.

UNR VS UNLV

So I went to the game to day. What a game! Really the end score should have been 80 to 7, but in the first half we kept kicking our own asses. We had a total of 5 fumbles. Only 1 of those fumbles we recovered. This is a very bad thing in the football world. UNLV recovered 4 of our lost fumbles and cashed in at least 2 of them for touchdowns. By the half, it was tied at 21. By the second half started, we finally figured out how to hold onto the ball, and UNLV's defense had no chance against our 560 yard rushing offense and our 6' 6" mobile quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Here's a rundown of why our team couldn't be stopped after they held onto the ball after the second half: Starting off with Colin Kaepernick, ran for 173 yards and passed for 208 yards. There was also this kick ass play on the 6 where Kaepernick looked like her was doing a reverse to Lippencott, but shortly after the quick flip to him, Lippencott threw a touchdown pass to the wide open Kaepernick waiting in the endzone for a pass from Luke Lippencott. Next, Luke Lippencott ran for 170 yards and a TD, and lastly the star of the day was the freshmen Mike Ball who ran for 184 yards and 5 touchdowns, including an 89 yarder in the fourth quarter that really set the tone for the game. Since we stopped the defense so well, and held onto the ball on offense, we were scoring machines and won 63 to 28 and clobbered or non-conference counterparts, and kept the Fremont Canon blue for another season. Go Pack!

Car (Part 2)

I got my car back yesterday about about 5 hours after I took it into my mechanic. I was happy with the result, but puzzled at the same time. By the way my car was acting, I was sure it was the alternator, but it wasn't. I actually saved myself money because it was the battery. The puzzling thing is that I replaced the battery in my car about five times already. This is no joke. I have had this car for about 2 and a half years and it's already gone through 5 batteries. All of which have been warrentied of course. So each time I replaced them it was free. I don't understand, and neither does my mechanic understand why my car keep going through so many of these things. One car battery should last four to five years. I've gone through 5 in not even 3. Somethings up with my car, and it's got to be more than that it's a ghetto old Honda.

Car (part 1)

I tried to get to school nice and early today so I can get to the computer lab and print up a paper since my printer is out of ink. I got into my car, and it wouldn't start. I just turned, and turned, and turned. But no dice. This really pissed me off because I knew what the problem most likely was, half way through me attempting to start the car, my radio went out and the A/C power went down. This to me meant that the alternator went out. This is a slight problem because my alternator was replaced not too long ago, like barely a year ago. So I ended up taking my moms bug today, but tomorrow, I'm going to try to jump my car and take it to my mechanic and find out if it's really my alternator or not. More on this probably tomorrow.
