- My girlfriend's roommates are becoming exponentially less tolerable as the days pass. I am now invisible when I go over there. She lives with five other girls and only one saw me and smiled. Didn't talk. Smiled. I don't like them. I'm charismatic and charming and these girls don't even acknowledge that I exist. It's brutal.
- We made Tacos. My girlfriend and I that is. They were good and it was fun. We also made some homemade salsa that was also really good. Especially since we just wung it on the ingredient amounts. It tasted real fresh and it looked real fresh too. A success.
- How do you know you go to a university that nobody cares about? When the team's football games are not on TV anywhere, no bars around town have them on TV, there are no ads, and I was talking about QB Tyler Sheehan to someone and they said "who is Tyler Sheehan?". It hurts me as a sports fan and as a Bowling Green State University Falcon that nobody cares. There is zero school spirit. Disgusting.
- Why is it when something goes wrong, everything else does too? My girlfriend's car has no tail lights so she was going to drive my car to work today. My car wouldn't start. Once I jumped it, it just fucking sat there. The car was in drive...BUT IT WOULDN'T LET ME DRIVE! I got this vision of my car just giving me the finger every time I gave it gas and it revved the engine but didn't move. My car is a son of a bitch, that's what my car is.
- How come nobody puts out CD's with more than one or two good songs anymore? Maybe it's my fault for expecting greatness from artists that have previously been great. Nas, 50 Cent, Kanye West, Talib Kweli, et al have been disappointing. The last three CD's that I can remember listening to the whole way through and loving all of them were "Wreck of the Day" by Anna Nalick, whatever James Blunt's first album was called, and "A Healthy Distrust" by Sage Francis. Problem is, neither of those CD's are less than a year old. Also, since there was nothing else decent to listen to, I played them to death within like...three months of discovering their greatness. This sucks because since then, nothing has come out that has made me excited enough about it to play it a lot. Old Tupac stuff is great, there are a couple good songs on Kanye's new CD, but that's about it. I think it is a sad commentary to say that when a CD has 4 or 5 really good songs out of 15-20 that that album is a success.
Peace, Love, Hoops.

I've been a part of a few different university communities, and school spirit is not necessarily related to the football team. Sure, it's fun to have a lot of people really into the sport, but at the same time, there's a lot more to building a solid community than a football team.
Of course, if your girlfriend's roommates are any indication of the sort of community you have there, I wholeheartedly agree with you that it sucks.
James Blunt's CD = "Back to Bedlam". He has a new one out, and I hate the single they've released from it. It sounds like bad British 70s pop.
"wung?" oh my.
I now feel bad that I didn't give you the salsa recipe, but then again, you didn't email me and ask for it, either. Nor is it hard to "wing."
IH-I get that the football team is obviously not foremost in importance. But I do think that a little school spirit would go a long way in building that sense of community. Not even just for the team(s), I just means school spirit in general...about anything...other than drinking and Wendy's.
