November 26th

Turns out that I took like...14 days off. A fortnight if you will. Back to it.

  • My computer is on the 30 day DL retroactive to the 16th. Three weeks basically. Some bullshit about a piece of solder and the motherboard. Turns out I might lose everything too. Which is only mildly depressing. It isn't depressing because I have a lot of important stuff. Everything that I had on there I was done with and had been turned in. It is depressing because I am in season two of a Madden Franchise that I am 7-5 in and fighting for a playoff spot. Again, not a big deal, just a little irritating.
  • I am not in the Christmas Spirit and refuse to be until something important happens. Like December first, that would work. Plus, Christmas commercials blow. Really, let's do something creative. And as soon as I see one of those wackass Kleenex commercials with the claymation-esque noseblowers, I'm going to blow a gasket.
  • If Ohio State goes to the National Championship game, I am going to watch the game with Geoff. Drunk. That's the only way to watch OSU football, or any other Big 10 team for that matter. Plus, we will have a bet if they play West Virginia. For each point that WV wins by, I get one dollar. For every point OSU wins by (not bloody likely) I he gets a dollar. I have complete faith I will win at least $14 in this scenario.
  • How good is home? I mean honestly. I like it here at school but home is where it is at. Watching the Cavaliers at the Q or at home with my Dad, talking literature with my mother, hanging out with my brother when he is around and not at work...it's fantastic. I just had a week at home. Good Lord, how hard is it to come back to school after that? Damn near impossible. And the thing is, I know people who miss school when they are at home. How? I miss home when I am at school and I am counting the days until I get to go home for winter break.
  • Turns out that my knee is OK. I know that you were worried. No big deal. Just a little twisty, that's all.
  • If Anderson Varejao doesn't want to play in Cleveland anymore, that makes two of us. He isn't going to get his money regardless. I'm just irritated that we didn't trade him last season to get Mike Bibby like I was saying we should have...on my other blog. I called all of this. Once I figure out how to link, I'm going to link to that. Fuck him. And fuck his brother and his agent. They can all go to Brazil and hang out and wait for nobody to want to pay them.
  • Today I began a diet. Workout and or racquetball four days a week, Slimfast for at least one meal a day, cut down on fat, increase proteins and fruits and veggies. I will let you know how it works. This came about because I'm bigger than I ought to be and need to drop about 15 or 20 pounds. It can be done. I just have to make it happen. One thing is for certain, around Christmastime and New Years, fuck the diet. I am pulling out all the stops. As my friend J-Cro would say "To hell with health right now. Eat. Drink. And for God's sake, be merry. It's a celebration bitches". Amen to that. And by the way, if over break you see me eating leftover beans, ham, cookies, and potato salad and drinking a beer or a glass of wine...don't you dare say anything, if I respond, you will be sad about yourself.

Donnage out.

Turns Out I'm Not Quitting. Nov 12th.

Hey, been a while. I would love to give you some long drawn out story about why but frankly, it seems boring. Here goes.

  • Reports of my quitting have been greatly exaggerated.

  • I.H: While your comment about quitting easily and the rest of my life being sucky is noted, it is not the reason for the comeback. Life is sucky sometimes, I know this and everyone else does, but here is to perseverance. PRESS ON INDEED MY FRIEND!

  • How cool was the football video? There are more but I don't feel like waiting 40 minutes for them to upload. They are available upon request.

  • I would like to thank The Fighting Illini for making the BCS Title Game worth watching. OSU losing made my weekend and my college football season. Now Oregon and LSU can play each other and it will be a great game. Oregon by 7. Plus, how annoying is OSU? I mean, I know you guys whooped up on Akron, Youngstown State, and the crappy Big 10 Conference and all. Please. O-H......N-O!

  • I sort of twisted up my knee in a botched piggy-back attempt this weekend at OSU. I requested the ride, my friend obliged. I jumped to get on his back...and he...ducked. I went over the top and twisted it a bit. This was Friday, I am still a little swollen and stiff and definitely sore. I can put weight on it though and it hasn't caused me poor sleep so I am not too worried. Someone pass the Ibuprofen.

Peace, Love, Hoops. The Donnage.
