The Big Game

So what do we do know. With the crazy system known as the BCS, determining who will play for the national championship will be tougher than ever. I don't think that I am a fan of having Ohio State and Michigan square off again in round two of the event. Besides with OSU taking Game 1, it would be fitting that UM takes game 2 and then we find ourselves back in the same predicament. How do you determine who the champion is with both teams potentially splitting the season series. And what about the other teams that deserve a chance...well you do the math.

USC - they lost to Oregon State (hmmm the Beavers aren't even at the top of the PAC10)
The mighty Notre Dame - They got blown out by Michigan
Florida - they make a decent argument but the Gators are not the best 1 loss team, they got handled by Auburn
Arkansas - a good 1 loss team but the strength of schedule isn't as good as Notre Dame

Alas it appears as if it should be a rematch Ohio State and Michigan. And by the watch Troy Smith for Heisman.

A Birthday to Remember...I think

Yeah boyyyy...I'm not Flavor Flav but my peoples had me feeling like I was the man of the hour. Shots out to all of the people that surprised me in some way or another by putting together a few nights of all out fun. Anyone not pictured here, I apologize but it was supposed be a regular night out with maybe 2 or 3 people. Here's what happens when you're friends won't let you get old in peace.

Oldie but a Goodie


Here are some of the pictures from a few nights that I won't be forgetting anytime soon:


Pay It Front, Back, and Side to Side

Now I now you're not sure where I was going with this title but I have to admit I wasn't sure either. I couldn't tell if I had a UGK classic song stuck in my head or if this had real meaning. And by the way, if you are thinking what/or who is UGK and exactly what I am referring to then you are not a true hip hop head. But enough of that, my real meaning for this post is to highlight the importance of giving. So I am telling everyone out there to to give front, back, and side to side. Now I could have been cliche and just said "Pay It Forward"...like the movie but thats not me.
Giving Back


On my quest to better myself, and believe me there is a lot I have to work on. I wanted to share my experience and hope that you all continue or start to do anything at all that you can to make a small difference in the world we live in. So my plea is that in a time where its easy to bash politicians for there slander filled ads and moral injustices, lets move them to the side (because their only human) and take matters into our own hands. Please VOTE, VOLUNTEER, DONATE, and PRAY, so that you can make a difference in what the world looks like tomorrow. Here are some pretty cool experiences from my chance to volunteer with Big Brother/Big Sisters. It doesn't have to be with an organization, it could be you making a difference on your block our at the Y, or donating clothes. Let me know what your thoughts on this.
