Ramblings about Various Things

Sleeping In

(Baby Koala Bear Sleeping) 
Sleeping in Today was Amazing, it was the first day since I got in Colorado that I wasn't up before 8 AM.
I woke up at 10 today, and then just laid in the bed for 2 hours: AMAZING!
Hopefully all my weekends won't be like that, but this weekend definitely I just needed to chill.

Soccer
I watched the soccer game today (the second time in my life I've actually watched one, first one was USA vs UK). Unfortunately we lost, to Ghana. It would've been kool to see them continue. What I find amazing is how things look when the do replays, they like slow it down and zoom in, and it's like totally crazy like all the positions their bodies be in. Soccer is definitely no joke, physically. But this is:
 (hahaha)

Weather
It's been kool being out in here in Colorado. Today was the first time it rained since I've been here. All the others day were HOT and sunny. But it's actually really really beautiful, esp. the campus the school is on. SO pretty. I hope it stays that way, although I do need a little rain every now and then in my life.


Persons Unknown

But um, oh, I wanted to talk about this new show called Persons Unknown, airs on NBC on Mondays. It's about this seven people who get like kidnapped and sent to this ghost town. they basically are trying to escape, but they have no idea why they are there, who it is that's watching them (there's camera's everywhere). And they tried to escape many times, but they were all unsuccessful. I like the story, but not so much the acting, especially the main character lady, SO BAD.

Also another problem in like the first two episodes (there's only 3 so far), the main male is white (no surprise) but he was like seen as the leader, he was doing everything to help them escape, and the black guy (who is a soldier) was kinda like his 'slave', from my point-of-view, cuz he was like yes sir I can do that (no exactly, but you'll have to watch it to get what I'm talking bout), but I figured that was coming from him the army thing, which in a way slavery sorta. Also the black guy is Muslim, which I thought that was interesting. There's also this blonde chick, who I think was like drunk when she got kidnapped, which was kinda funny.Then there's This CRAZY lady, she was like in the psychiatric place, the rich guy, and the sketchy-looking guy. But um I'll be watching this hopefully every week. or at least catching up on the weekends.

Big Brother
Speaking of shows, Big Brother (I can't believe all last summer, I updated about that) is coming back on july 8th, don't think I'll be able to keep up with the episodes during the week, hopefully I'll be able to watch it on the weekends. There's no info on the houseguests or the house yet, there will definitely be something by next week.

Okay that's it, I don't feel like typing anymore.
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

Randoms.

One Week Left! 
until I am the big 2-1!!!
ask me if I'm excited, cuz I AM!!!!

I honor of my proximal 21-ness, I decided to watch this film entitled 21.


okay so like the first 30 mins of this movie was really weird. it reminded me too much of college life, like including the math and everything (yeha that was really descriptive). Overall though, this move was pretty kool. I give it a 7/8 outta 10. But then I looked it up on wikipedia (a random habit of mine after watching a new movie) and people totally hated it. It was a good film kept me interesting for about 2 hours, that's pretty hard to do, most of the time.

Also this thanksgiving break, I watched way more sports (there was nothing else on)
like at any sports game, I stopped and watch it for at least a minute.
I watched 2 NU football games (repeats of our wins against Illinois & Wisconsin). Couple of NFL and NBA games. 1 NU women's basketball (did you kno we were 4-0, until that game? also we beat #10 DePaul, when did they get good?). 2 NU Men's basketball (against Norte Dame & Iowa State, both which we won, making us champions in the chicago inviatation challenge thingy, awesome!).

why is this relevant?

Because this is coming from a guy, who has a kid, I distinctly remember this, I believed that all sports were stupid, all you did was kick that ball around back and forth (I think this was because I didn't play any sports). and to imagine myself about 10/11 years later watching basketball and football like all thanksgiving weekend pretty much just weird/impossible.

But I think this entrance into the "sports world", comes from my love of NU football, which all comes from NUMB, interesting how one decision to be in the marching band changed my life completely, although I'm sure any other decision in college would have been just has life changing.

okay that's it...........

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!!!!!

Current Obsession: NU FOOTBALL!

Today, the NU football season will officially began with a 11 am against Townson.

I'm going to be at the game (with the band). Therefore you should too!
If you're not you can always watch it on the BTN, or just head back here to see if we won or not.

We should win this game, but I'm just excited that the season has began.

Oh, this was to say this is going to be my obsession for a long time, basically till the end of the quarter.

GO U! NU!



GO 'CATS BEAT THE TIGERS!

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!!

Random Updations (whew)

So Monday, was Big Ten's Media Day, where each football coach talked and answer question. sounds pretty crazy. well not really. I never saw Fitz speak, but luckily LTP posted the video of Fitz. here it is (on LTP, = Lake the Posts btw). Couldn't get the vid to load (slow wireless connection). check it out though.
so here's a photo.

(ahhhhh)

Can I just say I love Coach Fitz (of course I can). And for the umptenth time I am so excited about football. It'll be nice to who's gonna be on offense. I think our defense should be solid. So hopefully we'll have some people who will score points. I'm sure we will.

so excite about football!.

=================================================================
Random Note:
speaking of NU, i'm on a NU calendar for the month of January (just call me Mr. January <---so lame!) for NCE at MLK day thing....still can't believe I'm in it. I mean like I do with any calendar I just flipping through it, looking at the pictures and I see myself, and I just like OMG!. For one, I didn't know people were taking pictures of me, but I knew they were taking pictures, of course. And that means that someone thought that photo was good enough to be on a calendar. Idk, just makes me even more happier to be at NU, even if I'm just on a calendar.

================================================================

BB Updation

so Jessie is HOH. um Michele won POV, took herself off, and now Jordan and Casey (offbeat clique, who's a 5th grade teacher). I don't like this, like Jessie had no real reason to put him up, like dude's not coming after him. I just think Jessie's really scared cuz Casey has come really close to winning some competitions. Hopefully, people will not vote Casey off, I like him, I think he's kool, although I must admit Jordan's ditzyness is quite hilarious and entertaining. but whatev, it doesn't really matter.

it's pretty shocking that Ronnie has not been put up. This might've been a mistake on Jessie's Part...idk we'll (me & my other personalities) see.

==========================================================

Overall, I'm good. Summer's not eventful, but I'm so enjoying it because before I know it, I'm gonna be so busy, it'll be pretty difficult to find time to chill, and I'm not going to like that. So, I will enjoy my break while it lasts.

other than that,
I'll holla atcha later!
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

Who actually needs a title? just read...

BB Updation

so ol girl, umm Laura , from the Popular clique went home. Ironically I thought she would be the most likely to win (see how wrong I was), but this was before the first episode. cuuz there was vids of all the cast online, and I watched them. She just seemed the most determined, and was like she came to win soo I thought she would. But she went home mainly becasue she ran her mouth too much, she was talking smack about the HOH, Ronnie, not such a good thing. So she went home, NOT Russell. I think that may come to bite back Ronnie in the butt, actually I think he might be going home next week but who knows, crazy big brother.

Yeha, he might not go home, because Jessie is HOH (again, ughhhh)..and they're supposed to be in a alliance, but who knows well see. Most def on Tuesday.

=================================================================

VBS Updation

Last day was on Friday, it was an okay program, not as many children came back that was there doing the week. That seems to happen every year, but what can you do?. ummmm it was good though. I'm definitely glad it's over, cuz it was kinda stressful, but not THAT stressful. It was also TIRING. but now I don't have nothing (ooo double negative) to do per say...but I'll figure that out. I'm thinking about joining the choir thing for a musical at my church, but I don't know if I want to...we'll see....but for VBS that's it....

===========================================================

Eagle Eye

Saw this movie today, one word: CRAZINESS!!. Omg! This movie was ridiculous in the beginning, got kinda boring, predictable towards the end. I won't reveal to much of it. but Shia LaBaeof and this other lady (Michelle Monaghan...???) are seen as terrortists, and are basically running for their lives. Basically it's a set up. But by who? Pretty good movie, got and kept my attention.


==========================================================

Black In America: Part 2.

Watched the first part of this. and I guess it was better than the last one, can't remember what "Part 1" was like. But you know there was def a theme this time: Tommorrow Leaders. Basically showed people who are preparing and those becoming those Leaders. There was a small shout-out ,if you will, to NU. One of the people from the show who was of main focus, is (went?) to Kellogg, so that was really kool to see. I think it also gave a more diverse specturm of what it means to be black in America than what I remember from the first one. pretty kool, I guess.

They're supposed to be doing a Latino in America also....interesting.....my question is should they do a White in America? Or do we all already know that story!

===========================================================

NU Football Season

Just wanted to say I am so excited for the upcoming football season at NU! (for the 70th time). triggered by a football game. the Big Ten Network showed the game '08 against Illinois (our rivarly, and interestingly the nearest Big Ten School to my house). We won this game. and It just got me so excited to watch the game and see our football team winning (all that purple), and also to faintly hear the band in the background....it's just way to amazing. I saw a clip of the band once, like 2 second clip of the band, and I went crazy!

Here's highlights of the game, awesome!



Just mucho excited! AHHHH!
GO 'CATS!!!

[Title Goes Here]

VBS Update

2nd day completeo! yeha! pretty kool, alot like yesterday, but still had fun nevertheless. We pretty much had the same children from yesterday, so I was really trying to know their names & charactersitcs now. There's a couple of "bad" ones: one that just wants to talk all the time, and the other is just like crazy...

It's kinda hard, to me, to teach kids about God, well not hard, but just really difficult, unless you really make it at a level where they can understand, but I think most of them get the basic concept, they just don't seem like their paying attention. I don't know. pretty kool day, today.

===================================================
Tyler Perry Trailer

For his movie, "I can do bad all by myself" has been released. Starring Tariji P. Henson, Mary J. Blige (we'll see), Gladys Knight (we'll also see). & Some guy Rodriquez can't remember it exactly oh, and Tyler Perry. Of course I'll go see this, and I'm expecting mucho drama, which is what I love! so I'll probably like it. You can find the trailer here.

===============================================================

WTF?!

I don't think dudes should have words in their hair, but whatev. I think this is a dude from Pretty Ricky on the set of their new video "Tipsy". Funny thing is I saw this pic earlier today, and I didn't notice the word tipsy till I saw it again. Just a mess tho.

=================================================================

Pat Fitzgerald, Hall of Famer

The Coach of the Wildcats was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame, not for coaching, but for being a player @ NU in '95. He wons some awards that I don't want to look the name up. But anywayz dude was a beast on defense. This once again makes me excited about NU football season. AHH!

yeha that's it.
Update tomm about BB & other stuff...

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!

Updation about Unreleated Things...

BB Update
------------

The black girl, Chima, was almost gone y'all. I was about to be mad. But Braden (white surfer dude, in the popular clique) was evicted from the BB house, which is good cuz supposedly he said some racist stuff or something, idk nothin about it.

Ronnie (the Star Wars nerd guy) won HOH (big suprise, like really). so that means Chima is safe. kool. I'm not sure what's gonna happen with Ronnie as HOH, hopefully he'll be smart (hahaha get it he's apart of the Brain clique?) and put up an Athlete (Jessie or Russell would be good to me at least). The game has begun . yeha that's it.

=================================================================

Do the Right Thing

watched this Spike Lee Joint last night. It was alright. Basically a 2 HOUR movie about DAY in Bed-Stuy (shouldn't it be spelled "Bed Sti" cuz that how people say it..). I mean there was a lot racism in this movie and such (by such I mean profanity). And I see he was trying to bring racism up as a topic for discussion.

The ending was a little crazy, thoug, very dramatic from outta nowhere. Def a Black-tackular movie. I just thought it would be more funny then it wuz for some strange odd reason.

Oh, Spike Lee is in the movie, and I was watchin' it and I was like why he gotta be in all his films, cuz he's a terrible actor, like fo real. but anywayz this is definitely going on the list.

=================================================================

so today as I was cleaning the kitchen and the bathroom ( i don't know for some reason I just felt like doing that. well the dishes were piled high, i really didn't have to clean the bathroom though), I was listening to Musicals on my Ipod (Wicked, Sweeny Todd, the Wiz, Dreamgirls, Annie , Bye Bye Birdie, etc.) And I just began to think about how much I miss the THEATRE. I really enjoyed the stage in high school, it was really funn (duh, or else i would've done it).

ThereFORE I'm thinking about trying to do some type of play thing when I head back to NU. That would be SO kool. but yeha..I was totally in Musical mood today.

===================================================================

Also today, I randomly watched two basketball games from NU's previous season on the Big Ten Network.

In both of these games we won (GO 'CATS!). One against Purdue (Pur- Don't) & the other Ohio State (boo!), both of these were amazing games that I hadn't seen before. My question: why couldn't they play like that in the all games (especially the Illinois Game) ? they were just amazing. Hopefully we get better this year coming up.

Watching these NU basketball games made me think of football. and I am so excited for the football season. I love football, especially NU. but NU has really allowed me to enjoy football all around. but um yeha excited about that even though it's far away.

Found some highlight videos of those basketball games, watch. (Craziness, good crazy though)

Against Ohio

(that last shot, amazing)

Against Pur-Don't

================

actually these topics were releated BB-> racism -> Do the Right Thing & Musicals -> NU -> NU sports. yeha they did.
anywayz
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

Interesting Tidbits

just random stuff that i wanted to post about
i guess....yeha....


1.Nigaz: Racist??
According to therawfeed.com, there is a Russian and Nigerian joint venture
called 'Nigaz' (hahahaha funny). Racist?! maybe. Probably not.... the company is called
Gazprom. Combined with Nigeria, and abbrev-ed, you could get Ni(geria) gaz (prom). and according to one of the commenters on the post Gaz in russian means gas....idk. I just thought this was funny, caught me by suprise or somethin'....hahahaha


2. Fish stole an old woman's dentures?
Nope. It's a fish with human like teeth. Found this on Damn Cool Pics, which this defintely wass..
check out these pictures...


kinda freaky? right...but still damn cool.....


3. I could never be a weatherman.
Cuz my predictions about the Wimbeldon women's final was wrong. The Williams battled it down and what not. And I thought Venus would win but Serena won.
(intense).
Didn't get a chance to watch it, cuz it came on like super early on saturday......it was over bout the time i woke up and turned on the tv (like seriously...serena was holding the medal thing and then it went on commerical...)....I guess you should never underestimate anyone....I'm glad she won though..I'm just wonderin when someone else is gonna come along and beat them...or are they gonna have to quit to stop winning? who knows....

4. Blog Design
Has been the same since I started this blog.....thinking about changing it up. hopefully it'll be EPIC or something.....coming up in a couple day i guess or whenever I get around to it..

aight that's it...
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

Updations!!

The Williams Sisters,

are once again dominating the tennis world at Wimbledon. Now I don't watch much sports, but for some reason I can watch tennis. weird, cuz I have def have no inkling to play it (that stuff look tiring).

Today was the women's semi-finals: consisted of two games, each with a Williams sister. Serena struggled to win hers, but I it looked like a good, drama-filled game. Venus though easily won hers(against the No.1 person whatever her name was), I was so suprised I was like dang! (that's how suprised I was). Apparently Serena's match took like 3 hours to finish ( one reason why I won't be playing tennis, games too damn long...). But they both won in the semi-finals, and once again they get to play against each other.

Venus has won Wimbeldon the last two years I believe. So that's who I'm thinking is gonna win. But you never know with though Williams Sisters.
I believe the game comes on Saturday...yes Independence Day! ( which was when I realized Great Britain doesn't celebrate the Fourth) the little voice in the back of my heads says: "duh, Idoit! Great Britain wouldn't celebrate the American Independence Day because it's a celebration of America's Independce from Great Britain. That's like saying.....gosh I can't come up with a good analogy....but you get it!"


Also I'm so tired of seeing Michael Jackson's name in the media. The guy has been dead for a week, let him rest. Cause nobody really cares anymore about his death(and by nobody I means Me). Just have the funeral, so people can move on with their lives. It's so annoying!. I kinda wanna make a youtube video about it similiar to the Leave Britney Alone! one. I can just see it now: LEAVE MICHAEL ALONE!!!

(kinda looks like he's saying in the middle of saying 'Alone' as in 'LEAVE ME ALONE!', which would go really nice with my post, but of course we all know he's just screaming...hahaha)

......anywayz....hopefully by next thursday we won't be having this same problem. This crap is ridiculous and blemtious!

I have about 2 months left of summer about.......and I have accomplished nothing. This is about the point in summer where I am so tired of seeing these same people. I guess you could say I miss NU! (my alma mater...."Hail to Alma Mater........) By these same people I mean my family..and by family I mean my immediate family, which makes me wish I was doing something more.....more...what's the word?....idk....just MORE....hahahaha

alright...dude I think this was an actual post pretty kool, huh?!
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!
