So today was a pretty good day.  It was my birthday.  It sucked that I still had to go to class and stuff but oh well it was still cool.  The weather sucked pretty bad as well. Although tomorrow will be pretty cold, I'll take some sunshine. I'll probably also need some coffee in the morning because I've just been dead tired. Overall though, it was a good birthday. I got a lot of good presents from my family when I was home for Thanksgiving. This includes my Droid. I love this thing. It does pretty much everything. I know I'll probably be bored with it in two weeks, but oh well. I had a good jank going on in the shower today. Listened to some Young Forever and Be Good To Yourself to start the day right. That combination of music is probably my favorite ever. I mean, you go from one of the best modern day hip hop artists in Jay-Z to the soothing, sweet vocals of Steve Perry with the rest of Journey jamming in the background. Another good thing that happened was that I got a chance to kick back and read up on some Potter this afternoon. Harry Potter that is. I'm about halfway through the Order of the Phoenix on my re-reading of the classics. Hopefully today I get to read some more. Well, I hope everyone else had as good a birthday as I did. Ciao y'all!

So today has been a pretty busy day.  I woke up pretty early and had to do two chemistry lab reports so I finally got myself caught up.  Then I went to my math lecture.  It was pretty boring again as usual.  Then I came back to my house and had some more Thanksgiving leftovers for lunch.  After that I had my last chemistry lab of the quarter.  It was a good feeling to finally have all of those over and done with for at least a few weeks until the start of next quarter.  Then I came home and had some more leftover Thanksgiving food for dinner.  I finally finished it all.  I then just hung out in my house for a little while and then watched some Monday night football.  Now I am starting to get down to some homework.  I have two sections of math homework that need to be done.  I also have two little short papers to write for my Engineering Ethics class.  I might also do some commenting tonight.  I also need to comment on my group member's memos that they wrote for our class tomorrow.  After that I should be done for the night.  It might be a long night with all that stuff to do.  Alright, I probably should start getting down to my work.  Probably will drink a cup of coffee to be able to stay up later.  That's all for my blog tonight.  Only 7 more I think!

So today was pretty lame and cool at the same time.  It was cool in the fact that we didn't have classes, it was still technically Thanksgiving break, and there were a lot of good football games to watch on television.  It was lame in the sense that we do have more classes tomorrow and this week is extremely busy because everything is trying to be crammed in before finals start.  I haven't started my individual memo yet, but I am going to start it as soon as I finish writing this blog, then I will email it to my other group members.  These blogs are finally starting to come to an end.  We only have eight more blogs after this one that I am typing right now.  Then its over.  Writing these blogs hasn't been nearly as bad as I thought it would be for the entire quarter.  At first I thought it was going to be terrible, but now it has almost become a routine for me every night.  Its also really nice to be able to get about a percentage point of extra credit.  I really need to get down to business on commenting though.  I am running behind on that. I don't think it should be too hard to catch up on though.  I really want to get all one hundred and sixty comments.  Those three percentage points should really help my grade.  Also, revising my ARP should hopefully help my grade in the end as well.

Well, today was pretty good.  I woke up and got ready for the Big Game. The Big Kahuna. The Big Cheese. Ohio State vs. Michigan. As you can expect, I got very little sleep last night since I was so excited for this rare opportunity to see the most historic rivalry in the country. To get myself ready I played Journey 's Lights and Foreigner's I Wanna Know Where Love Is. This was after I played some REO Speedwagon's I Can't Fight This Feeling Anymore in the shower. Just kidding.  After listening to this inspired music, it was time to enjoy the awesome game. It was great to see Ohio State just destroy Michigan. I was so happy for my Buckeyes and their triumphant victory. This was part of the reason I came to this awesome school so I could be there for the Big Game. Afterwards I came back to the house and took a nap. Then I watched Friends and had a delicious Chinese dinner. Those people make a damn good meal. Then we had people over for the night and had an unbelievable time. Although, it's back to school Monday, I'm just happy that the weekend has been a success so far. Well, it's time to read Harry Potter and drift off to sleep of sweet dreams of Cho Chang and Hermione. God, what a great day. I'm so glad I go to this school. Goodnight to all and Merry Christmans season!!!

Well, today was a good day. It's Friday and we didn't have class due to the holiday so that's always a plus. I wasn't too hungry today because yesterday I probably consumed in the neighborhood of 5,000 calories in less than an hour. It was good though. As usual, I had a great time with the relatives. There were many laughs and stories to be told. Also, the football was entertaining, except for the Bengals. It breaks my heart to see my favorite team go from division winners to hardly winners from one season to the next. But that's neither here or there because tomorrow is the Big Game. The Big Kahuna. The Big Cheese. It's an event that I am paying $30 to see because I bought the student package over the summer. It's Ohio State vs. Michigan from the Shoe. It's very exciting and I can already tell that there is going to be a lack of sleep in the mind of me because I'm just going to be so excited. I'm thinking that I'll get my day started tomorrow with some Any Way You Want It followed by some Be Good To Yourself to combine with a couple cups of coffee to get the blood pumping so I can be super pumped as well as warm because it is going to be a chiller tomorrow. I'm thinking I'll go with some of the thermal underwear my great aunt bought me for Christmas last year to prevent getting pneumonia as she always says. Well anyway, goodnight to all.

So today was Thanksgiving as I am sure you all know.  It was an awesome day.  I got two Thanksgiving meals, one for lunch and one for dinner, from both sides of my family.  Its also been nice to just relax with the family, not have to worry about school, eat a ton of food, and watch some good football.  Well, good football besides whatever you call this that the Bengals are playing.  Anyways, I can't wait to go back to school tomorrow and then go to the Michigan game on saturday.  I have already been to some pretty big Ohio State football games since I have been at school.  I have been to the USC and Iowa games last year.  Also, the Penn State game was pretty big this year.  None of those games even compare to the one on Saturday though.  It should be awesome.  I wish Michigan was actually a very good team though.  They are alright this year don't get me wrong, but they are nothing like what Michigan used to be.  The rivalry used to be heated and a battle, but the past few years haven't been anything exciting.  After kick off the game turns into a domination and its just a normal game once again.  On saturday I think it will be better than it has been for the past few years, but Michigan is still on the rise again and will be getting better in the years to come, making the rivalry that much more awesome once again.

So I am writing this blog a day late because I forgot to last night because I was coming home for Thanksgiving and really busy celebrating my birthday with my family (which isn't until November 30th).  Anyways, yesterday I woke up and went to my math lecture.  It was quite boring once again.  After that, I went back to my house and got all my stuff ready and then came home!  When I got home, I went over to my Grandma's house with my family for dinner and to celebrate mine and my cousins birthday.  It was a ton of fun and awesome to see everyone even though I see them all the time and I saw them again tonight for Thanksgiving dinner.  Anyways, last night for my birthday I got some money, some clothes, a portable hard drive, (1.5 TB if you know what that means) and a TomTom gps system.  I was pretty pumped.  It was a pretty good haul this year.  Right now I am watching the Bengals play the Jets on television.  It has been pretty disappointing so far.  The Bengals have had their chances and have played well at a very few points in the game but overall its just sad the things that are happening to them and what they are doing.  Oh well, after this game is over I will probably watch some television and then go to bed.  I am going to hang out at home in the morning and then come back to school late tomorrow night to get ready for the game!

So today in class we finished Battlestar Galactica.  To be honest, I like it a lot better than I thought I would.  The characters were all pretty cool and the plot was awesome.  The special effects were better than you would expect from only a miniseries.  I didn't really get the ending though.  Captain Adamo (I think thats how you would say it) says there are more humans on this thirteenth planet called Earth.  Funny how it would be called that right?  Anyways, so at the end it turns out he just made all that up?  Or there actually was an "Earth" for them to go to?  I was really confused by that ending because it seems a little weird that he would make up this new planet for them to take refuge when there is no planet and the people that are about to start a new colony of humans together would eventually find out that he was lying to them.  You really don't see very many movies like that where humankind actually ends up losing though.  Its kind of unbelievable to think about that scenario where there would only be 50,000 humans left.  Pretty crazy.  Anyways, I really did enjoy Battlestar Galactica way more than I thought I would.  It was definitely entertaining.  How about Mirror Lake tonight though?  I didn't feel like jumping, but I did go and watch a little bit and I jumped last year.  It is an awesome tradition and a ton of fun.

So today was a pretty stereotypical day.  I woke up and finished up writing a lab report for chemistry.  It sucked and took a little bit longer than expected.  After that, I had some breakfast and hung out and watched some television.  I then took a shower, got dressed, and went to my first class.  It was surprisingly warm outside today.  I couldn't believe it.  Anyways, my first class was my math lecture.  It was quite boring again today and I felt myself drifting off about halfway through the class.  I just couldn't focus.  I hate when teachers go over the proofs of problems and the theories but neglect to show you any actual examples of problems.  Its like telling me what needs to be done, but not telling me how to do it.  Oh well.  After that I went to my meeting for my analytical research paper revision.  I figured out what I need to have done for my paper to be much better.  After my meeting, I went to my chemistry lab.  I really can't stand those labs.  They are two hours and forty eight minutes long.  I can't believe I still have at least five more chemistry classes left before I am done.  It really could suck.  After my chemistry lab, I came back home and made myself some dinner.  I made scrambled eggs and three pancakes.  It was quite good I must say.  After that I just watched some Monday Night Football and did some homework and now I am about to go to bed.

Hey everyone.  So today was a pretty boring day.  I woke up pretty late and decided to go ahead and get some school work done.  I did a lot of chemistry and math.  I had some chemistry homework and a chemistry lab report to do that took a pretty long time.  For math, I had three sections of math homework to get done that also took a pretty long time.  I ended up being done with all my work around about four-thirty.  By that time, the Indianapolis Colts and the New England Patriots were playing.  That game had been pretty hyped up all week and the fact that one of my housemates is a die hard Colts fan made it that much more interesting.  The Patriots ended up winning thirty-one to twenty-eight.  The Colts were down by seventeen points going into the fourth quarter though, so they made it a good game.  After that, I watched some more football.  The Sunday night game was between the Eagles and the Giants.  The Eagles are really impressive so far this year.  With Michael Vick at quarterback they are pretty tough to beat.  It seems he has really turned his life around after all the problems he got into a few years ago with the dog fighting charges he had that put him in jail for like eighteen months I think?  Now he is a star quarterback in the NFL again.  Pretty cool story I think, minus the part where he killed innocent dogs.  Anyways, thats enough for tonight.  Goodnight.

Well, today was a good day. The Buckeyes won in a barnburner so that was awesome. It was great to see them hold on at the end. I'm hoping that they make the Rose Bowl next week by beating Michigan and Northwestern beating Wisconsin. Anyway, today was awesome. I had so much fun. I woke up, watched Friends again, and listened to Escape, Journey's 1981 album that shook the world man. It is so good man. Then, I played Call of Duty with my friend Bob and we had a great time. We had a great time. After the Ohio State game, we ordered Wings Over Columbus. It was very good. I got my usual, honey barbeque wings from the Wings Over Company. They were really good. Now, I'm watching SNL with my best friends in the world. Except my friend Jeff. He brought a girl over and now they are watching Role Models in his room. It is bothering me because he doesn't deserve that lol. Anyway, I hate the Steelers. The NFL sucks. College football all the way. Anne Hathaway is pretty hot man. She is marriage material as my friend would say. Well tomorrow/right now (since it is so late) is my best friend's birthday. He will be 20 years old. That is so cool because he is cool Well, I hope everyone had as great as a day as I did. Ciao.

Alright so today was a pretty awesome day.  It started off with me waking up and realizing that I had about three hours before I had class.  I didn't have class today until twelve-thirty.  So I wake up, more myself a bowl of cereal, make myself a cup of coffee, and then turn on the television.  The first thing I see on t.v. is James Bond Goldeneye.  It's one of my all time favorite bond movies.  I have seen pretty much all of them. So after that I went to my math lecture which was pretty boring once again.  Then I had a nice little break of about an hour.  Then I went to my chemistry recitation.  That was boring also.  All we did was some stupid work sheet that was pretty easy to say the least.  Those were my only two classes of the day.  Fridays are pretty laid back for me this quarter.  Once my classes were over, I came back to my house and just relaxed for a little while.  I played some video games with the guys in my house and I watched parts of different movies that were on television.   We walked a decent way down high street to get dinner tonight.  We went to Number 1 Chinese food again.  I love that place.  Other than that it was just your pretty typical night in college.  I really don't know what else to say about it.  Right now it is getting kind of late though.  I think I am going to watch some sportcenter and then hit the sack.  Goodbye

So BattleStar Galactica was surprisingly good today in class.  I really didn't know what to expect when I first heard we were going to watch it.  I really didn't know what to expect after I read that pretty terrible commonplace sample paper that was based on the show.  However, the show has definitely exceeded my expectations thus far.  The show started out pretty slow.  It was kind of boring watching them turn the Galactica space ship into some kind of museum.  Things got amped up pretty quickly though.  The Cylons began nuking a lot of the human planets.  It was pretty cool to see how much more advanced the Cylon technology was compared to the humans.  Obviously, I think the humans will eventually win this war, or else it wouldn't be considered a very good show.  It will be interesting to see how it will play out.  Obviously it will involve the really old fighter jets the humans begin flying because the Cylons didn't plan on the humans using such old technology so it appeared as if their electric pulse technology that disabled all the newer human technology doesn't work on the old human fighter jets.  Overall I am really interested to see how the whole war plays out overall.  I also find it really weird that the Cylons have the technology to impersonate human bodies, yet when the body is killed, the Cylons still exist.  Anyways, thats all for tonight.

So today has been a good day so far.  I only had one class today.  Math lecture.  It was extremely boring and I lost focus after about twenty minutes.  Afterwards, I went over to my cousin's house in Gahanna where my Aunt and Uncle were checking up on her house for her.  My uncle and I watched US Marshals. It is a really good movie with Tommy Lee Jones, Wesley Snipes, and Robery Downey Jr.   Then, we ordered some pizza from this really good place by my cousins house.  I got to bring the leftovers back home.  My Aunt and Uncle also gave me some burgers and sandwiches to bring back home.  On top of all this, my Aunt did all of my laundry for me.  I am pretty much set up until we go home for Thanksgiving break.  I am pretty pumped about that.  After that, I drove back home and I watched Super Troopers with my housemates.  I had a cup and a half of coffee and I am wired right now.  I have to admit, I had never drank coffee up until these past few weeks, but now I am addicted.  My day isn't complete unless I have at least one cup of coffee to get my day going.  It is probably just a mental thing, but it makes me feel likes it easier to get things done and get focused.  I don't think it is probably the most healthy thing for my body.  It has a ton of caffeine obviously.  My heart rate gets going.  Oh well.  Thats all for tonight.

Well, today I got to watch one of my favorite movies ever, Remember the Titans. It is the story of the 1971 T.C. Williams High School football team in Alexandria, Virginia and the overcoming of racial tension on their way to a state championship. Coach Herman Boone takes over for Coach Bill Yost after the school integrates, but keeps Coach Yost on his staff as a sign of respect. Coach Boone does an excellent job of bringing the team together at a camp in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. He unites two leaders of the opposite race in Gary Bertier and Julius Campbell at camp who assist in bringing a team of half black and half white players into one. Although the team unites at camp, they struggle to keep their momentum when they are thrust back into the real world with all the real world racial problems at the time. Julius and Gary make even more of an effort to unite the team as one and this time do so successfully. The Titans reel off win after win and finish the regular season with a perfect record. Their successes as a team on and off the field continue in the playoffs and clinch a spot in the State Championship. While celebrating the clinch, Gary is severely injured and paralyzed in a car wreck. This traumatic experience hurts the team altogether, but they unite for one more night and win the state championship.

So today wasn't very fun.  I woke up this morning and had to write and entire lab report for chemistry and also do the prelab for my lab later in the day.  At two thirty I went to my lab.  I had to miss a lab earlier in the quarter for important circumstances.  Needless to say, it has been really hard to catch up when I missed a two hour and forty-eight minute lab class.  Anyways, I have been trying to catch up for a few weeks now and I think that I finally have.  I finished the lab that I was behind on today and then I also came very close to finishing the lab that was assigned to today as well.  I should be all caught up after next Monday's lab.  After my lab, I came home and ate some dinner.  I play some Nazi zombies on Call of Duty with my housemates and then I had a lot of math homework to do.  After I did my two sections of math homework, I began to study for my chemistry midterm that I have tomorrow.  I hate how the chemistry department has their midterms at seven-thirty at night.  Its really a pain to be honest.  Oh well.  After I take the midterm tomorrow all I have left for this week is a math quiz on Thursday.  So it is a pretty easy week in general I suppose.  Not too much extra work to do on the side.  Anyways, I am about to watch some television before I go to bed.  I have to wake up early and start studying for chemistry again.  Good night.

I have to day that this was a pretty good weekend. Yesterday was so awesome. I got to be on College Gameday and got to see the Buckeyes 2nd half comeback in person. Not only that, but the band played like 3 of my favorite songs ever in Don't Stop Believin', Sweet Caroline, and Livin' On A Prayer. In my opinion, I think that's what got the team to rally was that halftime show. This morning, I got to sleep in and watch a little Friends to start my day. It was a very relaxing morning. Later, I toured an apartment that I might live in next year and I was pretty impressed. I spent my afternoon following the Cincinnati Bengals game online and eating over a pound of wings from Wings Over Columbus. Now that was a meal. I was so stuffed that I didn't even need to eat dinner. I got a good amount of chemistry work taken care of and then I even got a chance to play a few video games and watch more football. Overall, it was a great weekend. I can't wait for Thursday night because that's when Harry Potter comes out and it's going to be awesome. I've read all the books multiple times and Harry Potter has become somewhat of a religion of mine. I'm just counting down the minutes until the midnight showing. Well, it's about time to get some sleep so I can have a good week and keep my grades up.

So today was another awesome day.  I woke up really early to go to College Gameday.  It was an awesome experience.  We ended up standing only about 20 feet away from Kirk Herbstreit, Des Shepherd, Lee Corso, and Chris Fowler.  For those of you who don't know what this is, first of all, shame on you.  It is the biggest college football pregame show watched by millions of people around the country.  It has been around for years and is greatly respected.  I personally think it is pretty cool to be able to watch something and be there when I grew up watching the show.  Not to mention I was on espn for approximately a combined one minute of air time.  Not too bad for a days work I don't think.  After College Gameday was over at twelve, we came back to our house to hang out and eat before the game.  Then...it was game time.  For those of you who were at the game, you know how exciting it was.  Probably the second most exciting Ohio State game I have been to in my two years here at this school so far.  The only game better than it was the Iowa game last year.  The Miami game from earlier this year was almost as good as this Penn State game, but the Miami game wasn't really close after about the first quarter.  The game that was earlier today was awesome though.  The Buckeyes really did know how to make it interesting, but finally showed up to play for the second half and pretty much destroyed Penn State after the first half.

Blog 51

So today is a good day so far.  I had a chemistry quiz this morning that I am pretty sure I got a 100% on.  After that I didn't have any classes so I have just been at my house working on some homework earlier.  Since then I have just been relaxing and watching television and playing video games.  I really don't plan on going out tonight.  I am getting up early to go to college gameday, which is something that I have been excited to do ever since I got to school here.  I didn't get to go to college gameday last year because they came to the USC game and I wasn't at school yet to be able to go to that.  I am just now putting on some finishing touches to my commonplace paper.  I think it should be pretty good.  Probably a lot better than my Analytical Research Paper.  Anyways, the Buckeyes play Penn State tomorrow.  I think Ohio State will handle them quite easily and I don't really expect it to be much of a game.  The Bengals also play the Colts this Sunday.  I don't know how I feel about the Bengals chances.  The Colts have a ton of injuries to their defense and especially to their offense.  Their first, second, and third string running backs are all hurt so they are starting a fourth string running back against the Bengals.  It should be interesting and  I guess we will just have to wait and find out how the game plays out.  Oh well, thats it for tonight.  Until tomorrow.

So today was a pretty good day so far.   I woke up kind of late and went to a engineering group meeting for a little while.  After that I came back here and played some new Call of Duty: Black Ops.  Its a pretty sweet game so far I must say.  Then I went and got some chinese food and ate it.  It was pretty filling.  I had to take a little time out but then went shopping to Giant Eagle.  I got some pretty good food.  Right now I am just writing my blog while I watch the Karate Kid with my housemates.  If you haven't ever seen that movie, shame on you.  It really one of the best movies of all time in my opinion.  An great classic.  The world would be a better place with more Mr. Miagis around.  Seriously though, if you haven't seen it, you really should, everyone should see it in their lifetime.  After we finish the movie I plan on studying some chemistry.  I have another quiz tomorrow, it should be pretty easy so I am not worried about it.  I need to get to work on my Commonplace Paper.  So far I think it is pretty decent, but it has a lot of room for improvement and editing.  It was good to have a day off of school today.  A nice mental health day if you will.  I am also excited about the game coming up this saturday.  I am planning to go to college gameday saturday morning.  I have always grown up watching the college gameday pregame show every saturday morning.

Well, today was a great day. Woke up, ate some real good breakfast, blasted some old school Journey albums, and did my math homework. It was a glorious morning so I opened my window to let the warm breeze in. Then I went to class and mostly just played solitaire on my laptop while my TA talked about liquid helium and magnets. I came back, ate a Lean Cuisine for lunch and took much needed nap. When I woke up around 4 o'clock, my housemates came back and we all watched Friends. I think it is the best show ever! Today was the episode where Chandler proposed to Monica. I have to admit, I shed a tear or two everytime.  For real.  But that's not that the only reason why today was awesome. Today was awesome because there's no school tomorrow! That means I had a chance to kick back and relax and enjoy a malt beverage or two. Now I'm just chilling in my room after walking my friend Alan to his friend's Samira's. I did this because I love my friend Alan and I would never want anything bad to happen to him if he was walking alone. Tomorrow, I'm going to sleep in and maybe get some groceries at the Giant Eagle. Well, I think it's time to play some Top Gun Anthem and drift off into a pleasant nights sleep. I hope everyone's day was as great as mine!

Hello again.  So today was one of the better days that I have had in a while.  For some reason I was just in a generally good mood.  English class definitely wasn't very bad at all today.  I kind of enjoyed getting to read many of your papers.  It was interesting and not typically something that I would enjoy, but I did.  After all my classes today, I went over to my cousin's house to see my Aunt and Uncle.  They live by me in West Chester (suburb of Cincinnati) but they are up here to do some work on my cousin's house that she recently bought up here in Columbus.  Anyways, they took me out to dinner to this one diner type place by the house.  It was very good food.  It is always nice to get away from campus every once in a while.  It is a refreshing change of pace.  So after dinner my aunt did my laundry because I was too lazy to do it myself.  That was really nice of her.  While she was doing laundry, my uncle and I watched a movie.  After I left my cousin's house, I came back to my house here at campus and just hung out.  I watched two episodes of the HBO series The Pacific that just came out on dvd.  So far it is not nearly as good as the previous HBO series Band Of Brothers.  Band Of Brothers is the greatest thing since sliced bread.  Those of you that have seen it probably agree with me.  Those of you that haven't, you should!  I am a history and war enthusiast though, so that stuff interests me.  Anyways, thats all for tonight.

Okay so today was a pretty hectic day.  I woke up at seven thirty and had to study a lot of math for my math midterm at twelve thirty.  The math midterm was a lot more difficult than I expected.  I think I still did alright and was above the average, but didn't do nearly as well as I expected to on the midterm.  After I finished my midterm I had my ridiculously long chemistry lab.  The freaking thing lasts for two hours and forty eight minutes.  Anyways, after I finished my lab, I came back to my house and hung out for a little while.  The largely anticipated Monday Night Football game between the shitty Pittsburgh Steelers and the World class Cincinnati Bengals is on television right now.  The Bengals started out really crappy but have since recovered from a very early ten to nothing deficit.  Right now the score is ten to seven with the Bengals playing much better football and are threatening to score again.  As many of you might know, the Steelers aren't actually bad as I said, they are actually a very good football team.  The Bengals, on the other hand, have been seriously under achieving for the majority of this season.  It really is quite a disappointment.  All we can do though is just sit back and enjoy watching them try to pull out a few victories for the rest of the season, and beating the Steelers would definitely make that more enjoyable.

Hello there.  So today we get to blog about anything again.  To be honest, I am really starting to run out of ideas to blog about.  It has became a habit of mine to just list everything that I did during the day.  I haven't really done much yet today.  I woke up pretty early.  About eight thirty I guess it was.  I had two bowls of frosted flakes.  I usually eat frosted flakes every morning.  I watched some television while I worked on some chemistry homework.   Then I took a shower and shaved and brushed my teeth.  I then watched some more sportscenter and then I watched NFL live to see what they had to say about the football games today.  Right now I am watching the Browns vs. the Patriots.  I am a Bengals fan so I am kind of bummed, but also excited because the Bengals don't play until tomorrow.  The Bengals have the monday night football game against the Steelers tomorrow.  I am pretty upset with how the season has turned out so far.  I really don't like the Steelers and they weren't supposed to be as good as they are this year.  The Bengals, on the other hand, have really under achieved.  A lot of analysts had the Bengals going to the Super Bowl, but for some reason they just haven't been able to pull it together yet this year.  It looks like the Steelers or the Ravens are going to win that division again this year.  Oh well, at least Ohio State can hopefully make a good run at the Rose Bowl.

So today was a pretty uneventful day.  First, I woke up kind of late because we had a party at our house on Friday night.  It was pretty fun.  Then, I had a meeting with my Engineering group to go over some things. After that I did a lot of work for my classes and what not.  It wasn't very much fun.  Then my sister came and visited me for a while!  Right now she is visiting some of her friends that go here to Ohio State as well.   Then my housemates and I went to this Chinese take out place on high street.  You guys may have never heard of it before but it is called No. 1 Chinese takeout.  It was really, really good.  It looks like some little hole in the wall, but you get so much food for so little money.  I received about a pound and a half of food for five dollars.  I can eat quite a bit of food if I want to, but I couldn't finish all the chicken and rice.  Once I had all of that digested, we have been watching the newer HBO series called The Pacific.  It is really good so far.  We are 3 episodes into the series.  Now after we watched those episodes we are watching Remember The Titans for the second time in three days!  I just want to reiterate this again.  Remember The Titans is one of the best fricken movies of all time.  We are just now starting to get to the good parts in the movie so I'm going to get off here.  Until tomorrow, good bye.

My new title is:  Discrimination: With or Without Malice

At first I really couldn’t believe what I was hearing.  There was a large, simultaneous intake of air as my family around me all suddenly drew in a breath.  Looking around I saw a very large myriad of emotions in the range of shock, bewilderment, indifference, and even disgust.   Questions began flying about the room such as: “How long have you known” and my personal favorite: “Are you sure?”  This large array of emotions was released at the same point in time when my twenty-four year old male cousin stated one simple fact about himself: that he was gay.

So I had a pretty successful day today.  I had an Engineering and Math quiz and I am pretty sure that I aced both of them.  Also, I did about 20 or 30 comments in our English class today.  That was good.  It ended up being a very nice day out today.  It got a little chilly when the wind was blowing but when there was no breeze and the sun was out it was very calm and relaxing.  After I got done with classes, I came home and ordered some Wings Over Columbus with my housemates.  If you have never had it I strongly recommend it.  It is amazing food and you get so much food for how much money it costs.  After I ordered dinner I got down to business on some homework.  Got that out of the way for the night and at about eleven o' clock I decided to watch Remember the Titans with my housemates.  If you are in college and you have never seen this movie, shame on you.  I have seen it at least thirty times and can quote the entire movie.  Easily one of the best sports movies of all time and definitely in my top five or ten movies of all time.  Every time I watch it though I keep thinking that Gary Bertier really needs to not get into that car.  If you haven't seen it, I won't ruin that part for you.  But it is definitely one of the most inspirational movies out there that someone can watch.  It really makes a person want to do great things with their lives.  Anyways, thats about it for tonight.  Until next time....

So I don't know how many of you have been paying any attention to the recent election stuff that has been going on, but last night the Republicans reclaimed the House of Representatives.  I really don't identify with either Republican or Democrat, but the reason this is interesting to me is because John Boehner took over Nancy Pelosi's spot of Speaker of the House.  The reason this is cool is because John Boehner is from Ohio, and not only is he from Ohio but he lives about five minutes away from my house.  He represents my district in West Chester , Ohio.  Another cool thing is that there is a strong likelihood of him being the Republican candidate for the upcoming presidential elections in the next couple of years.  I think it is kind of cool that I live five minutes away from possibly the next president of the United States.  Besides that the rest of my past twenty four hours have been pretty lame.  A lot of school work and a lot of quizzes coming up.  Last night I watched Top Gun with my housemates.  Its probably about the 50th time I have seen that movie.  Probably my favorite movie of all time, or at least in the top three.  It has some really cheesy parts, but it exhibits everything that is awesome about the 80's also.  The real reason I love that movie is because of the fighter jets.  Yeah, every one thinks they are cool, but I have always been obsessed with them ever since I can remember.  I go to Wright Patterson Air Force Museum every winter with my Uncle for an entire day.  Its just a little obsession that I have.  Anyways, my 250 words are up so its time to get off of here.

So today I was supposed to have four classes, but upon looking at our English syllabus I discovered that we didn't have class today!  So I figured that with this new found time that was given to me I would take the time to write my blog, start thinking about my commonplace draft, and then actually eat lunch for once!  I never really have time to eat lunch because all my classes are back to back everyday.  It was a nice change of pace and I wasn't hungry for about five hours straight.  So what I have planned for the rest of my day is that I am going to write this commonplace draft, write two lab reports for chemistry, do my pre lab assignment for chemistry, and then maybe hang out a little bit before bed.  I don't know how much free time I will have exactly.  Oh well.  One thing that I am getting really excited about is the new Harry Potter movie that is coming out on November 19th.  I have been a huge Harry Potter fan ever since the first book came out.  I have read all seven of the books multiple times.  I mean I have read all of them at least five times.  I know its pretty insane and you would probably be justified in calling me a loser, but I can't help it. On the bright side, I don't dress up to go to the book or movie premieres.  That seems a little over the top for me, unless you are doing it as a joke.  Then it is kind of funny.  Anyways, I already have my ticket pre ordered for when the movie comes out.  Should be exciting.

So I am writing this blog one day late.  So yesterday I only had 2 classes.  I had my math lecture and I also had my chemistry lab.  Math lecture was the same old thing, just on a different day.  Chemistry lab was pretty hectic though.  I had to miss one day of lab due to family issues earlier in the quarter so I was a lab behind.  Also, I had to finish a lab from the week before.  By the end of the lab, I had finished three labs and was totally caught up.  It ended up working out.  Once lab was over I came back to my house and my roommates had set up a little wrestling pit in our living room.  So for about an hour we held wrestling matches in our living room, ufc style.  I had two matches, the first one I won by choking out one of my roommates, and the second match I won by an arm bar.  All in all it was a pretty successful day.  I also did three sections of math homework and also an entire chapter of engineering.  Also, the Giants ended up winning the World Series.  This wasn't the best part of my day.  The Reds didn't make the world series so I wanted either the Phillies or the Yankees to win it. However, the Rangers and the Giants made it to the World Series so I was rooting for the Rangers.  Unfortunately, the Giants won four games to one and it was a pretty uneventful series.  Oh well,  at least I only have to wait until April 2011 to watch my Reds again.
