so just when you were learning to get used to writing "2005" instead of "2004," WAM-O. it's time to go back to school.
for those of you who faithfully visit this blog on a daily basis, i'm sorry. i've been on a lengthy writer's block, but hopefully it'll pass and i'll post on this thing more consistently.
well i don't really have a real topic for this post, so please try to keep up with my wandering mind.
classes have been okay so far. i'm taking 15 hours this semester. accounting, statistics, history, chinese, and weight training. actually, i am now a TA for weight training. so for any of those burning questions you have about improving your body, you can ask me.. and then i can ask the appropriate people.
yesterday after church, i went to hooters for the first time in my life. we downed 100 wings! and they were deeeelicious. hey, maybe people really do go to hooters for the wings.. just like people go to new orleans hornets games to see them win.
the new england patriots slaughtered the pittsburgh steelers yesterday in the NFC championship game. it's gonna be their 3rd appearance in the Superbowl in the past 4 years! (for those of you football noobs out there, that is a big accomplishment.) even though i hate the patriots, i gotta give them the props they deserve. too bad they're so freakin' boring to watch. they're like the san antonio spurs of the NFL. blech.
speaking of pro sports, the houston rockets signed 38-year-old rod strickland to join the "oldest team in the NBA." um, remind me again why we need to bring a 38-year-old point guard out of retirement? i thought the rockets wanted to RUN more? i can't wait to see rod strickland, david wesley, jon barry, clarence weatherspoon, and dikembe mutombo on the floor all at the same time. that's a lineup with a grand average age of almost 36 years. yikes.
i mean, if you're gonna bring back retired players, bring patrick ewing off of the rockets bench and into the game to grab some much-needed rebounds. then we can waive maurice taylor, or just make him yao ming's personal coach, since that is already pretty much a BS job position. not to mention taylor is the worst player in the NBA.
and that of course brings me over to houston's baseball team, the astros. after a "successful" season in which we missed the world series by a single game, we go on to lose our all-star center fielder, carlos beltran, to the mets and our starting 2nd baseman, jeff kent, to the dodgers. then we sign 42-year-old roger clemens to a record-high $18 million one year contract. after that, we sign 44-year-old john franco. WHAT IS GOING ON?!
in other news, david park and i have started a new tradition of playing a game of monkeyball2 every day. the winner is crowned "monkeyball champion." the only rules are:
1) if the monkeyball champion asks you "who is the monkeyball champion," you must respond with his/her name no matter what the circumstances
2) if the reigning monkeyball champion is challenged on a particular day, and he/she refuses to play, then his/her title is taken away
thanks to lina, we now have a b-e-a-utiful monkeyball champion trophy.
so if you think you got what it takes, just bring it. so far david and i have been the only monkeyball champions in the history of the sport.
anyhow, it's time to study. ttyl! kit! buh bye! laterz!
