Updates

Hello all, sorry I have not updated in a while. Poker has been pretty gay and the downswing has approached 13k. Meh, I think this might be the worse money wise but I've had worse in terms of number of buyins. It's to be expected though, especially since the large chunk of it is in 2/4PLO. In such a variance laid game losing those 55/45s and vice versa is going to happen.

College football season is in full swing. tOSU got totally crushed, what an embarressment. Some schools bring their conference pride but tOSU just gets destroyed for every big game. I don't think Beanie would have made much of a difference with the way their lines broke. UF is looking sharp, we won a hard fought battle against UMiami. Although UM didn't have any offense their D is very good (and should be better in the future). We have UTenn this week at their place which should be fun. I expect a victory though they aren't as bad as everyone thinks. LSU/Au play this week as well, I'm rooting for the mad hatter and LSU to win simply for strength of schedule (when we play them later). Should be a really hard fought battle like last year. I bought a ticket to Jacksonville for Oct 31st for when we play UGA. I'm so pumped.

We also won our first flag football game. We've been practicing pretty hard and tonight was a nice showing of our hard work in practice. We started down 6 pretty early due to a deep ball. We made some adjustments, the biggest one being rushing only one outright and the other guarding the flat/spying the QB. All others played man (their offense was very strange, with no line and just 5 wide every time).

As far as offense, our plays didn't do a ton. We had alot of success against their pathetic zone with the line releasing. We are going to have more issues though when opposing teams have decent pass rushes against us. Might have to try more QB draws and option plays. It eventually got so bad on their end that our rushing one just totally fucked them up and weren't able to make any good decisions. Our team had 3 picks (I had a deep one after my teammate deflected it up in the air). Our tackling was pretty solid overall and we didn't have too many missed opportunities. We scored with a variety of ways, our QB rushed, some deep balls, quick outs. Can we improve? sure. But overall I was pretty happy with our performance.

UNNATURAL BITTERNESS-


We don't play for another two weeks. Have to prepare.

In other news I'm pretty sure that I'm staying a full 5 years hilariously enough. I haven't even applied for the teachers college, something I should have done 2 years ago. Pathetic. Whatever, I don't mind staying in a little longer. Though I think things will be quite depressing once all my friends leave for grander things. Currently doing pretty poorly in school, it might be a product of the scheduling (class pretty much only twice a week). Latin civs is a fucking joke, our teacher is in extreme denial on the reality of how badly the Aztecs/Incas got assraped. Also my multicultural class is lame too.

I also am about to have my DC video approved (I think?). The first one had some sound and technical problems. Once I get it approved terp and I are going to go hard on the project. I was pretty happy with this video I did, got into some interesting spots. I plan on heading home this weekend, my friends and I are planning a casino trip. Should be hilarious to see the apes in real life...what a treat. I plan on getting back into poker within the next few days, I havent played in quite some time. Meh.

I've been looking at my Europe trip pictures and realized today how much I really miss that place. It's a different outlook on life, everyone there doesn't really care as much on business or efficiency. The U.S. is different, everyone is doing something and there are always objectives to fill. I'd like to just drop out and take a one way ticket to Asia or Europe, see where it takes me. Family would probably spaz and the chances of me doing this are very slim but it's still present on my mind. Just grind out another year I guess.
