Victory

Last night I came back to my home town to watch the football game of our high school, South Adams, against our rival, Adams Central. Long story short we won 21-7. It was a very good game.

Writer's Block

So our next writing assignment for Mr. McArdle is a rhetorical analysis. We are supposed to pick something that can be broken down (which is anything) and then analyze it. What it means, whats its purpose, things like that. My only problem right now is I can't decide what to write about. I'm kinda leaning towards a song cuz that seems like it would be decently easy, but I don't know. Do any of you have any ideas as to what might be easy to write about, like a movie or book or song?

Team Kimbo

Tonight was the season premiere for the reality show "The Ultimate Fighter" on Spike TV. For those of you who don't know what the show is about, it's basically like American Idol for UFC fighters. Mixed Martial Artists from around the country are selected to come be on the show and participate in challenges from week to week and the winner gets to be an actual UFC fighter, and fight against the big dogs in Vegas hotels and crap like that. Each week one coach picks a fighter from each team to fight at the end of the week, whoever loses that fight goes home, and the team of the winner gets to keep control for the next week. Which means that the coach gets to pick who fights. The coaches for this season are Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and "Suga" Rashad Evans, who has only been beaten once in his entire career. The fact that these two absolute males are coaching is a reason to watch the show in its own. Both Rampage and Suga are both major UFC fighters themselves and they hate each other, so I'm predicting that at some point during the season they are gonna end up getting pissed at each other and getting in a fight.  If you have never seen this show then I urge to start watching this season because it will definitely be one of the most exciting seasons in the history of the show. The reason this season is gonna be so exciting is because one of the contestants is the one and only Kimbo Slice. If you don't know who Kimbo Slice is then go to Youtube and type in his name and prepare to be amazed. But he is an underground street fighter who started out as a bodyguard for porn stars and then earned a name for himself by beating the crap out of ppl in backyard fights that were then posted on the internet. Last year he tried to make it in the big leagues in the Elite X championship or whatever its called but he got his salad tossed in the first few seconds, which led people to believe that big bad Kimbo couldn't handle the MMA world. But after a few months off of training I think he's ready to make his big comeback and become a real UFC fighter. 

Rock the Vote

Tonight my floor had the third meeting for voting on floor rules. The first two times there weren't enough people to vote and tonight we had the exact amount of people needed to vote.  However when the meeting was supposed to start we were 7 people short. So everyone in the meeting started calling their roommates and finally we got enough people to vote. So then we proceeded to pass out the ballots and we all filled them out together to make sure that we all had the same thing. So hopefully no one decided to be smart and fill it out differently then everyone. If this happens then no one on my floor will be happy.

Fun weekends!!

So I haven't slept in my dorm the past 3 nights. Thats how you know that you've had a fun weekend. On Thursday I went to my friends house with my friends and listened to some music and watched some T.V. Some people were even playing some ping pong. I had so much fun that night that I just slept in his spare bedroom. Unfortunately I overslept the next morning and missed my first class. Then on friday night my fellow friends and I ventured to an exotic location here in muncie, but I didn't know who owned this house. This house had a small dance club going on in the basement complete with huge speakers, strobe lights and a neon light. They also had some really good home made lemonade for those brave people who got became parched while dancing. That night I got to sleep on the futon in my girlfriends room. That was pretty fun because I got to sleep in until almost 12. Then last night I finally got to the go to that Alice in Chains concert that I have been ranting about in my past blogs. Yes, it was the coolest thing I have ever experienced. But then when I got back one of my friends from high school was visiting all of us down here at Ball State. So me and him went out with our girlfriends, who are roommates, and we went to another house that had a lot of dancing and ping pong. However this house didn't have any homemade lemonade, they just decided to go out and buy a bunch of fruit punch and soda. Then we went on to sleep in the girls room again.

Old People Getting Married??

So my grandma just recently got married after almost 15 years of being a widow. She met her new husband at like a 50 year class reunion or something like that, and they knew each other for about 2 months before they got married. However, that is not the only weird thing about this old fashion hitchin. I only just met her "friend" about 3 weeks before they decided to tie the knot, and I only found out about their plans when I overheard my mom talking about it on the phone. Yet another bizarre thing about this situation is that they decided to elope, which means that no one in the family got to meet our new "grandpa". Their wedding took place at the beginning of July sometime, so this weekend they had a party so that the family could come meet her new husband. They called it a reception but due to the fact that there was no music and there was only a table with snacks, it was more of just an open house. 

Will the Real Layne Staley Please Stand Up

Today Prof. McArdle took us to see the writing center. It was probably the coolest thing I have ever seen...but I digress, class ended up going five minutes long, which I wasn't very happy about because I had an appointment to give blood at 11. Thats right, I saved up to 3 lives today. But trust me the only reason I gave blood was because I received a free ticket to go see Alice In Chains in concert, along with a few other bands you may have heard of like, Hollywood Undead, Hurt, Red, Cavo, Framing Hanley, Sick Puppies, and Cage the Elephant. Its gonna be wicked cool, but I'm the most pumped about Alice In Chains because they are like my favorite band in the entire world. It has literally been my life dream to see them in concert and now it is finally coming true. Even though Layne Staley died way back in like the 90s or something I still think this concert is gonna be wicked awesome because the new guy that they got to replace Mr. Staley sounds just as good, which makes me just as excited for their new album, Black Gives Way to Blue, which is dropping on September 29. If you have never experienced the sounds of Alice In Chains, then I strongly urge you to start now.
