The End Of The World…..As We Know It?

For all of my fans out there, both of you, It is glaringly obvious that I am not good at this blogging thing. Actually, let me correct myself. I am good at blogging, amazing really, I am just not good at updating. I mean I am no Mr. Allain, but I think I can hold my own. So, enough of the formalities, let’s get to the meat, it’s lean, organic, free-range, and mad cow free…..maybe. Let us see where my ramblings and such take us tonight.

I should be studying for my finals right now but to be real honest I do not want to. I will, sooner or later. Well probably sooner, my two toughest exams are tomorrow. I am sure that I will get to the studying thing tonight. I do have the privilege of having above average grades in these classes so that has released me of any pressure that these exams may have brought to my life. I can fail both of them and still have high B’s in the classes. That is a great place to be. See, studying does pay off! I always wondered why people fussed about homework and tests, now I know. Seriously, this has been an eye opening experience in my “academic” journey. Do well on the homework, labs, tests, and papers and you have this entire world of “no pressure” exams. It is an amazing feeling. When I was in high school and the my brief encounter with junior college, I never had that privilege. As a matter of fact, my final exams formerly dictated whether I passed the class, by the skin of my teeth, or failed miserably. Studying, what a concept! Tomorrow will be a stress free day for me regarding education and the intellect. The end of the world as I have known it for the last semester. I promise not too get comfortable. For on the morrow’s eve a new semester lurks it’s formidable head! One that I shall displace from it’s neck!(I began writing this on Monday…Let me update you. I did really well on my exams. I received and 85 on my lifelong learning class giving me an A- for the class. I got a 100 on my Hist. 1302 exam giving me a 98/A+ in the class. I am not sure what grade I received on my Hist. 1301 exam, however I ended up with a B+ for the semester. Last but not least I ended my COSC 1301, intro to computers, with a strong B-. Overall I am happy with my first semester.)

In regards to formidable opponents. (<– Did you enjoy that transition? Thanks to the M.L.A. handbook!) This is a note to Gator Country. I am not underestimating your strength as a football team. I believe that you have a good team. I believe that you could beat The Ohio State University. I am not on the “you are underdogs bandwagon.” However, I will say this. The SEC is not the best league in college. Note too all SEC fans. Just because you can’t see the Big 10 because your aluminum foil laden T.V. antenna can’t pick up reception in the “hollar,” doesn’t mean they are not a good conference. I mean come on. Early in the season Auburn was kicking booty until…..the SEC Powerhouse, Vanderbilt, came to town and gave them a beating. Vanderwho? And who does Florida’s only loss come from? Auburn. You lost to a 6-2 in conference schedule. You definitely deserve to be in the hunt for the national championship hunt. Seriously you do not deserve to be there. Even if you beat the Buckeyes, it proves nothing. The national championship game was played on Nov. 18th between The Ohio State Buckeyes and the wretched team up north. If anyone deserves to play for the N.C. it is the maize and blue. Ranked number two, they lost to number one by three points. Isn’t that what the number two team is supposed to do? I am a huge hater of the wolverines, but they got jacked. I understand why they wouldn’t be able to play in the N.C. because of their blemished record, however, explain to me why Boise State is not in the game? B.C.S. you deserve coal in your stocking. You have been a very naughty, politically driven, biased, ratings system. Shame on you!

ON to other things:

Christmas. It is the hap, happiest time of the year. At least it is supposed to be. I believe it will be. I am stuffing my family and I into a vehicle to begin our amazing race to lovely Ohio. Our first pit-stop is scheduled to come in the 500th mile of the race. We are stopping in lovely Springfield, MO. We sold our house, thank you Jesus, and our closing is on Tuesday. Shall be a lovely time to bury the memories of “Jobs Gone Wild.” Nothing like selling a $125,000 souvenir from a 5 week vacation eh? Depending on how well our pit crew performs, we should finish the second half of our race in good ole Ohio. You need to remember that I have a wife who is great with child, and a two year old. If things go well we should make it in two days. If things go…..not so well…we should arrive by Easter. Either way, we will be excited to see our friends and family.

To all of my man friends remember our daily pledge…(stolen from the Red Green Show) “I am a man, I can change, If I have too, I guess.” Merry Christmas men. Here is to last minute shopping, eating till you throw up, and watching cheesy Christman movies to please the wife! Too all a good Christmas and too all a good night!
