Just posting to see if anyone still gets on Xanga. If you do, say hi.

The Ramblings

Its about that time. I got a few things on my mind, so lets get to it

- First off, its OSU-Michigan week. Now there's been a big buildup for this game, and really its all stupid. OSU is way better than Michigan. Honestly they should cream the Wolverines. My prediction: OSU 38, Michigan 24

- I've had some crazy dreams lately. Crazy dreams freak me out.

- Having lunch with Sam Taylor yesterday was the highlight of my day.

- I hope I have not lost my ping pong skills. That would stink. Then I'd probably get beat by the legendary Jim Bates. Too bad he's not legendary in ping-pong, or cornhole for that matter.

- I haven't seen the Loon in awhile. He must be having one of those panic attacks from going out in a crowd.

- I am happy for Thanksgiving next week, and Turkey Bowl V the day after.

Ok I am out. Take care and God Bless

Football Challenge

This was quite possibly one of the best gatherings of all time. Maybe because I got to stay until Monday. Let's point out some fun stuff:

Friday:

- Picking Sarah up at the airport and hanging with her for a lot of the weekend
- Made a Panera run with Sarah before heading to the gym. Always a good time.
- Playing some B-ball and some V-ball at the gym
- Getting to see some familiar faces, as well as new ones
- Getting to stay at the Livermore's is always a blast

Saturday:

- One of the best breakfast's of my life, thanks to Aunt Ev
- Classes by Ryan Mutter were so awesome. There's always so much talk about the football, but really, we shouldn't overshadow what we're taught
- Getting rocked at some football. Getting the worst underachiever award. And having the best team ever
- While playing QB, I ran over Ashley Therien, who was on my team. She enjoyed it, so its ok.
- A great devotion by James Dill. I was moved, for sure
- Party at the Amis house

Sunday:

- The usual meeting and sunday school at Livonia (be like an ant, and not like a leech)
- Seeing Andrew Livermore's place of employment
- Marky's party, and the ensuing soccer game in freezing rain
- Shawn Vandenburg straightening his hair
- Going to Uno's for about 10 minutes
- Greggy's house for the Tigers game was great. Detroit is so ghetto.
- Hangin with Leah, and her telling me all these awesome stories. Like how the seeds in apples are dormant and how apples come from a factory, or something.
- Watching The Office when I got back, and telling the group some mischievous lies about Billy and Sarah and having them believe me.

Ok so this weekend was a blast. There was not one bad thing about it. Not at all. Except for leaving. That is always the worst part. I'm off all. Take care and God Bless.

I don't have much to say today. Just a few things going on...

- I played 18 yesterday. I shot a 85. I'm pretty pleased with that.

- I'm EXTREMELY excited for the weekend. It will be a good time.

- I can't believe its almost November. That's insane.

That's all I can think of for now. And oh yeah, just for the heck of it, Laurie McKay is soft. I will destroy her this weekend. PEACE
