Interests: I have sold my soul to the Daily Eastern news and I just realized I got ripped off! I love playing my guitars, reading, playing video games, talking. Most of all, I truly enjoy finding new ways to enjoy life....which in Charleston proves to be a challenge from time to time.
Expertise: I can whole-heartedly say that no one knows more about Star Wars, the Chicago Cubs or video games in general than me. And I am fully aware that that makes me look like the biggest dork on the planet. Deal with it.

| Four years! FOUR YEARS, I have awaited the return of the FIFA World Cup! And this is how Team USA repays me?
I know most of you who may read this, the few of you who actually DO
read this, know or care very little about sports, let alone soccer. But I am
going to rant on this one for a minute....
The U.S. entered the World Cup ranked Fifth in the world.....FIFTH IN
THE WORLD! And now they look just as pathetic as they did in 1994 and
1998. Eliminated in the first round?! Not even beating Ghana, barely
tying Italy and being more embarassed by the Czech Republic than me
when my parents caught me looking at naughty images on the
computer.....but that's a different story.
In 2002, the US advanced to the quaterfinals for the first time in
history. It was unprecendented, unexpected and totally awesome. It was
a landmark for American soccer. Finally, the world had to take us
seriously.
Forget for a moment that hardly anyone in America even cares about
soccer, because for those of us who do care, this was to be our
official comeing out party. The 2006 World Cup was supposed to be the
U.S.'s time. It was our time to finally be recognized and vaulted to
the upper echelon of World Soccer superpowers like Brazil, Italy,
Germany, and others. But no. That was not to be out fate.
Brian McBride only attempted 3 shot on goal total and the U.S. finished
dead-f#&%-ing last all offensive categories. Kasey Keller, Landon
Donovan, Eddie Pope...these were to be our futbal saviors. Instead,
Kasey Keller showed his age, Eddie Pope got a red-card and was shown
the door for the last two games and Landon Donovan apparently left his
kleets and shin guards back home and decided actually playing some
soccer wasn't important.
I am disgusted. Four years I awaited my vindication. The actualization of a dream of seeing U.S. Soccer gain recognition.
Maybe being beaten by Ghana (who made it's first appearance in the Cup
EVER...EVER!!!!!!!) won't have as adverse an effect as I fear....but I
have a feeling the U.S. is going to have to go back to the drawing
board all over again.
Too bad....I was really excited to watch World Cup Soccer for the next
few weeks. Thanks for saving me the time, U.S..........bastards.

| Sometimes I feel like The Incredible Hulk sans the super-human strength
and the unnatural growth.....basically I just feel like a big, angry
jerk sometimes.
I can't seem to stop taking out my bad moods, shitty days and pissing
and moaning on other people....specifically on Amy. I overreact and
take for granted how good she is to me, all the nwonderful things she
does for me and how much she loves me.
Maybe I am just subconsciously trying to sabotage this relationship
because I feel like I don't deserve love. Or maybe I just have a lot of
growing up to do. Either way, i better straighten my act up quick or
else she is going to hit the bricks.
I just wish I didn't have such a temper.

| OK, OK.....
So it's been a long ass time since I posted, but that's ok because
nobody reads my Xanga anyway. But, as I am sitting at my desk on my
lunch break, I figure I might as well let y'all (those few of you there
may be reading this) what has been going on in my life for the past
nine months or so.....
1) I am madly in love with Amy Marie Simpson. Last time you heard from
me we were merely a seed sprout of a couple and now it has blossomed
into a full-blown relationship filled with bickering, nagging, loving
and hugging, kisses and sugarplum dreams of marriage dancing in my
head. Although, I doubt I will be popping the question any time
soon...not for a couple years or so. But that doesn't mean I haven't
found the person I want to spend my life with. But I digress.
2) I went from Student Government editor to Verge Editor and now I will
return to school as the Senior City Reporter. Go figure. A townie as
the city reporter in Charleston? No! You're kidding! Nope.....totally
for serious.
3) I am riding out my fourth week at my internship at the Jacksonville
Journal-Courier and it has been interesting to say tthe least. Stories
about fires, World War II survivors and most recently a murder
investigation....yay. Also, some of the people here are really cool
while others seem to have a fuse even shorter than mine.....and you all
know that is hard to do.
4) I will try to post more often but only as often as public demand
dictates....so if anyone wants to hear the shit I have to babble on and
on and on and on about, let me know.
Well, back to work, Kiddies. I will catch y'all on the flip side.

| Ok, so it has been quite a while since my last post, but, what the heck, let's gve it a try.
Not too terribly much to report here. I am currently trying to grab hold of anything that can help me slow the freefall my grades have taken in recent weeks. It isn't that bad, I just find it impossible to motivate myself to do things I don't really find myself interested in (i.e.-school).
On the better side of news, I find myself increasingly happy each and every day with a certain lady. I thoug while I wouldn't be able to find someone who made me happy, but instead it seems as though I have found someone who makes me happier than I have been in a very long time.
I still have no money, but I dont even care because it really doesn't suck to be me right now.
That's all for now. Bye-bye, Kiddies. | | |
| Well, it has been a while indeed, Kiddies, but, like a bad case of Herpes, you can't get rid of me....only hope to keep me away for a while.
As though i need to inform any of you, but life on the farm has been quite nutty lately...bt that's a good thing.
I am now STudent Government Editor of the Daily EAstern News, which is a bit daunting, but I seem to have made it through the first week unscathed. It is weird since I have like, no experience on that beat, but that which does not kill us only makes us stronger.....
I have so much more to ramble about but I promised O'Malley I would go visit before going to bed, so I will try to stop back in and ramble some more before bed time...if not, then I will unload two weeks worth of blogs tomorrow....be prepared for some big time reading, people.
Thill out. | | |
