Did you miss me

Salutations everyone. Well I have been especially busy as of late with finals and various other going ons. Let's start with Saturday I suppose. For those who follow me on Twitter you know that I recently attended a LA Galaxy soccer game. To tell you the truth I had more fun than I thought I would. The tailgating area wasn't bad. All the people of the supporter group we were sitting with were awesome. Very knowledgeable and passionate fans. I had fun searching the luxury boxes for "Tomkat" (Beckham's BOFFL) and chanting "Let's go Dodgers" at every chance I got. I thought I would of gotten on everybody's nerves by pointing out the differences between Carson and the Ravine. But at the end of the day they actually one upped me by chants of "It's not baseball". All in all it was a entertaining change of pace. (Sports wise)

Also on that day Clayton made his Major League debut. He didn't get a decision and only gave up one run over 7 and 1/2. Not bad for a twenty year old Texan. Believe you me, that curveball is going to terrorize the league in the coming years Sunday was movie day. (Indy wasn't as good as I hoped) Memorial day found me at the requisite BBQ. Hamburgers and Jim Beam Black label were on the label. Monday found me relaxing with my madre and fretting over the lack of run support our starters have been getting lately. Now, I have two weeks to kill before I start my Physiology class.

Can't wait...

Oh wait almost forgot: found a new Taco spot by my house and yes they have Tripas!!

Now batting...

A common topic among the Bad New Beers (my softball team from last winter)was is if or when (mostly when) we make it to the majors what song would we make our entrance to. Lately Dodger fans have been treated to Nomar adjusting his wristbands to "Lowrider", Martin walking to the box to "Stronger" or "Bad to the Bone" whenever Saito comes in for the save. Over the years my answers have changed with each and every season. Thoughts of The Rev, Devo, Social D, and The Ramones easily came to mind. But I think I got it. This is the song I want blaring through the hills of the Ravine when I step up to the plate:



So what would your entrance theme be?

Be afraid, be very afraid

I had to break away from studying to post this:





Are you as geeked up about this as I am?

Deny On !!!

When you spell Trojan you can't spell it without the letters O and J and when you think of SC you almost always think of their most notorious alumni Orenthal James Simpson. Now we don't need to get into if he did it or not(even though everyone knows that he did!!)but it speaks volumes on your character when you try to release a book explaining how you would have done it. But it doesn't end there. I could examine the cases of Matt Leinhart (deadbeat dad and poster boy for drinking with under aged girls) or Reggie Bush (star tailback who accepted massive amounts of cash) and Mark Sanchez (alleged rapist).

But surprise surprise, another athlete at 'SC has run afoul of the law. OJ Mayo, recent basketball sensation, is being accused of accepting cash and various other gifts while still in college which is a major NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association)rules violation. The most shocking of these allegations is that one of Mayo's contacts purchased gifts and withdrew money on a phony AmEx card that was issued to the National Organization of Sickle Cell Prevention and Awareness Foundation. The organization has never been registered as a charitable trust with the California Attorney General's Office and isn't even recognized in various sickle cell organiztions. Let alone that before he even got to SC this guy had a reputation for being a show boat and pay to play type of guy.

Anyone else see a problem with this?

I should do this more often

It seems the more I bash Dodger fans, the more it inspires the team to rattle off a six game winning streak. I mean I don't want to take all the credit. I'm sure the players and the coaching staff might have something to do with it.
