Chicago, Minneapolis, UP....

Well it's been an eventful few weeks. Nothing much that people would find that interesting... I guess. Well last week I got to go to Chicago to visit the National Chiropractic School. I really didn't know how much schooling these people had to go through! While we were down there we got to pull apart part of a cadaver! Well, most of us did, I just kind of sat back and watched. I like dealing with people that are alive... The campus really suprised me. It looked like it hadn't been touched since the late 90's... 1890's that is. Anyways, the trip was a blast. Hanging out with the ATR students was a riot! Some people even suprised me by getting down to some rap songs. Imagine Toll Booth Willy when J drove up and was bumping to Yeah! The trip allowed me to miss an exam in Psychology and a quiz in Anatomy. Always a plus. Which reminds me, I still have to make those up. The next trip within a week was to Minneapolis to watch my friend James get married. Yes... James Prusi is married. That's going to take awhile to get used to. Out of all of us I thought James would be the last to go. But then again, for the longest time I was sure I was going to be the first to go. Back to James though. I'm glad he found a great girl. Janelle seems perfect for him. Still going to be odd heading up to the cities to visit the Prusi's! This trip was also a blast. Lee kept a diary of sorts of the trip. Kind of like the Sportsguy on ESPN.com. There were many hilarious moments, Justin filling up the gatorade bottle, Faking out passerby's in the car, The raptor mysteriously disappearing, Taco Johns fast service for select customers, Justin's farts, and Super Bowl. Now I'm back in the good ol' UP. Seems nice to be back home. I can go on another trip with ATR down to Central this weekend but I'm thinking a quiet weekend at home might be something worth looking into. We'll see how things go this week. I'll make some phone calls and see who'll be around for the trip. Plus I'm broke! This no job thing pretty much sucks. Who knows, maybe I'll free up sometime to get a job. Anyways. I'm off to that dream land. Peace out and keep it real, Live Long.

Flag Football

Soon to be seen on ESPN 2 the NMU Intramural Flag Football League had it's Monday night game. Usually the 2 best teams in the league play the Monday night game, so of course we were involved... by some scheduling glitch. We only had 6 players show up. The first half was a slugfest. Andy "George" Herman "Ruth" was playing out of his mind. If I didn't have 20/20 vision I would have sworn that Brett Favre was out there. David "The Professor" Allain hauled in 2 TD catches of over 50 yards during the first half, while I hauled in one 60 yarder. We were down by 8 points at the half and receiving the ball. In the 2nd half our "Dogs" apparently were taken away to help with the Deion Sanders comeback. So we were held scoreless. If we only had 7 guys... it woulda been a lot closer. Before the game I helped out a fellow flag football player by taping his ankle. He proceeded to show his appreciation towards me by clocking me in the head, throat, stomach and leg throughout the game. He's one of those players like Rodney Harrison, he should be fined probably half of the time he steps foot on the field. He capped the game off by scoring and saying, "You guys have nothing on me!" Congratulations to Mr. Dumb Ass, his team of 10 beat our team of 6. At the end of the game I intercepted one of his passes, I took the high road though, I shoulda said a few comments, of which I already had figured out. Instead I just shut my trap. Hopefully we see this team again!

All streaks must come to an end....

Yes, today was one small step forward for Lee and one giant step backwards for myself. At the end of the 3rd Quarter Lee was beating me 24-0 in Madden 2005. My dominance over Lee finally ended with a solid 24-12 beat down. Indianapolis gave Lee the key to it's city following the game, while Baltimore had riots due to the Ravens first year missing the Super Bowl. Under extreme pressure from the fans I was contemplating relinquishing my duties as GM until I watched Sportscenter and saw the Colts comments on the Budweiser Hot Seat. They called my moves questionable and said a stutterer couldn't talk any good players into coming to the team, due to the fact that players never knew how many zero's I was trying to add to their contract. Well now I'm on a mission. Next year we'll be back, and the town will renew it's faith in me. Super Bowl or bust in 2008!
