So yeah.

So a lot of people are doing this blog thing. From what I can tell they like to angst a LOT about problems they don't really have and talk about they're life as if they were the center and most important factor of the universe. So I figured, hey! That sounds like it's for me! If they can do it why can't I? Who knows, maybe this won't crash and burn like so many other things in my life. See I'm angsting already! I can do this!

So anyways, here's a random thought. If someone were to document the life of a University student closely, I think public outrage would suffice to stop the horror. Sleep deprivation is a norm now. Which is odd. Because I never used to consider it deprivation until I wasn't doing it on a voluntary basis. My roommate Ben, I'm amazed he's still alive. How he expected to live in an apartment, without a residence meal plan (granted his college didn't have anything close to what you might call cuisine but still it was nutritious) and his eating habits I don't know. The horrible debillitating disease he usually gets every fall has been a lot shorter and less brutal then the other two years though. I think I'll take credit for that since every now and then I cook and he actually eats a fruit. And no noodles, rice, and off the street chinese food do not count as fruit. I'm trying to convince him he should get vitamins but so far not so much luck. A conversation actually ran like this:

Ben: Bah! Vitamins are the work of Satan!
Jae: Ben, just shut up and stop dying already!

As you can see it could take a while.

Now, how 'bout them Red Sox? That is probably the most gutsy team I have ever witnessed play. Those guys are incredable. What they just did is amazing. I'm still pinching myself to see if I'm in a dream. My step-father Chip was in a state of numb shock. My brother when I spoke to him wasn't his usual articulate self either. They're expecting between 5 and 8 million people in Boston for the parade this coming Saturday. Red Sox Nation finally rejoices. And the funniest thing is, a lot of it has to do with just losing all the baggage that every fan carried with them, over generations, and not every having to hear about the curse from a NYY fan again. The Sox are now like any other team in baseball, and that's a great feeling. I don't want to forget about what the Patriots are doing right now either. 21 games straight. 6-0. That's insane. The fact that they're still going this strong, this deep is nuts and they just beat the Jets which was the only other team at the time that was 5-0. Damn. Even the Revs with Heaps leading the charge are fighting beyond my wildest expectations and are about to play Columbus in after winning the first game of the playoffs. All we need now is the NHL strike to end and the Bruins to win the cup. To bad it's not Lacrosse season or I'd rant about them too. And I don't really care about basketball, sorry Celtics.

So a lot of people when they write these things tend to type whatever song they happen to be listening to when they finish it. I kinda like that idea. I've always found it interesting to look into a snapshot of time and know what someone was doing or experiencing at that moment of their life. Probably why I'm a history major. We get so shafted by the way. I need ten credits for the major. My friend Maria who's a classics major needs six. SIX! My minors are four credits apiece! Needless to say I get far fewer choices in branching out and broadening my horizens then she does. I'd love to take geography but no. I'll be the first to say though that I signed up for it though.
