Day 13: Wow, They Represented

DC's first eleven OWN Chelsea

So three of the self-proclaimed best team(s) in the world comes to the US, and one wipes aside the gals in LA, and the other twos starters get OWNED by MLS teams. I think that we opened the eyes of some Euros this week. Don't buy it? Check this out then. Jose Mourinho, the Chelsea manager says: "It is the middle of their season so they are sharp, they are fast, they are better than we are."

What?? The cocky Chelsea manager says that?! Oh, it gets better, the AC Milan coach after the Milan-Chicago game, says this: "We were very very lucky to win. It was an honor to be on the same field with that team." I must say, of all the games, my beloved Fire showed best. Even their reserves beat Milan's reserves. That's something there. My god were those wops owned. Soccer is a funny game you see, especially in meaningless friendlies, you can dominate a game and still come up short. Anyway, I was pleased about the way they played against "superior" competition. So, project time is almost up, and so here I go back at it...

(Oh yeah, and the Crew owned Fulham and they got the result on the scoreboard where it matters. English Premier League, pff they got nothing)

Day 17: The Finish Line

I envy this little guy

I can finally see it around the bend, and I can see it in more ways than one. In two and a half weeks(roughly), I will finally rid myself forever of Wilkesboro, North Carolina. I honestly can't say that I've enjoyed the place that much. I took a trip to LA, and to Cinci and that made my summer. However, I now find myself less than a week away from the due date for my MIS 320 project. I have passed the class with what I have done, but I really need a better grade in that class. That's why you'll notice that I'm writing this at an unGodly hour. Just like being back in MIS at school, I'm not sleeping because of their crappy overboard workload. I'll be very glad to be rid of that too. In less than a month, I'll start the journey to the last year of my stay in Tuscaloosa. I'm happy about that. I will be a busy boy from here on out though. I have to finish this project, finish up the book, and finish up a finance class I've been taking distance ed. Then, I'll have school, the LSAT class, and the LSAT itself in October. I have an exit strategy in case I get stuck with a coding job. It involves writing, even if it is contracts, and it would be so much better than having to code every day. So, we'll see what happens. Good luck to my boys in Chicago who play AC Milan, the runners' up in the UEFA (European) Champion's League. The Fire(see my icon, a soccer team if ya don't know) will face off in a match against them on Wednesday at Soldier Field. I think they have a fighting chance, but the fact that their national team players have been away playing in the Gold Cup (Which the US won, and will now be ranked third in the world) will hurt them due to fatigue. Anyway, here's to the finish of what I started this summer. What in the hell was I thinking?

Day 28: Enough of the waiting already!

Today is the day!!!!!

So today is it! I have anticipated this book for a long time. I have so many questions that begged to be answered by this book. I think some of the subtle real-life issues such as race (Lupin) and other things that subtly brush on real topics will come to a head in this book. Quite possibly my favorite author ever, Jo Rowling is as clever a writer as you will ever read. She blends such colorful wit(love the British wit) with insightful, emotional, and significant semblance. She writes elements of such fantasy that contain everything that matters in this life. How she combines and melds the two is absolutely brilliant. Sacrifice, love, loss, and a many other things that I can only hope to accomplish in my novel is portrayed in hers so much more clearly and clever than I can ever aspire to write. I can't wait 'til midnight!

Day 32: Perseverance

Staying the Course

So, after a little encouragement, I got a good bit of writing done today. I suppose that I should comment on the horrible occurrence of what transpired in London. First of all, it is one of my favorite cities (despite the food), and I have friends there. It is a despicable act carried out by witless violence prone idiots. My heart goes out to you, London. So, I'm happily chopping down the task that is my novel. I have a decent chunk written, and I'm very happy with how it's going so far. Hopefully, I'll be done before I have to go back to school. That way, I can start submitting it. Anyway, I was very happy to have it going in full gear. I'll be pausing this weekend again due to my Pottermania, but I am determined now more than ever to get it done. The important thing is to finish what you start I think. So keep it up Jo!

Day 36: My Ten Shags

Well, I thought I'd throw my hat into the ring, despite not getting called out. I deserve a good gossipy, crazy post every now and then, right? The issue is Brad going for big lips (possibly) while he was with Jennifer. It brings up the issue of who's your top ten if you could hook up? So, I gave it a shot. It took quite a while, but here's my list of top hotties:



Shannon Sossaman

The starlet of A Knight's Tale and 40 Days and 40 Nights caught my eye long ago. Her skin tone, and reminiscant fashion in which she reminds me of someone I know makes me go ga ga.



Lacy Chabert

Well, just straight up HOT! She hasn't been in any major part, but that never stopped me from adoring her.



Denise Richards

Despite her marriage to someone that I thought wasn't worth her time, (due in no small part to all the drugs he consumed(s) she is still on my list. I first saw her in starship troopers, and I knew she had a future in Hollywood.



Jessica Alba

What can I say? She tends to date people that would make me not put her on the list, but she is also my type. I can't get over watching her exit stage right, but I sure do enjoy it.



Selma Hayek

Ah, what can I say? I'm a sucker for a latin girl. That's no secret. Mediterranean or latin, and I'm done for. Selma seems to pick some odd roles every now and then, but she has a lot of spunk and a great fashion sense.



Rachel Weisz

This one is all in the eyes. I think that she's a great actress. She picks wonderful roles, portrays them well, and she has a set of beauties that will melt your heart.



Shannon Elizabeth

The loveable russky from American Pie caught everone's eye on screen back in the day. Naughty-a, also has a heart for dogs, and I'm a dog person. She makes the list for her positive outlook and donation to the animal kingdom.



Mandy Moore

This one is a different story. She strikes me with her demeanor. She is the shy nice girl that I really want in life. She is very compassionate and considerate in every single interview that I've seen her in, and she is always very lady like. Damn that Andy Roddick.



Norah Jones

The girl can sing, and she has those dark features and big puppy eyes that will make ya whinny with desire. Her raspy, smokey voice is really cool too.



Kristin Kreuk

I saved the best for last. She's the most beautiful girl on earth as far as celebs go. She is very bright too actually. I've read some of her writings, and it's pretty cool stuff. She's just adorable, and she stars on one of my favorite tv shows, Smallville.


So there they are. Jo can poke fun at my choices, but those are the hollywood starlets that would quickly make me leave my world. I hope they're not the only ones who can do so though.
