Ohio. It's May 16th.

The first thought that went through my mind as I was starting my day with some Lucky Charms and Sportscenter was why does Ohio weather suck so much? Like seriously. It's May 16th. I walked to my first class at 1030 with a jacket and jeans on and needed an umbrella. Needless to say I'm sick of this crap.

I know a few days ago I was hyped-maybe a little too hyped that the weather was actually nice and that I got to go enjoy Oval Beach-and this is Mother Nature bringing me back down from Cloud Nine. But come on man. It's the middle of May for goodness sakes!

I've always been firmly against the idea of global warming. I'm not saying it doesn't exist but I guess just holding on to the slim hope that the weather we have experienced in recent years is a result of some natural cycle the Earth goes through. The longer and longer I live though the more it is becoming a realization. I mean, it honestly feels like that we only have three seasons to enjoy. Hot, humid summers, brutally cold and snowy winters, and enjoyable falls. I love fall (not nearly as much as my mother does) but I'd still like to say that summer is my favorite season for the fact that school is out and there is always lots of fun activities to enjoy.

Summer lately has just been gross though, because of the humidity and constant roasting sun. Maybe it's just because I live and have lived in Ohio my whole entire life and that's just how it goes. Maybe it's global warming. Maybe it's something else. I have no idea, I'm not Jamie Simpson.

The reality of it all is that I'm sick of having to wear pants to class (and in general) and just want a few weeks-ish of lovely weather. I'll start praying for that in addition to the other things I pray for. And hey, I just looked at the weather. Only a 20% chance of rain on Thursday. Yippee.

In other news, how bout them Redlegs? Cincy used a 7 run 6th inning to take the lead over the Chicago Cubs after spotting them four runs prior to the 6th. I must say, it was a whole lot of fun enjoying that in my room and cheering loud enough that my neighbors told me to pipe down. I really hope they keep it up, and maybe my boy Jonny Gomes is going to bust out of his slump with his two-run bomb tonight.

Oh, and many thanks to the fellas on my floor who played intramural hockey and provided my entertainment post-Reds tonight. I loved every minute of it and wouldn't you know? I got some free Oatmeal Creme Pies out of it. Undoubtedly my favorite Little Debbie snack item, they completed the day.

Proud Buckeye who's sick of the weather,

Eric Seger

Those People Who Mr. Goodell Call 'Officials'

Hmph. That about sums about the way I feel about the National Football League at the moment. So does the rest of America, or so it seems. I guess it is a good move on my part that I did not write this post last night around midnight after I saw this happen to my beloved Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football. The fact that this blatantly awful call was on national television amplifies the situation more than people realize. Through the first three weeks of this NFL season, it is no secret that the gentlemen (and lady in one instance) that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell hired to work this season until the regulars get their labor situation figured out with the owners of all 32 franchises in league are just embarrassing. These officials have consistently made bad call after bad call (just YouTube NFL replacement refs bad calls and you will be able to waste a solid amount of time at work or in class shaking your head) and I think we all were just sitting around and waiting f...

My First Legal Drinking Age Post

Hello everybody, and welcome to this, my first blog post as a legal American Drinker. As some of you know, my 21st birthday indeed was yesterday, and even though this was really the only thing I had to drink last night, I still had an awesome day. While I'm assuming all of you will shake your head at me about the Smirnoff Ice, let me explain myself first. I was able to switch shifts with some of my co-workers so I could have Wednesday (my birthday) off. As a result of this, I took advantage of being old enough to drink alcohol on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. I'm told I had a great time, and surely hope that was the case because of the state my body was in yesterday. The day was rough but I suppose that's how you are meant to felt on your 21st birthday. The reasoning for the Smirnoff Ice being one of a few drinks I had yesterday is this: as is tradition at 137 East Frambes Ave. (better known as the "Incinerator") anytime it is someone's birthday and/o...

Another Realization

As I finally have found some time to sit down and write a bit (work is simply sucking my summer away from me), I can't help but mention the man who in a way sort of inspired me to start this blog in the first place, Mark Titus. He, as I'm sure many of you know is the founder of Club Trillion (you can follow his blog if you want-I do) and has christened this week Nut Up or Shut Up Week because he is doing his best to post on his blog once a day. I mention this because since my own personal blog is called the "Daily Segs" one would figure that I would post on here every single day, and for a while I did do that. During spring quarter was when I began this little beauty and vowed to write every day. I have since gotten away from that for a number of reasons. The easiest one to blame it on is the fact that I'm working 40+ hours a week at a distribution center and after leaving there it is either really late or I am exhausted or both. But the main reason (it pains me t...
