Squirrel Guts

Well, the weekend is indeed upon us and Mother Nature has served up nearly ideal weather for us to enjoy it. I can't remember the last weekend like this except for perhaps fall quarter.

I have been looking forward to this weekend for numerous reasons, with the main one being the fact that I am excited to spend some time with a few high school friends who are already out of school and coming to visit. One of these visitors was in fact my date to my senior Homecoming where I was for some reason that is still beyond me crowned King. And guess what I was awarded with? A football. Yes. A football. Not just any ordinary football. An NFL football that said 2009 Homecoming King. Yahoo! I mean, I thought Kings wore crowns, but hey I'm not bitter about it.

So anyways, she came down yesterday afternoon and we took to High Street with a few other people that went to my high school who both go here along with my best friend's girlfriend who is still stuck in the whirlwind that is high school. We stopped at the Ohio Union to grab some grub at Sloopy's, which in my opinion is one of my top three places to eat on campus that takes swipes.

One BBQ chicken sandwich, some tasty chips, two halves of two chocolate chip pancakes and one spilled glass of water later we left the Union and headed towards my dorm. That's when I saw something that I've never seen before in my life nor did I think would I ever see.

As we were walking on the North side of College Road just eclipsing the Ohio Union garages, all of a sudden there was a pretty deep THUD. We all snatched our heads over, and much to the delight of two university workers standing outside the back of Hagerty Hall came to realize that a hopeless squirrel had fallen from what was the highest branch of a tree straight down to the pavement. The workers were loving every minute of it, and needless to say I was as well. Who could have expected this? Squirrels were supposed to be graceful and able to do things in trees that only monkeys could possibly replicate.

The squirrel ran off (more like limped off) with its tail between its legs to the base of the tree, contemplating whether or not he should try the tree again. He eventually did and I must say I admire his courage and persistence. Sure, the little guy made a complete fool out of himself but he wasn't scared to try it again (course there also is a possibility that his mental capacity didn't allow him to know what exactly was going on or what happened, but hey. I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt).

My friends and I continued back to my place, enjoying the time together and chuckling about the little determined squirrel. We had a fun night together, as it was eventful yet chill. Can't complain about that at all.

I'm off to enjoy the rest of my weekend, and I trust you will do the same. I know the background is still the best player to ever play basketball and some of you may think I lied about changing it to the portrait of Aaron Rodgers and Clay Matthews, but I assure you it is not my fault. A part of the site is still on hiatus apparently, because I can't make any changes to my blog or profile. It'll come around. Maybe.

P.S. The Cincinnati Reds earned their way into 1st place in the National League Central with a 7-3 victory over those hated St. Louis Cardinals. Just thought you'd like to know.

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...
