I love pumpkin pie

As I sit here looking at my computer screen trying to figure out what to talk about on this, the final day of the month of August, I heard something that I have not witnessed in a morning in quite some time-rain.

The few rain showers that graced the Miami Valley today were nothing gargantuan by any means, but because this summer has been so hot and dry and I honestly cannot remember the last time it rained in the morning time I was pretty pumped. As I went outside to go for a morning run I noticed how it was rather overcast and extremely cool. I loved the cool part of it, especially last night because it made for a great sleeping atmosphere. Nothing better than snuggling up under your covers for a solid nap.

Yesterday was my final day off during a work week for the summer, and I spent it trekking up north and back multiple times. Dad wanted to get my mother's car new brakes so we took it to her cousin's house because he has done that type of work for us before. He lives literally two minutes down the road from my Grandpa, so I seized this opportunity to go see him a last time before I go back to school (in case I don't make it up that way again) as well as my Grandma who also lives very close. Then after driving back to Tipp City to get Dad a vehicle we drove back to Versailles to see my third adopted Grandmother who does nothing but spoil me. She is the true Grandma of one of my best friends growing up, and I have known her for as long as I can remember. Her traditional spoiling method regarding me is to bake me a pumpkin pie (my favorite) for my birthday gift. I hadn't seen her for a long time, and after heading up that way for a family outing a few weeks ago and running into her she told me she was upset I did not alert her that I would be up that way because she had no pie prepared. So, I made it known that I would be in V-town yesterday and stopped in to see her for a half hour or so and wouldn't you know it? There were TWO pies sitting on her counter waiting for me. I had a piece last night of one and let me tell you, it was delicious. I'm freezing the other in preparation for my return to school. Will be a wonderful going away present.

After leaving her place I headed down to Dayton to meet up with my own mother and visit my Godfather at Good Sam Hospital. He is doing quite fine, and I'm not going to go in to detail about why he is there out of privacy for my family. After our visit Mom treated me to Milano's (a Dayton tradition who has in my opinion the best BBQ chicken pizza on the planet) where I seemingly became a glutton for an hours time and ate way too much food. We got too much food to begin with, so naturally brought it home and I can't wait to feast on my BBQ chicken pizza tonight at work. Will be something nice to look forward to.

In the sporting world Miami (FL) is well, to put it simply screwed. What I think it just absolutely hilarious about this whole situation is how it seems like everyone in the media and on ESPN aren't making as big of a deal about it as it did Ohio State. I mean, I am not denying how bad OSU's problems are/were regarding Pryor or Tressel but come on people. After hearing about all the things that Nevin Shapiro provided various Hurricane players I would think that they would go ballistic. Some of those things are disgusting and just pathetic that a bunch of college guys got that from someone without doing nothing more than asking for it. I guess that is why they get paid the big bucks though and I'm nothing more than a sophomore in college trying to become one in the same as them regarding the media.

At least multiple players have been suspended just like at Ohio State and Miami will be in a continued period of mediocrity this season. I just cannot wait to see what Ohio State does to them come week three. Go Buckeyes.

In other news the Reds are at the halfway point of a four game series with the Philadelphia Phillies. Roy Halladay pitched last night for the Phils, and for you baseball fanatics out there you know that spells trouble for the Reds. The man is just amazing. Philly won 9-0 and Halladay had a bases clearing double that made it 6-0. Ryan Howard also homered twice so it's safe to say that they owned the Reds last night. If they don't win the World Series, I'm not afraid that to say that that is quite pathetic for them given their lineup and the league of arms they have in their rotation.

I head off to my third to last day of work today. Pray that I don't just lose it and can make it through this final week.

Proud Buckeye and Sports Enthusiast,

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...
