Now, I said to myself that I was going to blog before I left for the great Midwest last Friday. That did not happen of course, as all of my three readers will be able to attest, and for that I apologize. I simply ran out of time, which I know is not a very good excuse but it is the best I've got. I was not able to write anything on here until just now because of many obvious reasons. The most obvious was my trip to Huskerland this past weekend. Now, I had stated three things that I was rather curious about in my last post, so I plan on revisiting them during this post. Before I get into that though, I must say that I had one helluva time in Nebraska. Sure driving the thirteen hours apiece there and back and watching Ohio State blow a 21 point 3rd quarter lead was extremely far from enjoyable, but I those are the only two things I have to complain about. The atmosphere was absolutely unheard of, and nearly all the people there were awesome. There were at least five separate instance...

So, as this school week slowly progresses (come on Friday afternoon) I cannot help but find myself wondering what it's going to be like in a few years when I graduate and move on from Ohio State. As much as I may complain with how busy I "always" am with classes, Mount activities and events, and club basketball conditioning/practices as well as the duties that come along with being the Vice President of a student organization it really does not compare to life ahead. What I mean by that is that there really is no reason in the world that I (or any of us college kids) should whine and fuss with our life while we are in college. We're in college for goodness sakes. It's the best time of you life. And if you say high school is/was the best time of you life, well, I have no words for you. You may wonder why I am so anxious for Friday to come, and that is because on that afternoon I will be embarking on a trip that I have never done before. That is to Lincoln, Nebraska...

As I open my laptop to write this blog post during halftime of the Green Bay and Denver football game (Green Bay is ahead 28-17 thanks to Aaron Rodgers' God-like qualities on the field) I can't help but say to myself, "I really never thought things would get this bad." Of course what I am referring to and what you probably already know is that the Buckeyes are just not where they need to be. I know all of the wreckage that came from the tattoo situation really makes things difficult as we try and break in a new coach, quarterback, and everything else but I mean we still are Ohio State. Throughout the summer I continued to be confident and say that we still have guys who can play and we won't take a big step back. Unfortunately, things aren't like that. I mean, it feels like our offense is just stuck in neutral. Freshman Braxton Miller was named the starter after the Miami loss, and after winning last week against lowly Colorado he looked like well, an ...

After not blogging for just under three weeks time, I have finally found some free time in my busy schedule to sit on my comfy new office chair and type some words at you folks. A lot has happened since my last post, which if I am not mistaken occurred on the day of the first game of the 2011 NFL season. Green Bay played that night, and beat New Orleans in very exciting fashion. They have continued their winning ways in route to a 3-0 start behind the arm of my boy Aaron Rodgers. In a word he is phenomenal. Enough about my pro football time for now though, like I said I've got loads to talk about. Before I get into it thought I must apologize for my Mark Titus-esk absence from the blogosphere. I moved back to Columbus on September the 13th, and bummed off of people until that following Sunday when I moved into my spacious apartment. Some of you may be wondering why I came back to Columbus so early, and it is because I volunteered my time to assist with the Mount Leadership Society...

This might very well be the earliest in the day that I have ever posted anything on here, but it is for a good reason. I could not wait to get to bed last night so today would come faster and woke up at around 8 a.m. excited as a little kid on Christmas morning. Or just as excited as I get on Christmas morning. Christmas come early this year because of what happened this past February in the 'House That Jerry Built' when Green Bay won Super Bowl XLV. As soon as that game was over, and pairing it with the whole lockout deal making this season a possible afterthought, I quickly began to count down the days until tonight. It's the first time since the year 2000 that the last two Super Bowl Champions will meet in their season openers, and I couldn't be more excited. Yes, it is going to be great to watch Green Bay lit up and bask in the glory of the city's 13th NFL championship (more than any other franchise I might add) and for all the pregame festivities that are only ...

So it has been nearly a solid week since I've been on here, and one could argue that I've simply been basking in the glory of not having to work at Meijer Distribution Center anymore. This statement would in fact be very true, but in addition to it I would include the fact that I went to Miami this weekend to visit one of my best friends from high school. I certainly had a grand ole time, and miss that guy a whole bunch. It was great that it worked out where I was able to go see him and spend the weekend getting the full Redhawk experience. We went out Saturday night when it was scorching out and humid, which was something that I guess was very unorthodox for this time of year. I say that because the day after as well as Labor Day were quite the contrast. It was rather disheartening when I walked outside and the temperature was in the 60s-I could not help but say "Holy cow it's cold." In reality, it really was not too bad of a temperature I just was not used to it...

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 lit...
