Rangers Beat Yankees!
Huge win by the Rangers. They dominated the entire series. Game one was a fluke. The only run by the yankees in game 6 was a fluke. Half of what they got away with was a fluke. But the Rangers played solid. They played like a team, went out there, and worked together, one at a time. The pitcher put in some help, the outfielder, the manager washington, the guy who got walked and the guy who RBIed him in. everyone worked in perfect unison. If you know anything about me you know I hate baseball. But if you know me you know I love perfect teamwork and I love Texas, and so the Rangers go hand in hand. In Ann Arbor, so mnay of my friends are from New York and even more are Yankee Fans. Well I am glad we gave that money paid 40 penants and buy your way to the world series a woopin, because the hard workin man´s team just got its first penant and its first shot to the World Series!
Go Texas! Go Rangers!

Reactions to the Decision
In case yall missed the biggest moment in history, here you can replay the hour drama in about 3 minutes:
Now there have been a lot of reactions, from pumping fists and cheering to burning jerseys and giving impossible guarentees. But what is important is that this inspired for Steve Carell to give his decision...and here I have it for you in all its glory...
and what did the real King have to say about all this? Its pretty funny, really, kinda like a slap in the face. Hes like, "I dont now what kids do now, but back in the day when I played, we liked to compete. Not like this BS staked teams of today. What the corn." Exactly what he said. Listen for yourself...

Independence weekend and a rocket bike

This saturday is independence day, so when I went to work at the ticket office pretty much everything for friday and saturday was sold out. Kinda nice. Worked ont he window all day and then the game was pretty packed. Tonight was 80s night so I used papa´s tennis stuff and looked like a doof, and of course, I was stuck at prise wheel all night, and that sucked. Hahaha. I knew that the night we had to dress up and that I would be only one of the few to dress up, I would be stuck behind prise wheel...it happens
Saturday was busy again. Worked all day at the ticket office. Serina Williams beat her older sister in two sets. I was hoping that it would havegone longer and that Venus would ahve won, but whatever. THe next post will be on Wimbleton Tonight was the 4th of July game, and we have been sold out of this game for about 2 weeks. I had to teel so many people that all we had left were the general admission berm seats, and dang did we sell a lot of them! My family even came,a nd that was the first time all year that they come to a game together. The game was packed but it was fun. Kind of relaxing really. We lost the game but that was fine, because the ending was the best part. At 9:30pm, when we were at the top of the 9th inning, the city fireworks start going off on the other side of the bridge. The launch them there by the USS Lexington, a retired air craft carrier. So they had to stop play on the firld because of the distraction to the players. The fireworks were allright, same old lame corpus stuff: slow, big and boring. THen the game ended and I went downt o the bleachers to watch these ones. And then they go off, and they were so much better! So so so much better, dang it was cool! I love our fireworks; I jsut stair up at amazment, I love it! And then the flocks of people left and there was so much traffic outiside after I got out, well, I had to sit around for half an hour before I was able to take off and I was still bumper to bumper traffic on my bike for another 20 minutes before I was free again. What a night. I am still puzzled why we celebrate July the 4th as Independence day, as the Declaration of Independence was ssigned the 2nd. Hmmm. Anyhow, it feel on a Saturday this year and it worked out perfectly. Maybe they should switch it to the 2nd next year like it should be and it would be on a Friday. Pretty good idea, eh?

LETS HAVE SOME FUN
Ok, people, lets not get so serious all the time. Lets go for some news. Anyone ever wanted a sweat bike, like a motorcycle? Like my motorcycle? What about a bike that was fast, like a real bicycle but that just had like a motor on it, say, like Edy´s CC MotoBike? What about something more misterious, like a rocket, like something that could launch you into oblivion?...
...well, now you can, this the new Jet Bike that just became avaliable for a cool $1200, and you know thats cool considering how cool it will make you feel when you launch by cars at extrodinary speeds while being on the sidewalk. Not talking about how cool it would be to drive up to that next party with two giant thrusters on either side of your weels...now all you need is a second seat to cary that girl with you and your all set!

Basketball and Biking Glory
Well, June looks like an awesome month. I am super exited. I went to work from 9-5 Monday and then went to basketball camp at ACA. Man, all those kids need so much work on all the fundamentals its not even funny. Its liek starting from Zero, and although I have learned a lot with how to start teaching, I have not learned everything. I had to keep working on the kids with their shooting over and over again and it was nuts. Its pretty lame and you cant get much lower, but I have to learn and this gives me great hand on experience as its only me and Coach Long here. Tuesday was much better than Monday. The kids new the drills we were doing and all of them were night and day difference! Their dribbling is so much improved it is amazing! YOu would never have thouht they had just started to learn to dribble! Over all it was a really fun camp for me to teach in. I cant wait to do the one in Michigan.
Another thing is that the Moody/Callalen game was just announced this Monday morning to be played at Whataburger field so I had non-stop calls all day asking about it. I hope it doesnt hurt my riding lessons. Last Thursday I regristered at www.coastalcycleacademy.com to taking the riding courses held there at Whataburger field from June5-7, Friday through Sunday to get taught on how to ride a bike safelty and to not have to take the riding part of my liscence exam. And I am going to take it with Austin Arce. So yea, I will be packed, from Monday to Sunday, all fun in the sun. Loaded with Basketball and Bikes, it cant get much better than that...
Thursday was a nutty day. Got to Whataburger field at 8:30am. From 9-5 I sold tickets non-stop, literally non-stop. I sold 2,211 tickets and made over $10,200 dollars myself. Overall we sold over 17,000 tickets in one day with 5 of us working and over $54,000 in cash alone. Dang. We sold out of the thursday game at 1:58pm. We sold out of Friday´s game at 6:40pm. For the record, I was the only one who called that both games would be sold out. no one else beleived and and thus told people we would not soell out. But we did and they were surprised and people were pissed, but i expected it haha. I was exaustd.

Friday I had my first motorcycle class and that was really cool. At first it felt really guetto with all the poeple in it but then it felt good. Arce was super pumped. I was super pumped. Today we wernt from 6-9:30pm int he classroom only learning about the bike and correct procedured and pretty much the basics. Covered 3/5ths of the book. It was exciting!
Saturday I was soo pumped! I staed the night at Arce´s house and got up at 6:30. We left at 6:45. You can tell how excited Austin is at getting up that early.
We drove to the gass station there by the park to grab some grub and energy drinks and went to the parking lot. I was so exited to see all them bikes out! I got this funny helmet and with my shades I looked like a cop haha.


I got the cool black biek that was the only black bike in my section.
Austin in the Silver Bike

Tehre were two sections and we had austin, me and big Dan which was really cool and this dude from california who was older and owned a sweet cruser and another older guy who had a nice harley and was also very nice. And we had this girl who was terrible at riding bikes and I have no idea why she would come out here. She just seems out of place. The epidemy of a coprus christi hispanic lady. Terrible. But my groupw as aweosme and everyone had silver bikes but me and apparently the black bike had an easier time changing gears than the silver. And I did really good. Austin semi dropped his like 2 times and stalled all the time. I stalled once. The girl dropped it like 3 times. But I kicked butt and it was sweet. Confidence, baby, thats all it takes.






We rode all types of test manuvers and it was really good. I was getting really comfortable ont hat thing. Then we had a break and me and Asutin and another random dude went to this pizza buffet place by A&M Corpus. We got back to the classroom 10 minutes late and exausted and sunburned...well, jsut me on that last one. We finished up the book and after me telling people, we took the writtene xam and I would have made 100 if I didnt switch the definition of T-CLOCS and some over FLICS or something. Pfff. So yea, 48/50 thus 96%. Pretty good. Then me and Arce left super tired but super exited. I got back to my place and chilled and slept like a baby.
Sunday morning Austin woke me up at 6:03am and then I drove to pick him up at 6:40 and we heard Wendle and Yakin to the place. We got here early, jsut us and the instructors. Then on the bikes and after a warm up that was very necessary, I took off and it was so much fun. We did some more tests. The box figure 8 was really tough for me. Had to remember to have a sharp head turn and to turn the handles AND lean AND counterballance. AND to take my time fully engaged in the first gear. Pretty tough but I was glad I made it without dropping. Also had the racing line turn and swerve and stopping fast and stopping in a turn and going over objects ect.




But in the end of our excersises, the cool older man who had a harly stopped after one of the last ones and stopped next to our lady and then his foot got caught on the only 500 that was in our section and in his attempt to get his left foot uncaught, he leaned to his left and since he was trying to jump off, his leg got caught in an ugly manner and that heavy bike broke his leg good. His tibia was puncturing his skin. Nasty. Sucks hard cour. He probobly wont ride that harly of his for 2 years. Dang that sucks. So the firetruck and the ambulance came took him for good. His name was Paul I think. Lord bless him.
Then we finished up the remander and then took the test. i was really confident, I admit. The first 2 were the box figure 8 and the swerve. The figure 8 I did weel but not as well as one of my practice ones because my head was not turned all the way which I needed to do. But I coudlnt see the line I was supposed to stay within very well adn one of them was a bit round so I missed 5 points on that. The thurd test was the hard stop. THe girl was right behind me...big Dan, me and then her 123. But when she stopped after the swerve she killed the bike after not doing a complete stop. Then moving it she killed it again. Then she dropped it. I had to pick it up for her so that she could get back on. THen She couldnt start it. Then she killed it again. I have no idea how she passed. She should have failed. She should have causet eh rules say if you drop, you fail. Heck, she even scored higher than me, goodness gracious. Shows again how tests mean nothing. Or very little. The last tet was the fast racing line turn and I couldnt see the blue line but since I was afraid of getting too wide I eased off on the 2nd gear a little, never let go of the trottle but eased just a bit and I got 6 points off for that. Pfff. My two errors were due to lines I could not see. And so I missed 11 points. Yes, I got an 89, a freakin 89. I was very upset. Very upset. She said I did good but I said not good enough. The frekain lines. She said herself they were hard to see,a dn if they are hard to see for her, I cant see them Yo! I told Austin he did better than me on the test. He was like naw, I couldnt ahve done better. But then he got a 92. And he began to brag aout it in my face hard core and rub it in. Pff,f the freaki lady got a 92 too as well. Garbage. But whatever, I did the best within my abilities and that is all that maters.

Fun Times
Well, after much work on my phone continuously and over and over again, I figured out the only solution. Apparently my macbook had a new driver that would not allow my iphone to go into hack mode. So I installed the previous one which let it get into that mode. Also, iTunes was not cooperating with me for the past month and wouldnt let me get by not having an activated sim card. I almost wanted to blast the darn thing. So once I got the driver, I had to get something that would not use iTunes, and thus used another program called QuickPwn and bingo, it worked like a charm! Like super quick! Check out these pics. My phone is back! My Life is Back! Woohoo!!!



We had some fun with basketball as well. My manager buddies are big fans of my "mysteriosu blog" and so they wanted to get on it. Here is Manny getting interviewed by fellow sophmore player Kevin Grady.
Here is the half beard I promised to bring to practice once Man Month was over. The funny thing was that almost no one noticed it. Thats the kind of effect I have on people: even when looking my worst, people still dont notice and think Im good lookin. Eh....
Here I am with Steve, an legendary senior manager that came from the maize rage, and Jon on the left, my fellow sophmore manager. Here we are in the locker room at half time while watching our Wolverines at Work. Go Blue!
Here I am after my cut and shave. This is Andrew, another Senior Manager that joined this season. What is even cooler is that he became a scout player for the scout team. Kinda cool, eh? He is a good shooter; Pinedo Approved.

Plus, what do you think of A-Rod admitting to taking steroids? Too bad for him, going under the pressure with all those millions to take the juice. You can read more about it here.

Last Week of Summer!
Guys, I am almost done. A few more days and I am good to go. I have the last home strech of games lasting 7 games. I was fortunate enough to go up to Round Rock the 18th, but starting the 20th through the 25rd, I have a game every day. I will have the 26th, a tuesday to finish up packing, and I leave the 27th Like at 11 am. I will be staying with my God Mother, Mirriam Torrez up in Ann Arbor and my schedualed move in is the 29th, a friday. The 20th is going to be an awesome day because it is the opening football game versus Utah. I had no idea they played football up there, but then again, that is what we said about Appalacian St. Last year.
The week was a long week of games. Unfortunately, car problems didnt help either. I got a nail in my right rear tire on tuesday. I am glad this happened while going to the gym and not while driving my 800 miles around Texas. Then, after it took an hour and a half at the tire store, I had a problem with the ignition/key thingy. It wouldnt turn off. I turned it once, it got stuck, and the key came out, but the engine never stopped. So I had to leave the cool man car running and locked while I did errands at several places. I took it to Pro Drive, the place we get out car fixed by our good friedn Juan, and he took it in. So the next few days at the ball park, I either had to get dropped off and picked up or I had to take the suburban. So it sucked. Big time. Last week here and no car. Bummer.
The last week went by fast. Along with the baseball games and no car, things flew. But my dad did let me drive with him on his porche one day, and it was awesome. Besides that, I cant wait to get out of here. Its hot as hell and the fact that it rained doesnt help the humidity level at all, haha. So next time, Michigan!!!

ROAD TRIP!!!
Well, after a long debate and after trying to convince my parents that the necessity of going to a close friend´s wedding was a great idea but that I didnt have to go, I was finally set free. I had to go to Round Rock, the triple A affiliated with the Astros, the team above us, the Corpus Christi Hooks, needed me to go help them in a mascot day on the 17t of August. I had been looking to going with Edy. They were going to pay for a room and gas and it was gonna be a blast. Well, Casey, my good buddy from High School, was going to move in into college station on the 15th, the frisday before the sunda game. So after much discussion and pursuation, my parents let me go.
This past week was rediculous. I went to a stained and hinder concert, I hung out with Edy and Casey, and then again oe epic night with Edy, Casey, and Austin Arce, another bud from high school and played basketball together. It was my last week off before working again with the hooks and then leaving for Ann Aror, so I had to make it count. It was nearing the end of the week, and I planned to go up with Casey to college station, then go to round rock for the game sunday, and possibly chill in San Antonio on Monday on my way back. But before I knew it, not only Edy and Arce were gonna go with me, but everything took forever to plan at the last minute as we didnt even know we were gonna go till 3pm the day of.
So after getting everything together, us three took off behind Casey who was an hour infront of us. On our way we saw a burning house and that was cool. We finally got there late like at 2 am. We went to eat at ihop. I got to meet Ricky, Casey´s room mate. I called him Ricky Bobby from that will ferrel racing movie, and the nick name caught on. We meet a sherif/cop dude who drove a charger at the ihop. I asked him if he ever gassed it up. He said no. I asked him if he ever drifted, and after looking at me, he said no. The guys thought I was crazy for asking, but I had too, haha.
We stayed up watching dodgeball, which was a stupid movie. oh, and I was the only one who stayed up. I cant go to sleep with the tv on. Everyone fell asleep within the first few minutes. SO I fell asleep at 6:30 am. Casey got us up at 9 am to go to home depot to pick paint for his dorm. Well, we were all tired and I cant even see coulars so I was screwed but we ate at freebirds and it was all good. We painted his room for a while and had a little fun in the process. Later we went to the awesomeness gym they have there in Texas A&M and played some ball. Even though we all sucked hard core from a combination of never playing anymore and harly sleeping, we crushed the opposition. Then we went to eat at a really good pizza place, even though me and ed got competely lost trying to get there.






Let me just break in right here for a special announcment: College Station has ALL the Girls...no joke. The girls here are amazing! Under my calculations, 90% are cute and 49.67% are plain hot. I am not joking. I have never seen so many amazing girls in my life! It seems every girl I saw was just the cutest ever! I ahd no idea what to do! I just wanted to stay there! Haha. Its a known fact that Michigan is not known for their girls because you have to be smart to get there. Really smart. All the pretty girls got o Michigan State because it is an easy school and a party school. Therefore Michigan suffers...but let me tell you what, College Station in no way is suffering! It is...a wonderland! Hahaha. Truely amazing! Im gonna have to visit more often! ...ok, back to my story...
After we ate pizza, we went to shower and went to this awesom club there. It was a bit off campus but it was a huge place filled with people and just a great atmosefear for dancing. We were able tos neak Edy into the 18 and up club with a friend´s ID that didnt even look like Edy. The place was good but I only got one dance. I was kinda depressed, but you do what you do. I have been practicing dancing, now I just got to practice asking girls our to dance, haha, something we never did in Annapolis. Baaa. I was kinda pissed, but whatever. It was probobly the amount of pretty girls that threw me off. Haha
That night me, Edy, and Arce went to get some snacks at the only place open at that hour, McDonalds. Then we watched some retarted movie, I forgot what it is called. Some looser is going to gyp the special olympics, haha. And we died. I woke up bright and early to go to mass. I found where the St. Mary in College Station was on my iphone. But I got lost trying to get there and found our I was going to completely opposite directions from some nice baptsits. So I went to mass and it was full under construction. It was packed but I was able to sneak into the 4th row. And low and behold, I was sitting 3 people down from one of my old friends from phillips and he was my neighbor when I grew up and went to school with im for a year at Most Precious Blood, Anthony Legamaro. I talked to him and then talked to the young preist who celebrated mass. I told him that I was from the St Mary in Ann Arbor and that we send them our greetings. He thought that was the coolest thing. I really enjoyed mass. It was packed to the brim, and yet it wasnt as charasmatic type as the one in Ann Arbor, it was loaded with students, tons of pretty girls, and even some of the mass parts where the same. I cant wait to get back to Ann Arbor...After mass I chatted up with him and took off. Back at the dorms, us 3 guys got ready to go. We grabbed casey, went to some mexican resturant in my car, dropped him off, pumped the music, waved to the girls and left.



The drive to Round Rock was about 2 hours, much longer than we expected, but we got there on time. We were lucky that Rust the Hook, one of our 2 mascots, did a good representation of us and won the Mascot Home Run Derby. He was 8 for 8 in the first round and had the farthest hit ball i the championship round. Kudos to him. The game was a bunch of fun, and I know Edy adn Arce loved officially being able to go wherever they wanted and saving 50% off with my money on whatever food they wanted. I showed them how to drive the stick on the cool man car after the game and then went to the hotel.

We were staying at the Hilton Gardens, all room payed. And let me tell you what, what an amazing hotel it was! Truly awesome! THe coolest beds and all. Haha. I got cleaned up and we watched a little of Johnson in gymnastics and then took off. Plan was: drop off ed with his brother in law, Derick, at his house in fploversvill that was 20 minutes away, and then me and arce go to a local club for round 2. Well, it was gonna work till all the local clubs sucked, har core. ONe had only 8 old men in it playing loud music and rinking, and the other one wasnt even in the location it was supposed to be. But whatever, I was dead tired, and after watching a little Jack Ass 2 in Derick´s awesome house, we went back to the hotel and crashed...
But I forgot to telly uo something! The lawfirm I was working for needed its documents read for Monday´s deposition! They were supposed to be done before monday but Casey had no internet in his dorm and I was screwed. I had 200 documents to read, about 4-6 hours of work. But we had none! So monday morning I got up early and read documents, even though they were past due...only to find another 200 assigned to me! Crap. So I worked hard and got 100 done. Right before we had to go, they where showing table tennis on the olympics, and since I had been waiting the whole olympics to watch it, I watched a bit, told Carlos to record the rest at home, and we left.
We went to eat at ihop, got some gas, and jammed up on our way back until they fell asleep. So lets get this strait: I had hardly slept the entire week. I had gotten up early saterday to get paint that I couldnt even see, got up early sunday to go to church when no one else got up, and got up early monday to do documents. And now I was driving home and they were asleep again, and whenever they woke up they complained of us getting there quick because they were tired...yeah, whatever. But, alas, we made it. We did go through Austin and San Antonio before arriving back to Corpus at a little after 4pm. I got home like at 5 and I was dead the entire time. I ate, watched some of the recorded ping pong and some of the live olympics, and went to bed. After over 800 miles of driving in 4 days (even though I didnt drive saterday), I finally could go to sweet bed to sleep...

We meet a sherif/cop dude who drove a charger at the ihop. I asked him if he ever gassed it up. He said no. I asked him if he ever drifted, and after looking at me, he said no. The guys thought I was crazy for asking, but I had too, haha.
We stayed up watching dodgeball, which was a stupid movie. oh, and I was the only one who stayed up. I cant go to sleep with the tv on. Everyone fell asleep within the first few minutes. SO I fell asleep at 6:30 am. Casey got us up at 9 am to go to home depot to pick paint for his dorm. Well, we were all tired and I cant even see coulars so I was screwed but we ate at freebirds and it was all good. We painted his room for a while and had a little fun in the process. Later we went to the awesomeness gym they have there in Texas A&M and played some ball. Even though we all sucked hard core from a combination of never playing anymore and harly sleeping, we crushed the opposition. Then we went to eat at a really good pizza place, even though me and ed got competely lost trying to get there.
Let me just break in right here for a special announcment: College Station has ALL the Girls...no joke. The girls here are amazing! Under my calculations, 90% are cute and 49.67% are plain hot. I am not joking. I have never seen so many amazing girls in my life! It seems every girl I saw was just the cutest ever! I ahd no idea what to do! I just wanted to stay there! Haha. Its a known fact that Michigan is not known for their girls because you have to be smart to get there. Really smart. All the pretty girls got o Michigan State because it is an easy school and a party school. Therefore Michigan suffers...but let me tell you what, College Station in no way is suffering! It is...a wonderland! Hahaha. Truely amazing! Im gonna have to visit more often! ...ok, back to my story...
After we ate pizza, we went to shower and went to this awesom club there. It was a bit off campus but it was a huge place filled with people and just a great atmosefear for dancing. We were able tos neak Edy into the 18 and up club with a friend´s ID that didnt even look like Edy. The place was good but I only got one dance. I was kinda depressed, but you do what you do. I have been practicing dancing, now I just got to practice asking girls our to dance, haha, something we never did in Annapolis. Baaa. I was kinda pissed, but whatever. It was probobly the amount of pretty girls that threw me off. Haha
That night me, Edy, and Arce went to get some snacks at the only place open at that hour, McDonalds. Then we watched some retarted movie, I forgot what it is called. Some looser is going to gyp the special olympics, haha. And we died. I woke up bright and early to go to mass. I found where the St. Mary in College Station was on my iphone. But I got lost trying to get there and found our I was going to completely opposite directions from some nice baptsits. So I went to mass and it was full under construction. It was packed but I was able to sneak into the 4th row. And low and behold, I was sitting 3 people down from one of my old friends from phillips and he was my neighbor when I grew up and went to school with im for a year at Most Precious Blood, Anthony Legamaro. I talked to him and then talked to the young preist who celebrated mass. I told him that I was from the St Mary in Ann Arbor and that we send them our greetings. He thought that was the coolest thing. I really enjoyed mass. It was packed to the brim, and yet it wasnt as charasmatic type as the one in Ann Arbor, it was loaded with students, tons of pretty girls, and even some of the mass parts where the same. I cant wait to get back to Ann Arbor...After mass I chatted up with him and took off. Back at the dorms, us 3 guys got ready to go. We grabbed casey, went to some mexican resturant in my car, dropped him off, pumped the music, waved to the girls and left.
The drive to Round Rock was about 2 hours, much longer than we expected, but we got there on time. We were lucky that Rust the Hook, one of our 2 mascots, did a good representation of us and won the Mascot Home Run Derby. He was 8 for 8 in the first round and had the farthest hit ball i the championship round. Kudos to him. The game was a bunch of fun, and I know Edy adn Arce loved officially being able to go wherever they wanted and saving 50% off with my money on whatever food they wanted. I showed them how to drive the stick on the cool man car after the game and then went to the hotel.
We were staying at the Hilton Gardens, all room payed. And let me tell you what, what an amazing hotel it was! Truly awesome! THe coolest beds and all. Haha. I got cleaned up and we watched a little of Johnson in gymnastics and then took off. Plan was: drop off ed with his brother in law, Derick, at his house in fploversvill that was 20 minutes away, and then me and arce go to a local club for round 2. Well, it was gonna work till all the local clubs sucked, har core. ONe had only 8 old men in it playing loud music and rinking, and the other one wasnt even in the location it was supposed to be. But whatever, I was dead tired, and after watching a little Jack Ass 2 in Derick´s awesome house, we went back to the hotel and crashed...
But I forgot to telly uo something! The lawfirm I was working for needed its documents read for Monday´s deposition! They were supposed to be done before monday but Casey had no internet in his dorm and I was screwed. I had 200 documents to read, about 4-6 hours of work. But we had none! So monday morning I got up early and read documents, even though they were past due...only to find another 200 assigned to me! Crap. So I worked hard and got 100 done. Right before we had to go, they where showing table tennis on the olympics, and since I had been waiting the whole olympics to watch it, I watched a bit, told Carlos to record the rest at home, and we left.
We went to eat at ihop, got some gas, and jammed up on our way back until they fell asleep. So lets get this strait: I had hardly slept the entire week. I had gotten up early saterday to get paint that I couldnt even see, got up early sunday to go to church when no one else got up, and got up early monday to do documents. And now I was driving home and they were asleep again, and whenever they woke up they complained of us getting there quick because they were tired...yeah, whatever. But, alas, we made it. We did go through Austin and San Antonio before arriving back to Corpus at a little after 4pm. I got home like at 5 and I was dead the entire time. I ate, watched some of the recorded ping pong and some of the live olympics, and went to bed. After over 800 miles of driving in 4 days (even though I didnt drive saterday), I finally could go to sweet bed to sleep...

BATMAN the DARK KNIGHT, Table Tennis, and All Most End of Summer
August 2nd
Well, people, summer is getting closer and closer to being over. I am really excited to get back to Michigan. I just want to get out of here, leave family, car, worries behind and start my second life in Ann Arbor once again. I cannot wait for the freedom I will once again have that I cherished so much my first year.
Let me just talk about Batman, the Dark Knight for a moment....it is the best movie I have ever seen in my life! Literally! It was amazing. I saw it once with Casey, then a second time with Edy, and then a third myself. I even bought a poster. I absolutely love it. The movie is everything Batman was supposed to be. The joker was everything he was created to be: a genius yet insane character who did evil for the pure joy of doing it. He was twisted, yet his methods were off the charts genius. The plot was so real, and so life like. The drama was real life obsticales that everyone has to go through. Does one step up and continue what he has been striving his whole life for or does he give in when the times get beyond comprehensible? Do you keep fighting or give in when failure seems inevitable? And the true side of humanity was displayed sever times, most notably on the two ships scene. That scene and the interrogation scene were my favorite parts of the whole movie. My favorite action scene definitely had to be his trip to Hong Kong. Wow. This movie definitely hit everything, from superb action and fighting, to deep morals, to dark humanity. It hit everything. And in the end, the Joker was waving his hair and smiling happily out the cop car window, and that image wil always resound in my mind in this epic movie to be remember for all time...



I have about 2 home game stands totaling 13 games, so having that extra $1000+ is going to be really nice. I am just about done with this darn Accounting Course at TAMUCC. Its getting really annoying because its all pushed into a few days. I took my second midterm this past weds and take my final this upcoming thursday. After all this accounting I am thinking of starting to invest in stocks. I talked to Edy and my dad about it, and there is a good chance I might do that. Dont tell anyone, but my plan right now is to buy some stocks to invest in, keep working for the lawfirm during the school year, and hopefully, if all works out and my dad doesnt disown me, buy a sport motorcycle next sumer. Edy has been getting me all up about bikes because he wanted one. He just bought a fairly nice hyndai car. He hopes to fix it up, use it his senior year, sell it for profit, and buy a bike himself.
I forgot to tell you that the past few weeks I have been practicing Table Tennis Hard Core to get ready for the tournament at TAMUCC on the 31st of July. See, I knew taking this class was good for something! I bought myself a really nice raquet from KillerSpin and practiced a lot on my serve and forehand. Anyhow, I went to the tournament and completely dominated. I won every single game and match, going undefeated to the very end. So, ladies and Gentlemen, after my first table tennis tournament, I am champion. Hopefully I will sign up for the USATT soon. I will keep you up to date.

Summer Keeps going
This is the part of the summer when most of the fun and unusual things end and work and stuff keeps rolling. This is where I am now, and it is not that great.
I am working with the hooks all the time now. Every game, I am there, working down in the tunnel area now. I still like the people there and I think they still like to see my face, haha. Check out the schedual along wit promotions and score updates at www.cchooks.com
I was supposed to help the football team a bit at my old high school as an assistance summer coach, but that hasnt worked out too well thus far. Hopefully I can put more days into it as my baseball schedule waves around.
I started an accounting class at Texas A&M Corpus Christi on the 7th of July. The class is exactly 1 month long, so I will finish it the 7th, giving me plenty of time before going back up to Ann Arbor. It is the intro to financial accounting, acc231 transfer to Michigan. Econ101 just ran me over in Michigan. It was my only C- and it was so frusterating. Accounting is supposed to be 4 times harder. Remember, Michigan has the number one business school in the nation. All the basketball managers told me to take it at my local college during the summer. So that is what I am doing...I ended up having my first midterm on the 16th...it was THE EASIEST test I have ever taken in college! It was rediculous! Super easy! I got there 5 minutes late, everyone had started, and I finished befroe most people...I mean, it took me 10 minutes to do! ¡Dang! But hey....I have no complaints. I really want an A to carry back up with me to Michigan. I have yet to make an A, only a few A-s so it would be nice.

I have to back track a few weeks ago to the Wimbledon Finals. That was THE MOST AMAZING FINALS I HAVE EVER SEEN! Federer is always the man. His stroke is so smooth and he can place it just about wherever he wants. Nadal is the come up kid, the fresh legs, still working his way up the ranks, and in this case, is #2 in the world...Nadal won the first 2 sets, needed 1 more, but in tiebreaker in the 3rd, after winning in the tiebreaker, Federer comes back and wins the 3rd. In the fourth, same case...Nadal needs one more, is doing excellent, but Federer manages to grab his second set with the tiebreaker win. It is amazing to consider how somone so dominant as Federer only won his 2 lone sets by tiebreaker. But in the 5th set...it was beautiful. Nadal just wisking his way, win point by point until his biggest challenge, the All-England Club, was finally his for the record books. Truely an awe-inspiring match. Amazing. I will never forget this one. And let me tell you, neither are the fans or the sport junkies...this one was all over ESPN after it was over. http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/tennis/wimbledon08/news/story?id=3475473

Well, people, I want to hear your words...what do you want to talk about? Table tennis? The Olympics? Team USA Basketball? What do you want?
