First Entry!


Hello World. My name is Daniel. You can call me DP. I am 18 years old, and my birthday is in 9 days. I am a freshman at the University of Michigan. I am in the school of Kinesiology, studying Sports Management. I am currently a manager for the Men's Basketball Team, so yes, I know Belien, Manny, at the rest of the gang.

Its March 24th right now. I just finished writing the second phase of a very indepth exsecutive project for my sports management 101 class. My group is proposing a Insulated Evaporative Cooling Cap for Adidas. Dont beleive me? Check out our model at:

Besides that, I am busy with many other things. For the record: I hate econ. Its terrible. Baaa. And my English 225 professor hates me. Movement science is hard but I have a B in it. I have no idea what I have in SM101.

Yesterday was my bro's birthday. His name is Carlos and he turned 8...I mean 16. I call him Hotdog. Others call him Carlito Tostido. Whatever you call him, make sure he acts his age. Hes a smart cookie, and finally starting to grow and mature as well.

I have less than a month to go. Today is the 24th. I leave April 19th! Its a saturday. I finish the 15th, so I will have wednesday through friday to get ready for the trip back. I cant wait! News on my summer plans to be announced.

Some cool news: Well, Michigan did not make it to the NCAA tournament. I guess that isnt cool news. But it is cool cause now it is individual training, so I dont have to go everyday and give my 4 hours of life for free anymore...only an hour and 1/2 now. The Hockey team won the CCHA Championship. You can read about it here: http://media.www.michigandaily.com/media/storage/paper851/news/2008/03/24/IceHockey/Straight.To.The.Top-3279831.shtml . Terrelle Pryor went against the maize and blue and went to their scarlet and grey arch enimy instead: http://media.www.michigandaily.com/media/storage/paper851/news/2008/03/20/CampusLife/Pryor.Spurns.m.For.Ohio.State-3276829.shtml . Something cool just popped up on the Michigan Daily. The University got a few million dollars by the millitary to make a spy bat. Pretty much this mini bat robot will be 6 inches long, a 1/4 of a pound, and completely life sustaining. It will recharge its battery from the sun, the wind, vibrations, and even dipping in water and letting it evaportate. It will be able to detect motion, heat, and send video and audio information to troops. This thing is rad; totally 21st century technology. I am so excited! It reminded me of batman, haha. Check out these two links for more info: http://media.www.michigandaily.com/media/storage/paper851/news/2008/03/24/Academics/u.Helping.To.Develop.BatLike.Spy.Plane-3279852.shtml and http://www.ns.umich.edu/htdocs/releases/story.php?id=6409 for a concept picture. Awesome, isnt it?
Umm, lets see. It snowed friday. So we had a white Easter! It was really cool! Today I felt like I had to get rid of the coat for once, so I just went around campus in my shirt. The sun was out and the snow looked real pretty. It was only 33 degrees outside, so at least it wasnt freezing. It felt great.

Well, this blog seems adicting. Anyone who really knows me knows that I live to explain everything in detail. So this blogg looks like the place for me. DP's Blog. I like the sound of it. And hopefully you do too. So if you like what you see and want more, let me know and give me a holler! Go Blue and talk to you later. Cheers -DP
