Classes, Basketball, Boxing and even some Batman fun

Well, Ladies and Gentlemen, I havent been able to welcome you here to Michigan. As you hve probobly guessed...the man is hard at work. Let me give you a little intro in the classes I am taking. First off, remember I am a Sports Management Major. So my classes are:
-Organizational Behavior of Sports Businesses
-Strategy of Sport Businesses
-Economics of Sport Businesses
-Legal aspects of Sport Businesses
-and Rocket Science
the classes are all 3 credits which makes it nice and I even have it set in my schedual so that I can lift three times a week at Crisler when there is no one there. Really nice. Check out my first vid of my new appartment:


Plus baksetball is here of course, so that means many hours in the office and even more at Crisler, doing individuals and gettign the players prepared for practices starting October 16. Basketball has been a real joy lately and it is only going to get better. Infact, my good friend and buddy Chinadu was the one to really push me for writing this post. H emade me promise to post it tonight. So here I am. Everyone say thanks to Chin. He really is a major contributor. We call him 5by5...well, I do at least, cause he si square with his 5 workouts. Fascinating. He loves my blog, checks it every few minutes on his blackberry and loves guessing my spelling errors. Not only that, he recomended putting pictures on the border like here to the left! What a role modle! He will go far, he will indeed, as demonstrated in being an econ major plus managing for the Basketball Team PLUS coaching for the Gabriel Reshard High School Freshman girl´s team for the 3rd year. Awesome. We love you Chin.

Anyhow, lets get to some action. If you remember last time I wrote about the Notre Dame hype. Well, incase you were sleeping in a cave or living ont he dark side of the moon, we won. And we won again and again. The hoosier game was pretty intence, with us comming up from behind and winning in the end amist Forcier hurting his shoulder. Of course after The Notre Dame game Forcier somehow managed to get one vote for the Heisman running...yea, 2 games into his FRESHMAN year...of course. But Whatever. Here are two vids I took at the stadium. Exclusive from the Video. Brought to you by DP Productions.

The Battle of the bands

Michigan pumping up


Now for some more news. You heard about the boxing fun from last post. Well, the specs are out and the fight generated and astonishing $1million pay-per-view buys, which is great for boxing: people are interested. The fight generated $54million in domestic pay-per-view revenue and the live gate made $6,811,300, generated from 12,009 tickets sold. Who´s more efficient?...well, haha yea. Always better to see live but ya know, it comes at a price.

But more exciting Boxing news...after 16 year, Roy Jones and Bernard Hopkins will finally fight again. Wow. Amazing. There were talks of them fighting for a long time but it took forever to negociate the price split. But its pretty genious...50/50. Every heard of that before? But there is an incentive. Descition by Knock Out changes that to 60/40 respectfully. This is gonna be sick. Two old fat men, both over 40, dueling it out like they were little boys. The firght will be early 2010 and will be on HBO PPV. Ill keep you posted.

......................................

And the last bit of news before I start writing the next post haha...the Batmobile. Thats right. I think I have written before about Batmobile type vehicles but this is like pretty much the real deal. It is a $1 million 700hp Batmobile, right in Bruce Wayne´s budget, built over a 1973 Lincoln Continental chassis, and looks rediculously amazing. Too bad the vid didnt show its interior, which apparently is loaded with gadgets, from rear-view cameras to a plasma TV. Anyhow, enjoy the end of this post with this farewell vid. And comment, babby! You too chin! Thanks!

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.
