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...

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.
¡¿Whoes Your Daddy?!

Second Hand Scenerade Concert
July 14th
I am sorry that I didnt post this earlier, But I went with Casry, a High School Grad bud to the Second Hand Senerade concert on the July the 14th. It was a really fun concert. It was under this roof, in a small stage at Brewsters Street, which is right next to Whataberger Field where I work baseball games. It was super hot in there, and it was packed with a bunch of 14 year olds, but besides that, the 5 bands who played were very entertaining. Each band had a different style which I liked. I hadnt heard like any of the music, but I had a lot of fun. Second Hand Senerade did a good concert. It was like just the right length and they did a good job playing the 2 songs that I did know...Your Call and Fall for Me...

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?
