Baseball Time Again

Once again it is time for regionals!!!!! LSU and Tulane both have separate Regionals but unless something weird happens it looks like LSU will have to go through Tulane in Super Regionals.

Tulane Regional:

1) Tulane vs 4) Southern

3) Louisiana-Lafayette vs 2) Alabama

Tulane got maybe the hardest Regional with ULL and Alabama.

LSU Regional:

1) LSU vs 4)Marist

3)Northwestern State vs 2) Rice

For those who do not remember Rice beat LSU in a Super Regional to go to the College World Series in 2002.
Also Tulane beat LSU in a Super Regional in 2001 to go to the College World Series.

Whether people like to say it or not the Season begins today and even though I am a die heart LSU fan and will root them on no matter who they play, I think Tulane has the best chance of winning it all. ( So long as no injuries come about.)

Teams to watch out for(Not #1's):

Mississippi St
Arizona St.
Notre Dame or North Carolina ( Same bracket)
South Carolina

The most Dangerous Teams:

Tulane
Cal State Fullerton
Nebraska ( because home site in CWS)
Ole Miss

Good luck to all 64 teams and hopefully thing will go very weird and LSU and Tulane will get separate Super Regionals!!!

What is going on?

OK first let me say this, I know my grammer is bad, but I don't care because this is my blog. So deal with it! And I am sorry!



This may sound a little confusing because it is confusing to me. I don't understand a lot of things in this world, and I would love to have them explained to me of what is going on with each situation I come across. I read today in the newspaper that the government is trying to put lasers on airplanes to shoot down missiles. Does anyone else see how big of a mistake this is? You are turning commercial airlines into military weapons. What is next? Rifles attached to trains? Why does the government care more about politics than it does about people? Why is it so hard for someone in power to do the right thing instead of what will get his approval rating up? Why do people not say "thank you" when you hold the door open for them? Why are people uncomfortable with silence? Why are people scared of the homeless? Why are people afraid of different languages? Why do people not want immigrants to come into this country? Wake up everyone! Unless you are pure Native American, we are all immigrants. Why do people feel better when they don't know about a problem? Why do people not care? Why do some people feel helpless when they can help? Why is money more valuable than life? Why do we believe killing brings an end to a problem? Why do people try to fight violence, sex, and bigotry instead of trying to promote peace, love, and understanding? Why do people pass blame? Why do people look at the homeless and say, "why don't they get a job?" Yet they won't help them find one? Why do people always want to hear the good things about their life? Why do people lie to make people feel better? If someone is your friend why do they lie to you? Why do people love to talk about their community service? Why do people always believe their life is so tough when they know deep down it could be worse? Why are people scared of what they don't know? Why do people always want to be right? Why are people scared to stand up and speak their mind? Soldiers die everyday to not only preserve freedom but bring freedom to people who don't have it and we don't even use it! Why are people looked down upon when they voice their opinion? The way people think and believe does not make them a bad person. Just because someone feels a certain way on an issue does not mean they are a bad person. Why do people care more about reality shows than the war in Iraq? Why are so many Americans ignorant to how the government works? I am not saying they are not smart but take this as an example: A friend of my parents has a 4.0 gpa at her University in the field of child education, but when asked by me who was the secretary of Education she said I don't know. When asked what pursuits of political gain or money the education department is trying to gain with any new bills that are coming out again she said, "I don't know." Why do the majority of people in my generation when asked, "what to do when you have a problem with the government," have no idea who their Congressmen are or how to reach them? Sure the internet has made it easier to communicate with public official's, yet there is a steady decline in interaction with public figures each year with the 20 something generation. Though everytime I talk to someone in my generation they are complaining about the government. Why are there bumper stickers with the saying you can't be catholic and pro-choice? Someone should have told me there was a Catholic political party in our government, I would have joined. Public officials thought catholics represent the people of the United States of America. Last time I looked, the US was not just Catholics, but also a wide variety of religions, so a public official's vote is not his vote but the vote of the people. Why do I care so much about my generation's voice? Because my generation is getting killed overseas, so I can have the freedom to voice my opinion to the government, so it is my duty, sorry, my obligation with this freedom to make sure that what they are dying for is the right fight. One last thing. Explain this to me, after 9/11 when I was just a freshman in college that this year, 4 years later, a poll showed graduating seniors from college that applications to the Peace Corp went up 80%. Why are these same people, who are willing to give two years of their life to the government still afraid to voice their opinion openly to the government?

My owners torture me

So as you saw earlier I decided to have guest blogs. My first guest blog was my co-worker Kim, who I might add has some really funny stuff to say. My next Guest blog is from somebody very close to me, and I know many of you won't believe me but my next guest blog is from my dog buddy (Yes, I taught my dog how to type. He is very smart!). I will now hand it off to my best friend, Buddy.

Yeah, you bastard I am smart and the only reason I learned how to type is because you won't let me roam. I'm lonely, my balls only look attractive for so long. Hell that black lab you call "Hero" is starting to look attractive.

Ok first let me get this off my chest, I hate dry food and you know it. I want what you eat and I don't care if it cost me a couple of years off my life. It is better than eating that crap you give me. I see you eating in front of me why can't you just give me a little. What is with everyone calling me fat? LOOK IN A MIRROR! Hell, I've been eating my protein and working out. This is all muscle baby! Listen, I want to eat healthy but my owners won't give me any nutrious food. I eat carrots and banannas.

What is up with the once a month bath? It's embarrassing! All the dogs in the neighborhood talk. They call me names like smelly and no balls. By the way, I am going to make your life a living hell since you took my manhood. I promise you that!

Also where in the hell do you guys go all the time. Seriously, what can be more fun than hanging out with me. Even when you come home you turn on that stupid TV and please turn it down. I only got 20 hours a sleep yesterday because you had Family Guy blaring (by the way the dog on that show is the funniest character on TV).

I hate squirrels!!!! I hate squirrels!!!! Everyday it is my life's mission to one day bring down those bastards that torment me everyday. With their funny looking tails and their starring glares of taunt. One day I will get you evil squirrels! Oh that glorious day, I will be in heaven. I am done for now ranting so I will hand back to Rhett.

Now I don't normally do this but I wanted to included a Question/Answer with my dog Buddy:

Rhett: You know you gave me a pretty bad bashing.. What about all those time I do take you for walks and give you baths?

Buddy: What 's that once a month! Seriously, why you so freaking lazy! GET OFF YOUR ASS AND DO SOMETHING WITH ME! Come on, I know you don't have a girlfriend so you can't be that busy.

Rhett: Hey come on I am working on the whole girlfriend thing!

Buddy: You couldn't pick up a deaf blind fat chick at a desperate singles bar with a role of 20's in your pocket.

Rhett: Hey I don't see you helping out too much!

Buddy: that because you don't need me for help, you need act of congress ( what that doesn't work either) nevermind you need an act from God to get you laid.

Rhett: That's it this interview is over!

ladies and gentlemen that was my best friend Buddy.

Finals Week

I hate Finals! Let me repeat that I hate Finals!

I am in finals week, and all I dream about is missing the exam and all think about is drinking after the exam. I'm sorry I want to write more but I can't. I mean I really can not think of anything to write. I still have two left! If anyone wants to find me on friday I will be at the Pub running up my tab and killing brain cells.

And why is pink the “hot” color for men this season??

Ok, so I got an idea since so many of my friends were always telling me of ideas to write about on my blog. I decided to let them write about these ideas. My co-worker, Kim, asked me to do a guest spot on my blog. I accepted, and she had a idea fuming about pink shirts...I let her tell you.


Now I am sure there are many of you out there who will agree with me. Pink, as has been ingrained in us since we were babies, is for girls. Blue is for boys. I have seen more males dressed in pink since last summer than I‘ve cared to see. Somehow a man just does not appear "manly" to me in pink. He looks more "fairy-ish" and soft. If a man passes me by and he’s wearing a pink shirt (or in the worst case I witnessed, several young men together wearing pink panther slippers, pink shirts and pink headbands) I can’t help but automatically think he belongs on Queer as Folk. Pink is just not fashionable on men. Let me repeat – PINK IS NOT FASHIONABLE ON MEN!!!!! Wear another pastel color like yellow, peach or mint green, but please stay away from the pink family. For those of you who don’t know let me help you. This means no corals, no fuschias, no mauves, blushes or rose hues. For the brothas, no pink and white g-nikes or any shoes with pink on them. And I don’t want to see pink boxer drawers ever again! I almost fainted when I saw a boy with his pants sagging and pink drawers showing. And why do boxers even come in pink???? What were the manufacturers thinking? Is this a subtle attempt to feminize men? I would rather my man wear no underwear than to put on pink drawers. He may as well wear mine. Here is my appeal : Men rebel against the pink revolution. It is in your best interest to veto pink acceptance. Go back to tacky plaids and logo shirts and send all pink back to your sister’s and girlfriend’s closets.

UPDATE!!!!!!

Ok, I know most of you did not believe me but here it is the prof:

Check it out. 100 pound woman eats 11 pound burger. 10% of her body weight.

Incredible, that is all I can say.

I love watching the Yankees lose

There is nothing better in this world than to see the New York Yankees lose.

I do not have a favorite team in baseball. I root for Boston because they are my bother Ryan's favorite team, and I root for the Cubs because they are my brother Ross' favorite team. Though if asked what is my favorite team I would answer who ever plays against the Yankees. I have nothing against the Yankees fans but I hate the organization. I mean they are not even a team, they are a collection of all-stars. The only starter on the team you can honestly say is a true Yankee is Derek Jeter. The team collects other teams best player for the highest price. That is how they are trying to win championships and it has nothing to do with the "Team" concept. So to see these all stars backfiring on the Yanks is the greatest site since....ever. I mean how mad do you think George SteinRich is with an over 200 million payroll playing uner .500. Oh about that lineup change that the great Joe Tore put in place against the Devil Rays and what came about was two straight loses. Thank God you spent all that money on pitching becuase it help when the Devil Rays racked up double digit runs two days in a row. How about that replacement at second base his error yesterday that brought in two runs instead of a double play really helped out. " I live for this." Yes, baseball I do love this especially when that 200 million dollar payroll is losing to the worst team in the league and Georgie Boy is crying about going broke.
