Phils Won Tonight and Adam Morrison

Well the Phillies won tonight, not going to save much, but I'm guessing you haven't been checking the scores so I thought I would let you know that. Ryan Madson pitched like a real starter, it must have been fun to watch for the 3 people that were watching it.

On a side note NBA Live 2007 have come out with their new commercials. Let me just show you two of them including the recent #3 pick in the draft, Adam Morrison.

Back in Action

I'm back after my laptop crashed a few days ago. I know you missed me. I have returned now with a new motherboard courtesy of Dell and ready to have at it.

Another thing is that i'm looking to move this blog to a different site/host, anyone got any good ideas. It's gotta be for free or there has to be some way I don't have to pay any money.

Lastly, go see the new movie Superman Returns. It's worth it.

The State of Oregon

Oregon? Where is that again? It's actually a state on the west coast above California and below Washington. See it there on the map with the abbreviation OR. Apparently they play baseball out there, and they play well at that. They went 6-0 in games that they faced elimination. Imagine 5 times facing the end of your season and coming back to win. Yesterday they came back from 5 runs down to win and today they held on for the lead despite North Carolina having a great last inning shot at tying the game up. North Carolina had their best hitter, Chad Flack, up with two outs and the tying run in scoring postion. But the Oregon State player of the year, Kevin Gunderson, got him to fly out to end the game. As the ESPN announcers said, Gunderson promised a return to the World Series after coming up short last year and he also plays with a ton of heart. On Sunday he pitched 5 1/3 innings relief to OSU survive another day and then today when reliever Dallas Buck got into a little trouble he came in to end it all be the guy to leap into the arms of the catcher when they won it all. Jonah Nickerson was the other hero for the Beavers, "making his third start in eight days," as he pitched 6 2/3 innings allowing only two runs to the strong Tar Heels.
Got to hand it to the Tar Heels though, they played an amazing series besides a few minor errors that really cost them. They had some great pitching that looks to be great even in the majors. They also have a very young, talented team that should return many players for a run at the World Series next year.

Penalty Kick Golden Goal

Well, Australia vs. Italy was an amazing match. Australia mostly dominated the match and played a man up for most of the 2nd half, but the Socceroos couldn't pull it off. Francesco Totti scored a 95th minute extra time penalty kick. There was no question the penalty kick had to be called, the Italian player could have jumped over the tackle easily, but he went down to get the PK. The penalty kick was basically a golden goal situation because the extra time was used up, so everyone knew if it went in it was over and that turned out to be true.


This game just shows how difficult soccer is for the lesser known countries. It's true any team can win any single game against any other opponent. But it more often comes out that little underdogs cannot take on the big powerhouse countries in the elimination. It's not like March Madness, unlikely for George Mason to advance that far in this tournament. Not to say that Australia didn't have a chance to win this game, they had many oppurtunities, but there were a lot of factors playing against them, mainly the name of the country they were playing. So have fun watching the Ghana vs. Brazil match tomorrow, but don't bet your house on Ghana.
Go Ghana!

Because Sports Is All That Matters

- World Cup elimination play started on Saturday. I correctly picked 13 of the 16 teams to advance out of group play. The 3 I guessed wrong were England, Saudi Arabia, and the United States. Togo, Saudi Arabia, and the U.S. all didn't surprise like I wanted them too. England has shown that you don't have to destroy the opposition to advance, just score one more goal. Their next opponent though Germany has been very very strong, that will be a great match. In the first 4 elimination games there have not been any penalty kicks, but that doesn't mean games haven't been exciting. I'm a busy guy who had to work all weekend, but today I watched the Netherlands vs. Portugal game and it was astonishing. There were 16 yellow cards, including 4 players sent off. To the right shows van Bronckhorst of Netherlands being sent off in injury time of the 2nd half as Portugal realized that they survived this horrendous match. I was cheering for the orange of Netherlands, but Portugal is a very legitimate team. Portugal will go up against Argentina next round and that match could be a match good enough for the World Cup final. It's a shame that Portugal will be without possibly 3 of their players. Two sent off with red cards and Cristiano Ronaldo was injured in the match. Ronaldo should be able to return though. Tomorrow we will see if whether underdogs Ghana and Australia can do anything in their matches against Brazil and Italy - exciting it may be.


- It's a shame that this will be such a large topic of conversation for this World Cup, but it is undeniable that the referees have played a major role in this World Cup and have been a distraction. There are numerous instances of questionable calls made. The first two that come to mind would be basically everything the ref did today in the Portugal v. Netherlands match and also the call on the United State's Oguchi Onyewu that allowed the penalty kick that lost the U.S. the game. It was stated before the World Cup that the refs would be cutting down on the physical play, but many calls have been disputed. Soccer refereeing is definitely a difficult job with all the acting, faking, accidental fouls, foreign players of different styles, etc. I just hope that the refs at least don't make mistakes in giving out red cards and allowing goals, that's the least I ask for.


- The College World Series has been going in case you haven't noticed, which is possible since the World Cup is on, MLB games are on, and apparently people watch golf on TV. Right now North Carolina is losing 11-7 to Oregon State in Game 2 of the best of 3 World Series, which UNC leads 1-0. A win by OSU means that the champion will be crowned tomorrow night. I do suggest that everyone watch the game tomorrow (unless of course UNC comes back and wins tonight). College baseball is exciting. Watch college kids play baseball like its life or death and there is no tomorrow. UNC won game 1 on a wild pitch steal of home to take the lead and then there closer came in a threw a bunch of fastballs to end the game. If you like baseball at all, that should sound like a good game to you. Tomorrow is sure to be an exciting game. It will be like watching an entire series of the MLB World Series wrapped up into one game without the cockiness and attitudes of the players in the Majors and also there will be small-ball.

UPDATE: There will be a third game in the World Series tomorrow at 7 PM EST on ESPN. Watch it and you'll enjoy a good baseball game.

- "Wife Beating" - add that to the list of horrible things that have happened to the Phillies this season. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Myers' current troubles are a bit more of a problem than Jon Lieber's, Cory Lidle's, Gavin Floyd's, and Cole Hamel's combined. Hopefully Randy Wolf Superman abilities.

The Right Side of the Future

Tonight is an off night for the Phillies. A chance to regroup, figure things out, watch Roger Clemens pitch (or the college world series like me). I'll take the night off to inform you, my wonderful reader, about the 3 players that I think are the only bright spots on the Phillies right now.
My two favorite players on the Phillies right now are Chase Utley and Ryan Howard, the right side of the infield for the Phillies for many years to come. Each of their salaries are $500,000 and $355,000 respectively.

Ryan Howard was a 5th round draft choice of the Phillies in 2001. Everyone knows how he make it to majors and forced the Phillies to get rid of Jim Thome in the offseason. After a stellar rookie season, he has blossomed into a great hitter. Just this week he hit the first home run into the upper deck of Citizens Bank Park. It was actually not the farthest home run he's hit this year. His deep blast into Asburn Alley on 4/23 went 491 feet. The farthest home run distance this year according to hittrackeronline.com.
Let me just leave you with this stat from ESPN.com: his projected stats for the complete season are as follows: 57 home runs, .293 batting average, 151 RBI. I'm happy to give up Jim Thome to let this guy play. O yea and he is only costing us $355,000.







Now the other guy. Chase Utley does not have the best stats in the world this year, but still he is having a great year for the Phillies. He is the exact type of player they need more of on this ballclub. He's an honorable mention on Jayson Stark's "All-Run-Through-A-Wall team." Chase had his first day off this season on Saturday, June 17th. Yes, first day off of the season. He is a homegrown star of the Phillies system. He was the 15th overall pick of the 2000 draft. His projected season stats on ESPN.com are 27 HR, 93RBI, .290 Batting Average. Not too shabby for a young 2nd baseman. His best contributions though are not those stats, but his work ethic and hardworking old-school style of ball playing. His defense has gotten much better to the point where he is a very dependable player. He's always running, wherever he is on the field. This New York Times article sums him up best though. It's an article about how hard Utley works in the offseason and how he has pledged to never take any performance enhancing drugs. Since you might not be a New York Times online member (even though it is free) I have provided a copy of the article here.


The final player I would like to highlight is Brett Myers. Myers was the 12th overall pick of the 1999 draft. He has finally come into his own this year. He's a very solid starting pitcher this year. He has only given up more than 3 earned runs in game twice this year (6/9 vs. Nationals and 6/14 vs. Mets), but he has since rebounded (2 ER in 6.2 innings vs. Yankees on 6/19). He has a 3.77 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, 77 K's, 2.33 K/BB ratio, and .267 opponent AVG.

---

A few other notes. A few people might say where is Tom Gordon and Aaron Rowand on this list. It's true Tom Gordon is playing great, but I feel like he has been a huge difference maker this year. Also, he's not a really a pitcher of the future. He's too old to be here more than one more year. Myers, Utley, and Howard will be here for awhile. Rowand did make The Catch, but besides that he hasn't done that much to make himself stick out. That can really be said for most of the players besides Howard. Just because I did not include him here, don't let that make you think I don't like him.

Comcast shows the show "Phillies Clubhouse" on the nights the Phillies aren't playing. One segment of the show was to take Ryan Howard up to the upper deck where he hit his massive home run the other day and to see the seat, now marked by an "H" where the ball hit. I just found a few quotes from the segment to be rather humorous. Just remember there are talking about the upper deck, the cheap seats, where I sit when I go to the games. I love the seats up there - $12 and a great atmosphere.
"I don't think that bird is higher than us right now."
"It looks a lot farther from up here."
"You can't even tell who the people are down there."






Update: Withholding oppinion on him until the criminal investigation has concluded.

Terry Tate

The series of Reebok commercials including Office Linebacker "Terrible" Terry Tate were amazing. Here are all the videos that I know of that include Terry Tate. Let me know if you love these clips as much as I do. I'm thinking of putting together a webpage of the Terry Tate movies. We'll see. Let me know what you think.

This first video doesn't have a specific plot besides showing Terry Tate at his best, being the office linebacker. Have at it.


The 2nd video shows Terry on vacation - given some time off from the company. He has a lot of fun on his trip.


Sensitivity Training is apparently needed to Terry Tate. Though the CEO meant well, he could not have been more wrong.



Short and just edited from the other videos I think, but still funny and enjoyable.


A new young office linebacker is now roaming the same turf as Terry Tate. See the battle between Terry Tate and Courtney Cate.


OSPN a.k.a. Office Sports Programming Network. Sort of like ESPN NFL Films, but not, just watch and enjoy.

Final Games of Qualifying

Each team of the World Cup has played their first two games of the group stage. What that means is that some teams have already mathematically advanced and other teams are going to have to play with all their heart and soul and do some scoreboard watching. I'll do a rundown of the teams that made it to the next round and the games that you need to watch this upcoming week.

Tuesday:
10 am - Ecuador and Germany have already advanced. The Costa Rica and Poland game is not worth watching. The Ecuador and Germany game will be good because Ecuador has yet to let up a goal and Germany will want that first place rank in the standings.
3 PM - England has already advanced, but a win or a tie will give them first place in the group which will do a lot to appease their very demanding fans. And also look for Wayne Rooney to play in this match. If Trinidad wins and Sweden loses Trinidad has a shot at making it to the next round depending on how the goal differential ends up. So make sure you cheer for an England blowout and a Trinidad win.

Wednesday:
10 am - Argentina and Netherlands have already advanced, but they play eachother so the game should be good to see two good teams match up and try to get the top spot of the group. Ivory Coast vs Serbia Montenegro may be fun to watch if like Ivory Coast. They should win just because it appears Serbia has given up and already gone home. It would be nice to see Ivory Coast win.
3 PM - Portugal has already advanced. Mexico needs to tie or beat Portugal though to guarentee advancement and Portugal is unlikely to just give up and wait for the next round.
Angola has a chance to advance if they blow out Iran and Portugal blows out Mexico, both possible so watch these games if either of those pieces end up playing out.

Thursday:
10 am - Italy vs Czech and US. vs Ghana. If you care about how the US team is doing at all both these games are important to watch. If the Czech's start blowing out the Italians though it all doesn't matter and start preparing your complaints for Bruce Arena. If all goes perfectly for the US, they could end up with a second round match against Australia/Croatia next Tuesday.
3 PM - Brazil has advanced. They could very easily play a lazy game, but they haven't guarenteed themselves the top spot so dont look for them to be pushovers. Brazil should be able to destroy Japan though with their eyes closed. Australia vs Croatia will be exciting though. A win or a tie and Australia advances, but a Croatia win means they advance. That's a lot to play for.

Friday:
10 am - Togo will not be advancing, but don't think that they wont be playing hard against France, everyone likes to beat the French, especially when a victory means the French don't make it to the next round. Switzerland and Korea will both advance if France loses, but if not both teams could be in danger. Both teams still got everything to play for and a lot to prove.
3 PM - Spain is amazing, but they have already advanced basically insured themselves the top spot. So they may take it easy against Saudi Arabia. There are a lot of complicated possibilities for these last two games so I won't go into it all. I'll just say that Saudi Arabia, Ukraine, and Tunisia will all be playing their hearts and Spain is just damn good. So watch either of these games and you should see some good soccer.

And that wraps up the group stage of the world cup.
Go US.
and go phillies.
hope you enjoyed this post because i did it instead of studying for chemistry or getting some extra sleep.

Phuck

I was going to write a quick post saying how I was pissed off at the outcome of the Phils game tonight. And I am going to do that. But I first I forgot how I never said anything about the US soccer match. I don't have much time cause I gotta run to get in some specific commentary, but lets just the US soccer team and the Philadelphia Phillies both have the talent to win, but neither have the will, determination, unity, heart, etc to pull it off.
So to summarize, I'm going to the Phil's game tomorrow night and if they lose, my relationship with the Phils will be very hurt this summer. US soccer has to wait until Saturday to please anyone.

Who Will Win

Which team will be able to hoist this trophy in a month. Predicting the world cup is just about impossible, but with this post I'll make my predictions on which teams are going to advance in the World Cup.

Out of Group A Germany and Ecuader will advance. Germany will just because its the host country and Ecuador has a solid team that looked very good against Poland. Costa Rica is just happy to be in the World Cup and Poland is just going to do their best not to get embarressed.
Group B: This is a tough group because I want to see Trinidad and Tobago advance but England and Sweden are also in the group. I'm going to go out a limb and say that Trinidad and Tabago will advance and the other team will be the winner of Sweden vs England game and Sweden will actually advance. Yes, England will not make it out of qualifying.
Group C: This is one is easy, I want to see Ivory Coast make it, but they just have the toughest schedule. Netherlands and Argentina will advance here.
Group D: Portugal is definately advancing out of here. The other team will be a tough choice, but I have to say Mexico.
Group E: Italy and the United States will advance here. Yes I know this basically the group of death and the US has no shot, but I stil think US will advance. It's just a feeling and a hope.
Group F: Brazil, a favorite to win it all, will surely advance. The other team will either be Japan or Australia and I think it will be Australia.
Group G: France and Switzerland will advance. I want to see Togo do well, but with the news about their coach resigning I think there will be too much distraction to actually do well.
Group H: Spain and Saudi Arabia will advance out of this final group.

I haven't really examined what the potential set up of the quarterfinals and semifinals will be to say how that will play out. But I think the teams to beat this year will be Portugal, Netherlands, and Brazil. If forced to pick a winner I'm going to go with the Dutch.
I'm still definately all out rooting for the United States though, so I guess they are technically my first pick to do well.

Underdogs and Cheaters

I hate Argentina. I love the underdogs. It must be a philly thing, I got to watch the first half of the Trinidad and Tobago game, but not the second which turns out was actually the better half. It's awesome that they played so well and held up the draw against a team they were picked to lose against. I hope they continue to play well and it will be a lot of fun to watch them.
Right now I'm watching Ivory Coast losing 2-0 to Argentina. Ivory Coast is the great team that Bono, I, and the rest of the world want to see win. But nope they are probably going to lose to the most hated (my opinion) team in the world. Argentina is a team full of cocky, cry babies with ugly hair cuts. Argentina will take a dive and go down to the ground if anyone touches them. Just watch any of their games. Someone gets tapped on the shoulder and they go down like their career is over. Ivory Coast just had a PK taken from them in the 69th minute. An Ivory Coast striker was legitimately fouled in the box, but no call. If you don't believe me about the taking a dive thing watch any of the Argentian games, watch any of the Argentian players when the play in the professional leagues. They are all poor sports and I hope they don't make it out of qualifying.
Well enjoy the rest of the World Cup. Can't wait for Mexico vs Iran on ABC HD tomorrow.

GOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLL

I have had a revelation that came my way from a friend of mine. I'm sitting here watching the World Cup match between Germany and Costa Rica and my buddy tells me to watch the game on Telemundo. Such a good choice. The annoucers are so excited and get so loud for every exciting move. Reasons to watch it on Telemundo:
1. "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL"
2. Better picture of the game than ESPN 2
3. A couple second delay on the ESPN 2 channel, so you'll see that amazing goal like 3 seconds sooner.
4. Their loud voices at all oppurtunities.
5. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
6. It's Telemundo so you'll see hot spanish chicks on the channel after the game is over.

And with that the first game of the World Cup is over. Germany beats Costa Rica 4-2. Costa Rica showed they were a good team with a chance in this world cup. They fought back after the early goal and looked they had a very legitimate shot to at least get a draw most of the game. Germany in front of the home crowd was just too much though. They made some great oppurtunites and took some great shots.
O well Germany won and I don't know how anyone is going to be able to root for Germany this world cup. I dont even have to list the reasons why not.

Baseball

Phils lost tonight. I didn't catch any of the game because I was working but looking at the boxscore the Phils because of a blown start by another starter. I want Eude Brito (A-ooo-day BRE-toe) to play well because i like rooting for the young guys. But he is his line from his first two starts.
06/08/2006 4.2IP - 5 H - 4 ER - 3BB
06/03/2006 4IP - 9 H - 6 ER - 2BB
Maybe you could say he's learning his way in the majors or whatever, but i dont care if this is only june right now we can have these kind of performances from a player who has never proven himself. The Phillies need more dependable starters and that's the bottom line. If the Phils are going to go anywhere this year they need some heart and starting pitching. Gillick can only do so much to get them heart, but the starting pitching is his job and he needs to come through. Eude Brito ain't gonna cut it to make it to October.

In some other news, Gary Sheffield of the Yankees will be out until likely September. With Matsui already out for the Yankees let's see if the rumors keep increasing about a trade involving either Abreu or Burrell.

Also everyone needs to get out a vote for their favorite Phillies players or for any players in the league who deserve. Ryan Howard and Chase Utley better be there for the All-Star Game and if they aren't I'm going to blame YOU.



P.S. World Cup starts tomorrow, can't wait.

Eagles Movie

The Eagles are getting a movie. A Disney movie starring Mark Whalberg at that. It's going to be about Vince Papale, who somehow made it onto the Eagles team at the ago of 30 years old. Click that link or this link to read more about it. Basically its going to be a good ol' Disney movie coming out just in time for football season and its going to focus in Philadelphia with the team being the Eagles. I'm excited, it'll be a lot of fun.

Jason Grimsley

Let me start with some good news first. The Phils won their 4th in a row tonight. Ryan Howard homered AGAIN, he's third in the league in the homers. Forget Jim Thome (though I loved him) Ryan Howard is the real deal. The other Ryan, Ryan Madson, pitched a stellar game, giving the Phillies a chance to win. The Phils offense has picked it up recently as well, with Sal Fasano and Jimmy Rollins both homering. The Phils now stand at 3 games back from the Mets with their game against L.A. going on now. I'm excited for the games next week against the Mets when we may have a chance to gain a lot in the standings.


Now with the bad news. Jason Grimsley has been caught using HGH (Human Growth Harmone), a form of 'steroids' that is undetectable by current drug testing standards in the MLB. Not only has Grimsely supposedly been caught red-handed, but he also has apparently given up the names of many players he played with. The teams he played with in his now finished career (the Diamondbacks released him) include the Yankees, Royals, Indians, Orioles, and Phillies. Yes steroids in all forms are bad for baseball and it needs to be fixed. I haven't really felt bad though about past players who have been admitted steroid users. I have yet to have the feeling that I have been cheated by players of the '90s who may have actually been cheaters. Here's the catch though, now apparently Grimsley could have implicated my Phillies of the early '90s into steroid allegations. That really pisses me off. There's almost nothing I love more in sports than my '93 Phillies and everyone should know why. If I were to find out that any of my lifelong favorite players from 1993 were actually cheaters it would be the worst baseball travesty that could ever happen. I don't know if I would be able to forgive baseball.
I still love the guys from that team and I think they were the greatest without any steroids or illegal boosts, but if it turns out that they were illegal shit will hit the fan and baseball will be in trouble.
Bottom line: baseball needs to clean itself up now and find all the loopholes of the cheating system. More importantly though baseball players need to have some class and learn to play the game without.
Good Night

Who to Root for in the World Cup

I found this interesting piece about who to root for in the World Cup from this other blog. Its pretty funny and some of it is definately good points of who to root for.
Check out the post here.
I'm not as big a fan of England just because I'm such an Irish guy, but I agree with rooting against Argentina and Germany. Argentina is a bunch of bastards, you'll see why if you watch 5 minutes of any of their games.

Here is a more complete blog where the guys have previewed every world cup team in a legitimate and slightly humorous way. Some of it is worth reading if you are looking for world cup stuff, it is also has a lot of good links to other sites in their posts.

ESPN and ABC look like they are going to be doing a great job of covering the World Cup even if their announcers wont be in Germany. Every game is being shown live on one of their channels? If that is actually true it will be awesome because then I will be watching every game possible.

Well continue to get ready for the World Cup and don't forget about those Phillies tonight, let's see how Cole Hamels does tonight is his return. I gotta study some Chemistry before I go to work. Peace

Juggernaut

Because I can post it, and because I know you want to watch that video.

Damien Rice

Damien Rice, the Irish singer/songwriter, is finally coming to America. If you have not heard him, he's great. He's coming to the Tweeter Center July 28th with Fiona Apple. Not much of Fiona Apple fan enough to want to pay money to see her, but Damien Rice is so great that I'm definately willing to pay and put up with her to see him.
I'm looking to see if anyone wants to buy a ticket with me in the reserved seating. The reserved seating is the same price as the lawn so might as well buy those tickets and we can hang out on the lawn or in our seats. I know Charlie will be going and most likely other people. Let me know if you want to go.

Other Concerts:
6/9 - moe.
6/27-28 - Dave Matthews Band
6/30 - Phil Lesh and Trey and Mike - almost definately going to this let me know if you are
7/11 - String Cheese
7/28 - Damien Rice
7/29 - The Black Crowes
8/10 - O.A.R.
8/12 - Bela Fleck

the only ones there i'm getting tickets for now are Phil Lesh and the Damien Rice, let me know if you want to go to any of the other shows and I'm probably be down to go with you. Also, if you know of any other shows that might be good let me know.

Tom Emanski

Royals Hire Tom Emanski To Teach Them Fundamentals Of Baseball

Read that article as if it were not an article from The Onion. I read it and thought it was completely plausible until the last line. That's pretty sad for the Royals, but ehh theres always a horrible team every year, this year its them. The Royals should take on the team that wins the college world series, it would probably be a good game. College kids will know fundamentals.

The Phillies should hire Emanski to teach their pitchers a thing or two. I didn't watch tonights game cause i had work, but from the sounds of it we need a complete starting pitcher overhaul (except for myers).

Bye Gavin

Gavin Floyd - the starter - is done, sorry bud, but you just can't cut it.

Dear Pat Gillick,
Get us some more starters.

Love,

Detroit Tigers... Car Trouble

The Detroit Tigers finally beat the Yankees tonight in the final game of the series. The Tigers are legit this year. They have the best record in the majors this year. The lost to the Yankees earlier this week after coming back 5-0 to tie the game and lose in extra innings. Sounds like the Phillies, but instead of going on a horrible dropping-in-the-standings losing streak the Tigers tonight picked it up and went and tied and won the game in the bottom of the 9th. That's heart. That's a desire to win. That's what the Phillies need.
And Pudge Rodriguez. Any team with him is cool to me.

---

Never made it to the gym, I popped a tire on the van on my way there. AAA had me on hold for too long so I decided to figure it out myself. Got some help from this mechanic dude who was near by. He was real nice and basically did it himself out of the kindness of his heart. I didn't have any money on me, but I told him to come in to wawa tomorrow when I'm working and I'll hook him up. It was really nice cause I didn't have to wait for AAA and it was free. There are still good people in this world. I hope some good comes to that guy besides me just buying him some food and cigarettes. Don't know what else to do for him.

Summer School

Well, I started summer school yesterday at Villanova. Taking chemistry 1 the next few weeks. Every week day morning at 8 am until 10:20. It's a blast. I think I might be better off taking it at nova than at Hopkins but still it does suck taking a summer course every week day morning. It'll pay off eventually when next year and junior year I'm not taking anymore stupid, general, required classes.
After class I'm either going to the gym and then work or going to work and then the gym later that night. So yeah, my social life isn't much. And it wouldn't be much anyway with the fact that I have to get up at 6:45am.
School, work, working out, phillies, that's about it. And fitting in hanging out with some cool people when I can.

If you got any concerts you think I'd see with you, let me know I'll about going to some live shows, I just got to know a week in advance so I can get off. Also same for phillies games. And if anyone wants to offer me a trip down the shore for a weekend, that'd be sweet, let me know.
well I'm going to head to the gym so I can get back in time to watch the phillies late night game against the dodgers.
