Sad

I just went to get some things off my chest right now.

Today I took a test for my Comm340 class. It deals with the principles of interviewing and how to conduct interviews. After taking the test today I knew I did poorly on it. There are so many times where I have taken a test and not done well on it and I have taken responsibility for it. I may not have studied hard enough or I did not put enough effort into studying. Today was a totally different experience. Today I knew the material but the test was not a normal multiple choice test. It was a short answer fill in the blank test. It dealt with a bunch of terms that had to be explained off of the top of my head. If this were a multiple choice test I know I would have done really well. I could not think of the exact terms and my mind went blank on questions I know I knew the answers to. I am just really depressed.

As I drove home in misery, I listened to a radio talk show and the opening segment dealt with the Philadelphia Eagles and their struggles. Ok the Eagles just lost 2 game they should have won. Chicago and Washington. It kills me knowing that we lost these games. We are in the most competitve division in football and sufferring two losses puts us out of reach. Only 3 of these 4 teams can make it into the playoffs and I will damn near kill myself if the Eagles do not reach the playoffs this year. Joke as much as you want, but deep down Donovan McNabb is an amazing quarterback, with all the talent in the world and he is a very outstanding leader. The Eagles and all of their fans expect Donovan to go out and have amazing games. It may not be every game but for the most part he is suppose to play above the bar. He has all the athletic ability in the world but when Andy Reid does not unleash the playbook and calls this conservative plays we are not going to get anywhere. I believe we can win with the talent on this team but when role players such as Greg Lewis and our incumbent TE L.J Smith drop passes it really grinds my gears. One more thing Desean Jackson you are one hell of a player. But you are young and you make rookie mistakes, and those mistakes are like a dagger to my heart. But, you can only get better and you are a very promising player. Please dont bust a Freddie Mitchell.

For some of you Charger Fans out there... LT is hurt, Gates is hurt, everyone is hurt. I personally believe LT is holding the Chargers back right now. His health issues do not allow him to do what we are used to seeing and we are trying to push him to get healthy. He is not young anymore. I also don't think they trust Sproles and/or Hester to carry the load for this team either. If Michael Turner were still here and LT was in this situation, I think LT would sit. Sproles in the man and I love him but I don't think LT and the Chargers coaching staff trust him enough, and thats why LT is still in the games. You know I hope I am wrong about all this because I do not want to see the Chargers lose. LT isnt the same. He is no Shaun Alexander and will not go from an MVP runningback to a dud. Michael Turner was a blessing and I am glad he has his chance to be a superstar in Atlanta, but he went for free which sucks for us.


Im sad.


On a brighter note, the flags I ordered for Flag Football came in today. Im excited. See you at WV on saturday.

Madden 09 is my best friend now.

After a month long fling with NCAA, I have realized that NCAA 09 has completely fucked up my Madden 09 skills. The controls are flipped around so much and the style of gameplay I have used in NCAA does not fit the style of play that I use in Madden. I find myself using bad habits and running around aimlessly. Enough with my complaining on why I just lost a preseason game... Ok Charlie Batch whooped my ass because I spent 6 seconds every play scrambling around with Kevin Kolb.

Overall the presentation of Madden 09 is superb and the grass on the field is the realest I have ever seen for a video game. The shine and finish on the helmets really adds a nice touch to the presentation of the game. As you take the field as the home team you really feel like you are in your home stadium. Unlike in previous years the only thing that felt like home was the off color blue and yellow shirts inside Qualcomm Stadium. I have only played one game so far, and from what I have done, I know I need to practice. I suck, and my madden IQ is low because I got owned on rushing defense and pass defense. I find myself frustrated with life and I need to shake the cobwebbs off from NCAA. I haven't blogged in a long time and my thoughts are everywhere and all this shit is really unorganized, but what the fuck no one reads this anyway. I pwned Willie Parker with a hit stick and the fuckin screen started shaking. My instant replay on the play calling screen is broken and Brian Westbrook is a beast. Overall I am satisfied with the quality of madden but I am really upset that I spent $96 on the collectors edition. I will make the best of it and play head coach until it breaks. The more I play madden the more I will forget about the cost. But one thing that has made me really happy about Madden 09 is they finally took new fuckin pictures for all the players. This has definately made me very happy. Ok thanks for reading and the rest of the year will be devoted to Madden. Fuck friends, madden is my best friend now.

One year of college left I will earn my degree in madden and pwn you with my minor in rushing attack. mothafuckas.

Sorry I found this

21's all over the place

Since school has ended I have been drinking twice as much as I did before I turned 21. Summer started off with a bang when Kristi and I met up with my aunt and uncle in the fabulous Las Vegas. Days of nonsense drinking that consisted of a yardlong plastic container filled with some nonsense frozen drink, $1 casino heinekens and a bottle of captain mo in our hotel room. Finally top it off with a tiny $10 frozen pina colada pool side and that all adds up to one fun vegas trip and beer shits every single day. My Vegas trip with Kristi ended with us seeing Taylor Swift performing a mini concert pool side at the MGM lazy river. It twas a fun trip and since then my drinking habits have been absurd to my standards.

I don't make money at work, gas is expensive, and drinking punishes my wallet. People are turning 21 left and right. In the span of a week David, Adonis, and Mark all turned 21. That all equals a bad liver, an empty wallet and feeling the wrath of Ant "the tank" Barbaran. Davids party was crazy, Adonis' party was crazy and Mark arranged a long trip to irvine that was expensive but fun. In all of these occasions I have been blessed with the presence of Drant.

Drant is my hero.

But in all seriousness once the end of June hits we are all fucked. I believe there are 2 june birthdays and I am very excited for this half month break we all have before the nonsense drinking begins again.


Some random notes:
Its cool to see people who are back down from school.
Tony is buff.
David now wakes up earlier then me.
No one is going to buy a ps3 except Roger.
Rising Moon and Honey Moon are gross beers.
It is impossible to find a job.
My current Job sucks.
Kristi comes in 2 weeks.
I need to go to the beach.
I don't think Judd's hair is wierd.
Nazer talks about throwing up like its nothing.
I need to blog more.

Back To Football

Recently I have veered away from NFL topics, and its time for me to return. Ten days from now one of the biggest events of the NFL offseason is going to take place. The 2008 NFL Draft begins next saturday. Teams have been doing their research and our looking for players who will be the future playmakers of their respected teams. Having a good draft can be good for a team on multiple levels. Teams can address needs through the draft that they did not address during Free Agency. Teams may have multiple strategies on who they are drafting and it depends what the status of their team is. Some teams like the Eagles are win now teams and they are looking for talent that can immediately contribute to the team and hopefully help them reach their ultimate goal of winning the superbowl. Teams such as the Dolphins have no hope to win now and are drafting for their future. Finally we have the young, good teams that are talented such as the Chargers who are looking for quality depth, looking for playmakers who can contribute now, and looking for players to be eventual successors to their playmakers who are getting up into their years. Draft day is a very exciting experience and it is crazy that kids who left college early to enter the draft are the kids who have graduated high school in 2005. These players are the future of the NFL and it is exciting to guess who will be the next Peyton Manning or LaDanian Tomlinson.

The San Diego Chargers

The Chargers are a very talented team on both sides of the ball. Their offense is one of the bests and our defense has very little holes in it. The Chargers could use this draft for a couple of things. One of their more important needs is Cornerback, with Drayton Florence leaving for Jacksonville we are only left with two quality corners, Antonio Cromatie and Quentin Jammer. Drafting a corner that can immediately contribute in our nickel package would be ideal. A corner such as Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie would be a great selection because of his tremendous size and his long speed is what the Chargers love. It also helps that the Tennessee State stud is also the cousin of fan favorite Antonio Cromartie. Some other positions of need that could be addressed during the firt round of the draft would be defensive tackle. We have a very young and talented defensive line but the key component of our 3-4 defense is getting up in age. Nose tackle is the anchor of this defense and the Chargers eventually need a player who will eventually succeed Williams and dominate opposing offensive lines. Finally Middle Linebacker is another position that could be address through the draft. With Stephen Cooper suspended for the 1st four games Matt Wilhelm will be playing alongside either Anthony Waters, Brandon Siler or newly acquired Derek Smith. We can never have too much depth at linebacker but losing Cooper and two unproven rookies would call for us drafting another linebacker who can also contribute on special teams. The Chargers have very few holes to fill but whoever they get will be a great addition to a very talented team.


Dominique Rodgers Cromartie

I will be adding some more analysis for some other teams in the upcoming days, please stay tuned.

My favorite beer

The past couple of birthdays have been pretty lame just because turning 19, and 20 carries nothing special along with it. But being the big two one is one of the most exciting things that has happened to me. Being able to buy my own beer whenever I want is just plain convinient. No more having to ask co workers and I also do not have to bother my friends to pick up for me. I am able to try all the beers I've wanted to try and now I can take my dad's beer without getting in trouble. For all the people who are not 21, I will gladly pick up for you just because I have to keep the circle of life going. I have to return the favors that were once done for me. Drinking a beer at a restaurant is also one of the perks to being 21. I enjoy an ice cold beer with my meal and I dont really mind the extra $5. By the way Claim Jumper happy hour is the shit.

Now on to my list:

1. Pyramid Hefeweizen



So sweet and refreshing.

2. Heineken Light



Perfect to chill on and is oh so tasty

3. Bud Light



The best domestic water beer

4. Corona



Can't get tired of Corona

5. Coors Light



Perfect for Beer Pong

There are so many beers I want to try but that means I have to work more. Beer is expensive sometimes especially if you want to try all the expensive ones.
