Rugby

Am I going to be large enough to play Rugby? I would say NO. Am I large enough to play at Rugby that answer is an overwhelming YES. I had a blast with my first practice. I had no clue what was going on but to be honest it really felt like no one knew what was going on. I was very grateful for friends that that help push you to do things that you don't necessarily think you can do.(Josh and Pat) So I will see you guys Monday, for another practice of the VCU Rugby Club.

Oh, quick note I am 5'10 and 155 pounds when wet. The power of friends.

It's Real.

It is real. I've been there and seen it with my own eyes and took photos . That you are now seeing with your own eyes. On the internet. Thank God for the internet. May we never leave our homes again.

I wanted to write about this a long time ago

When I was in New York for Designism a few weeks ago I heard a lot of people talking about what we can do and what we should do. There was even talk about how nothing is really being done. This was Designism 2.0, it was to be an answer to the question left after the first event of were is the action? Again the event was 99% talk. At lest I thought.
While at this event I had the great fortune of meeting Paul Lavoie from Taxi president of the ADC and I thought for just a moment that this is just more talk. But, a week later I found out about the 15 below project that Taxi is doing for there 15 th anniversary.
Go to http://www.15belowproject.org/ and decide for yourself if these guys are all talk.

I give up

I just give up. What am I saying? I can't give up. Oh, that's right, there is nothing I can do because it is a football game that has already been played. Now that I mention it I am not on that team. Even if I was I would not be able to catch the ball. All I do is purchase the "team gear" online and yell at my TV late into the night.
In the end I and hundreds of thousands like myself are so invested in there team and are powerless to effect the out come. All the fan can do is talk. That is all we have. Well, that and gambling our rent money away. Never bet on your team...love gets in the way. Just to wrap this up, all the fan has is talk and in sports talk is cheep. So if your a real Buckeye fan go turn a car over and start some kind of soccer like riot. Action speaks louder than words. GO BUCKS.
Just kidding Mom, please don't break anything.

We can win.

I have found faith in this the last hour. We can win! All I have heard is how LSU is going to have this home field advantage, they are the better school, and Ohio State has not played anyone. Living in the south right now, I just have to hear from everyone how the south is so much better than any team in the Big Ten. I am tired of hearing it.
So I am putting this up at the last minute to just get it out of the system and if the lose I am going to have to take this off. But, you all know if we win you will all never hear the end of it. GO BUCKS!

What to get when you exchage your gift

"Listening is an act of Love" by Dave Isay is great exchange gift this year. I have found this not only interesting but, it gives you tools in how to record your own family history.
These stories are so simple in that everyday people are giving there insight on the world around them as they grow up, face challenges, and just live there lives.

But you don't have to take my word for it.

Times Square ball goes green?

I kept seeing over and over this past week about how the new ball for Times Square's New Eve event is going green.
The revamped ball is covered with 9,576 light-emitting diodes, or LED bulbs, that will use the same amount of power as 10 toasters or one oven. But the lights will be twice as bright as the mixture of incandescent and halogen bulbs used for last year's ball.
That is great to hear that they want to go "green" but is it really going to offset the amount of waste that is generated by the crowd that gathers to see this new "green" ball.



As revelers headed home early Monday, the first day of 2007, work crews moved in to sweep up the remnants of 2006. Their mission: picking up 3.5 tons of confetti (a record-setting amount), as well as sandwich bags, food wrappers and other debris from the big bash.
