Quick Update

I am getting senioritus! I am so excited for this school year to be over and to be leaving home. It's super exciting to me that I have no real idea what my life will be like in 10 months. I received my Moody letter yesterday, but am waiting for my parents to get back on Friday to open it. If I get accepted there, then I have been accepted to all of the colleges that I want to attend; The Master's College, Biola University, and Moody Bible Institute (feel free to add a comment to give me your opinion on where i should go). Besides deciding on college i am enjoying life. Two weekends ago i went on a snowboarding trip to June lake, and it was super fun! I rode on my first box and went off my first jump. This Saturday I am going to Biola for a conference. Life is fun...

College Choices

So this weekend my college choices were switched around. Going into my weekend visit to Biola University my choices for college were clear cut; Moody Bible Institute first, then Biola, and then The Master's College a distant third. However, after spending the weekend hanging out in dorms, meeting new people, laughing at stuff that wasn't funny, and experiencing life on Biola's campus, Biola became the number one choice. The only problem left is how I can afford to pay the 35,000 dollars a year tuition fee. I will have to pray for awesome student aid and some help from God to get me enough money for me to attend. If I go there I will major in Biblical Studies.

Go Kings!!!!

Today I am celebrating the first victory of my Sacramento Kings. Last night we defeated the Memphis Grizzlies 100-95. The score also looked much closer than the game actually was; a late surge from the Grizzlies helped the score look respectable. We are still a disastrous 1-4 but our rebuilding efforts have not been in vain. Martin scored 33 points and Hawes was a force in the paint, as well as making two threes. Though this year may not be our triumphant return to greatness, but that time is coming to the present very swiftly...

Fantasy Football Update

I am in second place in my fantasy league at this time. The only person in front of me is my former youth pastor, although he does have a substantial 1,000 point lead on me. By the way, my Jay Cutler prediction (see past postings) was right on the money.

Thoughts on Obama Victory

Alright, you all know that I am a Republican and would have loved to see McCain win last night. But I know there is no changing what has been done, so instead of complain about the past, I'll complain about the future. Just kidding. I believe Obama is a good family man and I love the history made by the first black president, yet I don't agree with an inch of his policies. The next four years will bring America as close to communism as possible without being communist. Take all the money from the rich and give it to the poor ("Spread the wealth around" -Barack Obama). Our Supreme Court will become full of liberal judges, who will further the killing of unborn babies (some call it abortion), destroy the definition of family and marriage (some call it same-sex marriage) and limit fundamental rights (gun control, speech).
Yet there is a silver lining. Here in California Prop 8, banning gay marriage, passed. And of course the best medicine to every problem is to know that God is always in control; and He knows what he is doing.

Fantasy Football (Week One)

So my week one results in fantasy football, while not exactly what i wanted, was respectable. I currently have three teams; one salary cap football and two draft leagues. Most important to me is the salary cap football (on sportingnews.com) because i must battle with my family (and geology teacher) for supremacy of the league; and trash talk from this league carries on all year long. This past year my dad one by two points, an almost unspeakably close margin. My mom won the year before (that was an embarrassing year), but i have yet to be victorious. This year i aim to change that (or at least be in the hunt, unlike the past few years) so i did my homework. I took Jay Cutler (due for a breakout year) and the always reliable Tony Romo as my quarterbacks, my running backs were equally reliable as i chose Frank Gore and the punishing Marion Barber, for wide receivers i was short on money so went out on a limb and grabbed second year Ohio State alum and punt returning Ted Ginn, Jr. as well as grabbing a steal in a second option panthers wide out D.J. Hackett for only half a million; for defense, even shorter on money, i settled for Kansas City. Romo, Gore, and Barber performed amazingly; getting more than half my points by themselves. Ginn and Hackett, however, were less-than-stellar and both got less than one hundred points. Kansas City (helped by the Tom Brady injury) held their own and gained a respectable one-fifty. Jay Cutler has still to play tonight on ESPN Monday Night Football. As for my league, i am currently in seventh place, although the only one with a quarterback tonight and if Jay Cutler gains more than 200 points (a most probable outcome) i will be in the top three. Starting off the year well!
