Things are going swimmingly here in Alabama (pun definitely intended). It seems that Tropical Storm Isidore has been causing some trouble down along the gulf coast, and we’re definitely feeling the side-effects. It’s been raining for a few days now and it’s only going to get worse. Looking at the forecast, it seems that the [...]

For those of you who aren’t keeping up, or don’t care, the NCAA still sucks. They upheld all of the sanctions. Their basic response to our appeal: “Yeah, we know, but we’re going to punish you anyway.” The big problem that I have here is that they have no basis for the severity of the [...]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ARA! My little sis is celebrating a birthday today, of couse, this is not news for anyone who reads this website, as she’s shamelessly plugged it for several days now.

Well, well, well… [Ry] and I headed on out to Outback for dinner tonight, as I was really craving steak. The dinner was fairly uneventful, but right as Ry and I had finished with our dinners (what we were going to eat of them anyway) a six-legged friend scurried onto the table. It was a cockroach. [...]

I know what happened a year ago today. You do too. I’m not going to rehash, or refresh the memories that need no refreshing. I’m not going to take this opportunity to pimp the war, or bad mouth the president. All I want to do is point out that, while so many things have changed, [...]

We’ve all been brought up to believe that we should vote. It’s part of our national responsibility. The government is of the people, by the people, and for the people… so we’ve gotta participate, right? I disagree. Our civic duty is not just to be a voter, but to be an INFORMED voter. If you’re not [...]

I hate the NCAA. For starters they have the most absurd set of rules in the world. The rules can’t be enforced and when they are, they’re enforced so unevenly that you have to wonder if the people in Indy have money riding on the season. First off, let’s be very clear that Alabama’s current probation [...]

Today, while walking through a building on campus and then later while I was eating in the Student Union (known to students as the “Ferg”) I saw a girl whose name I know, with a fair amount of certainty, to be Andrea. When I met her freshman year, however, I didn’t have quite as firm [...]

If you don’t live here in Tuscaloosa, you might have guessed that I fell off the face of the planet. Of course, it’s not true (to the supreme disappointment of some). I’ve just been quite busy. You know, actually going to class and studying makes class a lot easier, but it sure does cut down [...]
