I realize this is old news for many of you, but I thought it was worth mentioning that Amanda and I have decided that she’s far too attractive to be dating me. I kid, I kid. She decided. Okay, fine. Our break-up was a totally mutual thing and didn’t have anything to do with the fact that [...]

Okay, look… over the past, oh, 24 hours I have seen dozens of away messages, facebook groups, events, and so on lamenting new facebook. Ignoring that some of these folks might just not like the look of New Facebook — something which makes very little sense to me. The mini-feed you can minimize and that [...]

I don’t think I wrote anything here ahead of time about the beer pong tournament we had on Friday… the night is a little fuzzy, but I think everyone had a good time. Here’s the recap, as best I can remember it. Two kegs, around a liter of hard liquor, several six packs of beer, and [...]

The 2006 ESPYs were good to the Tide family. Not unexpectedly, WR Tyrone Prothro won the award for play of the year… and why not? It was the single best catch in the history of the game. The Immaculate Reception has nothing on The Catch. See for yourself: Best. Catch. Ever. Alabama Alumnus Shaun Alexander won two [...]

Yesterday’s Practice Today’s Practice There are a lot of neat pictures in the group from today… like… Me getting owned by… someone taller than me and someone shorter [...]

Facebook, everyone’s favorite time sink, recently (?) added a new relationship status. This new status is “It’s Complicated.” Curious to see what sort of losers would actually put that in their facebook profiles, I did a little search. It returned the answer that “More than 500″ people at IU have “It’s Complicated” as their relationship [...]

So… a few days ago I finished my first semester of law school. This morning, I graduated from the University of Alabama with a B.S. in Computer Science. This, I have come to find out, is not the normal order of things… but hey, I’m now offically an alumnus and UA is officially my Alma Mater. So… [...]

Roll. Damn. Tide. When ‘Bama went up 14-0 in the first five minutes, I was leery… Florida has shown flashes of brilliance at times this season, and Meyer has shown that he can score points. It was way too early to start celebrating, or so I thought. At half time we were up 24-3 and I was [...]

My private loan for next year — how I was going to be getting almost half of the money I need to go to school — was rejected because it lacked a cosigner. This, for those of you playing at home, is bad news. It’s especially bad because it’s so late in the game. Why did [...]

Would you all like to hear a funny story? I bet you would. The story starts a few weeks ago when I went to register for my classes. I went by the CS department to have an advisor sign off on my one class so that the system would let me register. She registered the class [...]
