With Penn State football having a slow start on the road and against the Big Ten, its been two great weekends for my other active teams. The Yankees of course completing the season long trek and making their way into their 13th straight playoff appearance with a wild card berth (further making our chances better considering the last 5 World Series winners were Wild Card winners). Then of course the Raiders displaying a much livelier offense already scoring more TDs than all of last year as well they've ended two 12-game losing streaks (last week an overall 12 game streak and this week a 12 game road streak).

With the rest of post-season baseball to figure out, I for one am rooting for a Colorado-San Diego 163 game season hopefully with Colorado making their way in just for kicks. At least half of New York may have done terrible things to themselves (the three I know may have already) in wake of the colossal Mets collapse. hope the Cubbies make the season worth while. Arizona sucks dick. I'm not too sure who to root for in the Red Sox/Angels series.

In other news things are going just fine here. The bulk of my extracurricular work has finally subsided, still haven't gotten my internet back even though I've completed my end of the deal. I've got like 187262108762319621 tests and assignments this week so I'll be busy.

Happy October hours away.

It's good thing to have an outlet to let your mind speak. Two straight days of talking to this gorgeous chick (that I'm not the least bit interested in) bullshitting about how there are just people that you want to have nothing to do with (definitely not a great thing to talk about) as we watch for guys with nice calves (well she is, I just give approval).

In other pleasant news, I finally got my loan approved!

Its weeks like this where I kinda wish there were someone recording every bit of my life so that my friends and family could see what it is I've been up to. So here it goes: This week (with an ass-load of help) I conducted interviews for Lion Ambassadors, which some were really good and others just horrific. As Vice President thats the majority of my job, so at least the bulk load of my duties is out. Finally had my hearing regarding my pirating and got off pretty light, probation for the rest of the semester, an online lesson thing about being a good "cyber citizen" and a four page paper on why copyright infringement is wrong. Bid dinner for Kappa Sigma making the obvious decision to not let in the pale anti-social motherfucker (being that we ARE a social fraternity). Finally the beginning of Kegs on 2nd softball off to an 0-2 start being outscored 30-5 (at least in two games unlike the Baltimore Orioles).

It goes without saying, life is good.

• HAMBURGERS
