Oh the Possibilities!

I'm an ideas man. I come up with ideas, ponder about how awesome they could be, and then usually write them down and toss them to the side. That is not to say I don't do anything; just that I never do all that I could do. There are varying reasons why I don't do some of the things I think of; but that is for another time and place.

The weekend is here again, and the possibilites are endless. The weather is gorgeous and people are excited about life again with the arrival of spring. I, myself, have been making the most of the arrival of the best season of the year. (I have debated this long and hard, and its official: Spring is the best season) I have been outside everyday, playing some type of game or another. Since the coming of nice weather I have participated in soccer, basketball, football, tennis, and when the nigth falls we head to the SRSC for raquetball. My next goal is a tan. Ha, like that will happen.

So with only a month left of school (WOW, that was quick) I have begun to think how I would like to enjoy it. And as always, make a list of the things I hope to do with all the free time the summer brings. Next week, I will be going home to Louisville for Easter and to get some things for Matt while he is up here. Then I hope to make a trip to Illinois to once again party with the party people of Champaign. Then, its the college weekend of all college weekends: the Little 500. And I don't see how it could disappoint. Both Greg and Matt will be coming down, the weather shall be beautiful, and the festivites plentiful. I'm sorry if you have to miss out on it.

If I could plan summer to start out on a certain day, I don't think I could have picked it better than how it will occur this year. My first day of summer break 2007 is May 5. This year, that happens to be the first Saturday in May. And every Louisvillian knows what that means: Derby Day. What makes it even sweeter is that I have never attended one. For the first time, I will be in the infield to witness the Greatest Two minutes in Sports. The day every Louisvillian lives for.

From there, summer will be filled with fun and money making. Here is a short tentative list of things I hope to do over the summer. Yes, I know it will not be possible to do them all, and what is a summer list that doesn't have something left undone. But if you would like to help in anyway to see that they get accomplished (mainly the giving of money or time..haha) I would greatly appreciate it. And, also, if you would like to partake in any of them, all you have to do is let me know.

- Muhammed Ali Musuem
- Cookouts
- Fishing, Trips to the Lake
- Cedar Point
- Sky Diving
- Visit Chicago and Greg
- Bethesda and Theresa and Jeff
- Dave Matthews Two Night Concert in Indy
- Minnesota (Jon already promised a trip to the Mall of America...)
- Beach

So there is the short edit right now...

Hope your spring is going as damn well as mine is.

Spring Has Sprung, A Campus Awakens

The view from my eleventh floor window has always been quite nice. A birds eye view of the entire campus, with the library in the distance and a setting sun next to it almost every night. Now, the window is open, the breeze is amazing, and the view is better than ever. That is because spring is here. Green is returning, the temperature is rising, and the sun seems a bit closer. And, a sleeping giant has risen from his slumber.

That giant is thr IU campus. It is downright amazing how the winter makes this huge campus seem so empty. But ever since I have returned from spring break, it seems as the 30,000 students have finally shown up. People congregate outside like its going out of fashion, or was perhaps banned by the freezing temperatures of the last couple of months.

The tennis courts are full, as well as the basketball courts. Woodlawn has multiple games of frisbee, soccer, and football and the couples lay on the grass of Dunn Meadow and the Arbereteum. It only gets better from here as the flowers bloom, the trees become full, and the temperatures reach to the 80's. Thank god, Spring has arrived.

I have taken full advantage of the weather with some frisbee, basketball, and soccer. The weekend is here now, which means only more of the same. The best time of the year is here, take advanage of it. Soon all you will want to do is sit by the pool. Oh man, how hard that will be.

If you are looking for a good time, stop on by Bloomington. I garuntee there will be something to do. If all else fails, Little 5 events start this weekend. Oh, Happy day!

Spring Broke

So tomorrow begins my first spring break as a college student. All those crazy stories of trips to the beach will have to wait atleast one year, however, because I am broke. Guess that's what happens when you go to college. I'm not complaining though because I am excited to go home, be with the family, and see some friends.

So back to Louisville I go. If you want to see me, you know where to find me. I'm always up for a good time, or just a good old fashioned conversation.

If I start thinking about the beach, all I have to do is think about last year.

In Case You Missed

I don't have the time to make it to CNN often, but today I made a stop...and too bad if you missed it. These were the headlines at 6:09.

Mom wants back little kids that smoked pot.
Boy dies after tooth infection seeps into brain.
Wife strangled, dismembered.
Rats chem off nose of baby sleeping in crib.

Disturbing to say the least.

March Madness Moved to Assembly Hall....

...I wish.

If that was the case, the Hoosiers would undoubtedly be crowned national champions come April, as the home season came to an end last night with a 94-63 crushing of Penn State to cap off a perfect home record. The Hoosier faithful entered the Assembly fifteen times this season, and not once did we leave without witnessing a victory. Though their play has been quite lacking on the road, I can say I am extremely satisfied with the home season. I just hope we never lose at home my entire time here.

The season featured many highlights, including this final game which had signs that the Hoosiers were ready to make some noise in the coming month. It was senior night, and unfortunately we had to say farewell to Rod Wilmont, my favorite, Errick Suehr, and Earl Calloway. The game was just one that was fun to watch, as all of our buckets were falling and all the seniors got highlight moments. The Hoosiers rained 17 threes while shooting over 50% from beyond the arc. Very fun to watch.

- The highlight of the home basketball season was the victory over then ranked #2 Wisconsin Badgers.
- The game against Michigan was amazing. Front row seats, a lead the entire game, and painting up! Amazing.
- The rout of Purdue always feels good.
- Greg stopped by to watch a rather boring, but nailbiting Illinois game.

It was a good season, an awesome closing, and heres to hoping March goes well.

Go Hoosiers!

I Work Well When I Enjoy What I'm Doing

Lately, I have been doing some very cool, in depth, interesting projects in art class and I am definently sure, if I enjoy what I am doing I do very awesome work. Compared to the bullshit projects at the beginning, I am very satisfied with my effort and the product of my work. I will be getting bach 2 peices I really love on Monday and I will post them up here.

In the meantime, I have reintroduced myself to Photoshop and Illustrator as to prepare myself for the Graphic Design classes I will be taking for many semesters to come. I've done some really cool stuff I think as I find all the awesome features these programs have. Here are some for your enjoyment....let me know what you think.
