Yeah, Its Back

First off, I'm back. Slight delay in posting but there is no reason to panic.
So is winter. How do I know?

1. I have worn my hoodie way too much the past week.
2. Walked out of Pysch today to darkness. At 7. Ugh.
3. Bought Chapstick today. Dry lips. Such a nuisance.
4. I don't want to leave my three blanket layer of protection in the morning.

5. And the good reason. I watched some Hoosier basketball on Sunday.

It was a busy week. Wait. It has been a busy semester. A quick, but oh so busy semester. I've already had to register for my classes next semester. And maybe I should probably be putting thought into where I want to live next year, or what I want to do for spring break. But you know what, I'm not. And I'm okay with that. There is plenty going on constantly to take my attention.


School is always there. However, I'm sure you all know that the IU basketball team has taken the majority of my attention. I went to see their first game of the exhibition season this weekend, and it seems rightfully so. This is not your last years Hoosier basketball. This isn't 11 point half time scoring.

No. This team is explosive. This team is raw talent. This team has unlimited amounts of potential. It's Mr. Basketball Eric Gordon. It's DJ Whites leadership. Its talented frosh. A deep bench. It's slam dunk in your face front court and its drive or shoot the deep ball backcourt. Hoosier basketball is back and I'm going to be there to see it all.

If you thought I was excited last year, hear me talk about the potential for this year. Who knows, maybe the beach won't be in my spring break plans, but instead Indy to see us in the Big Ten Tourney.

To kick off the season I will rank the games I am most looking forward to:
1. VS Kentucky Dec. 8...The Wildcats come to Assembly Hall for a potential Top 10 faceoff. Self explanatory.
2. VS Illinois Jan. 8...Eric Gordon came here. Not there. We have to rule the roost in our Assembly Hall. Huge Game.
3. VS Michigan State Feb 16...Would be 2, but we didn't get tickets to this game. Most likely to determine who wins the the Big 10.
4. VS Connecticut...They will most likely be a Top 25 team then. Huge non-conference during conference season.
5. VS Purdue...Rivalry. Underrated Purdue team. 10th Row Court seats. Looks like a damn good time.

So now to back story news.
Halloween was on a Wednesday this year, meaning me and Kiernan dubbing it a 12 day weekend, Thursday to the following Sunday. It didn't quite play out that way, but we had a killer week of Halloween celebrating. There were plenty of parties to attend and plenty of slutty girl costumes. But beyond that, there were tons of creative, awesome, hilarious, etc costumes.

So my favorite costumes...
1. Three Hole Punch Jim (from The Office for you who don't watch. Shame on you.)
2. His buddy, Dwight. The guy just had it down.
3. Matt as Tourette's Guy. (watch YouTube Tourette's guy if you are lost.)
4. Tomb Raider (yes a girl with a great costume. Spot on with the costume. Skin, but not slutty.)
5. I'm gonna be conceited and put me at here. Wario got some mad props all week.

Other random news:
- The Hoosier Football team is bowl eligible. Not for sure bowl bound, but this is a huge step. First time with 6 wins since 1993. Oh happy day. With Northwester and Purdue remaining, bowl aspirations are still very much alive.
- I really like the new Matchbox 20 song. Rob Thomas is much better in a band then by himself.
- I bought Guitar Hero III last week. Its badass.
- I hate the clock change. So primitive. Can we get rid of it already.
- Theresa is coming to Bloomington on Thursday. So a shout out to a sister visit to rival the brother visits. Haha.
Looks like I won the quickest visit to a brothers respective college. Hooray me!

That's all I got.

I'm a Wario! Im'a gonna ween!

I was very glad to go to your blog and see you had posted something new. Not that I didn't like the chimp in the pumpkin. Sounds like you have a lot going on and all of it sounds good.
