Football

Today we had lunch in Joe's Knight Hawk. We had lunch there because the football team is 10-0 and they were doing the play off selection. We found out that we had to play Bethal first round. Bethal is from MN and in 2003 Wartburg beat 27 to 7. Hopefully we can beat them that bad this year but you never know till it happens. NCAA rules say that in play off games only 52 people can dress. Im not to mad about this because I can't get in the game anyway because one of the players on our team has the same number. So instead I will stay warm and sit in a Clinton dorm room and watch the game in the warmth and also watch whatever other football game is on TV.

Nervous

Tomorrow I have to give a speech for oral communications. Normally i am not a nervous person, but I am actually nervous for tomorrow. I don't know why. Maybe its because it I am worried about not doing good. I know I have to do good because this speech is worth 80 points. I feel that I have prepared well enough to do well but I am still nervous. I also am pretty relaxed about things in life and I don't like to dress up, but I have to, tomorrow and I am not looking forward to it. Tomorrow will be interesting.

State of Fear 2!! The Media crap!

After I read this book I thought back to what it was talking about. How certain people were trying to influence media to help their cause, and I think about now days, where everything is related to media, especially politicians. This year I didn't vote on november 2nd, one because I was to busy but this is irrlevant to the point. The second reason is that I saw the pointless add campain they had. It showed how bad the other person is and what horrible thing wrong that this person did. It never once said what they were going to do besides the opposite. How do I know that the opposite is right or even good? But all the politicians think that bashing the other guy is the right thing. Well in my eyes it makes the guy doing the bashing the bad guy. I know what has gone wrong in our country.... for the most part anyway, besides all the government cover ups. I want to know what this next person will do in office. But they never say out right, its just talk.

State of Fear

As I was reading this book I was unsure of global warming, I mean I heard people talk of it and how it is way bad but I never had hard evidence to prove it. This book is kind of helping my thinking out by saying yes it is a possibility but not as a severe world threat that is about to destroy the world. When I was reading the book it told me that only little changes have been documented, I know some small changes can cause massive changes down the road but these changes can't be proved that global warming caused them. They could be caused by natural climate conditions since no one knows exactly what the climate patterns are. So I am still unsure of global warming. I think it needs to be watched and governed but not as a mass crisis problem.

Luther

This saturday we played Luther, our rival. The Wartburg Knights were 7-0 coming into this game so we have a lot going for us. We started the game of very well our offense marched right down the field and scored. But after that Luther just found a way to hang on. Our defense didn't give up any points till the end of the 1st half on a hail marry pass that bounced of one receiver and landed in a another hand. Our coaches gave us a good pep talk in the locker room and we came out and scored, but Luther was still hanging on. It was only 24 to 15 in the 4th quarter. Near the end of the 4th Luther scored a field goal to make it 18 to 24 Wartburg. Luther tried to onside kick and they kicked a great onside kick except that the kicker didn't kick it into the ground first. Because he didn't kick it into the ground first we could fair catch it. When our receiver signaled fair catch they couldn't touch him. The only thing was he didn't attempt to catch the ball so they shouldn't have given us the fair catch. But they did and we kept the ball and ran out the clock. and we WON!!!!

Babysitting

I am a football player, and MOST not all but most of the football players drink. I am one of the few exceptions to this stereo type. Even though stereo typing is bad I believe this stereo type is true. Any way back to the story. I was just sitting in my room attempting but not completing my homework on saturday night when one of my friends who also wasn't drinking asked me to go with him to Joe's. Being bored out of my mind and not really accomplishing anything on the homework side I said yes. This was a bad idea. Two of my friends decided to get drunk and I was with them to make sure they got home safe. I know I could have stayed home or even left them but I didn't. Once Joe's closed and we headed home. When we got into the dorm hall, things started to happen. One of my friends decided he needed to think, in the middle of the hallway. He just sat there and did nothing. After about ten minutes of thinking someone called my other friend and was crying. Then one on the floor heard this and said lets go. He then took off into the middle of clinton field. Unfortunelty someone let him in and he headed to some girl who was crying. After about a half hour of slurred talking I finally convinced him to come home where he then said he heard a ringing which no one else heard. Which was quite entertaining. After that I finally convienced him to go to bed and that was the end of my night.

Social Change Wheel

On the social change wheel, I think I fall into the direct service catagory because I like to help kids when I get the chance too. But I don't go out of my way just to help people so I could probably do more to help them. I also think I am part of the Socially Responsible Dailly Behavior, by reyceling paper and aluminum, etc...But that is also about it. I should defienently try to change my ways but it is very difficult with the limited schedule with football and school and my job. I would like to change the way I am, and I think I could if I conciously make the effort everywhere I go.
