After getting some sleep from my long weekend. I was read to watch some football. This week was deffinately underdog week in the NFL. Obviously Arizona beat Seattle because i picked Seattle to win in my football pool. Pretty much the only underdog not to win were the dolphins my favorite team. I have a pretty good strategy from now on. Pick the opponents of the dolphins for the week and either way ill win. Either ill win my pool or the dolphins will get a win. Can't beat that.
Sunday night was the game i was looking forward to. The Chargers and the Pats. Being a dolphins fan i hate the partiots because they are in the smae division and after last week finding out that they are cheaters now makes me hate them even more. The game was not that great because the Patriots blew them away. Basically this was a terrible sunday and nothing has gone right. However, i had one last hope.
The yankees were playing the red sox sunday night and was flipping back and forth between that and the football game. The yankees are pretty much the best team ever. They were tied in the 8th 1-1 when derek jeter hit a 3 run shot to put the yanks up 4-1. I thouht the game was over and finally something had gone right today. In the bottom of the 9th I was getting pretty nervous when Rivera kept walking and getting hit. Big papi was up with 2 outs and bases loaded down by one. If there was one player in the league that i did not want up to the plate in this situation it was him. Rivera got him to pop it up and jeter made the final out. The night ended well.

Roadtrip
After class was done on thursday i came back to my room for awhile. i received a phone call from one of my friends who goes to SUNY albany. He was home in syracuse for break and wanted to hang out. He had this wonderful idea of traveling across the state to see a few of our friends. He came down to pick me up and we left around 6 to go up to oswego for the night.
I have never visited Oswego before so i was pretty excited. The night was pretty good becaue i saw a few of my friends from home and we went out to a couple places. However, i had to sleep on the floor which was not comfortable at all. I got about 2 hours of sleep then we woke up around 8 and went off back to syracuse. From there we headed up to Canton NY to visit one of my good friends who has an apartment up there.
We got to canton around 1 and my mom came to pick me up to go have lunch with her and my sister because i havnet seen them in awhile. Canton is about 40 minutes from my home town so it was close for her. That night my friend was having a party at his apartment and fit about 40 people in his 2 bedroom place. It was packed to say the least but it was a good time. This time i did not stay in the floor but a chair was not the most comfortable place in the world.
Waking up the next morning with cell phones going off left and right i was dead tired. By this time my friend and i are living off fast food and energy drinks, not the healthiest but it worked out. leaving canton we were both dead tired, but had one more stop on our roadtrip. we then headed about 3 and a half hours to rochester to St. John Fischer. I have a friend there that plays on the football team and they were playing U of R that night. We got there about 6 and headed straight for the game. I could barely stay awake the rest of the night but ended up staying out until 430 anyway.
The next day i just wanted to get back to cortland so i could sleep in a bed finally. I have never been so tired in my life, but it was well worth it.

Glass Tower
When i was signing up for my dorm choice this summer I really hoped that I would get lucky enough to be put in Glass tower. Everyone i had talked to said it was by far the nicest dorm on campus. I finally received my room assignment in early august and i had been placed in glass tower. However, I wasnt really sure how my roommate was going to turn out to be. By looking on facebook before i got to school i didnt think he was going to be someone i would like very much.
Coming to cortland on the saturday before school started I finally got to see my room. Everyone in my suite was already checked in and moved in. The dorms were really nice..alot better than what i had stayed in at UB last year. My favorite thing about it is deffinately the airconditioning. Visiting other dorms i knew that it was worth it to spend the extra money to stay in glass tower.
It wasnt until my parents left that i met my roommate and suitemates. My suitemates are cool guys and they are actually from somehwere close to where i am from as well. However, my roommate is a totally different story. He wears nothing but black all the time and does nothing but play on the computer all day long. I guess he's not that bad because he doesnt bother me, but its just weird having him as a roommate. Either way everyone i have met at cortland is really cool so it should be a good year.

Kickoff Weekend
I had been waiting all weekend for sunday to come around so i could finally watch football again. This was the first year that I have got in a football pool that i have been helping my dad with the last few years. It's a knockout pool where you pick one team each week that you think is going to win. The catch is that you cannot pick one team more than once. So your indianapolis colts you might want to save for a week that is tough. I picked the eagles thinking that they would roll on Greenbay, because they have done just that the last 5 years in a row. Saturday night i met this girl who was a diehard Greenbay fan and i knew then that this was a bad sign and i should change my pick. However, it ended up being a long night to say the least and i didnt wake up until 230...and by this time it was too late to change my pick. To make a long story short philly muffed two punts and ended up losing the game in the last second. The girl i had met the previous night later showed up at my door with a cheesehead on and a packers jersey. It was a bad day. To make things worse my favorite team, the dolphins, lost in overtime to my cousins favorite team the redskins. Lets hope the rest of the season goes better than opening weekend.

the finale
last night i watched the season four finale of the best television show ever made which is entourage. it is by far the funniest show out right now. Ari is deffinately my favorite character on the show, without him there would be no entourage. I love it when he and eric get into it with eachother, ari always has something great to say. the moviestar lifestyle that is portrayed in the show is the exact replica of what i would love to have. i like the show because it doesnt jsut show the great times they have, it also shows you all the rough times they go through as well.
about the finale itself, i thought it was pretty good. it wasnt as funny as some of the others but the way everything unfolds at the end is pretty good. i love when drama gets pissed, which seems to happen almost every episode. His whole hotel situation about how he didnt have a room when he got there was great, but its good to finally see that viking quest finally gave him something he wanted. i had a feeling the way the episode was going that the movie premiere would turn out to be not good at all. even though it sucked im not worried about what they are going to do because the always turn things around.
What am i going to do sunday nights now that it is all over? i look forward to watching it every week and now i guess i have to look forward to the next season which will not be for awhile.
