I Don't Know What the...

Well, I've decided I just don't know what the hell is wrong with me. Couple weeks ago i hit my head on the wooden leg of a couch and didn't worry too much when I had a headache for a few days afterwards. Then this past Friday I fell out of a chair and think I hit my head on the ground. Now I've had a headache for a couple of days and have been kind of out of it. So I don't really know what's up with that... Now I do have a reputation for being a hypochondriac, which is why I think that I might be overreacting... maybe it's just a passing illness that happened to hit me at the right time. Coincidence... possibly. Tomorrow if I don't feel better, it's off to the health center for me.

The Struggles Continue. We are Burning Late Night Oil As We Speak

STUDYING IS GOING NOWHERE... TRYING A DIFFERENT TACTIC THAT I LEARNED ABOUT EARLIER IN MY ENGLISH PAPER... IT IS 4:45 AM AND I AM BEYOND TIRED... I'VE ALL BUT GIVEN UP... WINTER STORM WATCH SATURDAY TO SUNDAY...

Figure I'd switch directions. An idea was proposed by Gallup... basically you should work on your strengths rather than working on your weaknesses so you can play to your strengths. I am a strong writer... 

History Grade Waning with Snow Chances for the Weekend

And just after midnight I start studying for history... the exam is at 8 with a breakfast at 7 am. I have four Sobes remaining in my fridge. I will spread those out over the night so I can stay awake and study to the best of my ability. We'll see... maybe I will do a clutch move for the fourth time in the past two days. Yesterday (Thurs) I pulled clutch moves thrice... on two exams and a paper. Both exams mattered a lot, and I destroyed them... in a good way. The paper was due before Friday and I finished it at 11:45 pm. These clutch performances hopefully continue tomorrow with my History exam. It's going to be difficult but I'll try my best.

As for snow chances this weekend, do not count on them. Best shot is for a miracle to happen, but I think we'll go mix to rain to mix or snow. Not that much to worry about, but as usual, I'll keep an eye out on it all. After all, the dusting to one inch forecast for the clipper turned out to be five inches here in College Park. Who knows?

Good night, Maryland. Maybe another update as I burn the midnight oil.

Disrespect, My ASS

So I'm the target of controversy this week for putting up a "controversial" Facebook photo of one of my teams winning a game. Okay, so I'm partly a Bills fan, and they beat the Skins after Sean Taylor was killed. So I'm going to be happy because one of MY teams won for once. Let's get this straight...

I RESPECTED THE MAN AND THE GREAT FOOTBALL PLAYER THAT SEAN TAYLOR WAS... REST IN PEACE #21

So after the game apparently I held it over everyone's head by wearing Bills stuff and putting up a picture of the game winning field goal. Christ, people, I can't like a team now? Why is it when someone says or does something it is wrong? Do folks honestly think that I was being disrespectful for liking a damn team? So I took down the "offensive" picture, which did not depict Sean Taylor or anything like that. All it showed was the Bills celebrating after a win. That's it. Nothing showing any disrespect towards Sean Taylor. Now my question is this. If this would have happened to my favorite team, the Titans, and the Skins would've beat them by one... I know exactly what I'd be facing right now. It would be hoots and hollers from all the Skins fans... including the ass hat I ran into the other night. That is another reason that I was happy the Bills won, because that asshole deserves a loss after what he did. That incident could be considered assault, and he's lucky some bigger people weren't with us when it would've happened. Because he would've gotten his shit fucked up. But anyway, folks, do not hate me or get pissed at me for liking a certain team. Jesus Christ, can't I just be my own person?

Early Monday

High winds and power outages later today! Bring 'em, I got four classes to get through!

Other than that, I have nothing really to say. I'm hoping the upsets and the karma to evil football franchises can continue, with hopefully the New England Patriots losing later on today to the Baltimore Ravens. Even though I'm not the biggest fan of the Ravens, I absolutely despise the Pats and want to see them go down. What would also be a nice turn of events would be the Pats running up the score and a Raven laying a hit on Brady causing him to be injured. He'd really deserve it for the cheating and the running up the score.

Goodnight, Maryland!

A Slight Flub... 6 pm Sunday

Forecast was a little off... it did start as snow/sleet/freezing rain, but it didn't do as much as I thought. I thought I'd wake up to maybe a light dusting and some ice on tree limbs, but that never panned out. We'll see rain the rest of the way, and boring with that. High winds tomorrow and part of Tuesday... then Tuesday night the snow comes in with the clipper. Maybe a bit of rain first, but changing to snow with light accumulations continuing through Wednesday.

First off, that was a great win by the Titans to get right back into the playoff race. Jacksonville lost and Cleveland is down, which helps a lot. Also, the Bills upset the Skins which made me a happy camper considering the asshole of a Skins fan I ran into last night. He deserved everything and karma has come full circle and is really hitting me well right now. Of course there was yesterday's football game with the idiot who called me a bad QB and then threw a poor pass that was picked off, followed by me joking about him to a group of football players who laughed at said joke. If my phone was not broken, I would be feeling pretty darn amazing right now... hell, I already am feeling pretty great right now, but a working phone would make things 100%. I'm at 90 or so right now. I don't really want to ask for more karma because that would be selfish. Thank you, God, for these wonderful turn of events. The way things are going right now, I should sail right into Christmas Break.

I'm Getting a Bit Discouraged

Okay, so it's past midnight and I'm still not done with that English paper, but after looking at the latest model guidance, I'm getting discouraged. I do not think that it will be as warm as they show, but they've been showing that consistently, so I am getting worried. But what is interesting, and what excites me, is that after this storm, even if we get nothing, we appear to be going into a cold and stormy pattern, which is great. The thing is, if these models keep showing something down the pipeline, eventually something is going to come. The question is where, and with the cold air expected, maybe we'll get some snow around here. I'm sticking with the original forecast... starting out as snow or sleet, then transitioning to a mix, and then finally all rain, with the possibility (not probability but possibility) that it switches back over to snow. It all depends on how things fall together. I'd love to see everything stack up perfectly, but I just don't see that happening. Too many ifs. Next update tomorrow... hopefully morning, but I wouldn't put my bets on it.

Few Late November Thoughts

I'm getting desperate for snow after last winter's bust... and after seeing snow in Buffalo, I am ready!

Went for a swim this evening and realized that I am very out of shape. My plan, along with refusing to skip any more classes until the end of the semester, is to swim every single day. Today it was a 500 free warmup, 100 fly, and 200 IM. All of these were tough and had me on a few minutes of rest time. I will keep working on this set until I can do it without breaks. We'll head back to the pool tomorrow for another workout. But I was glad to finally swim after such a long break since July. I will keep plugging away.

Thought I'd post just before bed. Good night Maryland (oh, and Virginia, too!)
