Hopefully I'll get a few things done while I'm here. I need to fix this site so that I don't have all of these errors anymore. I'll also be cleaning up my photography site so that it looks a little more professional. As of right now it's just a patchwork of ideas. Hopefully I'll be taking a few pictures while I'm here too.
Expect a few more blog updates over the next week and a half. Portland can be a little boring sometimes.
My next step is to try and fix all of the errors that pop up all the time.
I'll admit. I haven't always been a NCAA basketball fan. I didn't have a team to live and die with as they went for it all in the national championship. I didn't spend my weekends in March in front of the TV checking my bracket for the latest upset.
But now I have a team. The Aggies will be in it as a #2 or #3 seed and I know that we'll either win the national championship, or I'll spend one weekend absolutely crushed.
It sucks to know that I'll probably spend a weekend disappointed, but can you imagine the excitement if we won it all? University Drive would have to be shut down because the students would be running wild from northgate into the streets. Even I (the cheap one) may have to buy a round for everyone.
I couldn't find the Vegas odds on our national championship, but even the women's team has a 25 to 1 chance to win it all. I know I'm getting a little too worked up over this but hey, there's a chance.
So who's with me? Who will live or die with their favorite team? My couch better be ready. I'll be there for most of the month.
I started calling around, and it turns out that my friends are spread out around the world. I have a few friends up in Houston, College Station, and Dallas. Jessica is about to be in Austin. A few of my friends are skiing up in Colorado. Some are gambling in Vegas, some in Florida (I think), one in Ohio and I even know a few people in Italy.
Whatever happened to hanging out in Portland? Haha. If I had the money I'd be out of here too. Travel Safe.
Oh, looks like I might've finished that too. I have a few cosmetic things I'd like to fix on the photography site (like adding more pictures), but other than that I'm happy with how things have turned out.
So now it's back to life as normal. Let me know if you see anything else that needs to be corrected.
Today is Brent's Birthday, so everyone wish him a good one when you see him. Maybe even go out and buy him a beer. Have a good one man.
It's good to finally hear some good news about A&M. Usually it's the other way around. If the slightest thing goes wrong on campus it's national news, but we rarely get recognized for the things that we do right.
We're the #3 seed in the south bracket, but few are talking about #1 Ohio State and #2 Memphis as much as they're talking about #3, The Fightin' Texas Aggies.
So here's to a great game against Memphis tonight in San Antonio. BTHO Memphis!
It'd be ok if there was some action in the game, but the way it is now there's just so much dead time. Pitcher throws the ball...ball one! Now let's wait 20 seconds til the pitcher and the batter get ready again. Next pitch is a strike. 20 more seconds. Next pitch is a ball. More than a minute has gone by and the count is 2 and 1.
By this time I've changed the channel. It's only the second inning, I just wanted to see the score and the all-star future hall of fame batter only has a 30% chance of getting a hit. I'd rather watch a south park re-run on Comedy Central.
I guess I'll have to start the countdown til football season. Only 6 more months.
This was my type of game. We won 13-2, but I only saw the last three innings. You can find my pics by clicking the following link.

I'm looking forward to the weekend. Willie Nelson will be there along with a bunch of other country singers that I don't really pay attention to...Aaron Watson, Pat Green, Cross Canadian Ragweed, and Jack Ingram.
I'll be there mostly to have a good time with the roommates and some of the old Portland people. See ya there.
