Last night the undefeated Duke University came face to face with the undefeated Ohio State University. No one suspected the young  buckeye team to deliver such a severe spanking to the blue devils. There was no doubt that Ohio State showed up to play. They took the lead early in the game and never looked back, Duke was struggling to keep up the entire game. Infact, The Duke coach was interviewed after the game and he admitted that "he was really just trying not to lose by 30". But nothing could save Duke from their loss, the better of the two dominated. Im happy to see that even though Ohio State took a loss to Michigan on the gridiron, they jumped back and demolished the third best team in the nation on the court.

Friday night was definantly a night to remember, i was at work and i was cutting cheese for the pizzas. I was in a hurried state and i accidently cut my hand. I left a pretty big gash and went to the hospital to get it checked out. I had to get five stitches to keep my skin together. It didnt really hurt too bad but i was more concerned about not being able to finish my shift. Right now, my hand is doing alright, i need to go back in a week and get the stictches out. Hopefully the cut will be able to heal by then.

Im really disappointed to hear that the NBA will not be having a 2011-2012 season. Im not sure exactly why, but i know that it has to do with the distribution of profits between the owners and the players. Its sad to hear that one of the most important sports in our country is being put on hold just because people want to be greedy. Many people along with myself look forward to every basketball season, and to hear that it wont happen at all this year is a huge let down. But, complaining wont change anything..so i guess its NCAA basketball for me this year.

Im debating on whether to purchase an ipad or not. Personally, i love the ipad, i think its a great product. The only thing that concerns me is the price. Five hundred dollars is no joke for someone my age, but i can afford it if i really want it, i just dont think its worth that much money.

Its friday! im so glad the weeks finally over, so now i can sleep in as long as i please. The date today is 11/11/11 and people seem to think that their wishes will be answered today. I know most people arent serious about their wishes but it blows my mind that some people really are serious. The numbers of the date dont mean anything, they never have, they never will...but everyone is entitled to their own opinion so believe what you want to believe. Just dont get your hopes up, something tells me you will be disapointed.

This i believe

Imagine if you were told that you are suffering from a terrible illness and that you have thirty days to live, how important would each day be to you? You would do everything that you have ever wanted to do, you would go on that life trip, you wouldn’t take that time with your family for granted,  you would tell that crush how you really feel, you would give life your all. That’s how I want to live. February 19, 2009 was a life changing day for me. I was in a tragic accident with another car in the middle of an intersection. I was in the passenger seat and my dad was the driver. We had the right of way, but an out of control truck came flying out of the corner of my eye and slammed straight into us. I had a fraction of a second to think before we made contact with the truck and so many different things went through my mind in that small amount of time. I thought that was end of my life, I thought that was it.

I never thought that my life would end so early, I always thought I would grow up and have children and die at an old age. For the first time in my life I came in close contact with death. I started to regret my life because I didn’t complete everything that I wanted to in this world and I felt helpless. Helpless because I wished I could do things that were so readily available to me before. I wished I could tell my mom I love her one last time. I wish I could be a better bigger brother for my little brother. I wish I could take advantage of all the time that I used to have on my hands because in that moment I had none, and there was nothing I could possibly do to change that. That moment was so powerful to me in so many ways, it truly changed my outlook on life itself.

I woke up in a hospital bed the next day not knowing what had happened. They told me I suffered a concussion and that the seatbelt saved both my life and my dad’s life. Even though my whole body ached, I couldn’t be happier. I felt like I had a new chance at life, and the whole accident was just a terrible dream. In my eyes, this was my chance to start my life over. From that day on, I’ve always made sure that I have a smile on face no matter what hardships I may face. Were all lucky to be alive, to be able to breathe, to be able to spend time with the ones we love, to do whatever we want in this world. Sometimes we forget how blessed we all really are. The simple fact is that life will pass you by whether you like it or not, but how we choose to live the rest of our days is our choice, and I choose to live them in the happiest way I can.

I believe in living life to the best of my ability and having no regrets when I’m lying in my death bed. I believe in accomplishing everything that I have ever dreamed of doing. We only live for a short period of time, and many people don’t live life to its full potential. When we look back on life, we notice that it’s only a collection of experiences. Now is our chance to experience the things we love, travel to places we’ve always dreamed of going, and simply live life. Don’t take life for granted, because we aren’t promised tomorrow. If you ask your grandparents what they regret in life, they will most likely tell you that they wish they could have taken advantage of their youth and traveled to the places they wanted, or spent more time with their loved ones. I don’t want to be like that, I want to make every minute count. I want to live like there’s no tomorrow.      

Life's pretty good right about now. Im happy to say that i dont let things that dont matter get in the way of my success anymore. Im too focused on my goals to notice, ive got my eyes on the prize and nothings going to shake my concentration.

This weekend was one of the best weekends ive had in a long time. I had the best combination of everything that i love to do during my free time. I barely had to work, i got to spend quality time with both my family and friends. I watched some great games over the weekend, both college and NFL. My favorite teams won and my rival teams lost, for the most part. Even though the weekend is over, it's set me up for a great week ahead of me.

A fourth of the school year has already passed and i beginning to wonder if our class will come up with a decent senior prank. Last years prank put class of 2011 to shame. Our class is capable of putting together a prank that will be remembered for years. I want to be able to remember my senior year and say that i was a part of a great senior prank.

Apparantly the school unlocked twitter, facebook, and youtube. Im happy that they finally came to their senses, but at the same time im not happy that they didnt allow us to access those sites for such a long time. I cant complain though, its unlocked now and hoefully it stays that way.
