sometimes i wish i just fit the mold. i mean hillary fits the mold, guilliani fits the mold, europeans fit the mold, but i guess i just dont. I mean unlike hillary i know what it is to be called the n-word. i played football for 4 years.... i heard it every day. I have been passed up by a taxi b/c of my nationality when i lived in korea. I aint rich, i am white (ill give you that jeremiah), but i wouldnt call myself priviledged. but i guess im happy to say that there is a reverend down in south Cha-town that will endorse me for president because i dont fit the mold, just like barry hussein obama. anyhow moving on to bigger and better things, DUB 3 won their second game, ever! we beat some punks on saturday by 3 points which means that we get to play in the second round of the playoffs now! i got a really sweet block on this kid. i was standing on the edge of the and this kid (he was maybe 120 lbs) comes charging into the lane and as hes coming, i get set right in his way and he comes barrelling into me and next thing i know hes on his back on the ground, trying to remember what day it was. BOO YA! i was set and everything, but once again not getting the charge called on me! imagine that! but it was fun and we actually won so i was happy. next game is coming soon, ive been practicing my dunk! well its getting late. and i think ive said all ive wanted to say. i hope it stops snowing. that will be nice.

econ review

so its been a long time since i posted here, so i hope this next post is worth the wait! Today i had to go to a review for my big Econ midterm this week. as i was walking to the jfsb i ran into a bunch of friends i hadnt seen for a long time and chatted with them, including my buddy addi who was also going to the review. so we walked to the review together and when we got there my other buddy alex had saved us a seat, so we went and sat next to him. this is when the trouble started. i dont know where our conversation took us buy it eventually led to my sticking my finger in the nasal cavity of alex. the rest of the review went downhill from there. being the studious student i am i naturally listened and paid attention while my buddy addi kept snoozing next to me, so i took it upon myself to make sure he was awake for this. I mean THIS IS ECON!!! its not like its some hfl test, this is important stuff! so i made sure he was awake by poking him repeatedly and asking him if he was awake intermittently throughout the class. im pretty sure on more than 18 occasions the whole class heard me checking on my friend. anyhow as we are struggling through this econ review, the heat of about 250 people is getting much to much for me to handle! so i raise my hand and ask if we can open some doors because "my marginal willingness to sweat is just getting outta control" to which i got some laughter and some kinda nasty stares. anyhow the doors are opened and life is able to be sustained once again in b190 JFSB. so the TA keeps going on and on about econ and how to deter drug dealers and prostitution, using terms like "a kilo" and "crack" and "powder" and "turning tricks" (okay maybe not that one), but she keeps us pretty entertained. when she starts talking about externalities she asks a question about how to find the dead weight to which i respond "taxes".... she was a little confused.. as was i obviously.... well i guess unless you've taken econ that would be an obvious wrong answer. anyhow the review goes on (this is a two hour one, its ECON for goodness sakes!) and she eventually calls on me, saying "hey you in the blue shirt what is the relative price going to be?" to which im not sure how to respond seeing how im wearing a gray shirt with a blue and green tie... but the whole sweating class (by then even the open doors weren't preventing the class-al warming of the jfsb.... maybe al gore should make a power point about that) is staring at me and so i answer " higher?" to which she smiles and says that is correct! boo ya! anyhow i dont know if i could possibly put the econ review in words enough to describe the sheer hilarity that it was. its too bad addi missed it cause he was sleeping so much. come to think of it, he may still be in there sleeping, or possibly baking if the doors are shut.

Dealing With BYU's Homeless

almost everyday i see homeless people on campus. they usually reside in the jfsb. on more than one occasion i have been walking down the stairs to get to my 8:00 poli sci class only to find the stairwell blocked by a sleeping homeless person. she looked well dressed and she had a backpack, but for all i knew she was homeless. who else sleeps in the middle of where everyone walks around. as i got to the basement i saw the hallways littered with homeless people, mostly girls, sprawled out, covering themselves in their homeless abercrombie and fitch jackets, probably dreaming of finding 3 quarters so they could buy something from the vending machines. (the jfsb might have the best on campus, by the way... its a toss up between the hfac and the jfsb) anyhow they arent only in the jfsb either. try walking through the benson building and you'll see hordes of homeless sleeping under the little displays about president benson, nestled into their little alcove clutching their homeless person biology book. pretty disturbing if you ask me, all these homeless people sleeping all over the campus of the Lords university. and today i saw something so sad i almost cried. a homeless guy had made a ball of snow and was eating it between the swkt and the science center.... i just felt for the guy, he had sunk so low he had to eat snow off the ground (probably where he would be sleeping that night..) anyhow the homeless person lounging around campus problem has got to stop. i just dont want to step over some sleeping homeless person on my way to new testament, i dont think its very christian of them to make me do that.
