Quick Update

I promise that I'll catch up with the NFL picks. Consider week 3 our bye week. I've been super busy lately. Here are a few updates on sports and life. Word to your mother.

Football
The Raiders actually look like a football team. Sure they still suck, but they're at least watchable (well, everyone except that punk ass DeAngelo Hall; he's just moved ahead of Harvey Williams long ass neck and Aaron Brooks on my list of most hated Raiders of all time). They're 1-2, but if it weren't for Hall's inability to earn his fucking keep (who decided he was worth 7 million fucking dollars anyway?). Fuck DeAngelo Hall, that's all I'm saying.

Baseball
Fuck the Dodgers. I hope they crumble this final week and the Diamondbacks snatch the NL West back from their punk asses.

Basketball
I desperately need it to start. I ain't too proud to beg.

School
All of my professors have conspired to give me several hours of reading to do every fucking night. I'm pretty much behind on my reading already (only the second Monday of the quarter!) and I'll have a test on every Tuesday and Wednesday night (on the reading that I'm behind in!). My GPA is either going to be above a 3.5 or below a 2.0 this quarter. There will be no inbetween. I better catch up on that fucking reading.

Editor in chief
So far I feel completely unprepared for the position. I'm responsible for way too many people and I don't have the time to be responsible for them right now (behind on my reading!). I've re-learned that I could possibly be the worst public speaker alive (um...) and I don't know as much as I thought I did (um...) and (um...) these first couple of (um...) weeks are (um...) going to be brutal. The first edition of the paper comes out on Wednesday. Hopefully it doesn't come out shitty. Well, it won't because there were a few good stories, but shit, I want to be sports editor again.

Chuck Klosterman
I bought his new book, Downtown Owl, the day after it dropped (like that shit's an album or something). This may have been the dumbest mistake of my collegiate career. I keep wanting to read it knowing all of the other shit I need to be reading (like the shit I'm behind on!). I'm only a few chapters in but the temptation to pick it up is forever nagging. If you have free time, and if you're a fan of his work (because, unfortunately, I don't think this is a book you can appreciate unless you're familiar with his writing style) I suggest you go pick it up as soon as possible. It won't disappoint.

Phil they made you E-I-C!??!! DUUUUUDE!

That is way to much fucking work for any individual, much less one that doesn't care about CSUB's Chicano Club and their annual fundraiser in front of Donahoe Hall.

Good luck man, I wouldn't wish that position on anybody. I am going to start blogging a lot more (I say that - but actions speak louder than words).

Only one team looks worse than your Raiders - and that's my Lions. But we fired Millen, so things are looking up!

I haven't been this happy since we drafted Charles Rogers!

LOL it's ridiculous how many people are celebrating about the end of the Millen era. My roommate, who's a die hard 49ers fan and could care less about the Lions sent me a text message when he found out and it said "1/3 of all NFL evil is finally leaving detroit." When I asked him what the other 2/3s was he said it was Jerry Jones and Al Davis.
