Prayers needed

I'm gonna keep this short. My mother has to go in for a heart cath tomorrow morning. Basically, this is a procedure done to check if there's something wrong in the arteries.

Any prayers would be appreciated.

Got cha!!!

Oh my God! Skoo's white!!!

I dunno... just felt like playin around. It's cold, rainy, sometimes even snowy... and I just don't feel like doin' anything. Anyway, holla people.

Finally recouped

Took me a minute, but, I think I've finally caught my breath from college. I finished up classes on Monday and didn't really do much most of the week because, well... I could. If for some reason you were wondering how that monkey business below worked out, nothing spectacular, but, I got a B on it. As far as I know, both of my classes came up with B's, so I'm pleased.

Anyways, not much going on around here for the time being. Just sitting around watching the Colorado College/Denver hockey game. Since there's no NHL this year (sigh), I've adopted Denver as my favorite hockey team. So far so good.

Of course I'm watching the NCAA tournament, as well. I'm glad I didn't take the time to fill out a bracket this year cause it would be shredded at this point. Kansas lost last night to Bucknell (wtf is Bucknell?), so, my local favorite is gone (since there's no Nebraska, but what's new?).

There is more than sports going on with me. My aunt is coming down from Kansas City on Tuesday and staying up until Saturday where I'll go back to KC with her and my mom. The following day we're supposed to go up to a town in Iowa (can't think of the name) where my Irish predecessors settled. It's a history lesson I've been waiting on for a while. Not exactly a glamorous time, but, more like an enlightening one. I'm supposed to return on Monday and then Wednesday, it's back to class again.

On another note, I've been thinking about doing some things with this page again. The first is expanding it back out to have both a sports and a music review blog. I may also bring back my designs page so you folks can see some of the things I'm doing on the side of this. The other thing may take some assistance. I'd like to create a background with a picture of myself on the right of everything, much like rapper Common's site. It would be my way of personalizing this piece. Dunno, thought I'd throw that out there.

Anyway, yall be good...

Monkey Shit

See this little guy? This is what I have to create a web page around for one of my classes. I don't actually have to build the site, just the storyboard for it. Not really anything that I couldn't handle. Anyway, Ive basically done as much as I feel like doing here in class being that I can take this project home with me and play around with it tonight.

In any case, I'll keep you folks updated on how it's coming. I only have two days to do this, so, it's not going to be much of anything special. But, as soon as I get Paint Shop Pro back (that's a whole other story), I'll show you folks some examples.

Stay tuned... I plan on venting later on today.

Respect Due

The US Congress and George Bush finally did something I like. Today, they collectively awarded the late Jackie Robinson with the Congressional Gold Metal, the highest civilian award.

Many will know Jackie Robinson has the man who broke the color barrier in baseball during a time when baseball was king and racial equality was low. The continuous verbal abuse via ethnic slurs, physical threats, and even some death threats that Robinson withstood throughout his career is something that most human beings could not withstand and only higher signifies what Robinson meant to sports and American culture.

However, Robinson's influence was felt beyond the fences of the baseball diamond. He was one of the pioneers of the Civil Rights Movement often speaking with the likes of Dr. Martin Luther King. Though he was not alone in this fight, nobody could imagine the amount of courage it took to partake in the movement unless they were there themselves.

It's only right the man was respected in the way he was today.
