College life
College life is great. I only depend on myself, because thats the only person i can depend on. Of course I miss some stuff back at my high school but i lived those times up too my fullest. I will not be gaining the freshman 15 due to me wrestling 20 pounds lighter than I am right now. For me it's a new beginning, and i can get a new start, in a new state. As of now i'm making friends, and i'm loving the iowa atmosphere. No one has given me any trouble yet, and i hope i don't run into any trouble. The fainting goat, and Joe's knight hawk get packed on the weekends, you really can't even walk in Joe's. I dance till i get sore, and I almost regret it in the morning. The best part of my college life is i have no parents. No longer can my parents sit there, and nag me. I do miss them but being on my own is awesome. My roommate and I love it we sleep in as long as we want, but we do go to class, and take care of our grades. Me, and him have a big future ahead of us. I would eventually want to get a house off campus with a few of my buddies. In college they load up the work, but they barely give any test witch is good for me. I literally have three or more paper's a week, and it kind of sucks but i get over it, and do it. I definitely don't want to be a drop out, and become a bum, like a lot of people do. Hopefully all of my teachers are liking me, and if they have a problem i'll see it in my grade. After College i want to own my own business, or possibly maybe even be a coach back in Louisiana. First thing I want to achieve is passing my first year, then from there I can achieve more goals.
LSU Football
My favorite football team is Louisiana State University Tigers, A.K.A LSU tigers. They are undefeated on the year, and they have the vision to go to the national championship. They are 6-0, and they are # 1 in the bcs rankings. There first game against Oregon they were picked to lose, and they were ranked # 7 behind Oregon. LSU's strong defense of power gave them no chance to take the lead. Jarrett Lee the new starting quarter back is doing incredible right now. He was actually second string until the starter Jordan Jefferson got in a bar fight, and was suspended from the team. Jarrett Lee took the rains of the tigers, and is taking them to victory. One of my buddy's is starting on the offense as a true freshman. If you ever get to see Odell Beckham ask him if he knows Stephen Kleamenakis. LSU with the top ranked Defense in the country is destroying there opponents. They really scare the other team when they play them. Tyran Mathiel from my home town New Orleans is getting looked at for the Heisman trophy. I have a 10 dollar bet with one of my wrestling buddy's that LSU will beat Alabama. If you ever wanna bet against LSU let me know. Just warning you, you are making a mistake.
Steve Jobs
It was a sad day on October 5, 2011. The owner and founder Steve Jobs died, the day after the iPhone 4s was released. In a youtube video he has him slipping out of his chair during a business meeting. He died from pancreas cancer. Which he had back in 2004, and actually had to take a break from work to get a liver transplant Viewers say that Jobs actually died October 4, but his death was kept a secret due to the release of the iPhone 4s, and they didn't want any problems with the release date. He was a hands on demanding leader, and was very intelligent. Jobs was actually fired from his own company, by the board of directors, conflicting with his partner. He then went on to start pixtar, and made the movie toy story. I think it's amazing to start an 88 billion dollar company, I wish i could do such a thing. Steve Jobs was married to Laurene Powell Jobs, and they had three children. Then Jobs went off and married Lisa Macintosh, which they also had a kid. Jobs always cherished his family, and tried his best to keep his kids out of the spotlight. Steve Jobs didn't even finish college. He dropped out of Reed College to start building computer with his high school buddy in the garage. This was the start of apple creating Apple 1 computer in 1976. He mad the biggest change for this world, and he will never to forgotten ever. Just by him inventing the iPhone he made billion. I think the iPhone was his best product ever. All of my friends back home all have iPhones, and i don't know what they would do without them.
Wrestling Season
My wrestling season begin's this monday October 10th. Wrestling is my life i've been doing it since the 7th grade. Wrestling has shaped me into the person I am today. My best friend Mikey Guillory, and my brother Matthew Kleamenakis talked me into wrestling after hurricane Katrina. It was a rough time for me, and i think wrestling help me get over it some what. If it wasn't for them I would be playing basketball, I couldn't even imagine me now. Wrestling if you ever watch is a really tough sport, and it takes a lot of discipline, and dedication, it's rough on the body, and it puts you in the best shape of your life. In high school i was a 4x all state, 2x all-metro, 4x state placer, and I am 2x state champion. I was also ranked top 20 in the country as a freshman. I love the sport, and everything about it. It's so competitive, and challenging that's how I'm drawn in. I started getting recruited as a junior in high school. There was about 5 different schools interested in me, including Princeton, and Navy. I was almost definite about wrestling in college by the end of my junior year. It was Wartburg that caught my eye the most. You would wonder what is a Louisiana boy doing in Iowa. People back home would look at me crazy when I said i'm going to iowa for school. Honestly it's the people that made me decide to come here. Everyone is so friendly, and caring. I have never been treated so well by random people. Wartburg has a rich tradition in wrestling. They have 19 consecutive conference titles, in the past 8 years they have 7 national titles. Thats just amazing to achieve that. Coach Miller only excepts greatness, and he strives for perfection. I plan to become a big part of this team, and also become a national champion one day.
Sick Of Being Sick And Tired
I'm sick of being sick, and tired. Literally this whole weekend i was sick, and would sleep for half of the day. I feel like the biggest bum was of now. You'll usually catch me at Joes, or the Goat. But i've been taking medicine, and i'm starting to get better. Our whole wrestling team starting last week all got sick. Me being sick i feel stuffed up, weak, and tired. What i'm most worried about is how i'm going to do all of my homework, and also to mention we start the wrestling season Monday. There's nothing more I hate than a common cold, they ruin your day no matter what. I wish there was a bottom to press to get rid of it. I feel that i'm always fighting a cold every time the season change. There's a good reason why it's called the common cold. In the united states there is over a billion colds in just one year. The sickness occurs when the virus is released by a sneeze, cough,or when someone blows there nose.It's the most common illness for any human.

The weather
The weather in Waverly is crazy. It's never the same each day. It's either really cold, windy as hell, or its cloudy. I never seen leaves fall in the fall like this place. The colors of the leaves are changing thats how you know it's about to be freezing. I have to admit though when it's a pretty day it's a pretty day. When those days come it's never to hot, or never to cold. I honestly seen snow once in my life, so I'm in for a long winter. I'm from Louisiana, and the coldest it gets if were lucky is 30. I know here it will get below zero more than 10 times this year. I'm worried about not being prepared. Thank God wrestling is a inside sport because if it wasn't you wouldn't see me on the mat. Everyone i heard from said iowa has the worst winters, and i wouldn't doubt them one bit. I know i'm going to love the first day of it, because as soon as i see my friend Kenny he is getting a snowball straight in the chest. I've already warned him.
