The Big Game

The LSU VS Alabama was the biggest game of the college season. Every year both of these teams go at it. LSU ranked # 1 in the BCS rankings, and Alabama following at # 2 which made it the biggest game of the century. Another reason is that there in the same conference  which is SEC. They are also on the same side of the conference. LSU winning 9-6 saturday night was huge, and Baton Rouge is going buts as of now. This game basically clinched LSU a spot in the SEC championship game. The only team they have to beat now is Arkansas. The game was a battle till over time, when LSU kicked the winning field goal. There was not one touchdown scored in this game, only scores by field goals. This shows you how strong these teams are on defense. This was basically a championship game in itself. Both Alabama, and LSU have very explosive running backs, and can move the play with ease. The defenses are capable of a lot. They fly to the ball like wild men. These guys are hungry for success, and all want to make it to the next level of football. LSU must finish this year strong so they can make it to the BCS national championship game in New Orleans Louisiana

Wartburg College Social Change

Community Building is what Group I would pick. The program fits me perfectly. Activites such as Partaking mix it up day, participating on a sports team, help establish floor standards, and becoming involved in Hall council/ student senate. Helping the community is something I just love doing. Its that warm feeling you have inside of you, and it's not even for money or anything. It takes heart to do these type of things, and at the end of the day you'll feel great about yourself. Giving back to the community ha something I have been doing since I was six years old. It all started off with me working at my greek Church's festival. I work the whole weekend, and not even being paid a dime. But I would even want to be paid, I would honestly feel bad if I did. Every person in this world should be giving back to there community at least one time in a year. Imagine how much better the united states would be with everyone giving back to this world. In high school I was always the one to be involved in some activity. I was a eucharistic minister, spirit coordinator, apart in student council, and captain for both the wrestling, and football team.

First College Competition

My first College competition will be saturday the 12th at Luther college. I have been practicing hard, and I think i'm ready to prove myself in this conference. I'm really anxious, and really can't wait to wrestle my first college match.  My family is dieing to watch me wrestle, and also the fact that i lost 28 pounds since I been at school. The is the lightest I have been in three years, and I'm proud of it. I did the complete opposite of the freshman 15, and lost more weight than 15. I didn't want to end up the fat kid in college. Thats another good reason why I still wrestle. College wrestling is really tough, and you won't find to many easy guys out there. The style of wrestling is all about speed now. It's the guy they can move faster to score a takedown, escape faster, stand up faster. Well see how it goes for my first NCAA match, one thing is I will not go down without a fight. That's for a fact.

My High school football team

My old high school football team had a huge struggle this year. Being a former captain of the team last year, I still feel bad for the players, because I played with most of them last year, and I love those guys. There season ended friday the 4th. They only had 2 wins out of ten games which is pretty sad. The reason for me writing about this is because, Holy Cross High School has a rich tradition in wining football games. This year did not show that at all, and it really makes me mad think at night about it. I honestly think our head coach Barry Wilson needs to retire. He's a great coach, and a great person. I don't think he realizes that the style of football is changing a lot. I hope the under classes men step up big next year, and make next year a winning season. All the did this year is make me sick to my stomach.

My Trashy room

I had a very productive night. I cleaned out all trash, and did all of my laundry. My room literally looked like a zoo that two monkeys lived in. I picked up 30 Wal-mart bags, four capri-sun boxes, propel box,  random school papers, and cleaned my dirty desk.My time management lately hasn't been towards my cleaning. But at least I'm not letting my school work slip, so at least my time ha been towards that. Now that i cleaned my room, honestly I think i can breathe better. I will try my best not for it to get that dirty next time. It was almost was as scary as paranormal activity, it was horrifying. I need to be smarter. For this all to be solved I will find a girl here at Wartburg to clean my room. Now thats thinking smart, because I do know some girls that love cleaning. That would just be wonderful.

Thanksgiving Holidays

I can hardly wait for the thanksgiving holidays. It's been about three months since I have been in Iowa. This by far the longest I've been away from home. I miss my family, and friends. It's was hard for me leaving my home, it truly put me in tears. Going home will help me stay focused in school, and in wrestling . I basically have all of my plans planned out when I get there. I fly in tuesday the 22nd at 10:30 PM. My friends will already have a party join for me when I arrive in the N.O. Wednesday I plan on getting a hair cut from my barber Clint. He's been cutting my hair for 3 years, and he has never failed me. Thursday which is turkey day I am going over to my moms side of the family, and enjoy a great thanksgiving day with great family, and food. Later on in that day my friend mikey, and I will travel to Baton Rouge Louisiana to tailgate for the LSU VS. Arkansas game. LSU is a huge school, and plenty of my high school friends are from there. I have a lot of catching up to do with those guys. Then after friday which is the game, saturday I plan to just relax with my family, and friends before I have to leave again.

Drake's new album

Drake is my favorite rap artist, and he's super talented. His real name is Aubrey Drake Graham. He's is known for his transaction from singing, to raping. It's a quality that a lot of rappers do not have, and he's famous because of it. His new album "Take Care" is coming out november 15th, and i can hardly wait. His music puts me in the right mood every time. It helps me especially when i'm doing homework. His music motivates me always to do better than I can. Even his songs that aren't suppose to pump you up, still pump me up. My all time favorite song from him is headlines, if you ever have an extra few minutes take a few minutes to listen to it. I could honestly just listen to the beat of his songs there amazing. He is a part of young money, which is his rap group. He was originally known as Jimmy Brooks on the television series Degrassi: the next generation. No one will ever compare to his style of music.

Cutting weight

I'm in my third week of the wrestling season. I'm starting to get real drained,  all i can think about is chugging down water, and gatorade. But liquids put more weight on me than anything. I lost 25 pounds since i been here, and i'm really proud of all the work I accomplished. I only have six pounds to go until friday weigh-ins. I know those last six we be the toughest couple of pounds to cut for me. After weigh-ins its like your in heaven. You can finally eat, and drink what you want for a few days. It won't be as hard latter in the season my slow metabolism will finally catch up. I ask myself everyday why do I wrestle. It's more of a lifestyle to me now than anything. I do it because i love it.
