Class of 2011

I got my acceptance letter yesterday from Texas A&M.

After 4 years at Midwestern State, I'm excited to attend a Division I university that people are actually happy to attend. I can't wait to get down to Aggieland and enjoy a real college experience.

Bonus: I won't live in Wichi-titty Falls anymore. Whoop!

Safety Video

If you took a science class in high school or college, you have probably seen this video before. Fast forward to around 4 minutes for some great unintentional comedy.

It's Baseball Season

That's where I will be TOMORROW. It's only going to be for an exhibition game and there is a chance of precipitation, but I'm going to be at THE BALLPARK IN ARLINGTON. I would rather be nowhere else.

I love winter. I love the cold. I love watching the Dallas Cowboys play football (and it was nice to watch them play a few extra games this year, but that discussion is for another day). But for me, nothing beats that feeling that comes around every March/April when I can't concentrate on anything besides the start of the baseball season.

It has been 11 years since the Rangers have been to the postseason, but this time of year presents a youthful optimism that simply cannot be duplicated. It's our year. The pieces are in place. We deserve a pennant. One thing for certain is that this will consume my life for 162 games. See you in October. And I hope its closer to Halloween than Columbus Day.

Rangers in 2010!

Old

I feel very old today.

I'm not a morning person by any stretch of the term, but I do enjoy having productive mornings every once in a while. I was done grocery shopping by 10:00 this morning, and then I went and purchased a suit - a suit that I will be wearing at my Grad School interview next week. This afternoon, I will take said suit to a tailor that I know on a first name basis.

Needless to say, I haven't seen anybody under the age of 45 yet today.
