"Unhacked"

So I've "regained access" to my blog, so no need to create a new one..yay!

On a more serious note, I realized it has been awhile since I've had any blog that contained any "substance"...so...why not keep the trend going! =D

Some quick updates I guess. School has been alright. Would rather be doing other things, but its a blessing for me to be in school right now, and its where God has placed me, so just trying my best to do everything as a worship to Him. Workload has been meh...wasn't heavy at all the first couple of weeks so it kinda let me ease into school mode slowly. Things are really picking up now with essays, article/book review/summary due in the next couple of weeks. You might also be wondering why I'm blogging at like 3:45am, its because this is my first (and won't be last) all-nighter of the year. First mid-term exam in 6 hours, so I took a nap after class today, studied for a couple of hours, ate dinner and went to play some ball, and came back and plan to study until midterm tomorrow. Since the class is my last class of the week, I can relax and sleep in the afternoon tomorrow. This midterm is crazy, worth 25% of my mark and its a 20 question multiple choice..yikes! As you can see I'm nerding away as I type this...yeah right.

First "official" game for me with some of the guys up here in Kitchener/Waterloo. Bad conditions with heavy rain and strong winds. There was some thunder mix in there too, but managed to get in 6 innings. We got destroyed 17-2, but it was a fun experience. Our team is probably at the lower 1/3 of the league, while the team we played against was probably in the top 1/4, so there was no competition. It was just fun going out there, getting some exercise, and just having a good time. Hopefully next week the weather will cooperate a little more. Personally had a decent game, still not used to having 12 feet arch pitches and having to be selective with which ones to swing. Went 2/3 with a single, a double, a rbi and a groundout. Also played CF for the first time since Lumas 2004, nothing really came in my direction except for a few singles up the middle, which is a good thing, since the lights, along with rain on my glasses, add in strong winds, would've made catching flyballs alot more difficult.

Had an awesome time at the Jays game last Saturday, their third last home game of the season. Thanks Matt for hooking me up with the tickets. Went there with a friend, and met up with someone who works on Game Day with MLB.com. He got the whole package that every broadcaster/media personnel gets, and that package is a fantasy player's dream. It was literally an information overload when I was going through it. As an example, for those who know their stats, it contained stats for each player in various situations. No man on with 2 outs, no man on with less than 2 outs, runner is scoring position (RISP) with 2 outs, RISP with less than 2 outs, RISP with no outs, bases loaded with 2 outs, bases loaded with less than 2 outs, bases loaded with none out. And that is less than 1/5 of the package I received. Maybe I should find a job with a MLB team. I'm allowed to dream aren't I? =D

Last "exciting" thing recently was that I met "The Golden Jet" Bobby Hull last Thursday. He was in Toronto for an autograph signing, and I decided to go pay him a visit. He was a tremendous individual, a class act. He took his time to speak with each guest in line. Unlike many professional athletes and their autographs, he took his time signing, his signature was very clear, along with the inscriptions. The signatures of many professional athletes in today's world could barely be recognized. A prime example would be Alexander Ovechkin's. After his signing, you can only make out the A out of his entire name. I wish more of today's athlete would follow the "old-timers" tradition in regards to their signature, but thats entire story altogether.

With the MLB season winding down and the playoffs starting in a week, I might do a recap of how my picks did this year. Albert already ripped me for picking Detroit to finish low in the standings, but honestly, who would've picked Detroit to have the second best records in the AL? I really think this year is the years for the Mets to take it down. They seem to be the team that is the most complete, with excellent batting and pitching. A subway series is very possible.

Enough procrastinating...back to studying!

TTOW!

"Hacked"

Jeeez....I got hacked....shucks!

Laugh of the day

Came across this one, thought it was pretty funny. Enjoy!

Four students didn't study for an exam on the following day. They go see the professor in the morning and tell him that they were driving and one of the wheels broke off and they crashed, and they ask if they can take the exam the following morning. The professor agrees. The next day the four students are placed in four diferent rooms so as to prevent them from cheating. The professor hands them each a sheet of paper with a question worth 5%. The students glad they studied all night answer the question with no difficulty. The professor then hands them a second sheet of paper with a question worth 95%: which wheel broke off on the car?
