Last night I stayed up late doing my biology review for my final test. The test is Wednesday and then we turn around and have our final exam the following Monday. I got about half of my review last night done. Some of the questions I remembered from lecture, and others I didn't have to foggiest idea as to what the answer was. Im sitting right on the border line of an A and a B, so I need to make an A on both the last test and the final exam. I feel like I know the material well for the Test Wednesday and should do well. For the exam, I am kind of afraid. It is comprehensive so it involves everything, including the stuff this semester I wasn't the best at, which was the cellular respiration and photosynthesis test. There was so many little things I had to remember that I just could not. I had the general idea, I mean I knew what cellular respiration and photosynthesis were, it was just tough. Anyways, this week and the weekend is going to be full of studying.

A man rode into town at about high noon. He was looking for another man and he was going to shoot him down. I had his six gun strapped around his waist and his rifle in his hands. He wore his hat down low and his his spurs glistened in the over head sun. He went straight into the heart of town, and walked into the old saloon. He found the guy he wanted seated at the bar. He called him out, told him they had a dispute to settle. The man got up from the bar with his drink in hand. He said he would be outside to fight in five minutes. The man that had come in the saloon walked out to wait outside. When the gentleman from the bar got outside, heated words started the fly. A crowd had assembled to watch the showdown. The men were yapping and hollering and the man from the bar drew first. The other man was quicker however, and shot the him right in the chest. The man from the bar dropped to his knees pistol in hand. As he feel forward in the dirt dead, the other man put his pistol back in its holster, and mounted his horse. And just as soon as the man had arrived he left. He had settled his dispute and was never seen at that town again.

I played Halo till five in the five in the morning last night, it was splendid. I can just sit and play and time just flies by. Like hours go past and it feels like a few minutes. I get so consumed with the game that I completely lose track of time. It is tons of fun.

Last night the Carroll football team got whooped. It was a bad game. Arlington Bowie dominated basically the whole time. Ever since Coach Dodge went to UNT the teams have never been as good. I feel bad for a couple of my buddies, but it is just football.

I just woke up. It is Black Friday and most people got up early and went shopping. Well I didn't go to bed till about the time they were getting up. I played halo till 3 in the morning. By the time I was done with Halo my eyes hurt. I had been playing since about 10.

Today I am gonna go to the Carroll football game. I am disappointed that it is not a Cowboys stadium. I would have liked to have gone back there. The place is huge. I swear they have over a million televisions, and then the huge screen. It is crazy.

Thanksgiving! I have already eaten lots of food and I plan to eat a ton more. The cowboys are doing good and I am well fed. It is a good day.

Thanksgiving break has been very fun thus far. Yesterday i went golfing and got whooped. My best pal John came home today. I think I'll cry when he leaves me. Tomorrow I have to wake up early for the Macy's Day Parade. I won a contest over the radio and get to help hold the Woody Woodpecker float.

I did not have my lab today. I had only had school for 50 minutes in fact, which was amazing. I had lots of time to sleep and lots of time to study for my math test tomorrow. The last test I made a D on it, I want to at least make a B on this one. I don't know how possible that is for me though. I have already studied a bunch and done a lot of problems. I am probably gonna work on more problems till about midnight.

The Southlake Carroll v. Allen football game last night was wild. It went in the double overtime. Carroll ended up winning in the second overtime when Allen tried to convert a two point conversion and couldn't make it. The game should never have gone to overtime though. Carroll had a chance to end the game but could do it in regulation. They had the lead with just a couple seconds left, and had to punt. A Carroll player thought it would be wise to down the ball after the punt, instead of letting the clock run out. So with just a second left Allen down by a touch down had a chance to tie the game. On the last play of regulation the Allen quarterback hit a receiver with a jump ball end zone to tie the game up. In over time, Allen lead off with the ball and score very quickly. Carroll responded with a touch down as well. In the second overtime Carroll got the ball first and scored a touch down and made the extra point. Allen scored too, but decided to go for two. Like said earlier they failed and that was the end of the game.

My best friend comes home today. He goes to Dartmouth College, which is in New Hampshire. I haven't seen him since the summer. So I am excited to see today. He is going to our high school football game too. He played with me last year. He plays baseball at Dartmouth. I am not sure how much he likes it. He has lived in the metroplex all his life so I think New Hampshire is a big change for him. Also, he complains about all the homework he has to do. I understand that because we never did homework last year in high school, and college is completely different and I am sure his college is a little tough anyways.

The weekend is finally here. That is a great relief. I plan on doing nothing tonight, except sleeping a ton. Tomorrow, I'll sleep in till noon or so. Sleeping is about the best thing ever. I am going to go to the Southlake Carroll playoff game tomorrow night. It is at the new Cowboys Stadium, or Jerry World. I am more interested in hanging out in the stadium then watching the game. The thing is huge. I went there earlier this year for the Paul McCartney and I was blown away by the inside of the stadium. It should be a decent weekend. And then only three days of school next and Thanksgiving!

I didn't get bed till after 3 last night. So, when I got up this morning for english at 7 I was unbelievably tired. Professor Camplin's voice was gone and we just turned in our papers and left. That was pretty exciting because I had time to sleep before my next class. I took about an hour nap, a nap I really needed, and then got up for math. Math was so confusing today, I did not understand what the professor was talking about. That was a bit disappointing considering I have a test on Tuesday with that material on it. That class ended my day of school. I only had one class which was very nice. I drove back to Southlake to see my older brother. I took him to lunch and we played Wii. He seems to be doing good which is excellent. At about 3 in afternoon I had lost all energy, so I took another nap. This one was a little longer about 2 and a half hours. Now I am well slept but it is already 6 at night, so who knows when I will be getting to bed tonight. Hopefully not too later.

My older brother got out of the hospital today. He had been in there since early June, right around my graduation. This has probably been the longest stay he has had in the hospital. He seemed pretty much fine today when I went and ate dinner with him. He was very pleased to be out of the hospital. He gave me a hug and told me he was free. Hopefully his freedom will last this time.

When I went to the library to find a topic to research for my paper, I wasn't really sure what I wanted to write about. I looked through the schools suggested topics, but none of those appealed to me really. So, I just wandered up and down the aisles of books in the reference section looking for something that interested me. I found a book about court trials and I looked through the index for something that interested me. I saw a few trails that I remember hearing about either in school or on television, and then I saw Theodore Bundy. That name sounded familiar, but I wasn't sure who he was. I turned to his place in the book and it was Ted Bundy the serial rapist and murderer. Although what he did was horrific, it is somewhat interesting. His court cases where way out there and what he did was beyond terrible. After reading the section about Ted Bundy and taking a bunch of notes. I was interested and other strange and horrific court cases. I read the basis of several other court cases that caught my eye. I must have been in the library for like four and a half ours just reading text. That has got to be a first for me.

I had to turn off the Cowboys game, I couldn't watch anymore. They couldn't even put a point on the board. I am not sure what they were doing. You could blame it on all the injuries that happened during the game, but I don't think that is it. They played poor the entire game. They didn't even convert on third down until late in the fourth quarter. They were like 0 for 7 on third down conversions at one point. Before the end of the first half they were setting up a drive, and Roy Williams decides to fumble the football. They just looked bad tonight. The Packers were a very beatable team for the Cowboys. Next week they need to do better. I need the Cowboys to make the playoffs and do good, or at that point during the season I got no one to root for. Watching the games are much more enjoyable when the team playing is the Cowboys.

I went to College Station yesterday to visit my friend that goes there. We went the the Texas A&M basketball game. That was pretty fun. After that we went back to his dorm. They have a big area that has pool tables and ping-pong tables. We played ping-pong for like three hours. We played doubles and we just beat the stuffing out of kids. I think out of like 15 games we lost maybe 1. Ping-pong last till about 1 in the morning, and at that point we were beat. I slept in his dorm but I had to sleep on the ground which was very uncomfortable. We didn't keep up till like noon and we went and ate lunch. I left College Station for Dallas probably around 2:30. Now I am back at my house and just watching some college football.

I sit in this room all day long. Staring at the wall across the room, I envision myself running and passing through it like a ghost. I could stare a hole in the wall. The point where my eyes are hitting the wall is bound to break and open up. I wonder if I got up and ran at the wall, would it let me pass? Like diffusion I would be a particle that could pass unchanged through its permeable membrane. What would happen when I came out the other side. Would I be in the other room, or would I pass into nothingness; maybe I would be in another dimension. No, I couldn't pass through a solid wall with out a forceful impact. Either I would be wilted by the wall and fall to the ground a failure, or if it's thin enough I could bust through it. But, the wall will not simply let me pass. It is a solid structure that is not permeable to a human being. I can't stare a hole in and I definitely cannot make it move. I could just get up and use the door if I wished to leave. I'll use the door.

A traveler rested himself on a rock near the creek's edge. His tired and wrinkled eyes showed his age. He had been on this trip for weeks now, and he did not know when it would end. He put his sack down next to the rock and dug through it for some bread. He sat slumped over in fatigue as he at small bites from the piece of bread. He raised slowly going over to the creek. He dipped down and brought the cool water up with his hands to drink. He drank till he had his fill and then went back to the rock where his sack was. His break was over. He picked up his sack and set out again. He had left his home so many weeks ago, but his journey was only beginning.

I have not played a video game in about three months. I played video games all the time during the summer, and even a lot last year. I don't have enough time for them I guess. My friends and I would always play when we were at each others houses. Now I never see my high school friends. A new Halo game is coming out soon or already has. My friend that goes to Trinity University in San Antonio is getting the game when he comes back for the holidays. He says we are going to play over the Thanksgiving break. The other Halo games were some of the video games we played a lot. He is very good at Halo, or any first person shooter. I am not even sure what the new Halo game is called, but I am sure we will have a bunch of fun shooting the heck out of aliens and each other in it.

I am going to leave Richland College at the end of the semester. I gonna find a school to play football at. I quit the baseball team after the fall season ended last week. I do not want to continue playing baseball for this school nor at all really. Im not sure exactly where it is I am going to play football. I hope to transfer somewhere next semester and play there. I haven't decided if I am gonna go to a big school and walk on, or go to one of the smaller schools that offered me last year. I don't really know what I want to do at this point. Im going meet with my high school football coach tomorrow and he is going to help me out.

The Cowboys play tonight. They play the Philadelphia Eagles. Hopefully they can beat the Eagles. If they win then they will take sole lead of the division. With the continuing decline of the Giants, the only two teams doing good are in the division are Dallas and Philadelphia. I think the Cowboys can pull it out and win. Over the past twenty games the Eagles lead the series however. The Eagles have fourteen wins and the Cowboys only have six. The Cowboys better win.

The concert I went to last night was really good. Minus the Bear was great. The first two bands that started the show weren't fantastic, but Minus certainly was. They were a really good live band and did a good job. The songs sounded just like they do on their CDs. The concert went till like midnight about, and I had to drive all the way back to my apartment over here in Richardson. So I didn't get back to really late. I was exhausted and got to bed right away.

I am going to a concert tonight with my brother and my girlfriend. The name of the band is Minus the Bear. They are not a widely know band, but I find them really good. In fact I think I only know of six people that actually know and like them. Now I haven't asked everyone I know I they like Minus the Bear, but no one talks about them. They aren't played on the radio at all, which might even be a good thing because half the stop that comes on the radio is just terrible. The concert is at the Door in Fort Worth and I have to leave during the middle of rush hour traffic and drive from Dallas to Fort Worth. That is not going to be the best of drives. That experience right there might down play the concert, hopefully not. Hopefully Minus the Bear is really good and it is a decent night.

The Yankees won their 27th World Series last night. I decided during the game that I really did not want the Yankees to win. So of course I rooted for the Phillies. Unfortunately they did not win. They got beat 7-3, and that ended the baseball season. The Yankees first year in their new stadium and they win a World Series. Alex Rodriguez now has his first World Series ring, and Jeter has his fifth I think. I wonder when the darn Rangers will decide to win the World Series. Probably not anytime soon, or ever for that matter.

Game six of the World Series is tonight. I am confused on who I should pull for. On one hand I hate the Yankees, but on the other hand I really don't like Pedro Martinez. Any professional athlete that takes a 72 year old man, Don Zimmerman, and throws him to the ground by his head really isn't a nice person. He is a hot head that has gotten into it with tons of opposing team's players. In general I do not like the Yankees one bit. So cheering for either team is a little out of the question for me. However, maybe I'll pull for the Phillies just because if they win the Yankees the World Series is over and baseball is done for the year.

My brother is coming home this weekend. We are gonna go see a concert on Friday night. The band is Minus The Bear, and they are playing at the door in Fort Worth. I like a ton of their songs and I have heard they are decent enough live. So it should be a good concert. My friend that goes to Texas A&M is also coming back for the weekend. I think we are gonna go golfing Sunday morning probably. I got to get my elbow checked out on Thursday. If it's messed up then I probably can't golf on Sunday, which would suck. I have not seen this friend in over a month I guess. He came down once earlier this semester, I think at the beginning of September, so it has been a while. Him and I went golfing at least ten time over the summer.

Another World Series game is tonight. The Yankees are up 3-1 in the series, and are looking to put the series to a close tonight. The only problem with that is that the Yankees must face Cliff Lee. A pitcher who was beyond dominate earlier in this series verse the Yankees. Cliff Lee should handle the Yankees and the Phillies should win this game. Then the series heads back to New York where I am pretty sure the Yankees should win. I don't really have a preference on who I want to win in this World Series. The only two teams I really like are the Texas Rangers and the Tampa Bay Rays. The Rays made it to the World Series last year but they lost to the Phillies. The Rangers have never even won a playoff series and I can't even remember the last time they made the playoffs.

The Cowboys won today for the third straight week. Tony Romo has hit a hot streak. He has no interceptions in the past three games, which is a first for him. Miles Austin continues to play lights out after being named a starter. They are tied with the Eagles right now in the division, and they face them next week. Hopefully Romo can continue his sold play. It would be great for the Cowboys to get four in a row after next week, when going to Philadelphia. Then hopefully they will continue to do well and make the playoffs this year.
