Its been a long time since Ive written anything here but its also been a long time since Ive seen something like I saw Firday night - wait, I've never seen anything like I saw last Friday night. The "incident" between the Indiana Pacers and the city of Detroit, while not unprecedented, was one of the uglier incidents between fans and a team ever ( Read more... )

Heres another tennis article I wrote. I was at this tournament for anywhere from 12 to 14 hours, Im not entirely sure. I think the article turned out pretty well, the editors didnt touch much other than to cut the last paragraph because it made the article too long. The version in the newspaper is online at the Marquette Tribune's website. Hope you ( Read more... )

This week saw the third and final presidential debate, the first elections in Afghanistan, violence is Iraq, and the Redskins fall to 1-4. These are all ripe topics for discussion and stuff that I normally like to write about. So, why am I going to ignore all of them? Well, the answer is simple; US soccer qualified Wednesday for the final stage of ( Read more... )

heres another article I wrote for the marquette tribune. Once again its the original before it got sent off to the editors. It might get completely changed before it comes out tuesday, we'll see. There is about 100 words too many in it so I think the paragraphs about the fight over kerry's vietname service will end up on the cutting floor but you' ( Read more... )

Well everyone has been writing about school and how they hate/love college. I could have written about that but instead of making you worry about how my life at school is going (colleen, Im still at 0 for 3 right now...man am I full of shit), I thought I would change the subject to a more uplifting topic: The war on terrorism! I know you are all ( Read more... )

Well recent events, such as my epic move westwards, have denied me the chance to write anything here. I am also, as most of you know, horrifically lazy. Well impassioned pleas from my loyal readers have struck a nerve. Okay, fine the only person who actually told me that they missed the column was Erin Flynn but since she is the only one in the ( Read more... )

Well now it seems that this space is at a bit of crossroads. We are all going off to college so it seems like I should devote this live journal to its original purpose: telling people all about my life and what is going on in Milwaukee. Well, I still dont really want to do that because I still want to write my columns on here, despite the fact that ( Read more... )

Does anyone else sort of like that Fat Joe song? Its horrifically stupid but I cant help it. Anyway just a thought to ponder because Im too tired to write anything

I think that its a sign of the times that Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, and yes, even Rudy Tomjonavich (the new Laker's coach for those who dont care about sports...although if you dont care about sports, you probably are not reading this...) overshadowed the Major League All Star game. Overshadowed is even an understatement; eclipsed is more like ( Read more... )
