Look Who's Still Here...

Hello again all... I got back not long ago from doing Physics homework with my buddy Matt, and I'm feeling much relieved after all of that trouble. That stuff is HARD. We spent an entire hour on one problem, and at 11:30 we decided to just write down some intelligent bullshit on paper. It turned out that this intelligent bullshit led us to the answer. We hugged each other we were so happy. The other people in the study room were wondering what was going on between us. Thankfull that is over... Now I'll fill you in on the weekend's festivities. There were many original Hallowen costumes out there the entire weekend. My buddies Matt, Mike and I hit a Halloween party on friday night, but we are coming to realize that not leaving the dorm until midnight isn't a good plan. Still, we caught some okay business. Costumes there were okay, for the most part... Actually, my two buddies and myself were some of the few people not wearing anything festive. I liked some of the original ideas though. One guy was a genius. He fashioned a cardboard box to look like one of those cheap boxes of wine, but he actually had a real box of wine inside, with the tap sticking out in the most obvious of places... But it worked! There were several girls who got on their knees to get a drink from the tap. Several photo ops for that guy. I should have thought of that. But of course, I didn't think about a costume until saturday, when I decided to wear some gift ribbons and go as God's Gift To Women. Mike put a big "E" on his shirt and went as "E-Male", and Matt just made something up, because he was wearing his Buckeye Football jersey. That saturday night was much better, if you get my drift. But why am I talking about saturday night when I should be talking about the bigger event of saturday?
The Buckeyes Got Another Victory!
Yep, another win in the books at home. My boy Ted Ginn Jr had a punt return for a TD, and Tyler Everett returned an INT for a TD. I can't believe Mike Nugent got blocked though... Well, we have Michigan State coming up, and I feel horrible for the Spartans because they had a victory in the bag against M*ch*g*n, but lost it in a heartbreaker. It's alright... It's now only 18 more days until we beat that scUM.

I hope you've enjoyed the previous audio blogs, especially since I find that option quite convenient to use. I bet you're wondering why this is The Bigman's Rolling Buckeye Blog... Well, I'm not sure myself. The best thing to say is that I will be posting in audioblogs when I'm away from my laptop or on location. Anyway, on to more about the weekend.

Sunday was mostly about getting rest. I mean, not just because of friday and saturday, but that I need to sleep in once per week at least. I've been wearing myself down with so much activity in and out of class.

I got a nice phone call on sunday, though...

I was on the phone with a sort of "long lost friend". It has been a while since this friend and I have kept in regular contact, and I'm glad I shook off the butterflies I had... I dunno why I can become nervous for certain people, because I know that no matter what that there's nothing to get nervous over. I hope she reads this, because there are some people whom I've been missing, and hopefully she'll dial me up after reading this, so I at least know that there is one more person reading my blog!

I'll probably be calling her first.

But sunday night consisted of a very LOUD Yellowcard concert. The opening bands were not bad. The Matches opened... It looked like they were trying too hard or trying too much to get into the music. They were jumping and running all over the stage, but too crazily. The Starting Line followed, and I was impressed. It was a good sound, and a good performance. They reminded me of Yellowcard last year, when they opened for Jane's Addiction at the Gravity Games in Cleveland. When Yellowcard came on, the shit got LOUD in there. I became more of a fan after the concert. They play better live than on their albums. Shit, they play their music heavier live. The only downside to the show was the fact that the average fan's age there was probably 16. There were so many girls there screaming... At least they were screaming for a punk band, and not some cheesy boy band. But really, it was a concert where you saw fathers taking their daughters and their friends to the rock show. Really Weird.

After the concert was a shocking scene. Mike and I went to 7-Eleven after leaving the Schottenstein Center, and I saw none other than my good friend from back home Dave Jack. He apparently was at Miami of Ohio over the weekend with some friends, and they all came up to see the concert. It was a really pleasant surprise, especially since he now looks like Grizzly Adams, or maybe Al Borlan from Home Improvement. But wow. I told him to dial me up the next time he comes down here. He's at Kent State, and that isn't too far away if he really wanted to get out and go.

I think that may be the bulk of it for the weekend. Oh, by the way, I'd like to formally introduce the previously mentioned Mike to the Blog, if he will accept my invite already. Mike will be your source for all the news, stats, scores and rumors around the sports world... no, I'm kidding. Mike will hopefully be popping in from time to time with some of his take, and hopefully I can get others to follow. But, that's all for now. It is late, and I still have some homework to do for my Engineering class, so so long for now...
