Ooops

Well, I see it has been since Dec. that I haven't updated the blog. Sorry. Been kinda busy with this thing called School.
I was looking and noticed that I had stated in previous posts that I would never do Twitter...Never say never. As I have officially joined the Twitter nation, and tweet pretty much every game that I go to. (twitter.com/CDinSV)
I survived the entire Winter quarter here at CSUB. I took Organizational Behavior (B-), Sports Law (B), and Sports Marketing (B). Quarter GPA - 2.90, missed a 3.0 by that much |_|.
For those that care, I'm taking Marketing, Event & Facility Management (my final Sports Marketing class), and MIS.

Finally!

I'm officially a University student!
-CD

As sent earlier today from my phone. Well today was the day that I've been looking forward to since December of 2007 when I made the decision to go back to school. It has been just 3 months shy of 2 years, and oh the classes and homework and all the other stuff that goes along with school.

So now that day one is done, I've only got 2 years (by my own limitations) before I get my B. S. paper. Wish me luck, not only with school, but with my next 100 posts. Yes, this is post # 100, thanks to everyone (aka Jesse) who has been with me through all 100 posts.

Well, maybe not

As you read in my last bog, I was planning on going to Hollywood for a taping of "Let's Make a Deal". Well, then again maybe not. When we got to San Clemente things went down hill (and not just because the I-5 goes down). At first, I was starting to feel a little uneasy, so I stopped at the Mickey D's at Ave. Pico. I used the restroom and got there just in time as things in my body hit the eject button. So we turned around and came back home. We got back to the house around 8a and then Mom & I went to bed. I went to bed and didn't get up until 3p, it was a nice long rest. So I wish I could tell you about "Let's Make a Deal" but, I, just like the rest of everyone that wasn't there, will have to wait until the episode comes out on TV.

PS, tomorrow will be 2 months until I move into the dorms at CSUB.

What's up people?

So it has been awhile since I've blogged. So to catch everyone up, I have gone to Bakersfield for orientation and have my classes (I'll talk about that later). More recently, like last week, I was laid-off from Clear Channel Radio as part of the second "Black Tuesday" of the year. So I am no longer a member of the media, which means if you have a problem with the media....send a note to the Program Director.

As far as school is concerned, I have already finished one class and got a C. I have more than enough credits to transfer to Bakersfield, now I'm just taking specific classes that are required.

Turning to sports (you can somewhat tune out now Jesse), Grossmont College has two very good ball clubs right now. The softball squad defeated East Los Angeles College twice last weekend to move onto the second round this coming weekend at Mt. SAC (Saturday at 7, Sunday at 2 and if needed 4p). If the ladies win this weekend, they will go to the State Championships in Salinas. Baseball is also on the road as they are going to be at Long Beach City College on Friday at 3p and a possible doubleheader on Saturday (11a, 3p if needed).

(OK, Jesse, you can tune back in now) Other than that, everything is normal, stress is raising due to the looming finals. Also, getting closer and closer to Nationals.

What a trip and HC the Patriot season could be in trouble

Well, yesterday was certainly interesting. If you read the previous post, you will see that I went to Bakersfield to surprise my friend Andy who was calling for a club up there. That is the cliff notes version of the story, here is the full story.

I got up and went and picked up Julie and then worked the Grossmont Vs. Cuesta Women's Volleyball match. I will be honest, I was expecting a 90 minute floor sweeping of Grossmont, I was wrong. The match lasted 2 hours and Grossmont lost in 5 games.

After the match, my mom, Julie and myself all got into the car and took off for Lakewood to meet up with the May's. Well, around 4:30 we leave Lakewood for Bako. Obviously LA is full of freeway's and since the May's live there, they know them better than I, but talk about the Magellan route of getting to Bako and the dance. We left Lakewood and took the 91 West to the 710 North. From the 710 we got onto the 5 (I'm in the chase vehicle and thinking, ok we are done.....WRONG!!!!!). Once on the 5 we got onto the 2 northbound until we reached the 210 West which took us back to the 5. We get to the 14 connector, there was a sign on the side saying that there was a brush fire on the 5 with 2 lanes closed. At this point Jesse calls me and asks, "do you want to take the 14?" to which I reply "I guess" not really knowing the route at that point. Well, this is when the adventure really begins. I never realized that you could go from Lakewood to Bakersfield via Mojave....yes Mojave and Lancaster. To which now that I know who was playing at Lancaster, I would have never gotten to Bakersfield, I would have bought a ticket for the LE Strom playing at Lancaster in the Southern Division of the California League playoffs. We eventually got into Mojave for a bathroom break. We then got onto the 58 West which took us right into Bako and only 9 blocks from the dance.

Once at the dance, I walk in with everyone else behind me, and standing right in front of me is my friend Andy, I say "Hey Andy", he turns to see who said it, and this blank confused look comes across his face as he says "what are you doing here?" To which I say "surprising you!"

After the dance, the entire crew drove a couple of blocks to an iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Hop (you have to know me to understand that). We all had some fun while eating. After the meal, the May's left to go home. Julie, my mom and I however, went over to CSU-Bakersfield to check out the campus. Since that is where I'm transfering (if everything goes according to schedule) in a year and I had not been to the campus. I drove around getting the lay of the land and all. We got home eventually around 5am.

I woke up this morning about 12:30p and turned on the NFL to see Matt Casel as the QB for the NE Patriots. I had not seen the score, so I thought sweet, the Pats are WAY ahead of the Chiefs ....WRONG. It turns out like it is an ACL injury to the reigning MVP of the NFL. The injury happened when Tom Brady threw what looked like a deep ball when a Chiefs defender rolled into Tom's left leg. An MRI will be done on Monday to reveal how bad the injury turely is, some reports out of New England are saying that it might be season ending. One word on that: DAMN! or you could use SHIT, your choice.

Greetings from a very bored person

So welcome to bog 1.008, with a week between bog's you would think alot is going on in the life of Chris, well, you would be wrong.

Monday - School & take care of Elizabeth's dogs.
Tuesday - School, Elizabeth's dogs, and square dancing.
Wednesday - School, Elizabeth's dogs, and watching the CSU-Bakersfield Roadrunners defeat the USD Torreros.
Thursday - School, Elizabeth's dogs, and hand and foot
Friday - School, hosting dinner with friends, and work
Saturday - Patriots football and Clear Channel "holiday" party

As far as stats class is concerned, not going well. I believe that even though I really don't have time to re-take the class, I think that I might have to re-take it.

When the regular spring semester begins on the 28th, I will be taking English, Physical Anthropology, Principals of Information Systems, MicroEconomics, & the crash course is Public Speaking. A very full course load!

News of the weird: Thanks to the AP.
WEST HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. - An obstetrician saved his wife and six children from a fire that ravaged their home, delivered a baby while the house was still smoldering and then got cited with building violations. Dr. Herman Weiss said Friday "was just my day."The 37-year-old awoke around 3 a.m. to the screech of a smoke detector and the sight of flames inching up an outside wall of his Long Island home. He got his family to safety, then was paged and went to a hospital to deliver an infant around 6 a.m.The fire brought scrutiny from building inspectors, who cited the Weisses with a discrepancy in plumbing plans and living in the house without a certificate of occupancy. Weiss said the family had hired a lawyer to get one.The family has been ordered to tear down the damaged house. Weiss said he hopes to rebuild in the same place.

Well, lets look at this from a very impartial view. If they have been living there, then why not overlook the fact that they don’t have the permit and let them live there. Sheez, city governments and they wounder why they have a bad reputation.

Unti we get together again for bog 1.009, see ya latter.

PS If you are wondering how the resolutions are going, they are are still in effect.
