Adventures of Brad and Jordan

Because that’s what this guy apparently did and he was disqualified.  [Story Here]  “It was a severe headbutt, a very serious incident,” Tour Down Under chief commissioner Michael Robb told Australian media. “It was one of the worst headbutts I’ve seen in a very long time.”

Hmmm it sounded worse from the headline, but apparently when you’re racing bikes at high speeds, you don’t want to use your head to knock other racers off the bikes.  I’m not sure why they DQ’d him, rubbin’s racin’….Right?  If they DQ for this type of behavior I could never get into watching professional biking.  Missing baseball still….

So its like 3 weeks before pitchers and catchers report (they go to start preparing for spring training before other players do) And I’m sitting here trying to figure out how to fill my sports void.  The Cowboys lost, the NBA is just not fun to watch, Golf bores me, Tennis isn’t even that great, and Hockey is the same thing just not my cup of tea.   Maybe I’m not a sports fan, I’m just a baseball lover who also likes football during the off-season.

What’s the point of my post?  I just really miss baseball, the Mariners are likely to flop this season and that doesn’t even bug me. That’s so weird. But I can’t wait to see the breakouts this year, the disappointments, the race in the East, where does Johan go? Basically I just want to follow my fantasy baseball team.  I’ll stop boring you.  But seriously, bring baseball back!

So I’m getting a new TV and BluRay disc player mostly cause I’m a whore for great electronics. Buying the BluRay Player (I’m getting the playstation 3 model, I heard you can like play games on it too if you want to do that and hate xbox, and its the cheapest) Anyway with the BluRay disc player there is a offer for 5 free DVDs. However you have to pick them from different categories. So here’s my choices and likely picks, I want to know if I’m wrong.

Category 1: The Prestige, Wild Hogs, Pirates of the Caribbean Curse of the Black Pearl.

-Likely I pick the Pirates movie, that’s assuming its the 3rd one, if not I go for the The Prestige cause I have no desire to see Wild Hogs and I’ve seen the other two Pirates movies

Category 2: Swordfish, Superman, Full Metal Jacket

-Toss up, Full Metal Jacket in High Def would be sweet, but Swordfish would too. Not sure I care about superman

Category 3: Stir of Echoes, American Psycho, The Devil’s Rejects.

-Never heard of any of them.

Category 4: THe Patriot, S.W.A.T., Ultraviolet

-Ultraviolet is a fun movie, never seen SWAT and the Patriot is alright. Not sure…

Category 5: Chain Reaction, Omen 666, Flight of the Phoenix, SPieces, Hart’s War, The Last Waltz

- only seen Hart’s War, and I’ll pass the high def version of that. The Last Waltz sounds stupid, What is Chain Reaction?

Thanks for your suggestions and comments! I love you guys!!!

So here is my rant against USF and the dirty money hungry bastards they have running that school. It’ll be short and sweet.

We have me who has completed everything and taken all the classes.
We have Ray who has one credit to do, needs to take a workshop.

Ray needs to pay $125 and attend a weekend workshop, where USF will pay a teacher to run the class.

Jordan all the sudden, the school alerts Jordan that he hasn’t taken a CPR course. Jordan shows them the CPR card. School says Jordan didn’t register for it, so it doesn’t count. Jordan in a furious anger concedes knowing he should have paid closer attention to this type of thing. USF charges him for a credit plus student fees. $280+75. They also throw on graduation charges again $75. Jordan again calls USF, gets the grad charges fixed. Yay -$75. Jordan calls registrar’s office, because my credit is a requirement I have to pay that.

So USF doesn’t teach me the course, they pay nothing for my troubles and collect $355. I won’t pass go, but I’m sure as hell passing buy the alumni office and telling them never to ask me for my donation, cause the only one they’ll get is saving their time and stamps by not bothering me. BTW I’m glad Ray only has to pay $125, I would have felt bad if they fleeced him and then tried to fill his head with more Conservative-Liberal bullshit.

In the long run I win cause I never feel guilty not donating to my school. Haha!

****Update****

My recently non-tenured adviser responded to my USF hate mail by saying she looked into it for me and found out that I was only a part time student my final semester and one more credit would have made me full time, Which would have cost me $1500.   So I guess I win, none of it makes sense, but I win dammit.  Haha USF still not getting donations from me!  Assholes!  Oh yeah, send me my Diploma like stop holding it hostage, Ugh.

With the semester approaching everyone is returning to school. I received a call from one of my room mates to pick him up from the airport. Most people would drive there, meet him, and return home.

Not me.

I found a giant piece of tag board, and wrote in big letters “Mr. Alexander Geiwaud.” My roomies name is Alex. His last name is not, nor in any way resembles gaywad. So I call him when I get there and tell him I’m waiting outside. I then stand outside of the car, holding my Mr. Alexander Geiwaud sign and scream.

“Mr. Gaywad!”

“Mr. Alexander Gaywad!”

Alex, smiling, says, “Yes. That’s me.”

I say, “Let me get the trunk for you, Mr. Gaywad.”

I’m sure he appreciates being back in South Dakota.

Telling someone you’re better than them – that’s cocky.

Putting money where your mouth is – that’s cocky and confident.

Putting money up, and making your opponent risk nothing – that’s cocky, confident, and stupid.

In Mitchell, Adam and I were running a beer pong table, like we usually do. Our first loss came to a couple of guys who came from behind and made the same cup so we had no rebuttal. This happens sometimes in beer pong, and there’s nothing you can do about it. We congratulated the team and went on partying.

Half an hour later these two guys are bragging it up about how they beat us, and they must be better. Adam says, “Let’s play again.” They decline, saying they’ve already beaten us.

Then to my horror/pleasure/WTFness Adam pulls out a 100 dollar bill. He then puts out the challenge, “If you beat us again, you get $100.” They say that they don’t want to risk any money on beer pong. Adam says they don’t have to. If they can beat us again, when it counts, they get $100. If they lose, they owe nothing.

Obviously they accept the challenge. The beer pong game itself started out with them getting to an early lead, but overall was anti-climatic. The better team won, and hopefully Adam gained $100 worth of pride to match his crazy.

Edit: The winner of the big game was myself and Adam. For any future reference “the better team” always refers to myself and Adam… unless it is myself and Slater from Saved by the Bell. Then Slater and I trump anybody.
