    Mmm...I love BBQ. Went out last night with Moody and his folks. Had some ribs, some potato(e)s, and some grits....good times. Chilled out at Bard for the night. Ref-ed some Rugby in the morning. Drove home in the afternoon. Pretty uneventful. Meh, that's the way I like it some times. Just go up, chill out, recharge, come back to the city. Now I'm off to watch baseball. White Sox vs. Astros, the score is 3-3 right now in game one. Hope the Astros win...but I really couldn't care. I bet Brian Wolf...licensed super hero...is shitting himself over the White Sox.

    I'm so not dicussing the Yankees
    Well, it's been a little over a month now since I began taking classes at Hunter. I'm actually enjoying it. The Expository writing class I'm in is a good class and I'm doing a ton of writing which is good. The math class...meh...couldn't really care less. I dislike math, but the class isn't bad. It's a good review for what I'm going to have to take when I get back to Bard. That's what really sucks, I won't get credit for this math class. Oh well, at least I'm making the most of my time here. I visit bard every once in a while and I'm directing two plays in the city, Mr. Happiness and Talk Radio. They're going really well and I'm having fun with them. Yeah, so all in all, not bad.

    Oh and Mario...you're so wrong about the girls at Hunter...so wrong.

    Peace out!

    The Yankees...what is wrong with them
    Why, oh why, are the Yankees playing for the Wild Card...

    Anyway. I'm still in the city and not going back to Bard this semester (Erin...I hate you so much.) I'm taking a "personal leave of absence" from Bard and staying in New York City. Although, I guess this is a good thing. I get to live at home, on a pull-out sofa. I get to get a job and work most of the time when I'm not taking two classes at Hunter College. These classes, by the way, are both 100 level classes, a 100 level math class (pre-algebra) and a 100 level essay writing class. Note to all this kids out there...this is called sarcasm. This is a HUGE amount of sarcasm. This is terrible. I hate living at home. I hate having no freedom. I miss Bard, I miss my friends, I miss rugby, I miss acting, I miss having my own room. THIS IS TERRIBLE. Well, I guess the only thing I can do is ace these two courses, put up with living at home and be back at Bard next semester. Well...it won't be that bad I guess, only 4 months...(four? shit.) Whatever, I've dealt with worse in the past month. This isn't really too bad. Except the Yankees are still blowing hard.
    Peace out kiddies.

    Updating for the first time since Feb...wow...
    Well, I've been in the city for about 14 pretty much uneventful days. I've chilled out and done a lot of thinking. Way too much thinking. Yeah, I left camp early to get back to the city and relax for a bit and get a jump on my moderatino papers. I know, I know...I should've moderated in my sophmore year...but hey, I'm going to be at Bard longer than four years, so it's still technically my sophmore year...hah hah. I wish I could take a full course load, but I'd fail that horribly. Better to take fewer classes and do better.

    In other news. It was good to be back up at Bard this past weekend to check out the freshmen class and do some recruiting for rugby. I did have the misfortune of meeting some miscreant freshmen who gave me some magic herbs...I was totally out of it for most of the day. Wow... that was interesting. I hadn't done that ALL summer. Well, that was it for me. I'm out now, no more of that for the rest of the semester. I need to concentrate on work, so I'm leaving the substances behind me...wow...what a change that'll be. Thank god I have a single and won't be living in a sweet. I mean, hell, that was fun, but not good for my work ethic. Good for my party ethic though. Anyway...I think I'm done rabling for now. Time to get some sleep. I'm such a loser, I'm going to bed before midnight. Well, early to bed...you know what they say.

    latest boring BS
    Eh...haven't written anything here in a while....I'm awash with work, I'm tired, I'm annoyed with people. I have way too much stuff to do. My roommates are too loud and piss me off. I'm barely in my room since my roommate always has his girlfriend over....wow...I'm really fucking tired of this BS....anywho...wow...that all sounded really depressing...it's really not that bad...IU'm just complaining...complaing it good. As is writting in a stream of conscieousness. Man...I get to play with a puppy on friday, it's awesome...I love puppies...they're so small and goofy...I love it when they do stupid shit too. Urg...i've really got to get out more, i'm in my dorm way too much, i barely know any of the freshman class...eh, whatever, who cares, buncha hippies anyway...though that's not entirely acurate...they're really not, they're more like Vassar kids...okay, that's enough rambling for now....oh yea....and I'm fucking 20 years old now....the most useless age ever!

    well, this just sucks
    Well, this is it. D-Day. I have to study my ass of tonight and hope I pass my History of Science Exam tomorrow. If I don't then I'm basically screwed. I'm still on academic probation because I got a C and not a C+ in FYSem. Some things just piss me off. I've got an A and two B+'s but noooooo....I had to be advised to take History of Science so I could be on the verge of getting kicked out of Bard again. I swear...someone is just screwing with me. NOTHING has gone right lately. Nothing is going right personally, financially, socially, politically, athletically (both professional and personal). WHEN THE FUCK IS ALL THIS SHIT GOING TO FUCKING END. Oh...that's right, tomorrow. Either way it's done, if I pass the exam I stay in school and if I fail, I'm out. I'm hoping I pass. I really am. If I pass then I just have to push a bit more and pass the third and final test in that class and I'm off academic probation...hopefully. So really, it's not over until that last test, but if I fail, it's totally over. Hah...gotta love life sometimes.

    Current Mood: really scared

    Bard Rubgy goes to the playoffs for the first time ever.
    Well, Bard Rugby entered the playoffs with a 1-4 record, which put us in fourth place in the league. The only team that did worse than us was Drew, with a 0-5 record. Though our record was that low we were really a much better team than the standings would indicate. We only lost to SUNY Maritime by one point, 12-11, and we lost by 4 points, 7-3, to Montclair State University. Each of those two losses gave us a bonus point in the standings because they were losses that were by less than 7 points. The only real defeat the team suffered this season was against Hofstra University, the first place team with an undefeated record. They won easily 40-0. They shut us out, disrespected us and trounced on our honor and pride. Going into the playoffs we knew we would be facing Hofstra again, so we were ready. The team trained hard for two weeks and got as good as I've ever seen it. Everyone was dedicated to facing Hofstra again as a totally different team. Going into the game we were pumped, we knew we could show Hofstra the game of their season and we did just that.

    We all arrived at SUNY Maritime on Sunday, October 31 at nine o'clock, where the playoffs were being hosted, about an hour or so before the game would begin. We watched the first match of the day, Montclair State University (MSU) vs. SUNY Maritime, ranked 2 and 3 respectively. Montclair won 7-0 and advanced to the Division III championship game to face either us or Hofstra. Before the game we all swore to ourselves we'd show Hofstra the toughest game of their season.

    Bard kicked off first and Hofstra came at us hard, but we did not let up. We got the ball back quickly and started to show the boys from Long Island why they were going to have to fight. We ran the ball down the field easily and scored first, putting us up 5-0. But Hofstra came back quickly and counted, scoring as well, tying the game at 5 points a piece. Both teams missed their conversion kicks after their scores, so the score stayed at 5-5. Then Hofstra ran at us again late in the second half and was able to kick a drop-goal and gain 3 more points putting them ahead. The half ended with the score at 8-5, Hoftra being in the lead, but us right there with them, putting pressure on them. The second half began with disappointment, with Hofstra scoring again, putting them up by 8 at 13-5. But we kept on fighting as opposed to how we used to play in years past where if we were down, we'd start to fall apart. The senior captains kept everyones head in the game and led the charge. Brian Wolf and Jacob Grana led the offense down the field and helped us push Hofstra deep into their own territory. When Hofstra got the ball Lenny Reibstein got the team mustered on defense and we held them until we could recover the ball.

    We then finally broke through their line with Jacob pounding the ball through numerous defenders before passing the ball out to freshman wing, Nick Shapiro, who then juked by one defender and ran through another to score and put us back in the game 13-10. Nick then tried for the conversion kick and made it. This put Bard behind by only one point at 13-12. Sadly though Hofstra then added to their tally, making another drop-goal and putting them up 16-12, which would end up being the final score. However Bard refused to quit and kept attacking up until the final whistle was blown.

    It's difficult to write about a game and not want to mention everyone's great efforts but then this would go on for another few pages. To say the least everyone played phenomenally and really fought hard. We won back our respect and our pride and we showed everyone at the tournament that Bard Rugby is now a serious threat in the division. Special thanks though I think needs to go out to Sam Sherman who came down with us after only being able to practice one week this season. He filled in the spot left by injured freshman Ben Dexter, and played the entire game with such dedication.

    So here's to Bard Rugby 2004, the best team I have ever had the honor and privilege to play with.

    Back from Boston...
    Damn...I just drove 750 miles from NY to Boston, around Boston, and back to NY. I am tired. I need to get more sleep. Oh and Boston: I'll be more than willing to take my 26 rings, though I won't be shoving them anywhere near my ass. And to Pedro: You can try and bean the Bambino, but he'll most likely strike you're ass out 'cause he was a better pitcher.

    woo hoo, freshmen
    Heh...I love corrupting freshmen at college. The Froshies just arrived at Bard about a week ago. I messed with them for a bit, it was fun. Also recruited about 10 guys for rugby, that's what really counts. Anywho...going to Boston on Monday and then back in NYC on Thursday. Then it's off to college for a week of practice, partying and recruiting more guys. After that, classes start...shit.
