3rd Time's a Charm, just like you ; )

Hey everyone! Hope all is going well in your lives. It's time again for me to reflect on the past 2 weeks or whatever it has been since my last post. Last week was a busy week, lots of quizzes,tons of homework, and a few big tests. College kids would agree with me that it seems like you have a few weeks of just hw, then all of a sudden you have all of your tests in one week...no fun at all. But during the past couple weeks I have had enough experiences to reflect on and write it down for you all to read.

Like I said, last week was full of tests, so I figured I better go check out what the Kansas State Library had to offer. On the outside, Hale Library looks like a 2 story castle, so I walk in not knowing what to expect, and to my surprise, the inside is pretty nice. After walking around for awhile, I figured out that I had become lost...seriously,Hale Library is bigger than Pratt High School, which is a good size building for us "small town" kids. So after a few trips to Hale I have figured out where to find certain stuff, how to get to the 1st and 3rd floors, as it can be trickier than imagined. I also came to the assumption that cute girls are smart girls, because there are TONS of cute girls at Hale. I'm not sure if my dad is paying these girls to go sit in the library so I go there to "study" or what, but it's working, props to my dad Pete! 

My current Game-Day record is 7-1. K-State Football is 4-0 and I'm 3-1 tailgating, I wasn't able to make it to the game in KC, but nobody's perfect, right? Last Saturday K-State played University of Central Florida. Although the meteorologist's were predicting about a 20% chance of rain, I predicted a 100% chance, and by gosh, I was right! about 5 minutes into the game, play got suspended due to lightning, rain, and this crazy cloud . So after about an hour of standing under the bleachers waiting for the weather to pass, the game was back on. The first 55 minutes of the game were more boring than a KU vs NDSU game, ohhh wait, that game was fun to watch. But anyways, K-State came back from being down and won the game in the last minute. It was a very exciting ending to a very boring game. But hey, K-State is 4-0 thanks to the help of Daniel Thomas.

So as some of you would know, I LOVE MUSIC. I listen to just about any kind of music, it's my way of relaxing,getting pumped up,raving...just about anything! I was introduced to Andrew Logan through some mutual friends, and through Call of Duty, where he likes to be known as 'Hollywood'. He is a small-town kid with big-time talent. If you like listening to good music, check out his site. Also, I recently became aware that a band, Mammoth Life, featuring some Pratt-grown kids is going to be performing at Aggiefest on October 2nd, at The Loft in Aggieville. Their music is out of the ordinary, but after awhile gets you tapping your foot and listening, I'm excited to watch them on Saturday!

I wish I could give 'knucks' to everyone that wants a shout-out, but it just can't be done. After knowing Will Brown through mutual friends for awhile now, we finally hungout. Will is a pretty fly guy, just like myself, so I look forward to us destroying the town of Manhattan together in the future. At a get-together on Friday, Will got iced. Most of you would laugh it off and say yeah right. But Will got down on one knee and took it like a champ. (photo courtesy of Randall Rank). So "Knucks Bro" to you Will Brown! My last shout-out goes to Chris Froetschner. Word is that he is my biggest blog follower in Colorado, and even spreads word about my blog. It is important to me that out-of-state citizens follow my blog since I'm hoping to one day take over the world. Chris recently got a hot tub which will feel amazing after I get done shredding the mountain with him this winter, also, Happy 21st Birthday to Chris tomorrow! 'Knucks to Chris'!

Well guys, and girls, sorry if I bored you to death. People always mention to me how I type so much, but it's just like talking for me. And those of you that know me, know I am pretty good at talking alot. I hope everyone has a wonderful week, I will leave you with a quote.

All the way turned up...

Hey everybody, I have been meaning to publish my 2nd post for some time now, but just got around to it. It has been a pretty busy couple weeks with classes and kstate football starting. I felt like I had a pretty good response to my first blog post so i'm excited to keep this going. (knucks to all those who read the first post).

In my first post I talked about my Accounting teacher that hates the world, or his students, or something like that. This post I will be talking about my Macroeconomics teacher, Mohaned Al-Hamdi. Dr.Hamdi is foreign, if you couldn't have guessed. So anyways, he is a really nice guy,but rather hard to understand sometimes. My friend Ryan and I recently discovered that he has a pattern to the shirts he wears. He wears the same shirt MWF of a week, we aren't sure if he doesn't like doing laundry, or maybe it's just his lucky shirt for the week. (We will get to my lucky shirt in a bit.)

Everyday in Manhattan is a new experience. You always see something new on campus. After Natural-Disasters one day, 3 of us were walking to the parking lot and came to this long set of  (what seemed to be) never-ending stairs. So as we are walking up the stairs, we are laughing and making fun of how awkward they were, then i looked to my left, and Ryan and tripped up the stairs and ate concrete. I'm not sure if he was hungry, or just forgot how to walk, but it totally made my day. On another note, today while walking on campus, I was lucky enough to be walking along side the "Boombox Kid" He was blasting some 'Ice Ice Baby', which put me in the best of moods. I have concluded that K-State is the place for me with all of these awesome events happening on a daily basis. (boombox kid photo courtesy of ryan gotsche)

On September 4th, K-State opened up their football season with a win over UCLA, and on the 11th, beat Missouri State. I have a new type of respect for EMAW Nation, I believe that making it to the game after an amazing day of tailgating is a win, and the cats winning is another win. So 2 games into the football season, I like to look at my personal record as 4-0. I will not be attending the game this weekend in Kansas City against Iowa State, so my record will drop to 5-1 after the cats beat the cyclones. Anyways, back to the games. On game days in Manhattan, 98% of people are wearing purple, but I love looking at everyone's shirts and reading them. Most are the usual, K-State Football shirts, some degrade KU (I love those), and some are authentic. But I still believe that my Game-Day shirt is the best. I found the shirt at Goodwill last year for $1, and trace it back to around 1975. (I know you all are jealous of the fanny pack in that photo too.)

I turned 20 on Sunday and would like to thank everyone who made my weekend such a blast! I had many people reach out to me after my first post and ask for some 'knucks', but I can't just give them out to everyone at one time! Ryan Gotsche is getting 'knucks' this week for many reasons, he made my day when he tripped up the stairs, he keeps me company is Macro and Natty-D, and he took that picture for me. Another set of 'knucks' go to the crew I hangout with at Chase Manhattan Apartments (Derek,Travis,Jordan,Ted,Alyssa,Brooke,Meggan and Allie). They are a very fun group to hangout with. The last 'knucks' of the week go to Daniel Thomas, He is currently 3rd in the nation in rushing yards. So "Knucks" to you DT.

I would like to thank everyone who supports my blog by going out of your way to reading it, please feel free to comment on them and let me know what you think. Until next time, peace out dudes....
