Updation

I know I never update this thing anymore. No one probably even reads it anymore, because well, there is nothing to read. So I'll blab on about recent stuff to keep you occupied. School's been goin all right classwise. Got two midterms this friday which I'm not looking forward to. The weather's been kinda weird lately, it'll be cold and rainy (like today) but then be sunny and almost hot the next day. Kinda wish spring and steady warmer temperatures would just get here already.

Look below this post to see our magnificent dodgeball team uniform. It's my best work in my humble opinion.

Oh, just saw Constantine the other night (the new Keanu Reeves movie). It was good, special effects were real nice... and dark, religiousy movies where god and the devil tangle with humanity hanging in the balance are always winners in my book. And the devil shows up at the end in a rather humorous character. Go see it. Plus I think I heard an A Perfect Circle song midway through the movie at a demon night club, that made me want to get their latest album. Man, this is rambling...

We were supposed to see the movie at this place called Backlot, which is basically a fairly nice restaurant that shows movies. You can order alcohol too, which would have been fun, except it was sold out as soon as we all got there. So we had to go to Rock Bottom brewery to tie us over until it played 2 hours later at a different theatre. I also went to the Sweetwater brewery on thursday afternoon... gettin tired of the brewery beers. The different breweries seem to all have the same couple flavors that taste pretty similar between each place.

That's allright cause I got some miller lite at Spencer's last night. He had a keg party at his place. We were playing flip cup and beer pong outside. Turns out like no one knew how to play either game... it was freakin depressing... did these kids go to college or not??? The party was a real good time, I'll post a pic or two if I get them from the people who had cameras.

Ok, I'm out, Maryland plays UNC (#2 in the country) at 5:30 today. Bad thing is they molested us last time we met, the good thing is MD rules and we're the heavy underdog, which gives us the advantage. The other bad thing is it's Grinnon's last home game, so they may put him in just to be nice. Grinnon I want you to drain a 3 or dunk on someone reaaalllll bad. Go out with a bang.... who knows, the NBA talent scouts might be in the audience... just kidding.

Random Memory: I remember Petty and I wupping Mike Grinnon in beer pong back on New Years '03. For supposedly being one of the best technical shooters on the team he still couldn't touch us. Good times.

Here's what our dodgeball shirts are going to look like... best shirt ever!

BEAT DUKE

I know this happened last saturday, but something this great needs to be blogged. MARYLAND BEAT DUKE.... AGAIN. As in both regular season meetings ended with a MD W. I love it... it made my season.

And im not going to mention that they are currently getting wupped by NC State, cause its not important.... they beat duke twice. What a weird season its been, for most of the acc, GA tech too. MD ended up being better than Tech somehow (not that I doubted it). GO ACC, but GO TERPS more.

Ready....DODGEBALL!

Dodgeball season is fast approaching here at GA Tech. It is an official intramural sport for the spring... and yes I am playing. I got 15+ people together and we are going to dominate, or at least compete. Our team name was picked through an election of names and ended up being "Ben Berry and his Merry Band of All-Stars". No, I did not come up with the name or endorse it or even vote for it, but apparently it was a hit with the team. And of course with a crazy name like that, we must have uniforms. Im designing them at customink.com, its mad easy and fun and pretty cheap ($12 a shirt including shipping for 15 shirts). Ill put a picture up when we finalize the color, but here is a link to the first draft of the shirt:

Im also gonna play intramural softball, and today I played some pick-up volleyball at the gym. Apparently that goes on wednesday nights, so I gotta look into that. The people aren't nearly as good or hardcore as UMD pick-up players, but it'll do. I need some competitiveness back in my life... not that any of these sports are very intense.

I need a haircut

I really do.

MD BBall, it was the best of times, it was the worst of times

So Maryland ended up taking GA Tech to town on the court, which was very satisfying to watch. But then, of course, they lose to clemson of all teams. Maryland definitely just plays to their opponents level. On the plus side, duke lost to wake.

So lets recap... MD beat GA Tech (and Duke), GA Tech beat Wake, Wake beat Duke... so according to that logic MD should move to #2 in the ACC behind UNC (who wooped MD).

I think we'll make a fine showing in the ACC tourney this year.
