let's get it started

well the day is finally here...the spurs season opener. even if i hadn't been counting down the days i would have known it was around the corner...for i was chillin w/ tim duncan in my dream last night. that's like the 4th or 5th time that's happened. i love those dreams...a bit of a bummer to wake up and realize timmy d isn't really my friend...but hey maybe some day. i'm confident in the fellas. we brought in some young talent...so the team's average age is now 29....rather than last year's 30. it'll be a tough stretch without manu to start off the year, but pop's system is solid enough to carry us. i am so stoked. here's to another banner in the at&t center and many good times.

it's that time of year

well the spurs season opener is less than a week away...what good times ahead!!! meanwhile, tonight was the institute fall festival. not exactly my cup of christmas cocoa, but i thought it a good opportunity to dress up as manu. in this picture i'm pretty close to authentic. the shorts are replicas. but i'm wearing an authentic spurs long sleeve tee, w/ an authentic cut-sleeve shootaround shirt, as well as the authentic pregame warmup jacket. i'm also wearing the authentic nba logo socks...and the nike air max chosen are the shoes manu wore his rookie year...back in the day. i'm sporting a manu ginobili rubberband bracelet as well. on this day i'm even rockin a bum left ankle just like manu is. (i rolled mine on wednesday playin ball...not as severe as manu's, but hey we both got bum left ankles) i'm also sporting some facial stubble a la manu...besides that, the other good times in my life are the texas football game on saturday afternoon...and anxiously awaiting my LSAT score report...which should come any day now. hopefully that'll be good times.

...yikes!!!

well i made the 4 hour drive to ft. worth texas to go to a highly anticipated matchup between tcu and byu. i was hoping for a good game...unfortunately, the byu football team didn't quite make it to texas. they got it handed to them. this smile in the picture i took pregame was about the last time i smiled. i was actually pretty fired up before hand. there was a pretty good turnout of byu fans...and max hall was jumping up and down getting us fired up...then they did the haka and i was stoked. but the good times were over after the opening kickoff. after a while i resorted to entertainment from the byu cheerleaders...which for me is actually a pretty big deal. don't get me wrong i still watched the football...it just got old seeing byu go three and out over and over again. plus i had a lot of whiny and ignorant fans around me. i don't expect people's knowledge of the game and/or players to be on my level...but if you're gonna be all whiny ya gotta know what you're talking about. all in all though, i had a good time. i enjoyed the little road trip there and back. so it was still good times.

good times indeed

well this past weekend was definitely some good times. i went to provo to visit friends from the mish and hang out with the fam for a bit. i stayed at my buddy john cannon's place there in provo. we met up with perkes and visited the andino family from the mish. they moved to utah a little while ago...she fed us pupusas and we ate like kings. (o sea...comimos como los reyes) then i enjoyed a few byu parties. there were many a fine breezy there...realmente es una tierra de oportunidad. then on saturday i awoke to thoroughly enjoy the texas longhorns victory over ou. it was so sweet. i enjoyed flaunting my texas gear all weekend long...including a nice smile and wink at a dude sporting an ou beanie at the byu game...it got too cold for my byu jersey so i had a texas beanie and hoody on. it was sweet. the byu game was also very fun. byu won 21-3 including an exciting touchdown pass to austin collie right in front of us. i then enjoyed another shindig on saturday night where i got to hangout w/ volzy who is another great mission bud. hermana bell from our district in columbia was there as well as elizabeth smart.(of fame to many utahns or anyone who watches the news) then i went to church w/ cannon at byu...otra vez, les digo que es una tierra de gran oportunidad. then i went over to amber and matt's to hang out w/ them and the little ones. i enjoyed having them crawl all over me and eat candy with me. on monday i had a nice little walk with my buddy sinjin. then mom and amber picked up some delicious five guys burgers and fries for me. more fond mission memories. for anyone who hasn't had five guys...i highly recommend it. they're coming soon to texas...hopefully san antonio. well i must say these were some good times.

i am so stoked...

well this coming weekend has the makings of the greatest weekend of college football in my short little life of 26 years. i'll be in provo at lavell edwards stadium in the cold and maybe even a little snow to watch the #9 cougars take on new mexico. but before that...the red river rivalry game will square off at the cotton bowl...amidst the texas state fair...where the #1 oklahoma sooners (boo!) will take on the #5 texas longhorns (hook 'em!) this game is huge. i am so stoked for both of these games. as if that wasn't enough...there's a huge sec matchup between #4 lsu and #11 florida. this should most definitely make for some righteously good times. HOOK 'EM HORNS!!!!!

glad to get it over with

well i was up with the sunrise on a saturday morning to head over to utsa to take the LSAT. i'm glad to be done with it. now i just have the three week wait for the scores to deal with. it was long and grueling...about four and a half hours...but it actually went by kinda fast,because they do it in sections and one is always in a rush to do all you can in thirty five minutes. i suppose it was an interesting experience. it sounded like most people planned to blow off some steam post-LSAT by having an alcoholic smorgasborg...i opted for a spirtitual smorgasborg...(aka general conference)...and a texas football game. so i reckon that's good times.

p.s. oh yea...it's officially red river rivalry week...hook 'em horns...beat OU!!!
