Forever Young

He did it again…

One of the most innovative commercials I’ve seen in a while… for those of you who don’t notice he’s running through all his album covers.

Gave Blueprint 3 a listen through… not saying it goes uber hard but it definitely goes.

To infinity and beyond…

29 08 2009

When I was younger I wanted to be one of two things, an astronaut or a teacher… as time went on I realized I would never be an astronaut and teaching didn’t pay well at all.

Tonight I find myself a week removed from student teaching, sitting at home watching a space shuttle launch live online.

This week’s been pretty crazy, I started my student teaching over at Woodholme Elementary, planning and setting up the classroom before the kids show up.  It’s been very educational and fun at the same time… So far I’ve been highly motivated and its not looking like that’s gonna stop anytime soon.  I really am looking forward to making a difference in the lives of children, hopefully being a positive enough influence to somehow make living life better for them.  A lot is up in the air, and so much has to do with God’s will.  You never know where you’ll end up, so just make the best of every opportunity that comes along.

Point of my post: After I become the best teacher on this planet I’m going to go up in space and be the best in the universe… to infinity and beyond





Preseason

25 08 2009

Let’s start with expectations…

-Expected Leon to bust out with a huge return then for Sanchez to march gang green down for an easy score, at least dazzle with another bomb to Clowney…

-Defense tostop the run with ease, clog up any holes, get at Flacco early and often, and easily ball hawk in the secondary…

Let’s take a look at what happened…

-Leon was electrifying and so was Leonhard must have been fun for him to go against his old team… Leon also lit it up in the running game and catching game… MVP of this offense thus far, most likely from here on out.

-The Franchez looked razzled early as the Ravens attacked early… enough at least to cause that interception on his first throw… He didn’t look calm and poised at all… The Ravens really picked on the rookie, I guess I forget our first game WAS against the Rams.  He pulled it together and allowed the team to pull within enough reach for him to find Leon for their highlight TD.

-On to the defense, the much hyped Rex Ryan led defense… Bart Scott looked antsy and at times over zealous… we’ll let that slide, he was playing his former team.  Safeties blitzed quite a bit and that was fun to see some pressure on Flacco, not enough from the D-line as far as pass rushing but we had some missing links that should fill that void… literally.  Derek Mason lit us up, but then again Mr. Revis didn’t play… a bit disappointed in Sheppard and Lowery’s play… for fighting it out 2nd on the depth chart it was just an utter mess.

Lazy follow up.

13 08 2009

So to follow up on my whole “Joe’s too lazy” campaign.. I’ve decided to get into bicycling. While in the preliminary stages (researching bikes and places to ride it) I’ve realized that biking has gotten such huge facelifts since I was a kid… or at least its just real deep and I never saw it this way. Either way, theres a lot to look at. From mountain to road to commuting theres a bike for any and every situation out there. I think I’ve narrowed in on few choices but I’m going to wait it out a bit longer to see if this is just a phase I’m going through (snowboarding) or a life long passion (sneakers or pokemon).

More to come…

Point of my post: I love sneakers and pokemon





Lazy…

12 08 2009

Excuses excuses… that’s how I do when it comes to working out. This upcoming semester I’m gonna try to get some sort of routine together as far as working out or even just playing ball more. I saw this video on some blog and it reminded me of how motivational I was when I first saw it…

Once again the season’s quickly approaching and I’m almost tempted to get excited… who am I kidding, I’m pretty excited. For almost nothing we got a future HOF QB, new coach, high expectations from the defense .. yada yada yada..
