Sweet Home Alabama

I went home for the weekend. It was much needed and too much fun. I got to see those i really missed and those i didnt. Why would i drive 8 hours for just a weekend?! Well I tagged along with Chris Frakes who just happened to be making a trip to Scottsburo. It worked out perfect because this weekend was Big Spring Jam in Huntsville, AL. For my local readers and those who dont know what Big Spring Jam is, its a time in Huntsville that happens once a year where many big and up coming artist from all across the nation and put on a small show for the fans. Some big artist for this past weekend include Akon, The Fray, and yeah thats about it. The reason it is called Big Spring Jam and happenin in the summer/fall is due to the name of the park: Big Spring Park. It took me a while to figure that one :/ and sometimes i still forget. This event attracts all crowds ranging from ages 12 months to 90 years old, but the majority of the crowd falling in the 12-16 age range. Despite all this we still did attend BSJ. It was not easy to leave my projector while watching the Florida Gators murder the Kentucky Wildcats and go to see the Fray. Especially when Tebow went down. Talk about scary, i think i threw up more than he did when he went down. I still feel quezzy and he is okay now. Leaving and checking my phone for updates we did eventually make it to the jam like i said and it was so much fun this was when i saw most of the people i didnt want to see. So chances are if you where at the jam and we ran into each other you would fall into that category (ok thats a lie im totally kidding). So my best friend and I where at the fray concert trying to meet up with some of our friends who are on the front row when these ladys/moms approach us... DUN DUN DUN! Not exactly the age range we were shooting for, but they just wanted a Florida update. i did not know these moms total strangers, but just like always i was guilty of wearing a gator shirt and they wanted to know the final score. YEA RIGHT. Ended up i was right no mom cares about sports or final scores (they were from Florida though i will give them that). We must have talked to these ladies for the enitre concert and no it was not about sports. Just some friendly moms trying to hook up their daughters. They were texting their daughters about how they are talking to two cute boys and that the best get out of the crowd and come meet us. Although they were making things easier for Ashkan and I, we were totally down for it until they wanted to show off their daughters in pictures! They were cute just not our type. Thats when we knew we had to get out. Well on our exit they insisted we take pictures with them and kindly we did and left quite swiftly. (Just for clarification we did not leave right when they showed us the pictures chill! They showed us the pictures like mid-way in the concert keep in mind we talked to them the whole concert minus one song.) So we left then i saw on of those people i didnt want to see who i had been avoiding and we turned around and came back to the stage where the Fray was playing and it has just ended. So we quickly went to the side to meet back up with our friends and OH NO. We got stopped. No it was not the moms it was the daughters who adamitly stepped clearly in our path and said " HEY we know you! You two were just talking to our moms werent you?!" I was shaking my head in astonishment thinking what are the odds. They even pulled out their phone to show us picture messages their mom had sent them to prove to us they were the ones whom we were "trying to meet" ha yeah right. We talked a little and then said our goodbyes. That was my adventure for Saturday night. There is more to the story for Saturday but thats another post for another time. Sunday rolls around and I got to step in and out of church for a minute. Enough time to mention it in my blog. Its still my favorite church by far with flawless staff and great people. But some things just never change; that lady that lets her daughter run around and does not one thing about it still goes, the one who comes in late and always sits front left, the family who comes in even later and doesnt find enough seats so they split, the youth who seem to sit in assigined seating, and the same small talk before every service still takes place. But without these assets Life's Journey would just be another church and i praise the lord its not. It was good to be home this past weekend cant wait till Brooks wedding to have a second round.

Cable

First of all sorry to all my two fans out there for not blogging as often. But lets be honest you saw it coming.... I mean i do live in the greatest city in the world. Anyways back to business. I feel like i have been so out of the loop lately. Not in a way to which i think have been missing things to do in Gainesville or missing out on a social life. No I would like to think im fine in those areas. No the loop im alluding to is of the world. You know like... the news! Im what you call not on the DL or i dont have my 411 straight. Like for instance did you know Micheal Jackson died?!? ha ok its not that bad i lied, more like Patrick Swayze. I have not seen CNN or Fox News since August 9, 2009. Some of yall are like well that must be nice or you might be like my grandmother and be thinking that must be hell. Well yes and no. Its nice because those shows are messed up and they only tell the public what they want to hear but thats to all the press not just Fox. Also its nice because it does force me to read now you can catch me in my off time at Panera Bread reading the paper with my Double Caff Latte` White Chocolate Mocha Stirred not Shaken with two shots of espresso. HAHA im totally kidding first off i hate Panera and you wont catch me dead there unless im taking my Mom out and that has to be a very special night. Love you Mom. I will read the Newspaper but its only the sports section of course and it will be at starbucks with a less complicated drink, a Carmel Frap. with extra carmel twice blended and whipped cream. All i really feel out of the loop about is sports anyways yeah... see when dont have cable and no cable means no ESPN, SunSports, CBS, TBS, ESPN360, ESPN 2, ESPN Classic, and Discovery Channel. All of this just means we watch tons of movies and then have nothing to do Sunday afternoons. So why post about me being out of the loop on the lastest with my favorite celebrites and ingury updates with the Florida Gators? Well its to warn those out there that cable is more important. Get a cheaper place where you have to walk two more blocks to get to class and pay $100 cheaper in rent so you can make room for cable. Some of yall dont have this problem, such as you have too much money and you got two blocks closer to campus with the new LED TV and HD Cable. Well in this case there are two things you need to do for me: 1- Invite me over. 2- Donate to Kory needs cable fund. Soon i will post a link to where you can donate to this fund every month around when the bill comes. Ok not really keep your money but just buy me something nice like tickets! Thats right This weekend is the biggest most talked up game of the season. Florida Gators vs. Tennessee Vols why so big? Well some coaches just cant keep there mouth shut, yep Lane Kiffin Coach for the Vols has been running his mouth and well the beat down is near. Many are coming down for this exciting event including my dad, bro, Taylor, and Ashkan. Well Hopefully. Cant wait to see yall! So this weekend go ahead and turn your tubes to the Florida Gators its ok this time because ill be at the game! Look for me. Thanks for reading i hope to get back into the groove soon. One love.

College Football

Well its that time of the year again. College football has rolled around for another highly anticipated season. Localy in Gainesville the fans are already getting crazy and the atmoshepre is insane. You may wonder why but its a no brainer. Florida has recieved the highest number one bids for the preseason AP polls in all of college football history. What does this mean? Let me break it down for you. Florida football has been going on for one hundred plus years and for the past couple of years we have hit our hot streak with two national championships and one Heisman. But this year everyone is putting their money on Florida to do it all again, another national title and two Heisman's for Tim Tebow. Florida is expected to come out and beat our first opponent Charleston Southern (tomorrow at seven) by sixty three points!!! Unfortunatly i will miss the game or maybe miss due to making money. Another question you may have is why would Charleston Southern come into the glorified swamp and get murdered by Florida well the answer is they get paid, 450,000 dollars to come and get there tails wooped by the number team in the nation. Hopefully this will be another great year to be a gator. But as the season kicks off with some games last night things are already getting heated as we can see in the Oregon vs Boise State game. Stay classy Oregon. Dont forget to tune in to watch the Florida Gators open the season and make history this season.
