I know that my last post wasn't exactly cheerful, but before I go on to boring anybody with the noneventful weekend i had, I want to say thanks to moltenpanther (or ben) and Brian for commenting(as if there ever is anyone else there to comment). Both of you helped me realize that freaking out about my situation wouldn't help at all, and status update:things are slowly getting better. I am working with my manager to fix the issue this week.
Now that that's settled, my weekend:
I am quite unhappy to announce that our football team lost by over 30 points on Friday night...
I am, however, quite estatic to announce that I predicted at least a 25 point lost. Man, am I good.
Anyways, clearly the game wasn't the victory we were looking for. It really showed us how terrible our team actually is. As my good friend Jilian put it: "They look like a bunch of overweight chicks running around in tight pants like little pansies...".
That was the best comment they got all night.
But, Saturday was much better. As mentioned before in previous posts, I am an avid debater. I love to debate, to research current events, to practice the art of persuasion...Its all quite fascinating really. My debate partner and I don't get along too well, so Saturday really was a test of our ability to work together as a team at a very difficult tournament. We apparantely did well because....
WE WON FIRST PLACE IN CX DEBATE! WE WON THE TOURNAMENT!
Trust me, that is crazy awesome! In my three years, the highest I ever placed was third. To win...that's a whole other level! I guess the best part about it was knowing that the previous teams that recently graduated won't be the end of our school's debating legacy. Forever, I've always looked up to them and hoped that I could reach their level of commitment and achievement. Now, I'm actually there! Its an extremely gratifying accomplishment to know that it can only go up from here. First we will dominate district, then state, and the NATIONALS in LAS VEGAS!!! *music in background * viva las vegas! viva las vegas.....*end music*
I would write about Sunday, but there isn't much to say. Church, family went to oklahoma, I stayed home (because I was going to work that evening), watched LOST, ect.
Shocked but Estatic,

"Things will get better." -Me on October 12th, 2007
The prophecy has come true! How do I do it?
Joking aside, MAJOR Congrats on winning your debate tournament... (Cue that song from the end of The Karate Kid, "You're the Best around, nothings goin to ever keep you down") I wish you the best of luck on your quest to dominate your way to Las Vegas.
Oh and don't feel too bad about that 30+ point loss... 2 years ago my high school lost a game by 48 points.
-Brian
And a couple weeks ago, our team slaughtered a team 66-7. It was pretty bad...for them, I mean. At least it wasn't that bad.
But I agree with Brian, congratulations!!!
