Oh man, am I such a sour mood today. I’m not even in a mood to type on this blog, but I am.
After receiving another gut-cringing exam score, (18/30, FIN 300), I am hoping that my professor can adjust it to give me a better shot at passing the class with a “C.” There is nothing worse I hate that having to drop two classes after getting scores that made this class look like a waste of money. I told this to my instructor that I want to pass the class. He told me, “Getting a C in this class should be very easy.”
That is a load of bull. I don’t believe in such horseshit if I receive scores like this. When these scores add up, it adds that much stress because the chances of failing the class increase drastically. I can only hope that my instructor decides to go ahead and do this. I don’t like finishing this class with a “D,” a “W”, or god forbid, an “F.”
I went to class still feeling miserable after seeing this news. I lost focus, wasn’t interested in learning Chapter 14 in HRM 360, and what’s even more fucked up is that I have an ECON 333 exam today! This is bad timing times infinity because I have to talk to my Finance instructor about this after my second ECON 333 midterm.
I’m going to look into taking FIN 300 again later this year with an instructor that can actually give me a shot at passing this class, and whose exams are open-book. I have too much on my plate.
So this is why the suicide rates are through the roof...
Somehow I don't think there's a rock big enough for Reynolds to hide under. I hope I'm not the only one who has lost faith in our coach. This isn't like the JCs, where you're not as much a liability, especially if you can be on tenure. And this isn't the DII level either.With losses like the one our guys faced tonight, the calls for his dismissal keep growing to the fact that it was a bad decision to have him finish it out, but can you blame Vic Cegles?
God. I leave it to you to figure that out.

2006: a year of mourning
They say that death is another part of life. When it is your time to pass away, you will do so. There have been so many famous people who died this year. I can name hundreds of people I knew one way or another who died this year. My friend Milly Andriole, who I used to read from scripture with at my local church. Jack Palance, who I knew for his aftershave commercial. Corretta Scott King. Kirby Puckett. Bobby Hatfield, one half of the Righteous Brothers. Billy Preston. Aaron Spelling. Susan butcher. Maynard Ferguson. The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin. Red Auerbach. Ed Bradley. Gerald Levert. Bo Schembechler, who died this morning, the even of the Michigan-Ohio State game. And countless of young men and women who died in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I wonder, as I type on this blog, "When will I be next? When will it be my turn to leave this world? Am I ready? Do I deserve to die right now, when I feel I have at least 50 years left on my contract with life?"
Those who are still living today must appreciate life. You never know when that day comes when it is taken from you. If it will be my time, it should be when I have found happiness. But I don't want that to happen yet. Not yet. Not yet...
Is FireLarryReynolds.com up yet?
Oh. Fucking. No.
To lose to a bunch of gooney birds from Colorado Springs who will all die in Iraq anyway within the next two to three years (good riddance for taking part in a meaningless cause after being fed on taxpayer money, losers) has to be frustrating. Not just for me, and the students who couldn't be in Palo Alto, but for the bunch of inept beefcakes that is the Long Beach State 49er Men's Basketball team. And the reason? It's simple. They beat themselves. Poor shooting. Getting in the team penalty too early in the second half. Poor ball handling, bad fouls...but mostly inept shooting that would leave even the Anaheim Arsenal's players think, "WTF is wrong with this team; we'll kill them by 40!"
That's what I was thinking when Long Beach State faced Air Force tonight. To lost 69-68 has to be a very ominous start for Larry Reynolds. Ominous, as in bad news. Terrible beginning. As Lily C. Sherbet of Galaxy Angel Rune would say, "NG-da." Not good. In fact, if this is how Long Beach State is going to play this season, this will be Reynolds' final year. I was hoping they would end his contract last season, but Vic Cegles decided to give him one more chance.
Obviously, Reynolds needs to get W's upon W's, and reduce the L's. Those L's are like cholesterol that clog up your arteries. Losing is a disease that can affect a university, and it can be contagious if it isn't treated with wins.
That being said, I hope there is a FireLarryReynolds.com up right now. This should have been a W for the Beach. Instead, it's an L, and perhaps it's no coincidence why those tards from Men's Fitness ranked us as the fattest university in the nation. This cholesterol of losing is going to kill the men in the end if they don't get into shape, and pile on some wins.
Give those Air Force Falcons credit. Those future Iraqi/Afghanistan casualties who will have died for a meaningless cause deserved this win. Hopefully this will be their last for the Zoomies, but the way they have played tonight, it won't look like it.
Fucking gooney birds.
zOMG Ohio State Bunny Rabbits!
I can't believe what I head on the radio in Hawaii. One of the callers on the station's talk show lambasted an attack on June Jones, the Warrior football coach, going so far as to say that changing the team name from the Warriors back to the Rainbows is soft, and is akin to calling the Ohio State Buckeyes the Ohio State Bunny Rabbits. Classic.
By the way, the radio station was ESPN 1420 AM in Honolulu, home of University of Hawaii Athletics. When I don't keep tabs on the local teams, I check and see how my Warrior football team is doing. I think they will be bowling by the end of this Saturday.
Also, I hope my Long Beach State women's soccer wins the Big West Tournament this weekend. This will really make me happy, as my school has never won a conference crown in women's soccer. That might change by Sunday.
I can't believe John Kerry would score an own goal less than a week before the midterm elections. While that may not make significant effect (at least I it doesn't) in the election on Tuesday, Kerry might as well be a godsend for the struggling [sic] Republicans. We'll find out when the 7th comes.
I've got 2 easy classes and 3 hard ones this semester. I just hope survive with at least a C in each of them (though one of them should be an A).
