Week 10 College Football Blog

Well, its week 10 and Auburn is 1-7 for the season. After getting manhandled by Texas A+M 63-21, this tiger season will for sure be a bowl gameless season, and im quite sure that some coaches are gonna get fired. Ugh. The worst season in 60 years, and Auburn won the BCS National Championship just two years ago. How did they fall soo far? Once again, ugh. And there is the University of Alabama, (Auburn's archrival) sitting uptop as the best team in college football. It would take an act of God for Auburn to win this year's IronBowl @ UA.

Now to a different subject, because AU is just too depressing to continue talking about.

How about that Notre Dame @ Oklahoma game this past saturday? My goodness those Fighting Irish looked pretty good on Defense. The Middle Linebacker for Notre Dame (named Manti Teo) had a great performance, and if Notre Dame goes completely undefeated for the whole season, he would be my favorite for the Heisman. Which it would be pretty cool for a defensive player to win the Heisman because that hasn't happened since Charles Woodson won the Heisman. Manti Teo has had soo many challenges in his life this season as his grandmother and girlfriend died on the same day, in such a short amount of time. He had to overcome alot for his team, and he has found a way to be an inspirational leader for the Notre Dame team. His ability to overcome soo much has him pegged as my favorite for the Heisman this year.

The Case for Torture Blog

In his essay, "The Case for Torture", Michael Levin argues that if law enforcement/military is put into a situation where if the only way to find/stop a terrorist from attacking and killing many people, that they should be able to torture him if he refuses to tell the information needed to stop the attack. He goes on to talk about the points of views where it can be rationalized to torture the terrorist, and the other point of view where he reasonably argues against someone refusing to let the terrorist be tortured.

I for one fully agree with Michael Levin in this essay. If i was the one that had to make the call on whether or not the terrorist needed torturing, i would easily say "yes, torture is necessary". Not saying that it wouldn't be a difficult decision, but i would much rather torture one evil man to a near point of death vs letting millions of innocent people die. Quite frankly, it seems like a no-brainer to me. Unless you don't have a conscious and you could live the choice of letting all of those innocent people die.

My toe blog2

My toe looks much better after the 6th day outta surgery. I have been putting bandages/polysporin on it everyday, and wore sandals a few days (im sure everyone appreciated smelling my feet), lol. But yeah, my toe is gettin better all the time, so it wont be long. This will probably be my last toeblog, but who knows.

Goodbye to the Work Ethic

In her essay from the late eighties entitled, "Goodbye to the Work Ethic," social critic Barbara Ehrenreich asserts that, yuppies (quite frankly she didnt even explain what yuppies are) work too hard and make everyone else look bad because everyone else doesn't work as hard. She just goes on and complains more about "work ethic" and time periods that maybe work ethic actually came to be. She also talks about motherhood among things that strikes as Work Ethic.

Although I disagree with an overwhelming majority of what Ehrenreich says, i only agree to her final standpoint where everyone should just get there job done, and no one should have to complain about other people not pulling there weight. She just seemed so incredibly disagreeable to me in this essay. Its great to have a good work ethic. Work Ethic puts money in our pockets to put food on the table. I think i just said enough.

Halo Blog- it finally happened

After many many years of dominating friends on the Halo game i talk about alot, i finally played someone last night who truly showed me that they were better than me. That sucked, but now i know there is room for improvement. I dont really have time for improvement since im in college right now, and she takes up alotta my time, so this might be the close end to my Halo Career. It seems just like yesterday i started out, but oh well.

Halloween

Halloween is probably my favorite holiday. Why? Because, i used to work in haunted houses and scare people. I find it very fun to scare people in that fashion. I mean c'mon, who doesn't love a clown chasing you around with a chainsaw? Well, for a few years at the Haunted Houses, i used to be a clown that just runs around chasing the frightened with a chainsaw. Its such a great sight to witness all that excitement on their faces. I did my best to make sure the scared people got their money's worth. I mean, yeah, there are gonna be plenty of people that go to Haunted Houses and just dont get scared, mainly because they know that nothing there would hurt them, or nothing there just doesnt scare them. I have worked at them long enough that i can go to other places and not get scared, but ill get very excited and it brings me joy to be there for that stuff. So, thats my halloween blog

Auburn @ Vanderbilt (college football blog)

My auburn football team played at vanderbilt last week and lost 17-13. Very dissapointing loss for my tigers. Now they are 1-6 for the year, but congratulations to a certain person is in order! The starting runningback for vanderbilt, his name is Zac Stacey, and he set the new all time rushing yards mark for Vanderbilt football with 2,660+  yards rushing for a career. He passed this mark during the 4th quarter vs Auburn. Why do i congratulate him? Because, Zac Stacey is from Centreville Alabama, which is currently where my home is (aside from staying on campus for the week). So, congrats on the new record Z-man.
