We tied, 1-1. Our new star Matt gave me a good assist, but with less than five minutes left Mr. Benware's son Nathan (who plays for Lincoln) flopped and got a PK, which he promptly put away. We also lost Mike and Lauren (from St. Mary's) to injuries. So kind of a disappointing ending. I have put some pictures on the Flickr link in the sidebar, but I've already exceeded the month's limit, so I will begin abusing the system by creating Yahoo accounts until the job is done. Anyway, use the slideshow. Its almost like you were there. But you weren't, because we had no support.

"When you wonder about the mystery of yourself, look to Christ, who gives you the meaning of life. When you wonder what it means to be a mature person, look to Christ, who is the fulfillness of humanity. And when you wonder about your role in the future of the world look to Christ."
"Do not abandon yourselves to despair. We are the Easter people and hallelujah is our song."
"Have no fear of moving into the unknown. Simply step out fearlessly knowing that I am with you, therefore no harm can befall you; all is very, very well. Do this in complete faith and confidence."
We were blessed to have him as our pope.

Tribute
You probably already heard that the comedian Mitch Hedberg died yesterday. I really liked his stuff. He had a unique voice and very skilled delivery that text could never translate, but I thought I'd share some of the best anyway, as a small token of my respect for his talent:
-It's very dangerous to wave to people you don't know because what if they don't have hands? They'll think you're cocky. "Look what I got motherfucker!"
-The thing about tennis is: no matter how much I play, I'll never be as good as a wall. I played a wall once, they're fucking relentless.
-You know they call corn-on-the-cob "corn-on-the-cob," but that's how it comes out of the ground. They should just call it corn, and every other type of corn "corn-off-the-cob". It's not like if someone cut off my arm they would call it "Mitch", and then re-attach it, and call it "Mitch-all-together".
-2-in-1 is a bullshit term. 1 is not big enough to hold 2, that's why 2 was created.
-If carrots got you drunk, rabbits would be fucked up.
-I got my hair highlighted, because I felt some strands were more important than others.
- Alcoholism is a disease, but it's the only one you can get yelled at for having. Goddamn it Otto, you are an alcoholic.
Goddamn it Otto, you have Lupis... one of those two doesn't sound right.
-I went to the park and saw this kid flying a kite. The kid was really excited. I don't know why, that's what they're supposed to do. Now if he had had a chair on the other end of that string, I would have been impressed.
-I got an ant farm. Them fellas didn't grow shit.
-My lucky number is four billion. That doesn't come in real handy when you're gambling. "Come on, four billion! Fuck. Seven. I need more dice, 4 billion divided by 6, at least."
-This product that was on TV was available for four easy payments of $19.95. I would like a product that was available for three easy payments and one complicated payment. We can't tell you which payment it is, but one of these payments is going to be hard.
-You know when they have a fishing show on TV? They catch the fish and then let it go. They don't want to eat the fish, they just want to make it late for something.
-I had a stick of Carefree gum, but it didn't work. I felt pretty good while I was blowing that bubble, but as soon as the gum lost its flavor, I was back to pondering my mortality.
- I would imagine if you could understand Morse Code, a tap dancer would drive you crazy.
-I never joined the army because at ease was never that easy to me. Seemed rather uptight still. I don't relax by parting my legs slightly and putting my hands behind my back. That does not equal ease. At ease was not being in the military. I am at ease, bro, because I am not in the military.
-Why are there no during pictures?
I'll try to find a video or sound clip, because you have to have his voice and tone in your head while you read it to get the full impact of this man's genius.

The Game was a total success. The short story paper for AP English that I wrote in the time between the time of 7:30 and 1:30 (without a free period) got a 98. I did have most of the conclusion written down when I got to school, but the rest I wrote in a journal during another class then transcribed in what library time I had. And there was a paragraph I wrote after leaving English class with about 15 minutes left, pretending to go upstairs and print it because I had found a typo. Ha! There were typos abound in the final version. I seriously think the man favors me because of our pre-Jesuit acquiantance. There were some pretty good ideas in there, and more style than I normally have, but I read it a few minutes ago and was cringing at the many awkward places and typos I didn't have time to check for.

Wilco and Bright Eyes are on Austin City Limits at 11, so you should probably watch that.

*Dr. Evil Voice* Ten MILLION Dollars!
The Outsiders Looking In
Here is the question: What would you do with 10 Million dollars? Would you be greedy and spend it all on yourself? Would you plan ahead and invest some of it, if so how? What would you buy and how would you use the money?
10 million dollars? Two words: shopping spree! Personally I hate shopping, but when you have 10 million dollars, you can actually afford to buy just about anything. The main thing I hate abotu shopping is the buyer's regret. You know the feeling, where you start to question your choice, "you know, i think the blue shoes would have looked better than the grey ones". With 10 million dollars, you don't have to suffer from buyer's regret for quite a while. You can just go back and buy the grey shoes as well as the blue ones.
My list of things I would buy:
--1965 Ford Mustang, Black, Convertible, Good Chrome
--Basically the parts to build 4 or 5 top of the line computers
--a LEGIT copy of Windows XP Pro
--Buy a new house, pay in full for the parents, completely renovated
--Buy a beach house
--Give a million to each of the parents for IRA (Retirement account)
--Buy a trip into space in the Spaceship 1
--Buy a seat on a submersible to visit the Titanic
--Buy a B-17 bomber from the junk yards in New Mexico
--Invest the rest
PS I made a comment in the Topic "One Day Left" however it doesn't appear that the date updated. Just wanted you to be aware that there is new stuff there.
PPS The news just went up on CNN.com that the Pope is in a coma. Just thought that you guys would want to know
