Music

Anything that I do in life, whether it is a sport, work, or just going for a walk involves music. I love listening to music, and sometimes wish that it was played anywhere and everywhere you go. My music library on my computer is the largest of all my friends. I dont listen to just one type of music; I like every kind of music, it just depends on what kind of mood I'm in. If I want to relax I will listen to some country or throw in some oldies. When I workout I like to listen to rock to get me in the mood and get the adrenaline rushing. At parties, or even if i just want to dance around in my room i will listen to some rap and hip hop. For those road trips with your buddies, nothing beats classic rock with some Sister Christian or The Warrior. I always have my Ipod with me and try to listen to it anytime I can. Everyone should love music like me because you cannot listen to music and be in a bad mood.

Steeler Game

I watched the Steeler game last night, and I was truely upset by the outcome :(. I was sure that they were going to win after the first drive when they pounded the ball down the field for over 90 yards for a touchdown. Even though the Bears lost their heart and soul of their team, Brian Urlacher, they were able to upset our superbowl champs team. It did not help that we also did not have our top defensive player, Troy Polamalu. I guess your team cannot win them all even though you feel that they should. All I have to say is watch out Cincy the Steelers are coming for the Bungles! (as the late great Myron Cope would say)

Rugby

Today my day was spent watching rugby. I went to the rugby pitch at 10:15 am and didnt get back to my room until 4:00 pm. The first game was played by the girls team. They faced Allegheny College, and destroyed them by a score of 89-0. After watching the girls dominate in their game, it was now time for the guys to play. Our "A" side, or Varsity, played first against Fairmont State from West Virginia. The game got very intense, and almost errupted into a fight multiple times. Luckily nobody got into a fight, and we won 22-17 bringing our record to one win and one loss. The "B" side, or JV, then played Duquesne in which they lost 14-0. Although it was very hot and sunny out, it ended up being a great day for rugby.

My Shoulder

You may not realize how useful something is until you do not have it, or it is unable to be used. Yesterday at rugby practice I was running the ball when I decided to lower my shoulder and try to run through the tackler. Once i hit him, a pain shot from my shoulder all the way through my body, and dropped me to my knees. I had to leave practice to go to the ER to hear the bad news on how my shoulder was injured. After going through X-rays and an examination by a doctor, they informed me that I had seperated my shoulder and would have to be in a sling for a few weeks. It is really hard to only be able to use one arm. I have to adjust daily task that used to be effortless, like putting a shirt on. I could not imagine what some people have to go through when they lose limbs in war or accidents. It makes life a hassel.
