Some of my friends recently started blogging and I have now decided to add to the fun. My purpose in writing these excerpts is to highlight some events in my life and to tell some interesting anecdotes. Before I started writing today, I went and looked up the word "blog" in an online dictionary. The result led me to "weblog." I found this interesting considering that I will be writing most of these blogs and there is no "we" involved in any of these. I am not married, nor dating anyone, and the idea of describing my roommates and I as "we" is just downright creepy. Why would they call these things "we-blogs"anyway? I am sure that as I continue to write and gain some experience with blogging, I will get to the bottom of this.
I went to the Baylor vs. Texas basketball game today and left Austin with a bad taste in my mouth for multiple reasons. First of all, the Bears lost. The Bears have lost to Texas 21 straight times. 21 times!!! At this point in the season, it looked like Jerrells and the crew were ready to break the streak. Unfortunately, the Bears let a solid first half lead disappear into an eight point loss. To properly express my second frustration, I would like to include some quotes I heard from Baylor students sitting around me:
"Bull____, Bull____," in reference to a bad call.
"Durant is gone!!!" (i have no idea why this makes any difference in the game, which was just ignorant and annoying).
And my personal favorite,
"God still loves us more," in response to the loss.
The last quote is still running through my mind because it wasn't followed with an, "I am just kidding," or "Haha, what if that was true?" It sounded like the scholar behind me really believes God prefers those who attend Christian universities or don't commit the "big" sins of drinking and sleeping around like "those Longhorns." It was a sad comment and it sincerely bothered me.
I still had a great time in Austin today. The story of the Bears' revival is stunning and should be well documented. Maybe I will talk about that later.
