Hey everyone I’m back and this time I’m going to talk about something different, sports. Lately, I’ve just covered tech and a few of my personal adventures but now I’m going to cover a little bit of everything else that I love and hopefully you can enjoy as well. Now, as a New York Giants fan last Sunday was a long night watching them end the night with a loss to the Dallas Cowboys. A loss is one thing, especially after a comparably phenomenal performance by quarterback Eli Manning, but a loss of three key players to injury is much worse.
I cringed at the sight of seeing Eli Manning thrown to the ground with his throwing arm taking the blow Sunday night. Regardless of his history and expectations I saw a side of Eli earlier that night that made me think he could be the quarterback we’ve needed, and then he’s taken off the field. He seemed tough though, and after the game claimed he had a bruised shoulder. Myself and many other Giants fans took a sigh of relief with this, I’m sure. But, lately the story has been coming in telling varying stories from all sides. Giants head coach Tom Coughlin says Eli looks good, and on September 12 he took a few snaps, handoffs, and a few light throws. Now, Eli has been listed on a “Day to Day” basis as far as his return goes. (Click more for the rest of the story) (more…)
We Superbad August 24, 2007

Hey everyone, been a little while since my last update, so here’s what’s been going. I’m home now, back in Connecticut. I had a great time in the Pacific Northwest and Las Vegas and I miss it already (especially considering that school starts a week from yesterday). So what do I do? Well, I spend all my time with friends, so that’s why I have not been able to update. Past couple of days have been lacking in sleep but chock full of insanity. Yesterday was really spent just hanging around my neighborhood catching up with people, and today, today was the day I finally got to see Superbad.
If you are a fan of The 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up, or anything that is guaranteed to get you to laugh, you need to see Superbad. The movie was created by Seth Rogan (Knocked Up, 40 Year Old Virgin) and it is brilliant. There’s plenty of summaries of the movie out there, and the previews have been airing for a while now, so I won’t bore you with that. The movie has been out since August 17, and I was unable to see it on vacation, so I was thrilled to get the chance when I got home. It’s a great movie though, it’s nasty, it’s outrageous, it’s teenagers being teenagers. And, it really works. See it!
Well, I’m going to keep it brief, I’ve got a lot to do, including more packing. Once again I am leaving, this time for Maryland. I’m shooting down there tomorrow to see an Orioles game with some friends, really looking forward to that. I’ve been to the park at Camden Yards on a school trip, but have never seen a game. We’ll see what happens with that. Sunday I will be helping my friends brothers move into the University of Maryland, so I probably won’t be around at all this weekend. But, I will definitely update my Twitter page with the latest.
And as to my previous article about my iPhone update issue, oh what fun that was. I had to re-input all of my contacts because I never actually save my contacts in Outlook or anything, I’m not a fan, and I do not sync my iPhone with my Macbook. It was a painstaking process, but what can you do? I hope no one else had the same issues I did with the new update, but let me know if you did.
Later!
