Thanksgiving was great. The shopping was fantastic. Being with family, good food, etc, etc... but the BIG EAST CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY was clearly the highlight of my weekend. It was exciting, emotional, triumphant... and all of the things that college football should be. Now we should be Miami bound for the Orange bowl which unfortunately because of forces beyond my control, I am not able to go which bums me out like you couldn't even believe.
Still, we'll have a big BCS party and it will be great for those who stayed behind. Oh and Ohio State is also going to a BCS bowl. Ick. I really wanted to be Ohio's ONLY BCS team this year. And it looks like Notre Dame might be getting rid of Weis because Let's face it Notre Dame looks TERRIBLE... and word is that Brian Kelly is numero uno on their list. I know that he's Number 1 for the fans at least that what the boards/blogs seem to indicate. I've always hated ND but I think Kelly did a great job here and who can blame a guy for taking a 50% increase in pay? I can't. Plus ND is his dream job so it would be such a let down for Cincinnati, but understandable in reality. Plus, UC would then become a GREAT looking prospect for other coaches. I think Mike Thomas would make the right decision too.
Lauren went to the game and because of some internal turmoil that she's dealing with was very quiet. It's hard to see your best friend make a decision that you know will hurt her time and time again. Of course, after I finally put my foot down, she felt it necessary to repeat all of my (many, many) mistakes I've made and how she never put me down or told me I was making bad decisions.
All I could say was, 'You should have. A good friend does. You should have shaken me out of the funk and said 'listen dude, you're screwing up your life!' So that's what I'm trying to do for her. I know that with Love you have to let people make the mistakes and learn. But there comes a turning point when you say to yourself, 'this may be the mistake that ruins her life! That makes her cry again and again! And there's nothing I can do but watch her as it happens?!' I'm not good at consoling people after breakups. I suck at it. So I cant' really know what to say but I just... Im hurting to see her hurt so much. I want it to stop.
Anyway enough of my babble. After the game, I went to Shanna's and we put up her Christmas tree and George made a great dinner. I really got to spend a lot of time with my friends this weekend which is awesome.
I have a million projects I need to work on and all I really want to do is blog. Maybe I'll be back later after I dive into this pile of stuff to do.
