The Big Game
I think I've talked about this topic before but I'm bored at work today so I thought I would write a lil sumpin sumpin.
Anyone who knows me knows that I am a HUGE college basketball fan. I'll watch any kind of college b-ball no matter if it is women's or men's.
Anyway... my favorite college out there is Kansas University. They have so much rich basketball history, the fans are phenominal, the players are great (for the most part) and the traditions are amazing. Brynn and I have season tickets to the women's basketball games so we've been supporting the team all season long. They started out at 12-0 and made KU B-Ball history with the best start in women's basketball for the school and then they took a turn for the worse. They lost several away games, they looked flat and appeared as if they had just run out of gas.
Now, I'm a die hard fan and I'll stick behind my girls. Brynn and I went up to K-State (our in-state rival) and watched our team basically fall apart for the first half and the majority of the second. Something in them sparked and they came back to cut a huge lead to a small one and there was a *slight* chance that we might be able to pull out a win and break a eight game losing streak against the 'Cats. No such luck, they beat us and we walked away with another defeat.
Tonight, the Wildcats come to Allen Fieldhouse and I think our girls are ready. It's going to be a tough game but I KNOW that we can pull out the win and break the losing streak against them. K-State has lost four straight games and we have won two of the last couple that we have played. It is Senior night tonight and it's going to be tough saying goodbye to three great players that have played their heart out for a new coach.
This team is on the way, with all the struggles they have gone through this season, they will step into the next one with confidence and a chance to keeping the ball rolling on something great.
Rock Chalk Jayhawk - Go KU!

Tour Dates
The Dave Matthews Band announced their Spring & Summer tour dates this morning. My friend Shayna e-mails me first thing this morning and says "We're going to St. Louis and KC, you comin" (or something like that). Oh yeah, we're SO totally in. So... May 30th we'll be in St. Louis for show #1, then travel home on the 31st and see them in KC for show #2. I'm way excited!

New Toy
I've done it... I've become a sheep, I've crashed under the techno pressure. I bought an iPOD. I do not regret it and I am in complete love. This thing is absolutely beautiful. So sleek, so black... so shiny.. Yummy.

Sup!
Ahhh, once again the Holidays are almost over. After they end, I always feel so... sad? I guess that is the word I am looking for. It just feels like everything is coming to a close, the year has ended, Christmas is over and it's time to do it all over again.
I had a really good time during my little vacation. Brynn and I went out to Wamego, KS to visit her family and friends. We stayed out there for two days and then hit both of my parents' house on Sunday. Monday we took the dogs on a long ass hike and then did some shopping. It seemed like we didn't have MUCH of the weekend to ourselves, but it was nice to be away from work for a while.
Tomorrow, New Years Eve... another year, here we come. I cannot BELIEVE it is 2006 already, where does the time go? Just yesterday it felt as if we were ringing in 2000 and everyone was so worried that the world was going to crash. Maybe they'll be a bit more prepared for the year 3000? If we're all around to see that!
Anyway, Brynn and I have decided to stay home. I have to work tomorrow morning for end of year crud but it's only a short while. We'll watch some TV, drink some alcohol goodness and chill. Probably the safest bet with all the crazies runnin around.
On a side note, my Kansas Lady Jayhawks are 10-0 and we're going for history tonight folks. If the Lady J's can hit 11-0 they set a new record for best start in KU Women's Basketball history. We play LaSalle... let's see if we can do it!
Happy New Year to all and be safe!
