This past year I played on the Varsity football team for my high school. It was an unbelievable season where friendships were made will last a lifetime. We had an unfortunate loss in the second round of the playoffs ending our season. This was by far the hardest loss I have ever had, I have lost games before even playoff games, but there was nothing like this. Not just me, but the whole team we put so much time and effort into preparing for the season. Then for the seniors, Man that sucks that was the last time for a lot of them that they will ever put on pads and step on a field. With this happening it makes me more motivated for next year to be the best that I can. I am lucky that I have another year to play football and hopefully play at the next level. Look at all the hot shots out there, all of the hall of famers, all of the pro bowlers. I know for a fact that they lost games, and even championships at times. The thing is they never gave up they kept on pushing improving to get better each and everyday its what they do. Look at Michael Jordan for an example he didn't even make his high school basketball team and now is one of the most famous basketball players ever. Knowing that its possible just gives me a little more push to try harder and become even better. I recently met up with my recruiter and he told me something that I've never really thought about before. Some of the people that I'm competing with trying to get scholarships, they are literally are fighting for there lives. If they don't get that scholarship there not going to college. They are trying to be the first ones in there family to ever go to college or maybe even graduate high school. It just makes me more grateful that this isn't my last hope that if I don't get that scholarship that I will still be going to college. Not just this, but I also gave my recruiter my top college options and it just makes me more and more excited knowing that my dream is coming true and its just around the corner.

Thanksgiving Break
It was nice to have a break off school having nothing to worry about, at least school wise. I really like these week long break without having plans, being able to sleep in, eat whenever. In my case I spent the week hanging out with friends, going to bad at four AM and just not caring about anything.
Some may say its not good for kids to get such long breaks because lose of memory. Then why give us summer? why not just put a bunch of two week breaks throughout the year? In my opinion you lose most of your memory throughout the summer. The flaw of that is that I don't believe kids have the attention spand of going to school year round with little breaks. I just don't see how its possible unless you truly do love every second of school.

Today I Read
Today I read an article called "RG3 endorses Alfred Morris" by ESPN.com. The article was talking about how RG3 believes that his teammate deserves the rookie of the year award. RG3 listed off the reasons why he believed that and not just on the field, but of the field too.
To me its just crazy how RG3 an animal out on the field amazing athlete himself talks so highly of a teammate. In my opinion I think that its cool that such a high profile athlete can talk so highly about another high profile athlete

hypnosis
Recently I watched a Tv show on hypnosis and about how far that it could go. They took four people and took them through at first just some simple hypnosis things like act like a monkey. Once they saw that they could all by hypnotised, they began the process of four stages. Stage one and two were still pretty simple with all four contenders easily getting through it, troubles came at stage three. It was to lay in water at 34 degrees for three minutes. The first two lasted a soaring 15 seconds, and the third doubling them lasting 30 seconds. It wasn't until all their hope was given up when the last contender lasted the bearing cold for all two minutes. He was the only one to move on to the final stage, assassination. Could someone be under hypnosis so much that they could be triggered to kill someone? The answer is yes, he 'assassinated' a man under hypnosis. Obviously this was an experiment and no one was actually killed or injured.
This is rather scary to me, I would be terrified if I was the one that 'killed' someone. The way they presented this was rather well, with showing scenes of whats happening with the experiment and then an experts view. They had camera angles from every angle and were hidden adding to the suspense. I would be interested in watching more shows like this were they see just how far they could push the ability of a human brain. Also it would good for them to maybe show a video of what goes on in the brain while under hypnosis.

Snickers vs Three musketeers
A discussion between the two candy bars snickers and three musketeers is necessary to see which one is truly the greatest. This issue remains a mystery and only now we discuss this unknown mystery. Snickers and three musketeers share the same outside layer which is chocolate making them in some way the same.
The key idea between the snickers and the three musketeers is what they are made of. In the snickers bar we see that it is made up with crunchy peanuts that add that extra kick to it. The peanuts are significant because they add that extra flavor and texture that the three musketeers does not. In addition to the peanuts snickers also has a creamy caramel that'll give you that longer lasting taste in your mouth. The caramel is significant because like the peanuts, it adds an extra texture and taste that gives you that sticky goo.
On the other hand three musketeers makes a stand and differs itself from any other type of candy bar. The three musketeers is simple with really only two ingredients giving it that taste that can be distinguished easily. To begin with there is a simple chocolate covering which makes an impact because who doesn't love chocolate? The chocolate gives it that little crunch that gives you the traditional texture of any candy bar. What makes them different is that the inside is purely made of nougat filling and thats it, as simple as that. This gives them an advantage because maybe people don't like all the flavors and textures that another candy bar has to offer.
Clearly we have discussed the difference between the two candy bars, snickers and three musketeers. The unique flavors which make up the insides of the two are clearly different with minor similarities. Ultimately the snickers bar is the all time winner with a combination of all great things, but still being fairly simple.

Today I read an article called "Brien Taylor facing up to 40 years", by ESPN.com. The article was talking about how Taylor a first round draft pick in the MLB is facing up to 40 years. He got this charge due to three offenses of crack cocaine distribution. I think it's crazy how someone that so many people use to look up to can just throw away their life like that.

Journal entry shame and DOI
The stories are not similar in the way they are written, but the meaning of it is the same. In the story the daughter of Invention, the daughter feels out of place and not accepted because she is foreign and new. In the story Shame the boy also wants to be accepted, not only is he black, but he also is missing a daddy. The stories both go on and end in different ways were one story they learn to accept themselves and the other they don't.
OSU vs. UTAH
This past weekend I took a trip down to Corvallis at Reser stadium. I was going down to watch OSU play at home verse the Utah Utes. Now personally I like Utah better just because I know their coach and know the program. On the other hand my best friend loves OSU he's the definition of bleeding orange and that is who I went with. When we were at the campus it was crazy packed!!! I've been to games before but not to recently and with OSU winning all these games it was way different. The game itself isn't really what I wanted to talk about but more so the fact of all the bandwagoning. It use to be were about 75% of the seats were filled up, not bad also not good. At this game I swear there was't a single seat available! Jammed packed, Not only the stadium also the streets and campus itself. It just so unique how so many people can just jump from team to team. There are those people who just follow the good teams, and let me say it the teams love it! Packed stands at every game without a single seat available, what team wouldn't love that? Yes there is also always 'that guy' who will go to the game wearing an Oregon sweatshirt just there to antagonize there rivals. There is also the guy who will be decked out in the opposing teams gear in a packed section of OSU fans. On the car ride home I was thinking about all of this and how strange fans really are. If you ever get really bored and want to people watch I highly suggest going to watch fans at a sporting event.
Today I Read 10/30/12
Today I read an article called "Youth coaches face gambling charges" , By ESPN. The article was talking about how in southern florida youth coaches are gambling on their games. Now yes the games in reality aren't that big or important, but with coaches putting 20,000 dollars on game, it becomes a little more important. Nine coaches are being faced with charges and with five of them with criminal records they could be facing five years in jail. They have been under investigation for the past 12 months with recent evidence that backs up there statements.
