Anchorman 2 Announced

Great Odin's Raven!  Will Ferrell recently appeared on Conan Obrien's late night TV show to announce a sequel to Anchorman.  I don't really see any way it could live up to the incredible success of the first film.  By the beard of Zeus I hope Will knows that expectations are sky high for the sequel.  Anchorman might be one of the most quotable movies of all time.

Dhani Jones: The SportsMan

I'm currently reading The Sportsman by Dhani Jones and so far I've been impressed by his unique perspective.  Dhani is a former NFL linebacker for the New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles, and the Cincinnati Bengals.  Dhani earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Michigan with a custom made major called "Self-Representation".  He is a man of high intelligence.  Dhani has always sought out to convince people that a football player can be a "thinking man".  The book chronicles: his life growing up and personal interests, his NFL career, and the television series he did for the Travel Channel "Dhani Tackles the Globe".  I recommend you give it a read.  I also like that fact that Dhani always rocks a bow tie.  Check out his organization The Bow Tie Cause.

15th Anniversary of The Red Wings/Avalanche Brawl

On this day in 1997 the bad blood between the Detroit Red Wings and the Colorado Avalanche boiled over into a melee of epic proportions.  I wish the current Red Wings had a rivalry as passionate as this one was.  Rivalries make sports more exciting and give each individual game an immeasurable meaning.  In any aspect of life, when pride is on the line, the stakes are high.  I wish hockey players were still allowed to interrupt the game and scrap like they used to do.  Taking away that element of the sport is a big mistake. Oh and... Patrick Roy is a sissy.

Expand Your Viewpoint

I grow tired of professors, administrators, and other individuals in society that believe they can intellectually harass people of my age group because they are older and have lived longer.  Open your mind, you have something to learn from everyone.

If you're a guy, why do you have a ponytail?

I've seen two gentlemen on campus today with ponytails.  That is two too many.  What are you thinking?  Unless you are a rock star you are not allowed to sport a ponytail.  What are you trying to accomplish by not cutting your hair?  1. It's messy. 2. You look sloppy.  3.  Do you really want people to debate if you are a guy or girl from behind?  Do everyone a favor (including yourself) and just shave your head.

I often find myself pondering who and what I will become.  Realizing I have absolutely no idea what specifically that may be is concerning at times.  However, in the end what will be will be.
