FINALLY! This is what we like to SEE!

This awesome little message appeared in my Inbox this morning and I couldn't be happier. Its about damn time Gonzaga. Who cares if the school bought out the Kennel Club?! THEY CAN'T BUY YOUR SOUL! (okay, okay, a bit cheesy, but COME ON!) Its time for a freaking revolution! Don't lose sight of what makes that gym one of the toughest places to play in the country you tards! You're a ZAG! BE A ZAG!!!!! Too bad we had to lose two shitty conference games in a row and toy with the idea of losing a third for the first time since the early 90's. DUDES. Knock that crap off. Drink some beers, talk some smack, and lose your damn voices. GO ZAGS. QUE MESSAGE.... Hey Zags! It's finally here- Game Day. St. Mary's has no idea what they're in for. After 91 tents camping out (a school record!) I know this is going to be the loudest the Kennel has ever been. So get ready, and here's a few things to do before tip off at 8: 1. Join the "Poke the Other Team" Ev...

ten minutes on USA Today and WOW.

L ittle snip of marketing ingenuity - or rather a big SCREW YOU on the price tag of a Super Bowl commercial and a sure fire way to make us love Papa J . anyway. Well, as long as we get an overtime. " Each of 2010's advertisers that turned thumbs down this year has a different reason. Among the most interesting is Papa John's, which Monday will announce plans to give a free large pizza to every American — if the Super Bowl goes into its first-ever overtime. The catch: You must sign up for its online loyalty program before game day (Feb. 6)." SIGN UP! SIGN UP! Now comes this bit, it seems we just dumb down and become as ambiguous as we can about the BAD news so it doesn't make headlines with dramatic searchable keywords. We'll just sort of kind of maybe this is what happened we're not really sure, tell the story. I'm sorry, why isn't this a bit of a bigger deal?! Former Chief of staff, dead. The Fire Dept found heavy smoke and fire coming from a gar...

complete awesomeness.

this just warms the heart right up. a wonderful vid (and guy) that my brother sent me. if he's able to be relaxed around these guys and communicate with them he means no harm, can you imagine how comfortable kickin it with him on a sunny afternoon would be?

steven gray. AND GONZAGA.

As part of its mission, the university "encourages its students to develop certain personal qualities: self-knowledge, self-acceptance, a restless curiosity, a desire for truth, a mature concern for others and a thirst for justice.'' Great article about Steven Gray about a special that was featured on The Mark Few Show - check it out dudes. It'll inspire you like school did all over again :) "Go into the world and do well. but more importantly, go into the world and do good." -minor myers jr. -

sailing forums can be quite warming!

Hello jenny5, Happy Birthday from your friends at Cruisers Forum; we wish you all the best in the year to come. May your boat be leak free. May your sails be in good repair. May the winds be fair, the weather kind and May your days be filled with the exquisite pleasure of new adventures, fabulous destinations and excellent friendship. Happy Birthday! I joined this website a year or so ago when I was looking into the in's and out's of sailing from Alaska to Hawaii. The idea is still there, just need to get a little more motivated, back on my feet, some wind in my sails ;) thanks for the reminder Cruisers!

found this...

in an old textbook of mine; called Stumbling Upon Happiness - Daniel Gilbert. "...you ever have that state of enlightenment where you can feel it all throughout your body, inside emotionally, outside physically, the tingle the butterfly the constant jolt of your muscles making you warm excited alert witty laughter has never come so easy it seems you cant' smile without laughing for any reason. You feel it all throughout the roar comes from w/in your stomach - ev muscle in your body feels as though it laughing - giving to the effort. The event. You seem/feel eager, alive, ready to love and listen to all that is said. You no longer care about what you're saying or what you'll be doing. You only care that those who are around you are happy and will be there in the future or that they will be doing something that makes them happy benefits them in some way and you'll sleep better knowing that! " pshhhh. :)

its a great day!

R egistered for Arabic! We start Monday! Ooooooooooooooooh susan, this will be a doosey. When I returned our make the time fly audio books to the library I picked up a "River Running Basics" dvd to start like an amateur and learn what this awesome red beasty boat I got for Christmas is all about! She's a stellar looking second hand kayak and I couldn't be more THRILLED! Thanks Fam! I'm so freakin pumped to dominate the sport and become a bit of an expert on tips, tricks, gear, and the basic skills. I dream of being a confident kayaker that knows what she's doin out on the water and can take a friend or two someday and help them enjoy it too! Anyway, I'm stoked about learning the basics :) Normally I'd just go put myself in at the top of a river and see what happens, the way I have with ANY physical activity I've ever tried but water can be freakin ruthless and if I'm going out there alone, I kind of want to know what the hell I'm doing....

ah how i love this place.
