So it's been a while since I posted something, so I thought I would do some updates. The Jazz are freaking out of the playoffs (crappy officiating finished em off). So no I'm all about the Pistons winning it all. I hate the Spurs and Lakers, don't like Chris Paul on the Hornets, so I don't like the Hornets haha, and I don't think the Celtics deserve to win after sucking so much last year and then all of a sudden getting good because of 2 big trades. So yeah, go Pistons! I've always liked Rasheed Wallace, and Richard Hamilton is from one of the cities I served in on my mission, Coatesville. I just like the Pistons all-around. So that's what's going on in sports, other than me kicking trash in my 2 fantasy baseball leagues haha.

For my job, it has totally ruined any hope i had of having a social life this summer. 1:30pm-10:30pm just really ruins it for you. It's a good job/internship, I'm learning a lot, but I'm also started to get a little irratated with the guy I work with. I wrote a story on the state track meet and then then when I looked for it in the paper, the guy I'm interning with claimed it as his own after changing some wording in the first two paragraphs. Whatever, I don't want to work there after this summer anyways, I have bigger dreams, ESPN, Sports Illustrated, Fox Sports, any of those will do. For now I just have to survive the summer without killing myself (haha, I really wouldn't, but you know what I mean).

So that's what is happening in my life right about now, no life, yup, pretty much haha

I have a job/internship for the summer

Well I finally stopped being lazy and went in and got my internship, which is paid, so it's a job too i guess haha. I'm gonna be interning for The Daily Rocket-Miner, the largest newspaper in Western Wyoming. That's a lot bigger that The Scroll at BYU-Idaho that I was writing for.

I'm gonna be interning with the sports writer, which is what I want to be, and so far things are going good. I've been working for 3 days now, and after my 2nd day of work I had an article that I wrote and picture that I took in the Saturday edition of the paper. The article and photo were from a high school girls soccer game haha, not what I had in mind when I wanted to be a sports writer, but it was actually pretty fun.

So once the high schools are out and track and soccer are finished, it's gonna be a pretty laid-back summer, i'll mainly be covering the local American Legion baseball teams, most likely mainly the team in Green River.

So things are going good, hooray! haha

Well, Now I've Gone and Done it!

Well, I am 99.9% sure I have a job/internship for the summer. Friday I went in to the local newspaper, the Rocket-Miner, and gave them my articles that I wrote for The Scroll at BYU-Idaho, and the guy that I talked to basically told me that I was hired, I just have to come in on Monday when he calls me and drop off my application and resume to make it official. So yeah, I my lazyness has to come to an end, for the most part. The thing about this job is the hours are 1:00pm-10:00pm, so I can sleep in haha. I'll prolly try to go running or work out a few days of the week though before I go in to work. So tomorrow should be interesting, I don't know if they are gonna want me to stay and work when I go in or what, we'll see. Well, enough about that, the Jazz are up 3-1 now, heading back to Houston where they are gonna finish off the Rockets, the Suns won a game (yeah!), so they didn't get swept. No team has ever come back from being down 3-0 in the playoffs, so I wouldn't put my money on em, but they worked the Spurs today, so they could win another game or two, hopefully. Oh yeah, and I think that the 49ers did a pretty good job in the draft. A lot going on in sports, I love it!!!!! haha

GO JAZZ!!!!

Ok, so what I wanted to happen the other night, didn't really happen haha. I wanted the Suns to win, they lost, I wanted the Mavs to win, they lost, I wanted the Rockies to win, they blew it, and I wanted the Magic to win, and they actually did, but I didn't really care about that game! Haha oh well, at least I know the Jazz are gonna win tonight. They play at home against the Rockets, and the Jazz just don't lose at home, only 4 losses at home the whole regular season. So yeah, I'm expecting the Jazz to go up 3-0 tonight. And the Rockies already won. I was going to go and try to get a job, but then I saw the Rockies were on, whoops, haha, but I got copies made while I was watching the game of the 7 articles I wrote in the schoool paper at BYU-I. So now tomorrow I can go in to the newspaper and show them my stuff. I've been home from school from about a week and a half and I haven't done a thing, sadly that needs to change. Not a whole lot is going on though other than me watching a lot of sports and being lazy and not getting a job, haha. Oh yeah, can't forget about The Office tonight, new episode, Boom Baby!!!!!

Ok, I Think I Somewhat Have This Down

So this will take some time to perfect, we'll see what happens. Well, what's going on right now? Nothing job-wise for me, I really should get on top of that haha. But something that is going on right now, the NBA Playoffs! The Suns play the Spurs tonight, and I sure hope the Suns win. I'm sorry Patriots and Yankees, but the Spurs have my vote for the team I despise the most in sports. Their "Big 3" are some of the most annoying players in the league, mainly Tim Duncan. That guy is rediculous, he's such a cry baby. Every time he gets stuffed he cries and complains to the refs, and every time he commits an obvious foul and is called for it, he cries again, ugh, can't stand that guy. Anyways, the Suns and the Jazz are my 2 teams, I've cheered for both of them growing up, I got my first basketball jersey when I was in 5th grade, a Charles Barkley jersey, I wore that thang with pride. So I really liked the Suns then, and then growing up so close to Salt Lake, I've been to tons of Jazz games and you gotta cheer for them, their like my home-town team, even though they're 2 1/2 hours away haha. So the Suns better not blow it again tonight. I'll be watching for sure. There are 3 NBA finals games on, which I'll watch, and the Rockies play the Phillies tonight too, I'm gonna be watchin that too haha. What a busy night! So what I'm hoping for tonight in the games I'm gonna watch: a Mavericks win, a Suns win, a Magic win, and a Rockies win. Haha, we'll see what happens with that. Oh yeah, and the Rockets, mainly the coach and Tracey McGrady, need to stop whining about the offensive foul call at the end of the game yesterday. It was a foul, doesn't matter if AK flopped a little bit, Scola was holding him back, it's a foul, doesn't matter if it's at the end of an important game, a fould is a foul and should always be called, stop whining Rockets, the Jazz own you anyways, haha.

I finally gave in to the blogging craze

Well, after seeing many of my friends having blogs, and knowing that I'm going to be very bored this summer, I decided to give this blogging thing a try. I used to write blogs all the time on Myspace, then I stopped for some reason. If you hate sports, you might not like my blog, cuz I'm sure I'm gonna talk about the NBA Playoffs quite a bit and baseball, and heck, maybe even the NFL, inculding the upcoming draft. So yeah, if my page looks retarded, take it easy on me, I'm new to this stuff haha.
