Final Four Predictions Extremely Early...

I know, I know its way to early to make Final Four picks...or is it? I feel that at this point in the season I can already make a pretty good guess on who will advance to the Final Four in the upcomming NCAA BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT and I don't need Bracketology to help me out. So without further run on here are the picks:

Memphis- Face it they're legit

Michigan State- Tom Izzo wins in the post season every year and this could be one of his best teams he's had (talent wise) yet
Texas- yeah not even the best team in the Big 12 but just watch
North Carolina- Hansbrough won't be stopped, you've got Lawson plus the rest of McDonald's All-Americans and they are just almost impossible to bet against.

Also look for suprise runs by Gonzaga, Drake, and watch Cal State Northridge stun some big name team in the first round

big news coming out of the 2D camp...

This past week while participating in a Smith Hall event "Family Feud" 2D made an incrediable come from behind rally late to advance to the championship round, winning a crucial point by answering the question: "How many season's was the the hit TV show Friends on for?" Led by the quick thinking of all-pro Feuder's Robbie Willett and Nolan Gouveia, 2D correctly answered three much needed questions in a row making for an incrediable finish, not to mention a great drama for all bystanders. Though the rally was fierce 2D was finally subdued in the championship round. The hall did not walk away empty handed though, walking away with some prize money to be used on future late night #2's runs, which in this reporters opinion was much more valuable then the dart bord the 1st place group walked away with.

Team Germany brings back Blomgren. Is Stavness/Kidd next?

Earlier this month Team Germany welcomed back original team member Justin Blomgren, adding to an already star-studded line up. His rocky departure to the Smif Ryda's last season left many teammates and fans heartbroken and many surrounding the Team Germany family thought that they had seen the last of Blomgren in Team Germany threads(see Johnny Damon leaves Red Sox to become Yankee to truly understand...) but after a whole summer of intense negotiations Blomgren was brought back and hearts were mended.

Also there's been swirling rumours at the Team Germany camp recently that Bryce Stavness could sign within the next month as well as a rumour that involves a sign and trade deal that would send Jason Kidd of the New Jersey Nets to Germany for restricted free agent Matt Cobb and a box of # 2's.

Uncertainty

This year has been full of uncertainty. In the past 3-5 months I have experienced uncertainty in almost all areas of my life. Whether it be my faith, whether it be my future, whether it be trying to figure out the person I've become and grown into these past 4 years at college, there seems to be one constant feeling of uncertainty. The hardest part has probably been the struggle of waiting for uncertainty to turn into certainty, the struggle of waiting upon the Lord to bring clarity to all the aspects of my life that seem so hazy and unclear. I'm pretty sure this isn't all chance, its probably happening for a reason. It's probably going to make me stronger, wiser, more prepared to take on whatever is out there waiting for me in the future. Anyways, this is all kind of weird to blog about because normally my blog entrys are of no real importance or seriousness usually consisting of some run on about how I love the Royals or random pictures, but through numerous conversations I know that alot of my friends and peers are going through alot of the same kind of stuff I listed above and I guess the whole reason for this entry is to state the fact ,to those who join me in this struggle for certainty, that God has a plan, a purpose for all our lives. He has ultimate provision over our lives and he knows what has been, what is, and what will be. Soooo He know's all so if we continue to trust in Him and persue Him with all we have and if we continue to ask like Matthew 7:6-8 says:

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened"

Then He will provide us with the things that will help sustain us through these rough and uncertain times. I know this proccess is extremely exhausting and frustrating, but we must continue to seek, and strive, hunger for God even in times like these ,and those of us who do so I think will walk away from this experience stronger,wiser, closer to God then ever before.

I hope all this rambling made sense and was of somewhat of a help...

Is "Everything in the Right Place?"

Those of you who have followed Radiohead over the years know that they have been writing the song "True Love Waits" for years, but they have never finished it. After watching this trailer promoting their new album and film documenting Radiohead's lusterous career it seems as if "True Love Waits" is finally been finished! If you're a Radiohead fan this should get you stoked, if not you probably think this is a waste of blogspace and you probably have a distorted taste of music in my opinion.

2D Breaking News!

As many of you know Carly Floyd and Sarah Van Huele have been deemed 2D Hall Moms for the 2007-2008 school year. Many of you also know that they will be in Thailand during the enitre fall semester. Though they will be in Thailand they will still be in contact with the boys through email and or letters. Due to their absense, I would like at this time to offically announce that Courtney Weatherly has been brought on to take on the motherly duties that new freshman so desperatly depend on during their 1st year transition into college life.
