A lot is going on right now

So just as quickly as it came, it is almost gone. I am of course talking about the NFL season which is already in its 10th of 17 weeks in this season. There are the usual suspects at the top of the standings which isn't always as exciting but this season is the first time in many years that we have had two teams undefeated this late in the season. It is also quite possible for them to play each other in the Super Bowl which would inevitably mean big bucks for sponsors and great commercials for everybody watching.

Basketball is starting to hit its stride for this season as teams are getting warmed up and getting used to playing with each other. And for you haters out there (Elijah), you can expect most of the same from the Lakers this year. This is also a year of newcomers for the NBA as it looks as if the Clippers might have a season that doesn't end with a lottery draft pick. The same can not be said for the Warriors this year as it looks as if they are smack dab in the middle of a rebuilding process as an organization. So again, expect the same out of the Warriors this season.

Last, but not least, it is the beginning of a new day. The current obsession at the moment is Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and to be honest, I am one of the obsessors. Like tonight, I spent about 3 hours straight playing which i consider to be way too much. However, there are people out there who have played over 6 hours straight which is probably why they are so much better (not really, but whatever.) And when I'm not playing that, you can find me playing madden 10 and pretty much whooping anybody in my way. I'm so modest.

Statement Of Purpose

In my original statement of purpose I stated that I would post videos of sports plays that I particularly liked and break them down individually with what made them work. While I haven't done exactly that, I feel I've done a pretty good job sticking with one subject for most of my posts. Sports is still something I like and always will like. Mostly because it plays such a big role in my life. I sit inside on rainy Sundays and I am completely capable of wasting an entire Sunday on watching 3-4 football games. Also now that the NBA season has started, that will hopefully give me more writing material.

My original writing goal was to use blogging to better my writing and even further my grammar skills. Knowing this, I feel I have actually grown a lot from my original skills, most of which is due to blogging. Another part of my growth is actually just being back in school. That 3 and a half month break can do things to the mind. Not that I don't love the break, though.

My goals in the second quarter are actually the same. Just make my writing better but don't stress over it too much. School is important, I know this for a fact, but it will be useless if you don't pace yourself. So I feel if I have any new goals for the 2nd quarter, it would be to pace myself and not over-stress about anything. I also hope I can still write about sports so I'm really counting on the NBA to give me some good material. If this season is anywhere close to as good as last season, I'll have no worries. But please don't let me down. If the Lakers just repeat, there will be no shortage of blog posts.
