Idear
In my last stats class two things happened, 1) we discussed what a median (as in mean, median, and mode) is for 30 minutes or more. 2) My TA, who may or may not be Asian, said "idear."
Now that brings up a whole slew of questions. Is it spelled idear, ideer, idea-er? Is it the same as idea or a new Apple product, which would change the spelling to iDear or iDeer. If it is, what does it do? what does it look like? Could this be Apples "Hallmark," or are they trying to take down "Cabela's" with outdoorsy stuff?
Also, the median in a set of data is the location of the exact middle, it is not a score. just sayin.

Secuirty
So I am preparing to do homework and decided to first check my Facebook, hoping that it will be my only time. Facebook kindly tells me to increase my account security. So I click the link thinking might as well, I've watched "To Catch a Predator", those guys are creepy. Facebook says I should have a security question to help protect my account. So I select the first question, "Where was your mother born?" I answer and Facebook tells me I must choose another answer. To which I yelled at my computer "NO, your wrong, stupid security" only I said security like Bon Qui Qui... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZkdcYlOn5M ... And then I wasted time watching other Madtv skits...productive day of homework.

Wisco
After spending a couple days in Wisconsin I have learned a few things about the state and the people in it...
1. The people enjoy the word "literally" and use it whenever they can...
2. Its very hilly.
3. Once your travel north of Milwaukee, you enter the middle of nowhere. (that part made me feel at home)
4. It smells like cow poop everywhere.
5. Finally, there are some great people that make #4 completely bearable.
So here is to America's dairy land. miss ya already.

Rain: The Soaking Sequel.
In the past two days it has rained a lot!!! Almost as if in the weeks previous, where no rain had fallen, the sky had be saving and saving and saving waiting for these days to unleash it's fury.
In the fall of 2010, my first semester of college, I went to class on a cloudy Thursday armed with my umbrella, ready for some rain. I sat through my very foreign TA try to clearly explain some math problems took a quiz and left for to return to my dorm. For those of you familiar with Michigan State University, my walk was from Berkey Hall to Bailey Hall, about 20-25 minutes. It was pouring outside, it was like someone had broke a dam and all its water was rushing out on to any soul trapped outside, but I had my umbrella...I was ready to take on this rain and make it back dry. Not 5 minutes later it was apparent that it would be impossible. Mind you I stayed under my umbrella the entire way. When I finally made it back, everything was soaked; my shoes, socks, bag, shirt, jacket, and somehow my head had gotten wet. I didn't think a night like that could ever occur again.
Tonight was that night. I became thoroughly soaked in the mere 10 seconds, I was in this rain... 10 SECONDS!!! Seriously, where does it all come from???? Sometime before 12:18am, yes that time is correct because that is the time Captain America was interrupted by a power outage, but don't worry it came back on and we finished the movie, and is still going on now 2 hours later.....
Rain Sucks.

The following took place on July 9th, 2011 at the Kellogg Center on Michigan State's Campus:
I work as a banquet server and this night we were doing a wedding reception for a couple in the military (completely irrelevant other than the sick helicopter ice sculpture) It started normal, open bar, people eating snack food, wedding party came in and then the things got the married couple danced for the first time..strange part number 1.
Part 2.... public service announcement from the brother..."Hey, my dad just wanted everyone to know there will be pizza around 1030...so don't dip out too soon to go check out lil. bro.... so talk amongst yourselves" lil bro: term created for MSU by UofM running back Mike Hart.
Part 3... about ten minutes has elapsed since the brother spoke...the best mans speech was nice and thoughtful...but it ended in O H....with the head table, for the most part, responding I O.... which for those less informed individuals spells OHIO...if you are still lost that is a chant that people who attend The Ohio State University say...so far wedding party is 0 for 2 on getting the correct saying for the campus they are at.
Now everybody got that for entertainment...at my table an elderly gentleman, kind jokin when he said it, asked for a doggie bag... and I said "If you would like I could go check for you..." I just barley finished that sentence his wife immediately said NOOOOO. NO. His wife says no.
Good times at the logg

Uncle Don's Day Camp
Family is important in my life. There the one constant throughout all this chaos filled life. Most of my dad's family lives 2 hours and my mom's 1 hour away. My dad's side has more younger children then my mom's.
This past weekend a new term was coined on my dad's side of the family. Our house will now be know as Uncle Don's Day Camp. Every time they come up my dad always has stuff to do for them. Mostly its going to see the cows across the road, playing with the dog, and riding the go-cart(boy do they love that thing). This time however, they got to go fishing, paddle boating, and they all shot a bow and arrow for the first time, along with all that other stuff.
Living out in the country my whole life, I've done these things, a lot, and some of them have lost there "magic." For the kids, its like going to Disney. It takes ya back to the good ole days of just being a kid.

The Other Day
THE OTHER DAY
This phrase needs a definition. It is used far to often to not have a set time frame. Like when someone says LAST WEEK, MONTH, YEAR, DAY(also know as yesterday). You can tell roughly what period in time they are referring to, but when someone utters THE OTHER DAY; you in for an adventure.
I say it fills in the time over a week but not a month. Its a very tricky time period. Now it is the other day

Success
How do you measure success? The amount of money in your bank account? Or how many cars you have in the garage? Is it the number of Facebook friends you have? Or how many contacts you have in your phone?
Success comes in many different forms. In sports that form is: Wins and Losses, Victories and Defeats.
1 year ago me and two of my good friends took on what seemed like a monumental challenge, coaching a completely defeated soccer team. The team we were coaching would be playing in the a U-12 league, basically a bunch of 7th graders, with a few 6th graders and 5th thrown in. During our first practice, I was talking with one of our players and I asked him how they played up until that season. He told me they had scored one goal last season and have never won and game "and I suck."
Up to that spring the team had no success. The only thing they accomplished was not quitting the sport all together, which as an athlete means almost nothing. We had two weeks before our first game, and as coaches we just wanted to get through that season and into the summer where we could really work with them. In those weeks we drilled the technical aspect of the game into them as much as we could. In our minds, we might not win a single game, but maybe we can keep them from getting blown out and heck score a couple goals. The season is 8 games, and we worked with them for about the same number of weeks. That season they won a single game, but they had come miles from when we got them.
Summer came and went we mostly scrimmaged with them, then that fall me and another coach went off to college leaving them with a coach who, given his back ground in soccer would well lets just say they would be the best conditioned team in the league, but if you knew the coach he wouldn't settle for anything less than a perfect season.....sadly that was not the case. That fall the boys won 3 or 4 games which for them was great.
Finally spring came, college was over, the gang was back. Now with a mostly older team we pushed them right to the edge, really trying to prepare them for what the high school team would be like. We saw in those kids what some of them didn't, and we challenge them to win the league (what coaches don't). Their response to us was yeah right, and after dropping the first game it looked grim. After a week, we played the same team and beat them thus putting it on them. We told them they were in charge of their own destiny that season, they just gotta win. The next game we played one of the softer teams and beat them 3-0. The turning point was when they played the team on top of the league and beat them 4-0, the next day we one 10-1. In the second game of the weekend they probably scored more goals then in there past 5 seasons combined. They tied and won they next two games. Leaving it up to our final opponent to set the stage for a championship match and they didn't disappoint.
We needed the win in order to lock it up. As coaches we wanted nothing more for them, as players they were hungry for it. The game was one that we had to reschedule from earlier in the season. So our boys hadn't played a game in almost a month, which was apparent early on in the game. We were flat, the other team did what they want when they wanted. I shared a look with one of my coaches and we both thought, this is going to get out of hand real fast. There was nothing we could do, but watch and hope. Couldn't have been more than two minutes later, and they had scored a remarkable goal, putting us down one. It was only one goal but it felt like they had just a hit a walk off home run to end the game. After a short spur of just kickin it back and forth, started the quickest momentum switch I have ever seen and it came on a missed shot from one of the better players. To fully understand just how remarkable this switch was, one must know that a lot of these kids would hang there head for a having a bad touch. Our first goal that evening came from the player who I quoted above saying "I suck." He was on the sideline and asked me how to beat a team who just kicks it out of bounds. I told him "keep the ball close," he told me he couldn't so I told him "then keep them away from the ball." Why that one got through I'll never know. He finished the game with 2 goals and an assist. We won the game 5-1.
In the post game talk I realized how much more then a game it was. Sure the only thing going through their mind was "We are champs!!!!" but as I looked at them I saw how much these kids had grown sure a lot of them were literally growing, but ever kid out there grew mentally and matured so much in a year and half. And I was honored just to be a part of that...
Congrats to the 2011 CASL U 14 Blue Champs, yall earned it.

Thought to ponder
So today in the garden I found a bug climbing a small indent and I pushed it back down and this was repeated over and over until I was yelled at by my dad to get back to work....So what if we were bugs to other things? mind boggling
Bonus story
My first task of the day was to mow the lawn. Now I know mowing can be quite boring, going back and forth and forth and back, and oh boy there's a tree. So today I put the lawn mower in the middle of the lawn and well I have a zero-turn so I started going in circles....it was great fun...

Rain
Due to events of the day it seems just to make a pros cons list of rain and well the CONS of rain seem to win out.
Pros:
Pros:
- Makes things grow.
- Provides fresh water(minus areas that receive acid rain)
- Cleans the car until it gets driven down a dirt road.
- Makes things grow.
- Rains acid on people
- Turns a dirt road into a muddy, puddle filled trap which makes it need cleaning
- Ruins a nice day of golf...

the number a
So. First blog post....this will be interesting.
I guess I'll start with why I have a blog: A friend of mine was going abroad and someone suggested they blog about their experiences there...and I mockingly said, "I'll make a blog about my summer: Day 1 did nothing" and for some odd reason they found that amusing.... thus a blog was created and probably 20 some days later I am actually posting something. For those of you wondering I didn't do nothing on my first day of summer, I know sad.
Well things can only get better from here.
