walkers, rugby, and magicians

i have to tell you right now, i have a new favorite sport. today, about 30 strapping young lads met together for some good ole fashion rugby. i might add that we were mainly american kids, except for the jamaicans and coach ben lambert, so we basically had no idea what we were doing. we were bred on the forward passes of football. it was a little tricky for us to transition, but we were able to cope, and we weren't afraid to make a few hits. my friend landon got a sweet cut on his eye. i wish i had a pic. here is a pic of these dumb, wierd lines on my arm, bruises tho.

it was a wicked awesome time. im looking forward to playing like this guy eventually.

yesterday, i had mexican food with the sis and some friends for lunch. we went to los portales in jackson, tennessee. normally i bash all non-californian mexican food, but i have to say the fajitas i had there were pretty good. surprising, i know.
on the way back to school i saw a backpacker with a sign on his back that said: walkamerica. i assumed it was for some cause i didn't know about, with many walkers walking america. turns out it was just one dude that is getting americans to write in his book that he is giving to the next president of the U.S. my friend scott happened to be in jackson yesterday too. he also happened to see him. he recognized him and asked him to stay in our dorm for the night. the walker said ok. he hung out for a while, but then got kicked out of the dorm at 1:30 am by the dean. apparently we can't invite so called "strangers" to stay the night in the dorms. i did have time to write a lengthy note to the future president, and get a picture with the uber-tan walker man. he said i stepped it up a notch with what i wrote in his book. sweet.


my friend ben decided to not write in the walker's book, but instead spray water in the hallway. here is a pic of that.

cool.

well tonight, the kids at freed-hardeman university got to see a magician. i take that back...an illusionist. his name is jason bishop. it was pretty cool. he made lots of good jokes, and did quite a few cool things, but one trick in particular blew my mind. he made an empty soda can fill with soda, and he managed to seal the lid first. he then cracked it open and poured a glass. rad. anyways, look for my friend micah's review in The Bell Tower school paper. i believe he will quote me. i was illusion-ed. way to go freed-hardeman. thanks for having a cool event.

i just turned off the tv because my roomate josh needs his beauty sleep. but i was watching batman and robin. yes, yes, the suckiest of all batman movies i know, but has your governor ever been mr. freeze? didn't think so. thanks arnold.
