so today is election day in Honduras. Its Pepe vs. Mel. Mel is supposed to win. the entire country is in a weird crazy political dazed state. There are expected to be riots tonight and continue into the week. Im planning on going and joining. HAHAHA, not really...id prolly get killed pretty quickly. But ill watch on TV. So other than that, Honduras is boring. im looking fwd to leaving. 20 days.

wow

`watching´games like that on espn.com is going to give me a heart attack. WOW. I cannot even imagine what happened. all i know is i nearly crapped myself when they erased that 17 point lead. I´ll def. be getting up at 6:00 tomorrow to watch the highlights on sportscenter! wow, im just pumped to come out of Maui with a great win over a top 10 team and something to build on. GO STATE!

good game! it was good that we rebounded from that pathetic performance on saturday. i saw the pollsters still give us no respect. lose 1 game in a tough environment with your 4 star players missing significant minutes due to cramps and you drop from 4th to 12th???? whatever. im looking forward to them eating their words(or votes) when we beat Gonzaga and UCONN tomorrow and weds. and win the `best preseason tourney ever´

but anyway, i was pumped about the game...not really because we won by a lot of points against Chaminade, but because it appeared like Marquise(i told you so, Big Kris) and Goran(i told you so, C) can play. Marquise had 9 points and 8 boards in 17 minutes(and according to the Lansing State Journal, he also had a couple of nasty dunks). Goran had 7 points and 4 boards in 18 minutes. Not bad for their 2nd ever college game. 2 more big men who can play is what will change this team from a good team to a great team. Keep on developing Marquise and Goran! GO STATE!

what a depressing day

what on earth happened??? i am in complete shock. im trying to stay optimistic and remember that sometimes early shockers(didnt UNC lose to Santa Clara in their opener last year?) can really wake up a team mentally, but i mean, geez! im without words. we better play better than this against Maryland/Gonzaga....

what on earth happened???

so yeah

well, today is my 98th day in Honduras. Which means only 28 days til i leave. im excited to leave. Today is also the last MSU football game of the year, and first MSU basketball game of the year. And theyre going on at the exact same time, kinda weird. Im pumped for basketball after this horrible disapointment of a football season. Remember when we were 11th in the country and favorites against Michigan? doesnt seem that long ago, does it? Oh well, happy basketball season. Big Kris- about Manning, you will see in January, and about Gray, you will see in March.

"We've got to get better," I said, "It's all in your head."We could live through these letters or forget it all together. See the months they don't matter it's the days I can't take, when the hours move to minutes and I'm seconds away....

i hate to say it....

but Big Kris was right about John L. :( fire John L. Smith.....

but its cool, cuz i was right about MARQUISSSSSSSSSSSE.

(and Peyton Manning)

This is where I say I've had enough And no one should ever feel The way that I feel now. A walking open wound, A trophy display of bruises And I don't believe That I'm getting any better.
Waiting here with hopes the phone will ring And I'm thinking awful things And I'm pretty sure that few would notice. And this apartment Is starving for an argument. Anything at all to break the Silence.

Wandering the house like I've never wanted out and this is about as social as I get now. And I'm throwing away the letters that I am writing you 'cause they would never do, I would never do. never.

Waiting here with hopes the phone will ring And I'm thinking awful things And I'm pretty sure that few would notice. And this apartment Is starving for an argument. Anything at all to break the Silence.

So don't be a liar, don't say that "Everything's working" When everything's broken. And you smile like a saint, but you curse like a sailor and your eyes say the joke's on me. But I´m not laughing, you´re not leaving, who do I think I am kidding? When I´m the only one trapped in this hell.

well Beta turned out to be a complete bust. it took a pretty hard turn to the south and missed us by about 200 miles. it beat up on Nicaragua pretty bad tho. i really can not wait to leave. it seems like things just keep getting worse and that time moves so slow. it still feels like forever. i just try to take it 1 day at a time and look forward to other things. i think this is gonna be the worst thanksgiving of my life. oh well, i just have to be patient, i guess. 41 days.
