THAT FUCKER BUSH!
That son of a bitch is just like his father, and that's not just the intoxication speaking. Bush is cutting medicare and student aid. Just like his fucking father did. It's a shame, just because HE and his rich bitch friends of the good ole boy network can afford to send their kids to school, guess what, my family can barely send me to school, so this fucking sucks. It's just another reason for me to be extremely pissed!!!!!!!!! Not that after tonights game was fucking cake walk either. Oh and on top of that my roomie and his gf broke up and yeah it's heartbreaking, just things weren't working out, which sucks. We have lotsa drinking to do to make up for it. FUCK BUSH! Tonight just proves not only does he not care about black people, he doesn't care about the future of this country or the voters that got him to where he is (aka OLD PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!) ASSCLOWN!
WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?
The headline sums it up folks. It was stunning and the feeling I have is absolutely sickening. SIU, the team with the longest home winning streak in the country lost today, stunned by Indiana State 63-54 AT HOME. My roommate and I sat there, stunned in disbelief. I stared at the scoreboard, hoping someone would pinch me, wake me up and tell me that this did not just happen. Hell, I'm still in shock. Indiana Fucking State! It's not like they have Larry Fucking Bird out there. 1-10 in the conference, 1 and fucking 10!
To put it simply without taking too much energy out of my already depleted body, here's the game recap. We were cold, they were hot, they got ALL OF THE CALLS in one of the worst refereed games I've seen at the Arena. I hate blaming the refs because the Dawgs missed baskets, some free throws but to be fair, Indiana State should have been at the line less times and the Salukis should have been at the line more times. It's as simple as that.
Several students stayed in their seats, shocked and dismayed at what happened. There was a subtle hush over the crowd after the game, it wasn't the same. Losing fucking sucks! I hate this feeling. Some of us stayed in our seats trying to figured out what went wrong on a night in which we could have taken the overall lead in the MVC. The night was set up perfectly, UNI lost to Creighton and we were playing a team that was 1-10 in the confrence. And we just couldn't do it. They've been doing this for 4 years consecutively, winning at home. I just don't get it, I'm still stunned.
So, in closing, today sucked as a whole. Fire drill at 6 am woke me up, took me out of my sleep and after breakfast I had a major upset stomach. The only good thing was I beat my roommate in two games of basketball. But I would have rather lost those and watched the Dawgs win.
I, personally, have never been a part of anything this special in my entire life, ever. In little league we were the best during the season, but we never won a championship. In high school the football team always choked at the end of the season. The basketball team was good for one year and one year only. The baseball team was good, but never won anything while I was there. The Bears haven't done anything since the year I was born. The Bulls haven't done anything since 1998. The Blackhawks haven't done anything since the mid-90s. The closest thing that could compare to this was the 2003 Cubs. Tonight, I have the same feeling that I had on the infamous "Bartman Night." Same sickening feeling, same long walk home, same sadness and shock and disbelief. So where to from here? I guess we have to start one all over again, I'd rather not, but I guess all good things have to come to an end. But why tonight? Why against a team that was 1-10 in the conference?
At the end of the game, the announcer said to have a good rest of the week. Well the rest of this week consists of bullshit, school and the fact that SIU no longer has something to be known for in college basketball. As a conference, the MVC is overlooked. As a team, SIU is overlooked in a state that loves winning teams and has embraced every team in this state except the one here in Carbondale. Ridiculed by Illini fans who stole our coach 3 years ago, same Illini fans that wanted Weber out after his first year, love him now. I'm still stunned.
I can't say it enough times, but I HAVE NEVER BEEN A PART OF ANYTHING THIS SPECIAL! After the Dawgs won the conference on the home court, I rushed the court, my roommate and I rushed the court. I had never been a part of an actual winner, ever. Nothing could beat that moment in which we won the conference. The only sad part is that I don't have any pictures to remember it by. But if we win (I'd love to say when we win, but I'm to hurt and crushed to say so) but if we win, believe me, there will be plenty of shots of me, my friends, the dawg pound and the dawgs themselves.
Until then, it's time to drink this loss under the table. I'm still shocked, it's not been posted anywhere. Not on ESPN, not on the Saluki website, nowhere except on away messages and on the faces of the stunned Saluki Nation.
Good night from a sad little town called Carbondale.

Tuesday Reviewed In Snippets
There's things on my mind, but I'm too tired and the idea of a potential fire drill at either 4 am or 6 am and in either case I'm not a fan. I won't miss that when I'm living off campus. I should be doing homework or reading but I'm not because I'm tired so yeah, I don't know what to do. I'll be going to bed soon, so let's review the days events
- Went to my one class today, and as expected as soon as I walked into class I had a quiz. I might have gotten one or two wrong, but it was a 5 question pop quiz, but i think i only got one wrong. class was sleepy, like, i didn't sleep but I really really wanted to!
- Went to the rec for the first time this semester and played basketball. It felt good, but two things were missing. Let's see, my team was on the losing end of both games which absolutely KILLED me. And I was missing my trademark black shoes for basketball. It's just something I've done my whole life, I play basketball with black shoes. I think I was inspired by the Bulls who ONLY wore black shoes during the playoffs. Ahh, the good old days. Well, I wore my maroon/khaki colored shoes and yeah my feet were killing me at the end of the day because of the thin soles. What pissed me off was that as teams my teams played poorly, sloppily and bad. I'm not excused from it, but I played the most under control. Let's put it this way, one of the guys who was on my team played crappy with us but when he was on the other team, he tore it up. Killed me, lucky shots KILL ME! And when I was motivated, it was too late. I gotta learn to get that damn killer instinct earlier and take over games like I did senior year in that one game. I'll step it up tomorrow. I will be out there tomorrow, believe that. 'Til then, I'm hoping to get some new shoes sometime in the near future.
That's all that's important. Good night from the 'dale!

I had to post this randomly
Random Question: Does anyone want to save me from being single and miserable? It's just a question.
