Well, he’s kind of had it in for me ever since I accidentally ran over his dog. Actually, replace “accidentally” with “repeatedly,” and replace “dog” with “son.”

It’s that time again. It happens once every three months. That’s right, it is me updating my blog. So I don’t remember what has gone on to post it, so I’m going to talk about catch you up on a few things.
Once again, it is football season (my favorite time of the year). And of course, the season comes with all kinds of craziness before the actual season starts in about a week. Let’s get the first thing out of the way. The Oklahoma Sooners are ranked 3rd in most polls behind Florida and Texas. Now do I think that the Sooners should be rated higher…maybe, but the rankings at the end of the year matter more than the pre-season. The Gators are a good team and so is Texas, but I’m not sure if Florida deserved the most number one votes in the history of the AP Poll. OU basically beat themselves in the National Championship game. I don’t see much difference in the two teams. Texas on the other hand is still struggling to find a starting running back. There is no star back on this Longhorn team.
But I’m not surprised to see the Sooners ranked below those two teams. Oklahoma is not going to get any respect this year no matter what. Not in the polls, not on TV, not on the radio, not with the odds makers. Even if they went undefeated with a winning margin of 35 pts, they would be underdogs in the National Championship game. No biggee. I enjoy having OU as an underdog. It is nice to not have a target on your back all the time. Oklahoma will just have to go out and prove it to everyone.
A final thing about college football is that Lou Holtz is still on the air with ESPN. I am not really sure how he has been able to keep his job. His insane spit talk/lisp along with his inane love for the University of Notre Dame has ruined College Football on ESPN. It is hard to watch him talk about any team and give opinions about them. Even though, it is pretty funny to watch Mark Mays laugh at him on the air, because of Lou’s outlandish talks. But here is another tale in the book of Lou. Most of you have already seen it, but I’ll just let the video speak for itself.
I’m continuing my school to attain my 2nd bachelor’s degree at the Academy of Art University this fall. I am enjoying it, but it may prove to be too much money to go come the spring semester. I will know more when the time comes. This semester I am taking Sketching for Communication and Digital Imaging 1. Should be fun though.
I am also busy finishing up some weddings I filmed in the summer and then I have one more to film and edit for a friend in October. Then once I finish that one, I will be done with filming and shooting weddings. It was a good thing when I first started out and as much as I enjoy editing, weddings just don’t do it for me. I am getting into the actual design process of designing logos, websites, and smaller editing jobs. Hence the reason I am going to art school.
But other than that I am going to football games, a couple of weddings (one in Virginia Beach and the other in Vegas), a Blink-182 concert with Ben and Scott. Chester French and Weezer will also be there. I have been looking forward for this concert ever since I heard Blink-182 announced that they were getting back together. I never took the chances I had to go and see them before they broke, so I am going to make the most of it now.
Well, that’s my update for now. Hopefully they will come more frequent. Enjoy.
