Rutgers vs. Cincinnati

This was an embarassing game for the Scarlet Knights.  Cincinnati's offense tore them apart through the run and passing game.  Yet, I like to focus on the positive.  Sophomore Mark Harrison had a break out game.  He has speed and is strong.  One physical attribute of his which makes it difficult for defensive backs to defend him is his height.  He should have a very good college career over the next two years.

A poem for my dad as he lays in the ER

Found out my dad was in the hospital today
Memories of our last minutes came in to mind
Have I been a good son or a bad boy

Grandmom died alone is this my dads fate?
I hated not being there for her.
I'm gonna be there for him I will skip a date

I love my dad very much
he was always there when I needed his love
When i was getting divorced he gave me the softest touch

I'm in the Rutgers library ready to cry
I don't want my dad to die
To think of him laying in that hospital bed
makes want to be beside him, hold his head

Beeping noises nurses walking around makes me scared
I hate the noise and never grew up in hempstead
Is that a real town, I don't know
Just know dad and i mean it , I love you so.

Prison Inmate to Prolific Passer

Micheal Vick sat in a prison cell about two years ago.  His career as a football player seemed over, if not in jeopardy.  His crime left him in disgrace in front of an unforgiving football audience and all of America.  Two years later, he is the starting quarterback of the Philadelphia Eagles.  His last game was a career night as he threw for 333 yards and 4 touchdowns.   He also ran for two touchdowns. 

His ability to scramble was always evident but now he is a different quarterback, able to stay in the pocket and make pinpoint throws to his wide receivers.  He is even being compared to Hall of Fame quarterback Steve Young.  Mistakes don't have to stop you from doing great things in life or making a comeback.  What do you think you will be doing in two years (stats courtesy of nflnewsworld.com, picture courtesy of blog.pennlive.com )?

My journal entry from Mrs. Kerns' class dated February 27, 1993 (very unedited)

On monday my brother and me went to Malibu grand prix.  What it is is racing track.  So you can be under 18 and drive in a mini car around the track  They have Video games there and you can eat there.  When you are going around the track the car can go up to about 25 miles per hour.  When I was going around the track there was a sharp corner, and I was going the vehicles top speed and I spun off the track.  I was alright but it was fun.

Journal entry from March 6, 1993 (Mrs. Kern's class)

When I went to the mall with Eric and Scott something terrible happened.  We went into the arcade everything was okay.  I sat down with Eric to play a race car game I had bought a poster a little bit before this time.  When we finished our game I looked down for the poster it was gone!  I got so angry.  I'm never going to take any chances at the mall.
