Well the news about my big win continues to circulate. I got to see my relatives last weekend, which was nice. Everyone was very happy to learn of my success.
This morning I learned that there was a story on Digg about my victory. Very cool. A woman from the Wall Street Journal called me last night to double check some facts for a story they’re publishing. I’m looking forward to that one.
I just noticed that the same article made it’s way to Esreality. It makes me happy to see it there, since it was the website where I learned about the tournament. Nice to see things come full circle.
You now have to register to post comments on my website. I know you’re all heartbroken but I was getting pretty sick of the spam so it needed to be done. Check back soon, I’m gonna try to improve the site some more this month.

The Erie Times did another article on me now that I’m a big winner. The article seems ok, but they said I won with a video game controler which just made me roll my eyes. It’s ok though, the interview was just last night so I’m sure they didn’t have much time to look into things before it got to press. I still think I like the first article better though.

Things have been pretty busy this summer and I haven’t had much time to dedicate to the site. I think at some point in the future I will try to divide this site into two seperate sites, one personal and one professional.

It took a heroic preformance from Dywane Wade last night for the Heat to win their first game of the NBA finals. Shaq looked good early on, but started to fizzle towards the second half. While he didn’t have the monster night that many were expecting, he did manage to nail two key free throws near the end of regulation. Shaq and Wade weren’t the only contributors however. Gary Payton hit a clutch 2 to put the Heat up by 2 with 9.3 seconds remaining in the game.
It was nice to see the Heat finally come alive in the playoffs. In the begining of the 4th quarter you could just sense that the game was slipping away, and that the Heat were going to go down 3-0. The Heat players must have sensed it too however, because they responded.
The next game is Thursday night.

Steelers fans were shocked yesterday after learning that Ben Roethlisberger was hurt in a motorcycle accident. Ben is currently listed as being in serious but stable condition at Mercy Hospital in Pittsburgh.
According to reports, Roethlisberger suffered a 9″ laceration on the back of his head, a broken jaw, a fractured left sinus cavity, lost or chipped a number of teeth, and injured both knees when hitting the ground. There seems to be some debate as to the severity of the knee injuries that Roethlisberger sustained. As a Steeler fan, I know that the knee injuries have the potential to hamper or even ruin Roethlisberger’s career. I can only hope that they’re minor as some reports suggest.

Tomorrow is the start of the NBA finals. Oh yeah! This post season has already been quite an exciting one, with a lot of good matchup’s and some 7 game series. I think this years finals has two great teams, both of which I’m rooting for.
The Mavs survived the Spurs and have Dirk, one of the most dominant players in the playoffs. They also have Jason Terry (JET) who is not only a good player but is surprisingly well spoken. Another key advantage they have is the depth of their bench. They’ll need everyone one it to try and control the Diesel.
The Heat are the team I like to consider the “good ole boys”. They just remind me of the side you want to win in a battle of good vs evil. They have Shaq, one of the greatest big men to ever play the game, and Dwyane Wade, a guy who truly embodies the nickname “Flash”. The Heat’s bench is not quite as deep as its opponents, but they do feature an allstar cast of players.
Ok I’m done typing.
Mavs in 6

I was a bit skeptical going into this movie, after seeing that it only recieved a 56% on rotten tomatoes. I had heard other people saying that the movie was good, so I had to decide for myself.
Overall, the movie was OK. Definatly no X-Men 2. The plot was good, and there were some entertaining scenes, but they were easily overshadowed by cheesy one liners and other predictable moments. The introduction of some new characters was nice. You get to see some of Iceman’s abilities, but not enough in my opinion. The death of a certain character near the begining of the film was unessecary and didn’t add much to the film. Hally Berry has a lot of lines and screen time in the movie, but doesn’t really do much. Her mutant abilities suck for the most part – the spinning punch move is pretty weak. Overall it’s pretty much the movie you would expect from the person who directed Rush Hour.
The movie has already made a ton of cash, and will likely do so for the weeks to follow. I feel as though the sucess of the movie is because of the previous films and not because of the work of the current director. It’s unfortunate that Bryan Singer decided to leave the series for the new Superman movie, but I have a feeling it will be a much better film.

WordPress is such a pain in the ass to install. Seriously. The inital install was a piece of cake, but getting it to work was a whole different story. Half of the time I tried to go to any of the pages my browser would try to download them. I searched the support site for about 4 hours total without finding a solution to my problem. Finally, I figured out that if I deleted my cache folder things would work (and break as soon as the cache folder was recreated). So I turned of the cache and what do you know the shit works!
