You ever have one of those days where you're hit by some big realizations and its so unsettling that you feel like you're going to explode if you don't do something crazy real soon? hmm... well I guess maybe its only me. And lucky for me we had a tornado warning that was just what I needed.

The rain was pouring down outside so I grabbed my good friend Juan Andritsch (I think he is French or Cambodian or something like that) and we went for a run. We went about 4 miles running through every puddle we could find and swimming in the occasional deep one. When we got to the Farragut sea wall we decided (or I greatly encouraged) that we run along the rocks. This proved extra exciting because the waves were washing over the rocks and at one moment you could be jumping toward some solid footing only to watch it disappear under a wave while you were still floating in the air. Luckily neither of us was washed out to sea but there were some close calls. Of course we had to drop and do some motivational PT with the waves washing over our backs. Below are some pictures from a dramatic reenactment.

Next year is going to be awesome!

Well... its been a while since I last posted and I am sure many of my loyal fans are just waiting to hear what's happening in my life(thanks Lindsay, I'm glad somebody cares).

Mostly nothing exciting has happened so at this point you should probably stop scanning the page and move on cuz its not gonna get any better.

My basketball team broke its losing streak almost by accident as the other team was under the impression that they were ahead and so they ran the clock. Fortunately we proved our dominance over this team beyond a doubt the second time we played them when at the last second I chucked the ball from way past the three, and swished after the buzzer to win 14-13(this glorious moment landed me the nick name "Shot-out-of-the-@$$-boy"). Sadly, these wins have ruined or goal of shooting the moon this season. Maybe next year.

I did a screener PFT for dive school on tuesday which included a swim, max pushups, situps, and pull-ups(I almost missed these because I was distracted by a uncontrollable urge to throw up, but they let me do it after I cleaned up my mess), and a run in boots and camies. I did alright but I don't think I made it to the next step of the competition. Maybe next year.

I applied and interviewed  to be a moderator for discussions at the Naval Academy Foreign Affairs Conference, but they never responded. Maybe next year.

I auditioned for Glee Club yesterday and they told me "Maybe next year."

Today is the start of a long weekend because of Veterans Day tomorrow. I would like to leave tonight but thats not allowed for 3/C. Maybe next year.

Conclusion: Next year has great potential!

One thing I don't have to wait until next year for is Thanksgiving. In just 14 days I am going to see my most favoritest person on Earth... Lindsay Marcheta Palumbo! (sorry Bryce, I know that probably comes as a shock and disappointment) On the 22nd I am flying out to Spain to spend three glorious (and very short) days with the prettiest girl I've ever seen(sorry Bryce, I know that probably comes as a shock and disappointment). It is going to be so awesome out in Spain, although I wish I could take her to our copious family Thanksgiving feast in Reading. Maybe next year.

What am I supposed to do when I have a night with no pressing HW? I could start early on HW due on Monday, but that would be foolish and inefficient. Instead I will ramble on an online journal that no one really cares about except my girlfriend, but there's really nothing new on here for her anyway.

I flew out to CO Springs this last weekend for $10 to watch the Air Force vs. Navy game. Not only did we shut them down in there own stadium while gasping for oxygen, but I also got to spend the whole weekend at Drew and Lindsey's having a grand old time. I destroyed Lindsey in an hour long game of WAR, which only ended when we started spelling out things like "the battle of Traffalger" rather than just W-A-R. I took the game by winning "the battle of Guadalcanal."

My intramural B-ball team has developed a strategy to shoot the moon rather than keep trying to win games. That way we are much less likely to be disappointed unless someone has to forfeit. We have a good chance at reaching our goal with a solid 0-8 season so far.

Thats all I got. LOST comes on soon, at least I have something productive to do tonight.

How many people are dead? This question has been on my mind, and I have heard a lot of answers ranging from 2010 (stupid plebes) to 276,853,902,043. I can't imagine it's much more than 8 Billion.

I just had to sit through a very boring lecture from a Spacewoman who graduated from here a really long time ago. She had obviously spent too much time in space and not enough time communicating with human beings to be able to capture any ones interest, even though she probably had some good stories. The highlight of the lecture was the question and answer time at the end. These 2 questions were asked in front of the entire brigade, the Supt., Dant.,
 and many other faculty.

1. Ma'am, we have walked on the Moon and we may soon walk on Mars, but do you believe we might some day walk on the Sun?

2. Ma'am, has NASA ever had trouble with snakes on a shuttle?

Unfortunately she answered them both as if they were serious questions.
