Wow. It's been awhile since I've posted. A lot (I mean that in the most literal sense because I am too lazy to think of any other more creative words to describe whats happened) has happened since last time.

Dallas. Just saying that towns name brings up so many memories and feelings. Wesley and I drove down to my parents house, woke up at 7 and went straight to the fair. From about 9-11 we drank, ate what we could and went into the game. It was ridiculously hot, and my parents could hardly stand it. Leaving me and Wesley at half time, they went and enjoyed the fair. I can honestly say, I think I enjoy the feeling of being AT the game cheering on my Red Raiders more than the sport of football itself. The Matadors came out on top with a win of Baylor (Thank you, Lord). After all that, we went and ate at my dad's favorite restaurant, Bone Daddy's. It was good, but maybe over-hyped just a tad.
The next day, Wesley and I went to the Cowboy's game. This was an exciting experience for me. I have never been to the new stadium, and let me be the first to say...

Holy Cow.
That place is God-sent. It's literally a football fan/Cowboys fan/Sports fan's dream come true. It's huge, it's beautiful, and the best part? The fact you KNOW your with 100,000 other people, yet you would never know with all the short lines at the concessions and restrooms.

Intramural. Let's just get this out of the way. I believe if the Tech baseball team's supply of shortstops and/or 2nd basemen came down with a hideous flu like disease that kept them out of the season, Dan Spencer could walk over to the softball fields, give me a uniform, and they'd be just fine. I have been doin' pretty good. I bat leadoff (which I hate/love because your the person to get EVERYTHING started, but the pressure feels good). I love the added pressure of everyone in the dugout saying "Alright, lets follow Tyler's lead."
Even though it's just slow pitch softball, I get some butterflies when I step in the loose dirt at home plate. Like back in the day, when I played high school baseball and such. I've come to learn those people who play on TV in the major leagues, they are the ones who could do away with those butterflies. They know how to calm their nerves, breathe slower, and slow their own heart rate.
Me on the other hand, have a hard time even in SLOW pitch softball. But, I think that is the competitor in me. It's kinda like what my Grandma Juannette used to say.
"If your not nervous, your nor afraid of failing, and doing so, you have already failed."

Well, It's about time to hit the books again. I got a big weekend coming up with Cousin Jake's wedding in San Antonio.

Sunday mornings in the fall are some of the best things in life. You only get about 8 of them, so make them count.

Too bad I have studying and homework to fill up this one. Ahhh, the life of a full time student. I sure will miss it.

Tech lost last night, to a damn good Iowa State game. I'm tired of making up excuses for this team, so I'll just cut straight to it. We sucked, suck and will continue to suck this year. And honestly, I am just fine with that. I had my run to see our glory in 2007-2008. I'm kinda glad were going through this stage, it'll make it THAT much rewarding when things turn around. Win, lose, or draw, I am a Red Raider. I am Texas Tech, and I freakin' love it.

Speaking of Texas Tech only ONE week until the Baylor game in Dallas! I can already smell the fried food and hear the fair rides. This is gonna be awesome, because Tech has never played during the fair, so the players will get a taste of how it feels to play on a big stage in Dallas with people watching who don't care who wins, just so it's a good game.
I think of the fair as one big tailgate party, that everyone pays to get into. Fried Beer? Really? I mean, what kind of red blooded American would I be if I didn't try some?
I am more excited for my family to come see a Tech game. Last time they came and saw one, we lost to A&M by 22 points. This time, we play a very good Baylor squad and my fear is the same result, but It will be fun for them to see My Red Raiders play live, instead of on tv. (Also hear all the "raider power" chants and the other things our student section does.)
Oh, and did I mention I get to see my mom? For those of you who dont know me, I am fully aware I am a momma's boy, and I do not care. I love my parents, for everything they do. I miss them more now, than when I first moved

Besides the game, this weekend has been pretty good. Just trying to warm up for next week, but also Wesley's parents and Aunt came into town. It was great seeing them, I'd be lying to myself If I didnt say I didnt miss them. When I think of all they've done for me, besides give me the coolest/awesomest/best friend and girl I know, they have really supported and been there for me like a 2nd family. They are some people I'm very blessed to know and love.

Well, this studying wont get done by itself.

Alrighty,
So, it's been a pretty hectic week, as you can tell from my posts. A lot to do with very little time. This past week I went to see Daniel Tosh for my friend Zach's birthday. Tosh is probably one my favorite comedians. He is ridiculously hilarious. Let's just say, the 40 bucks I spent on it was well worth it. I never stopped laughing.
October is here, which means fall is finally here. I LOVE fall weather. This month is pretty much jam-packed with events. Hopefully, Ill have enough time to catch the blog up on it, but I doubt it. Speaking of events, As soon as I figure out how to put pictures up, I will.
Wesley's parents are coming into town this weekend, which will be fun. I have missed seeing them. Her aunt is also flying in from Dallas to take Wesley's senior pictures. Maybe I'll make a cameo appearance in a few, if she's lucky.
But With October comes the realization that winter is soon to be here, and winter in Lubbock is no freakin' picnic. Wind, Snow, Freezing rain, you name it, we'll probably get it. The one thing that pisses me off in the winter in Lubbock is when it's JUST cold enough to freeze and be ridiculously cold, yet it doesn't. It's like God just went half ass on the weather and moved to the next state/area.
Well, I have got to get these homework assignments done, so I can relax a bit tonight.
