General Ramblings: I'm Drunk

Well, I'm not really drunk, just a little tipsy (a lot tipsy). We had our end of year Engineering formal tonight. Wasn't all that exciting. I just went to the dance so I could get my pewter mug and the free beer that went along with it. I feel all mature and stuff; with my iron ring and a professional looking pewter beer mug. It's almost as if I am graduating soon or something, and about to enter the real world (Haha. not really). I apologize if my typing is a little off tonight.

Watching the Carleton game I recored. CU is up by 13 or so, just past 12:00 in the first half. (we play two 20 minute halfs in canadian university basketball). It looks like CU will be going for the threepete (how do you spell that??) tomorrow. Watch that on TSN tomorrow. That'll be for 78 straight wins. Thats incredible. How do you win that many games in a row????

F1 race in Malaysia is shaping up to be really good. It starts in about an hour. Alonso is on pole, my Williams boys are starting 4 and 8. Ferrari is in 13 and 14. This should make for a very interesting race. I will talk about it more later on, depending on the outcome.

Nascar, Jimmie Johnson is starting in 3rd. I was a little dissapointed when they took some points away from him last weekend after his car was found to be in violation of the rules (even though supposedly his violation was actually a disadvantage, and he still won), but after a little thought I agree with the ruling....

I am a firm believer of playing within the rules. The rules of every sport are there for a reason. I do like to win. It makes playing a lot more fun. But if it takes cheating to win, then what is the fun of that? Look at soccer and basketball players. Embellishing on a slight tap to make it look like a big foul frustrates me. That is a form of cheating. I wish people would just play the game within the bounds of the rules. Thats why I am a firm believer in instant replay in any sport where it is available. If you can prove either way as to if a play was within the bounds of the rule, no matter what the means of doing so, then so be it. It is better to take some time to ensure people aren't cheating, than to let them get away with it. Only strict enforcement will discourage cheating from occuring in the first place.

Well I have rambled enough and my head is spinning a little bit. Have a good night and GO RAVENS!!!! Make it three in a row!!!!

Next morning Edit: Felling good now (stayed up till 4 to watch the race. Slept till 11:15). Carleton won a nail biter over St. FX. That means a fight for the championship today against concordia. Watch it on TSN today at 4:30. Race was really good last night. Lots of action and some really good passing.
