Mizzou Sports

This year has unquestionably been my most enjoyable as a college sports fan. Both football and basketball have gotten onto the national stage and performed well everything considered. Football was obviously a diappointment but if you figure that the only reason you have those expectations are because the team is so good, then you've got something to be excited about (especially moving forward with an established program). My appreciation for the football team can't really be expressed well enough because they've finally given us hope. Major props go out to the three seniors that stuck it through the tough times when Anderson inherited the fiasco that was the Quin Snyder era. Three years, five players susupended for a fight, and benching of your leading scorer later, you've got yourself an Elite Eight force that plays tough with two of the top five teams in the nation. And we're even more excited to see them moving forward as well because we're returning seven players who played more than ten minutes a game. Now all we need to do is sign Jarrid Famous and we're going to be a great team next year as well. A team that was picked to be in the top seven of it's CONFERENCE and now sits proudly in the top eight teams in the COUNTRY have a lot to be happy about. It's been a pleasure watching all 41 wins from both programs and I couldn't be happier with either.

Exhaustion, the good kind

APB to everyone, Tim's tired. I just am. Well, I just got back from the Rec so I'm physically tired but overall, I'm pretty much done with stuff. I can't wait for Spring Break cuz I'm just going to crash. Thus, my plan is to spread out all studying so I'm never forced to work for a long time. Last Friday was an anomaly. I put off my Hum. 2114H final till the day of and literally worked for 6 hours straight to finish it. Props to Liz Demse for keeping me focused cuz I never would have finished it without her. Anyway, just wanted peeps to know, Tim is tired, do not expect the best work if you ask favors or whatever else. School is going to be one and done. Sorry, Prof. Worthington, you're questions may just go unanswered during class tomorrow night. 

Seacrest, out.

Possible new format

I'm thinking I'm going to dapple in the vid-log format next school year while "borrowing" my future roommates compy to record/edit them. I figure that would cut down on the sheer amount of writing that people would have to read (Read? Tim, I don't read. I need to be talked to or I'm completely out of it. Hehehe, don't worry, mate, I've got your back).

The Awesomeness of Watchmen

"The only person with whom I felt any kinship with died three hundred years before the birth of Christ. Alexander of Macedonia, or Alexander the Great, as you know him."

"Well, it was unprecedented. I wanted... *needed* to match his accomplishments, and so I resolved to apply antiquity's teaching to our world, *today*. And so began my path to conquest. Conquest not of men, but of the evils that beset them. "

-Adrian "Ozymandias" Veidt

And to remind any former Wildwood students....

I met a traveller from an antique land, 
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone 
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, 
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown 
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command, 
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read, 
Which yet survive stamped on these lifeless things, 
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; 
.And on the pedestal these words appear: 
'My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; 
Look on my works, Ye Mighty, and despair!' 
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay 
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare 
The lone and level sands stretch far away. 

-Percy Bysshe Shelley

House of Heroes

Never got a link to a playlist so here it is.

Also, here are my favorite lyrics. Don't have a favorite song yet.

"Field of Daggers"

In this unending war, I've lost so many brothers.
The coldest hours come before morning.
With every drop of blood,
Spilled in this field of daggers,
Bring many sons of heaven to glory.
Until Your rains, O God, 
Bring forth Your colored beauty,
Confirm the hopes of nations in longing.

I see a new day coming.
Maybe tomorrow.
Woe to the king of nothing.

I see a new day coming!
Maybe tomorrow...
Woe to the king of nothing.
I see a clean blood running,
Brothers of sorrow.
Here is your kingdom coming!
Here is your kingdom coming!

Spread wide Your wings, O God,
Relieve this scarlet fever,
Catch every tear of mothers in mourning.
Bring life to tired hopes,
Buried in fields of flowers,
Bring many sons of battle to glory.
With every drop of blood,
Caged in this tired body,
I long to bring my father to glory.

I see a new day coming!
Maybe tomorrow...
Woe to the king of nothing.
I see a clean blood running,
Brothers of sorrow.
Here is your kingdom coming!
Here is your kingdom coming!

(Who holds the key?)

He was and is.
He is and is to come.
He was and is.
He is and is to come.
He holds the key.
