I Wish I Was 18 Again (and other stuff)

It has come to my attention that college is starting back up again. Man, do I fucking miss college. Not the class part, or the having no money part (although somehow I had more back then when I made $7.00/hr 10 hours a week), but the getting totally fucked up and having no responsibilities other than not killing yourself part. College was certainly at its best once everyone was 21, but I still remember that first day at UW-La Crosse like it was yesterday. The warm weather, getting dizzy from trying to look at all the strange, hot chicks that I would never, ever have sexual relations with, and of course, the getting totally fucked up at some random house on Red Dog and Icehouse. I'm pretty sure it was some frat party, which caused me right then and there, to hate fucking frats. But I remember meeting a bunch of dudes that I'm still friends with to this day (including SportsBottle and Schmock) and borrowing money to some random guy who was hanging out with them (Jay). All of this is semi-relived each September at Oktoberfest (23 days!!), but nothing can replace the sheer mental overload of that first day.

RANDOM FANTASY NOTE

I'm involved in a fantasy football league with acmepackingcompany.com, which is a Packer blog. Winner gets a t-shirt. It is a 12 team league, and somehow I like my team alot better than my OJSFA team. Yet my draft strategy backfired again when I ended up with T.O. and Roy Williams as my starting WRs (both of whom I loved...in 2003). I did get far more depth, so I should be fine. Draft #3 coming on Sunday night, where I'm thinking of experimenting and going autodraft to see what happens.

College Life Review

So I just wanted to toss in this quick non-Brewer related post. I happened to catch this new MTV show called "College Life". It has the potential to be life altering. The premise is that they give 4 college freshman at UW-Madison a camcorder, and hilarity ensues. It was unbelievable how I knew every single kind of person they showed on the show. It is fucking great. There is the dude that will get kicked out of college because all he does is get fucked up (on the season premier he got busted playing beer pong in his dorm room, and got a 33% on a Math test), there is the hot chick who dates the douchebag that treats her like shit and she gets drunk and cries about it, there is the Jesus freak chick who dates the douchebag that treats her like shit but she deserves it because it is her fault he is a dick because she isn't fucking him, and there is the weird hippie/geeky/multi-racial/possibly gay dude that doesn't get into "football games". I mean, it has been 10 plus years now since my freshman year of college, and absolutely nothing has changed. If this show doesn't get you into a 45 minute conversation about how your life sucks now compared to college, then you didn't go to a school in the UW system. Fuck I miss it.

RATING: First episode was a 4.5 of 5 for the memories. Series could be a 5. Will probably be a 3. But my wife has already set it to record every Monday night at 9:30.
