Clemson vs. Miami- 30-36??????
All I have to say about the outcome of this game is....WHY THE HELL DIDN'T CHARLIE TAKE THE SACK?????????? Had 2 more downs to make score and what does good ol' Whitehurst do? He throws the game right into Miami's hands. And what was up with sticky fingers (#18)? Boy there were some angry people at that game. There was a young boy behind me, couldn't have been more than 10 or 11. He said "There was a guy in the endzone doing jumpin jacks and if Charlie hadn't had his finger up his ass, he would have seen him." I turned around and laughed so hard. I totally agreed with him, but couldn't believe that came out of his mouth. He hit the nail on the head regardless. I bet he's catching hell this week buddy. "Mr. I have to ride in a golf cart to class because I'm the star and I'm too lazy to walk" Newsflash Charles- YOU'RE NOT ALL THAT! Peace!

Close game
What can you say about the Clemson/TA&M game? It was close. Seriously, we should have been several tds ahead, but a win is a win and the tigers definitely pulled it off thanks to Jad Dean (I LOVE YOU BOY!) Charlie....not my favorite player. I yelled at him the entire game (like he could hear me). I don't see what these girls find sooooooooooo attractive about him. It's just gotta be because he's the QB, can't be his looks. He looks hot....a hot mess! The infamous #6 jersey most of the girls are wearing is an eyesore. Wear numbers that mean something like #30- Jad Dean, #2- Chansi Stuckey, #28- Kyle Browning, #14- Will Proctor (way to pick up the slack you sexy thing!), #1- James Davis, #3- Duane Coleman, or #8- Tye Hill. I have jersey #'s 30 and 2. I'm sorry, but I am so glad that this is Whitehurst's last year. I think Will makes better decisions under pressure. And what was with the play everyone thought we scored on and didn't? WHAT WERE YOU THINKING CHARLIE?! The one time he wants to try something fancy on the 3 or 4 yd line, it falls through. Surprise? I was so mad about that play. That game was too close when it really shouldn't have been, but I kept the faith in my tigers. SOLID ORANGE BABY!

I'm an official TIGER!
Yeah yeah yeah, I know it has been a while since my last post. I had to get some things in order, plus I've been more involved with the youth at my church, but that's another blog...Anyway, I started my 1st day at Clemson on August 24th. Stupid me walked up the hill of death instead of riding the C.A.T bus up. Oh believe me, I know better now. I need to walk that hill though. My buttis getting bigger! It feels so nice to be out of Tri-County and in Tiger country. I feel like a "real" college student now. My classes are pretty cool, all except for my Math Analysis class. YUCK! I hate math with an utter passion, which is why I'm getting it over with quick, fast, and in a hurry.
I have an online class- Management PC Applications. I haven't even loaded the software yet. LOL. We have until Sept. 10th to actually check in for the official roll, so I'm being a procrastinator in that respect.
Comtemporary Literature is a pretty cool class. It's very laid back and the teacher is cool, kinda weird at times, but he keeps things interesting. He mentioned on Wednesday that he used to be a professional psychic....hmm. I never would have guessed! Katrina is in my class...HEY GIRL!!!!
Last, but not least, my African-American Religions class- verrrrrrrrry interesting. Before the end of the semester, we have to visit 4 different religious communities than we aren't affiliated with. I have never been to a Catholic church before, so that will be one of my choices. Redemption Outreach is amazing. I have been there on several occasions. Ron Carpenter is the man! Thank God for him. I didn't know that there's an Islamic church in Clemson. The thing about going there is that all of the women have to have their hair wrapped in a scarf and wear modest clothing with their arms and legs covered. I'm a little nervous about that one, but I want to go just to say I went. Along with visiting these places, we have to write a 2-3 page report on each telling how they conducted services, what were their procedures, were there any instruments, was it loud, was it quiet- things of that nature. This is going to be an experience.
So far, I am enjoying my time at Clemson. I remember way back when I said, "I will never go to Clemson. It's too close to home." Now, I can't imagine being anywhere else. I'm a true tiger at heart. I thank God for guiding me in this direction and ordering my steps. Malph, I wanna see you on campus in the spring. Don't make me beat you! Peace!

I'm back!
What going on fellow bloggers and bloggettes? I haven't been blogging to much because I have been on vacation off and on this entire month. The week of the 4th I was in Las Vegas, The Grand Canyon, and San Diego (yes, my entire family and I did this in one week!) It was so much fun. Vegas has expanded even more since 2001 when I was last there. It's still as beautiful as ever, but hot as all get out. Imagine the hot weather we've been having lately....now take away the humidity and add about 20 more degrees, and you've got Vegas/Arizona weather. I spent most of my time visiting the various hotels on the strip and hitting up the casinos. I didn't hit it big, but I got a few good hits every now and then.
Ok, the trip from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon totaled up to about 4 or 5 hrs. Let me tell you why! First of all, there isn't a damn thing to look at but rocks, tumbleweeds, and a house here and there. Other than that, the ride was BORRRRRRRRRRRING! Then, we turn off on the main road that takes us right into the canyon. Ok, we knew we had to travel 21 miles on a dirt road to get there, at least that's what the pamphlet said....DIRT! I'll be damn if we didn't travel on straight rock and gravel the entire 21 miles! Dirt my ass, and it wasn't like we could drive fast in these Chrysler Town and Countries we rented....no more than 15 mph, if even that. It was miserable, but once it was over everything was cool. The Grand Canyon....it's just something you have to see with your own eyes. It's absolutely gorgeous. We went to the South Rim in 2001; This time we looked at the West Rim, which is owned and operated by an Indian Tribe. The tour included this nice bbq lunch.....but they ran out of bbq! The side items were good though, would have been better with some meat. LOL. Then, I took a picture with an Indian named Troy (don't ask me how to pronounce his Indian name). He was cool. He could tell we were from South Carolina, of course, because of our dialect. I have lots of pics. I will post one or two in a few.
We went from 109 degrees in Las Vegas to 68 degrees in San Diego. Yes, 68 degrees. Apparently, the San Diego area is one of the best in the nation as far as climate. It's like that all year round. Now I could live there! At night it gets pretty chilly because it sits near the Pacific. We didn't get to do a whole lot because we were only there for two days, but we did get to go to the San Diego Zoo (largest zoo in North America).
Today, I just came back from Savannah, GA for our family reunion. Geez, this one deserves its own blog entry, so I shall do this one tomorrow. This is Shaa, signing off and signing out!

Miss Evelyn
As most of you know, I work at the SCDOT in Anderson (NOT THE DMV YOU CRAZY PEOPLE! THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DMV!) Everytime I tell someone I work at the Dept. of Transportation, they automatically think "DMV" and ask, "So, how do you stand the crowds of people?" or they'll ask me something regarding their license. I have been working there 3 years; The DMV shit is getting old. I feel like choking the next person who mentions anything about the DMV. Ok now that I've cleared that up, I can move on with my post.
We have this lady in the office we call Miss Evelyn. She's roughly in her middle to late 60's. This lady is so annoying. She talks to herself out loud, as if someone were standing right there. I'm still trying to learn to block that noise out and she does this alllllllllllllll fucking daaaaaaaaaaaay! Her voice carries throughout the office, so there's no way of escaping it unless you bring your earphones to work like I do. If I didn't I'd be just as insane as she is.
The next annoying thing she does is she pounds on her calculator when she's doing the company bills. Get this, she types in a steady rhythm- taptaptap TAP! taptaptap TAP! OMG!
Miss Evelyn is a clean freak when it comes to her work area. She keeps 4 containers of wet wipes in her desk cabinet. As soon as she comes into work, she'll get her wipes and wipe down her desk, her phone (receiver, buttons, and all) and her CLOTH chair. She goes through this same routine when she comes back from her lunch break, same damn scenario. What is the phobia for fear of germs? I'll have to look that up, but for now I'll call her a "Germophobic."
I've heard people talk with a heavy Southern accent, but no one comes remotely close to Miss Evelyn. Her voice makes everyone elses seem Yankeeish (no offense at all to Yankees). Miss Evelyn has the country twang and Southern drawl all in one. It's quite annoying. especially when she doesn't say specific words correctly. For instance, Iver=Iva, Columbier=Columbia, kindly=kind of, Honier Path=Honea Path, umbreller=umbrella, Sheiler=Sheila (a lady in our accounting dept.) and omg I could go on for days. Everytime she mispronounces Columbia I just want to ask her, "Where the hell is Columbier???" Basically any word ending with an "a" automatically gets changed to the "er" in her messed up world.
Does anyone else out there work with someone this fucking annoying?????

Just when you thought it was over...
This summer's program line-up- REALITY FUCKIN TV! The only reality tv I care to watch is either Real World or Road Rules. Everything else can go in the pisser. The 1st 2 American Idol shows were the best in my opinion. It has lived it's life and quickly died in my sense. It's only good during the 1st 3 weeks of elimination. I like watching the ones who suck. Anyway, here's some of the line-up:
Big Brother 6: Returning to CBS on July 7th. This show is a sorry knock-off of The Real World. After I saw the 1st one, I had no desire to watch it again. I think we have enough shows about 7 people living in one house for months.
Average Joe 4: This aired yesterday on NBC. Honestly, who cares about Joe??? The previous 3 didn't do so well in ratings, according to NBC, so they figure #4 will be the charm? I DON'T THINK SO! I didn't give 2 shits about the last 3. I run into "Average Joes" everyday and 98% of them I wouldn't give the time of day. Please!
Hell's Kitchen: Aired May 30th. I actually stumbled across this show the other day while channel surfing. I watched the entire thing (I was bored). The Chef's name is Gordon Ramsay. He puts me in the mind of Simon Cowell. Here's the basic premise of the show: There are 2 cooking teams (red and blue). Both teams are given like 15 orders each and the 1st team to complete all of their orders correctly, with the approval of Chef Ramsay, wins. If one thing is missing off the plate, Chef Ramsay throws the entire dish away and makes the team start over. At the end, each team has to eliminate someone, typical reality tv behavior. And everything is "yes chef," "no chef." It becomes fuckin redundant! Seriously, FOX is running out of damn ideas.
The Scholar: Aired June 6. On this show, 10 high school students compete for a scholarship (valued up to $240,000). These 10 kids have to live in the same house (of course) for a few weeks. Does this scenario sound familiar to you? Each week contestants take a pressure-filled, timed, written exam. Those with the two highest scores put their leadership skills to the test by choosing teams and guiding their groups through a series of math and physics challenges, all while the judges are evaluating every move. Finally, three of the contestants face off in a sudden death oral exam for a separate, $50,000 cash award which they can apply toward their college fund and which will qualify them for a spot in the finals and a chance at the grand prize of $240,000. Is there that much airtime available that these fools of producers don't know what to do with it? I could care less which one of the nerds gets the scholarship. I'm not getting any of the money. I sure as hell need it after the tuition increase coming up this fall. Clemson ain't a cheap school ya know. I'm the one who needs that scholarship, hell 3 even!
Being Bobby Brown: Airing June 30th. Ok again I say, WHO CARES? I don't care how Bobby and Whitney are living. I feel so sorry for their daughter. Bobby is a violent S.O.B; Whitney is on crack and she's no bigger than the string of my thong...NEXT!
Britney & Kevin-Chaotic: We could have survived without that shit cluttering our tv programming. Britney is about as dumb as it gets. She had to BUY a damn husband. He is getting paid like WHOA, and when they get a divorce, he will still get paid. Now they're expecting a kid? God help that child when it comes!
I Want To Be A Hilton: Premiered June 21st. UNCALLED FOR!
The Surreal Life: The only one I really liked the most was Surreal Life 4 with Chyna (former wrestler) Da Brat (rapper) Adrienne (1st America's Next Top Model winner) Christopher Knight (Peter Brady) Vern Troyer (better known as Mini Me) the guy who was the 1st Calvin Klein model, and one of the original members of the "Go Gos." OMG! That entire season was hillarious! I will say that The Surreal Life is worth my time, because I love this show- this, Real World, Road Rules, some Fear Factor, and an Amazing Race every now and then.
Oh, and this takes the fuckin cake right here. I didn't not even know this existed....A FOX REALITY TV CHANNEL????!!!!! Yes, that's right, "Fox Reality." WTF??
On Tuesday, May 24, 2005, Fox Reality will hit the airwaves. Fox Reality will be one of the largest launches ever for a new network reaching an estimated 18.5 million homes. Shows that are set to air during the launch week include Joe Millionaire, Cops, World’s Most Shocking Moments, The Villa, Real Stories of the Highway Patrol, Arrest & Trial, 5th Wheel, Xtreme Dating, and Single Girls. <http://www.realitytvmagazine.com/blog/2005/05/fox_reality_cha.html>

Yahoo shuts down user created chatrooms.
