It's the sabbath and rather than being spiritually enlightened, I am screwing around on my computer watching nonsense on youtube. I actuall have a good deal of homework to do but... I do enjoy not doing it. I hate haveing church in the afternoon. The whole day just goes to pot. Anyway, I started a new job at Heritage School. It is a boarding school for at risk youth. Training has been fun and depressing at the same time. We have to watch all these videos about child molestation and addiction and phychological disorders, usually while we eat dinner. But other than that, going swell. Yesterday I was put on a unit with kids to see how it is. I was with two other staff guys named Conan and Casey. Conan is a guy that looks and acts just like Silent Bob. It's hilarious. The students... well. They are interesting to say the least. I think that they are all a little ridiculous, but that's just me. Silent Bob told me about a video that decribes them well. I call thier main disease the "emo-syndrome" The first video is hella long so only watch it when you have time, the second one is shorter and they are both hilarious.
And number two is good too:
There you have it. I am going to have to monitor these types for my job... yippee.

So.. BYU won.
Well,
As I sit here in my sister's house, watching the UCLA vs BYU game on the tele, I realize that we are going to win. Most likely anyway. It is 59 to 0 with a quarter left to play. So now that I am thinking about football, I am going to assign a theme song to each team in the Mountain West conference.
So, starting with those I care about least:
1) San Diego State- "California" by Tupac
Basically, because they are from Cali and i hardly know jack about them. I know that when they have they're black uniforms with the red helmets, they look impressive. Aztecs? Well, I guess that "Trojans"- the cool sounding ancient civilization was already taken by another Cali team. Too bad.
2) Texas Christian University- "Spirit in the Sky" by Norman Greenbaum
Well, let us hope that they have a friend named Jesus, being Christian.
Horned frogs? Maybe one of the stranger animal mascots out there. Well heck, they are Texans, they can do what they want.
3) Colorado State University- "Rocky Mountain High" by John Denver
So they are situated in Ft. Collins, even though I am not entirely sure where that is, and I kind of dislike them. Probably because back in the day a few years ago they had a quarterback named "Van Pelt" who annoyed me a lot. I guess they deserve John Denver.Also, I associate rams with Dodges and I dislike them too.
4) University of New Mexico- "I feel Pretty" by ... Well, it's of of West Side Story.
I find New Mexico strange. The lobos, well, that sounds foreign AND intimidating.
5)University of Wyoming- "I wanna be a Cowboy" by Kid Rock
This is a good fit: the mascot, the attitude, about as classy as the aforementioned Kid Rock. I loved it when the coach flipped the douche Kyle Wittingham of the U the bird on national television.
6) University of Las Vegas- "Jonny Yuma" by Jonny Cash
Let's face it, that Jonny Yuma... he was a Rebel. I am not a huge fan of UNLV, I actually kind of hate them in Basketball. But that's neither here nor there. They are rebels, I guess.
7) Air Force Academy- "Let's Go" by Trick Daddy
There is certainly a lot of attitude and such coming off of these guys. I like thier precision and the fact that they frequently piss off the U of U. Falcons, well, thats a no brainer: they do fly, after all.
8) University of Utah- "Sabotage" by the Beastie Boys
I like the U of U against pretty much everybody except BYU. That being said, they are douches. Seriously, most of thier fans are ignorant ace-wipes (I'm looking at you Shane), and will pull against BYU even when it hurts the conferance, or, even more illogically, the U of U itself. I picked Sabotage because they delight in screwing BYU out of good seasons by somehow winning when they shouldn't. The "Thunderbirds" (gotta be politically correct, even if it makes your school look gay) is a good fit for this school. Many of its students probably also suffer from identity complex, if not plain same gender attraction (i'm looking at you again, Shane). Anywho, gay mascot, crappy colors, and hey, just not my favorite area of the world come late November.
9) Brigham Young University- "Draggin the line" by Tommy James and the Shondells.
For what seems like the longest time, BYU has been shackled by lame BCS crap. I think the whole conference suffers this disease, especially the U of U. So I am throwing out this song as a tribute to what is done, that is to say, draggin the line. The cougars is a good mascot, nothing much to add there.
Anywho, there you have it. A sound victory for BYU and a sound victory for the conference. I think everyone represented well this weekend. Let's see what happens later on.
