March Madness 2008


Been on my week-long spring break since Friday. My school had a televised game the next day and they rocked their opponent and went on to win their first America East tourney and got their first bid to the NCAA tourney. And so the madness began. In previous seasons, I've been a casual fan, enjoying the tourney and what not. This year, I took it to a whole nother level. I am seriously addicted to college basketball right now. I tivoed the whole game, uploaded a few clips, and constantly on the look out of any mention of UMBC everywhere. My brother seemed a bit annoyed but hey, I like this feeling. It's going to pass soon so I might as well live in the moment and enjoy it. If I had any friends, I will be willing to take a road trip down to Raleigh NC to watch my Retrievers live. They are taking on a household name: The #2 seeded Georgetown Hoyas. Seeded at #15, we are definitely a humongous under dog. When the so called experts make their predictions, they don't even look at us. Even G'town is barely mentioned. It's all good though, I have a good feeling. I think I mentally prepared myself for them to loose, although after watching them dominate like they did, and watching a few G'town games including their loss to Pitt in the big east title game, I think we have a chance. Well, enough talking, I thought I post my bracket before the first game gets underway.

Facebook makes the amount of friends you have more relevant




Facebook makes the amount of friends you have more relevant now by showing it under your profile picture. It doesn't even allow you to remove it, not that I mind. But I think this promote the popularity aspect of social networks like myspace. Not like you can't previously see this number but it took a few extra links.
