LeYawn Lames - Adam

LeBron James or more commonly known as LeYawn Lames is one of the most boring Professional Sports players I've ever had to watch choke in the play offs.

I don't think I even need to say anything more partly because that statement is truth and nothing more needs to be aded to it and the other partly because my cousin Brian and his roommate Jamie are over at my place visiting right now and I'm sorry but I don't feel like doing alot of paper work at this time. thank you and good night

Playoff Payoff - Brian

We need to restructure the playoff systems for the 3 major sports (sorry, but I'm not including the NHL because I don't know enough about it).

With the NFL, MLB and NBA, the the division winners get automatic spots and the remaining spots are filled with wild-card teams. Doesn't seem like a problem? Well let's do a scenario...

Team A finished 11-5
Team B finished 9-7

Who should make the playoffs? Team A, right? But...Team B won its division and automatically make it, while Team A lost a tie breaker for the last wild-card spot. That just doesn't make sense to me. This works the exact same with the MLB and NBA, and scenarios like this happen almost every year. People don't think this is a problem until it happens to their team, and when it does, it is one of the most frustrating things to deal with as a fan.

Easy fix, the teams with the best records make the playoffs...period.

The Desire to Retire - Adam

I know what my faithful female fans are thinking right know "Adam you better not be writing a blog about sports because sports are boring" and to this I'll say yes it is about sports but its about emotion and love for the game (two things I know all girls can't hear enough of: emotion and love).

Maybe its because I was spoiled at a young age with Micheal Jordan having the perfect retirement shot to go allong perfectly with his 6th title. Or perhaps during my senior year of high school witnessing Jerome Bettis end his amazing career not just with a super bowl win but in his home town Detroit. Whatever the reason I am a hopeless sportmantic. Professional athletes all want the same thing, a championship to retire with, but not everyone gets one. Slowly watching and realizing that cold hard fact can be the hardest thing for an athlete to do and a spectator to see.

I wasn't going to say anything about this secret passion I have to see every story end happily ever after, but once LT was let go and watching his press conference on ESPN tore me up inside. (ofcourse its not on youtube fuck me right?). It reminded me of about a month ago watching Brett Farve, who in my opinion is the most heart breaking example of an athlete that just wants a title to go out on, get closer and closer to the goal only to see it slip away when he was so close to reaching the championship game. Ken Griffey Jr. has been playing since when? 1989 that's before some of you were even born. What do you think he is desperately holding out for?

Not everyone likes sports I understand that. But when people make the claim that they are dumb and stupid that's just uncalled for. That is like me looking at an artist's lifes work, their soul poured out onto a canvas, and saying "That's dumb." Watching an athlete age could be one of lifes most depressing things. All the time and heart put into the game only to have their body not continue to perform like they want it to and like it once was able to do. I've heard people say retirement is the number one cause of death, after seeing Jordan put on a wizards jersey the statement probably isn't too far off.

Chow Time - Adam

Nothing is more appealing than Mealing to me

and Luckily for me America has plenty of opportunitys for me to get my grub on. Allow me to map out the socially except-able meal schedule:

• Breakfast - arguably the most important meal of the day.
• Brunch - This is a nice way to ease your stomach away from breakfast meals and begin preparing room for the long awaited next meal
• Lunch - Finally the wait is over the middle meal the one that lets you know you are half way done with the day. relax sit back and enjoy the time off
• Snack Time - You don't want to get caught missing snack time or you could become delirious this meal is a must if powering through a difficult board meeting or a session of street ball
• Dinner - The king of all meals and my personal favorite. this hay maker will set your belt back a few notches a must have meal in my book
• Dessert - Experts have argued that this could be categorized in with the dinner session and its really a matter of preference the same goes for appetizers
  
• Fourth Meal - I always knew there was a session of eating that needed to occur at this point in the night but never had a term for it until my good friends at Taco Bell came along and gave me a helping hand. Everyone's a fourth mealer...some just don't know it yet
• Midnight Snack - usually something very sweet commonly ice cream although certainly not limited to any tasty sweet treat. This is kind of the wild west of meals because there is no law

Now all this talk is making me hungry you know what they say: out with the old in with the new...and now the old is officially...out.

Skill or Luck? - Brian

College basketball could be one of the most exciting sports in my eyes. It combines skill, intensity, and the desire to win, along with the fact that anyone can beat anyone (see South Carolina beating Kentucky, and then struggling to win ever since).

But there is one large flaw that college basketball has. And that is the fact that the automatic bid to the NCAA tournament comes not from the regular season champions, but from the conference tournament champions.

This is incredibly flawed because of a simple scenario like this:

Team A and Team B both play for "one-bid" conference (meaning that they aren't a very strong conference, so only the winner of the automatic bid will make it - true for about half of the D-I conferences).

Team A finishes 23-7 with a 17-0 conference record. Team B finishes 14-16 with a 5-12 conference record. Clearly Team A deserves the automatic bid, right? But Team B plays very good for the 4 days of the conference tournament, and ends up winning. This means Team B makes it to the NCAA tournament, and Team A stays home. Huh?

Doesn't make much sense to me. The team who plays better for the entire season should win the bid, not the fluke team who plays well for 4 days. This happens more often than you think, and it allows terrible teams into the tournament (which, by the way, is supposed to be the BEST 65 teams, not the best 60 and the luckiest 5).

It even happens in "power" conferences. In 2008, Georgia won the SEC tournament and automatically qualified for the tournament. Their record that year? 13-16, with a 4-12 tournament record. This means that they also pushed a bubble team out of the tournament field.

So who would you rather have in the tournament - The 13-16 Bulldogs who got lucky, or the 26-4 mid-major team who played well all year, but lost their conference tournament, and got pushed out of the field of 65 because of Georgia?

Bachelor of Arts - Adam

First off Sunday night I had a chimichonga from Cazuela's
Then last night I had a .99 cent chicken burrito and a .89 5 layer beefy burrito from the bell

what does this mean to you? not much but to me it means one powerful session of paper work that would bring any normal man to his knees in tears. fear not faithful readers this is just another day in Adam's diet.
I'm about six months away from finally receiving my Bachelor of Arts degree. Since I'm new to this whole deal I have some questions about the life change and transition that will occur.

people with their PHD always get to put that at the end of their names whenever they please. Doctors get to put Dr. in front of their name this begs the question do I get to put B.A. at the end of my name because honestly that would be bad ass (pun intended)

Mr. Adam C. Schuch B.A.

that's pretty sweet people will be whispering "does that mean he is a scholarly gentleman or a fellow I'd rather not get into a scrap with" to which I would reply both obviously. plus I meet a babe some place and I tell her "hello my name is Adam...I'm a Bachelor of Arts" thus obviously sparking her response of "oh you like art? how romantic and ridiculously handsome to boot"

my next question is what happens when I get married do I lose my Bachelor of Arts or does it transform into a Husband of Arts or perhaps a Spouse of Arts and do women who receive a degree (I know sounds far fetched) get a Bachelorette of Arts or Science?

well whatever the case I'm looking forward to putting B.A. at the end of my name. (I know technically I would be able to now for bad ass purposes but I'll hold off till the degree because that one didn't come naturally)

Socks - Adam

"Constipation gives writers block a whole new meaning for you"
-Anne Fogarty

what is the purpose of socks? They protect your feet from shoes (which are feet protectors). Think about it... When shopping for socks there are few things too look for. Color, length, and that's about it. They are so simple and insignificant, yet if something goes wrong with your sock it will drive you insane. I have some low cut black shoes they are all I own. what is the one function a sock needs to do? ...stay up, and that's it its one function is to stay around my ankle. I hate it when socks fall down under your heel and in your shoe its irritating and not an easy fix. If you made socks don't you think in the year 2010 you could somehow invent some sort of elastic that had the power to stay around an ankle even during the largest bound? I mean what is stopping everyone from just using wash clothes as socks?...the elastic band of course. When I purchase socks there is no way of telling how good the band is going to be and as the consumer I have to blindly trust the sock industry to not lead you astray. I wish there was some new sock break through that could keep those puppies up. Or elastic band replacement kits so that you could get a nice tight comfortable fit giving the support you always wanted yet with the feel of an old sock. am I alone?

The Road Warrior - Adam

I feel like there are certain rules of the road that are unspoken. Pedestrians have the right of way is first and foremost (except for trains). After experiencing Columbus and walking in and around campus I have taken advantage of this cardinal rule. However I do make an exception and that is for buses. Anytime the road is used as a person's way of income I always try to make their life as easy as possible. Bus drivers and Truck drivers spend their lives on the road and I feel like we should try to cut them as much slack as possible I mean the road can be very dangerous. The road is kinda like their office and I wouldn't want people messing with me when I am at work. Truckers if treated with respect can beyour best friend when on the road. Plus they spend hours driving and they aren't the easiest vehicle to maneuver and they don't stop on a dime. So the next time you see a convoy rolling through give them an arm pump and listen for that sweet sweet air horn.

Stay 65 - Brian

There has been much talk recently of expanding the NCAA tournament field from 65 teams to 96 teams. What a terrible idea.

Now every year there are, at most, 5 teams who have a legitimate reason to be upset that they didn't make March Madness. But do you really think there are 31 other teams that really deserve to make the tournament? No way.

My only addition would be to expand the tournament to 68 teams. This would give us four play-in games to determine the four 16 seeds. Let's be honest, there is little difference between 15 and 16 seeds, so taking some of them away and putting them in play-in games won't hurt anyone. And it will allow us to add 3 more decent teams to the field. Most of the bubble teams that don't make it are better than automatic bids from bad conferences that end up being 14, 15, and 16 seeds anyways, so bumping a few of them down a seed (or into a play-in game) would only make the tournament slightly more competitive.

And how upset would I be if this change never happens? Not at all. I love the tournament the way it is right now, and so I will never be upset. I might gripe for a day about a few teams who I thought should have made it (watch out for a blog about that when it happens), but once the tournament starts, that all goes out the window. So do us a favor and keep it at 65.

Boovies - Adam

You ever read a book or play a video game and really enjoy it a lot? (of course you have that was rhetorical) Then later you find out that the book is being turned into a movie and you are very excited for it. Only to find out that it has absolutely nothing to do with the thing with which its based off of?

now first off I'd like to say that this has nothing to do with terrible sequels or poorly done movies based on books. I'm talking about ones that have NOTHING to do with the original except for the title.

Now I don't read a lot...ok I don't read at all but when I was in grade school I read things that were required. (Well ok I only ever read the right hand page, because it made the book half as long and I could still pretty much get the jest of it, plus some help from spark notes) but here is some literature that I read in school and later watched the movie thinking to myself "wtf was that?"

I first realized this cheap trick when I was a young boy watching the film Super Mario Bros. expecting an incredible adventure in the mushroom kingdom with Mario and Luigi saving Princess Toadstool from Bowser. Instead I got some humans claiming to be koopa troopas and some weird sorry excuse for yoshi along with my first taste of what would be many of life's disappointments.

Second was in middle school we read the novel The Rats of Nimh. Following the read our teacher let us watch the movie which was a disappointment and nothing like the book but we got to skip a few classes watching the film so you didn't hear me complain.

My sophomore year of high school we read a lot of the tales of king Arthur and the knights of the round table that same year a film titled King Arthur came out. How perfect I thought I'll take my girl friend to see it and I can impress her with all of my knowledge about him... nothing like the stories...

Now I could go on and on about these disappointment but I'll wrap it up with one more and that was my senior year of high school we read about the most bad ass dude ever Beowulf. Year later a film supposedly based off the epic poem was released again to my dismay the film was terrible and had nothing to do with the actual story. sure the names were the same that is all that was the same for any of these movies.

I know there are plenty of other examples like this I just don't read enough. Comments? experiences similar to mine? let it all out

Black Eyed Please! - Adam

Last night my roommates and I attended a Black Eyed Peas concert at the Schott. First off Thank you Michelle Fogarty. Secondly it was incredible. and Lastly I seriously think I might be in love with Fergie.

Next: Winter Olympics, boring and not the worlds best athletes. As Colin Cowherd describes it, its all about money and mountains. Where the Rich and Elite Meet to Compete. But it does have its moments.

Lastly I'd like to express some feelings I have about escalators. I wish people would treat them like stairs because really they are stairs. Escalators are just stairs that kinda give you a little boost. I hate getting stuck behind someone on an escalator people will be cruising around the mall or wherever but once their feet touch the escalator they for some reason freeze. And you can't get around them you just have to sit there and wait. (like I said before I can never find youtube clips I want so imagine the chase scene in blades of glory between Arnett and Ferrell

Today Michael Air Jordan turns 47

LeBron Who? - Brian

I am merely copying and pasting part of an article by my favorite sports writer, Bill Simmons of ESPN.com. I give him full credit for every word in this post. I just wanted to share this with you because it pretty much sums up how incredible MJ and Kobe are (and not how incredible LBJ is).

"My favorite MJ stat of all time: From November 1990 through June 1998, the Bulls never lost three games in a row with Jordan. My second-favorite MJ stat of all time: In his final three Chicago seasons, in a 31-month stretch that started November '95 and ended June '98, he played in 310 of a possible 310 games. My third-favorite MJ stat of all time: He averaged 30.1 points in the regular season and 33.4 points in the playoffs. That's really all you needed to know about the guy. Warrior. Impossibly competitive. Got better when it mattered.

I think that's how Kobe wants to be remembered, too. Warrior? Definitely. Impossibly competitive? Yes. Got better when it mattered? Occasionally, not consistently. But he has one trump card for a history battle with Jordan: years. Thanks to college, a broken foot and two retirements, Jordan lost nearly eight seasons of games from 18 to 40. Kobe has been banging out seasons since he was 18. Barring injury, Kobe will play 60,000 minutes (regular season plus playoffs), score 35,000 points (the most by any guard ever), play 250-plus playoff games (the record is 244), pass 6,000 playoff points (also a record) and win seven titles (one more than Jordan). If he plays at a high level through his late 30s, he has a real chance to pass Kareem's 38,387 points.

Do I think he knows all these things? Yes.

Do I think he thinks in terms of, "I can't miss three weeks of games, that's 400 points that I'd lose toward chasing Kareem?" Yes.

Do I think this is a bad thing? Actually, no. He should be motivated by those things. Kobe Bryant will never be better than Michael Jordan, but he definitely could have a better career. It's in play. And he knows it."

High School - Adam

When I was in high school people would always say "these are the best days of your life", or "youth is wasted on the young" and nonsense like that as a senior in college and being out of High School for nearly four years now I have a little bit of a perspective. In High School your first two years you can't even drive so Pam has to take you everywhere you want to go. Then you have to wake up around 7:30 every day and you have to look nice because if not classmates may crucify you. And you are stuck with the same people from the age 5 to 18 so if you do something that would be considered social suicide everyone will remember you as that kid. But its also nice because you get to see your friends everyday and get to hang out and have fun with them while not at work. Then once you are at the High School you have to go to eight classes per day. These aren't just lectures either oh no you have to participate, read, answer questions and of course you are given homework every night because you have a one in eight chance that one of your teachers will give you homework. You don't get paid to go to school but then again you have parents so...guess thats actually a plus you don't have to work and still gain some sort of income. Then you have to eat the school lunch which looking back on it now wasn't that bad of a deal two bucks for a well rounded meal? I wouldn't mind swinging by a high school for lunch break for the rest of my life with that kind of deal if it wasn't extremely creepy. But aside from all these cons high school does have its advantages. When you are in high school people don't expect anything out of you. You can do whatever you want and pull the "I'm just a high schooler card" and it works every time. Plus high school kids are in the ultimate power position of society. They can sit back and criticize all adults and we can't say shit back because they are just high schoolers and they have the opportunity to do whatever they want after high school. for instance a high schooler can look at my major or career and say

"psh thats what you are doing with your life...man I'm going to be a fucking heisman winning astronaut doctor who stars in movies while married to a super model after retiring from the NFL once I graduate"

and you can't come back with anything you can say "yeah we'll see about that" but it doesn't matter because the high school kid has already won. Also in high school you can wear the most trendy things and not get made fun of, while once you are out of high school people think you dress like a slob or are trying to dress younger than you are (I'm not that old yet but I don't know how much longer I can pull off trendy stuff). Or if you admit you are old and dress your age high schooler still win because they can be like "hey get a load of grandpa over here" and you just sit back and take it because what are you going to say? "why you little hoodlums get a job!" oh that's going to cut a high school kid real deep. The bottom line is this: Is high school the greatest years of your life? depends on what you value I guess. if you value drama and being societies supreme critic then I guess so. If you value accomplishment, independence, and reality then perhaps not.

Bills Part II - Adam

I've been thinking about a few more bills that I will have to pay for the rest of my life thus this is a continuation from a previous post.

Health Insurance, Car Insurance, Cellular Phone...ok so those are really the only extra ones that I thought of but what about yearly check ups with Dentists, Optometrists, Doctors, oil change, tire change, tire rotation, and renewing your license plates every year especially if they are vanity plates.

Well its Valentines day and I love the holiday as much as Liz Lemon does. So that's all I'm saying about that nonsense although I did have a nice Saturday in that city up north watching Scott cut some serious rug.

Justice? - Brian

This doesn't have everything to do with sports, but it does involve some sports figures, so I'm going to consider it close enough.

Can I just start off with saying that our courts and justice system is unfair and impractical.

Why is killing a dog now worse than killing a human? Let me explain...

Michael Vick spent 23 months in jail for everything he did, with most of the penalty coming because of the fact that he killed a lot of the dogs. I totally agree with his punishment, and I think he got what he deserved.

Donte Stallworth killed a 59 year old man with his car when Stallworth was driving drunk. He served 24 days. I will let you re-read that one...

I'm sorry, but I just think it is incredible that the punishment for killing dogs is greater than for killing a human. 24 days??? Is that all this mans life was worth? Stallworth was DRUNK! He drove his car anyways, and it ended a life. And he went to jail for 24 days. Vick kills some dogs and goes for 23 months.

Justice? I think not.

This is what PETA has brought us to. A land where dogs are worth more than humans.

Tyler's Birthday - Adam

Today Tyler Douglas Schuch turns a quarter of a century old

Women and Athletes:

So I have noticed a phenomenon since I have been on the campus of Ohio State. Women throw themselves at athletes. I have never seen my roommates flip out more than when Terrelle Pryor got out of his car while we were walking past on the side walk. But why? I can't get my roommates to watch a sporting event of any kind (other than dance...) with me if I paid them yet when they see Pryor they love it and it makes their day. Do they care that Terrelle this past season threw for 2094 yards and 18 touchdowns? Do they care that he rushed for 779 yards and 7 touchdowns? Do they care that he has helped us keep alive the longest winning streak against Michigan in the school's history or that he has helped us win five big ten titles in a row again a school record? No they don't care or know anything about any of these stats. so will someone please explain to me why is it that all women love Terrelle Pryor. Is it his intellect? Is it his charming smile? And I'm not limiting this to just Pryor this phenomenon happens all across the country and no one knows why and no one has thought about it. Well I think about it, I think about it alot. I like Pryor and I love Ohio State football and the kid just gave me a rose bowl win. If anything all the men at Ohio State should be jumping up and down screaming when he passes us in the oval we are the ones that appreciate how he has affected each of our lives.

Dubai, UAE - Adam

Dubai, United Arab Emirates might be the coolest place on earth. For starters they have so much money that for fun the place decided to create a replica of the world with man made islands. They have the tallest structure and building in the world. Why are they so rich and awesome? Ever wonder where all that money goes from buying oil in the middle east? Well this is just one of the places that it goes. So along with all of this awesome stuff it has because Dubai's government is so rich citizens of Dubai actually get paid by the government. This means instead of paying taxes and going to work the citizens all get welfare checks. So how does anything get built or accomplished? They have either immigrants do the work or out source it. Seriously Yahoo it see for yourself. How sweet would that be?

Stats - Brian

Some stats and records to munch on from the Super Bowl:

Drew Brees tied the record for most completions in a SB with 32.

Manning and Brees set the record for the most combined completions in a SB with 63.

The Saints produced the largest comeback in SB history - 10 points.

Pierre Thomas is the 3rd running back in history to have a receiving touchdown in both the conference championship game and the SB in the same season (that's right, the 3rd).

The Colts produced the longest scoring drive in SB history - 96 yards.

The Saints had the first successful onside attempt before the 4th quarter in SB history.

Garrett Hartley of the Saints is the first kicker in SB history to make three field goals of 40 or more yards.

Super Bowl 44 was the most watched TV program in TV history (oh and the NFC championship game was the most watched non-SB sporting event of all time).

And one final one: This is the Saints first SB appearance and SB win.

FYI

Prediction I - Adam

So last night around 1 in the morning (last night? in the morning? make up your fucking mind right?) I got back from a weekend trip to visit my Second Cousin Brian P. Carr for a super bowl Sunday extravaganza. It was a good trip aside from the horrifying snow storm I drove through to get there on Friday. But I digress, I'm sure all of you are on the edge of your seats to hear my first prediction of the Paper Work series. So I'm sitting here (obviously since I have home field advantage I'm not going to hover) and I started thinking about how much people my age, and the generation below me, are texting. This caused me to consider the future, if continuing at the same rate we are going now. So allow me to toss out my perdiction:

In the future people will only text. Cell Phones will become so common and so quick that no one will talk we will only text each other.

things to consider because of this change: movies will revert back to text style dialogue like in 20s silent films. Accents won't exist anymore. The term voice box won't mean something in your throat but rather the term used to identify your cell phone....think about it...

Hire Me - Adam

1)Who is it going to be Brian?

2)I love it when two companies team up to make a product for the greater good

3) so I recently finished my resume and I've been applying to internships for the spring quarter. Life is so complicated you spend all this time being told what you should do for a living. Taking aptitude tests and guidance counselors trying to point you in the right direction. In the end I think we all realize that work sucks they wouldn't call it work if it didn't suck. Choosing a career path is shitty I wish it was just like the old days instead. Back in the mid evil days if pops was a black smith boom guess what I'm going to be. Thats the way it should be if some one told me right from the start of life "ok Adam you are going to heat up metal and smash it with a hammer for your life and thats it" then I could prep myself and get really good at it. Instead all I'm ever told is "you can be whatever you want to be" what do I want to be? Employed. I want a job or to find a box of money. Give people too many choices and life gets harder than its suppose to be. I wish someone just told me "you are a shoe cobbler, oh you don't want to be? too bad get cobbling" this makes my career choice alot easier because lets face it work is work unless you are an actor. now I know what you are thinking "Adam you are definitely hott enough to be a movie star and every knows you are talented enough, so whats holding you back?" ambition. so anyway here is my resume if you want to give me a job I'll show up everyday on time and I'll work hard period.

DVR - Adam

First off my roommates and I were having a discussion I don't want to get into it too much because I hate getting into these debates where no one can say 100% who is right or wrong so I'll just post this and be done with it.


alright so anyway DVR it is incredible. I never watch live TV now unless it is a sporting event let me give you a look into my DVR list

24, Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, Damages, Lost, Glee, Heroes, Burn Notice, Sons of Anarchy, White Collar, Modern Family, Mad Men, So You Think You Can Dance, Men of a Certain Age, Psych, Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia, South Park, Dancing with the Stars, Flash Forward, The Herd, Ren and Stimpy, Parks and Rec, Community

That's all I can think of for the moment. now before you go off on me allow me to remind you that I live with women... If I am missing out on a show that you like let me know I'll add it to my DVR. I am just trying to get my money's worth. DVR is one of the greatest inventions known to man there I said it and I'm not sorry.

The "Least" - Brian

My roommate and I have been having an ongoing arguments, pretty much since we met: Who is better - Cavs or Nuggets? This only applies to the last few seasons (last year and this current season) and of course we both think we like the better team.

I love the Nuggets; he loves the Cavs.

I think my argument carries much more weight than his, so I will go ahead an give you my side of the argument.

I think the Nuggets are better for one main reason - The Nuggets play in the Western Conference and the Cavs play for the "Leastern" Conference. Now the Cavs do have the better overall record; that I will admit (Cavs are 38-11, the Nuggets are 32-15). The Cavs have compiled their record against some weak competition (Wizards, Pistons, and the 4-42 Nets). Just for a point of reference, the West's 11th best team has a better record than the East's 5th best team.

Therefore the Nuggets have been playing harder competition, and still are only 5 games behind the Cavs. Lets not forget to mention that the Nuggets beat the Cavs this season 99-97 (and this was without Melo playing). Both teams made the Conference Finals last season, with both teams losing. The Lakers then proceeded to annihilate the Magic in the Finals.

Put the Cavs in the West and the Nuggets in the East, and I will guarantee the Nuggets would have a better record than the Cavs this season (oh, and did I mention the Nuggets have the best record against teams .500 and better?).

So there it is folks. The Nuggets are better than the Cleveland LeBrons.

Home Sweet Home - Adam

ok well this post is suppose to be about living situations and it will be. First I would like to say how angry I am that on all of youtube I can never seem to find the clip I want. As you can probably tell by my past posts with video clips.

so I've lived with just about every combination of people possible. At the camp I worked at for the summers of 2008 and 2009 I lived with both Men and Women. then the school year of 2008-2009 I lived with all dudes. and lastly and currently I live with just three women.

the co-ed living is fine but I find most of the time it turns into a men verses women kind of situation which is never good.
The sausage fest was alright because we could all watch sports together, just bro out and we didn't share anything it was every man for himself. however living with dudes is terrible for health reasons. none of us eat well, no one cleans the place and after a while the whole house reeks of dude.
Living with all women has its ups and downs like any other situation would. they are very clean which I love. They cook things that I thought you could only purchase at four star restaurants. They love to share too which is probably a bad thing from their perspective because I may take advantage of that kindness more than I should. But on the flip side I listen to alot of talking and I usually don't get to watch sporting events that I would really like to. Or if I do get to watch them its alone in the basement so I feel depressed when I'm jumping up and down yelling "did you see that?" to the empty couch to my right. we have found a middle ground where my roommates will let me watch highlights and pretend to be amazed at the incredible buzzer beater shot for me.

its hard for me to say what situation was the best for me plus I have yet to experience living alone or living with one roommate whether that be male or female (I'm sure I'll get plenty of experience living with one woman once I find the ol ball and chain). The memories of the man cottage are nice and I definitely can't complain about my rooming today because I am very happy with all three of them. however the threes company reference could start a fight about which roommate is which girl. So I'm looking forward to that conversation.
