Cargo is the Man

Bad news everyone, the Rockies finally lost. After going 10 games straight, they lost to the San Diego Padres last night. But on the bright side, they're the hottest team in Baseball right now. I know that this has nothing to do with Writing, but every team I root for lost this weekend... Except the Rockies. It was nice to go visit my brother up north of SLC, but we also had to watch as BYU lost to Air Force, FSU lost to Oklahoma (Don't worry, I'm rooting for BYU in the game this weekend), and the Denver Broncos lost to Jacksonville! Just as we were going into chronic depression, we remembered that the Rocks just swept the Padres, the Reds, and the Diamondbacks! So I thought I would start this post by bringing up how amazing Cargo (Carlos Gonzales) has been this year. He's leading in 2 of the 3 categories for the NL triple crown and in high contention for this years MVP. Congrats Cargo, you're the man!
Alright back to semi-related stuff. Last Thursday, Michael, Chris, Melissa, and I went to Malawi's Pizza and fed some Malawi orphans. Or at least I did my half of the deal, and now its up to Malawi's Pizza to feed them. My half of the deal was to eat the best meal I've eaten since the Semester began, then they go feed the orphans in Africa. Now 'the best meal I've eaten' is not saying all that much because 90% of my diet has been popcorn. Regardless, my Chicken Fettuccine was pretty good. Now we're all onto the next step, which is, of course, writing the paper. I'm writing the Intro, Conclusion and editing it all, which is awesome! I love editing stuff! In fact, in High School, I would get the school paper and write endless comments and point out every typo and stuff, then return my "Reader's Comment Issue" back to the newspaper staff in the middle of class. Needless to say, the quality of the Grandview Chronicle increased exponentially.

So I feel its pretty fitting, since the 9 year anniversary of 9/11 was Saturday, to end this post with a little Patriotism. So, GO AMERICA!
