Today I found out that two of my favorite rappers are going to be in Spokane on May 22nd. Tech N9ne and Krizz Kaliko. I have personally been to the last three shows that they have performed in Spokane. I have been listening to these guys and other artists from their label, Strange Music, for about six or so years and they have always just had a style that is so amazing to me. The concerts are so much fun to attend; the only bad thing about the show is the sadness when it’s all over. The energy they have on stage and how much they care about their fans is unrivaled, especially the fans in this area that come to Spokane to see them when they drop by from Kansas City, Missouri. I will elaborate more on that tomorrow. The first picture is from the concert just last fall, the second is of tech n9ne, and the last one is me and Krizz Kaliko (the white around his eyes is from a disease called vitiligo which causes the skin to lose its pigment)

I let my dog out today cause he had to go to the bathroom. So as I am waiting by the door for him to go I see that he is peeing on his own foot. He stopped in mid stride and when he lifted his leg, he started peeing right behind and on his front right paw. I wonder about my dog sometimes, he runs head on into walls, he got lost in my backyard (which is very small by the way) and he is scared of just about everything. Now he is about 115 pounds I would say, and he has a big bark, and is maybe the biggest chicken I have ever seen. He is one entertaining dog though. Oh, and I forgot, he likes to move his eyebrows when you talk to him. Due to that my mom decided to paint his eyebrows with mascara to see how much they move.

-Row, row, row your boat, sneaking up the stream. Lock and load in tactic mode United States Marine.- I have had that stuck in my head all day. I must say that this is a pretty catchy little tune. This week is going to be the longest week of my life. The super bowl is this Sunday and I am more than stoked to see it. If my Seahawks win it then 2014 will pretty much be made for me already. The anticipation of this game is probably going to kill me. After seeing media day today I am even more excited for it, although once the game is over, win or lose, the depression of waiting for football season sets in once again.

I had an interesting debate about Sasquatch today. One of my friends firmly believes that there is no such thing as Sasquatch, while another and I do believe in it. Now for the most part I played devil’s advocate for both of them. Basically I would take one side then switch and switch and switch. Especially when my buddy that believed in Sasquatch stated that Sasquatch DNA had been found and confirmed, I argued against him because his argument really didn’t hold a lot of water. I really would like to believe in Sasquatch because why not? It is just such an intriguing thing to believe in and it would be so cool for something like that to really exist.

I woke up at eight o'clock this morning when my alarm was set for 6:30. I had a math class at 8:30 and literally got ready to go in less than 5 minutes and got to campus from my house across town in about another 5. When I sat down in class it was 8:15 and I ended up being early. I probably could have eaten breakfast before I left and I would have been okay, but oh well. It is definitely a crappy day today for me that is for sure.

Today I listened to a lecture about the Kennewick man. Which is one of the oldest human skeletons that was found over near the tri-cities in Washington. Apparently the man was a copper smith which was strange because he was much older than we thought that copper was being used by primitive humans. He was also believed to have been murdered. He had a spearpoint stuck in his ribs and a broken hip which the experts apparently believe that he lived with for many years before his death by spear. It’s a cool story to hear about seeing as it was pretty close to home.

Today I went to my philosophy class at 3:30 after spending about three hours in the polya lab. I walked all the way up to the admin building and hiked up to the third floor and waited for the previous class to finish. I proceeded to sit down in my class about ten minutes early and wait. Other people began to file in and sit down and we all waited quietly for the instructor to show up. 3:30 passed by and at about 3:45 someone piped up saying, “class is canceled, I just got an email from the teacher.” I could have gone home at 12:30…….

I came home from classes today and was actually rather surprised. Normally when I come home from class I am greeted by barley, a very excited one hundred-plus pound yellow lab moving at close to supersonic speed ramming into me. I went to see if he was in the backyard, and he was nowhere to be found. Upon further investigation I found him lying in my sister’s bed on his back and his head on the pillow, dead asleep. I said his name and freaked him out enough for him to fly off the bed and onto the floor. He then proceeded to ram into my legs at full speed to greet me.

Well after the exciting weekend I had at my house I am happy to say that my Seattle Seahawks are headed to Super Bowl XLVIII! It has been a while now since Seattle has been to a Super Bowl, the last one was the 2005-2006 team that actually had the same record at thirteen wins and three losses and took the same route in the playoffs as the number one seed in the NFC with home-field advantage. It’s an exciting and surreal feeling to see my lifelong favorite team on the biggest stage in professional sports! Now I have to wait for two weeks to see if they can finish this dream season and bring the first Lombardi Trophy back to the great northwest! Go Hawks!
