LaFollette Weekend...

Well it's been a while since I've checked in with everyone. A lot of things have happened in the past couple weeks. In my own personal life I auditioned for Cumberland Idol and made it. I got to the first week and sang with my duet partner, Darcy. I have to say even though I was eliminated by the judges I really enjoyed being able to sing for my fellow student body along with a very talented young lady whom I enjoyed every moment singing with. Darcy is still in the competition along with quite a few of my friend still. I made some new friends as well through Idol. I'm looking forward to seeing and hearing the remaining contestants on this season of Cumberland Idol

I'm also doing the spring production of Thornton Wilder's Our Town at school. I'm playing the father of the male lead, Doc Gibbs. I'm convinced that his real name isn't Frank Gibbs but Leroy Jethro Gibbs haha. It's a majority young cast with some of us Cumberland Veterans thrown in. I'm enjoying seeing some of the new blood, so to say, come in and take part in the plays at school. I can see each of them continuing on when I'm gone this semester and I look forward to coming back and seeing them grow as performers.

In the wrestling realm of things we've seen the return of Big Daddy Cool Diesel and Booker T to the world of the 'E'. Booker T taking part in the commentary booth on the Smackdown side. Not sure what plans they have for Nash but I'm sure it'll be something good. Being an old school wrestling fan it's great seeing the guys I grew up watching still wrestling and being just as entertaining as they were in the 90's. Also the big buzz around the internet is the date of 2/21/11. A lot of people are speculating that Sting is headed to WWE. I'm still convinced that it was just a video package promoting the return of the Undertaker to begin building his next WrestleMania feud. Now don't get me wrong, if Sting did show up on WWE I'd be all for it. But until I see that with my own two eyes I'm going with the return of the Deadman on the 21st of this month.

Tomorrow is the Super Bowl and I'm totally rooting for the Green Bay Packers. Why is this? Well first I don't like the Steelers BECAUSE of my team of preference, The Cincinnati Bengals. Second I'm looking forward to seeing how Aaron Rodgers fairs in his first Super Bowl appearance and would love to see them bring home a Super Bowl Championship. I'm hoping for a great game! SGA (Student Government Association) will be hosting a Super Bowl party on campus tomorrow so that's how I plan to watch and enjoy the biggest game in Football. It's the WrestleMania of Football if you will lol

With as busy as I've been I've not been blogging as much as I've wanted to so far this year but I'm still keeping my hopes that I'll be posting more as the year progresses. So with that being said I'm going to go rest and continue to recuperate from this cold that I have. Needs lost of rest and liquids. Peace out Russellmaniacs!
