So the Razorback Game this weekend was awesome.

Girls and their Giant Sunglasses??

What is with those giant sunglasses that girls are now wearing ever. When i see them im usually thinking one of 4 things. 1. AAAHHH giant bugs are hear to attack us. 2. Oh how sad, that girl must not have very good facial features..thus the need to cover them up. 3. Good grief how big of eyes does that girl really have anyway. 4. Do those things come with wind shield wipers?

I'm usually thinking number one. They look so much like bugs that i just want to smack them with giant fly swatters.

You see. Don't you just want to smack that with a fly-swatter? These are like the glasses you wear if you get a black-eye or something and you want to hide it. I just don't get these glasses. That and those eskimo boots i've seen some girls wear in the winter. They are just plane ugly.

The Adventurers of Canada the Robot.

  As our society advances in technology by the day, we students here at Arkansas Tech gain further methods of pioneering new onslaughts of highly advanced, intellectual robotic beings. With our first creation, using all of the technology that we have gained up into this point, we have successfully created one of these robotic beings. Although very unintelligent and wimpy, this robot is after all just our first draft. Here’s how the events unfolded.

Shortly after successfully creating the robot named Canada., it was time for the robot to try out his entourage of accessories which included a shield and a sword, obviously for use in combat situations. Next came the walking and maneuvering ability tests. Canada the Robot might not be the nimblest or quickest of feet, but he makes up for it with sheer determination and a drive to succeed. Now, with all of the training out of the way, it was time for Robot Canada to take to the streets in order to fit in with other humans and aadapt to their lifestyles. We ran into some minor complications with this because our robot had not yet fully adapted to speaking fluent English. Well, really the only thing he could say was, "Beeb, boob, beeeep, wahnnnhhh." Most of the human contact that Robot Canada made ended with him scaring someone, making them laugh hysterically, or provoking them so that they wanted to beat up Robot Canada. We were able to see our robots shields work to perfection in guarding against a pinecone that some lady threw at robot Canada whilst running away. However, Robot Canada’s protection did not withstand with any success, the punishing tackle from some random guy. (probably a linebacker of sorts) Robot Canada got beat up pretty well.

Thusly, so forth, finally, and in conclusion, while it is clear that while we might have the technological advancements to build a robotic being, it is equally clear that our society is not yet ready to be accepting of a robotic being such as Canada in their society. The discrimination that we recorded in our notes towards robot Canada was evidently clear. Which brings me to ponder when and where will this robotic liberation movement will begin. Doesn’t every robot have their day? Are they any different than you and I? I say no, and that they should be treated with the same rights and privileges that we all share. After all, isn’t this a country of freedom? Who’s with me?

Getting Back Up

It's one thing to fall down. I fall down, you fall down, all of the kings men fall down. The question is, are you going to stay down or are you going to get back up? We pride ourselves on being able to take a hit and keep going. We applaud a boxer who will get up off the canvas, or the basketball player who misses his shot, gets the rebound and puts it right back up for the score. I mean, could you imagine Peyton Hillis lying on the turf saying, "You know, the other team knocked me down so i'm just gonna lay here and give up." Well, of course not! We all love that physical toughness. We loved watching Dallas Washington slam some poor kid 3 ft. into the ground on a kickoff return.  But it takes more than just guts to be the man God wants us to be. Especially when it comes to "taking hits" in our lives. Sometimes it's a real struggle for some to bounce right back from some situations. Sometimes people don't bounce back at all. They go on the disabled list not sure if they want to even come back. "It's too hard. It's not worth it. I don't feel like doing it. I can't help myself." At those critical points you can either move forward or hang around in the past. Stay down for the count or pick yourself off of the canvas.

Being a Christian is like a cross-country bike race. Christians who don't focus on the goal are like bikers wondering the country side asking the cows for directions. They stary off of thier path. They hit bumps and get tossed over thier handle bars. They forget thier goal, take thier eys of of the prize and easil give in to the temptations to give up. As a believer your goal, your finish line, is sweeter than anything you have ever imagined. You're heading upward. Toward maturity. Toward heaven. Toward you Lord. So when we get knocked down (Like in Rocky V) we need to here the voice, "Get up, get up, you bum."
