We fear evil, for the Lord is not with us

They say we are given to experience God’s will only in very small ways. Well, dude, I ain’t feeling it at all. I’m pretty sure, in fact, that the will of God is entirely absent from my Henle home. No, I have not found Jesus, and I doubt he would dare set foot in my apartment, for the good Lord would shudder at the crime against nature that is Georgetown’s housing arrangements.

Not as mad

It is a sad day for Georgetown and for Georgetown basketball fans when almost every college basketball team in the country holds Midnight Madness except us. That day came last Friday night/early Saturday morning for the Hoyas, as most other NCAA Division I teams kicked off their seasons in celebration, bringing fans, ex-players and coaches together to show off their talents and get geared up for an exciting year of college hoops.

Fantasy X

Behind college dorm room doors and across the suburban wasteland of America, physically inadequate, nearsighted sports-geeks gulp Surge late into the night, filling their heads with arcane statistics, squinting their washed-out faces in the pale blue glow of computer monitors tuned to ESPN.

Most likely to secede

Last spring, I was abroad in Santiago, Chile, and while I was there I dated a television producer. He was then working on a WWF-style wrestling show, the first of its kind to air in Chile. One night, during a pretty intense argument, he told me that as a television producer surrounded by beautiful people, he had options?he could date girls 10 times better looking than I was.
