Why Butler Lost
I will now explain why Butler lost in their SECOND NCAA Championship appearance in two years. There are 5 reasons in my estimation.
1: Shelvin Mack choked.
2: Matt Howard failed.
3: Gordan Hayward never showed up.
4: Willie Veasly tanked.
5: Ronald Norad was awful.
...and those are my 5 main points.

The Bird
As I stated before, I am blogging about several topics (If you don't know what they are, you can find the list here: http://jericksond.blogspot.com/2011/01/tj-houshmandzadeh-just-lost-game-sad.html)
Life has a way of making me feel like a tiny being. Not very powerful and just downright weak at times. It happened in Iraq when rockets were coming over the burm and people got blown up. It happened again in Djibouti when I was sent to work with a village of people with no school, hospital, or water and realized I couldn't really do much to help them. It is also happening right now. I am realizing that my Faith is more important than I thought.
We all believe in something. Some believe the point of life is to live. Others believe we are alive to seek the truth and yet others believe life is a cyclical process and that when we die, we simply return in another form to try the whole thing again. I personally believe that we live because we were created by a loving God that wanted us to find joy and redemption through grace. The point of life is to bring joy to that Creator by giving back to him.
The New Testament states that if God takes care of the sparrows, we are silly to think he won't take care of us.It also states that if Jesus Christ died in our place, how crazy is it to think that he would refuse to take care of us each day? Now, I'm not the kind of person that pretends that if you love God, everything will be good and that nothing upsetting will happen. That is pretty much not true at all. However, I am the guy that says, "It is AWESOME that I am not a bird." Seriously, how cool is that?! Birds can't talk. They eat worms, they fly into glass and die, they live in tiny tree homes, and they are often attacked by cats. That would be a crappy way to go.
I'm a human person and since I believe the Bible to be true, I can believe that God loves me and cares about my life. Thats an awesome thought. Seriously, I'm pumped that I'm not a bird! Ask yourself, is life about me, or is there a greater plan going on here? You might be surprised at the answers you find.

10 Things Everyone Should Know
Hello My Beautiful Blogging Aficionados!
We are going to be spending some more time together I think. Why, just yesterday I was chatting with a man who was 14 pay grades higher than I and informed him he was going in my blog. Aaaaaand, done.
10 Things You Should Know
1: If it doesn't have a mother, don't lose sleep over it. (Don't sweat the small stuff)
2: Being able to live the sleep deprived life has 5 rules. They are called the "5 Rules of Sleep Deprivation"
3: If you spill straight club soda on you, try putting red wine on it to get it out.
4: Cats that make noise should be dead. The quite ones are cool.
5: If stretching was as sexy as surfing, we would all be as flexible as silly puddy.
6: I'm totally ready to be out of Africa.
7: I watched a dude stab a pig today. It was gross, sad, and weird. Also, a little yummy.
8: I just heard a grown man say that he was peeing blood. He was pummeled by several angry Marines. Note to self, don't let angry Marines catch you.
9: Good leaders don't so much tell you what to do, as much as make you want to do it.
10. I'm done.
