Now you will receive us. We do not ask for your poor, or your hungry. We do not want your tired and sick. It is your corrupt we claim. It is your evil that will be sought by us. With every breath, we shall hunt them down. Each day we will spill their blood, 'til it rains down from the skies. Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are not polite suggestions, these are codes of behavior, and those of you that ignore them will pay the dearest cost. There are varying degrees of evil. We urge you lesser forms of filth, not to push the bounds and cross over, in to true corruption, into our domain. For if you do, one day you will look behind you and you will see we three, and on that day you will reap it. And we will send you to whatever god you wish.

I really dislike the bookstore. I have a computer science class, and we are required to have a certain book. I took three trips to the bookstore, and each time they told me that they didn't have the book that I needed. I continued to go to the HUB bookstore and the Got Used bookstore, neither of which had the book I need. I decided to email one of the other students in the class to find out what she did about getting the book. Coincidentally, this student works for the bookstore downtown. She talked to her manager, who decided to check storage. In storage were twenty more copies of the book I needed. I now have to make a fourth trip downtown. This wouldn't be a problem in a normal situation, but this is definitely not a normal situation. Living in East, it is a good 15 minute walk to get downtown, and I am lazy.

My Narrative
I kept pushing. I wasn’t going to let a small injury hold me back from the one thing that would make my “childhood years” complete. It was the championship game for my soccer team, and we were tied with just minutes left on the clock.
I started playing soccer at the early age of five. It had been a passion of mine for quite some time, and seeing as how it was my last year of high school, and my last chance to play with “my team,” I wanted it to be a successful year. We had been so close every year, but we were never able to win the big one. Agonizing defeats in the championships in years past made this year that much more important to me. It was the last year my team would be together, and I was going to make sure it counted. Throughout the season, I had been one of the leaders of my team, not only through play, but through voice. I lost my voice practically every game from trying to energize my team to keep pushing, regardless of the importance of the game.
The entire season was a great one for our team, and we had made it to the championship game, when the worst thing that could possibly happen to me happened. I was fighting for the ball, using all of my ability, when I felt a sharp pain shoot up my leg, as if an explosive had been set off. It was the worst pain I had ever felt, and I didn’t know what to think. Here we were in the biggest game of the season, and I could barely put pressure on my right leg. As I lay on the ground, I heard several of my teammates encouraging me to keep going. They turned into the leaders of the team at that point, and I knew what I had to do. I kept pushing. I wasn’t going to let a small injury hold me back from the one thing that would make my “childhood years” complete. It was the championship game for my soccer team, and we were tied with just minutes left on the clock.
After a minute or two of back and forth action, we were down to the last minute of our season. I was not going to let my season end on a bad note. The ball was cleared out to me and I had some space to work with. I charged up the sidelines with the burn of sweat in my eyes and one leg filled with jello. I rushed past one defender and then split two more. I realized that I had a clear run at the net. I could hear all of my teammates and our fans cheering me on. This was the moment I had been waiting for my entire life. With all of the energy I had left in my body, I unloaded on the ball. My team won the game two to one. I left the field with a championship trophy and no voice.

When I was sitting down to think about what to write for my first WikiBlog, I figured I should write about what I am most passionate about. Without a doubt, my passion (especially during the fall) is football. Seeing as how I am from outside of Philly, I am a die-hard Eagles fan, and I cannot wait until the season starts. The Eagles will be the best team in the NFC this year, and once again contend for a Super Bowl championship. Many people, especially those un-educated Steelers fans, might say "without T.O. the Eagles have nothing." This, however, is not the case. First of all, they have a solid running back in Brian Westbrook, who performed exceptionally last year without the aid of one of the top fullbacks in the league, John Ritchie. Anybody that can perform behind the ABSOLUTE WORST player in the league, Josh Parry, can be successful in any situation. Second of all, the Eagles have a solid, young receiving core in Greg Lewis, Billy McMullen, and Reggie Brown, not to mention a solid upcoming tight end in L.J. Smith. In addition to a great offense, the Eagles have one of the top defenses in the league, and will continue to succeed. If all of these reasons weren't good enough for you, there is one more reason that the Eagles will contend for a Super Bowl again this year-Donovan McNabb. He has led the best of the Eagles (T.O. and Brian Westbrook) and the worst of the Eagles (James Thrash and Todd Pinkston) deep into the playoffs, and he will not let a minor mishap with another teammate hold him back. I have one thing left to say...E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!
I would like to take this time to apologize in advance to anybody that I offend over the course of the year. Everything I say is all in good fun, and I am looking forward to a great season and semester.

I am flattered when other people want to use my work or my help, so if anybody needs help at any point in the year, please let me know. I can't guarantee that I will be a big help because I am obviously on the same level as everybody else, but feel free to ask.
