I'm back to Loyola, first time in four-and half-months, and it feels more like home than home itself. I ate Wendy's, I played a pick up basketball game at Boy's Latin, and I was not honored at the Intramural banquet, even though I wrote a phenomenal article on it. Frankly I'm disappointed, Eric I'm talking to you.
My parents greeted me at the airport, camera in hand, capturing my jet-lagged foolishness. I have tried to do every Jersey thing you can think of, I've bought pizza (not as good as Roma), started talking gangsta', consumed a few sub sandwiches, ate a nice juicy steak, cut people off while driving, disappointedly watched the Mets blow a game to the Phillies, and thankfully have not gelled my hair.
I slept until two p.m. on Monday, I still don't have a job or internship, and at this rate I'm going to be living at home until I'm 30 years old. In fact I fully expect it.
I now am able to watch sporting events; I have been home since Sunday and have stared at ESPN for the last four days. I have not seen Kenny Mayne yet, it upsets me.
Since I have been gone Darryl Strawberry of all people has joined the Sports New York booth, and the infamous Harold Reynolds is now a part of the SNY crew as well. The New Jersey Nets are still playing at the Meadowlands; and the Baltimore Orioles were in first place when my plane landed.
The night of my return to the USA none of my friends were near me, I stumbled upon the freshman facebook for the class of 2009, noticing my friends, enemies, people I have met recently, and the unfortunately few that I never met at Reefers.
It was a nostalgic trip; I went on to look at my past yearbooks and grew upset. I'm done with classes, technically I'm considered a senior, and I'm supposed to be career oriented. The real world is one year away and I'm terrified, as is 90 percent of the rest of the class of 2009, I hope.
While jobs and internships breathe down our necks, I pass the time by thinking about Luis Castillo hitting in the "two-hole" for the Mets. I am enraptured with Lute Olson recapturing his job with the THE University of Arizona Wildcats. The Buffalo Bills selected Leodis McKelvin from Troy State University with the 11th pick in the NFL draft, a classic example of a great combine leading to a high draft pick. I am sure Leodis has been tested plenty of times by the phenomenal receivers of the Sun Belt conference.
