School is here :(

Well summer just blew by and school is back once again. It isnt all that bad. I only had a little class today, but it worked out well for me. I worked after my last class was finished. It was pretty busy at work. Well this past weekend was the last real chance to relax before school arrived. There were parties here both nights so I didn't really get to relax all that much. My dad and older brother decided to come and visit me on sunday. We went out and took the Leinenkugel brewery tour. The tour was pretty lackluster, and my family and I agreed that Leinie's was trying to act like they were better than any other beer company. Someone on the tour asked when Miller bought Leinenkugel's, the snappy reply from the tour guide was that Miller never bought them they merged together. From my point of view it would seem like they would be one and the same. Miller would own and control the brewery, they would just have Leines make theirr own beer. I guess it was just a bad attitude by the people on the tour. Oh well not much that I can do about that. My family wanted to know what there was to see in Eau Claire, and as far as I know there really isnt all that much. We went through carson park and saw the Hank Aaron monument, and then we went downtown where there was absolutely nothing going on. I had to work that evening so we had dinner and then they left. That was really all that there was on sunday. Monday was not much of anyhitng. I worked and had the hope that we would have the gallon challenge when I got home, but of course knowing my roommates they were already wasted. So once again the gallon challenege is on hold.
I have been looking a lot into the prep sports in Minnesota. There is a prospect playing football for my high school that seems to be unstoppable on both sides of the ball. The team is ranked #6 in their level, but there are 3 teams in the conference in the top 10 so it might be a tough year. Today I saw an article about my high school's soccer team, which in the past 4 years has been second in state 3 times and 3rd in state once. The article was pretty pointless, they said that the team needed to make a name for itself again, even though it never had one before. I dont know the article was kind of wrong in my opinion. It said that the top 3 players from last year were back, but the all state honorable mention left and I think he would have been one of the top 3. I know this is kind of a cute thing to say, but my brother left and between the two of them they were the core of the defense. Not to mention the anchor of the defense the goalie who also graduated. The kids that are there now dont really have the people to replace the big holes that were in the defense, but i guess they could prove me wrong.
Thats about enough about high school sports for now, although I have no doubt that there will be more mentions of it in my blog at one point or another. Its about time to wrap this up which means my version of the big finish for you pardon the interruption fans.
Song of the Night: Free Bird----Lynyrd Skynyrd, this song was beggint to be used. The last two times i was in my car is was playing. It was kind of weird. The song is pretty long but has some great guitar work from one of the best souther rock bands of all time.
Movie of the day: Jaws, it was on today when I got home from work. It is a classic. Not much I can really say. It scared many people away from going into the water. I know I was scared back when I was younger and had seen part of this movie. It is ranked #83 on IMDB's top 250 list. Worth seeing for anyone who hasnt seen it. Worth seeing again for anyone who has seen it. Enough said.
Thats all for now folks!
