Experience of A Lifetime

Tonight, I watched the movie The Kingdom. This movie was easily the movie that I wanted to see the most this year. For some reason, I felt like it would catch my emotions and pull me in like no other movie.

Good lord…

Here it is, 3:15 in the morning and I still can’t sleep. The movie messed my emotions up. Not like I’m sitting here crying or anything like that. It was unreal. It wasn’t like I was watching the movie. I felt like it was real life, and I was there. It tugged on every emotion that is emotionally possible. It was so realistic. Transformers was a great movie, but I’m not into those movies where “that would never happen”.The Kingdom was unreal. A movie critic some where said that “the last 30 minutes will take your breath away…you will literally have to pry your fingers away from the arm rests to be able to move”.

Words can not do justice to how true this is. When the movie was over, nobody in the theater even got up. People were in shock. Here I am, hours later, and I am still messed up by this movie.

Hm…….

Soccer…Boring? HA!

For those of you who find soccer so boring that you couldn’t watch a game to save your life, maybe you should check out the line from the Reading-Portsmouth game in England today.

I Have Just Been Handed Urgent And Breaking News

My Urgent and Breaking News

Ultimate Morning

Last night, I came out of my bedroom at about one in the morning to throw something away. There was about 7 or 8 people in my living room. One of the, Jordan, was like,”Hey Mo-Fat, we are going to play some Ultimate Frisbee on the campus green. Wanna come?”…

…sure. I’ve never played before, but everyone loves it.

Man, that was freaking intense. It was so much freaking fun.

After we played Ultimate, we just walked around campus. We walked around in a fountain. Brendan, who had on a nice polo shirt and khakis, got up on the ledge of the fountain. This was about the time that he realized how slick the edge of the fountain was. He started to say something, but by the time he did, he had fallen completely into a fountain. It was hilarious.

Next, we met a KSU police officer. Funniest thing that’s ever happened to me. I am not allowed to post anything that he said on this blog, because I would like for it to be at least PG rated. This guy was the funniest person I have ever met , and he said some things you would never expect a cop to say. Jay, you are the man.

By now, it’s 3 in the morning. We all head back to the room. I get to bed at four.

Great night…

or should I say morning?

Moffat’s Gone Bilingual

Every day, I go to Noonday Park and take some shots on the soccer fields….

Well, today, I got in a little shoot out with some Mexican guy…By the way, he had on a sweet jersey. Valencia…nice.

Anyways, he plays goalie, and I prefer forward, so I just took some pk’s on the guy. Little by little, his friends started showing up.

Little by little, I realized that none of them spoke any English.

Pretty soon, there were about 8 of them, all speaking crazy Spanish…Then, there was me. Still speaking English.

Every time I said something, they all just kinda looked at each other. Awkward, but I still handled those Mexicans when it came to futbol…well, kinda.

Mellow Mushroom

After an eventful day in class…

Sarcasm…

About 15 people from my learning community headed over to Mellow Mushroom, a pizza place and chill spot for students right across the street. Most of us walked, but some people drove. This was interesting, because we had to cross Chastain Road, which is one of the busiest streets I’ve ever seen. After waiting for the lights to change so we could get the little white hand to walk, we just decided to go a little farther down the street and jay walk. Well, we got a small break and cars, and without warning, about 5 of us just took off running. It was intense! We were all yelling and sprinting like crazy!

Don’t worry parents…I’m fine.

Well, we finally got to Mellow Mushroom, and it was awesome! Just chilling and hanging out with people from my learning community was so much fun.

The food…Holy crap.

Jake, Wiley, and I split a Bar-B-Q Chicked Pizza. It had cheddar, mozzerella, grilled chicken, barbeque sauce, and bacon on it.

Hands down…best pizza I’ve ever eaten.

The walk back, not so fun. It was a solid mile from Mellow Mushroom to my dorm. It started raining.

Oh well…It was worth it!

Stuck Between A Rock and A Hard Place

A friend and I were talking today just about life in general.

I posed this question, and wanted to know what everyone thought.

“Which is worse, knowing what you want and not being able to have it, or not knowing what you want at all?”

Please leave a response of some kind…..I didn’t post this so that I could read my post over and over.

Marc Bulger

This guy is my fantasy quarterback…

Today, he decided that he forgot what football is…

He also decided that he didn’t know who was on his team, and who wasn’t….

So, he threw for 116, 0 td’s, and 3 picks…

If I was to see him, I would head butt him when he was not looking.

Things Learned Only In Atlanta

Before I begin, I just want you to know that the list of this keeps growing every day…..

1. Traffic lights are terrible here. Around here, most of the traffic lights are timed, not motion sensored here. So, one light could be green for 4 minutes with nobody coming. Meanwhile, the line you are in keeps growing and growing until it is blocking the intersection behind you. It’s a pain.

2. No matter what time of day your are driving, you will not be alone. There is always traffic here. Especially around the school. When I’m driving, I find myself saying,”Geez….what are these people doing? Why are they driving around right now?”……ironic.

3. It seems like lanes will just end at random times. You will be driving alone fine, and the next thing you know your lane will be ending and you are about to run into a curb. Since there is always so much traffic, it is a huge hassle to get over.

4. Chick-fil-A is God among restaurants here. My roommate Brendan works at a Chick-fil-A that just opened right near campus. Apparently, everyone knows that if you are one of the first however many customers at a new Chick-fil-A, you get some thing for like hundreds of free Chick-fil-A meals. Well, when Brendan went up to work the day before it opened, people were camped out. They were sleeping in the parking lot, so they could be the first ones there. Losersssss…..

5. Radio stations play way better music here. Simple as that…

6. The weather has been unreal that past week. No hotter than 75-80, no cooler than 60, and no clouds in the sky. Sweetness.

7. Soccer is played by WAAAAAAAYYYYY more people here in Kennesaw than it is in Memphis. The people that play are GOOOOOOODDDD.

8. People either drive 41 miles an hour over the speed limit, or RIGHT at it. No exceptions.

9. Ultimate Frisbee is one of the most popular sports here.

I’m sure there will be more to add to this list a lot later…

Here I Come Nascar!

Ever since I got my new car, something has constantly happened to me.

If I’m the first person in line at a red light, and if the person beside me is within 10 years of my age, they always seem to try and race me.

I don’t know why….my car is not that fast. I guess because it is such a sexy monster of a car, they seem to try and race…notice I said try.

Today, an Infiniti pulled up beside me at the light. Some punk kid looked over at me with his arm all flexed up on the staring wheel. He gave me that “What’s Up” nod. I reciprocated the head gesture. Then I hear this crappy exhaust on this kid’s car spurt up. It sounded like a giant fart. I looked over at him, and he looked at me, looked at the light, smiled, and nodded his head. I laughed, and nodded. He slowly started edging forward….I started edging forward.

Light turns green. Next thing, I know, he is out of my sight.

Out of sight in my rear view mirror! Ha. I smoked that guy. Sit down Infiniti.

Don’t worry Dad. I reached 50 (limit was 45) and hit the cruise control.

Can’t be getting another ticket!

P.S. Although that kiiiinda looks like my car, it’s not. I did take that picture though!
