Youll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here and now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Dont give away the end
The one thing that stays mine...
The world according to a Mexigue..or a Portumex. Or a "fine Indian brotha" according to crazy homeless man that wandered into Blondies Pizza.

In case this IM chain didn't come your way:
Wear a California t shirt/sweatshirt/sweater.. whatever on Thursday Dec. 9, 2004 to show your support for the NUMBER 4 TEAM IN THE NATION and our dissent for the Beyond Corrupt System.Pass it on to ALL CAL STDUENTS! If we get the majority of campus wearing Cal shirts we'll at least prove our unity and show Tedford and the rest of the team that we are damn proud of them.
and from The Facebook:
Subject: protest the BCS Wed 12 noon SPROUL
Message:In true Berkeley tradition we are organizing a protest! Bring signs, noisemakers, and all the Cal Paraphernalia you can get your hands on! The event will go from 12noon till the BCS wises up and gives Cal what it deserves. Please pass this on to fellow Golden Bear Backers!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
How funny would that be? My first (and only protest) at Cal, and it would be not about saving the one-eyed green backed horny toad but about football.
Well, at the very least I will wear my California sweathshirt on Thursday....
...and I'm actually starting to look forward to another winter break trip to beautiful SD.
...someone force me to write my term paper and stop bothering with this mess.

..Happy Freakin Holidays:
l p r o f e i t: i actually cried
Nap98: aww
Nap98: were the tears blue and gold?
l p r o f e i t: unfortunately, they were just regular tears
l p r o f e i t: i just cried about football
l p r o f e i t: that's impressive
Nap98: its okay, go seek comfort at the JT alter
Holiday Bowl. All right, no Roses. This hurts. Bad.
More than the Kerry loss. Just kidding.
...wait, no. I'm not. (Yes, my priorities are screwed up)
Cal got shafted, BIG time. We've won 10(!) games, and our only loss was to the number one team in the country at THEIR home, and by only a touch down. We're #4 in the country according to both human polls, but we're locked out of all four of the championship bowls.
Why?
Because of weird BCS computer formulas and contractual obligations that bumped us out and Texas into the Rose Bowl.
Because the Texas coach whined his way out of the position we are now in and pleaded for people to vote his team ahead of Cal.
Because our Coach Tedford showed some class by not stooping to that level, and also by not running up the score last night at Southern Miss (he had QB Aaron Rodgers kneel and let the clock run down when we could've scored at the end of the game). Tedford is, a god.
Because a score of 26-16 isn't enough to defeat the East Coast Bias of college sports.
Because sometimes, shit happens. Especially, it seems, to the Pac10 and to Cal.
Meanwhile, less than stellar teams ranked lower than us like Utah (#6), Virginia Tech (#8), Michigan (#13) and even lowly Pittsburgh (#21) get bids to the major bowls because of contractual obligations. Yeah, that's right. Out of the 8 teams playing in the four BCS bowls, half are ranked lower than us. Five if you count Texas, which remains lower than us in the AP polls. How special.
I just hope Cal doesn't have to wait another 40 something years to get into the Rose Bowl. Word is within 10 days we'll have a stadium and Tedford contract announcement . Only good news from that department could take some of the sting off of this terrible turn of events. It would mean that Coach Tedford stays, and that Cal will have plenty more oppurtunities to go to the Rose Bowl, or the National Championship.
So it looks like December 30th, I'll be in San Diego at the Holiday Bowl. I'll make the most of it and have a fun time with my friends down there. It'll probably be our last road trip together, our last chance to root for Cal as students together. I'll cheer my heart out for one of Cal's best teamsand one of the best in the country to smash Texas Tech.
The BCS can take the Rose Bowl away, but that damn system can't take away the magic that was the season of 2004.
Go Bears!

Allow me to take a moment....
To welcome Peyton J. Sias (PJ!) to the world, and to my wacky family. The 10th cousin! And finally, a guarantee that the Sias name will survive another generation. We've waited 14 years for him, and I can't wait to meet him.
I'll be a lot nicer to PJ than his dad was to me!
The annual Christmas cousin staircase picture is going to have a new body for the first time in 14 years! Woohoo!
now...back to writing my paper. (yeah right)
