Foreign isn’t always good.
This past weekend I was feeling very adventurous and decided to try something new by going to a different hair salon. Something new and fresh! (Let’s face it, I’m a total dweeb). Let me first describe my hair. It at times resembles Hagrid’s from Harry Potter. So, I only asked to get two inches cut off of my ‘fro. Keepin’ it safe, right?

The second weekend of the NCAA tournament gave us a great slate of games. Every single one of the 12 games was entertaining in its own way. There are now just four teams that are left: Kentucky, Louisville, Ohio State, and Kansas. There are no more mid majors left in the field. Just the big boys. The four teams have combined for 49 final four appearances. That’s a ridiculous number.
Before we look ahead to this weekend, let’s look back at this past weekend and what we learned:
First things first here’s a video (with captions below) of the conversation between my dad and I when I told him I had Missouri in the final four;
“Yeah I had picked Mizzou in the final four…”
“I didnt know you had.”

By now, you are probably in the same position as I am. In other words, your bracket probably has been busted.
I had a very good opening session on Thursday. I only missed one game. But then, I started missing left and right. South Dakota State lost to Baylor. VCU beat Wichita State. UNLV lost to Colorado. And so on and so forth.
I don’t want my bracketing mishaps to take away from a very good first weekend of games. Friday was particularly crazy, with two 15 or 2 seed upsets.
LOVE
1) “Computer Lab” days
2) Project X. Although I don’t see how I can ever have fun again after watching that movie…
HATE
1) Synching your ipod/ iphone
2) Hearing threads break when you put on clothes
