I graduated from college with a BS in chemistry in May of 2007, and it has been all downhill from there (okay not really...I get a nice paycheck once a month and don't have to pull my hair out over lab reports, papers, and exams like I did back in college for free). In between getting used to the normal Monday-Friday 8-5 grind as a chemist, I enjoy spending my time watching sports at all levels: professional, college, and high school, either in person or on television. As an opinionated person (correction: VERY opinionated), I have maintained a sports blog of some type for three years, covering the sports I love, specifically the NFL, college football, MLB, college basketball, and last but certainly not least, NASCAR.

After "picking" the Cowboys and Braves to be my favorite teams as a child growing up in the carefree days of the 90s, probably largely in part because they were good year in and out at the time, I've been suffering through some lean years. Dallas hasn't won a playoff game in 12 years (I still remember that dominating victory over Minnesota), while I had to sit and suffer through a 90-loss season by the Braves in 2008. Making matters worse, two hated rivals, the Phillies and Giants, are currently on top of their respective sport's world. So if I appear testy at times, you'll know the reason why lol. Hey it could be worse: at least I'm not a Cubs fan.

I never played competitive sports growing up, so it is probably somewhat surprising that they take up 90% of my time in some shape or form outside of work. But there is something about the competition that draws me in closer with each and every passing day. And there is no greater escape after a rough day or week than kicking back and watching the game or race.

Feel free to drop by and read my periodic ramblings, opinions, and ideas. You won't regret taking the time to do so, and I would greatly appreciate it. I have a habit of complaining a lot in my articles, so please don't take it the wrong way. I'm just a 23-year old that bypassed healthy adulthood straight for old age hahaha.
