And God Created Maryland

I love my alma mater! The first time I ran to a bonfire (2000, football win). I put on make up. And we were a little late. But it was awesome. The last time I ran to Route 1 ('03, backetball) BET's Hits was there taping, talking about the crazy white kids. It's tradition. A new one, but a fun one. But let's all be real; it's not a riot. Riots are angry. Terps do this for wins. Riots are violent. This, not so much. Clumsy, yes, but not violent. It's all fun as long as no one gets hurt. And if you get hurt, honestly, you were probably stupid and in the way. #imjustsaying :o) Have Fun Terps!! I sure know I did!

Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Maryland!

I'm so ready for March Madness!

And because it's ever so fitting, here's a joke my mom sent me today:

And God Created Maryland
God was missing for six days. Eventually, Michael, the archangel, found him, resting on the seventh day.
He inquired, "Where have you been?"
God smiled deeply and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, "Look, Michael. Look what I've made."
Archangel Michael looked puzzled, and said, "What is it?"
"It's a planet," replied God, and I've put life on it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a place to test Balance."
"Balance?" inquired Michael, "I'm still confused."
God explained, pointing to different parts of Earth, "For example, northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth, while southern Europe is going to be poor. Over here I've placed a continent of white people, and over there is a continent of black people. Balance in all things.
God continued pointing to different countries. "This one will be extremely hot, while this one will be very cold and covered in ice."
The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a land area and said, "What's that one?"
"That's Maryland, the most glorious place on earth. There are beautiful mountains, rivers and streams, lakes, forests, hills, and plains. The people from Maryland are going to be handsome, modest, intelligent, and humorous, and they are going to travel the world. They will be extremely sociable, hardworking, high achieving, carriers of peace, and producers of good things."
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration, but then asked, "But what about balance, God? You said there would be balance..."
God smiled, "Right next to Maryland is Washington, DC. Wait till you see the idiots I put there."
