Wow....posting after ONLY 3 days...I think that's a record

This might be a first for me in awhile. I'm actually putting up a post that isn't after a week or two has passed...lol...So today I have been somewhat successful. I got up around 11ish. I woke up with a headache which was not fun. I had to fix my bike. A long story short, there was a screw hitting the back tire so I had to take the tire off to tighten the screw, go to the hardware store to get some thing to unsrew the breaks so I could take the tire off and had to buy a nut and a washer. I was able to tighten the screw and put the tire back on. Now the only problem is that it doesn't seem like the bike is shifting correctly, but I will leave that for the bike store when I go home on wednesday. I don't want to mess my bike up anymore than it is because I don't know all that much when it comes to fixing bikes.

So yesterday I went to the OSU vs Michigan game. Let me tell you, it was AMAZING!!!!.....Ok, here is the story about yesterday. I woke up around 9:30ish and got to campus around 10ish. I was looking around for scalpers and at first wasn't having much luck. Then I decided to wait by Woodruff and the the entrance pathway to the stadium. I found a scalper or rather the group of scalpers. The one guy had two and I said all I have was $220, and he was like "have a nice day" and that was that. So then I was standing next to the bushes and there was this guy named Ty who had bought tickets from a scalper for $600 a piece. I was like "I'll buy one for $220 and he said no, but we were still talking. He said to me that if he didn't sell the tickets (because he was trying to get better seats even though they were in A deck on the open end) we would go in together and sit there. Well he ended up selling the tickets. So then I was standing around holding up one finger trying to see if anyone would sell me their ticket. I had been standing there for awhile and I decided to call Patty to see if her parents were still going to the game....while I was on the phone with Patty a guy or rather a student came up to me and asked me if I needed a ticket. And I was like ya. He asked me if I had a student ID and I said ya. He didn't even ask me how much I would buy the ticket for...all he said was "do you want the ticket for $200"....I was like ya. He said that he couldn't upgrade it or he didn't have time to....so that is why he sold it. So I got the ticket and I was waiting around for Ty. Ty and I had made a deal that If he got two more tickets we would just go in together and then I would sell my ticket and give him a little bit of money. When he game back he still didn't have two tickets so I told him that I was going to go home and put some warmer clothes on. When I came back, he had bought two falcuity/staff tickets. The guy that he bought them from said that you wouldn't need an ID to get in, but I knew that you would. Ty wasy going to try to sell these tickets yet agian....I think because he thought he could still get better ones..idk...so he was going to sell them for $1000 for the pair to these two guys. He said that he would walk up to the gate with the guys just to make sure that they didnt' need an ID. Well I was right in the end because they needed an ID to get in. So Ty sold the two tickets to a scalper and lost some money on it....Durring this time I had people offering me like $300-$400 for my ticket. Everytime I was like I'm not sure that I'm selling because I really want to go to the game. Ty ened up not being able to get two tickets so I went to the game.....I had a great time. It wasn't until later that evening after I told Micki my scalping stroy and how much that I was offered that I realized I should have sold my ticket when the one person offered me $400 for it because I could have used the money to pay off my creidt car. Ya I'm kicking myself for not selling the ticket, but at the same time I'm glad that I went to the game.

Later that evening Micki and I went to Wall Street because it was traffic jam. We stayed until about 12:15ish and then came home and went to bed

I just realized that the steelers are playing and right now they are losing 10-0 to the BROWNS of all teams. So I'm off to watch the game....until next time...ttyl
