Back in Orange Country!

Ride, ride, ride, ride, Ride Em' Cowboys right down the field

Fight, fight, fight, fight, Fight Em' Cowboys and never yield

Ride, ride, ride, ride, Ride Em' Cowboys to victory

Cross K-State's goal, and we'll sing Oklahoma State!

That's right everybody, I'm back in the home of red dirt music, the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, the original Sonic, Eskimo Joe's, and most importantly, the Block Built on Rowdy, the Brightest Brand in the Land, home of America's Brightest Orange, THE OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY!

Yeah I love my school, got a problem with that? Wanna fight about it? Ok cool whatever.

Soooooo I've been back for a while now but I'm just now getting around to writing this. What? Its been a busy 6 weeks.  Lay off.  

So I've got some catching up to do now.  So let's layout a plan here: Philmont, coming home, school, sports, and miscellaneous. Hold me to that now, mkay? Good.

PHILMONT

So this summer was absolutely fantastic.  As you know from my last blog post, I spent my summer working in New Mexico at Philmont Scout Ranch, dressing and living as a homesteader in the year 1907.  Living that way is a blast and so refreshing as a result of shedding the modern amenities that cloud our view of the world and of life.  The people I lived and worked with this summer have become some of my best friends and I would go to the ends of the Earth for them. It was so hard to say goodbye to the land I love and the people I love.  But alas, I had to come home.

HOME

After a short 3 hour drive, I made it to the Panhandle: the start of my drive through the state I love, the state I was born and raised in, the great state of OklaHOMEa.  Though the drive may be a little boring at times but there's nothing more beautiful than the red-orange sun beginning to slide down below the horizon.  Then the clouds rolled in and kissed me goodbye with one last great rainstorm in the final hour of my drive back in.  And bam, I get to see the Tower Wentz, proud and tall.  What a welcome.

SCHOOL

School.  It started.  Its boring. What else to say?

SPORTS

Football season has started, got our Big 12 home opener this weekend.  Playing K-State, camping out for the game with the Paddle People.  Oh yeah, joined the Paddle People.  First row seats, every game, painted up with my best buddies.  Soccer is fun to go to, we heckle the opposing team's goalie.  WVU's goalie was awesome and a good sport about it.  Tech's goalie apparently just completely ignored it all and one of their fans threw a fit about it.  I can't wait for basketball to start.  It can't get here soon enough.

MISCELLANEOUS

So I'm just making my way along right now.  Going through physical therapy to fix up my knee pain has been getting worse.  The electro therapy treatment has gotten tougher and my IT band is now almost always sore.  It'll get better I hope, sooner rather than later.

Well this will wrap up my wrap up of the last several months.  Right now, I gotta get ready for RHA Senate tonight and then for the campout at the stadium.  Good day my friends.

Good night, good luck, and God bless Pistol Pete and OSU.

Go Pokes.
