I guess that everyone can figure out now what really gets me motivated to the point that I update my blog on a regular basis (perhaps to regular for someone with a real life). It must be the NFL draft. In continuing with my constant babbling and bragging of how UVA made out in the draft I have this tidbit for you:According to Charles Robinson at Yahoo Sports in a post-draft report card, the

Thanks to the constant sports tracking of my good friend DV, I now have a few updates on the UVA football situation. DV just reminded me that today:1) Marquis Weeks - S - signed as free agent with Seattle Seahawks2) Dennis Haley - LB - signed as free agent with New York JetsIn addition, The Sabre also reports that:-Isaiah Ekejiuba (LB) and Jermaine Hardy (S) have joined Elton Brown and Darryl

Syracuse out in the First Round!!Kansas Too!!Wake goes in the Second Round!!UConn joins them!Oklahoma as well!!!These are just a few of my frustrations with the NCAA Tourney Bracket. While I deeply enjoy March/ April Madness, I can't help but be disheartened that my bracket that was filled out was less a final four team (Syracuse) and an elite Eight team (Kansas) by the end of the first round of

Last night, while I was coming back from a group meeting at Clemons, I bumped into our very own Will Coley. We just sort of stood around for just a few minutes (no more than five) and talked to catch up on what was going on, what we were up to and the like. Nothing serious, just light conversation. This was an especially pleasing occurance seeing as how Will never seems to be around and I

I know this is a little premature since it's not technically the end of our basketball season but barring a miracle of an ACC tournament win or using unethical methods to sway the selection committee, it looks like our season is over. While the outcome of our season hasn't changed from last year as we haven't made the NCAA tournament either year, this season was especially frustrating. It looked

Well, as it seems that it has been over 3 months since I last posted to this blog, I feel that I should send a very deep apology to all of my die-hard blog readers. I'm sure exactly how many of you there are that still read my blog but thanks for putting your faith in me and trusting that I would once again return to the world of the blog.

I know that I have been on this kick of short posts, but here is another one. This is one that I heard from George Lopez during Monday Night Football. This was his response when one of the commentators asked him what he thought of the success of his show (The George Lopez Show, of course). It's really funny, but oh so true. "In this age of reality TV, it's just nice to be an actor and

I don't know how many of you watched the Redskins - Packers game that is supposed to determine the outcome of the election but I would like to draw your attention to one play from that game in particular. With about two and half minutes left in the game, the Packers came with an all out blitz and Brunell found Portis in the seam for a touchdow to give the 'skins a 21 - 20 lead pending the extra

For those of you who do not follow football very closely, this title may seem a little odd, even bizarre and for those of you who do, it still may not make any sense. First off, let me start by saying that I am breaking the golden rule and sparking up a conversation about NFL sports instead of our NCAA #6 Virginia Cavaliers. Now on to the real issue. Most of you are still probably asking 'Geoff,

Between this election and all the things surrounding the church over the last few years, I had to write this. To our dear church clergy and politicians: When our world is perfected, when there is not more unneccesary death, when violence is no more, when the hungry are fed, when the sick are healed, when oppressed no longer suffer oppression, when discrimination and ethnic cleansing is no

Okay everybody. I realized that it has been, well, a little while since I last updated my blog and for that I am deeply sorry. But I promise that you will not leave this reading unsatisfied. It is a another one of my picture sessions. Pictures from my vacation over the summer to Mystic Seaport, Conneticut to be exact. On the topic of Mystic Seaport, I recently became aware that there is a movie

Well, it's only been a month since I posted last so I'm doing better. I am writing this post from work. Why? you may ask yourselve would I be posting from work with all the files to file, invoices to invoice, meeting upon overlapping meeting to go to. How could I squeeze it in? Simple, I have no files to file, invoices to invoice (sounds kinda like a Dr. Seuss book huh?), and my overlapping

Well, it's been almost 4 months since my last post and I have to say that a lot has happened during that time. I've been from coast to coast, spent 40 days in the desert (well not quite, more like 6), been up Humpback rock and back again for Easter morning, suffered and stressed through finals, spent a wonderful week at the beach with a wonderful girl and 20 other very fun people, gotten burnt

For those of you who haven't noticed, this is my third entry for the night. I'm making up for not writing anything for almost 3 weeks. Anyways, so there is this girl. I treasure every moment that I spend with her and dread every time that I have to leave her side. I never knew that someone could mean so much to me until I met her. She means the world to me and I would do anything for her.

Well, for those of you who haven't already figured it out, this past weekend was the annual Valentine Cookie Bake at the Wesley Foundation. Thankfully, it's only annually, instead of bi-annually, or quarterly, or monthly, or dare I say weekly. Not to say that it wasn't lots of fun, which it was, I just don't think I could take spending 20hours in a kitchen over the course of two days taking

Okay, I know that the Super Bowl is now almost 2 weeks gone and football has almost sunk out of people's minds replaced by the current basketball season and upcoming and seemingly endless baseball season, but I had to write about this topic. I don't know how many of you watched any of the pre-game show to the Super Bowl but they had several quarterbacks on there who had children with genetic

Well, since it seems like everyone is doing it, I'm going to succomb to the peer pressure and list my blessings with one exception, I'm just going to cover the stuff since I got to UVA.

Back to the old blog again. What is that you say? It's only been 2 days since I last updated it? I've got to get a life. I'll give you my input anyway. I have decided that instead of talking about what has been going on in my life as is the norm, that I will instead give some insights as to what has been on my mind. The first thing is in regards to our discussion on prioritizing our time

Well, I am now officially back at school ready to start the second semeseter of my college life. It is so hard to believe that I have already been here for a whole semester. For those of you who keep up w/ my blog, you may have noticed that it has been quite a while since I last updated it. Amidst all the dial-up connection issues at home, chaos of pre-christmas, christmas, and post-christmas

Wow. It's hard to believe that it has been 2 whole weeks since my last post. Where have my priorities gone?! I could give the excuse that I had spent all last week locked away in a room, studying hard for my exams, but that would be a lie. The truth is that until I left UVA on Monday, I had spent nearly every waking hour over at the Foundation. Some of it was studying, but for the most part,

Since I just posted and entry yesterday, hopefully this one will be a little shorter. I just felt as if I needed to clear some things up. First of all, I would like to extend belated kudos to Caroline who did a great job in singing 'Carol of the Bells', a song which I couldn't sing if I knew the words, on Friday night. Second, in response to a blog entry by a person whom will remain nameless,

Well exams start on Monday so I figured that I should make the most out of this last week and for the most part I did, at least the end of it. Thursday I had dinner at Wesley as usual along with an advent service. From there we went over to the Foundation and decorated the Christmas tree. Some of us also attempted to start a fire in the fireplace which, in the end, was not very successful.

Wahoowa baby!! UVA 35 VT 21. What a game. By far our best of the season. The atomosphere of the game was awesome!! There was simply no other feeling like it. But the game was just the beginning of our day. In classic Wesley celebratory fashion, the men of the dwelling and a few others decided that they needed to make a visit to the Ponderosa. Now for any other group of people this would

We want the REAL Tech!! Isn't that the truth. Well, UVA football won today so thats definitely a plus. We beat Georgia Tech 29-17. Not impressive, but a win. We only needed 5 field goals from Connor. To all my people in Wesley, the post game get together was great. Andrew, your parents sure do know how to cook. Are sure that we cant get them to come back next year? My mom and

Well, not much is new since my last entry. The same old thing. Endless piles of work, teachers who don't mind adding their little bit to the stack. I have thus far gotten it all done though, so thats a plus. My biggest issue right now though has nothing to do with classes, work loads or even the beautiful Wesley ladies, but what should I do with my life? It is a question that has plagued me
