Is this the year for my Dockers? Top of the ladder after a 6-0 start.

sometimes when the going gets really tough and I'm fed up with studying, I imagine myself doing a Jordan fist pump when graduating to motivate myself.

I imagine this is a big week for people still in school. Either you are finished or you are jealous of those who just did. I did not walk in any of the ceremonies since high school but it was always a relief to walk out of the last final.

Received this bad boy today:

42mm Apple Watch with the stainless steel link band.

LOVING it.

Thanks fellas. Was a great feeling having my dad and sons there to see me. I think it made a great impression on the kids, or I think it did anyhow. Just a two year degree for now. Plan on taking a semester off then taking classes through East Carolina online for my bachelors. I've been through a ton personally over the years and got teary eyed walking the stage. Great moment for my little family.

Awesome. Being a teacher I like to be on stage for graduation because you can see how much it means to the students. When they get those two year degrees and know it was a great step in there final direction they beam. It is always nice to watch.

"Better than us"?

Not in the slightest.

Better than you?

God yes.

I don't think so, not yet at least. That said, I don't really know how to work the bloody thing!!

I use TapTalk and I don't think they have created a Apple Watch profile yet. Be awesome if they did though.

In incredibly-random-yet-actually-Hornets-related news: Nate Ruess (best known as the singer for the band fun.) gave his dog an interesting name.

I gave up on the youtube tags on mobile.

Wow, can't imagine how gutting it must be to be a Liverpool fan right now. Over the last year Liverpool fans have seen their team miss out on a BPL title (last year that is), lose its best player (Suarez), lose its longtime Captain (Gerrard this summer), miss out on the player it desperately needed (Depay), and now its most promising prospect in a while is demanding a transfer as well (Sterling).

If I'm in charge at Liverpool I have no choice but to fire Rodgers because of his inability to hang on to the clubs' best players and his apparent inability to take advantage of the talent that the club did have. This year the club looked absolutely lost when Sturridge was out, it was as if Rodgers didnt know what to do with Balotelli. Rodgers made some absolutely insane tactical decisions throughout the year as well, including the decision to start Sterling at Wing Back for several games even though Sterling clearly is better out as an attacking wing.....

Post #979 » by **fatlever** » Tue May 19, 2015 5:03 pm

Yeah, this Sterling situation is nuts. His agent is a bit off his rocker, it seems. As much as it sucks for them to lose Gerrard, you could make an argument that they might be better off next year w/out him playing all those minutes, at least on the field. Not sure if they have the personalities in the lockerroom to make up for his lost leadership. At least when Chelsea lost Lampard they still had Terry and others for leadership.

Man United seems destined to spend another 250 million this summer. They are going to try and buy everyone.

And Wenger will probably ignore Arsenals biggest weaknesses again. They need a striker and defenders and a world class keeper (oh, nevermind, he says he has 3 world class keepers already), which means he will sign another 5 attacking midfielders.
