Hello cyberspace,
If you cannot already tell my name is Troy, and I am from Glendale, CA. I do not know why I decided to start this blog, but we shall give it a go, and hopefully it catches on.
I am 20 years old, and entering my Junior year at California Lutheran University (CLU) in sleepy Thousand Oaks, CA. My major is Sports Medicine, but that is not what I want to do with my life. I have known since I was a child that I wanted to work in the world of sports. Once I realized I wasn't talented enough, I switched to medicine (athletic training, physical therapy etc.) I have now come to the conclusion that I want to be a College Football coach, you know like Pete Carroll, Urban Meyer etc. Only I hope that I am not as much of a prick as many of them come off as being (Nick Saban). For those of you wondering, I have gotten my foot in the door, I am going to help video tape the practices of the CLU football team, biiiig responsibility I know, but it is a start, which is exactly what I need.
Other helpful information about me if you all continue to read this blog. I am the 2nd of 4 children, I have an older brother (Tommy) he is my best friend. We have a connection that I have not experienced with any other human being. We talk about anything, sports (mainly Bill James, Sabermetric Baseball, and how VORP rules all), life, school, and video games (Duke Wellington and ESPN Motion; inside jokes). I also have a younger brother (Barry), he just turned 18, and is going through the growing pains of finding himself. As a result, he is a moron, and an idiot, but I am contractually obligated to tolerate him anyways. I have a younger sister (Stephanie), but I do not see her. This is a sad result of my family situation, which I will try to avoid in this blog as I do not feel it appropriate to talk about.
Other important people who might come up often in this blog;
Kyra: she is my girlfriend. She is a very beautiful person, whom I cherish every moment I spend with her. We have been "official" since May 2, 2008 (see I remember these things). I spend a lot of time with her. In fact, her dad has a basketball league that he runs with his friends that he has been kind enough to invite me to. She is studying Criminal Justice at CLU, and the last time I checked she wants to work with juvenile delinquents. Other
Tim: He is my roommate at CLU, and is one of my best friends. We often have deep conversations, and can also just be idiots killing zombies or following Lt. Bubbles into battle on the PS3. One of his worst habits is not following through with anything he ever says...especially calling/texting people back.
Other important tidbits about me;
I am very sarcastic, maybe too sarcastic. I am also NOT politcally correct by any means. This can sometimes get me into trouble, but trust me when I say that I mean well. I am also a huge history buff. Everything from Egypt to Rome to Medieval Europe (just took a great class on that by the way) all the way up to WWII, which if you were to ask the History Channel is the only war ever to exist. It is all very fascinating to me, and I love learning about all of it.

In case you haven't figured out, I love sports. I do not tell time by a watch or calendar, instead I can tell what time of year it is by what sport is in season. My favorite sport is probably baseball, its a great game that has history and pageantry to it that cannot be matched. Though I follow all of MLB, my favorite team is the Dodgers. My next favorite sport is football, especially college football. The history, traditions, and pageantry (Rose Bowl anyone?) that are involved is what makes college football so amazing. Since I was 6 months old I have had season tickets to USC football, obviously making them my favorite team, while applying to colleges I got accepted to Kansas University, and Purdue University, making them my 2nd and 3rd favorite teams. My next favorite sport that I follow is college basketball. Again tradition and history are rampant here. I follow the same three teams in this sport as well, though USC is not doing too hot right now.
Hopefully this is a good enough start for all of you. Keep checking in as there will be more entries in the very near future, move in day is 3 weeks from today, but Fall Practice starts in 2 weeks. I am now off to bed, watching the visual stylings of Arthur Kent on the Military Hitler... I mean History Channel, time to learn about the Philadelphia Experiment (US Military project on invisibility and time travel. This is crazy as I just heard about Die Glocke hours earlier...
Goodnight Moon.
