Don’t we look amazing together?

For the 5 regular followers of this blog, you know it’s March Madness, and maybe you know basketball is one of my favorite sports. You probably also know I attend a university that seems to be doing well in the NCAA tournament so far, and I like when people do well. And I support the fans who support our excellent teams.

We have really creative fans. Maybe too many. Which is why I need your help.

If you’re on facebook, you should take this poll and vote for your favorite fan sign: http://poll.fm/f/2t8pd and/or here http://poll.fm/f/2t9wa

If you’re not on facebook, you should take this poll and vote for your favorite fan sign: http://byufansigns.questionpro.com/

Fun stuff, eh? The polls will be open until Friday. Don’t delay.

I made some mistakes when I was 20 and a student at BYU.

I had help getting through the crushing guilt and other consequences.

The same Honor Code that was in effect then is the same one that’s making national headlines right now.

Apart from suspension or probation, there’s a girlfriend. And, supposedly, a kid on the way. I can’t find a single legitimate source to back that up.

It really complicates things. And I know I wouldn’t be able to handle that very well as a 19-year old, on top of media coverage. And the whole world blogging about it.

Ahem.

Judgment, compassion. It all comes down to a choice, really. My heart hurts on so many levels.

I defer to one of my favorite bloggers, Dooce. I agree with what she says about this.

Mistakes, consequences, redemption. He’ll rise above this.

Chin up, Brandon.

Ballin’

I played some basketball tonight. Girls’ basketball. Lincoln Center building. 9pm. Six of us showed up. It was fun. I’ll be extremely sore, either tomorrow or the next day. Charlie horses decided to seize both my calves, but I kept playing. I’m not sure what will happen. Keep massaging. And electrolytes.

My body is getting old. But I was scrappy on the court. I think I did a pick-and-roll thingy. And I must have scored 16 points or so.

Oh. Guess what I came up with? We were playing a little aggressively, and one of girls said something about not having charity while playing. Then I said, “Charity never fouleth.” They thought is was clever.

What else. Nothing. I got nothing. All I know is I’m totally spent.
