Potent Quotables: 1: Theodore Roosevelt

"Do what you can, with what you have, where you are." This quote is very simple. The idea comes from a man of a generation that was harder and more sincere and produced out of world war and economic hardship no one of the past 50 years could possibly understand. This quote is a personal challenge to any one who reads it to do exactly what it says do what you can in what ever situation you find your self in. I do not believe it can ever be a bad thing to live up to your potential and to have the satisfaction of knowing that you have done all that you could, that you have wasted nothing of your self.

Potent Quotables: Introduction

Welcome to my new weekly segment of potent quotable. This series will showcase a famous quote and expand on it and the truth and relevance which it contains. It is my hope that this segment will bring some interesting historical context to today's every day life

i cant believe i just did that

Its funny, in my 4 and 1/2 years of college I have never done what I just did. I just walked into a classroom for a normal class, I even brought my computer so I could work on stuff for other classes, but after sitting down and making small talk with a few classmates I was told that there was a test. I DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS A TEST. So I winged it. I have no idea how I did but I am hoping it was not too un-good....

Baseball

Ok so it is early February, and just two days ago I watched one of the best superbowls I have ever been witness to. The semester is in full swing, and there are a million things jockeying for my time. With all of this in mind it is only fitting that I am focused on the fact that the first home game of the Durham Bulls season is on my birthday, April 9th! I think I have an enfatuation. But how could I not when for the second season in a row the bulls made it to the IL final series but could not clench the Governors Cup trophy, which goes to the winner of the International League. This of course with a similar fate for the Bulls major league affiliate, the Tampa Bay Rays who as we shold all know had a story book season until losing in the world series to the Phillies. If you throw in the fact that a strong majority of the current Tampa Bay team has played in Durham, you arrive with an infatuating coctail of baseball obsession on my part. I can not wait to see what the Bulls and the Rays (and of course my personal favorate ST. Louis Cardinals) preform in their perspective divisions and leagues.
