Whats the difference between me and you
Illinois Basketball sucks, Bears Blow, but we had fun last night. It was "wear your favorite Kirby Jersey night".

The Beginning
Mills here, and oh what a ride down it was. We left Darien, IL at 9:35AM, 5 minutes behind schedule. I could barely see Smiles who was next to me because there was so much stuff piled high. The ride went quickly, though, because of our jam sessions and intriguing conversations.
The so-called "American football" was very exciting. I think the white stuff falling from the sky made it much more difficult. There is a buzz in the air for next Sunday.
I as well got a quick pump then ate a sandwich. I intended to go explore the city on their subway, but ended up with a chicken sandwich in my hand.
Back home, I played some "Four Corners" with my good ol' pals for hours. Then it was time to venture out to Kam's and Smiles gave me the honors of going in first. I agree with Smiles regarding the popularity of this pub. It was very crowded and seemed to get more crowded as the night grew older. I enjoyed plenty of drinks with the sophisticated name of "Blue Guys." I met up with my one and only freshman year roomie T-Mac. I also met Jeff Allen and he gave me the new nickname "Millsap."
After Kam's seemingly kicked us out at 2AM, Big Cat and I walked to Geovanti's to grab some of their famous chicken strips. We scarfed them down in Room 1 and then I went to bed...only to wake up with a line on my face. I guess I woke up before Big Cat could do more damage.
There is no better way to start the year than celebrating MLK's birthday. I slept a lot then went to the Activities and Recreation Center to play some basketball. We are getting ready for the upcoming intramural season.
McCaleb and Rach came down to Champaigne on Monday night. We hung out in Room 24 for a while then went to Brother's. When we walked in at 11PM, "Closing Time" was playing. That was wierd. It was McCaleb, Rach, Goethals, Big Cat, Jmo, Parker, and myself. My dear cousin Maura showed up after a while. We sat around a table and thoroughly enjoyed each other's company and shared stories and laughs.
Goethals, Big Cat, and I walked Maura back to Chi O and were very disappointed with the lack of food in the kitchen area. Luckily, back at the house, Big Cat had Tostito's with a Hint of Lime and Goethals had Cheddar Bunnies. Great end to the night.
Finally, I was to expound on Smiles's last quote. He is quoting the song "Champaign, Illinois" by Old 97's. I heard this song on the radio last week and have brought his down here with me. I want to take credit for publicizing this song. It is our theme song for the Spring 2011 semester. It will soon be a campus hit. You heard it here first.
No, you will not go to Heaven...You'll go to Champaign, Illinois.

Syllabus week part one
Andy here
We got to champaigne a few days ago on sunday. I rode down in a car with Big Cat, Mils, and Gaythals and boy was it a great trip. We had three dudes packed to the brim in that car jamming out to the Beatles the whole way down. We got here just in time for the Bears vs Seahawks playoff game. Ive never seen such passion for such a complicated game. Its called football but that game is not played with your foot, but thats besides the point. The bears won and everyone in the town was all riled up because the bears play the packers in chicago next Sunday.
After a quick lift, us men rolled over to a local pub named Firehause for some dinner and drinks. We had a cute waitress who we thought for sure would care if we ordered beers and we were right. We all ordered Miller lights and she asked to see "an id." Lanter was the only one who was 21 in the group so he showed his id and the drinks were out a few minutes later. Its amazing how there is a law here that says people have to be 21 to drink, but not a single person follows that law. Even restaurants who could get shut down will give us alcohol.
We came back from firehause and started playing some drinking games. Kyle and I spent about 30 minutes creating our new drinking game that combines yatzee, quarters, circle of death and basketball. Its really complicated but lets just say 7 yatzees in a row and someone gets a blowjob.....(This city is crazy!!!) After some shots and games of beer mugs we headed off to another Pub called Kams.
Upon arrival to Kams it was instantly apparent this was the hot spot of the town. There was about a 20 min line, a 5 dollar cover charge, and it smelled like poop but there was a ton of people there we knew so it was easily worth it. I lucked out and was in line behind a drunken couple who spent forever getting out their money, so i just walked straight in without paying and no one stopped me.

After hanging out for a while, kyle started letting go the smelliest farts I have ever smelled in my life and everyone around us noticed (thats pretty bad if you can notice it in kams). Some girls walked by and blamed big cat for the farts even after we told them it was Kyle not him. O well I guess kyle is too good looking to fart.
We finally left kams and went home to hang out for a bit. Ya know just doing shananagans and stuff. Anyways. Big cat spent 3 hours running around drawing "I hate the gays" on everyone he could see. John Busch got the worst of it and ended up with a full face tatooo.
Overall it was a great night and its a bummer school has to start. College without class might be the greatest thing ever. And syllabus week is a close second.
See ya soon and remember, when you die, you will not go to heaven, you'll go champaign, Illinois.
