the best line from this morning's game (california golden bears vs. air force academy falcons) on espn2:

"california just exploded all over air force's face."

it was sweet and glorious.

56-14, and goddamn, we're so hot right now.

to wake up on a saturday morning and go through a football game like a regular person -- oh, how that feels so good, to wear regular clothes on a gameday, to not eat char-grilled food at nine in the morning, to not sweat and have your legs be in pain as you stand on metal bleachers.

to instead snack as you go along, sit in a nice and comfortable couch in the company of good friends, cheer for the team, and of course, not have to worry about much else for the rest of the day, unless you're a bit of the studious type and do homework.

is this what being a regular student is like? not worrying about being late to rehearsal? not having to worry about getting heat exhaustion in a wool uniform? not waking up at six in the morning for an all day event on any given saturday? not stressing over where to go next and what to play now because i'm seated comfortably in the student section?

i have tasted the other side, and it tastes so good, as california explodes all over air force's face.

i bet i could do so much better in school if i weren't in band.
