The sometimes but not always Annual Will Soistman NFL Mock Draft 2016 Edition (UPDATED)

The sometimes but not always Annual Will Soistman NFL Mock Draft 2016 Edition

1. LA Rams – Jared Goff QB

I fully expect the Rams to do something weird, like take an O lineman or another running back just so they can go 8-8 with Jeff Fisher

2. Philadelphia Eagles – Carson Wentz QB

The Eagles WENT(z) up and traded to get their small time big time guy to go along with their other big time QBs to form a triple threat to the likes no one has EVER SEEN.

3. San Diego Chargers – Jalen Ramsey CB

The Chargers have had a bunch of shrubs and scrubs on their DLine for a while, but they shock the world and draft someone for one of the few areas they are actually competent in. Replacement for Eric Weddle?

4. Dallas Cowboys – Ezekiel Elliott RB

The Cowboys could go a lot of ways here but adding another weapon to the offense should help Tony Romo in the 7 games he plays

5. Jax Jaguars – Joey Bosa DE

      The Jaguars are quietly building a solid defense to go along with their high scoring offense. With Bosa and last years pick Fowler on the D line, they could be scary for the AFC South

6. Baltimore Ravens – DeForest Buckner DE

Just classic Ravens. Sit and wait and probably get the best player in this draft for the next 10 years just because of people ahead of them selecting BPA instead of needs

7. New York Giants (Trade with 49ers) – Laremy Tunsil OT

The Giants trade up to get the best offensive lineman in the draft. Eli Manning will have plenty of time to light up the laramies with this boy standing up front

8. Cleveland Browns – Josh Doctson WR

Terrelle Pryor is the Browns current #1 receiver. I want to joke about that, but I can’t. It’s too sad.

9. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Myles Jack LB/DE

Gerald McCoy is the only person people can name on this defensive line. Let’s add another with this edge rusher that can wreak havoc like a true pirate, even if he may have a peg leg

10. San Francisco 49ers (from New York Giants) – Corey Coleman WR

The 49ers got to get some more weapons for… Blaine Gabbert? Coleman is a player that can make dudes miss which he will have to do plenty of with the 5 yard passes he will be catching

11. Chicago Bears – Ronnie Stanley OT

The Bears offense should be better this year with the return of Kevin White who missed all of last year with injuries and now a stud tackle to let Jay Cutler have just enough time to throw a couple more interceptions

12. New Orleans Saints – Shaq Lawson DE

Shaq always said he loved the Big Easy and now they get baby Shaq. Him and Cam Jordan should make quite the pass rush duo down south.

13. Miami Dolphins – Chris Jones DT

The Dolphins add another Big Dude (like big) to go along with Suh on the DLine. Opponents would literally have to run through these mammoths to get any sort of yards.

14. Oakland Raiders – Sheldon Rankins DT

The Raiders continue their draft success with a name that isn’t flashy but will get the job done. Don’t be surprised to see this team make the playoffs with the start of a draft like this.

15. Tennessee Titans – William Jackson CB

The Titans got a lot of picks from the Rams and the Titans need every single one of them. They have a ton of holes and corner is one of them. Thankfully one of the best is there for the taking although the competition Jackson faced wasn’t necessarily the best.

16. Detroit Lions – Jack Conklin OT

Michigan State product Conklin stays in the state and gets the gorgeous landscape of Motown where the heart of downtown is filled with White Castles and Firestone tire shops.

17. Atlanta Falcons – Cody Whitehair OG

Yawn right? But this is what wins games, the trenches. Good ol trench warfare. The Falcons don’t need to be flashy as Julio Jones has plenty of flash for the offense

18. Indianapolis Colts – Jarran Reed DT

The Colts taking a defensive player this early in the draft is the biggest upset so far. They love trying to make Luck better, but what they need are some big bodies to help on the other side of the ball.

19. Buffalo Bills – Leonard Floyd OLB/DE

Sexy Rexy at the helm again and he gets another toy to play with. He needs to replace Mario Williams with an up and comer and Sugar Ray Leonard Floyd Mayweather has just the PUNCH they need

20. New York Jets – Mackenzie Alexander CB

BECAUSE WHY NOT. ANOTHER CORNER/Defensive player for a team that never thinks they need to do anything on offense. They can never have another corners apparently

21. The Washington Professional Football Team – Karl Joseph S

With the team getting Josh Norman at corner, that solidifies a position of need so now to keep working on the backend and get younger and more skill players. Washington has literally had the worst safeties so anything better than terrible is an upgrade

22. Houston Texans – LaQuan Treadwell WR

Ive seen people saying the Texans need a speedy receiver to spread the field out for Hopkins and other players. But if you can have TWO DeAndre Hopkins, wouldn’t that be better? Osweiler will be thanking his lucky stars if the Texans grab this stud

23. Minnesota Vikings – Sterling Shepard WR

Probably the most consistent wide receiver in college goes to a team the desperately needs consistence at the position. Can Sterling be more than Silver for the Vikings?

24. Cincinnati Bengals – Leonte Caroo WR

The wide receivers are disappearing before our eyes! The sure handed Caroo missed games in his college career but can be a great weapon to the Red Rockets arsenal and give that offense a little boost that they need

25. Pittsburgh Steelers – Reggie Ragland LB

Just another LB to head to the promised land. The Steelers can easily rotate Ragged Reggie into their sub packages and wreak havoc on unsuspecting quarterbacks throughout the season.

26. Seattle Seahawks – Jason Spriggs OT

The Seahawks don’t have anyone playing their offensive line. Injuries, Retirements, Free Agents, all they have left are a bunch of bums and French dudes. Spriggs can the new kid on the block to protect Russell Wilson’s package

27. Green Bay Packers – Hunter Henry TE

Time to give A A RON some more toys. Jordy Nelson will return this year and young Hunter will help be a safety release for Rodgers, although he will never need one. The Packers are always on the hung and HH will be there for the taking

28. Kansas City Chiefs – Eli Apple CB

The loss of Sean Smith is huge for this defense. Itd be great to land a receiver to help the offense out but the run on receivers earlier left the Chiefs no choice but to grab the last top CB off their board.

29. Arizona Cardinals – Ryan Kelly C

Who doesn’t love R Kelly? A solid staple of an offensive line is built around the Center position and the Cardinals were lacking in this department last season. R Kelly hot and fresh out the kitchen for Bruce Arians and this potent offense

30. Carolina Panthers – Emmanuel Ogbah DE

Charles Johnson is aging and the Panthers were using Jared Allen as a primary pass rusher last season. What better name/athlete to team up with Star Lutoulellei than someone named OGBAH. Great value for the NFC champions

31. Denver Broncos – Jonathan Bullard DT

The Broncos try to improve their defense even more by grabbing a big ol boy to clog the middle of the run lanes. The Brahma Bull returns to lovely Denver Colorado and tries to help the champs repeat in 2016. 

Rocket League Review

The Little Engine(s) That Could

Soccer is the world’s most popular sport and has the biggest selling video game sports franchise in EA Sports’ FIFA series. The sheer scope of the sport, teams and star players can seem daunting to a casual player who isn’t familiar with Soccer. “Which team do I use? What the heck is a 4-3-3? WHY CAN’T I USE HANDS?” Thankfully, there IS a solution to these questions/problems for people who know the basics and that solution is Rocket League.

Rocket League has been out since July 2015 for the PC and Playstation 4, but more recently has made its way onto the Xbox One platform in February of 2016. The premise is simple: You control a small car (think Hot Wheels cars) on a team that can be anywhere from one to four players and try to hit a soccer ball into the opponent’s goal. That’s it. Where the beauty lies are in the ways anyone can master this art and perform masterful tricks ranging from flips in the air, to sweet give and go’s that one would expect in a human played soccer match. But the best part about the game is how it is catered to this generation of ADD, YouTube and multi-tasking kids and adults. Only have time for 20-30 minutes before work? Can easily fit three to four matches in. Want to listen to the latest Channel 33 podcast while playing a round of Rocket League? Then do it, as there’s no PA announcer and the only sounds are sound effects and an in game soundtrack, although the music is pretty darn great. The main point to drive home is how great of a feeling it is to play with friends and how quickly it is to get in and out of matches. There aren’t many things in life better than deflecting a goal, which turns into a nice outlet pass to a best friend in California, who turns around and bounces a pass of his own back to a third friend in Boston who “rockets” a ball into the back of the ol’ onion bag.

Ultimately, Rocket League is a game for anyone who wants to try their hand in something quick, fun and not complicated. The price tag is just right and now it is available on a number of platforms, not to mention the developer Psyonix is trying their hand at making this game connect with every player on every platform, and this would be one of the first games of its kind to do such a thing. Also, be on the lookout for a “Basketball” mode that Psyonix is debuting later this month in a free update to the game.

Platforms: PS4, PC, Xbox One (Played)

Price: $19.99

            

Live Performance Review: Daughtry (Acoustic)

Live Performance Review: Daughtry (Acoustic)

                It’s hard to give a full review of a small acoustic performance set in the 2^nd floor of a bar. Chris Daughtry and two other band members sat up on stage and gently performed four songs, all while chatting and joking with some members of the crowd. It was all very relaxing and casual as the hoodie wearing Chris named each song he was going to perform before bellowing his powerful voice over the crowd. They opened with his biggest hit “It’s Not Over” followed by “Home.” I cannot state enough how great his voice is in person. It echoed through the small hall and sounded nearly identical to any radio single he has put out thus far, even better so as the strain in his voice came over the microphone. It was quite impressive and it goes to show why he has become such a star after his success on American Idol, and even more surprising that he didn’t win. He finished with a couple newer songs as him and the band are finishing up an album and need to promote the newer stuff.

                Then just like that, it was over. He gave his last pick to a young girl in the crowd and disappeared in to a back room. Eventually the crowd was led to take a single picture with the band before everyone went on their way. This has nothing to do with the actual performance of course, but after the show my fiancé and I met up with Chris and other band member Elvio at a bar next door and hung out for 45 minutes with them both talking about various subjects. They seem truly humbled and honored to have made it this far in life and show business and it really showed how much they cared about their fans taking us in so freely. It really was just another awesome moment with a “celebrity” who could have easily called it a night after his show and went back on the road or to his hotel. I am looking forward to the next time our paths cross and hope to see him do an actual concert at some point.

                

Make America Great Again. Abolish the Quesalupa

The Quesalupa is Awful

(And it pains me to type these words)

                I have a love/love relationship with Taco Bell. I love it when I want a guilty pleasure food and I love it when I want any kind of food. I will eat nearly anything and everything from these gourmet chefs. So did my eyes deceive me when I saw what looked to be the greatest combination of two items (quesadilla and chalupa at least, I think) made into a delicious God made treat? No, they did not! The Super Bowl advertisement did its job and I raced towards the 8^th wonder of the world, Taco Bell.

                I held in my hand something that was intended to change the fast food, nay, entire world! It worked! It changed my taste buds to actually hate something I had purchased from Taco Bell. I held in my hand a shell of empty promises. The commercials were built off a foundation of lies: gooey, cheesy, tear it apart and it melts my ass. It was just a chalupa. A regular chalupa that costs 2 dollars more than a regular chalupa. I was deceived and stabbed in the back by my favorite place. How could they do this to me and millions of other people? They should immediately cease and desist any and all commercials supporting this travesty of a taco cheese shell. The extra cheese just sat there, unmelted. The shell inside of the chalupa wasn’t even crispy, it’s as if they heated up a wet shell and made it hot as I ordered it.

                I was so disappointed. America, don’t order a quesalupa. Vote for Trump, watch the Kardashians, just don’t let the quesalupa be a success. Just stick to everything else on the menu. The crunchwrap supreme is a staple of my Taco Bell diet. No order goes without it. 

Mock Draft 2014!

The last time I posted.... Was pretty much a year ago. Same event, different date.
Lets see how I do.

1. Houston Texans - Jadeveon Clowney, SC. Who should/will the Texans take with their 1^st overall pick this year... Really? Clown question bro.
2. St Louis Rams - Man... I expect a trade... I want a trade. But. No clue. so... Sammy Watkins, Clemson. Bradford is their qb, get him a damn weapon.
3. Jacksonville Jaguars - Khalil Mack, Buffalo. They should grab Manziel to get some fans in the seats. But its Return of the Mack. Impact player to some.
4. Cleveland Browns - Mike Evans, A&M. They wanted Watkins... grab receiver 1B. Evans and Gordon can possibly make any bum the Browns have at QB good.
5. Oakland Raiders - Greg Robinson, Auburn. Some say the best tackle in the draft falls to the Raiders. Theyve had a turnstile on their offensive line forever. This should help.
6. Atlanta Falcons - One of the teams trying to trade... Hope they do. But for now... Jake Matthews, A&M. RUN ON TACKLES BEGINNNNNN
7. Tampa Bay Bucs - Eric Ebron UNC, bustity bust for the bucs bucs bucs.
8. Minnesota Vikings - Johnny Mothaeffin Manziel A&M. HES HERE EVERYONE. Mike
   Zimmer said how much he hated Manziel's pro day. Which means he wants him.
9. Buffalo Bills - Taylor Lewan Michigan. Bills have some young skill players on offense and
   defense, now its just a matter of protecting their qb. Taylormade baby.
10. Detroit Lions - Darqueze Dennard Mich St, not sure who exactly is going here. But the Lions
    need a cornerback. I get it, another receiver opposite Calvin would be sick... But they need
    defense badly.
11. Tennessee Titans - Kyle Fuller Va Tech. Titans lost Verner in free agency, and nobody beats
    the WIZZZZ. He knows how to pickem, or tries anyway.
12. New York Giants - Aaron Donald, Pitt. Shocking, the Giants go defense!
13. St Louis Rams - Zack Martin Notre Dame. The Rams finish their 1^st round with help on their o
    line. Watkins and Martin. Bradford... no excuses now.
14. Chicago Bears - Ha Ha Clinton Dix Bama. The Bears defense isnt it what it used to be. Havent
    had a safety this good since the likes of Papa Smokey.
15. Pittsburgh Steelers - Doesnt matter who they pick. He will end up being good. So lets go with
    Calvin Pryor of Louisville. Clark and Polamalu are 100 years old.
16. Dallas Cowboys - Ryan Shazier LB Ohio State. Shazier from THE Ohio State helps THE team
    with a terible defense. Him and Sean Lee should be durttttty
17. Baltimore Ravens - Odell Beckham LSU. The Ravens have quite a few needs for a team that
    recentlt won a super bowl. The call beckons... for a new receiver. Steve Smith wont last forever
18. New York Jets - Brandin Cooks Oregon St. My favorite receiver goes to my least favorite team
    Decker and Cooks should really help the garbage the Jets have at qb.
19. Miami Dolphins - Dolphins have A LOT of needs but cant reach for an o line man here.
    Jason Verrett doesnt really fill a need, but maybe the J Hey Kid can be something.
20. Arizona Cardinals - Blake Bortles UCF. Blake you very much (Stealing from Russi, maybe Keith). They still have Carson... but Bortles it the future
21. Green Bay Packers - Justin Gilbert OK St. Packers offense runs through Rodgers, they can put
    anyone at WR or RB there. Mr. Gilbert is a beast and will try to be Megatron's opposition.
22. Philadelphia Eagles - Bradley Roby Ohio St. Roby will fly like an eagle in Philly, lets just hope
    its not as high as an eagle either.
23. Kansas City Chiefs - Marqise Lee USC. Pac 12 nation. Him and Bowe would be sick. I love lee
    i hope he doesnt go to the Chiefs in all honesty.
24. Cincinnati Bengals - Kelvin Benjamin Florida St. Andy Dalton should be singin with AJ Green
    a la P Diddy and Biggie.
25. San Diego Chargers - Anthony Barr, UCLA. Settin and Raisin, Mr Anthony stays in Southern
    Cali much to the delight of Bruin nation.
26. Cleveland Browns - Teddy Bridgewater Louisville. Teddy ballgame finds his way to the dawg
    pound.
27. New Orleans Saints - Jace Amaro TE Tex Tech. Im gonna say the 49ers trade up to this spot and grab Amaro before the Panthers or Patriots can. They need some offensive help and Jace away

         the other teams from grabbing him.

28. Carolina Panthers - Well the Panthers got screwed. Cody Latimer Indiana. Forced to reach for
    an offensive weapon for Cam Newton. Hopefully this plays out well or else Ill suit up for the
    Panthers.
29. New England Patriots - Timmy Jernigan Florida St. The Pats get a possible top 15 player at the
    bottom of the first round to round out... really rouunnddddddd out their defensive line.
30. SF 49ers - The Saints would be here. They grab Dee Ford Auburn. The guy who called out Clowney goes to NOLAAA and can hopefully dance the way he talks.
31. Denver Broncos - Cyrus Kouandijo Bama. Injuries on the offensive line hurt the Bronocs last year. Have holes on defense but dont wanna reach for anyone at this point.
32. Seattle Seahawks - Kony Ealy Mizzou. The real best defensive player on Mizzouri goes to Seattle where is eailily fits as a part time role player
    
    

Lets hope this is better than last years mess

NFL 1st Round Mock Draft 2013

Warning: Some comments may be offensive. So, don't be offended. Cool.
Thanks.

From Radio City Music Hall in New York, NY.

I present to you, the Officially Official 2013 1^st Round Mock Draft of one time Champion

Will Soistman.

Please to enjoy.

1. Kansas City Chiefs – Luke Joeckel Tackle from A&M.
   Andy Reid knows a good fat guy when he sees one prompting Andy to say “Luke, I am your father.”
2. Jacksonville Jaguars – Dion Jordan LB from Oregon.
   Arguably the most athletic person in the draft, Dion will help the woeful Jags defense at least a little in the pass rush where they were God awful.
3. Oakland Raiders – Shariff Floyd DT from Florida.
   There's a new Sheriff Bust in town. Floyd will be a staple of the Raider defense for weeks until he gets arrested for impersonating a cop in a night club. Will be off the team in 2 years.
4. Philadelphia Eagles – Eric Fisher Tackler from Central Michigan.
   The Eagles need help for (Insert Qbs name) blindside or... frontside? Fish should be the grab here if he slips this far.
5. Detroit Lions – Ezekiel Ansah DE from BYU.
   Lions lose Cliff Avril and older pass rushers so they need to be replaced. Big Zeke can hopefully fill those shoes with his missionary ways.
6. Cleveland Browns – Dee Milliner CB from Bama.
   I want to put someone else here. But everyone and their mamas and papas are putting Milliner here. Let's hope Cleveland wants the Dee as much as some girls do.
7. Arizona Cardinals – Lane Johnson Tackle from Oklahoma.
   The Cards are have a bad line. Like, real bad. Lane is the third tackle taken in the top 10, but that doesn't mean he's a lane duck.
8. Buffalo Bills – Ryan Nassib QB from Syracuse.
   Too obvious to not happen right? Old Syracuse coach new Buffalo team. Old Syracuse Qb... new Buffalo team.
9. New York Jets – Barkevious Mingo DE from LSU.
   Rex doesn't need to add more Bark to his team. They need bite. Hopefully this Mingo kid can add some of that.
10. Tennessee Titans – Jonathan Cooper Guard from UNC.
    The Titans decide to Hang with Mr. Cooper during the draft. Maybe CJ2K will stop blaming the line now.
11. San Diego Chargers – Chance Warmack Guard from Alabama.
    The Chargers needs to start taking less risks and more Chances. The best teams have great offensive lines. The Chargers have the worst.
12. Miami Dolphins – DJ Hayden CB Houston.
    The Fish have spent a lot of money on offense now it's time to invest some on the defense. They need to replace Jake Long, but no one worth reaching for here. Hayden some say is the best corner in the draft.
13. New York Jets – Tavon Austin WR West Virginia.
    The Jets celebrated Earth day by recycling their garbage Qbs on the roster this past weekend. To try and fix this they draft Austin, who scored a 7 on his wonderlic and will score 6 on defenses.
14. Carolina Panthers – Star Lotulelei DT Utah.
    The Panthers can't stop anyone on defense and hopefully Starlite will be more of a Star for Ron Rivera.
15. New Orleans Saints – Jarvis Jones UGA LB
    After a horrible combine and not so great pro day, there is still one person who was impressed. Big ol Rob Ryan thinks Jarvis was plenty fast enough.
16. St Louis Rams – Cordarrelle Patterson TENN WR
    Might be the first big reach of the draft but the Rams have no one for Bradford to throw the ball to. Let's just hope Patterson can talk and play better than former Volunteer Robert Meachem.
17. Pittsburgh Steelers – Alec Ogletree UGA LB.
    The man with questions goes to the team that doesn’t tolerate that kinda bullstuffff. If only Kevin were this good.
18. Dallas Cowboys – DJ Fluker Tackler ALA.
    Fills a need, let’s hope he aint a Fluke like Doug Free. Risky move for Jerry’s world.
19. New York Giants – Tyler Eifert TE ND.
    The Giants haven’t had a big play TE since Shockey was doin the damn thing. Even Eli can force a smile with this pick.
20. San Francisco 49ers Trade up to Bears – Desmond Trufant CB WASH.
    The 49ers use the extra pick they received in Alex Smith trade to get a corner. They don’t need all these picks in the draft, they have very few roster spots available.
21. Cincinnati Bengals – Justin Hunter WR TENN.
    The second Volunteer WR to go in the draft certainly would do so to play alongside AJ Green. The Red Rocket has some much needed fuel.
22. St Louis Rams – Kenny Vaccaro S TEX
    The best safety in the class goes to THE Jason Sehorn university of learning.
23. Minnesota Vikings – Sylvester Williams DT MIN.
    Because why not, the Williams wall has been gone for a couple years but these hungry guys just don’t go away.
24. Indianapolis Colts – Manti Te’o LB ND.
    Oh manti manti manti. So hard to predict where you will stink in the NFL. At least the Colts use some version of the Cover who defense for you to pretend to cover people.
25. Minnesota Vikings – Keenan Allen WR CAL.
    Kel loves orange soda, Kennan loves purple drank. He will try to step into Percy’s shoes and fill them… but no one can touch Percy. No one.
26. Greeen Bay Packers – Justin Pugh Tackle SYR.
    No idea who that guy is. But hes a tackle. And he… Pughs… a hole?
27. Houston Texans – Robert Woods WR USC.
    2 years ago. Sure fire 1^st wr taken. Somehow got lost in the wickets because of the poor year and injury. Texans should be hoppppin up and down.
28. Denver Broncos – Xavier Rhodes CB FSU.
    Champ Bailey will lose to father time… Eventually.
29. New England Patriots – Margus Hunt DE SMU.
    I just want this to be overrrrrr.
30. Atlanta Falcons – Kyle Long Guard Ore.
    So closeeeee.
31. Chicago Bears from 49ers – Menelik Watson Tackle FSU.
    Almost….
32. Baltimore Ravens – Jonathan Jenkins DT UGA.
    3-4 NT. Hooray.
    
    
    
    

Doin It Live

Yup. This video is a classic. This was a saying between myself and some friends back in California for the longest time. "DO IT LIVE"

That's kind of what's been goin on lately in my life. So much to do and so many things to learn.

Especially when it comes to the ladies. Now, I normally don't disclose that part of my life on here because well, anyone can read it and know it's about me and certain people. But whatever, I'll do it live.

Since moving out here I have been living the single life (for the most part anyway. When I first came out to Connecticut, I was trying a long distance thing. Unfortunately, that is just wayyyyy too hard to do.)
SO, since then I have been living the single life. Which to say, I never really was good at doing. I have had people (see, Girls) call me a serial monogamist. I jump from relationship to relationship. And they were right. Well for the last year and a half, I have NOT done that (Having your own place, by yourself also helps.) It's been quite fun. It also is really fun to be in Connecticut, pretty much starting a new life with no one knowing who I am, pre judging or having previous knowledge of me. That has been a big plus in meeting girls out here. If they don't like me (or I don't like them) I move on and never really need to be concerned about having mutual friends with them and being concerned about seeing them again out in public. (Sidenote, there actually is ONE of those. Interesting story really, maybe some other time)

Anyway, bouncing around has been nothing short of amazing. Especially, ya know, the physical aspect of it. It's always a good time having those physical encounters and especially ones that are just soooooo good and worth it. There are few things in life better than a late night of bumping uglies and just going at it with no talk, or foreplay involved. Just go at it, get it, and be satisfied. Seriously. Especially when other said party is feeling the exact same way. No relationship, let's just be mature about it and live life in our 20's. We can't do this forever! This has happened on multiple occasions and I couldn't be happier [Of course being safe (;]

But what now, have things changed? Yeah I think so. I think I mayyyy have found someone I ACTUALLY like. Of course, I have a habit of rushing into things quickly, which my best friend Nicky likes to point out, and she's right. But because of that reason, I have been really taking my time in deciding these types of things. Playing the field if you will. And everyone I have seen knows that. Which also, is really mature of them. Knowing things aren't particularly serious, but still going with the flow with it. They are also "Doin it Live"

So that's an update.
I'm also going back home in a couple weeks, albeit for like 3 days, and am so so so so excited. It's just so hard to see everyone I want to see. I will do my best of course, even without a car!
