Kansas City Royals...Royally Pathetic...Jayhawks winning


...Right now the Kansas City Royals are on pace to have the worst team they have ever had. Radio stations in the KC area are boasting "We have more hits than the Royals" and then retracting that statement continuing saying, "...wait thats not many".That in itself needs a little background. Lets just say the Royals could break two records this year. One for most losses ever in a single season in Major League Baseball and if they do that they will secure the second record of having the worst terrible losing streak in baseball history by losing over 100 games in four consecutive seasons. Right now it is not even a debate who is the worst team in baseball, there's the Royals boasting a .229 winning percentage and then everyone else. The Roylas already have had 13-game and 11-game losing streaks at this pint in the season. 48 games into the season they are already 23 games behind thier division leader Detroit who is playing some great baseball and is leading the league in winning percentage at .700.My question is can the Royals finish over 50 games behind? Can it be done, right now I think it might be very possible. To win 50 games would be a good season at this point. Word is that some needed changes are taking place at the top with a potential new GM to be hired but the Royals are a long way from thier winning ways of the past(80's-early 90's).

The lone bright spot right now in Kansas baseball is exactally that....Kansas Baseball. The Kansas Jayhawks are headed to the National Tourney by winning the Big XII baseball tourney title beating 3 of the top 16 teams in the nation to become the Big XII Champs. Go Hawks!

Graduation is around the corner...May 13th at 10am


Invisible Children and the Global Night Commute(april 29th) went great! We had around 200 show up for the screenings and we had 80 people walk to Felten Middle School(pic above) and sleep on the field between the rainsoaked grass and 40 degree temperatures. It was a bit(very) chilly but none the less a great time and a good experience. Everyone had an opportunity to write letters to our president, congressmen and senators. Not bad for having about 25days to throw things together. We had a lot of awesome help...believe me...it had to be there or I either wouldn't have been graduating or it wouldn't have happened. I was very pleased with the response!
Just a sidenote but the filmmakers were on Oprah the wednesday before the Global Night Commute talking about the Invisible Children movement! That was cool to see!

The big news now is that graduation is this saturday! Its TRUE...I will be GRADUATING with a degree in Organizational Leadership...Finally! Its gonna be great to be moving on to the next step in my life. Phil3:12-14 has been a verse that has really been catching my attention...Check it out if you have a chance. I personally have focused on the first two verses not that the third one is a sad excuse for a verse but thats just where my focus has been.
Well thats it for now....Until Dukey Drops again....Much Love....
