This post is fully and 110% dedicated to my little brother, Kevin J. Ives.
I learned that Smash is a videogame released about a year ago. Basically people just try to take each other out. Sounds like just about every other game.....except guitar hero. There's no violence in that one.
When? Satuday.
I feel like my horizons are broadened. None of us are your stereotypical Greek students....or even Geek students for that matter. Ever
yone has their own special talents. And no matter how nerdy they might appear to the outside world, I think they're pretty darn cool.
Amy and I reached a conclusion. We miss the days old days when we were kids. We had a little elementary/junior high throw back this weekend. Friday was spent at the movies watching Hannah Montana and slipping on slurpies. Then Saturday was spent at the above event along with the cousin's aau tourney afterwards. It was a flashback to our days of aau basketball and j.o. volleyball. Those days...the ones we had prior to this stress of life.
It's been quite some time since I've posted anything....oops. But I have decided that I probably should since this blog will be what I use when I'm in Costa Rica to keep family & friends updated.
You know how there are certain things you see in movies, read about in books, and only hear stories about? Well Amy and I got to experience one of these events for ourselves. 
What? Smash Tournament.
Translation: Nerd Fest 2009.

Where? Springfield.
After Amy and I got in the creepy, talking elevator and made it to the basement, this is what we saw. 25 tvs, wiis, and about 100 people. All coming together to determine who is the best Smash player of the Midwest.
When? Satuday.
Who? Men and possibly some women from all over the Mid West.
Representing Butler University were 2 men of Sigma Nu. Kevin and Albert. Kevin basically tore it up all day long. Best player in Indiana. Albert lost in doubles due to the fact that he killed his own partner.
Like any other human being, Amy and I had certain expectations going into this. We expected to see capes, plastic swords, and mainly just capes. Instead, we saw power ranger shirts, pilot goggles, and that---->
Enough said.

All this makes me remember how much I miss everything and everyone in the great state of OHIO.
