Sick 'n A Basket!!!

Whats Goin' On My Aggies?!! It's ya homie, ya bro, ya fan: T.J.
Coming at you with another post straight of the press Y'all!!!

Hey Y'all if you guessed it by the title of this one then your right. This is my sick week! It's never really fun to be sick during the semesters especially if your an out of state student like me because that means the only taking care I will be doing is of myself. I came down with what seemed like a cold and I can't seem to shake it off!!!
Luckily for me I pay student fees which means I have access to the Student Health & Wellness Center where REAL DOCTORS & NURSES work. I have an appointment set up for this week to go see the Doc and hear what he has to say about my condition (hopefully good news!!!)
Me Decked Out @ the Aggie Game
Honestly though, if you thought I was gonna let some silly cold stop me from writing to you guys & gals about what happened to me this weekend you were wrong!!! So this weekend the Aggies cam back for a two game home stand against conference foes Hawai'i & San Jose State. So you already know I had to press my way to both of those games for sure! So for the latter game against San Jose State I was invited to shoot a free throw shot during one of the time outs in the game to win a prize worth $$$!!! So long story short, I was nervous like my alarm clock is the second before it has to wake me up. I got onto the threshing floor, or as I sometimes call it the SANCTUARY! (when in all reality it's the Spectrum floor) and I waited for the announcer to say my name and to go. I only had one shot, one opportunity, to seize everything I ever wanted jk =) I tried to get the crowd involved and hyped for me. I took a deep breath then exhaled, released my shot and it CUFFED in the basket!!! I won my prize and it completely made my weekend!
Gosh, how I luv being an AGGIE!!!

STAY TUNED NEXT WEEK WHEN WE FIND T.J. ... just kidding Y'all

Be Encouraged!!!

ARTS WEEK 2012 HOLD UP, HOLD UP, WHOA DEAR!

What's Goin' on Guys & Girls! It's me, Ya Artist, Ya Soulful Voice, Ya Pianoman: T.J.
I'm coming at you with another post!!!

I hope all is well, and if your like me your trying to get this semester started off on the right foot! Good luck to all of you as you start this new semester.
This week is ARTS WEEK! Utah State University’s 8th College: Caine College of the Arts (CCA) will be celebrating it's 2nd Annual Arts Week 2012. With a variety of artistic events, including theatre performances, concerts, art exhibits and a networking event, this week is meant to connect people and programs throughout the community.

So honestly if I had to choose, I would say my favorite part of Arts Week is the last night of the week when they host the ARTS Gala Concert!!! This is like a BIG Concert, with Choirs, Bands, Orchestra, Painting, Drama, Dance, and MORE!!! There will also be some surprise guest coming to perform though out the week such as Kalai, Christiane Noll, and MORE!!! I would encourage you all to come make the drive to Logan for this event on FRIDAY, and if you are already on campus then you better already have your ticket!

LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST, 
At the next Aggie home basketball game next Thursday the CCA will be taking over the SPECTRUM!!! HALFTIME will be GAME-TIME for the ARTS!!! So YOU BETTER BE THERE!!!

Well that's away more excitement than I can handle but I am so excited!!!
Until my next installment,
Be Encouraged!

This Journey Called "Spring Semester", Winter Break, & a public service announcement/ warning against Senoritis =)

WELCOME BACK AGGIES! WHAT'S GOIN' ON?!
Ya Boii, Ya Nephew, Ya Cuzzi, comin' at you with the first post in the New Year 2012!!!
Oh What's Up Aggie Blue Empire State Building?!
I hope all is well with you and your grades ;)
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!
Welp, its that time of the year where students are eager to get back to school. With winter break now a distant memory and classes are a renewed pastime =) it is time to get back down to work!
This winter break I went back home to the NYC! Spent time with my family and friends. I love and miss everyone of them, but don't get me wrong I missed Utah State & everyone here as well! The last time I spent some time in the city was last year's Christmas Break so it was different for me to be back in the city, because I almost forgot where everything was =). While I was home, I couldn't help but reflect on my last semester in High-school. I remember when classes started back up after winter break, and there was this unspoken cloud of "senoritis" hovering over us for the rest of that year 'till we graduated. I say this to encourage myself, my followers and my readers no matter where in your schooling you have to FINISH!!! That means even if your sure that you have graduation in the bag don't start to slow down, but instead use this semester and time in your life to continually increase your successes. Just finish what you started! Well I can't wait for you guys to see my new videos that will be coming out the next months. I want to thank you as well for sticking with me and reading what I have to say. So now lets embark on this journey called "Spring Semester"!

Good Luck This Semester and as always
Be Encouraged!
