The First of Eighteen

Hey there,

This is my first post.  I'm, as my profile, URL, and blog title state, Kevin Rutan.  This Fall marks the beginning of my last year at the University of Iowa and it has been great, but I am ready to move on.  I am grateful, however, for what I've gained here in every facet of my life, especially in the academic realm thanks to the UIs' writing programs.

Currently, I'm pulling everything together to prep for Graduation and more importantly, for what comes after.  My plans are to take the LSAT in the Fall and hopefully get accepted somewhere.  You know, anywhere that will have me haha.  Ostensibly, that will buy me 3 more years of the limbo between High School and the working world.  With the slew of medical advances that explode every week and the dwindling social security I will probably have to work 60 years before I can retire so i am, for good reason, in no rush to finish.  

Oh, and I am currently employed at Sprint so if anyone needs a phone feel free to ask.  I work for commission only so I'd love to sell you one.  Essentially, you get a good deal and I hopefully get to pay rent : )  Anyways, I'm not trying to make this a plug, just thought it was funny.  I always inundate myself in my work, whatever it is, and cell phones have become a large part of my daily life, especially online.  

This is the phone I want.  It's the new Palm Pre, pretty much blows the Iphone out of the water, but to each his own.  

Now, I suppose I should stop running off on tangents and get to the point.  With the Wimbledon coming up I chose Tennis and essentially any of the hype that will be surrounding it.   I've found a great blog that has the collective TV schedule and an aggregation of everything Tennis along with articles, videos, and a multitude of other great sources for anyone who's interested. 

Right now, the sports news, well the tiny blip allotted to tennis, is a flurry with Roger Federer, obviously.  He's won his 14th major and that is crazy.  Anyways, Nike made a pretty funny video and it's on Youtube so I'll post a link.  It's called "The Roger Federer Equation" and it's, well, you'll see. 

That's all for now.
