Fredette is the Truth

Does Lloyd Jr's new haircut count as an extreme hairstyle? Either way, I'm a fan. March Madness is the best time of the year at our place-John-Mark and I currently find ourselves in one of WVU Law's classrooms, watching BYU get blown out on our lap tops.
Some people think it an indication of great things to come that they were born under a particular zodiac sign...with J-M, he was able to start out on a path of destiny because he was born during the height of the Madness. If I'm not able to plan anything exciting for his birthday, I can let it go knowing that he'd probably rather be watching basketball anyway.
The "life lessons" John-Mark is able to glean from the game of basketball astound me. I'm currently learning to cheer for the underdog-whether it wrecks my bracket or not. John-Mark had Kansas winning like everyone else (with the exception of .4% of the country, I hear) tonight, yet cheered for Northern Iowa because it's the right thing to do. Selflessness, I tell you. Forget the bracket. Forget personal fame. Cheer for Northern Iowa's 2 days in the spotlight. (This is probably why I've beat him in Bracketology every year since we've met, but still...point taken, J-M).
