To Cosign or Not to Cosign That is The Question

I have an hour and a half break this quarter between my two morning classes so I’ve taken this time to update my log. I talked to my brother last night and, I should have seen this coming, he asked me to cosign for him so he can get a bike. Yes of course a bike, can he be a little bit less like what is “in” right now. One of his closest friend got a bike this Christmas and I am sure that this was the motivational factor to all of this, so of course I lectured him on it, and he seems determined to getting a bike. I’m a little bit hesitant because one of my good friends roommate got killed in a motorcycle accident, and me agreeing to this will put the burden on me if something bad were to happen to my brother. As always I like to keep an open mind, so I told him the different cons for him getting a bike. He still has time to think about it, I just hope he can come to his senses (which I doubt). I think bikes are fun and exciting and if he does decide to get the bike I will love to ride it but I just think that he should think about it before he spends a lot of money on something he doesn’t really need. I know my brother is a victim of society’s materialistic pressures and he is easily persuaded but I think I have a bigger influence on him then society itself. I just hope nothing bad happens to him, although the odds are for him and I know that the possibility is unlikely, but there is the possibility and that is what has me scared. My dilemma is whether I should cosign for him or not, so I’ll think about this and I hope I come out with the best decision.

Now for today’s championship match
Hmm let’s see, USC or Texas. I am a newly NCAAF fanatic since my Green Bay Packers sucked again this season. I still do enjoy watching Farve go for a long bomb when its 3rd and inches but that’s not merely enough to win football games, so I’ve decided to jump on to the band wagon of the winning local team. For my prediction for the Rose Bowl is that USC is going diminish the Longhorns hopes of actually winning a championship. Matt Leinart is going to be his same old self, and Reggie will contribute as he always does.
