walking tall

I'm watching the movie Walking Tall starring the Rock right now. I just saw the scene where he walks into a casino with a 2x4 and starts beating people down. He takes down over 5 grown men with weapons. The Rock is a beast.

playoffs

The NBA playoffs will be starting pretty soon. The Pistons are the number one team in the Eastern Conference and will have home court advantage all through the Eastern Conference playoffs. The top three teams in the Western Conference are Dallas, Phoenix, and San Antonio. If the Pistons make it to the NBA Finals they will most likely be playing one of these three teams. The playoffs are very exciting and I cannot wait until they start.

last week of school

This is the start of my last week of my first year of college. Luckily all my final exams will be finished before finals week. Now I am going to finish school a week earlier than most students. I'm very excited to be finishing my first year. Hopefully I can finish this year with pretty decent grades. My first semester I had a 3.0 but I do not think I will have that high of a GPA for this semester.
The summer is going to last all the way until September. I am going to have over four months worth of summer vacation. This is going to be the best summer of my life. I cannot wait until this last week of school is over. The best feeling is finishing the last day of school for the summer.

castaway

Right now I am watching the movie Castaway starring Tom Hanks. The movie is about a man who worked for a shipping company. He was on a plane for work when it crashed over the ocean. He ends up stranded on an island all by himself. The movie is pretty sweet. If I were to end up stranded on an island, I would hope that some hot chick would be stranded with me. It would suck to be on an island all by yourself. I'm sure a person would get depressed living all by themself on an island.

tigers and pistons

The Detroit Tigers and the Detroit Pistons both had games today. The Pistons were playing the Cleveland Cavailiers. Their star player is Lebron James. The game came all the way down to the last couple minutes and the Pistons pulled through and won. Right now the Pistons are the first place team from the Eastern Conference. The Tigers also had a game today. They played the Kansas City Royals. I started watching the game in the 9th inning. The Tigers were down 2-0 at this point. The Tigers got two men on base and Pudge Rodriguez cranked a home run to go up 3-2. The game ended with that score and the Tigers are now 3-2 on the season. Today was a good day for Detroit sports.

second blog for final paper

My thesis statement for the last paper is as follows. Since Trenton could not pass a bond recently, their schools have been affected greatly. Basically I want to talk about how the city of Trenton was affected due to a bond failing to pass. I'm still working on my thesis and might not use the one given in this paragraph. Here is a list of a few websites I will be using to do my research.

3 more weeks of school

There are only 3 weeks left of my first year of college. This year went by pretty fast. Now there are only 3 more weeks left until I get over 3 months off. This will be my longest summer vacation since in highschool I didn't finish the school year until the middle of June. I plan on working right when I get out of school. I want to make a lot of money this summer so I can enjoy it the best way possible.
