P1. Television

I usually watch a couple hours of television a night.  Usually from the time I get home, which varies from 5 to 6 each night.  I'll watch for an hour do some homework, eat some dinner, and then go back to the television or play some Xbox.   Play some MLB on box preferably, or once in a while play some Madden in my online franchise.  But, when I do decide to watch TV I have at least one show that is on per day.  Sunday used to have The Walking Dead on, but now that season has ended.  It also has Desperate Housewives which hasn't been on in a couple weeks for some reason.  Mondays, and majority of Tuesdays are comedy days.  How I Met Your Mother, Two and a Half Men, New Girl, and Cougar Town are all half hour shows that are on these two days.  I always find myself laughing hysterically most of the time watching all these shows, and they are very entertaining.  New Girl is probably my most favorite of these, and is also the newest, which could be the reason for it to be my favorite.  Tuesday now recently has also moved Private Practice over to this day from Thursday.  Thursday Night features Grey's Anatomy, The Office, and once in a while Rules of Engagement.  Although The Office is on my list, I don't really watch it that often for some reason.  Ever Since Michael left the show I haven't had as much of an interest as I usually would.  When I'm not watching these shows though it is usually sports all the time, once in a while some movies but mostly sports.  We have 4 working televisions in my house, one in the living room, the kitchen, my parents’ bedroom, and the basement.  There is also one in my room but that only has the ability to play Xbox on.  Television is a great thing as long as you don't get too much of it, and hopefully most kids don't so they can stay healthy.

O4. My Parents

My mother is a school teacher in the Sweet Home School District. She teaches in the 4th grade and is very beloved person in her school. My mom is also on the school board for Alden Education. She was just recently elected to the board within the last year or so. My mom once went to school here in Alden and graduated in the year of 1986. She is a very supportive and awesome mom, and I don't' think I could ever have any other mom that is better than her. Even though im sure most people would say that about theirs, it is the truth no matter what. And the same can be said for my father. My father was an electrician who had his own business but then gave it up once I was born. Now he works at Apple Rubber Products. He is one of the top people in his branch of his company and is a very important person in what goes on in his facility. My dad was once my coach in all three sports I play. He has coached me within the recreational programs for baseball, football, and basketball. The most important of those sports is baseball though because he is basically the sole reason for my love and interest of the game. All I try and do is make him proud each and everyday of my life, even though I don't always do the right thing or say the right thing, or always obey each and every order. I think the relationship between my parents and I are very good. I love them and they love me. I only have a couple more years in the house and my goal is to be the best son I can be and make the most of everything.

O3. Procrastinating

For my choice blog I am going to write about procrastinating. Procrastinating is basically when you put something off until the very last minute pretty much. And so the reason that I am going to write about this is basically because I had to write three blogs by midnight tonight on a day we didn't even have class. And I am not enjoying myself right not due to that. I have approximately an hour and a half to finish this blog and one more. Talk about waiting to the last minute huh? Usually I get my work done in class and this is the first time that I've had to do something for Online Publishing outside of class. In class, I do my work for the most part and have yet to miss a deadline on anything so far in this year. But it seems as though every due date, especially for blogs, I am racing to get them done all the way up until 2:25 when that bell rings. I don't really know why this happens to me like it feels like class and the class days go so much faster than they really should. Either way, doing my blogs isn't really the only thing I wait until the last second with. Like, for all my projects and homework, they don't really get done until the last second. I mean, I'm like up until 10:30, 11 o'clock at night so many times throughout the years. I really would like to start getting things done earlier. Maybe I wouldn't be so tired all the time and I wouldn't be struggling to get up in the morning all the time. Hopefully I will be able to get past this at some point in my life.

O2. Schooling

I think this is a very interesting article and topic. Most people wouldn't expect this going through their high school years not looking to go to college. Kids usually choose the road of not going to college for multiple reasons. Either they don't have the grades, they're parents own a business and they're looking to take over one day, or they don't know what they want to do yet and it's too late. I am going to go to college to pursue my dreams and try and get a good job and live a good and successful life. I would like to go to school to become either a journalist or a broadcaster, which is what I would like to major in. I'd like to become a sports anchor one day or maybe a commentator for a sport. Or even a journalist in the sports column of a big time newspaper or magazine. Or even get the chance to follow a team around and cover them. Hopefully the rest of my life will be good to me. I know I sure am looking forward to it. I have my life planned out, I even have some back-up plans if the first couple don't work. Schooling is one of the most important things that a person needs in life. You can't really do much without it. I feel almost every kid should get into school and pay attention to what is happening. I hope everyone gets everything they’ve wanted out of life. I know that the chances of that aren’t very high but if you put your best efforts into everything you do, there’s a good chance you will get something positive out of it. Good luck to everyone and hope you are successful in life.

O1. Guillen Makes a Big Mistake

I read over an article from espn.com regarding the issue of Ozzie Guillen, the Manager of the Miami Marlins.  The article was titled "Ozzie Guillen returns, changed?"  A week or so ago Guillen made a comment about Fidel Castro the former Prime Minister and President of Cuba.  A dictator who put the Cuban people in misery.  Anyways, Ozzie told made a statement to reporters that would change his life, and what people thought of him.  "I love Fidel Castro."  Those words put the people in Miami in a huge state of shock.  They couldn't believe it and turned against Ozzie.  A lot of angry people wanted him out, and angry mobs formed outside of the new stadium.  Guillen apologized a couple days later and felt terrible.  He felt as if he betrayed the entire city, and the entire Latino race.  Ozzie had a 50 minute long press conference to show how sorry he was.  His apology truly did come from the bottom of his heart as you could see the remorse in his face and in his eyes.  Major League Baseball gave him a 5-game suspension that Ozzie has already served.  He returned to the diamond earlier this week, and surprisingly things were normal around.  The cops didn't have any mad men looking for trouble with him.  Just a usual day at the ballpark.  Only thing different was the attendance of the, which was expected though especially as it was a weeknight game.  Ozzie Guillen has always been a head case and is known to do dumb things, but this is by far his worst.  He has put himself on his own probation and is looking to gain the trust back from the fans and the people within the organization.  Guillen will have to do everything to keep quiet for a while.
