Currin!

Get over yourself! I mean come on; you post a blog asking people to say whether or not you are a big deal. Obviously if you are asking for people to write about you being a big deal then I don’t think you are. I feel like someone that is a big deal is someone that others talk about without asking them to. Maybe I am wrong, but this is just the way I see it. Sorry if that offends some people, but that is the truth in my opinion. Actually this person probably could be a big deal in their own mind obviously. I just am not sure if they are a big deal in the minds of other people. I would say in order to be a big deal. You need to be humble, not go to Buffalo State College, not go to St. Francis High School, never live in Angola, and never date a college basketball player’s sister. It is really weird because I feel like I just described someone I really know. Oh god I really hope they are not reading this. The moral of the story is that I don’t think Mr. Currin is a big deal. Ouch, that hurts. Okay not for the real part of this blog. To be honest, Mr. Currin is a big deal. I know that he has had a huge impact on my life, and he is a great role model for every student in this school. He has a personality that everyone has fun with, and he is one of the hardest workers in this school. He is a great coach, a great teacher, and even a better person. I am looking forward to having two more years with him. I can’t wait for what the next two years brings. Mr. Currin is a big deal!

R1 End of Year

The best part about the end of the school year is the fact that all the stress and deadlines are almost done with. I would say that it can be difficult at times with the amount of work we have at school. I am not saying that the work load is always a lot, but at times it becomes stressful. I think that the feeling of not having to get something done by a deadline really is a great feeling. Knowing that this is nearby really makes me want to wrap up this school year. Summer is always great because of so many reasons. The warm weather, the free time, the preparation for football, and much more makes the summer a great time of the year. Then end of the school year almost feels like summer in a way because all sports are done so after school there is nothing to do besides go home or work out. One thing that I love about the end of the year is that I really get an opportunity to put my nose to the grindstone. My intense period of training for football starts right about now, so it safe to say this is a fun time of the year for me and many others. I have a couple of exams coming up that I am not looking forward to. It is going to take a lot of work to get good grades on them, so this means I am going to have to stay after a couple times for review. This will stink, but I just have to get it done. The end of the year has a lot of parts to look forward to, and there are some parts that I don’t look forward to. Last year we got to play dodgeball at the end of the year which was really fun. If we do that again this year, it would be awesome!

Q5

Really!? All I hear about is how all of these analysts on ESPN talk about how great the NBA is. Basically I just hear so many good things about the NBA, and to be honest it makes me sick! The NBA is absolutely pathetic in my eyes. There is no strategy in the NBA. It is a complete pick and roll game. Nobody plays defense until the playoffs, and that is extremely annoying. I can also prove this too. How come during the regular season the scores of games are over 100? Honestly I couldn’t tell you the answer to this. Mystically though, when the playoffs start the scores of games are in the 70’s. Does this mean that players all of a suddenly just start missing shots? No it clearly means that teams just turn up the defense when it matters. The NBA is a joke and the competitiveness is horrible in a lot of cases. In the Eastern Conference you have maybe three teams that are contenders. The Western Conference is competitive. Back to the East though, the best team lost their stud in the first game, and then they lose the series in 5 games. So really there are only two legit teams in the East, and one of them is quite old. The team that everyone loves is the Miami Heat of course because they have this so called “Big Three.” I think the Big three is also a joke. I will save my Lebron bashing for another day because I will definitely need a whole blog for it. I am not a big Lebron fan, but it doesn’t matter. I really just don’t like the NBA, and I thought this was a good time to pour out some of my feelings about it.  I have a strong dislike against the NBA! It is time where the game makes a change!

Q3 Romeo and Juliet?? Ehhh I Suppose

I really couldn’t tell you what the best book I have ever read is in English class. There have been so many books I have read; it is all kind of a blur to me. Yes I am aware that is not a good thing at all considering the fact that I have an exam that asks questions about these books. I suppose if I had to pick one book to talk about and write about, I could. I am almost certain that there are a ton of people who know a ton about Romeo and Juliet because it is such a popular and famous work by the William Shakespeare. Even though I didn’t understand his old school lingo, I thought it was a pretty good story. If it wasn’t for Miss Weisbeck I probably wouldn’t have understood many parts about the story because she would interpret so many lines. This was a good book though, and it was very easy to get into. I also liked the fact that we got to watch the movie with it. This book dealt with two groups that did not get along at all. Two people fell in love, and they each belonged in the separate groups that didn’t get along. They ended up killing themselves which brought the groups together and ended the fighting. This is a story that many people remember because there are many people who consider this story to be the greatest love story of all time. I don’t believe I am qualified to make this judgment due to the fact I have not read many love stories. I do believe this is one of the better stories I have ever read in English class though. At the end of the day, I can say I remember liking a lot of stories I read, just at the moment I am remembering what every story was about.

Buffalo Fans

Really!? I will be honest and say that I am very excited for the upcoming NFL season. I think the Buffalo Bills have great potential and it will be a great season. I felt like last year was going to be a good season, and it started off that way, but the Bills had a second half collapse during the season. When this happened there were so many people who said how the Bills stink, and they will never win. Basically, those people didn’t even consider themselves fans of the team anymore. So many people had negative views towards the Bills, and just stopped caring. Then there were people like me who have always stuck with the team even through the hard times. I am not like the other fans that give up, and just root for the Bills when they are good. That would be called bandwagon fans, and it is not good to be a bandwagon fan. Sometimes I compare these people to the people of Rome in the Julius Caesar time period. They were very fickle which means they change their mind and views very often. Sometimes I fell this word summarizes some of us Buffalo fans. I do not find this to be good at all. This past March, the Bills go out and sign Mario Williams! They make him the highest paid defensive player ever in the NFL! When this occurs, everyone now loves the Bills and “they are going to the Superbowl, I love them.” Those are the things I would hear after this. All I can do when this happens is shake my head. Then when I didn’t think it could get any worse, I was wrong. The Bills go out and sign former Heisman Trophy winner, Vince Young. The fans were all over this as now they just go on to say we are for sure going to be right there. I agree with the fact that we will be good, but really is the backup QB the difference? Buffalo fans need to get their stuff together.

Q2 Summer!!!

I have to say I honestly cannot wait for this summer just like everybody else in this school. I am looking forward to being able to lie on a raft in my pool when it is 85 degrees. While that is going on, I will tell my mother to go make me a strawberry smoothie or something because yeah let’s just say I’m a boss, and I tell my mother whatever I want. Just kidding, I would never say that to my mother. I would tell her to go get me a mango smoothie! Okay for real now I was just kidding I would never speak to my mother like that. To be honest, I really do love spending time in my pool in the summer. It puts me in that relaxed mood that I just love. Also in the summer I will look forward to playing some video games in my man cave. For those of you who don’t know what the man cave is; it is the part of my house where I sleep and play video games. The best part about the man cave is that it has air conditioning. Yes, you must be invited to chill in the man cave. Sit back down everyone. Another part of this summer that will be brilliant will be the opportunity of getting another chance to win a state championship. Football games are not won of Friday nights, they are won in the off season. Well the summer is the heart of the off season, and my teammates and I have a lot of work to do. I can’t wait for workouts to get into full gear. I love working with my teammates to get better at football. This summer will also have a sad part to it that I will not be looking forward to. I made a lot of friends this year that are seniors. I hate having to say good bye when they go to college. Even though I will see them again and it’s good that they are going to do great things with their life, it is a change that stinks at first. I will miss a lot of my friends, but that’s just life. This summer will be a great time, and I am excited for it.

Brian's Bashing Again

Really!? Okay this Brian’s bashing is kind of just a bashing of everything to be honest. For those of you who are unaware, Mike Steffan has been placed off of editor probation. When he was on it he was humiliated by many people including myself and the Mr. Robert Currin of Angola, New York. Let me tell you a few things about Angola, New York. I am just kidding of course, I am not going to waste my time talking about that. Anyway, it was wrong of me to say some of the things I did about Mike. He is my friend, and he deserves more than that from me. I know many people feel the same way I do, and I am trying to think of a way I can make it up to my dear friend. I’ll think of something I’m sure. Switching to another topic now; this past week I went to open my locker in school. For those of you who don’t know, I still have my football sign on my locker which is how I figure out which locker is mine. I don’t ever pay attention to the number. Well last Friday I went to open my locker while a couple of my friends were just gathered around talking about whatever us high school kids do these days. When I attempted to open my locker, I failed. I didn’t worry about it; I just figured I put in the wrong combo. So I tried again and failed another time. That was unusual, but I figured I just made a mistake twice. Then it didn’t open the third time and I was getting extremely mad because I knew my locker was jammed. All my friends were around, and I would look like an idiot if I went to go get a janitor so this was not good. Then the situation got even worse because Mr. Currin suspiciously started walking down the hallway. When he looked at me he laughed so something was up. I also remember noticing how his AP Lit class was standing in the hallway for some reason. I couldn’t figure out what was up. Then the kid who has the locker next team was smarter than me. He came up and told me that the sign on my locker was moved one locker down. I just looked like an idiot. Then Ryan Snyder was making his smart remarks, and everybody was just Mr. Cool and had something funny to say. Thanks Amber Breyer! It was so funny! To wrap this up, Austin Hopcia was listening to Beyoncé in class, and someone turned his speaker up so everyone could hear it. Embarrassing but I feel for him!
