Summer is finally on it's way. The weather is getting nicer and brighter, as well as my mood. This winter was really rough as we all know, and it really took a toll on me. I'm very excited for summer so i can relax get a break from school, and finally enjoy some nice weather. I can already picture all the swimming, barbecues, and pick-up softball games my friends, family, and I are going to participate in.
This time last year, I was the most excited I have ever been in my life. This is because last summer I was part of a shore house, where I lived all summer. Me and all my friends barely payed attention in class, because the only thing we could think of was the shit we were going to get into that summer. Just as expected, me and all my friends had the summer of our lives, and I dont regret a second of it.
It is kind of upsetting that I am not going to be living down the shore this summer. I definitly think I can survive another summer down there, and would love to do it all over again. On the bright side, I'm sure I will still have a lot of fun this summer, all due to the fact that I have the best family and friends around.

One of Those Days
Today I woke up, and even know I slept for a decent seven hours, it felt like I only slept for a couple minutes. I just had one of those feelings that it wasn't my day. I shook the feeling off and jumped in the shower and got my day started. As I stepped outside, to be on my way to school, I realized that although it was the last day of March, it still felt like the first day of February. This weather of late really puts me in shit moods.
As always, on my way to school I got stuck around a bunch of terrible drivers, which added to my frustration. I got to school and headed to my class, it began to rain. The rain didn't just symbolize what a shitty day it was, it also made my faulty right knee hurt. When I got to my first class, my head then began to ache. Shit, this just wasn't my day. Someone up above really jut didn't want me to be in a good mood.
Instead of giving in to my misfortunes, I carried on with my day like it was any other bright sunny day. My headache just made me feel alive. My knee simply went to the back of my thoughts. I aced the test I had with perfection, and the rain served as a refreshing spritz of energy awakening me from a rough start to my day. I try to keep my head up and look at the upsides of things. I find this a good way to live.

A Good Movie
A good movie is hard to come by anymore. I feel like every time I watch a movie, I've seen it before and their always predictable. Every movie these days has a picture perfect ending, which is always a feel good touch, but I'm fucking tired of the same shit. Jokes over, life is not perfect in any way, in fact life really sucks. I don't want to see the same couple meets, they run into a stupid problem, then they get back together in the end and kiss. If that's what the ending of your movie is going to be, then at least show them fucking. I'm personally bored of the same dramatic kissing scene, with some beautiful scene in the background.
Another thing that irks me is that every movie feels the need to have a love story tied into it. I love a good romantic comedy or drama but sometimes a love story is completely unnecessary. Take Black Hawk Down, for example, it was a decent movie but was ruined by the love story tied into it. One of my favorite movies is the classic One Flew Over the Coo Coos Nest, which has no love story tied in at all. It sticks to the main theme of how crazy people are and it doesn't throw in some cute couple who nobody really gives two shits about.
In contrast you can have a great movie, with a love story, but just have the love story a small part. A great example of this is Good Will Hunting, one of my absolute favorites. The movie is about the main character, Will, being guided by a mentor into using his unique gift of knowledge for good. Their is a love story tied in this movie, but it isn't focused on too much and it is used to show Will's fear of accepting things.
The fact that I'm tired of the same old typical movies has lead me to watching mostly Independent Films. This has gone well for me because most of these films have different and interesting ideas, which stray away from typical cliches.

Crazy
As someone who works in a nursing home, I see crazy people all the time. At first, seeing all the old crazy people used to depress me somewhat, but now I've grown immune to it. When i go to the health care area of the retirement home I work in, I see the craziest of crazy people. It is literally like I step into a scene from One Flew Over the Coo Coos Nest. From the lady who constantly screams for help, to the lady with one leg, one eye, calls everyone Susie, and forgets her room number every five seconds, I see my fair share of disturbing characters.
When I run into people like this I can only hope that my loved ones or even myself never turn out like them. I can't imagine pushing my neurotic mother around one of these foul smelling nursing homes, as she talks nonsense that only makes sense to her. It's quite a scary thought if you think about it.
I do think everyone is crazy in a way, though. Everyone has their weird fetish, habit, or hobby, but most people just tend to hide it better. I think the more I am around people, the more crazy I find out they are. I, myself, do some strange things that I would never do in the presence of others. So the way I look at it, were all fucking crazy, so should we judge others for things they do. In my mind, yes we should, because it's too much fun, but that's your choice to make.

Flyers
One of my favorite things to do after a long day of school, work, and/or going to the gym is relaxing and watching the Philadelphia Flyers. I have been watching them for as long as I remember, and I am a die hard fan. My father got me into watching them when I was a toddler, and I've been watching them since. Usually, if he stays awake til game time, I watch the games with my dad. Were both busy people and we don't get a lot of time together, so enjoying the game together is always a good time to bond.
I love watching hockey, probably more than any other sport. It is such a fast paced and rough sport. Another thing I appreciate about it, is the lack of breaks and commercials. I love watching an intense football gameas much as any other testerone filled man, but I think we can all agree it goes by way too slow. I watch the Flyers so much, that I feel a bond with all their players. I feel as if there my friends, and when they score, I cheer them on, as if one of my buddies just scored in a pick up game at a nearby playground.
I just got done watching tonights Flyers game. It was dissapointing to say the least. They did come back from a three goal deficet, then take the lead, all just to blow it in the end, and lose in a shut out. They played a decent game, but had some weak goaltending. They did fight though, which they always do. I guess that's just part of their charm.
GO FLY GUY!

REALLY?
I'm sure most of yous already heard this new terrible Internet craze, Rebecca Black. If you haven't here's her terrible new song called Friday:
Yea, I know, it's fucking atrocious. It makes me sad that this is what music is today. I'm personally a huge fan of music. I listen to good music any chance I get. I even have a radio in my bathroom so I can break out some vocals while showering.
Rebecca is a thirteen year old girl from god knows where, who should definitely not even be aloud out past 8, let along have a upcoming music career. Like many others, when I first heard this song, I was confident that it was a joke, but it appears to be a serious song. Quite genius if you ask me, because although it is god awful, it is getting a lot of plays on the Internet. Everyone knows about this song. Shit, I'm even helping the cause with this blog.
After discovering Rebecca, I suddenly have a new respect for Justin Bieber. Although he is too young and immature to be filthy rich, he does have some talent, unlike this fiend.
Now let me get into the idea of this song; partying on Friday. Bitch, you are thirteen, you better not be "partying". Also who wrote this song, a fucking 5 year old? I know she's only thirteen, but I think she could get a little more creative, we all know the days of the fucking week, but thanks for the reminder. How the fuck are her and her little 12 year old friends cruising around town? They shouldn't even be aloud to play driving video games, let alone have a car and a driver license. Do I have to say anything about the middle aged black man, who does a rap in the middle of the song. He did give us a break from her ear piercing vocals, however how does he know about this party that all the toddlers are going to? Weird.
So, if today's society doesn't learn what good music is, and stop supporting this excrement, this is the type f nonsense were gonna have to listen to.

Bombs
So the United States, along with a few other countries, just bombed the shit out of Libya. I hate to say it, but it was well deserved. Their leader, whatever his name is, is simply a nut case. This does scare me somewhat since he is throwing threats at the countries who did bomb, but I'm not too scared, because I am part of the strongest nation in the world. We've been attacked before on September 11th, and soon after we flexed our muscle and took down the imbecile, Saddam Hussein. During this hard time I feel America was stronger than ever. The Libyan leader does not scare me at all. He is a puny little kid compared to the big strong giant that is the United States.
One thing that does hit home is; the fear I have for our courageous troops, who will be risking their lives for our precious country. My own cousin is schedule to be deployed some time next year, so I hope we go in and rape the leaders we need to and get out quick. U.S. troops are nothing short of heroes when it comes to times like these, and that's why they need all the love and support we can give them.
BE SAFE BOYS.
