College

Over winter break I was watching this show called Skins, it is a hilarious but also gut wretchingly sad and it is about a group teenager that are in high school (college) in Bristol England. Anyway at the end of the show all the teenagers split up to go to University and to pursue careers somewhere else. The moral of the story is that I came to the realization that I will be doing the same at the end of this year. How I will be moving away from a lot of my best friends and my family to follow new paths and to go to University. When this first came to me I found this really worrying, but after talking to a lot of my friends I came to the final decision that this really would not be that bad. Sure I might miss some of my friends for a while, but I will just have to make new friends and to meet new people. Overall I think I am really looking forward to new begins somewhere else.Other than that idea my winter break was alot of fun and although I did not do much it was still fun to have a break. If you guys have any thoughts on your University experience please feel free to tell me.

Some New Events

Some new events in my life. The first one being that I got this huge show at the world cafe live in philly playing jazz music. This is by far the biggest and the most prestigious show have ever played. Some the songs we will be playing are some assorted Christmas song, Fly me to the moon by Frank Sinatra, girl from Ipanema by Stan Getz, and Valerie by Amy Whinehouse. It is a 30 minute set and this band it probably the best band and the most challenging band I have been in. The second big event in my life is I got accepted to the University of Maine. Although I might not go to this college, it still is a great opportunity and defiantly a really great feeling to be accepted to a college. Overall I can't wait for the challenge ahead.

Fake News

DISCLAIMER: Please do not take this story seriously IT IS A FAKE NEWS STORY

Today, we are here to discuss the facts, Texas is a third world country. Every year texas has tried to succeed from the union, but this year they finally have. They petitioned congress and now become its own country. We have always known this would happen but now it finally has. Sadly though there have already been reports of mass immigration from texas to the rest of the united states because of this decision. The only people who we still be living in Texas is the Bush family and the Cheney, Lance Armstrong, Sandra Bullock, and the Dallas Cowboys. The good thing is that the Cowboys can’t make it to the super bowl because they are not part of the country. We have also gotten news from inside the new country from our special texas correspond Beau Beaufort. He is quote as saying “ Here in Texas we are glad to succeed, even though we are official won of the poorest countries in the world. We are also experiencing won of the worst famines in our history we have seen a massive increase in crime and death in our great new nation.” Sadly Beau was shot and killed a few moments after he gave that quote.

Texas has also currently renamed itself Texlandia and its national animal is the donkey. This is one of the most controversial moves in the history of the world. In the US capital they are still discussing whether or not to invade the new country. It is scary to think that we will have another civil war. Texlandia is already been in contact with the UN to get humanitarian aid, although the US is blocking the borders in the new country. Overall most countries in the world have already created an embargo with the newborn country. Texas will always be Texas, there's no stopping this redneck paradise from prosperity.     

Looking back on the Election

This years election is just crazy. I can't believe that Trump actually one, everyone had predicted Clinton. For me I feel like Trump could be ok or crash and burn and nowhere in between. As seen in Glendale blog we have to give him a chance. Although I say this though my teeth cause I absolutely hate everything about Donald Trump, expect for his stance on marijuana. This just goes to show that the US is unhappy with the political situation right now and they want a more racist Ronald Reagan. Hopefully this will only last 4 years and hopefully this is not a huge dramatic change from Obama, but I have a feeling it will be. As the famous Micheal Moore once said "It is the final stand of the Angry White man," I believe this to be true . I also believe that if the DNC nominated Bernie Sanders instead of Hillary Clinton it would have been an entirely different election. Overall no matter what we will have Donald racist, sexist, money grabber Trump as our next President. As much as I hate that fact I don't have a choice. If you disagree with me or want to give your own opinion in the comments section below. Looking forward to seeing what you guy say, Jeremy Cleghorn.

My Try at Creative Writing

This week I will be trying my hand at creative writing. So lets start. The story begins in a time where Elephants ruled the earth, they had taken to power because of the human race's complete inability to stop climate change. They had enslaved the human race, and put them to work fixing climate change. There leader was Al Gore, once human; now Elephant human hybrid. He had been in charge of the Elephant race for to long, the humans needed to step up and that is when our hero Jon, a young man leading a rebellion against the evil elephant tyranny. He was the only one that could stand up and unite the people. When he set up attacks on the Elephants nothing seemed to work, until march 29 2080 he finally found the break he sought for. This happened during their plan to capture Al Gore. The rebels had set up a snare with a pile of Bananas as bait, but at the last second the rope of the snare broke and Jon had to fix the rope and time it just right to snare Al Gore. This took a great amount of concentration, and thankfully they caught the Elephant leader. By doing this they freed the Human Race. Thanks guys for listening.

The Election

We are now 5 days from the day our country will experience one of the biggest changes in 8 years. The years under the Obama administration we have seen a better economy, universal health care, low unemployment, and reopened trade with Cuba. Although Obama has his critics, he has been a good president for our current country. However how will these new candidates compare to Obama? To break down the two candidates, Hillary Clinton is the democratic candidate, who wants to keep the majority of Obama's ideals and plans, but she has her faults with the email scandal and the Clinton foundation controversy. While Trump on the other hand wants to build a wall, rip up the North American Free Trade Act, and stop immigration entirely. Trump also has his extreme faults that for most candidates would crash and burn if this was any other election, for example promoting racism, being extremely sexist, and having at least a dozen rape allegations against him.

Overall you have probably figured out who I am supporting, but I don't want to offend any one, the strange thing is in America we can not talk about these thing without the conversation getting out of control. Well anyway thanks for listening feel free to comment with your ideas about this election.
