Dirty Vegas, what happened to you
anyways, days do go by, and fast. it seems just yesterday it was mid January, and i was getting ready to begin semester 2 of sophomore year. I was so eager to get back into the swing of history. but now i look back and feel like ive been back for a week or two.
Junior year is right around the corner, and i guarantee im not the only one who feels like were going too quick. in a week, i will be finishing my sophomore year. that means i am going to be halfway done with college. this is unreal.
i guess i have grad school to look forward to. but, Gettysburg can wait.
One thing im looking forward to is in my senior year, the University at Albany football team will break out of the FCS (formerly Div 1AA) ranks and go to Ohio to play the new-found powerhouse University of Cincinatti.
This is major for a small ass SUNY school. the Bearcats play at Nippert Stadium which has a capacity of 35,097 people. this is a huge difference from University Field's 10,000 (but averages like maybe 1500 per game)
Personally, i would have schedueled a game against our sister University at Buffalo which has an Up-and-coming program. Not to mention the jump to 1A before playing any real 1AA teams (Villanova, Richmond, James Madison, Appalachian State, Montana, etc) is a bit far fetched.
but enough about sports.
I feel like a freshmen still, well, not so much financially, after 37,000 dollars being paid so far.
I will more than likely stay in the Albany area after graduating from Gettysburg College.
anyways, if you feel like i do, or even disagree, please comment, or ask questions. thank you,
have a great night.

BOMB!
The night is a bomb blast, the night is on fire
these words spoken by Gavin Rosdale and the other fine musicians in the band Bush.
Earlier this week, i heard some startling news. By the year 2015, the nation of Iran has the knowledge and power to create an ICBM (or Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile) that has the capability of reaching the United States. This technology will be available for them to use (which we all know they will) by 2015.
What does this mean for America?
it can mean 2 things.
Either were FUCKED!!!!!!!!!!!, or we have to do something. and by we i mean not only Obama and the States, but Brown, the PM of England, and anybody else who feels that freedom is sacred. (ie France, Germany, etc)
obviously talking to them (the terrorists that control Iran) is not enough. Israel can no longer be the only ones to care about the fate of the World. we can not rely on the hope that they wont use it, because we all know Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the leader of Iran is a fucking PSYCHO!
During the election for a new President of Iran, Ahmadinejad was given a tight race by challenger Mir-Hossein Mousavi. there was a huge controversy over the results of the election. Many believe that the results were falsified in favor of Ahmadinejad. Mousavi's loss meant more years of threat and terror for the US and our allies.
As of right now, this is all i know, if anybody knows more, please feel free to tell me, or if anything in here is false, again, tell me.
thank you

The Pot
Who am i to wave my finger, a concerned citizen. thats who. numerous times today i was told to have a happy 4:20.
my first comment, how can the day be happy, if i need to poison myself with a toxin to feel good about the day. today is not a holiday, its another reason for retards to smoke pot. im not badmouthing everybody who smokes weed. while i am against it, there are some people who partake in activities that are productive members of society.
there is a joke that tomorrow is national drug test day. im sad this is a joke. honestly, i think that there should be harsher punishments for people caught using pot.
second comment, does anybody actually know the meaning of 4:20. i know i dont. my thought is that people now a days just blindly follow trends. until college i was unaware how many people smoke pot. now that im here, i wonder why all these people are smoking it. this does not mean im interested in trying it, im just befuddled by the fact that people need a chemical to make them happy.
Am i aware that all of my favorite musicians use drugs, same with authors, actors, etc. i am. do i condone it, absolutely not.
now, about medical marijuana, i am against this. this is just a reason for people to toke it up. are you going to tell me that there is no other medicine that will reduce if not remove the pain or cause. as a former biology major, i can confidently say that i trust the AMA to give me medicine, that isnt thc based.
i dont know if people know this, but thc, the chemical found in marijuana is a form of acid. thats right. similar to LSD. it slows reactions. it is claimed that marijuana is non addictive. i know people who habitually need to get a fix of the ganja. i dont know about you, but i call that addiction. people say that they are better drivers when they are high, must be shitty drivers to begin with.
i can not find one logical excuse for why marijuana, or any other drug for that matter should be legalized, or even decriminalized. feel free to try and prove me wrong. until then, have a good night.

A Day to Remember
11 years ago today, Dylan Klebold, and Eric Harris, 2 troubled teens woke up and embarked on a mission. their mission, to spread fear and hatred. upon entering Columbine High School that day, they knew there was no turning back. armed with guns, on this day, Hitlers Birthday, and a holiday to stupid stoners everywhere, they decided to open fire on the school students, and faculty. 13 lives were taken on that day.
for the families of : Cassie Bernall, Steve Curnow, Corey DePooter, Kelly Fleming, Matt Kechter, Daniel Mauser, Daniel Rohrbough, Rachel Scott, Isiah Shoels, John Tomlin, Lauren Townsend, Kyle Velazquez, and Dave Sanders, life will never be the same. we also cannot forget, the shooters Klebold and Harris, turned the gun on themselves, and took their own lives. for everybody affected in this tragedy, i ask for a moment of silence.
on this day, i ask that you remember this event, and keep in mind these mournful families, and not to take your family or life for granted
