Classes on online

A prelimary schdule of what your classes is up on edline. Take a look but remember like in life it is subject to change.

Customizing Life

I don't need to watch mtv or vh1 anymore. I don't need someone telling me what to listen or what to watch. I have youtube to watch any music video, and some case movie, I desire. I have made my own channel and it is called Hockeybookavision. I watch the office on dvd or any other show I like off DVR. In fact I don't really need to TV anymore. I watch music videos, friends videos, or education videos(like the history channel but funnier history) on the Internet. I even shop, eat, stretch while listening to music from my i-tunes. If I want ideas for new song I read a magazine.
I started watching a Bobby Orr video and now it is in my rotation. Also the song "Valerie" my Matt Ronson and Amy Winehouse, is a favorite of mine. We can design our media input schedule and not just TV schedule, I mean our own schedule for life. We can design to live life while incorporating everything we like.

I have even more time to be with friends, read and exercise(hockey). That is what I love to pass the time with. Also designing hockey practices for my team is fun to me. We finished 9th out of 16 this summer but we had 6 defenseman and they are all coming back. They are all 7th or 6th graders and we are the only team without any 8th graders playing defense. I don't need tv anymore I have a lot of action in my life already.

Maybe that is why Chambo bought the i-phone and it goes with him on the train to and from Boston everyday. So when he is around he never needs to watch TV or surf the internet.

The Future Now

This is what just happened to science and it is a huge leap forward.

With great power comes great responsiblity

Movies and School

I finished my classes and have had time for my love, movies. Wall-E was inspirational but cute. Stepbrothers was dumb but fun, Dark Knight was the best movie in the past 10 years.

I don't get too happy or too down anymore when it comes to movies or sports. That is why the Dark Knight was amazing. It made me remember why I like movies.

My sports world got flipped upside down when Manny got traded. If you think this doesn't effect me emotionally you are wrong. I thought I was done being emotional about sports, but I was proven wrong. It was just like with movies something came out of nowhere. Manny and I have history. Manny was there when I was in college. I have been watching his career through everything. I thought he was better than the best. He was unique. I miss people who are unique. That is why I like certain people and I gravitate toward them in a room.

I will miss Manny because he is a symbol of my youth and he is gone. But getting over Manny will not be the toughest thing I will ever do in my life. It was tough to graduate high school, play hockey, leave hockey, get a job, go to college. I realize now everything will pass, thank you Dr. Ansay, and learning who you are is the most important part of my youth and then life. Being young is inspirational, cute, dumb, fun, and the best. And there will always be something you didn't expect, the next big thing.

CVS

Working is a natural part of life like birth, sleeping, and bathing. Work will always be needed. I needed to get a summer job and CVS was the best one I could find. Maybe I didn't look hard enough but as everyone knows I am also coach hockey. In fact it may not be the best job I could find, but instead the best one for a hockey coach who has a sporadic schedule. I love part time jobs. The people and the customers make for great stories. Especially when a customer asks for a box from the back room yet no box satisfies. Until you find out she is burying her dead cat and needs the perfect box, from CVS, to make her cats final resting place perfect. A natural part of life indeed.

The Dark Knight

I responded to a boston globe article with the following. Movies do make you feel better and at times unite the masses. In the Dark Knight you see the world turned upside down with future danger inevitable. In the end of all great movies something ends and dies. Nolan doesn't want allegories galore, because he wants you to enjoy the art. If you want allegories then go see "There Will be Blood".
If you don't think this movie questions the major theories of a democratic society or the importance of a presidential election then you are mistaken. When electing a person into a government office you should look to the right person with a proven track record who you have a good feeling about. When a hero is faced with adversity you have a want him to throw the detonator out the window or sacrifice everything when even a gun is pointed in his face. This movie unveils everything good and bad about the human race. If that doesn't juice your roger, you can just take it for the fun art it is. Maybe then you're world will no longer be upside down, but instead it will be a brighter place with The Dark Knight.

Hawaii

In case you were wondering, Hawaii is BEUTIFUL. It is not too hot or too cold. The mountains are beutiful and the ocean is crystal clear. We have pictures of a beutiful wedding. I will be returning to Attleboro to start my summer of hockey and math tutoring.

Life is too short to never travel. I wonder if there is a paradise like hawaii anywhere else in this universe. I say nope, but I will spend the rest of my life looking for an equal.
