Long island

All i hear about is all of these hurricanes, eathquakes, tsunamis, etc everywhere else except Long Island. People tend to forget that Long island is exactly what its name says. A long island srounded by water on every side. If we ever had any of these natural disasters strike near us wwe really would be screwed. I dont know how many poeple live on Long Island but think about how many of us would have to evacuate. Or even worse what if we didnt have a warning and we all just got struck by suprise. I feel like we take it for granted that nothing will ever happen to us and were invisible. Obviously not, look how many people got messed up from a minor storm that lifted some trees out of the ground? You would think that we were in New Orlenas during Katrina the way people reacted to a rather minor storm that places like kansas, florida, and missouri get hit with several times a year. I hope that the last storm we had isint a sign of things to come, because people will be going crazy if anything worse happens from a natural disaster.

Legal Marijuana

I was watching the news the other day and i see some scientist playing with pot. My first thought was "what the hell is he doing with all that weed". Then i found out that it was called medical marijuana and its now used legally in hospitals for people who have certain painful diseases. A man was talking about how much effort it took him to lift his arm and shoulders but once he started smoking this special stuff, he became much more loose and relaxed. There is also talk that pot may become legal in New York and even though im a kid i still think this might be the stupidest move the government ever made. Once kids start smoking pot they need something stronger and then they turn to schrooms, coke, and ecstasty, another big one especially in my area is Heroin. So why the hell would the government need to legalize the gateway drug to all those life ruining drugs? I truly hope this is just a rumor and pot stays illegal.

Concussion

Everyone fears them, everyone hates them and nobody wants one. But ofcourse at the start of spring break i got one. It all starts with drinking. Once people drink alcohol they become a completely different person and this time it was one of my best friends running his mouth. So he starts talking to an older asshole that nobody likes and then things escalted. My friend dropped a glass and was asked to pay for it and he rightfully declined. It then became a shouting match and i came in to the rescue. It went outside of the bar and then everyone started pushing and shoving and i ended up with a gash on the back of my head compliments to a brick wall. We later found out it wss a concussion. So it really was an excellent start to my first college spring break. Woooo Hoooooooooooooo. But i can honestly say i would do it again. Gotta always protect your friends and family.

Tigers Back

Tiger Woods said today that he will be returning from his long absense from golf in times for the Masters in Augusta. This comes to no suprise of me because why wouldnt the best golfer of all time want to take partin the biggest golf outing of the season? It a no braineron many levels forhim to return to thisevent because not only willit help him financially, but it will also help him publicly. The sooner he gets back to his winning ways the sooner people will forget about the stupid ass mistakes he made. I personally hate Tiger Woods even before all of these events took place.He just always seemed like he was too good for everyone but the truth is that he is a regular person who is just good at golf and apparently cheating on his wife and causing family problems. If there was a sport for cheating on wives then he would truly be an MVP. But until then hell be a regular person who made abnormally big irregular mistakes.

Islanders internship

I just had an interview to become an intern with the islanders and i truly hope i get the job because if i do i know that it can be a positive step in the direction i want to be in for my future. It starts in the summer time and is monday to friday from 9-5. Thats quite a heavy schedule for a non paying job, but its a risk im willing to take becausei truly believe that the opportunites and recognition i will recieve from enduring the process will be priceless for the long term goals of my life. I will never be sick of sports or anything that has to do with the Islanders. It has been a lifelong passion for me and my family and i feel that if i hadto work in any type of place why not let it be one of the most important parts of my life and get paid while doing so?

911 conspiracy

I never really belived in conspiracys, but ive been watching some videos lately of the theory that the united states government planned the attacks on the world trade center and pentagon to have a reason to fight a war on terror without the united states citizens goings absolutely insane. I dont want to believe that this is true but some of theevidence is pretty convincing. First is how perfectly the towers fell down almost as if they were on timed explosives. Second is that tower 7 which is 47 story building across the street actually crumbled to the ground also and was NEVER HIT with anything at all. That is the one that really scares me the most because no terrorist would have access to so manyexplosives and would notbe able to plant them inside abuilding so easily. So why did tower 7 really fall?

Marriot

Just got home from Marriot next to the nassau coliseum and it was a really good night. Me and my girlfriend stayed there after the Jay Z concert and had some good food and dranks. It was a good experience to just not worry about parents or going home at a certain time or where your sleeping. A nice stress free weekend never hurts anyone. They renovated the hotel again and the rooms were all brand new as well. It was pretty impressive im not gonna lie. I used to stay there years ago when my house was getting redone and its much more colorful and modern now. Im between classes i actually head over there sometime to get lunch and try and bump into the visiting hockey teams that play the islanders that night . The teams usually have breakfast at prime seasons restaurant at around 10am and then head over to the coliseum and take their morning skate. The life of an NHL player is definitely something i would love, but then again who wouldnt wanna live in hotels and travel the united states and canada while getting paid for playing hockey? if you answered no your crazy wrong.
