Finals
As my final week draws to an end, I thought I’d take some time out to reflect on finals week and what it means to me. Finals week has several meanings for me. The first is its usually a last chance to either drastically improve my grade in a class, or often times a chance for me to just blow my grade. The finals is crunch time, I actually tend to enjoy the chance because I can often cram a...

Most memorable quotes of 2007
found this in an article http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20071219/us_nm/usa_quotes_dc ”Don’t Tase Me, Bro,” “I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because some people out there in our nation don’t have maps and I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and Iraq and everywhere like such as and I believe that they should our...
Mitchell Report
I find it very interesting what has come from this report. It’s interesting how much different steroid implication is compared to our actual legal system. In today’s sports world, you’re almost guilty until proven innocent. I think that there are going to be so many people that have their reputation tarnished because of this that shouldn’t. It’s also interesting to...
Final Project
Although I’ve only filmed what Im going to use in my final project, I’m excited for its finish. I think that I was able to observe a few things that I don’t normally see when I make my weekly journey to the grocery store, especially because I’m going by car. You see more than you thought was there when you go by foot as time passes a little slower and images don’t...
Elections
This image of Chuck Norris and Mike Huckabee got me thinking about the elections. I started talking to one of my housemates about it, and we were amazed by how easily people could be influenced by popular figures in entertainment if they backed a candidate. The story from which the photo came from talks about how after Chuck Norris backed Mike Huckabee, google searches went up 10% for Huckabee,...

Weathermap observations
For two weeks we had to collect information pertaining to the opposite words, happy and sad. We were to collect any and everything that had to do with them in the US. I mostly collected news articles, blogs, images along with some videos and some blogs from WeFeelFine. Through the collecting and organizing of the information in Flash, I came across several observations in both my weathermap and...

Downtown Poughkeepsie
Street - Market St 4:56 PM 9/24/07 Weather - Sunny, 75 degrees Shadows line the street. Not many people are walking around. Usually there are a lot of cars parked on this street, but it was easy to find a spot to park. Walking by Mad Hatter it looks very dark and empty. Its a much different scene now than on a Friday night. Now traffic is picking up. I hear beeps, sound of cars...

Book stack
What a person sees in anything in life is subjective. Some may see weeds in what some people see as a garden. Some say the shirt is pink, others say its salmon. The same hold true for what people would see in a stack of books. People can find many meanings in seemingly meaningless words. The books that I stacked in the library this week were titled “Past Worlds”, “Chronicle of...
High Blood Pressure
One of the bigger things that has been lingering over my head for the past two weeks has been my blood pressure. When I went for my physical here at Marist, i was not cleared to practice with the team because my blood pressure was too high. It was consistently 150’s / 90’s. So for the next two weeks I have had to train at a lesser duration and intensity, by myself for the most part....
My Five Interests
