Jay!

Jay cutler is now a Chicago bear. I never thought in my entire life that the bears would ever get a great quarterback. This ushers in a new era of Chicago bears football. The trade was this years and next’s first round draft pick, Kyle Orton, and a third round pick for jay cutler and a fifth round pick. This trade will make an immediate impact on the season. This is a once in a life time trade that the bears could not pass up. Getting an elite quarterback at only 25 years old the year he made the pro bowl is almost impossible. The Chicago bears receiving corps will be improved just by having a quality quarterback throwing the ball. Devin Hester will improve so much more then he could have with any other quarterback. The bears now have a three way Vanderbilt connection with Chris Williams, earl Bennett, and jay cutler
Jay cutler is already the most talented quarterback to ever play for the, before he even steps on the field for them. His season for the broncos last year was better than any other season for a bears quarterback. Jay cutler will change the face of a franchise known for its woes at his position. For the first time ever the bears have a franchise quarterback that will be there for years to come.

The Simpsons

The single greatest TV show of all time is The Simpsons. This is not an opinion it is a fact. It is the longest running sitcom in the history of the world. It is also one of the most popular. Millions of people watch this show every day. This show started as a short skit that regularly appeared on a variety show. It has become a part of the American tradition. It really is how that almost anyone can relate to. It is basically the story of the average American household. There is the trouble maker, the nerdy student, the stay at home mom that holds the house together, and the blundering father. The father, Homer usually gets himself into some sort of hilarious problem that is solved.
There are thousands of characters for anyone to relate to. Each character has his own story and characteristic. There are no cookie cutters here. There really is no filler in this show at all. Every second of every episode serves its purpose to make you laugh.
I guess the reason I really love this show is because I see a lot of my family in it. My mom holds the family together and my dad is the one who acts like a kid sometimes. My older brother is definitely Bart, always getting into trouble. I am kind of a Bart an Lisa hybrid. I do well in school but I also can find some trouble.
The Simpsons are the best
Peace out

Advertisement!

We are subject to so many advertisement on a daily basis. Thousands of advertisements are targeted at us everywhere you look. Most Americans get their advertisement fix from the TV. I personally watch a lot of TV, so I get to see a lot of commercials. It really takes a lot to catch my eye. A commercial that really stood out to me is a commercial from Reebok. It wasn’t really advertising a certain product as much as it was advertising the brand. The commercial is about a company that is having problems with their workers under performing. The company hires Terry Tate office linebacker. He runs around and tackles the employees that are slacking off. He really tackles them hard and is yelling, all the while wearing Bright red Reebok football jersey. This commercial really made me laugh it was hilarious. If already did not have a lifelong loyalty to Nike this commercial would have made consider their product. I think it is really memorable because it was so funny and unexpected. It remains one of my favorite commercials ever. Sometimes I even watch it again on youtube.com. Which I guess means Reebok did a good job to make me look at their product twice.

Peace Out

Thursday

Thursday is the day that will make or break a college student. Every Thursday night millions of college students go out to party. It is one of the best party nights. When this tradition started it I have no idea. I usually try to stay in on Thursdays because I have an 8AM class the next day. This Thursday was a different story. My friends came down from Crystal Lake. They are some of my best friends and usually can talk me into doing anything, which usually leads to trouble. My friends talked me into going out on Thursday, but only if I could leave at 11:00. This didn’t not hold true. I could not leave I was having such a good time. I ended up staying out until around two o’clock in the morning. I did not go to 3 of my classes the next day. This going out on Thursday has to come to an end. It is ruining me academically. Moral of the story I am no longer going out on Thursday.
Peace out
Matt
P.S. DON’T GO OUT ON THURSDAY

Mis Amigos Y Yo

I really do not have too much to write about. So I have decided to write about my wonderful friends. My friends and I have known each other forever. Most of us met each other through football when we were younger. Two of my best friends were on the same football team as me when we all in second grade. This was one of the best times of my life. These two friends were Charlie Wagner And Chace Davis. My friend Charlie is the funniest person in the entire world. He is a huge jokester. Charlie’s Dad also used to be the mayor of my home town Crystal Lake Illinois. In high school we were work out artners for 4 years in high school. We would get to the weight room a five o’clock and work as hard as we could all the time pushing each other to do our best.

My other friend from that team was Chace Davis. His dad was our coach and took football very seriously. I used to not like him very much until I realized that all he wanted was for us to perform at our best and except nothing less. This was a lesson I learned when I was a little bit older. Chace and I have always been very competitive with each other. We would try to out lift each other in the weight room, and see who could get more tackles during football games and practices. It has always been a friendly rivalry. We get along so well because we are very similar. We used to make a joke that we were body twins. We are the exact same height. And when either of us gain or lose weight it is usually that same amount at around the same time. It is actually kind of creepy.

That is the basics of my two oldest friends. We have been getting in to trouble together for most of our lives. I couldn’t ask for better friends. They are great people. We always have a ton of laughs when we are together. I can’t wait for the summer to chill with them again

My President

Barack Obama Rewrote the history books by becoming the 1st black, president was inaugurated on Tuesday. It was day that will be remembered by all Americans for the rest of our lives. Like many other events that changed history people will remember exactly where they were when this historic event took place. Just as I will always remember being in 6th grade computer class when the 9/11 tragedy occurred, I will remember I was sitting in my biology class When Barack Obama was sworn in to office. This was a historic day for everyone to be a part of for every person in the world.

I for one did not vote for Barack Obama but felt a great sense of patriotism running through my true American soul. It is a great American story for a Black man to finally take office. Only in America can your ancestors be slaves and be the most powerful man in the world. Barack Obama is the epitome of the American dream.

It was a shame I was unable to see him sworn live but I did get to watch him at the parade, as well as at the several Balls that were televised. When he spoke, everyone listened, he is a great orator. His speeches were inspirational. When I watched and listened to him speak, I couldn’t help but be overcome with a feeling that everything was going to be fine with Obama at the helm of this great country. I think he has what it takes to bring this country back to the top where it belongs. It is very fitting for a black man to the president of the United States of America. These are the things that spate the United States of America from every other country in the world. We are dynamic, constantly changing, an African American who once had legal segregation, who once was a slave, can be the President of the United States.

It was a historic day and I definitely took time out of my day to reflect on it. I was walking home from class with my iPod on shuffle and the song my president, by Young Jeezy started playing. A song about Barack Obama.

Good Luck America
