cop tasors girls

I read online today about a police officer who used his taser gun on a ten year old girl that he claimed was being unruly. This seems a bit ridiculous to me what could a ten year old little girl have been doing to a grown police officer that he could not deal without using a tasor? If I was the parent of that child and I was present when the officer did that to my kid I would have socked him in the face no matter what my kid was doing to upset the officer. There just seems to be no explanation for stuff like this and cops that think they have power to do stuff like this shouldn’t be working in a position that is supposed to involve safety and trust. I am not a fan of cops at all for a few personal reasons but stories like this make me mad.

New mexico soccer player

Im sure most of you have seen the clips all over the internet about this New Mexico soccer player who just got suspended for the flagrant cheap shots. I just saw them for the first time the other day and they were just as shocking as the rumors about them. I kind of feel bad for this girl in a way because now everyone in the country thinks she is a complete psycho which she very well could be after seeing those clips, but there always is that small chance that the competition could have just got the best of her. I saw online today that she is trying to defend herself to the press saying that she was not the monster that the clips made her out to be. It would be pretty hard to explain yourself out of that mess but I geuss we ll have to see what she comes up with. All I know is it would suck to be known as the psyco cheapshot girl from YouTube for your whole life and definitely be a tough thing to explain to your kids.

2012

This past weekend I saw the movie 2012 in theatres. Going into it I was a little unsure still because i was curious if the director could depict the end of the world in way that looked realistic and keep me interested the whole movie. Well the director definitely did not let me down the movie had the coolest graphics I think I have ever seen and it was worth 7 bucks 100%. I thought it was really cool how it followed the story of people being effected from all over the world and then tied them all together in the end to have it make sense. I would definitely see this movie again

Fort Hood Sootings

The shooting massacre that took place on an army base in Fort Hood Texas has shocked the nation and captured the full attention of the national media. Earlier this week a sergeant who was actually stationed at the Fort Hood army base walked in with two handguns and started firing at innocent men and women. Eleven people were killed and upwards of thirty people were injured. Stories like this really bother me because there is no reason for things like this to happen, I mean what the hell is wrong with these people? It seems like stories just like this have been in the news a lot lately , people jus t walking into schools or buildings killing as many people as they can and then themselves to try and prove a point. But what I don’t get is what do they think this is proving? The only thing it proves to me is that these people are cowards and complete lunatics. But the insanity plea still feels like a copout to me, it’s like oh sorry I killed a bunch of people but its’ ok I’m crazy will you forgive me? These people grew up in society they know the difference between right and wrong. I just don’t understand what would possibly drive a person to do something like this , it’s a selfish and cowardly act but unfortunately is a reoccurring theme in our country.

sesame street still kickin ass

I just saw online that today is the 40th anniversary of Sesame Street the children’s television show. I thought this was pretty cool because I remember watching this show when I was like 5 years old and thinking it was the greatest thing on earth. I liked all the characters and was compelled by all the stories. Clearly kids of several generations have felt the same way as I did if the show has gained enough support to keep running for 40 years, but I am curious as to what makes this show stick out from the rest for kids? Especially with all the advancement in technology, new generations of cartoons and just all the other options kids have for entertainment in each new decade what has made this show stand the test of time? There has been tons of popular shows and characters throughout the years but the creators of Sesame Street were able to figure out a way to appeal to children no matter what generation the grew up in.

first of many

This past couple weeks have been pretty stressful for me I have had my fair share of tests and quizzes and papers. Practice has been getting more intense and the weight cutting part has been wearing on me. However this weekend is a special weekend. This weekend will be the first competition of my career at the collegiate level , I will be wrestling in a tournament at Virginia tech. It has been something I have been looking forward to since I was a little kid wondering where I would go to school and who I would be wrestling for so it’s a pretty cool feeling. Even though it has been a tough adjustment to the college wrestling style and I have had my hands full in the practice room I am really excited to get out and scrap with some competition from other schools and just compete. This is the beginning of a long season that doesn’t end until march , but I am just excited the competitions have finally arrived hopefully I will feel the same way when the tournament is over.

DORMS

I live in Tuttle room 144, my roommate is John Fausey he is the man and for a first year dorm room I think we have a pretty sick setup. However dorms are starting to get on my bad side. First there Is not enough storage space in the room for all of my belongings so it gets cluttered almost everyday if we don’t find time to clean up the laundry or whatever else it is we have laying around on the floor. The hard tiled floors often become infested with dirt and grass from the bottom of our shoes so when we are walking around barefoot we are always in for a surprise. Even just the fact that you can never really have the privacy you want or play the music you want without wondering if you are irritating your roommate makes It a daily struggle. I think all first years can relate to the feeling of being trapped in a small room with someone else almost like prison everyday can get old quickly. I am excited to move into my house with my teammates on june 11 that is for sure
