Tired!

Today has been a pretty long day. I havent been in my room all day cant wait to leave here and take a nice long shower and get some sleep. 6am Practice tomorrow. Need to get alot of rest.

Basketball Season!!!!

Basketball season is here and games are just around the corner. I can wait. My first couple weeks of practice was crazy but now I cant wait until the games begin. I hope to see you guys there.

Burch Fellowship

The Burch Fellowship past winners talked a lot about global issues. Things like service based projects and building up the communities in other countries. These winners didn’t really speak on issues going on in the United States but more on issues that can be fixed or made better in other countries by people in the United States. They talk about poverty and how people are starving and the economics are really bad. The health care is not as updated as ours and they don’t have the medicine and other things we have here in the United States.
With the information I read on the website I thought of many different ideas that I could possibly write about. One thing I thought about writing about is Washington DC in general. But some smaller issues that are happening in Washington DC are issues like HIV and AIDs, Drug use and dealers, Rapes, and Poverty. I was thinking about writing about how these things can be fixed, or how this can be stopped from spreading in this area. One way the dramatic rise in HIV and AIDS rates can be slowed is to get people to be tested. Educate the students starting in the high schools. Motivational speakers would help a lot as well. Drug dealing and use has always been a problem in the Washington Dc area and no one really knows how to stop it but it needs to be stopped. I cant quite pinpoint what could be done but it has to be something.
Another idea I came up with is the crack cocaine law, and how its not fair the amount of time you get for selling crack than you do for cocaine when its all the same drug. This could be stopped by the government giving equal time sentences. Some people who sale crack go to jail longer than some killers. So the sentence needs to be reduced.
The last idea I came up with was Traffic in the city areas like New York, Washington Dc, Chicago, and other major cities. I think if the speed limits were raised there would be less traffic, less accidence, and fewer tickets rewarded for speeding. These are some ideas that came to mind when reading over the Burch Fellowship website.

Practice tomorrow at 6AM

Tomorrow we have practice at 6am. Im pretty pissed. I have to be at the Dean Dome at 5 for rehab and things like that. Im not ready for this. The one good thing thats going to happen in my life tomorrow is that I get to go home. I cant wait.

First Couple Practices!

Practices have been ok. They have been a learning experiences. Its very different from high school. They expect you to learn things so quick but im getting the hang of it. I just cant wait until the games start.

Movies!

Yesterday a couple of my teammates and I went to see Paranormal Activity. The movie was suppose to be scary but it really wasnt. We laughed thoughout the whole movie it was a couple scary parts but not many at all. But after the movies this random guy came up to us and was talking about the movie as we attempted to walk off he followed us and continued to talk about the movie. It was pretty funny u had to be there to witness it.

Long Weekend!

This weekend has been pretty long. I had a friend come visit. Went out to the movies with some of my teammates and the football team came out of the drought that they have been in. Now its the start of a new week.

PAIN!!!!

Today is the day after I hurt my shoulder, im in more pain than before. Doctor at 11. I hope everything is ok. I will be positive. I know everything is ok!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Morning Joe: John McCain

My group chose to analyze the Morning Joe clip with John McCain. Morning Joe was hosted by Joe Scarborough. This interview with John McCain happened around the end of the presidential election. These two men were both republicans. The argument in this clip was about vetoing the pork barrel projects.
John McCain wants the bill vetoed because this will only put the country on the brink of econmic disatster. He feels it is a waste of tax payers money. McCains plan will provide profit because taxpayers will be paid back first. This is a good idea but he does not explain himself. McCain does not discribe how the tax payers wil be paid back or how he is going to help the tax payers period. He also doesn't explain how he will be able to eliminate these problems.
Joe Scarborough is asking questions using evidence from the Bush administration. He talks about the deficits and spending bills that Bush used. He also talks about what must be done to change whats bring the country down.
This clip was very long and was also kind of hard to understand.

Tomorrow is the big day! im headed back to VA. Cant Wait!!!!!! This week has been ok not to much pain just cant wait to go home and see some of my friends and My fam!
