What do kids want to do with their futures? Will they be what their parents want them to be, such as doctors, lawyers, accountants , or real estate brokers? Will kids live the suburban, wealthy , or "underprivilged" class? Questions like these always ponder inside a child's mind. Personally, i feel that Im pressured to automatically have a career  once I graduate college. Let me just experience the fields of study that I desire, and if It isn't successful , I can always work at McDonalds right? Well, I wont work at McDonalds, but Ill be sure to continue to educate myself and go beyond a Bachellor's degree.  I really want to stress that to the kids who don't want to continue their education, and drop out of highschool , or college. I know that by that age , one is an adult and can make their own decisions . Most likely a kid without a secondary education will suffer economically and if they choose to have families. Everyone needs a back-up plan , just in case y...

Saturday Night Live was great last night , filled with guest appearances by Daniel Crag, aka James Bond, and musical performance by rock band Muse. SNL did great parodies of this last weeks presidential debate between incumbent president Barack Obama and governor Mitt Romney. In addition , a comical appearance by Sesame Street's Big Bird, appeared to respond to Romney's comments on cutting PBS cidication on national television , including shows such as Sesame Street. Overall, last night was a great show and tune in next week @ 11:30pm Et.

It looks like the NBA season is almost under way . There's only about a month left until the season starts and major buzz is coming from defending champions , Miami Heat and their offseason acquisition of G Ray Allen . Also, the Los Angeles Lakers added superstars Steve Nash and big man Dwight Howard to boost tremendously their championship hopes. The season is only 26 days away from tip-off!!!! Be sure to watch for an exiting season

Week 2 of NFL Sunday has arrived . Teams such as the Redskins, Jets, Ravens, have made winning statements and proven they are contending forces in the league. Teams that have not impressed so far, such as the Titans, Browns, Cheifs, look for redemption this week against their opponents . Check out the games at 1, 4 on CBS/FOX and the prime time game of the week at 8 on NBC. Who will win , who will lose ?!

What is your favorite poem? What do you like to write about? Does poetry help you cope with your everyday problems? All of these questions I ask myself on a constant basis . Recently, I have been analyzing poetry and it's different styles. I hope you all take a look at some poetry and see which style caters to you. It may resonate with your current situation you're faced with . I know it has helped me . :)

The new hit show , The Inbetweeners on MTV , perfectly captures the life of an American teenager. The show is filled with embarrsing momnets, raunchy humor , and witty dialogue. A show about four young boys struggling to fit in in highschool, seeking popularity is quite relateable to most teenagers. Every teenager wants to be popular and have all the attention by their peers at school. However, the boys on the show are Inbetweeners because they arent geeks and nerds , yet the arent popular at school. They want to be noticed somehow , and each episode on the show, displays their journey to popularity . Watch the show to find out if you're an Inbetweener. I highly recommend this show and you can watch it @ 10:30 et., 7:30 pt.  on Mondays on MTV

This past Friday, I went to Kings Dominion. Kings Dominon was pretty fun and I enjoyed the new rides they added to the park, such as the Intimidator. The Intimador is the tallest rollercoaster in the park, measuring to be 305ft and traveling at 94mph. Once i got off the Intimador i wqas dazed and confused on how a ride so high, can travel that fast in a matter of seconds. Kings Dominion certainly found a replacement for former high speed rollercaoster, the Dominator . The Dominator was created about 3 years ago. It measured 160ft at its apex, and traveling at 74mph. Besides the fast rollercaosrer, Ive noticed some fading ones as well, such as the Anaconda and The Rebel Yell. There are pracically no lines when waiting . The ride slow and the drops are very predicatable, I am not even schocked at the drops and loops. Even the rollercoaster operators look bored out of their minds. Overall, Kings Dominon still has great rides but needs to improve on their least amusing rides. I expect noth...
