Facebook

The social networking site that has pretty much taken over the internet as we know it, Face book. I love face book and would probably be lost without it. The first page i see every time when I open my browser is face book (it's my homepage), and all my status updates, comments, and other updates are sent strait to my phone for me to respond to. Just when everyone thought myspace could not get any bigger, here came face book which took online blogging to a new level and created a class of it's own, social networking. I think social networking is an understatement, face book should be called anything and everything about me can be found here dot com. Although this is very true I still am addicticed to face book and can't wait to show my grandson one day how to recover his lost password on face book for the first time.

Pole Vaulting

So track season for high schools in this area began about 2 weeks ago. I am not in high school, why do I care ? Last year i was a senior at Columbia High School and decided to run track kinda spur of the moment. I ended up being semi decent, especially for not having ever run high school track before. I ended up running the 400 and pole vaulting. I soon feel in love with pole vaulting and all i could do was think about it. It became clear to my coach that i loved to vault and i knew what i was doing. I ran into my old coach about 3 weeks ago and we got to talking and he asked me to come out and help him coach. ever since iv been coaching the vault team and I am having such a great time. Our first meet is today, WISH US LUCK !

Blog Repot #2

So over the last couple of weeks its been pretty hectic and i have not been able to post near as many new post or comments. i do however still enjoy blogging. its a great way to highlight fun, cool, and intresting things in your life, not only that but you only need to say it once and its on your page for all to read, its not something you have to continually repeat day in and day out. I think the commenting is one of the most fun parts of blogging becasue it gives you a chance to give feedback on someones blog or in genaral just give some type of insight on their post. I find my self commenting on Jim's page alot because alot of his post deal with hockey and our season. I do however like to comment on other peoeple s blogs when its something Im intrested in like sports, some blogs however just do not appeal to me and I can't comment on thier actual post but usually I still like to throw in a "good post" or "very intresting" Everyone keep up the good work and have fun!

Jim Wilderman Unleashed in The Windy City

It was game 2 late into he third period of our final game of the season. We were down four goals and knew it would take a miracle to pull a win out. At this point in the game we were playing for pride and not going down without a fight, literally. With about four minutes left in the third period there was a scrum (pushing and shoving) in front of the net. As a hockey player you know when a fight is going to happen. It’s the way two players get in each other’s faces and the way shoves are given to the chest of the other guy. This was exactly what was happening. The whole bench was quiet and motionless as we watched this develop and how the player we all would never have guessed to drop the gloves, started in the process of developing a fight. We all saw it coming as it happened and when Jim pulled off his helmet and threw his gloves aside, our bench erupted with screams and shouts of encouragement. A shot here, dodging up and down, yanking jerseys, the faint and the definitely recognizable sound of a fist smashing in the jaw of an opponent. That quick it had started and that quick it had ended. Jim was obviously then escorted to the penalty box as our team rooted him on and yelled on congrats at him. A definite morale booster to our team, and Jim's first win in his first junior hockey fighting career.

Snuffels

I have been absent the last two class periods due to a case of acute snuffels. Im not evevn sure if that a real alement but it is for me. I guess i just have a really bad cold, but every 10 seconds i have to "snuffel" very loudly and its annoying and distracting to me so i kow it definitly would be to everyone else in class. Luckly i have Jim to help me out and tell me what we did in class. Jim-bo's a good guy, thanks for takin care of me buddy.

Blog Repot # 1

This blogging project has really opened my eyes to a whole new world of communication. I use face book and other types of social networing sites, but never just a blog site. It real lets you interact with people, especially people you dont know.

My only "beef" with this is that i can never remember to blog, it seems like im always bloggin on tuesday morningswhich is good and bad. atleast im blogging, i just wish that i could remember to do it at home so that way i would have more time to complete my blogs.

All in all though i think that blogging can only benifit me in my academic career. If any of my classes in the future use blogging then ill be set. I really enjoy reading peoples blogs and commenting on them, its kinda nice having an insight on other peoples life. It helps you looks a yourself and realize your like them and that your a normal person.
