I have learned many things about finding a job, since I have been in school. The thing that troubles me the most is the fact that you have to have some type of experience, before being considered for the job. I am not expecting instant gratification. I know that a job with a degree is going to be a learning experience. It just seems that a person lucky enough to get experience without a degree will be considered before a person with degree. The only thing I am suggesting is for employers to consider the fact; there is no way I am ever going to get any experience in my field of choice is no one gives me a chance.

The Perfect Someone
Some say being in a "perfect" relationship is impossible. Well I believe I am in one. Throughout middle school and high school I never dated. It wasn't that I wasn't an admirable person, I mean I was weird child, but I was athletic, was an okay looking kid thanks to my mom, and even achieved the senior superlative of "overall favorite". I was single throughout that time because I was waiting on that right person. Yeah, probably seems cheesy, but I did meet that right someone finally in my first year of college. She is the first person I have dated and we have been together for a year and a half now. If a girl can accept and like a family as weird as mine, she is definitely a keeper! If we are to ever argue or fight it lasts a tops of a few minutes before one of us makes the other laugh. I do believe I am in a "perfect" relationship. Hopefully my man card is not revoked after this.

Looking foward to this summer
There are so many things that I want to do this summer that I hope I will be able to do all of them. However, before I do anything fun I must definitely find a job. I have yet to have any luck in my job search but I believe I have found a solution. This summer I plan on going to my grandparent's house and spending most if not the whole summer with them. While I'm there hope to get a job at Mt. Cheaha, which is about a 10 minute drive up the mountain from there house. While I'm there I plan on writing a short book but, I feel that I should do a little more reading to help me in my endeavor. It just seems like the best way to help me become a better writer and at English. I have always loved English but I have no idea why. Poetry is a great love of mine especially haiku. Just being able to capture something in just a few words is true poetry to me.
Anyway, with all of this reading, writing and thinking I believe it can prove beneficial to me and my friend when it comes down to us writing comics of our own. Well since this is the last blog I wish everyone a happy summer.

New York
I was in New York last week. I was born and raised in New Jersey, only 15 minutes outside the city. I was there with my friend, fiance and baby girl. It is never a boring trip going home. We went to the Empire State Building and the wax museum. Last time we were in the city, we went to ground zero. I know it sounds chessy, but whenever I go to the city and they always have a memorial for 9/11. I tend to get numb. It was the reason I joined the Army and going back there everytime gets to me. I just take it very personally. My fiance has never been there and he wanted to see the reason why he has been to Iraq as well 3 times. I understand, because I deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan as well. Just standing there, emotions run through your body, that can not be explained. Just thoughts.
Basketball
The debate around the basketball
community of who the best player in basketball history is. People agree it
comes down to LeBron James and Michael Jordan. While they agree that the debate
is down to those two players, the debate gets fierce after that. There are many
things that are compared between these two. The debate is always a fierce one and the fans
of each player believe firmly that their opinion is right. In my opinion,
Michael Jordan is the best player in NBA history.
In the NBA, both men have enjoyed great
successes .Michael was drafted in the first round by the Chicago Bulls where he
led his team to the play-offs and averaged 28 points per game. LeBron was drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers
in 2003 and was a first overall pick. He
averaged 27.2 points per game in the 2004-2005 season.
While the debate among the fans
will continue to rage on there will never be an answer. There will always be a
group of people that go against the majority. There is no real way to determine
who is better when both players are equally good at what they do. The debate
between LeBron and Michael will continue until a new player is added to the
mix.

coming to an end...
At first this semester seemed like it would never end.
Now it is so close to ending and I feel like it should still be going. It is kind of shocking that the semester is just weeks from ending. I dont know if i want it to end.
So much to do this last month to make sure I get the grades I hope for.
Then a brief break and then start next semester.
