I’m pretty surprised with the fact on how lazy our country is collectively. I mean, exhibiting some things in my own community makes me all the more surprised. I just read something rating our own United States of America as the laziest country in the world in terms of caloric intake per day (hinting obesity), hours of television watched, hours of internet use, and lack of exercise. Can we really be that bad? ...

I’m a big Facebook guy. I don’t really know why, but the whole social networking this seems to be so addicting and fascinating to me. Well, I bring to my blog today to review some very interesting social networking applications. We all remember a specific one such as “Honesty Box”. That’s the crazy application that allows literally anyone say something about you anonymously. Of course, the people who add this application are expecting really good compliments, but obviously that’s not the case. I’m not really sure why people would want to endure the sheer insults put into the application, but sure, it’s only a fad. ...

My recent visit to second home Canada has caused me to write about certain complications I hear about the country itself. I personally believe that Canada is a great country to be in. It is a wide area to observe just about anything. The views are pretty awesome. My only question is, what do we really hate about it? In conversation that pertains to the country, people seem to take a negative view towards Canada. I just don’t understand it. I mean, I know they have free health care and such, but do we really hate them for that? Or is it because their obnoxious hockey fans from Montreal are, well, obnoxious? It’s probably just Canadian hockey in general and how our patriotism claims we’re better than them in their own sport. I mean, any country can say that. ...

With the intensiveness of weekends because of grad parties and the hot summer days, I’ve been slacking on my blog entries lately. This one takes more of a personal matter because it involves something that has become my life the past four years. We can strictly name it “The Oval,” or Track & Field as it is most commonly known as here. Who would’ve thought that at the end of high school, you’d miss something so exhilarating as a sport? For me, I have to miss it, because I’ve learned so much in being a part of the sport itself. I’ve seen many things develop such as school record holders, state champions, and rewriting history and our (and Reading’s) books. Of course, besides the highlights, I’ve seen career ending injuries, close brawls with opposing teams (because of iPods), and quitters. ...

I don’t really know what it is, or how it even works, but I have this keen ability to observe and evaluate everything I do. I believe that it’s a common problem. Sure, evaluation has its perks, but also its consequences. I mean, observing and analyzing is always a good learning experience, but what if that sort of thing keeps you from doing something? That evaluation my friends, must be your conscience. ...
