2009-05-23T09:33:00.000-07:00

In exactly 1 week I will be on the road to Boston. I cannot wait to see one of the greatest bands of all time, Dave Matthews Band, at Fenway Park.

I got the tickets for my birthday, easily one of the best presents ever. Thanks Andrea.

Comment and let me know what your favorite song is by DMB. They are all good so it wont be hard to find at least one.

Appropriate

2009-05-20T09:00:00.000-07:00

I am writing, hoping that the recent inappropriate blogging that has been going on will not affect my blogger status. I am leading the league in style points and have yet to put up anything truly inappropriate.

I am sorry that Ms. Bernier is mad about some scoundrels who like to make people laugh by writing nasty things.

Lock It Up Hawks

2009-05-20T08:05:00.000-07:00

Not long ago Hopkins Academy was a place where new students would come in and not know what was going on. Bags were all over the place and nothing ever had to be locked up in lockers. Nothing was ever stolen and things ran like a well oiled machine.

As of late (the past couple years), that has not been the case. Money is stolen out of the boys locker room whenever it is not locked up. Somebody is going in there deliberately looking to steal money. When money is left in pants, zipped in a bag, in the back corner of the locker room, it is being stolen. Someone is on a mission, and is about to be exposed.

Nobody is positive who it is, but everyone speculates that it is the same person. While I cannot say their name, most of you who will be reading this blog know who I am talking about. If Hopkins is going south, what has the world come to?

Good job youngsters, ought a have good morals.

This week in baseball:

Garrison "the little lefty" Banas out for the year with a torn meniscus.
Karl "old man" Kapinos's back is acting up. Time to break out the walker.

We have a four game week and we are missing 2 of our 4 best players. We were recently in league contention but have now stumbled. It looks like its going to be a rocky road from here on out.

Heads up and hope for the best.

Prom, 8.5 out of 10

2009-05-18T08:08:00.000-07:00

This year’s prom was definitely the most expensive one out of the last few. It consisted of an “open bar”, full buffet, customized M&M’s, and lots of dancing.

The night started out with the traditional prom pictures taken by Grynn and Barrett Studios. The photo key chains were sub par, as the photo was not correctly centered in the frame, cutting off part of the guest’s head if they were taller than six feet.

Next came the initial awkward socialization period where people talk about how much they “like your dress” or “how handsome you look in that tux”. Pictures were taken using personal cameras. You know, the ones where you are not expecting it and you end up looking perfect for the casting of The Hills Have Eyes 8.

Then it was time to sit down and dine. Keep in mind, at this point there were already at least five Shirley Temples consumed by each person, so the last thing anyone wanted to do was sit and eat. Brian Amini ’10 and Michael Kazalis ’10 decided they were going to dance and eat at the same time. They ended up looking the same as the always do, foolish and funny.

The food was great as you got to choose what you were going to eat after you could see it. Usually you pick something that sounds good and then when it is brought to you, it ends up looking and tasting like something else. Kudos on the buffet class of ‘10, it was fantastic.

After that the night was “danced away” as the ten foot by 15 foot was swarmed by people looking like a tightly packed can of sardines, hopping up and down to the beat of the techno jam, Sandstorm. In the middle of the dancing, everyone took a ten-minute break so the class of ’10 could make their entrance. The “literate” DJ pronounced 50% of first names right and about 15% of last names right with Take Me Out to the Ball Game in the background.

Kevin Serio ‘10 and Lucy West ’10 won the honors of Prom King and Queen. They had their dance together, which all other couples from the Class of ’10decided to join in on. The people proceeded to dance and drink Shirley Temples until the night was gone.

Overall the prom gets an 8.5 out of 10. One point was taken off for the dance floor that was way to big. Another was taken off for the awesome DJ. Finally, a bonus half of a point was given for the buffet, which in my mind made the night. Great job Class of ’10 with special thanks to their advisors Ms. Bernier and Mr. Burns.

Just imagine a young woman walking down the hall wearing a yellow jacket. She is just over 5 feet tall and looks a bit like a marshmallow filled, sugar covered, Easter candy. That's my English teacher, Mrs. April "A. P(eep)" Preston.

Being a new teacher this year I would say that she is one of the best first year teachers in a while. She sticks to her guns and while I may not like it sometimes, she does her job well.

We have an overload of work, and probably should be getting honors credit. Compared to the other class, who has the same curriculum as us, we have done an extra book and project. Now that it is the end of the year, and I don't have much more to complain about. I will admit, it is not her fault. It's the other classes. While they may be getting the better end of the deal, I can't say I would want to be in that class.

Good work other class, way to make ours look so good.

John - (Kate + Eight)

2009-05-08T07:50:00.000-07:00

First of all I just want to say that the show John and Kate plus 8 is easily one of the worst shows on television. I am in full support of the ending of the show and the talk about that extra-large pain in my brain from hearing about it.

John has 8 children and a b!#$% of a wife (who he supposedly cheated on). He wants the show done and so does every sensible person in America. Who wants to watch 8 annoying little kids run around meeting people and doing dumb stuff. If I wanted to see that I would become a daycare provider. That's a lesson to all, 8 kids is way too much.

Great job John.
At least you got out of it with your pockets fat.

He Broke My Headphones!

2009-05-06T07:53:00.000-07:00

Yesterday the Hopkins Academy boys baseball team beat Athol in a 1-0 thriller.

That's not what matters though. After the game, while sitting in the Athol Girl's softball dugout, there was a near death experience. Nick "Gunslinger" McKenna was using Andy "Candy Girl" Blajda's headphones. While spinning the headphones in his hands, he broke them.

With that came the grin. Andy was furious and started yelling at Gunny. Gunny was ordered, by Coach Pat "Skip" Lemieux, to get him new ones and he accepted that. Andy then got a big hug from Burke and he was all better. Timmy, being Timmy, joined in on this hug.

After that Cam "Gam" Mathieu told me I was "apt to grab the [baseballs]."

Good use of the word "apt" Gam.
Way to use your think tank.

Famous Lame-ous

2009-05-04T07:45:00.000-07:00

When it comes down to it, taking into consideration all of the fortune and attention that comes along with being famous, I wouldn't want to be. Being in the spotlight 24/7, always worrying about what you're doing and who's watching would make me go insane. The negative attention by far over weighs the positive attention that you would get. I would rather just live a normal life, with a normal family and group of friends then be part of the "scene" that can bring people up as high as the sky, then drop them, letting them free fall to their death.

Being famous would be uber lame-ous.

Take my poll, "Would you want to be famous?"

Errors Can Be Costly

2009-04-30T07:45:00.000-07:00

Similar to the Red Sox game 2 nights ago, my "beer league" gym class softball team lost the game today because of some iffy defense and errors.

We were up by 3 runs (3-0) in the last half of the last inning when before I knew it, the bases were loaded. There was one out and to the plate stepped Bryan "Chatty" Pelchat. Not a power hitter, it was expected that he would hit a ground ball which could either be turned into a double play to end the game or into an out to make it 2 outs in the inning. The ball was hit to second base, it made it through the second baseman's legs, and hopped past the right fielder. 3 runs scored and the game was now tied.

Even thinking about what happened next makes me sick so I am not going to talk about it. All you need to know is we lost the game 4-3, and now we have a record of 0-2.

Great job guys.
Way to blow the game.

Overtime, Overtime, Overtime, Overtime!

2009-04-28T18:41:00.000-07:00

For the third time in the series (which has only seen 5 games), the Boston Celtics and Chicago Bulls are going to overtime. The Celtics have not faired well in overtime, winning neither of the previous overtime games played. With Ray Allen fouled out, the Celtics are missing 2 of the "Big 3" as he and Kevin Garnett (who is injured) are both on the sideline. Rajon Rondo and Paul Pierce are going to have to work some magic to get out of this one alive.

MINUTE-BY-MINUTE OVERTIME UPDATE

4 minutes left- Celtics up by 1 (Kendrick Perkins is BIG)
3 minutes left- Celtics up by 1 (Joakim Noah has the ugliest freethrows in the league.)
2 minutes left- Celtics up by 1 (Regardless of the outcome, Rajon Rondo has offically established himself as one of the top 5 point guards in the league. He's getting assists, scoring, getting rebounds, everything a player can do. I would give him top 3 but I am also bias, so top 5 works. Ben Gordan needs to put a tent on that circus.)
1 minute left- Was too busy watching the game to update.
36 seconds left- Celtics up 3 (Paul Pierce is clutch. He in an isolation wizard that can hit any shot at any time. Dirt.)
27 seconds left- Tie game. (Ben Gordon stepped out of bounds before the shot, they gave him 3 foul shots anyway. I'm not gonna call it BS, but it is. Now it's all tied up.)
3.4 seconds left- Celtics up 2. (Paul Pierce. That's all I'm going to say)

CELTICS WIN!
Celtics lead the series 3-2.

Nice job guys, that's a big one.
Remember, "Anything is possible!"
