New TV

Contribution by Saul Martin





I have been dying to get one of those new LCD televisions. I would really like to get a 60-inch screen for our basement, which my wife has graciously allowed me to turn into my “man cave”. However, my wife said that she had to draw the line somewhere, and she said we could not get the new television until I had figured out how we could save money elsewhere. After all, our utility bills had almost doubled since we moved into a bigger house two years ago. Luckily I had just had a conversation with a buddy of mine about how he saved money on his power bill by going to shopelectricityratestexas.com. I told my wife about it and she agreed that it would save enough money for me to get the new television. I have big plans for the television with football season coming up. I hope to have my entire fantasy football league over to watch a few games on the big screen. My wife may regret letting me get the TV, but I’ll gladly let her watch it during the week.

Braves Beat Pirates on Umpire‘s ’Unbelievable’ Call in 19th Inning!!!!!

Anyone else think this was a terrible call??? Especially in the 19th inning, a six hour and 39min game. Really? Of course there is not instant replay in baseball and i don tthink they need it. I think the Ump needed some glasses. It was clear to all who watched the game that the call was BAD! What a way to lose!!!!!! What are your thoughts?

School was Scary

Contributed by Cameron Hodge




I have no idea what to expect when I got accepted to Columbia University. I mean, obviously I was very excited since it was my dream school and one of the top journalism programs in the whole country, but I was terrified to move to New York all on my own. Over the summer, I did some research on what I would need, picked up a futon, got clear from clearwirelessinternet.net signed up for a specific dorm building. I was ready and raring to go, but by the time the moving van made it all the way to the city, I was exhausted! Thankfully, my random roommate was amazing and helped me move all my boxes in and even convinced me to go out for dinner that night, despite how tired I was. I'm glad I did, because I met my boyfriend David while we were out at dinner! He's made moving to a new city way less scary, and it's so much fun to have a native New Yorker as my personal tour guide.

Blink...

Where has the time gone. I feel as though it goes by so fast that i blink and before i know it months have pasted and it only has felt like days. Life used to seem slow and laid back, not anymore! Last time i wrote i was deeply in involved in my home business and trying to get that up and running. With some success but not enough i made the hard decision to close it for awhile and get a job selling on ebay which i was sucessful in doing. I love my job and it would be my dream to be as successful as my employer.

Although the thought of being sucessful and having my business back up and running again as taken a back seat, I"m not giving up just yet, just putting it on a temporary hold. Now my thoughts are consumed with raising a baby! About three weeks ago we found out we are expecting our first little one! By the end of summer my whole life will change and i am very much looking foward to it!! In the meantime i have begun making lists of things that need to be done. There is so much going on this year, it will once again feel like a blink but i want to enjoy every moment as much as possbile. My sister will be getting married in June and i have long awaited this day! Eager to celebrate and plan i am fighting the urge to lay down but sometimes i just cant resit. I hope i fit into my dress!!!

Disturbing movie but I still liked it

I think that movies aren't really great unless you get a big reaction from watching them. I love to remember movies years after I've seen them. Nothing's worse than paying money for some movie you forget in a few years' time. But lucky for me I had a pretty big reaction to the movie Black Swan. I kind of expected to be a little disturbed by it but I was even more disturbed by it than I thought.



I read a lot about it online because there was so much hype about it and I was more curious about it than anything really. One night when I was reading about it I came across a comparison of WildBlue vs dial-up  and after I read through it, I signed up for the internet service.



Every time that something weird happened in the Black Swan movie, I was a little more surprised and wasn't sure if what was happening was just imagined by the main character or was actually happening in real life. But it was pretty great and I think that Natalie Portman is going to really be remembered for the movie.
