Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to my first blog ever. This is a truly historic event as we are now currently embarking on quite an adventure together. We will be discussing many topics including former child stars in the slammer, golfers in car crashes, plastic surgeons on twitter driving off cliffs, and everything about current movies, music, sports, and entertaining things as well as, What’s Happening.
Now other than Justin Bieber apparently landing a role on CSI (his bull cut looks as fine as ever,) M Night Shyamalan’s new movie DEVIL, and THE TOWN will be in theaters this weekend. Not much else is going on in my life right now . It’s fun being a senior and my football team has its first game tomorrow, and we all hope to wipe the floor with Trinity.

In the meantime, (this will be a trend with every blog or every other blog, I will leave with a joke or a list or something funny so here’s the first one.

Here now is a list of people I can do without.
a cross eyed nun with a bullwhip and a bottle of Gin, a crying woman with a harpoon gun entering a sports bar , a funeral director who says “hope to see you folks real soon”, a proctologist with poor depth perception, a dentist with blood in his hair, girls who get drunk and throw up at breakfast, a brain surgeon named “Lucky Lipschitz”, a woman who’s head you cannot see in the car at all, a scout master who owns a collection of shrunken heads, and any man who’s arm hair completely cover’s his wrist watch.

It’s a dark day in anyone’s life when they find out they’ve been lied to. That famous stories or famous people turn out to be nothing more than smoke and mirrors. For years we have been taught a song. For years it has been embedded in our head and hummed subconsciously while we walk to class or when we’re about to fall asleep. This song has told us that everything will be okay. That we all share everything and that, in the end, no one has absolutely nothing. “This land is my land, this land is your land,” what complete and utter BS. We have been listening to this song since kindergarten, all the way through middle school and even in parts of high school. We’ve been told that we can do or be anything we want to be, that all the land we see is in some way ours. But then it becomes, “You can do anything you want to do and be anything you want to be… within reason.” And that is what the last verse of “This Land Is Your Land” points out to the world. The last verse of “This Land Is Your Land” that no one actually ever knows, or is ever shown, or ever sings in the shower. The last verse of “This Land Is Your Land, ” that no one ever seems to hear. That one verse that states:

“In the squares of the city – In the shadow of the steeple
Near the relief office – I see my people
And some are grumblin’ and some are wonderin’
If this land’s still made for you and me.”

Maybe this land really isn’t meant for you and me. Maybe it was all just meant for you.
