Quarters!

r3t5nomLeave a comment

To the average human a quarter is just another way of saying 25 cents, or is seen as just another coin in the pocket. In the boarding school life that is definitely not the case.

This is what a quarter looks like to the those in boarding school
At a boarding school a quarter has a higher value, a quarter is considered to be gold. Not the kind of gold that is worth hundreds of dollars, but more along the lines of it being the main currency for both the laundry rooms washer and dryer, as well as the soda machine. Both of which are to many seen as necessities.

On a nightly basis you can hear as the students seeking quarters rummage through hallways stopping room by room in search for those 25-cent coins. And the cries of happiness and satisfaction when they find a fellow student willing trade a dollar for quarters.


It’s funny to me how such a small thing could be such a bigger part of ones life when they have to do their own laundry and better yet pay for it. If there is anything I have learned from being at a boarding school it is that when I go off to college, quarters are going to be a dear friend.

Nikon 1 J1

r3t5nomLeave a comment

This weekend I was at Target and I was looking through the electronics section at all the different video games, game consoles, and eventually I crossed paths with my favorite electronic…CAMERAS!

I was looking at all the different point and shoot cameras and well they all looked pretty much the same, all but one. The Nikon 1 J1. This is the revolution of point and shoot cameras because it gives the person using it the option to interchange the lenses as if it was a DSLR which is a big camera except less than half the size.

The Nikon 1 J1 has the capability to take 10 megapixel pictures, which for a normal point and shoot camera wouldn’t be seen as a lot of mega pixels but when you have lenses to attach, those lenses increase the quality. And it can also take 1080p video, making it a great high quality camera to shoot those home videos or fun days at the beach with.

This camera was developed to give people an alternative to a big DSLR camera (which is what I have) this makes it so that one can feel like a professional photographer but not have to pay what a professional had to pay for his/her monster camera.

Time To Get Fit!

r3t5nom1 Comment

It’s that time of the year, that time when I push my body to the point of exhaustion in the gym on a daily basis in order to achieve a nice fit look for summer. Time to hit the weights and jump that rope, eat less junk and run like a mad man.

I had the pleasure of being trained by one of the most incredible people and amazing personal trainers I have ever met this last summer.


Yes that is him, he has modeled for various companies and contrary to what most people believe he has never done any steroids or any kind of enhancing to get his body to where it is today. His name is Modu Seye, he was born in West Africa and his way of being and view on life and health is what keeps ME Moduvated.

He started his own company called Moduvated (clever right?! haha) a couple years ago and has gone as far as creating his own protein called Moduvated Greentine!

Aside from being an amazing personal trainer, Modu is also one of the most thoughtful human beings in this world.

So I’m writing this blog to say thank you to him and encourage everyone else out there in reading my blog to get out and work out every day for a little bit and care about themselves and their health.

Coca Cola!

r3t5nomLeave a comment

I have always been and always will be a Coke fan. It is in my opinion a thousand times better than Pepsi, not only in taste but also in marketing and the company all around.

Coca Cola is the main sponsor for the Olympic Game, as well as a world wide known brand. Coca Cola is a brand that is known to put a smile on some one face.


Coke has always had some of the greatest banners and adds to represent their product. The older ones are amazing, and they show us that coke has been around for quite a while. As well as their christmas adds.


The bottles have changed quite a bit since the 1899, and to be honest I wish they looked the way they used to look.

Something awesome that I found was that Coke used to have Coca Cola coupons that entitled you to a free glass of Coke! that is so cool, its too bad that some things have changed.

For some, Coca Cola has been a part of their lives for the entire duration and for others it has never been introduced, but when it is introduced it is known to be loved.

So Im definitely a Coke guy. What are you?

Airplane Car?

r3t5nom2 Comments

I was looking through the news on CNN and I came across something that in my opinion is magnificent. I read and watched an article about an airplane car.

This is a fully functional airplane that can travel up to 500 miles in distance, with the addition of being able to fit inside your garage as well as being able to drive on the highway and any other roads.


The woman in the video said something that caught my attention, she said that if they fly somewhere and the weather gets to be too windy than they can just drive back on the freeway! isn’t that just AWESOME!!!

I knew that eventually flying cars would become a possibility, but I didn’t think it would happen so yet. The world is definitely changing at a very fast pace.

I wonder what other crazy inventions will come up in the near future. Hopefully good ones.

49ers Player #10 Kyle Williams Costs the team a chance at the Super Bowl

Tonight was a sad night for all San Francisco 49ers fans, a sadness brought on by a 3 point defeat from the New York Giants. A win that was fed on a silver platter to the Giants by 49ers player Kyle Williams.

His first major mistake was a bad bounce and his hesitation to make a decision, the ball bounced off his own knee. Despite being filmed from several angles on national television, Kyle Williams thought he could deceive the world with his acting skills. The ball took an obvious direction change after colliding with Williams’ knee, yet he pretended like it had never happened. When he heard the referee’s decision, he acted like he was a victim.

49ers Player #10 Kyle Williams took the award for being the laughing-stock of tonight’s game. Thanks to his inability to keep hold of the football, which was smacked out of his hands by Jacquian Williams from the Giants.

It is a shame that one player could have such an effect on the outcome of a game. Especially when it’s for the worst.

And We Call Ourselves Humans

r3t5nom1 Comment

There are times when we as human beings do the right thing, help others, and make a difference. But much like everything in life one bad always makes the good disappear.

We call our selves humans yet we are truly the animals.

Today I saw a post on Facebook that left me in complete awe, It was a photo of two teenagers flashing their middle fingers at the camera while one of them held a thin rope with which he had hanged a puppy.

I am disgusted with the fact that a person could ever do something so unbelievably and horribly wrong. I am in every way hopeful that enough attention is brought to this photograph that these two rotten “human beings” will be found and prosecuted accordingly.

There is no way that this is acceptable. This is as unfair as a situation could possibly get. This is a poor innocent animal which was hanged for the entertainment of two idiotic children.

I feel I have said enough to get the point across but if there is anything anyone would like to add please feel free to do so in the comment box because I would love to see what others think.

New Years Resolutions

happy new years

On New Year‘s night I took a moment to come up with some good resolutions that I believe will improve my life. For once I want to live up to the resolutions that I decide to make.

For the year of 2012 the first thing I would like to do is develop a more effective way of saving money. I feel that this is a very important element to growing up as well as a good skill to possess as I head into college.

Secondly I would like to start to improve my health. The main things to improve it would definitely be eating healthier foods as well as exercising more often and at a higher rate.health and fitness

For my third and final resolution, I would like to enjoy the rest of my senior year at OVS with the girl who matters the most to me as well as with some of the greatest friends anyone could ever ask for or hope for, cough cough** Evan Cooper! then I would like to enjoy my upcoming summer, and take advantage of every opportunity presented to me for the rest of the year.

Happy 2012 everyone!
2012
LETS MAKE IT A GREAT YEAR!!!

Let The Stress Begin!

r3t5nom1 Comment

As the week comes to an end and the weekend begins I am feeling more and more stressed out. I feel like I’m in a big way psyching my self out way more than is necessary but regardless, it sucks.

I really want to do well on my finals, more than ever before. I want to make my mom proud and my teachers proud but even more so my self proud. I am beyond sick of disappointing my mom and my teachers, I just want them to be happy for me and say good job instead of what I’ve always heard which is “you could do better” or “you need to do better” dissapointed

I want to be able to walk away from a final with a smile on my face and knowing that I did well, it’s horrible to walk away and know that you got a bad grade. F

One day I want to feel what it feels like to get an “A” on a final, and no Spanish class didn’t count.

Lets see if I can make it happen this time.

Hopefully this won’t happen!

GOOD LUCK ON YOUR FINALS EVERYONE!!!!

Funny State Farm Commercials!

r3t5nomLeave a comment

Out of all of the different company commercials on television, in my opinion State Farm has the funniest commercials. This company has such a unique way of incorporating elements about its company into commercials. They don’t just say what they have to offer, they make funny connections that both explain aspects of their company as well as make the viewers laugh.


and

And this last one might not be the way people feel but I think that the next video is one of the greatest company videos EVER! It is perfectly set up to be as funny as possible and man oh man it sure made me laugh!

I thought it would be fun to make a post about something that makes me laugh and that will hopefully make the people reading this laugh 🙂

Do you have any funny commercials to share?
