The Last Bloggggggg

I have struggled all term long trying to think of something to blog about twice a week. Now that it is over i can not wait to stop this. I am not a fan of blogging at all. Before this class I had never blogged or "tweeted" and it is something that I am just not a fan of. It is interesting to see where this has all come from and where it is going, but it is just not for me. I do not see the interest in writing my opinions about something and having people read and comment about it. If someone wants to know my opinion they can just ask me in person. I had never heard about "tweets" until this class and i feel like that form of communication will take off like social networking has in a couple years but neither of it is for me. I had never tweeted or blogged before this class, and i do not see the need to continue it afterwards. The multimedia storytelling class that introduced me to these different uses of media was very interesting to see what i had been missing out on, but after ten weeks of it I have realized one thing, it' just not for me.

another defensive let down

I wrote in a previous blog that if the Cleveland Browns were under .500 that Anderson should not get the start, and they have their future in Quinn and he should start. The Browns after 8 games were 3-5 and it was time to give Quinn a try. After watching the Broncos vs. the Browns last night I can see why Quinn is the future. Quinn made smart decisions and did not throw a single interception. Granted he did not throw any deep balls, all of his balls were short passes they were pretty accurate and the receiver's didn't have to many drops last night. He went 23 for 35 with a total of 239 yards. He had a 65% completion rate which crushes Anderson's 50% completion percentage , according to espn.com. I am excited to see how he does in the weeks to come, but with there being no quarterback controversy anymore the important question that needs to be addressed is the Browns need to find a defense. They let a 10 point lead in the fourth slip away. In the fourth Jay Cutler, the Broncos QB, was able to pass on the Browns defense at will. The Browns knew that the broncos needed to pass and Cutler threw it anywhere he wanted. Cutler ended up with 447 passing yards. That is not acceptable and it eneded up costing the Browns the game. The offense is finally figured out, but now its time too look at the defense and fix it, because with no defense the Browns wont win any more games this season.

you know what really grinds my gears?? part 2

working, when people call in "sick" or say they worked when they really didn't. I worked both Saturday and Sunday morning at the ice center and both times this weekend I was scheduled to work with two other students and they ended up not showing up at all. On the schedule though it says they did. They worked during the week and signed their name in for the weekend presuming they would be there. Both Saturday and Sunday I was stuck serving lines and people angry wondering why it was taking so long. Where is the justice? They will end up getting paid for never showing up and calling in "sick," when in actuality they partied too hard and couldn't wake up for work this weekend. If you know your going out, find a replacement. It is not to hard, everybody has a cell phone and can be reached immediately.

you know what really grinds my gears??

Parking, there are no where near enough spots on campus for there are the number of cars students drive. What really "grind my gears" is when students or faculty that have underground or reserved for staff parking spots park somewhere else taking up the few spots that are available to a student that isn't so lucky to have an underground spot. Faculty are just as guilty of doing this as well. They have reserved spots yet they are parked somewhere else other then their reserved spot, and if a student takes the reserved spot they get ticketed. If you have a spot assigned to you, just use it. By parking somewhere else other then where you are assigned you are taking away from a students chance to park on the street or in any of the lots. I know plenty of students that leave campus and worry about finding a parking spot when they come back. These students would love to be guaranteed a parking spot every time they leave campus, just like the students that have an underground spot, instead they know that when they leave that their spot is going to be taken by someone that has an underground spot and the student is stuck looking for any possible spot they can find regardless of how far it is from their house . If you have an assigned spot use it and don't be inconsiderate.
