Denver Here I come!!!!!!

Hey everyone! I hope you all enjoyed your three-day break as much as I did. It just felt really nice to have three days off of school and work. My body sure needed a lot of R&R since my weeks are so hectic and busy. It felt good just to lie on the couch and watch the Olympics. Well let’s see, I’m getting really excited about going to Denver for this summer and working for NEWMONT. I have only lived in Montana City and Butte, and they really aren’t big towns. I think it’s going to be really fun to live in a huge town like Denver; it’s just a whole different type of lifestyle there than in Montana. I already plan on going to as many Rockies games as possible. I have never been to a MLB game, but I hear that they are really fun. Also, I hope the Denver Nuggets make it deep into the playoffs, so I can catch a couple of their games. I have been to a couple NBA games, and they are really fun. Being from Montana, we don’t have any professional sports teams at all, so being able to go to these pro sporting events and actually see guys like Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups play is something I would love to see. Also, I’m excited for the night life that Denver has with all of the concerts going on and other events like water parks and amusement parks. I’m just getting myself all fired up (LOL). My parents plan on coming down to see me since my mom’s best friend lives in Denver. It will be really nice to have some people down in Denver that I can go see so I don’t get lonely. My mom has been checking the concert schedule religiously so she can plan her trip down there and see some rocking concerts. My one buddy Josh only lives two hours away and another friend only three or four hours away, so I assume I will be seeing them some this summer. Also I’m trying to talk my Aunt Debbie into coming down for a couple of days. So I will keep trying my dandiest to keep that talk going. Well everyone, I hope you all have a great SHORT week, cause I know I will.

We Have People Starving......

Hey everyone! Well with school back in and football starting up, my schedule is pretty slammed this semester. I have already started the countdown: we only have forty-one days until SPRING BREAK, and I can’t wait. I will probably go home and fish most of the time with my dad and Vance. A lot of people are taking trips during SPRING BREAK, but I think that I’m going to save my money and try to make a trip down to Cancun during next Christmas Break with my buddies. So elections are coming up here pretty soon for the ASMT executive positions. I will be running for President this time around, since I couldn’t last year because you have to be a senior to be President. But I gained a lot of good experience being Vice President first. I would really appreciate your vote in the upcoming elections. So one thing that has been really chapping my you-know-what lately is that the NBA, NFL, MLB, and NASCAR are giving so much money to the earthquake relief in Haiti. I know that this is a terrible event, and I know that it’s really bad over there, but don’t you think that we have problems here in the USA also? We have people starving on the streets and people living homeless and WAR VETERANS starving to death. I understand that it’s really bad over in Haiti and that we should help them out, but it’s just hard for me to watch all these commercials about sending money to Haiti when we have kids starving and dying here in the USA every day. Now don’t get me wrong, I really do think we should help them out. I think it’s great that big names like Dwayne Wade and LeBron James are donating money. Haiti is in a lot worse shape than here in the USA. But when this is all over Dwayne Wade and LeBron James should be trying to raise awareness on commercials for starving families or WAR VETERANS here.
