Congrats Barack

Published by bostonpride under stuff Edit This

Change. Hope. A New Chance. This is all we were promised by our newly-inaugurated president, Barack Hussein Obama. Let’s hope he wasn’t just trying to get our votes and he actually fulfills these promises. Anyways, congratulations to Barack for doing all he has done, and for now being the most powerful man in the United States government. With the exception of slightly stumbling on the oath, he delivered a eloquent and powerful speech on Inauguration day. Oh, and by the way, some idiots were claiming that Barack wasn’t the president because he made a mistake on the oath. These people obviously don’t know anything about the consitution or the way our government works. Obama was president at noon on January 20, with or without saying the oath. But, just to be safe, Obama repeated the oath flawlessly in private later that day. I thought the ceremony itself was very well done. It was very extravagant and exciting. I watched it on tv, obviously. I was not one of the two million who swarmed into our nation’s capital for the historic inauguration. The performance by Yo-Yo Man and company was great (although it was a recording, NOT LIVE, due to cold weather). The poem read by Professor Alexander of Yale has been criticized a lot. However, if you google the poem and read the actual lyrics, it is a good poem. Reading it makes it seem a lot better than when she read it. Also, the lady who sang was good (so I have been told). I do not have much taste for that kind of music, but people said it was good so whatever. All in all, the inauguration was great, good luck to Obama, and I am hoping he will fulfill at least half of what he promised. Thanks and sorry for the ten day absence, I am still getting over my anger at Today.com for ripping me off. Keep reading and email this link to people so I can get more hits.

Celtics Slumping

Published by bostonpride under sports, stuff Edit This

It has been a while since I posted a blog. About two weeks maybe. I sort of lost the motivation to blog when I got an email from the website telling me I will no longer be paid a dollar per post, but rather per thousand views. I am never going to get one thousand views, so I will never get a paycheck. I was only four posts away from my first paycheck when I got that cheery email, so I kind of gave up for a while. However, I decided to just keep blogging and hopefully in the next year or two I will get the two thousand views I need to get a paycheck. Any help would be great (i.e. reading and checking the blog constantly, emailing the link to friends, etc)

 Anyways, I am going to write about my favorite team in the NBA, the suddenly slumping Celtics. before Christmas day, the Boston Celtics had a record of 27 wins, and 2 losses. After Christmas day, the Celtics have won two games, and lost seven. What is going on with the NBA champions? I don’t know.

 I tried to post this a week or so ago but I lost the motivation to finish the post (did I mention I no longer get paid?). Anyways, since then the Celtics have stepped up their pace and have won three straight. Paul Pierce is doing great and the Celtics look like they are slowly finding their way back to greatness. Thats all. Talk to you in a month or so…
