Maine Student Entertainment announced the first real entertainment of the year this month the loveable actor gone raunchy comedian Bob Saget. Believe me when I say that I would have put an exclamation point at the end of that sentence if I was actually legitimately excited. Bob Saget, really Maine? What in the world is Student Entertainment thinking? Sure we all love Bob Saget because most of the student body grew up watching ‘Full House’, I’d even say I learned a majority of my morale family values from Danny Tanner himself... There are a few problems I have with Student Entertainment thinking Bob Saget is a good choice for our entertainment and they stem a bit from my competitive nature. The first problem I have with this is Bob Saget is old. Vice President of Student Entertainment Mehdizadegan said, “Saget will appeal to an older audience”. Read that twice and let it sink in for a moment. Now that’s just so blatant I’m not even going to rip into it right now. Let me take this another direction. Even if Bob Saget’s jokes are raunchy and over the top (which I like) and driven by sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll (and who doesn’t love those three things?), there is the idea that most people who go to see his show likely have parents about the same age as Bob Saget (53). I don’t want to hear jokes about sex, drugs, and rock n roll from my mom or dad, I want to hear it from a peer. Right now you may be thinking ‘Hey, he’s funny so get over it and stop thinking about your parents telling you sex jokes’; now you’re right if you’re thinking this but it’s only because you may not realize what we could have had.
Just a side note: As a competitive college student and having grown up in New Hampshire just 15 minutes from the campus of UNH I’ve taken more criticism and had more one-liner jokes about the state of Maine thrown at me over the past two years by friends, family and all other acquaintances than you could imagine. I’ve answered more ‘So why did you choose Maine?’ questions than you could imagine. I’ve always defended my decision and I still do to this day and will continue to because I love the situation I’m in and I love this campus and this school, however, Student Entertainment really screwed the pooch here and they have me really upset because they let UNH severely outperform them, especially so far this school year. Last year UNH had, Lupe Fiasco and Jimmy Fallon as their notable entertainment while Maine had OAR, Dropkick Murphy’s, and Demetri Martin. With all due respect you could probably call that first year a draw. Lupe Fiasco whether you like the type of music or not is a big act, a very big act, while Jimmy Fallon is a corky comedian, nothing great but not a complete failure. OAR and Dropkick Murphy’s were both solid grade B high energy acts, nothing big like Akon but they held their own while Demetri Martin was an excellent pick-up a young comedian arguably at the top of his game and undoubtedly 100x better than Jimmy Fallon. Now you fast forward to this year and you see Maine brought in Dierks Bentley, known almost exclusively to Mainers, and then the Decemberists (who?) while UNH’s SCOPE bring in Akon for their first act, a great pick-up as Akon is another big act like Lupe Fiasco, like the music or not. Maine counters this with Bob Saget, yeah, Maine just answered an Akon performance with Bob Saget. Just a week or so after Maine announces Bob Saget as our first comedian (note that UNH definitely won the battle of the music groups round, with one man (Akon) beating a band (Decemberists) and single artist (Dierks Bentley)) UNH’s SCOPE answers the call and absolutely, un-relentlessly, ridiculously owns the crap out of us by announcing their first comic act of the year, Bo Burnham. The moment this was announced I received ten texts from different UNH students rubbing it in my face. Ouch. I don’t want to hear about all the reasons with money, our location, our appeal, our audience why we can’t get big acts to come to Maine. I am not in college to be told why I can’t be entertained. I want big shows to be here. We are a college campus comparable in size to UNH and our students deserve better. How can we sit here and continue to see UNH’s SCOPE bring in bigger names and not start to wonder why our Student Entertainment can’t seem to compete?
If there is any and I mean any sense of Black Bear Pride in any part of the Maine Student Entertainment then we should expect to see at least one huge name announced for this year. If nothing else I said made sense, appealed to, or convinces any of you, please just consider the following. Prices for the shows for students (at both schools) range from about $18-$22. Essentially we are looking at what a student is getting for their $20.
If you look at it like this you’ll see why Maine is getting romped on and why I’m upset:
What UNH students can get for $100: Jimmy Fallon, Lupe Fiasco, Guster, Akon, Bo Burnham.
What Maine Students can get for $120: OAR, Dropkick Murphy’s, Demetri Martin, The Decemberists, Dierks Bentley, Bob Saget.
(just an interesting side note that I’m not going into detail about because I’m tired, but in 2007-2008 UNH SCOPE brought in Demetri Martin, Dropkick Murphy’s, Snoop Dogg, Ghostface Killah, and G-Love and Special Sauce) – You can see how that makes us, Maine, posers and is just an insanely awesome line-up of entertainment…
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

busy, crap.
Trying to write posts, but there's too much involved to do it right now.
One quick thing to hold some of you over...
quote of the day "this thing I'm squeezing creates a pretty good stream when it shoots out, and when i squeezed it, it accidentally shot to far and got all over my bag"
-This quote comes from one of my housemates, as he squeezed ketchup from a homemade pizza making kit onto his personal pan size pizza, he accidentally shot the ketchup passed the pizza and onto the other bag of ketchup (he was making two pizzas)
Thursday, October 8, 2009
Looking ahead
Yeah, actual posts that have to do with something other than The New Hampshirite or drunkenness.
They will be about swine flu and some policy ideas the universities should adopt in regards to swine flu and about the maine business school's purpose and an explanation as to why it may be better than Harvard, Yale, and other "top" schools.

Umaine Hockey, UNH Blogger, Live News
Ahhh right, UMaine hockey, young, but really moving into a year where they should be better than last and actually a bit more exciting with a projection to have a LOT more scoring than last year.
Ahh fuck who am I kidding I don't go to the hockey games because I'd rather watch the Celtics or go to the gym. Fuck me, right?
Doesn't change the fact that I am rooting for Umaine hockey, especially over UNH (unsure no hotdogs) ...yeah, i just said that. What!!
-why am I being so belligerant right now? No, I'm not drinking alcohol, however, I am drunk with emotion because of comments posted by the blogger The New Hampshirite under his post on the upcoming UNH hockey season, regarding OUR Umaine Blackbears...
when i posted this comment, respectively: "Maine will probably whoop UNH's ass this year... just sayin"
he replied with this... (also this is not the first time he has made this comment to me, and it's getting old and unoriginal) : "not gonna happen. mrs. karyia is done making babies, therefor Umaine hockey is nonexistent."
HOW DARE HE. What an asshole. Let's make him eat his words this season. In fact, swallow them whole, I hear he has that ability what with all his practice taking massive cock all the time at Gayhampshire.
(disclaimer: the new hampshirite is not gay and there is nothing wrong with being homosexual)
Let me leave you with this though; because it is beyond amazing: a local New York (go figure) TV news station broadcasted this live... and props to the anchor for coining a great phrase on such a big stage...
"k, I'll do that"
wtf???

The Maine Guy is still alive...
...but I do it because I know so many of you are worried about me and I want to let you know I'm ok! I haven't killed myself this weekend partying ....yet.
Fo' Real though, I'm busy doing the whole school thing. I'm super focused, super motivated, and at arguably my busiest two weeks of school, so I need to ride it out as long as it lasts. I promise a post sometime by Wednesday that should be extensive.
Also I am now a verified blog on the College Blog Network
...which is an awesome website of college blogs, peep that shit.
I'll leave ya'll with one of my own thoughts from the passed few days so this post isn't completely wasted...
I found myself staring at a girl walking on the sidewalk towards me around noon...she was a 6 or 7 on my 1-10 scale (10 being hot, 1 not) and my standards are mad high (it's bad, I know) well anyway... It was bad, I was grillin' this girl down, straight up undressing her with my eyes... it was so uncalled for.
Then I snapped outta my trance and realized she was doin' the same damn thing to me... I felt naked. So naked. Which is fine because I like being naked. ....just ask The New Hampshirite
So what I learned from that is... you can't spend 100% of your time checkin-out girls because you will miss the times they are checking you out.... btw girls are WAAAAY more discrete and well disciplined in checking out guys than guys are at checkin out girls. This is fact.
Also I realized if I could take my single self back in time to that moment, i would've winked at her or said something ridiculously seductive, yet... subtle. Like "hey, my eyes are up here."
Alright back to my studies in the library up here in North Bumfuck Maine. btw, there's mad pretty girls in here... i wonder if any of them have read this blog... prob. not, they're all reading the UNH blog... traitors.

Friday some UNH kids stopped by...
I can't recall or share much of what I could recall, so I'm just gonna share a few points.
-send one UNH student, and one Umaine student to a mobile by foot... with $12 cash to buy a pack of cigars and they come back with one cigarillo. wtf? (...they tried again 3 hours later and got it right, almost)
-UNH kids suck at beruit
-Maine is cold, especially when you're outside with no clothes on
-things that don't have a lot of 'give' and are generally painful when you hit them; walls, floors, cielings, railings, the ground, doors, tables, chairs, boots, etc...
-...i'm realy sore this morning, everywhere.
-camera's are one of the greatest and at the same time worst inventions ever
-I punched "The New Hampshirite" in the balls, Wicked hard, Direct contact, I don't know why, I am really sorry, and I'm staying the hell away from him in the future...
-Fireworks last night...i don't remember why, but there were fireworks at like 10pm...?
-my roommate is a strong dude, i have one flash of memory of laying on the floor, then being lifted by him and thrown like 20 feet
-huge rolls of paper towels are amazing... especially when they're free
-vodka and rum. do. not. mix.
I don't really feel like writing any more of this, so i'll go search for a few pictures to post but for now i'm done... October 9th a possible future shit show at UNH for me and the Hampshirite... if anyone is interested in meeting up we'll make it happen.

Awesome Tuesday (On a Thursday)
Where you AT, Bob Saget? QUESTION ANSWERED!!! he's right here in this funny ass clip that simply NEVER GET'S OLD
Where you AT, Umaine Big Name Performance Artist?
UNH has Akon, Umass got Jay-Z (wtf), QU got Thirdeyeblind... Keene State has some Asher Roth rumors floating around it... (on one of my buddies facebook status' from a kid I don't know... but still)
U Maine, Get Yo Fuckin' Shit Together. Dierks Bentley (i still don't even know who this moron is) is not going to cut it. We need a big name show to come here. OAR is nice, we should have shows like OAR and Dropkick Murphys at least twice a year... but on top of those we need at least one big name show a year... hell UNH had Lupe Fiasco last year... (btw i linked to an older Lupe song simply because it had Jill Scott in it, and her voice is OFF THE CHAIN!!!! and i'd even settle for her as a big name at this point, jeeeesus umaine get yo dick right)
Where you AT, The New Hampshirite?
-Normally he's tearing up shit on UNH grounds on the weekends in his quest to take UNH back to the top of the Nations party school lists... however this friday he will be here with another UNH buddy of his to party at my house. I know he has plans to make a damn fine post out of it, probably generate some hilarious photos.
Where you AT, Bo Burham?
-Answer... he's writing a musical or some shit like that... but he still has epic videos on his youtube and he's touring colleges I think... i'll leave Awesome Thursday with this song about the perfect women... hellen keller

WASTED WEDNESDAY
Title says it all.
This post is being presented to you via SHITTTY MODE
I am watching my sitemeter, and I realize that I am getting the NEW HAMPSHIRITE BUMP, much similar to the bump that the New Hampshirite got from his stupid school (UNH, FAGGOTS) newspaper TNH. Also much similar to the "colbert bump".
I figure I'll share a few stories to entertain you new visitors... mostly UNH dick suckers... it's okay though, I'm not judging you for sucking dick.... faggots...
I mean.. hell even I and Bob Saggot "suck dick for coke"
Alright so a story.... okay here's one that I actually heard from a kid at UNH when I visited last weekend.... briefly
basically he was drunk as FUUUUCK and he was texting a buddy trying to get him and some of his friends to come to a crazy ass party in his pad at the GABLES (oh yeah i know my UNH shiiit) and so basically must have been feeling pretty drunk and stupid and said to the kid via text "ya'll nigga's betta' let us in the club before ya'll nigga's catch a slug" .... that was it... he didn't know he did it till he read his messages the next morning... all people in this story are white... it's a shame... please black people do not get mad about this.. they are lyrics from a song (though i'm sure you all know that already) idk what song and i'm not gonna' google it, i'm taking my buddies word for it because i know he's not a racist and he loves black people... or at least tolerates them... (yeah i guess he's just an aquantance, please don't beat me up)
anywho.... here's another story of some FUUUUCKED up UMAINE shit... this story is mad nutzz...
basically two weekends ago this kid (who i later found out is the son of one of my professors at school) was drunk, and smoking mary J, which he had done a million times before (yet he's still just in highschoool, a senior) had something happen and he started flipping out and seeing shit, all of a sudden he was seeing "evil" in his friends and was trying to perform exorcisms on them.... he got a sword, full length, like the samurai sword type shit .... and started chasing his best friend since birth around all of maine... this kid then called a friend of mine to request a Drunk Driver pickup, and to meet him at a gas station, claiming it was urgent and no time to explain, just do it... no questions asked.
so my friend goes to get him... he comes running out of the gas station yelling "duuuuude i got this gas station boritto it's mad bomb!!!!! love this diahrrea shit!" and then my buddy asks, "so why did you need a DD, can't you walk home"
and he goes "naw this kid is chasing me all over town with a sword i was afraid to go outside"
well a weekend later i was hanging out at a party and there are two local highschool kids there... and they start telling me about how last weekend they had this big thing where one of them was trying to exorcise the other... and it was an awesome connection we were able to make when i said "oh shit, i think my friend was the one who DD'ed for you"
and i'm prettttty gone right now but there were mad funny things being sad between the kid with the sword and his best buddy, he was really trying to kill him that night and they said some ridiculous shit to each other.....
the moral of the story is.... don't try to perform exorcisms or chase your buddy with a fulll length sword...
You just GOTTA love wednesdays...
thanks to the new hampshirite for the shout out... faggot. also, i look forward to you being here friday and getting WICKED shitttty and getting in troube with me, hopefully we'll both make posts out of it... i think you readers will be thankful for our friendship... the new hampshirite is one of the nicest most geniune friends I've ever known, he really does have a great handle on the whole concept of life and what it means to him and his creative mind will be taking him places he could never imagine so you all need to please continue to read and comment on his blog HERE

Lactose Intolerance Awareness Day. Other stuff.
Let it be known that I am/was lactose intolerant. Let me explain.
Lactose intolerant means: Eating dairy = sitting on the shitter.
That means no butter, milk, cheese, (pizza, bagel with cream cheese, toast with butter, omelette, mac N cheese, etc... etc...)
Here's the WIKI if you'd rather get a real education...
To the point: I met a specialist, in neuro-chiropractic type stuff... idk but he's a specialist... he said "take these supplements, and don't eat any dairy for 3 weeks"
Well I just finished the hardest thing ever, not eating dairy for 3 weeks. I am slowing waning back onto dairy, so far, a little dairy today, and results are good. No symptoms.
Tomorrow I move on to pizza as the official test. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
There are a few other things I'd like to bring up right now in this post.
I was going to save this for tomorrow's AWESOME TUESDAY (where you AT?) post... but it's so great I need to post it now... Video of Delonte West (yes the bi-polar NBA star) rapping (supposedly high) at a KFC, waiting for 45 minutes for his chicken (he bought like $45 worth of chicken with one other guy), Truly a hilarious 7 minutes of priceless Delonte.
Oh and I recommend watching all the other hilarious youtube videos involving Delonte West... there's plenty. Here's one to get you started...

Weekend
-Supporting my sister as she takes part in the 800 person Triathlon in Freeport Maine: Read about Lobsterman Here
-Helping my other sister move into her new apartment in Manchvegas
-Visiting the Nike Employee Store (basically 50% off everything)
-Going home to do laundry and see parents, more importantly my Australian Shepard Patch.
-Going to visit my favorite subshop MOE'S ITALIAN SANDWICHES!!!
Probably no posts until Sunday/Monday
Though I picked up the Umaine Paper, The Maine Campus. I saw some articles in there that I wanted to write about... also H1N1 is a hot topic right, my law teacher said if we have a scratchy throat she recommends we quarantine ourselves in our basements... she's a strong personality.
-Please remember to comment, and also I forgot to mention that the quote below this post from my Management Information Systems teacher is funnier when you know that he is Bald and rocks a soul patch... and he's talking about the importance of Image... it was awesome comedy.
So with that I leave you with a picture of Patch: please leave comments!!!!

H1N1
One student from Cumberland Hall
One from Balentine.
A staff member
One off campus student.
One employee at remote location.
Maybe all those warnings in our syllabus' about what happens with class if there is an H1N1 outbreak were more serious than we thought... here's a link to the article.
I'm not being chicken little here.. okay, I don't think the sky is falling and everyone is going to die of H1N1... but if you start having flu-like symptoms, go get checked out and stay the FUCK out of class, the gym, and dining halls... thanks.
I don't want you all to leave reading this post scared, so please watch this 3 minute clip that should cheer you up... a joke from boondock saints
Sorry officer I do not consent to any searches...
If you get pulled over, if you're having a party, if you're sitting waiting at the bus stop... what kind of rights do you have when dealing with a police officer? Do you have to show them your ID? Do they have the right to search your car? Your backpack? Can they come in your house? When can you request a lawyer and refuse to talk?
In my law class today we watched a video promoted by the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union)
When we started it, I was thinking "Great another corny video narrated by some old guy who wants you to not break the law..." holy shit was I wrong. This grey haired man was basically telling you how to get away with being pulled over for speeding with your buddy high as fuck in the backseat with a bag of weed in your backpack. It was awesome.
This was in a 50 minute long class today, the video runs about 40+ minutes, we didn't start on time, but nobody even thought about moving until the video was done in class, and it ran 10 minutes passed the end of our class, AT LUNCH TIME.
It's that interesting. You will be locked in. Let it develop you will learn how to keep yourself safe from D-bag cops.
Enjoy the direct corny style! and props to the ACLU.
Flexing your rights!
p.s. really good timing with this video, The New Hampshirite is visiting next weekend and I'll probably need to know this stuff.

Where you AT?
Where you AT? - Good news for students of Umaine???
Ahhh there you are good news!! I found some good news in This Article By The Maine Campus.
I suggest reading the whole thing because it relates to the school's budget and plans for a bit of the immediate future (next two years) but in case you are a lazy ass, here are two very interesting points:
"Gregory said UMaine will likely migrate away from the WebCT program and switch to Project NG, a hybrid of Blackboard and WebCT, because the next version of WebCT has tools for such a migration and will soon be phased out.
“They’ll be the same product at that point,” Gregory said.
Gregory said the plan calls for replacing Microsoft Office at UMaine and its sister campuses with less expensive software such as OpenOffice. UMaine spends about $70,000 per year on licensing fees for Microsoft Office."
So I guess we can take a couple good things from this. We may finally get settled into one system hybrid of WebCT and Mainstreet instead of having to use both for different things, routing emails, being bothered by multiple IT problems.. etc etc... it's about time, This is my second year here but I've yet to see any semblance of consistancy.
Also it appears that Umaine might finally "get it" and be switching over to OpenOffice which is and always has been free and basically offers the same services as Word 2007. They are projecting that could save anywhere up to $70,000 a year on licensing fees alone. Not to mention WE THE STUDENTS will be saving a lot of money if a change like this is made.
Well maybe one of the most random stumbles I've ever done on the internet led me to this video of an alligator eating a gigantic bird!!! Oh wait, that's a frog eating a bird, WTF!!!
Moe's also got me thinking of my childhood, because Moe's subs is part of my upbringing, and so I found another video this time that represents a big part of my growing up... by the way, I dedicate this video to The New Hampshirite for properly calling out weeks and weeks ago on his blog that Kanye West is "(the guy is D-bag, don't support him)" and then again recently after Kanye's Most Recent Meltdown The New Hampshire had this to say "What Kanye did last night was low, immature and down right douchebaggic." So my video this Awesome Tuesday goes out to you New Hampshirite, Good for you New Hampshirite, you win again, HERE'S YOUR COOKIE.
Maybe another post later.. not sure. Def. Tomorrow unless something comes up. Please leave comments on all these posts. Also if you want to contact me, you can now do that via E-Mail at umoblackbears@rocketmail.com

Man, I'm so hyped right now!!!
So why am I feeling this way?? Did I win the lottery? Did I get laid last night? Did I notice an increase in blog readership??? No, yes, and No. The reason I'M SO HYPED RIGHT NOW is an E-Mail I received in response to an E-Mail that I sent to my favorite Sub shop of all time, you may have heard of it, Moe's Italian Sandwiches.
Just yesterday I was feeling down. I mean really having a crummy/bad/good-for-nothing day. You know the feeling. So I said to myself "Man what could make me feel better if only for the rest of the night?" The answer just popped into my head... A Super Original with Mayo from Moe's Subs.
I spent many a lunches at work this summer taking off to go pick up some Moe's subs for everyone on the crew at work, a quick 3 minute drive (though I would have drove probably up to 10 minutes, they are that good). We loved the subs, and the whoopie pies, and their selection of chips is near-endless, not too mention they sell Orangina which is my favorite soft-drink.
Well unfortunately Moe's has no sub shops anywhere near Orono Maine, and though I was sad when I reminded myself of this, just the thought of a Moe's sub instantly improved the rest of my day and I was able to cope with the emotions of life. Since I was so eternally grateful of this, I had to send an E-Mail to Moe's expressing my feelings. I felt compelled to do so because I was once told that the easiest way to make yourself feel good about your day is to do at least (and I mean at the very least) do one thing that will greatly improve another's day. I knew instantly my true feelings would not go unnoticed.
the following is a screen shot (my name and email edited out cause you don't need to know that) of the email I sent them over their website, and the reply I received from a member of the FOUNDING FAMILY of Moe's sub. An actual PAGANO family member. Lest I remind you that the response was in less than 24 hours, which is just another reason why Moe's is so AWESOME!
Note some of the key things in these E-Mails:
1) My passionate E-Mail that prompted the response
2) the actual quote from Moe's representative Cheryl Pagano "in a sea of very dull e-mails... yours made my day!" So what I had hoped for in doing something good for someone, actually happened, yay!
3) They basically want me to open a Moe's when I graduate.
4) They want to buy me lunch and talk Moe's with me... how wicked cool is that?

Thursday Photos
Also the toothpaste picture is again after I had already removed as much as I could with dry erase marker.... Post toothpaste the table is just a table so I'm not posting that picture.
Weekend Highs and Lows
Just a few drinks with one of the housemates. Well, just a few drinks too many... according to the permanent marker (blue sharpie) all over the kitchen table and floor. Names on the table, lines marking things on the floor... well this table is a legit wooden kitchen table that one of my housemates brought up here and a friday morning text, followed by a Friday morning call at my bedroom door alerted me that I had fucked this up, prettttty damn bad. (I think I have some pictures... I have to mobile post those later)
So being the person of strong character that I am, the first thing I did when I realized the massacre I laid down in the kitchen was get on google and look up ways to remove permanent marker.
I knew of one way... that is take a dry erase marker and write over the permanent marker, then wipe it down with basically anything but a paper towel (but i used paper towel so it fucked up).
so since i fucked that up, i used the next most convenient thing on the google search... toothpaste with baking soda in it... so I squeezed some toothpaste over the writing, and just did the whole wax-on wax-off action, and VIOLA! It worked, toothpaste, toothpaste removed permanent marker from the table... thank goodness because gasoline was next on the list... (just an FYI about diesel fuel while i'm thinking of gasoline... if you know you've been in poisen ivy and you want to make sure it doesn't show up in a day or so, rub diesel fuel over all areas you may have gotten it on, it dries up the poisen ivy, kills it. You'll never see the rash)
I'll post some pictures next, then maybe write another post explaining some more of them... they are all from thursday - on.

Teacher "...and for 5 extra credit points you can pick a day and go to court and witness any public hearing for an hour, provide a sketch and brief summary of your visit."

Teacher "...no not exactly you would be focusing on yourself in court I would hope"
Maine sign
In case your struggling with it, here are a few things to think about... the sign says "www.browniesbooksales.com
Parking In Rear"
ok first of all, brownies sell cookies, which is strange enough if you think about it, but in the case of this place, they are selling books, dvds, cds, vhs, and probably other strange things that the Average (below national average) consumer in Maine demands...
I understand these Brownies are selling stuff, I mean you have to support the troop right? But why are they advertising Parking In Rear?? Are they asking for trouble? Are they selling themselves in this shop too? I mean really, little brownies should not be advterising they allow parking in the rear, because then they can't win the lawsuits they later form against adults.
Summary for Non-Maine Residents: Don't worry, this type of underground solicitation of Brownies probably will never reach further than the border of Maine. You are perfectly safe in your state from our Maine Ways.
Summary for Maine Residents: Again, that store is located in Old Town Maine and is open 8-4:30 most weekdays and remember you're going there for books, dvd's, cds, vhs, and to park it in the rear of Brownies.
Overall Summary: Simply put, this is a Maine thing.

Where you AT?? (Awesome Tuesday)
So let me introduce you to AWESOME TUESDAY (AT) a post idea where I will post the most Awesome stuff I come across on my Tuesday without classes.
I'm really excited to start this first AwesomeTuesday by answering the posts ultimate question: Where you AT? (where is the awesomeness on my tuesday?)
The answer comes in the form of GUY DUPUY Simply put, if you don't know you better ask somebody. I recently spent time coaching youth basketball over the summer, one of my players started telling me who his favorite dunker was. It wasn't Michael Jordan, Dominique Wilkins, or even Chris "Birdman" Anderson. His favorite dunker was some no-name from a group of dunk/basketball enthusiasts calling themselves TeamFlightBrothers I was instantly intrigued by his selection because I knew that someone I had played a few games of pickup with on a few different occasions was part of TeamFlightBrothers (TFP) and was from my hometown in NH. So a shoutout to that man, Danny 4D Ford . BTW Danny 4D Ford's ability to dunk is outshined only by his personality, he has inspired more young kids to be good and keep playing basketball than can be counted by any one person.
Continuing with the basketball theme, where you AT basketball trick shots??? There's a thousand videos of basketball trick shots on the web, but really, they are the same old over the house, off the wall, shot from a bicycle lowered hooped shots... but today I stumbled across a highlight real that was pretty amazing, and ended with one of the coolest, probably hardest trick shots I'd ever seen done... skip to 2 minutes to get to what I'm talking about.
Tomorrow most likely, if I find time in my busy schedule of 3 classes...which I teach (not really) I will take and post a picture of a sign that probably only exists in a place like Maine, that involves Brownies (like the little girl kinds of brownies who sell cookies) and 'parking it in the rear'. Ya, trust me you wouln't want to miss out on that which will be a new regular post that I will do probably titled "It's A Maine Thing". Must read posts to educate outsiders on the way of Mainers and a good reflection of yourself if you're from Maine.
Shout out to The New Hampshirite over at The University of Nonsensical Happenings Blog, for his Awesomeness and for pointing out that most of my flaws can just be excused as "A Maine Thing"
Until then,

First Mobile Post
This Bear Just Don't Care
First Post / Labor Day
First of all I'm from New Hampshire and YES I really do go to Umaine, and YES I really do get asked "Why did you choose Umaine?" by anyone from New Hampshire.
My Response is always the same: Umaine has the better gym and I'm far enough from my parents they don't want to visit nor do they expect me home to visit.
That's all I'm going to bore you with about me.
Today is Labor Day and instead of reading a great blog from the other side of the spectrum http://unhblog.blogspot.com/ try spending some time learning what Labor Day is even about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_day
it's quite interesting. If you are unemployed and think having a job is not something that will ever be important to you, then go read http://unhblog.blogspot.com/
I'll try to find some ridiculous Maine picture or news story for you... err for me, tomorrow. Because remember I'm writing this blog for me, not for you, but that is what will make you love it, need it, crave it, so much.
