Blog #1

My name is Daniel Snyder and I was born and raised in the state of Maine. I lived in the small town of Shapleigh, Maine from birth until the end of third grade and then moved to Kennebunk. My parents made the decision to move to Kennebunk in order to seek a better education for my sisters and I. This summer, I worked as a garde manager at Hurricane’s Restaurant in Kennebunkport. I am currently in my second semester of my freshman year at Nichols College. The main reason, I attended this school was for its men’s soccer program and the school’s sport management major. I have played soccer as long as I can remember; my dad coached a town recreation team for a few years starting when I was five. In this class, I hope to further my knowledge and experience with power points and excel. The blog that I have chosen is http://soccerblogs.net/ . I chose this blog because I love the game of soccer, and this blog breaks down into several different international soccer leagues.

Hello my name is Janine Coleman and I am a freshman here at Nichols College, Class of 2015 and I'm majoring in Business Management. I have the privilege of being from one of the greatest cities in the world which is Boston Massachusetts. I love that I am from Boston and get to tell people that every time they ask me. Growing up in this city has helped me learn some valuable lessons and grow as a person. As I got to the age of 15 years old I started working for the city at many of their summer programs they offered. For three years I worked at George Wright Golf Course as Caddie Scholar at first then going to Junior Golf Management. I did many things at the golf course from maintenance around the fairways and greens to teaching children how to play golf. After having that job I went for something with more responsibility and a higher pay, therefore this past summer I became a supervisor at a camp site in South Boston and I am hoping to get that job this coming summer. In high school I played softball for all four years and I played volleyball for three years; during my junior and senior I was captain for both teams. I was president of the National Honors Society, a part of our senior class committee and was voted prom princess. Some of my favorite hobbies are designing clothes, reading books and hanging out with my friends and family.

There are many things that I would like to learn more from this class because I have previously taken this class in high school, but I have forgotten some things I learned therefore this class would be a great help to remember some of those things, but also to learn new things as well. I do know something's about the computer and different programs on it, but it would be able to learn all aspects about things on the computer and advance my skills.


The blog that interests me very much is a blog about the show on TLC "Say yes to the Dress". This is about the show and how the staff at Klienfeld do there absolute best to help each bride find their dream dress. There are videos and clips of the show on there that anybody can watch and I know that it is credible because this blog is on the TLC's official website. This blog interests me very much because I love when a tv show has to deal with fashion and dresses because one day I want to have my own label and design things for women and tuxs for men to wear that I know they'll love.

Talia Hohmann

        Hello everyone. My name is Talia Hohmann but, you can call me Tally. I am 18 years old and I was born and raised in the beautiful Monterey, California.  Monterey is on the central coast of California where golfing, surfing, kayaking, and beach going are just a few activities that can be enjoyed. There you could always find me on the beach or on the rink. My passion, my hobby, and my main interest have and will always be hockey. I worked as a referee and scorekeeper at my local roller hockey rink and for my mother’s pasta company I would make pasta and sell her products at farmers markets. This may seem eccentric but I am a Bigfoot believer. In some point of my life I would like to make the hunting and studying of Bigfoot my profession alongside being a Zumba instructor. Some other things I enjoy are making dance videos with my friends, cooking, working out, wake boarding, and traveling. I have been all around North America and Europe; most of the East Coast, Alaska, Canada, Mexico, and London etc. My plans for after college always change at least every month but as for a life plan all I know is I want to marry a rich man and have all sons that will go into the NHL.

       By taking this course I hope to learn how to make and use different media outlets that communicate and market a specific subject. As of now I have a general business major but hope to switch to a marketing major. Hopefully this class will help me use attractive video, audio, and text that bring in my audience. Today’s companies and organizations, large and small, use different types of media to reach and retain their audience.

        I am always interested in women's sports and how they are growing and improving. I stumbled upon this website http://www.womentalksports.com/ and it provided me with media coverage of all female athletes.It deals with all sports from wake boarding to roller derby and from MMA to cheer. Provided in the website is a calendar of all sporting events and a media player that features athletes pod casts. The blog is run by a group of women who are media professionals and athletes.

Nick Tessier

My name is Nick Tessier, a freshman here at Nichols College. I come from the small town of Oxford just a few minutes down the road, living there my entire life. I played football for 11 years including all four years of my high school career; where I earned multiple awards for my numerous achievements. Also in high school, I competed in outdoor track and field all four years as well as indoor track for my junior and senior year.  I spend my spare time working at Guardian Glass in Webster loading trucks with units of glass. I have worked there since the beginning of this past summer and have cut my hours since enrolling at Nichols. I chose to commute to college, seeming how it would be nearly pointless to spend thousands of dollars to live in a dorm, compared to paying zero dollars to live at home and make a simple ten minute ride every day. I am majoring in criminal justice, and hope to eventually pursue a career as a police officer.  I decided to take this class because I believe that computers are a technology that us as a age group need to know pat. Computers will be around for a long time and knowing how to operate the computer efficiently will help me as a whole to communicate with others. Computers may be a requirement someway with my job in the future as well so it will definitely be a necessity to know a lot about them.

The blog that I have chosen is that of my favorite football team the Baltimore Ravens. I know that I will get a lot of abuse for being a ravens fan for their playoff performance but a true fan knows you have to stick in for the good and bad. The team’s media hosts a blog on their website that goes into detail on the opponents for that week and different updates that happen on the team such as injuries and game plan for that week. The blog always interests me because it is something that is different and puts interviews of the team for that week.

Hello: My Name is Shaun Delaney

My name is Shaun Delaney and I am from Woburn, Massachusetts. I initially grew up in Chelsea, Massachusetts, a city just outside of Boston, the greatest city in the world. I moved from Chelsea around the age of 8 years old to another city about 20 minutes from Boston called Woburn. When I am not at school I am usually working full time for my city. This consists of landscaping, plowing, painting street lines, basically anything that needs to be fixed or done in my city its done by the city workers. I am very lucky to be able to have this job, I got this job through my father, who also works full time, all the time for the city. I'm very happy to be able to have this job because of how much I learn. When I am not working I like to spend my times with my friends just having a fun time. Other hobbies of mine include going to the gym, playing lacrosse, and working down at my friends garage.

What I would like to take from enrolling in this course is to have a better understanding of computers. I am not the fastest type so hopefully this class will improve this skill. Also I have friends who have taken this class and they told me that i will learn how to use powerpoint better and microsoft word, this is something i would also like to impove on.

The blog I chose was the blog about Mark Hoppus, a member of one of my favorite bands Blink-182. His blog basically consists of his day to day activity, keeping people posted about what he his doing and whats to come from his band. I found it interesting because as i said before Blink 182 is one of my favorite bands to this day, and so i think its interesting to see what new things they have to offer as a group. http://www.bompa.com/profile/markhoppus/blog/

About Me

My name is George John Louzek III. The reason I give my full name is because I’m named after my father, grandfather, and many other men in my family, and I take pride in that. I’m from Hollis, New Hampshire, which is pretty much a small historic farm town located in the woods of New Hampshire. I’m currently a freshman, studying business/sports management as my major, I haven’t really decided yet. However, I would like to minor in psychology. I’m also a member of the men’s lacrosse team at Nichols College, where I play defense. Later in my life I would like to own my own health center or gym if that’s how you would like to look at it. I’ve always been really loved fitness and people will always be looking for somewhere to exercise, so I think there is a lot of money to be made being the owner of a gym. And as a plus, it would be job that I love waking up and going to every morning, so I guess it wouldn’t really be a job at all. I’ve only ever had two jobs in my life. The first was working at a vineyard, where I learned to grow grapes, and make wine. My second job was building brick patios. I guess you could say they were pretty cool jobs. Some of my hobbies and interests are lacrosse, going to concerts, wakeboarding, and racing motocross. I actually don’t race anymore, I used to race from the time I was young up until about the end of high school, but I stopped so I could focus on my future. But I still try to ride any chance I can get.

                I hope to learn how to be a better user of technology. At the moment you could say I’m a little behind when it comes to using computers. So I would really like to learn how to use blogs and websites such as Twitter. I would also like to learn how to design my own websites. I think that could be a very useful skill in the future, considering everything is technology based now.

                A blog that I found interesting was a blog by the AMA, also known as the American Motorcyclist Association. The blog was helpful information, tips, as well as many interesting stories that people post describing their experiences with different things or at different events. I found this blog interesting and credible because it covers major events that take place in the word of motorcycles, and it is also commonly posted on my professionals. http://www.americanmotorcyclist.com/blog

I am Anthony Taylor, Born in the birth place of basketball Springfield Ma. I work for Lenox saw we are one of the largest saw manufactures in the United States. I am a freshman and a General Business major. My hobbies consist of partying, playing basketball, working out, and hanging out with my friends.

Some of the general things I want to learn from this course are to become better with computers. Another thing I plan on learning is to type faster and possibly get better at blogging. I would also like to learn how to make my own website.

My blog is about Kobe and Lebron it is about there NBA rival over the years it illustrates both of the competitive nature and drives. It is a blog saying how these two are the greatest in the league and it’s not a rivalry just great talent being showcased on the court.

Raul Oliva

Hello, my name is Raul Oliva, from Stamford CT. I am a 18 year old college freshman at Nichols College. I am majoring in Sport Management and I want to one day work for the NBA. I am hispanic and am one of four children. I love playing, watching and talking basketball. I had a paid internship for two years  which was working for a small aquarium on a beach. It was a really fun job because I got to meet new people almost every day. I also learned a lot about marine life. The most interesting thing that happened to me there was that they recorded me because I helped make a promotional video for them. The best thing about working at Soundwaters was that I got to meet a lot of people from different towns that came by. Also I got to work with many different marine animals and experts which I learned a lot from. I would usually go to school then work then play a couple of pick up games of basketball. It was a lot of fun and the job taught me some valuable skills like communication, flexibility, organization, and a good work ethic. 

I hope to learn a few things from this class. I want to improve my knowledge on all the Microsoft offices like Excel and Powerpoint. They all are very important to know how to use because a lot of companies ask if you have any skills in them. It also will help me in other classes when I have to use these programs for projects and presentations. 

The blog I found was a basketball blog you can find on NBA.com. It basically talks about the most recent activities happening with players like who’s on a role and who’s on a slump. It also discusses trades, hiring, firing, or what teams need.  If you like basketball, you will find it very interesting. Another reason I like it is because it has many different writers so you get different view points which you are able to form your own opinion. 

Hang Time Blog

NBA

My name is Hans

            My name is Hans Riemer, and I am your fellow student. I am 19 years old, and I have been living in Groton Massachusetts (not to be confused with Groton Connecticut) for the last 18 of those years. I am an international business major, and I want to go into sales as a career, so I am thinking about minoring in marketing. I am an excellent sales person. I started this career in middle school where I sold soda, gummy bears, gum, as well as loans. I was a 12-year-old loan shark! I was born in Minneapolis Minnesota, but I remember very little from then. Anyway, I am a freshman here, and I live in Budleigh. I do not have a great deal of official work experience. I worked in a café in the center of my town, but that did not work out so well. I had asked for vacation time, got it cleared, and while I was on vacation, I got a call from my boss asking where I was. So I was temporarily fired (because they wanted be back in about 3 months). This was sadly after only a few days of working. My next job was at a Dunkin Donuts and Baskin Robbins combined. This required me to learn how to make all of the Dunkins products, as well as stuff from Baskins. I really liked this job because I worked with a good friend from my school, and almost everyone there was my age, so we got along very well. I still have really close friends from there. Anyway, I soon became very good at the job, and customers would specifically ask for me to make milkshakes and lattés. I had a great deal of fun working there, and making money never hurts. I would recommend working at a Dunkins to any of my peers unless you are unfriendly and do not like human interaction (I can not imagine this because people from Nichols or very nice).

            So aside from working, I am an outdoors type of guy. I started skiing at a very young age, then switched to snowboarding after 8 years of skiing. I have been snowboarding for 7 years now. I used to love riding my bike through the woods, and I had always had a longing to ride motor vehicles. I finally got a dirt bike, and this was one of the most exciting things I had done in my life. That was about 4 years ago, and I have owned 4 bikes. I can get more into this later, but I absolutely love riding. During high school, I would go to school, come home, and jump on my bike and head into the woods for hours. I still love riding, but unfortunately have not found a place to store my bike here at school. Aside from riding my dirt bike, I like driving, making money, being with my girlfriend, and hanging out with friends. I really enjoy people. Just interacting and being with them is enjoyable to me. I’m very easy to get along with, and I am easy going or ‘chill’ as kids these days would call it. In fact, I graduated middle school with an award for being ‘most laid back’. I’m not kidding.

            So from this class, I hope to learn more about using computers in general. I took a computer apps class in high school and have been using computers for quite a while, but as I have learned, one can always learn more. So I want to learn more than how to use Microsoft office, but I still would benefit from relearning these things.

            The blog that I found interesting is about dirt bikes. What a surprise! The blog talks about many different aspects of dirt bikes and riding. There are posts about different riding techniques, as well as maintenance, advice, tips, and even videos. This is basically a one-stop place for information relating to dirt bikes. This interests me because like I said earlier, I can always learn more, even with years of experience. Here is a link to the blog:Dirt Bike Blogger

the picture is of my current dirt bike. Its nothing new or special, but its fast and fun, which is the point of riding in the first place. for anyone who knows about dirt bikes, its a Yamaha YZ400f.

My name is Tahkeya Blake, its not hard to say i promise. Sound it out TA - KEY-AH. I'm from Worcester, Ma. I am a freshman in my second semester at Nichols. I am a commuter and I am a Business Communications major. I commute because I can't see myslef ever living in a small town like Dudley. I would go carzy out here but commuting back and forth is working out for me right now. i work at Moe's Southwest Grill. I'm sure most of you have heard of it. Yeah, I yell "Welcome to Moe's" at least 50 times a day almost everyday. People always ask if i get sick of it but I'm use to it its a way of life now.

I don't have many hoobies, when I am not at school or working I like to just chill out and have a good time with maybe a few friends. I hope to learn a little mroe about computers in this Digital Applications course. I know some things but hopefully the course will teach me some things that I didnt know and expand my knowledge a bit further.

I love music. Music is probably one of the most important things in my life. I listen to a little bit of everything but Hip Hop is by far my favorite genre. The blog I chose to include is one of the more well known Hip Hop music blogs. http://www.hiphopmusicdotcom.com/

 I am Ben Lau, 18 years of age, a Chinese American who lives in Sharon, Massachusetts. I work as a Sushi Chef at my family's restaurant, Asia Grill and Sushi which now had been open for about little over a year, and is located in Mansfield, MA. In my past job experiences, I have also been a waiver for a tax company, Liberty Tax Services in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. I'm currently now a freshman in college and my major is in computing. I hope one day to become a computer engineer. As for pets, I have two dogs, both are girls, a Pomeranian, which is five years old and a three year old Miniature Schnauzer.  My hobbies are playing and watching sports, like Baseball, basketball and football. I also enjoy watching TV, playing video games, making money, and especially spending time with family and friends.

I hopefully want to learn more about and get out of this course, digital applications are maybe about learning more about computers and how to use certain applications or programs. I want to gain more knowledge about computers and what it’s capable of doing, what programs to use for curtain things or situations. I hope to learn what the digital applications class has to offer. Knowing more doesn’t hurt; I’d like to know more about Microsoft office, including its Microsoft word, Excel, PowerPoint.

This being my first blog and all, I remember recalling that one of my friends had written her first blog and had introduced her dog. Whenever I think about blogging, my friend’s first blog always comes to mind. Reasons being because she is one of my closest friends, and I was interested in what she had to blogged. She talked about her dog, which is her first dog in her first blog, she blogged about how her family had adopted her dog and how he is basically her best friend. Besides the dog not always listening or behaving which he doesn’t, he is still loved by my friend’s family and does not ever regretting going to the animal shelter and adopting him. I was interested and had picked my friends blog because, I myself is a dog lover. 

My name is Riley Hodge, I'm from sturbridge MA.  I'm a second semester freshmen at Nichols College in Dudley MA.  I live in Center Hall (trailer park).  I plan to major in ITM and minor in Criminal Justice Management.  I started working at a Candle Factory (Mole Hollow Candles) in my home town and continue to work there during school.  A few years ago my Dad, me, and my brother decided that we would get a Kettle Corn Machine and make hand pop'd kettle Corn.  We set up usually every Saturday in Charlton MA, depending on the weather.  It's a great experience and talking and engaging with customers helps and hopefully contributes to future employments.  Dealing with the public always has its peaks and valleys.  Days we kettle corn are long and if we do an event extremely tiring.    

 My junior year I had the first of three back surgeries and missed about 120 days between both my junior and senior year of high school.  The surgeries also postponed my freshmen year of college and so I worked that year.  I bought a 2011 Hyundai Elantra last march, as of now it only has 3600 miles on it. I'm hoping it will last a while.  My hobbies consist of playing basketball, lifting, rowing, and I dabble a bit in video games.  I'm not exactly sure what I hope to gain from this course, maybe learn more ins and outs of Microsoft power point, so future projects are top notch.

The choices are endless as my mind wondered and thought all about picking what blog to choose.  With the recent excitement for us Patriot fans I've decided to go with a blog all about the New England Patriots.  There is a video that talks about their win on Sunday against the Ravens.  I believe this blog is credible because its part of ESPN.  this blog interests me because I've always been a fan of the Boston teams Celtics, Patriots, Bruins, Red Sox.

Hello my name is Stephen Manoukian. I am from Billerica, Massachusetts. Most people from my area don't like Billerica too much. We're more of a hick town and the reason most towns hate ours is because we dominate in most sports, especially lacrosse. Though we may not win the state championships each year we almost always have above 500 records. Throughout my life I have played hockey, golf, and a little bit of lacrosse. I play club hockey for Nichols College and as of now hold a 3.0 GPA. I'm currently undeclared, but plan on majoring in accounting. My work experience includes teaching kids how to skate, maintenance on a golf course, and a cook in a sub shop.

From this course I plan on becoming more computer savvy. I can honestly say I am very unintelligent with technology. I know most of the basics, but I still have troubles with most technology. I still own a flip phone and the first type of Ipod. With this class I hope to improve my computer skills to help with my other classes.

My first thought of looking for blogs was to look up something about hockey, because it's my favorite sport. With this I figured I'd look for something about fighting, due to the fact that I wrote an argument paper in my Expository Writing class last semester. So I chose this blog about the fight between Colton Orr and Todd Fedoruk. This was a fight which ended in Todd Fedoruk getting knocked out. This fight started a large debate in why hockey should not have fighting anymore.

~Skye~

 

My name is Skye and I am from Westfield/West Springfield, Ma. I am a freshman at Nichols College and I reside in Budleigh Hall. This past November I turned 18. I am double-majoring in criminal justice and psychology. I plan to enter the criminal justice field and become a police officer, FBI agent, forensic scientist, and possibly a criminal profiler.

I have several piercings, a couple tattoos(planning to get more) and dye my hair radical colors constantly. I am that type of girl that likes to be different, although I tend to stay to myself. I am interested in cars and trucks, especially muscle and sports vehicles. I love doing extreme and crazy things, and hope to one day (soon) go skydiving, white water rafting, zip lining, racing, etc. I wish to go snow mobiling and jet skiing also. In 8th grade I had the opportunity to fly a Cessna 172. 

I had gone to a vocational school, specializing in culinary arts. I currently work in the culinary arts field at Landmark, an assisted living center, in West Springfield, Ma. I have past work experience in several odd jobs, including retail, painting, carpentry, supervising, paper route, etc. 

One thing I love doing is taking nature photos. I have albums full of sunsets and rivers, rippling water, billowy clouds with sun rays shining through, animals, and more..

 In this digital applications course, I hope to better my skills in the Word program, learn effective digital communication in various media, and develop technology-based communication skills needed for both personal and professional activities in my future.

When searching for a newsworthy blog, I stumbled across one exploring the history of dog training. This interests me because I am an animal lover, and I own two dogs, a pomeranian mix and a jack russel (among other various animals). This "Champion of my Heart" blog discusses the book Good Dog, written by Steve Dale. It talks about how people should tell their dogs what they want, by way of positive reinforcement, as opposed to telling them what you don't want, as in discipline. This is a credible source because the author of the blog spoke directly to the author of the book, and got the information first-hand.

About Me: Kerry

My name is Kerry Postale and I am a freshman at Nichols College. I am 18 years old and my birthday is August 17. Interesting fact, my best friend has the same birthday as me and it's cool to celebrate our birthday with each other. I am from Shrewsbury, Massachusetts and I have lived there for my entire life. I love Shrewsbury because my family is in close proximity to my house. My grandparents are about 5 or 10 minutes away from my house, which is great because I can always visit them. Talking about my grandparents makes me realize how close I am to my family and friends. I couldn't live without my parents because I have a great relationship with them. I only have one sister and she is 4 years younger than me. It's very interesting that she is taller than me, but younger.

As a freshman at Nichols, I am majoring in Hospitality Management. My dream job is to be a wedding planner. I love seeing people happy and I know they should be happy on their wedding day. I hope to own my own wedding planning business in Boston someday because I believe Boston is a great place to have your wedding.
 

In this class, I hope to learn more about PowerPoint, excel and Microsoft word. I want to be able to make me presentations stand out among others and I know this class will do just that.

Because I want to be a wedding planner, I searched blogs about wedding planning and I found this blog called head over heels. The link to this blog is http://www.perfectweddingguide.com/wedding-blog/. This blog is about wedding ideas to make your wedding a magical day.


As a person who loves the computer, I go on Facebook, Twitter and I started going on this new website called Pintrest.  http://pinterest.com/. It’s a great website where you can pin pictures or videos on boards. It’s very cool and it’s exciting to see who is following your boards and who likes your pictures or videos. This is about me and I am never going to change J

Intro of me....

Alright hello my name is Wesley Williams. I was born in Bakersfield, California, and have lived in 6 different states from then. The most recent was Palm Beach, Florida then I got recruited, and decided to come to Nichols College. I am 18 years old, and a Freshmen. I've never had a job, and I play football for Nichols College planning to get number 4 next year. I like working out, getting good grades, playing madden, well basically I like doing anything fun. My favorite football team is the Oakland Raiders, and the Florida State Seminoles, and my favorite basketball team is the Pheonix Suns. I don't really know what I hope to gain from the course but I have to take it. I honestly hope I learn how to make highlight tapes from the course since it has to do with computers, but follow me on twitter @Uhh_Problem. I also found an interesting article about Drakes album take care remaining at the top of the charts in the music business. I love music so i found it interesting, and even tho him, and Common are going at each other Drake remains still making a lot of money actually gaining fans.http://www.hotnewhiphop.com/drake-s-take-care-remains-top-selling-album-on-charts-news.1273.html

Who I am

Hello, my name is Alexandria Fisher. I am a freshman majoring in Criminal Justice and Psychology at Nichols College. I am from Warren, RI. The town I grew up in is a small rural town, on the coast of the Narragansett Bay. In the past I've worked at Dunkin Donuts, Gillete Stadium and the Boys and Girls Club. I am currently in Digital Applications and part of my required assignments is to create a blog and write about certain topics. What I am hoping to get out of this class is a better understanding of the computer, besides Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Office, because I already have an immense knowledge of these Microsoft Office Programs. I am hoping to learn about what else the computer has to offer and learn how to work my way around computer main functions such as Control Panel, etc. Since I have to start my own blog I figured that I would look up blogs about things that interest me. I decided to research about animals, because I have an immense love for animals. I found a blog called Talented Animals Blog and it talked about this woman who had lost her dog while she was in the woods and how it was a horrible time for her. When I read this I thought about how I would feel if I lost my animals, specifically if I lost my cat Sara. I would be besides myself because she has been there with me through everything, though people feel animals aren't really part of the family I always have felt that they are.

Me

I’m Bill and I like all sports, Boston is the city of champions and I’m proud to be from near by. I personally am from a small town just south of Boston called Hanover. My highschool was less then 1000 kids so I have a lot of close friends back home.  In High School I played hockey and football so I am well rounded with my tastes in sports. I never got to play my senior season of hockey due to my third concussion, trust me I wanted to play but couldn’t. Call me spoiled but I do have season tickets to the Pats, but I have yet to see a game live this season due to school. For the most part I am quite a laid back and relaxed person if you get to know me. I go to the gym every day except Sundays; you could say I am addicted.  Also quite the car junkie but unfortunately I totaled my last car and currently do not have a license. I hope to learn many things in digital applications. One thing I hope to learn is how to be effective an educated in Microsoft excel. A blog that interests me is blogs.highperformancepontiac.com. I like this blog because it is all about my favorite type of cars Pontiac. From modifications to models this blog has it all find it insightful for any task I would take on regarding cars. My last car was a Pontiac and it was a superb machine. I would not trade it for anything, but unfortunately it’s not with us today. When I do get my next Pontiac (Yes the car line is discontinued) I will definitely turn to this blog for help and advice with my car it is very helpful. Overall there are many blogs I could have chosen I just picked this one because it was unique to me. 

The Most Interesting Man in the World?

 Hello All,

My Name is Bobby Ricci, no not Ricky Bobby and no I'm sorry but I am no nascar driver. Don't let the title fool, you cuz my story is one to not be forgotten. I am proudly from Chelmsford, MA and in high school I enjoyed playing football. Since the young age of 7, I have known I wanted to become a police officer for the state of Mass, so that is what brings me to Nichols College. I am a Criminal Justice major, and planning on a minor in history. After college I plan to join the National Guard, just to assure my place on the State Police, I will be Military Police for my time in. My family is a huge part of my life, and I wouldn't change a damn thing, I know that we aren't normal, but hell we have fun. Though we had a rough football season, playing college football was fun and a new experience for me. I was lucky to start 7/10 game for Nichols in only my freshman season. My football number is #77, and I've incorporated it into my life. (lol) My favorite sports teams are the Oakland Raiders, New England Patriots, and the Boston Bruins. Though these teams can and most likely will break your heart, I love em till the end. I plan on success and nothing less, whether it is the easy road, or takes me years of frustration, it will happen. People will remember this name.

Honestly, I am not sure what I am looking to gain from this class, but I would like to become better with Word and other computer applications. I would like to know exactly what I am doing with the computer, rather than just guess most of the time. So, hopefully this class can provide that to me.

As I was searching for blogs, I came across one that talked about famous football players who never won a super bowl. The name that most stuck out to me was Randy Moss. I had always figured that he had won at least one in his historic career. This year it is a repeat of the 2007 massacre with the New England Patriots and the New York Giants. Personally, I hope the Giants get flattened. I have never liked them, and the '07 Super Bowl didn't help one bit. I am predicting 31 - 17 Pats. LEGGO!
