Perfect College For Me

     If I had to choose a perfect college for me I would choose CMU. Central Methodist University is the perfect school for me. It is a pretty small campus and a pretty good distance away from home, but Its close to Mizzou and I know people going there. Also I will get to play soccer at CMU, but if I went to a bigger school, my chances of playing would probably decrease quite a bit. I’m super excited because the perfect college for me just happens to be the college that I will be attending. 

Final Four!!

Hillcrest Hornet basketball is preparing to play the second Final Four game in the history of the school. The last time Hillcrest went to the final four, in 1984, they won the whole thing. I’m hoping the same thing will happen this year. The semi-final game is against Park Hill South which is the lowest ranked team is the final four, so we have a pretty good chance.

I don’t play on the team, but this is still really exciting for me. It’s really fun to support and help cheer on your fellow classmates and friends. It feels good to see them doing so well and it gives the school something to be proud about.

Mad Libs

Just for the fun of blogging, I am going to write a mad lib that was found on the internet.

Someday I want to ditch this milkman job and become a film director. I have a great script for an action movie.

It starts out with the badguy, Chris “Heat” Yippee Ki Yay Mr. Falcon, hijacking a 2000 gmc jimmy. The old lady fights him off, but Yippee Ki Yay Mr. Falcon starts firing his gun and hollering his signature line, “Yippee, toddlers!” He ties this one dude up and force feeds him a gallon of liquid nitrogen, so the audience knows this Chris character is mean and round.

Enter our hero, Jennifer Blue, who is a rookie wanderer. He is angry, because of a mysterious mishap with a mattress pad. The old lady, it turns out, was his evil step mother, so he chases the badguy down in a series of life-packed chase scenes that take place in motorcycles and trucks. It climaxes with a hip fight in a cottage.

“You’ll never get away with this!” Jennifer Blue yells as he punches “Heat” Yippee Ki Yay Mr. Falcon’s hip.

“Yippee, toddlers!” Yippee Ki Yay Mr. Falcon hollers back.

Blue beats Yippee Ki Yay Mr. Falcon, but it’s not over yet! There’s an explosive drainpipe that a man is unwittingly carrying to the very heart of Los Angeles! Blue races against time, snatches abasket away from the man, pulls out the drainpipe inside, and defuses it with just five seconds to spare!

Of course, it turns out that Yippee Ki Yay Mr. Falcon isn’t really dead. “Yippee, toddlers!” he screams, leaping to his feet and flexing his mighty eyelash muscles. But then Blue skewers him with adeck of cards, and it’s all over.

Turkey Day

         Thanksgiving is always a time to get together with family and stuff your face until you can’t eat another bite. Since you’re not supposed to break tradition, I had no option but to do this and it was wonderful. I had lunch with my dad’s side of the family and ate a ton, then, after a nap, had dinner with my mom’s side of the family. By the end of the day I had gained four pounds.

Thanksgiving break was a lot of fun as well, it was a little uneventful, but it was still a good time. All I did was watch a few movies and play video games, but that suites me just fine. However, school is back in session now, but only for a few more weeks, then its winter break… it’s so close, but yet, so far.  

The years first HTV

The first HTV of the year turned out to be more of a success than I thought it would be. Not because I have any doubt in the ability of this years staff, but because it’s the first HTV of the year. The first are always a little shaky. However, everybody worked really hard and got some stuff done.

I started the year off with a commentary which, in my opinion, wasn’t too bad. It was about our big switch from cable channel 25 to the CW. The show will be airing this saturday September 26 at 2:30. Everybody watch.

Plans for the Summer

       This is supposed to be the last blog of the year, so enjoy. The easiest topic out of all the others is “what are you planning for the summer?”. This will be answered in one, very, very short paragraph. 

This summer I am going to go to France and Spain for vacation, work at the O’reilly warehouse, go on a couple camping trips, try to hang out with all my friends, play soccer, play basketball, take a road trip, go swimming, go fishing, and I can’t think of anything else. I’m sure a lot more will come up, but thats the basic plan.  

For HTV Magazine, I’m Michael Freeman, and I am done blogging for the year   

Day Ten

12

12:10 a.m. central time saturday march 28

I have been dreading the moment, that I knew would eventually come, and I would have to inform you of this; this is the last blog of the trip. However, monthly blogs will still be available at this website. Also, feel free to watch all the videos and leave any comments and such.

We received quite the treat this morning. Coach decided we didn’t have to be on the bus till 10:30, which meant we got to sleep in until 10:10, or at least I did. I’ve seemed to make a habit of getting up last. So, we get on the bus and eat at a place called the Pancake Pantry. I had chocolate chip pancakes and they were delicious. After stuffing myself, almost to the brink of explosion, Kelton, Caleb, Brandon (our producer), and I set off to find a story. After checking out a few local stores, we found a place that practically told the story itself.  It was Daves Cookware, but you’ll have to wait a day or two, until the new stories are on the website, to see it. If I were to begin explaining it, my blog would be as long as Caleb’s from New York, so I won’t put you through that. After we were finished with that we got on the bus and headed to the opry area. There was a mall and the grand ol’ opry.  I did not go to the Opry, so I (along with other people) went to the mall and walked around for a couple hours. We found a place to watch the games and then went to bus and are on our way home.

Sorry to rush the ending, but I’m sick of blogs. 

Also, If anybody reading the blogs have noticed the weird titles, they have been the day of the blog but in a different language for every title. Hope you enjoyed following along.

12:15 a.m. central time friday march 27

Today we loaded the bus at 9 and began our journey to Nashville. We arrived around 5:30 and unloaded the bus. Soon, we went downtown and ate at a very delicious steak and spaghetti restaurant. Caleb, Kelton, and I then went to a bar and grill type restaurant to watch the Mizzou and Memphis game. Mizzou won, which made the day so much better. Now we’re back at the hotel and hittin the hay. Tomorrow we will be spending the day in Nashville and then heading home late that night. Only one day left!

11:48 eastern time wed. march 25

This morning we got on the bus in Virginia Beach and went to Charlotte, NC. We stopped at the Lowe’s Motor Speedway and took a tour of the nascar track. It was a tad bit more interesting than I thought it would be, which was pleasant. We then went to our hotel and unloaded the bus. Some people went to the mall and others stayed at the hotel. I went to  the mall and bought some jeans and then the ride home made the trip even better. We began to board the bus then we quickly found out it was the wrong one, so we got off and waited for the next one. We boarded this one and about ten minutes into the ride, we were informed that it too was the wrong bus. Some local people on the bus told us to get off at the next exit and take a train to our hotel. We followed their directions and sure enough, we arrived at our destination. The night would not be finished until a little bit of running up and down the hallways and being loud. Now that thats over, most are beginning to retire for the night.  

From Charlotte, NC, I’m Michael Freeman blogging.
