Did someone say English?
First day of classes for me today. Sometimes I wonder why I bother to be an English major, but when I step into a class of 90 students, and 70 are girls, I have no regrets...

Class? I have five similar English classes with about the same ratio. And this is my third year, so I've had like a dozen of them. God bless university...

hey, this is just some crap I just wrote up for media studies class... it needs a title though, what should I name it?
---------------------------------------------------------
This offseason in the NBA, there have been blockbuster trades, big signings, coach hirings, and everything you’d normally expect to go on around the league. Another thing that happened was some teams getting new jerseys. Over the past two years, ten teams have either changed their jerseys or added an alternate jersey, including four this offseason. All of them did it for either better luck in the season, or to get a fresh look, but mostly to make more money. Teams like Orlando, the LA Lakers, or Toronto, who all have extremely marketable players in Tracy McGrady, Kobe Bryant, and Vince Carter, respectively, will gain lots of profits on jersey sales. A lot of fans or insecure, teenage, casual fans that want to look like true fans and shell out money to do so, will buy the new jerseys, even if they have the old ones.
The Cleveland Cavaliers and Denver Nuggets had the worst record in the NBA last season at 17-65 each, and both teams got new jerseys for the upcoming season. Cleveland now has arguably the best high school player of all time, on their team in Lebron James. Almost every person between the ages 10-25 knows who Lebron is, NBA fan or not. I’ve already seen James jerseys worn by kids, and the guy hasn’t even played a single NBA game! The Nuggets also got a great player in the draft, but of course he wasn’t as hyped or as good, frankly, as James, so not many people are wearing their jerseys yet. However, it’s not uncommon to see someone wearing a retro Nuggets jersey at all, which brings me to my next point.
Retro jerseys have been common and extremely popular the past couple of years. It’s amazing how they just bring back a jersey from the 80’s and suddenly, tons of teens are going out and buying them. It’s an absolute lack of originality, but hey, it sells. And as long as we see Bow Wow wearing a retro Nuggets jersey or whatever rapper wearing whatever old jersey, it’s going to keep selling.
Now, back to Toronto. The Raptors are getting a third jersey to be worn in some away games (at least 12) and will be shown to the Raptors fans on opening night. The new jerseys are supposed to try to connect better with the rest of Canada, as they will be red and will sport a maple leaf on the shorts. This move comes a week after the Toronto Blue Jays dropped the maple leaf from their logo. Explains Raptors president Richard Peddie, "We're not slamming the Blue Jays. We're just going in a different direction." A different direction will definitely be needed after a 24-58 season full of injuries to the Raptors’ best players, including superstar Vince Carter. But lets not kid ourselves, this is 99% a business move, especially after Carter’s amazing performance at the Olympic qualifiers for Team USA. Now that fans all over the league are jumping back on the Carter bandwagon, it’s a great time to release yet another jersey bearing his number and name.

What about "the price of uniformity." That might be clever enough to impress a high-school teacher. Just don't let any girls see the title, cause working hard in media studies class just isn't gonna get you any play.

So Ryan Malcolm won Canadian Idol. Big deal, right? Well, around here it is. This whole damn city is just Canadian Idol crazy...
We already gave him the key to the city. Now that he has won, what do they give him? The city?
It's funny how they had a big party for him at St. Laurence College, considering the fact he went there for one term then dropped out.

What's Canadian Idol?
Seriously I know what it is, or at least kinda... some stupid ripoff of American Idol? The really stupid show that stupid teens watch? Anyway never grabbed my attention... then again I don't consider myself a stupid teenage girl who wears sweatpants with the attention span of a poodle with my head shoved up my as</i>s.
