I'm proud to be an American, and a Mets fan.

What a couple of days, let me tell you! Sorry I know I said I would be more diligent with my posts, but being a college student gets tough towards the end of the spring semester. But on a better note the past fews days have been amazing! Formals this weekend was out of this world. Gatlinburg, TN will never be the same thats for sure. Honestly contemplated not coming back and just staying at the cabins forever. But alas,  I have returned to Blacksburg and turned on my grind to finish out the semester with a bang. I am now the assistant director of Hokies on Fire. If you don't know what that is then 1. get your life together and 2. attend Virginia Tech basketball games this upcoming season. But if that wasn't good enough news in itself,  Sunday night was of historical proportions.

The Mets beat the Phillies. Lets be real, it becomes quite a job being a New York Mets fan sometimes, and by sometimes, i mean all the time. But I stay true to my team. Thanks to a first time starter, Ronny Paulino, the Mets overpowered the Phillies, and earned the W, 2-1 in 14 innings. But surprisingly this isn't the best of the news. During the 9th inning, the fans, both Mets and Phillies alike starting chanting U-S-A after hearing the jaw dropping news that Osama Bin Laden, the leader of Al Qaeda, had been assassinated.

As a Navy brat, and residence of Virginia Beach, I've just gotta give a little shout out to the Navy Seals (stationed in Va Beach)  that made this happen. Also,  we need to remember that the real heroes are not GW and Obama, but the men and women who risk their lives everyday so that we can be free.


for your listening pleasure





Proud to be an American, just like always.
