"Wicked Smaht"

Up until recently, I was unaware of how much I loved being from New England. Being a "Masshole" is awesome, for many reasons. Not only does everyone question you about Tom Brady or clam chowder, everyone I have met since coming to campus that has been to the area has said that Boston is one amazing place. It is full of energy and history, amazing food and fashion, and definitely has unique character. It is an extremely special place, and most people know about the quirks that come along with being a Bostonian. While I am certainly not an expert on the subject, there are aspects to this great place that I would love to talk about, both personal for me and overall Massachusetts things. Movies, food, sports, places to visit or vacation, and so on would be the topics of my blog. I would also discuss major events like the Boston Marathon Bombings, especially since I was actually present at that marathon. Basically this blog would be the beginners guide to New England and Massachusetts primarily, and my personal views on the subjects being discussed. My blog title would be something along the lines of "Wicked Smaht" because hopefully after the semester, you will feel wicked smaht on the subject of Boston and Massachusetts.


"Clear eyes, full hearts, can't stop watching"

Something else I have a bit of a passion for is a few different series on Netflix, HBO, etc. I would delve into Game of Thrones but even I being an avid fan of the show, get confused often and resort to the Internet for help on keeping up with Khaleesi and Jon Snow. However, a great show I have just recently finished on Netflix and love with all my heart is Friday Night Lights. I know many people that dearly love this show, boys, girls, and adults included. It is filmed like a documentary, making it feel very real, and is full of plenty of characters. It is a show about a small town in Texas, Dillon, where high school football reigns over everything. The main(ish) character is Coach Eric Taylor, a returning coach to the town of Dillon, with an extremely high reputation for success. He is accompanied by his wife Tami Taylor, a guidance counselor at Dillon High School. Dillon, Texas has its esteemed football team, the Panthers, and it is full of talented players. There is love, and laughter, and some pretty heavy topics as well. Things often said on the show are "Texas forever" and "Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose". This show is really a show for everyone, which is hard to find. If I were to do this as my topic, I would discuss the characters, and the show itself and everything it offers. It portrays a very different lifestyle from myself, as Texas is not very close to Massachusetts. All I can say is, there is something a little magical about this show, and you will have to watch for yourself to find out.
