Today was sure one busy day to say the least, but it was one of the most fun days of the year thus far. Today was the DREAM Leadership Conference where teams of 20 people from each hall on Central Michigan Universities campus, some halls teamed up and had about 40 people on teams. Overall, there was a large turnout and my halls theme for the Cereal themed Conference was Captain Crunch. The following clip is the Mock Rock that our hall put together! I was voted the "Most Spirited Male" who attended the conference which was quite surprising because even though I knew I was crazy both on and off the stage. During the start of the video I am the 4th person from the right. Make sure you follow me throughout the routine because I pull a few things out of my pants and I just may end the routine with less clothes on then I started with! =)
Enjoy!
The video below was part of a project that I made for my Marketing class last semester when I went around asking students why they watched the Super Bowl. Obviously, some people tuned into the big game to watch the game but others watch the Super Bowl for other reasons, see what they had to say!
Many of you may not have been aware that today, January 21st, is National Hug Day, but I am here to relay this message to you that today should be one of everyone's favorite days of the year. An everyday occurrence such as a smile, a simple acknowledgement from a passerby, a compliment, or a hug can go a long way in making somebody's day. There are many hugs that range from but are not limited to the 'I Love You Hug,' the 'I Want You Now Hug,' my personal favorite the 'Butt Squeeze Hug,' the ever so thrilling 'Ecstatic Jump in Arms Hug,' then the more traditional Friendly, Encouraging, Group or Half hugs, and not to mention the ever so popular Tree Hug!
A hug is not just confined and limited to two people wrapping their arms around each other but more like a handshake from the heart. It is a symbol of a universal language of love, comfort, and friendship not just for fathers and mothers, but also to be shared among sisters and brothers. A hug is a compassionate connection that people share, which finds a way to show the love that we are feeling when we just can not find the words to say. A hug from a friend can catch your tears and relieve the lingering pain, and bring a bright horizon after the storm with a beautiful rainbow after the rain. So I ask all of you to embrace and celebrate this great holiday by just opening up your arms along with your hearts without any delay, by just giving a friendly inviting smile and give someone a hug today!
The following video shows some of my male best friends, sorry for the ones who were not able to get into the video but there were only 5 spots. This always puts a smile on my face, and gives me an outlet for a future career if sports broadcasting doesn't work out for me! What do you think?
Enjoy!
Leave a comment for my cell phone number and I would be glad to give you a private show! ;-)
The video below in my opinion looks like one of the most fun things to participate in EVER! What? A little paint never hurt anyone!
The following post is from TazzDaddy.com:
Yesterday, the Pew Research Center released a new poll about race relations in the U.S. Here’s what they found . . .
According to the survey, 39% of blacks say that African-Americans are better off now than five years ago. That’s up from just 20% in 2007.
But 81% of blacks say more changes are still needed to ensure equality. Only 47% of Hispanics and 36% of whites agree. And here’s something kind of interesting . . .
When asked how well they get along with Hispanics, more than 70% of whites and blacks say they get along with Hispanics “very well” or “pretty well.”
But only about HALF of all Hispanics say they get along with whites and blacks “very well” or “pretty well.” (–In other words, that friendly Latino landscaper you like so much? Yeah, he hates your guts.)
Overall, nearly FOUR in FIVE American-born Hispanics say they feel at least some discrimination against their group.
And maybe the craziest thing the survey uncovered is that blacks are NOT the most discriminated group anymore. According to ALL respondents, 23% think Hispanics are discriminated against “a lot.”
That’s compared to 18% for blacks, 10% for whites and 8% for Asians.
