“Missouri’s new coach not going over so well” – Allan Lewis

I agree with you, but first I was very shocked when they hired Miami’s head coach Haith. I have not really heard of him and to be honest, he has not done a very good job at Miami. I think they could have gotten someone better for a program like Missouri is. I also have heard people say bad things about Alden, and yes they need to either accept what they got or get rid of who hired him. (Alden)

A Dreamlike Wave Found

A group of surfers on the Rip Curl team make search expeditions for places to surf. The team was recently in Indonesia and found a fascinating secret surf spot.

What makes this so fascinating is that the place where they found the dreamlike waves are in a Indonesia river in the middle of the jungle. This river is also not made on a coastline or an island shore, which is very rare. The article says it’s because the river gets pounded by a powerful tidal bore. They say tidal bores produce relatively small mushy waves, but this tidal bore produces waves upstream at heights of 8-10 feet. The surfers said these kind of waves are found over coral reefs.

“This was our biggest score in twenty years of exploring,” says Tom Curren, “a former three-time world surfing champion who has been roaming the world’s coastlines scouring for the proverbial perfect wave ever since winning his last world title in 1990.”

Jersey Shore Gets a Raise

As everyone knows Jersey Shore is probably one of the most popular reality television shows out. To be honest, I love watching Jersey Shore, and usually never miss an episode. The show really doesn’t mean anything, because all they do is party, drama, and get girls.

This summer they are filming the last episode in actual Italy, since they all are Italian. The previous 2 episodes they did not make much money. The first episode I think they only made $200, then 10k, then 40k an episode. But for the last episode they got a 100k raise on top of what they were already making. So, they are now getting paid 140k an episode, for 13 episodes.

I think that is crazy because that is a lot of money for just being on a reality television show. They used to be just regular people who tried out for this show and now they are all rich and famous from one show. I also think its crazy because they just have so much fun and get to go to nice places when filming it. They get to go to Italy and basically party while getting paid 140k an episode. Must be nice to basically get money handed to you!

“Happy Birthday Twitter” – Brittany Day

Happy Birthday Twitter

This is crazy how popular these social media sites have gotten. I actually just made a twitter the other day for just fun, and I actually like it a lot, and I am on it all the time. It is a great way to connect with celebrities and old friends. I just think it is amazing how big the social media world is getting these days.

“In the Black for Attention” – Brian Berns

In the Black for Attention

I totally agree, even though, yes, the song is not good, but she did what plenty of people try to do on YouTube and her song became popular. I heard she made over a million on I-tunes. People hate because they are jealous that it is not them making the millions. Congradulations to this girl for just having fun and now becoming famous.

UCONN Wins the Title

In tonight’s championship game, University of Connecticut and Butler University battle in a game that analysts say,” It was one of the ugliest NCAA championship games in history.” Butler, who is a mid-major from the horizon league conference upset plenty of great teams to be where they were, and were considered the underdog.

People are calling this one of the ugliest games ever. The final score of the game was 53-41, UCONN with the advantage. First of all, the final score of the game was the lowest since 1949. Then Butler University shot 12 for 64 for the game, and 18.8 percent, which is the worst performance in title game history. To be honest, no one really played good at all in this game, except Jeremy Lamb from the University of Connecticut.

Personally, I am a huge basketball fan and I was not even really excited or anything watching this game. To be honest, it was one of the worst championship games I’ve ever watched. The game was just too ugly for me and by the time the 2nd half started I knew Butler was done. Hopefully next year will be a better game. Congrats UCONN!

Angry Birds Become Lovers..? – Caroline Lawrence

Angry Birds

I also agree, my girlfriend has an I-phone and plays all the time, so the other day I started playing and now I play all the time. That game is very addicting and yes, very frustrating! At first, the game looked pretty stupid, but when I started playing it was actually pretty fun and some of those levels are hard!
