An inconveience?? Not showing the end of a yankees-red sox game is not an inconvenience; it’s just stupid. And you have yet to admit that Joe Buck needs to be fired…even wikipedia thinks so.

Until then, I will anxiously await ‘more information about this occurance’ which better be in the form of ‘we have decided to no longer show MLB broadcasts because we suck at it.’

I cannot express how much I hate your MLB broadcasts and after listening to everyone I know complain about them, I figured I should finally write to you. The main reason is Joe Buck. He is awful and repeatedly gets facts wrong and is usually very biased towards one team or another. An avid Red Sox fan, I watch every game and am beyond disappointed when the game is on Fox. I usually watch it on mute.

Today when watching your broadcast, with one pitch left in such a pivotal game-you switched to nascar. I missed the last pitch and was left wondering what the hell happened. Please don’t broadcast a game if you don’t plan on showing it to the very end. I cannot take your sports broadcasts anymore and from what I hear, no one else can.

If you have any respect for your viewers, you will fire Joe Buck.

p.s. Although the concept of this blog is to not send my letters…I had to send this one.

It’s that scary time of year again: room selection. For those of you who are still looking for a roommate, you’re not the only one! The Residence Hall Council on campus wants to help make this stressful time a little easier. We are hosting ‘Speed Roommating’ on April 15^th 8-10pm in the modular unit (across from the library).

The event will be set-up like speed dating, where you move from table to table and meet other students who are looking for someone to live with next year. There will be refreshments and door prizes.

Lots of people don’t have roommates, and for various reasons-current roommate going abroad or graduating, etc. Come to our event and you’ll be surprised how many people are in the same situation-chances are, some are people you already know!

See you there,

A day off of school AND March Madness?  You are no longer Good, you are now Great.  There are 8 basketball games taking place today, which means I get to sit on my couch and watch my bracket. 

I love sports but I don’t take the brackets too seriously.  I usually pick all the underdogs so that even a few upsets means my bracket isn’t that bad.  It’s also much more fun to root for the team that has nothing to lose.

Hopefully I’ll place a bet and win some money.  Although, most of my bracket is shot after yesterday.  I mean I had Oral Roberts going to the championship and they’re already out.  Yes, I know it was a long shot but how can you not root for a school called Oral Roberts?

I’m not worried though.  I’m placing all my money on Boise. 

Go underdogs!
CMS

I admit, I only chose you because of your name.  I also root for the underdogs.  I had a feeling you could win and it hurts more that you were so close.  It would have been the upset of all upsets.

Oh well.  At least no one can say anything when I say I chose Belmont.  One more point and I would have been asking them why they chose Duke.

Respectfully,
CMS

I miss you.  Come back!  I never once complained about the writer’s strike.  It was tough but it wasn’t all bad.  The Late Night talk hosts proved that they actually are funny, even without the writers. In fact, some shows were better because of the strike (i.e. Conan-Stewart-Colbert brawl).

But enough is enough.  The strike is over and I need you back.  You’re by far my favorite show and I used to live for Thursday nights, 9:00. 

April 10th.  You’ll be back and I’ll be watching.  I know it’ll be worth the wait.

Trying to be patient,

Thank you for bringing your film to Emmanuel College. Your documentary about how other people in the world view America was definitely eye-opening.

The fact that multiple people believed America to be a falling empire was a bit shocking. It makes sense though and all prior empires in history have fallen. What makes us think we won’t, if we do in fact consider ourselves an empire?

The girl in Tanzania made an interesting point about the fact that everyone knows where America is, but how many Americans know anything about Tanzania? I think the fact that we’re a powerful country has a lot to do with it; I think most people know about China as well. She has a valid point though. I, as an American, know very little about other countries and until now I had never thought much about it.

I hope you continue sharing your project. It is not very often America has the chance to examine itself and question whether or not we are helping this world more than hurting it.

Very grateful,
CMS

Your current worth is getting ridiculous. Coming from one who loves to travel, trying to plan trips and vacations is becoming harder and harder. A trip to Europe is currently out of the question because I would rather not see my hard-earned cash convert to hundreds less.

If it were only Europe, I could handle it. The Eiffel Tower and Spanish Steps will always be there. I would be willing to play the waiting game and visit at a more economically friendly time.

It is not, however, just Europe. You are failing me everywhere. My friends and I were planning a trip to Canada for New Year’s Eve. Due to our late planning, the prices were pretty high. Imagine my glee when I realized a common known fact: you are always worth more in Canada! I quickly checked the exchange rate to see just how cheap our trip was going to become. I checked site after site but I kept getting the same price. How have you become equivalent to the Canadian dollar?!

I feel a little betrayed. Mostly, I feel stranded. I am stuck in a country where gas prices prohibit me from road trips and flights are a crapshoot. College is supposed to be a time where you see the world, because it’s cheap and you have the time. I have all the time in the world but you suck everywhere in the world.

Hopefully, you increase your value. Until then, I’m going to hoard you and pray that we don’t go into a recession. If we do, I’ll move to Bali…I heard you’re doing well there.

Your frustrated friend,

Hello! Thanks for gracing us with your presence. But to be honest, I wish you didn’t pick this year to appear. You’re just one more day I have to wait to turn 21, finish this awful semester, etc. I didn’t even really notice you today. When I started researching you though I realized how interesting you are.

For instance, there was a tradition long ago that women were allowed to propose to men during a leap year. Sometimes, it was only one day and thus you were called ‘Bachelor’s Day.’ The best part is men were supposed to pay a penalty if they refused. Imagine that? I wonder how many proposals the King got.

You’re a pretty powerful day. But you also cause some problems. Some states don’t let people put you as their birthday on licenses because you don’t exist in computer systems. If you don’t exist, then that means Walk/Don’t Walk signs weren’t installed in NYC during 1952. Ja Rule was never born. St. Oswald never died.

And since I love math:
You’re most likely to occur on Mondays or Wednesdays. You can occur 15 times on these days, 14 times on Friday or Saturday, 13 times on the other days.

So thanks for stopping by. You keep this world on track.

See you in 4 years,
CMS

When you enter college, you will be inundated with lists and advice on what to bring to school and what to leave at home. Lucky for you, I put together a list of all the things that no one ever tells you.

• Earplugs
  You and your roommate will always be on different schedules. So when you need to sleep, get some work done, or just plain be left alone, these come in handy. If earplugs weird you out, earphones are just as effective. Even if you’re not listening to music, you will still be left alone.

• Thank you cards
  College is filled with going on interviews and awkwardly asking for letters of recommendations. If you ever want to ask people for letters again, you had better write a thank-you. FYI-cheapest ones can be found at Wally-world.

• Air-fresheners
  College can be a smelly place.

• Silverware
  You will most likely remember plates and cups but forget the utensils. Plastic ones work well. And if you can only afford some, go with knives and spoons-they do everything a fork can.

• Can Opener
  You won’t realize this until you buy a can. Thus, I’m saving you from that frustration. You don’t need pots and pans though; you can borrow them from the ‘mom’ of the floor.

• One set of sheets
  You only need one set. You’re only going to take them off when you go to wash them, and then you can just put them back on. And if you’re gross and never wash them anyways, why have two sets?

If you forget some of these, rest assured. You live on a floor with dozens of other people, so just learn the art of “borrowing.”

You’re welcome,
