My favorite song is Meanwhile Back at Mamas because the first time I ever had heard it was when i went to Tennessee for the first time. Tennessee is my favorite place to go on vacation over Florida, Myrtle Beach, and even Mexico I love Tennessee and this song fit perfect and we even went to a restaurant called Mamas Cooking and I can honestly say it was the best food I have ever eaten. My second favorite song is The Boys of Fall because it is basically everything that i love about football in a song the first time I heard it, it became my favorite song instantly but has since gotten beaten out by the one I have first now. My third favorite song is American Kids this song is a great song to listen too and partially represents me and what I do or have done. My fourth favorite song is Lucky Man by Montgomery Gentry because it is true and it is something many people need to realize because it says how the man singing it has so much but because of what he sees others have he doesn't think he does but he says how truly lucky he is to have his family and a house and everything they need and it shows how truly lucky most people are even when they think they aren't. My fifth favorite song is pretty even with my sixth it depends on what mood I'm in when you ask me but right now my fifth favorite is Riding With Private Malone by David Ball this song tells an amazing story and is a very great song to listen too because of how it has so much meaning behind it. My sixth favorite song is Mr. Mom because this song is about a guy staying home and being a stay at home dad for a short time and basically shows how much work even a stay at home mom does when you have kids even if she isn't paying bills she sure has a lot on her plate and this song shows it. The seventh favorite song on my list is Letter To Me and and this is a fantastic song because he starts out saying how he would prove it was him by saying a certain secret and then he starts out saying all these thing he would say but by the end of the song he basically is saying how he wouldn't actually say these things because he loves where he is and doesn't want that to change. Eighth place on my list is Buy Me a Boat and this song the first time I heard it made me laugh because he is saying what I have said forever I am happy where I am and money may not be able to buy happiness but I certainly wouldn't mind winning the lotto because it sure would make life a lot easier and would take away a lot of my worries which intern would make me pretty dang happy. Ninth on my list is a song by Blake Shelton and this song is one of my favorites because the message it delivers is great plus it also is played in one of the best movies I have seen in my entire life called Max this movie is fantastic and just recently came out but wow the movie with that song at the end was fantastic. The tenth and final song on my list is He's Mine because that song is fantastic and is so true how I go get in trouble but my dad would never deny that I was his kid no matter what I did and that I am just like him when he was young and that whether the law says its write or wrong what me and my family believe is to stick up for your friends whether someone takes a cheap shot on them in a football game or jumps them on the street I will help and do whatever I can to stop it even if it has negative consequences for me.

The top five things I would like to take away from college are dealing with people better, talking more, becoming more involved with my friends, having a successful football season to remember, and just quit being so shy. The first one is dealing with people better because when I first meet someone the impression I get of them at that time pretty much determines how I feel about them and it is very hard to change my mind about them. I don't talk a whole lot to other people I can but I just struggle sometimes because I don't know what to say when I just meet somebody because I don't know our similarities and differences so I need to be more social to people. I need to become more involved with my friends on campus as well as the ones from high school who I hang out with. I didn't have very successful football seasons in high school because we had a few good players but only had thirty kids and with only that many kids you are forced to play very young players and no matter how good a select few are you wont be that great playing mostly freshman.
My biggest regret was that in high school I didn't take my grades seriously enough and now I don't have as many opportunities as some students. I can not get nearly as many scholarships as some students because of my high school grades and I struggle because of it but now I am doing well in college and my grades are better than in high school so that is about the best thing I can do to turn around my biggest regret. This relates to lies and deception because I never told people my grades and how little I really cared in high school other than passing and how I never thought I was going to college but then did.

The laws then forced the scenes where there was a kiss to be broken up into very short segments because in the 1960's kisses could not be longer than 3 seconds in length. Along with this, Hitchcock films featured certain details that would be considered inappropriate for that time period. For example, Alicia would be considered very inappropriate during that time period, girls were expected to be very refined and proper, but she was not like girls of this period. She frequently got drunk and put herself out there in many ways with men.
Throughout the whole movie T.R. Devlin, from falling in love, is trying to crack down on the Nazis hiding uranium. The feud between Nazi Germany and the United States was a very big historical event and in this movie it is portrayed very well. During World War Two the United States was always trying to bring down Nazi Germany. In Notorious the U.S. Government is after the Nazis and they use Alicia Huberman as a spy.
T.R. Devlin was just the one part of the movie while in the end him saving the girl from getting poisened and almost killed. The movie just shows how different of a director Hitchcock was from other directors back then. Hitchcock uses historical context many times in the film one of them is the when they kiss they only do it for three seconds, another is when T.R. Devlin was saving her at the end while whispering to the butler about trying to kill her.

When I was younger I went to a catholic school and thought that small classes and simple skills were how everything school related was but when I went to a public school I learned that's is not true at all. From preschool to 6th grade I went to a catholic school with about 20 kids in my class. Knowing everyone was easy and expected by pretty much everybody. When I went to the public school I learned quick how different it was going from all my classes in one classroom to all my classes being in different ones and from knowing everyone to hardly anyone this transition was hard. I struggled with getting to know people at first but by playing football and starting wrestling a year later I met many good friends whom I still am friends with today and plan on continuing to be for a very long time. This group of guys welcomed me in and pretty much shaped who I am today and I am glad to have met as great of a group of people as I did.
In this talk about cooperative lies they talk about how lying is bad but how in many aspects it can be good. Lying is typically not a good thing to do but if it is keeping you from making someone feel bad or being ashamed of themselves there is no problem with that. I totally agree in lies being a cooperative act because there are definitely times to lie and times to not. People always have lied and always will, there is nobody in the world who hasn't lied about something because it is in our nature. If it spares someone's feelings a lie is definitely worth it because you may tell the lie and think maybe I should have been honest but if it makes them feel good then it's worth it because making someone feel good will last them way longer and make them feel way better than you will feel bad about the lie.

Going to college I have had many changes in my life as do most if not all college freshman. One major thing is leaving most of my friends from high school behind. I went to Defiance high school and I'm now going to Defiance College but even though I'm in the same town I still don't hang around with many of the same friends because most of them left and went to college on there own. Another major accurance in the freshma. Year of college was the changes in athletics I went from being a 3 sport athlete to being a one sport athlete. It is nice to have the time after school to do what I want but I do miss the high school athletics with my best friends.
