New Things

Hello ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls from all over the world and welcome to another edition of 'Life of a Student Athlete.'  In today's edition we are going to talk about this new trend that has come about once a week and also this new twitter sensation.  I am really excited about this week's blog and I hope you are too.  First things first, make sure you guys are all following The Bulldog, @The_Bulldog14.  I demonstrate a lot of quality work and provide a lot of information from that account.  Also there is live tweeting from every JV basketball game.  Anyways there are a couple big stories flowing around the school these days.  The first is Jersey Thursday.  Or if we're talking Twitter terms using the hash tags, #JerseyThursday.  I can proudly say that I am one of the three co-founders of Jersey Thursday.  But honestly I think of myself as the only founder, as I am the only person of the three founders to still wear a jersey every Thursday, it's a little disappointing.  But I'll tell you the story of how it came about anyway.  It was a Wednesday night, and myself, Allen Darrow, and Brian Stoldt were all over at Brian Stoldt's house because his parents weren't home and they were not coming home so we decided to have a sleep over at his house.  So we just got home from McDonalds because that's where we had dinner.  Brian went to the bathroom and me and Allen were just taking a stroll around the house because we were bored.  And we decided to go up to his old room because we haven't been in there in a while and there were a lot of memories in the room and a lot of good times.  We were shooting some hoops because he has this like double basketball net thing and whatever we were having some fun.  And then I decided to check out his closet cause he's always had some cool gismos in there.  But then I just saw this massive amount of jerseys, and I was like whoa!!  Al come check this out.  There had to be at least 20 jerseys mostly NFL.  From Jerry Rice to Emmett Smith to Mike Alstott.  Mike Alstott I guarantee half the nation doesn't even know who that is.  Well he's a fullback or was a fullback he has retired and was a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. There was also the best jersey I've ever seen in my life.  Mike Williams in his college days at Syracuse.  It was an actual jersey, like a game worn jersey.  It was awesome and I wanted to wear it so bad.  I was planning on wearing it in school, it was so tight but it was so cool.  So I was gonna wear it and Al wanted one too so we came up with this theory of we should do this every week and call it Jersey Thursday.  Even Brian was in on this.  So now almost two months later Jersey Thursday is still a thing, but pretty much I'm the only one participating.  And that’s kind of stupid.  I haven't missed a Thursday, but it has started to spread not only throughout our school, but to other schools.  I was at JFK two weeks ago for a basketball game and I saw a kid wearing a jersey.  No big deal.  But then this past Thursday, the girl sports anchor from SportsNation was wearing a jersey.  NO BIG DEAL.  That's crazy and I like to think of myself of a great trend starter that I will follow the rest of my life.  I'm currently trying to get a new Kenyon Barner jersey; he's a running back for the Oregon Ducks.  Now the other big deal swirling around the school is the new twitter sensation of AlDeN PrObZ.  They came about the night of January 30^th, and has been the talk of the school since.  No one knows who he/she is.  Everyone wants to know.  All they do is make harmless tweets that are quite comical that essentially problems in Alden.  They also make shout outs of the day every day.   No big deal but I was the first student in the school to be shouted out to.  The most recent was Josh Weisbeck.  I do remember one of the days after Alden Probz came about that for the entire 40 minute lunch period I was in; my table was non-stop talking about the subject.  The funniest part is, no one knows who it is.  We made up these big diagrams of who it could be, but no.  It’s sad, there’s been a lot of suspects, one is Cole Lamacchia I personally think it is him.  A lot of people think it’s Miner, but it has been proven that it is not him.
