Netflix and Sports in High School

High school is very entertaining. Here I will be doing a very brief overview of all the entertaining things that are popular and widely known and/or common to those in high school. Here we go. First off, Netflix is very popular. Many people in high school, so students, will watch Netflix, and watch TV shows on it. Some of the more popular shows on Netflix are Daredevil, The Office, Parks and Recreation, How I Met Your Mother, Friends, Supernatural, and much more. There are also Netflix original series, which is what Daredevil is, as well as Netflix original movies, such as the Ridiculous 6. Another entertaining thing in high school is sports; many high school students participate in some form of a sport. There is football, men and women’s cross country, and women’s swimming and diving in the fall. There is basketball, men’s swimming, and wrestling in the winter. In the spring there is track, soccer, and tennis. Therefore, there are many different sports that high school students participate in during their high school career. Thus, two very popular or well known or common things that high school students do is watch Netflix, such as Netflix and chill, as well as participating in sports.

Good Meat Eating Edition No. 1

What does every person do every day? Every day, every person all around the world does a few of the same things. Among those things are breathing, pumping blood, drinking liquids, eating foods, and sleeping. A few of those are very entertaining things for some people, and for many different reasons. For me, one of those things is very entertaining, and that is eating.

Eating is something that can be very enjoyable, and help pass the time, and is therefore entertaining. Now, I am not trying to say to eat and eat and eat and eat, because that is just unhealthy. However, food tastes good, and I enjoy eating good tasting food, so it therefore entertains me to do so. I know that many people very much enjoy eating foods as well, and there are lots and lots and lots of different types of foods out there. There are salads, fruits, vegetables, grains, wheats, meats, and many more different kinds of foods. One of those foods that I very much enjoy is meats, but more specifically I very much enjoy eating ribs.

The other night I had a rack or so of ribs, and they were amazing. They were falling off the bone with every single bite, so much that in order to eat the ribs you had to pick up the meat separately from the bone, and the bone would just fall out in doing so. These ribs were tender. They were so flavorful too, they hit the spot.

In order to make these amazing ribs, a lot of the process is in choosing the right rack of ribs. This varies from location to location and person to person, so I am going to start with once you have the ribs. You need to peel off the membrane of the ribs, and try to leave some of the fat still on the meat for the flavor. After removing the membrane, you are to apply an Applewood smoke rub to the ribs. Apply more to the bone side of the rack of ribs, as the rub will not be as affective on that side. Then, wrap the ribs in tin foil and make sure the tin foil is so very tightly wrapped around the rack of ribs as to prevent the juices from escaping. Place the ribs in the oven for about two and half hours at about three hundred degrees temperature, and then remove the ribs from the oven. Put some barbeque sauce on the ribs and place for about five minutes on a grill with the meat side down. Take the rack of ribs off the grill after five minutes, serve, and enjoy! A great way to entertain yourself and to enjoy yourself!

However, ribs are not the only type of good food available. There are many other types of meat that is very tasty. However, that is for another time.

Modernized Entertainment

As the world turns, another day goes by, another week, another month, another year, another decade, and soon another century. Even though we might not still be alive by the turn of the century, a lot will change. A lot will continue to change with each passing century. Just think about it, just one hundred years ago there were no computers, there was no internet, and there was no television. Those items, those things, that of which we interact with every day, that of which we use to entertain ourselves almost every day, it did not exist one hundred years ago. Right now, what are you doing? Reading this blog. How are you reading this article? Well, this blog is on the internet. That means that somehow you are surfing the web, browsing the internet. A smartphone possibly? A tablet? A computer? A laptop? What type, too? An IPhone or an Android? An IPad or a Microsoft Surface? A Dell or a Mac? A Chromebook or a MacBook? Or are you reading this article while using some other electronic device that you choose to browse the internet with? Whatever the case, the fact still remains that you are browsing the internet, reading this blog. However you came to this blog, I am not sure, but you are here now. It is very likely that you did not choose to read this blog, and that you somehow happens upon it while on the internet. In that case, I must ask you a very pressing question: Why?

I do not mean that why in a bad way; I love that fact that you are reading my blog. However, the question remains. Why? Why are you reading this blog-my blog? Why are you on the internet? Why are you not interacting with others? Why are you not socializing? Playing with friends? Making memories? Doing something fun and exciting that you will remember down the road? The answer, however, does not appear to matter at the moment. That is because you are still here, still reading this blog. Why? Why are you reading this blog? It could very possibly be that the reason that you are still here reading my blog has nothing to do with the content of my blog at all, and that it could have everything to do with the way that you are reading my blog. This poses another question: Is the internet really that addicting? Are you really just reading this blog just because it is on the internet?

I hope you are not. I hope that you are not just reading my blog because it is on the internet. However, it seems that now a days many people are addicted to the internet and cannot get away from it. That they feel like they need the internet. That they cannot be away from it, and thus they cannot be away from their electronic device or electronic devices. In which case, I must ask another question: What happened? When talking to my parents and all the memories that they have, all the best memories from their childhood was with their friends. Doing things together. Having fun. Staying active. Being kids. Playing. Don’t get me wrong, the internet can be great-I am posting this blog on the internet after all. However, I must be clear on my message. Go out and play. Hang with your friends. Have a fun time. Be active. Have fun together. Make some new, lasting memories that you will never forget, instead of just surfing the internet, because in a few years you won’t be able to remember that tweet or that post, but you will be able to look back on the memories that you made and the friends that you had and you will be able to smile.

Spring Break

Spring Break is coming up, and for many people that means traveling to somewhere warm. Many people will go somewhere out of the country; more specifically they will go to somewhere in the Caribbean, in Central America area. Popular areas of travel include, but are not limited to, Mexico, Dominican Republic, or even many more places. These places are very popular because the winter just got over here in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. By going down there, there are beaches available for the tourists to go to, and it is warm so they can be on vacation. It is a way for people to entertain themselves, and many people very much enjoy doing so during Spring Break. There are two other popular things to do on Spring Break. One of them is not exciting, and that is either staying back home or doing college visits, the later of the two is somewhat fun but not as fun as going down to Central America or Colorado. Speaking of Colorado, that is the second thing that many people do. They go skiing at Colorado on the mountains, which is very fun. So there are a lot of things to be able to do during Spring Break, for many people to do.

Shinedown Cover

Many people entertain themselves with music.. Whether it be listening to music, composing music, making music, music can be very entertaining. In particular, some certain types of music seem to be more entertaining than others, and even more specifically, certain songs seem to be more entertaining. One way to see how entertaining a song appears to be would be the amount of covers of that song that have been made. Some bands do so as well; one way that they do so, if it is not making new music in the form of new songs, is to play another band’s song and interpret however they want, making a cover version of said song. Not the covers made by people who do covers of songs regularly, but that does help, but I mean when bands make a cover of another bands song. Whether this be live at concert only, or for an album. One such example is the song Simple Man, originally by Lynyrd Skynyrd. This song has been made a cover by a few bands, most notably by the band Deftones, Confederate Railroad, and perhaps the most famous cover by Shinedown. Shinedown has made two versions of the song, an acoustic version as well as a rock version, and their cover of Simple Man is very popular. However, the original by Lynyrd Skynyrd is arguably more popular and better known, but it can be argued that the Shinedown cover (either the acoustic or the rock version of the song) is the most well-known cover. Many people are fans of either Lynyrd Skynyrd, Shinedown, or both, and they entertain themselves with listening to their songs. One of those songs is Simple Man, entertaining a large amount of people around the world as they listen to the song, no matter the artist.

Summer Jobs

A lot of people work. A lot of people. There are so many jobs out there that people can have, but today I am only going to write about the types of jobs that high schoolers generally have, instead of those that are people’s careers, or an adult job that someone can live off of doing that job. High schoolers will almost always work part time, never full time, with a few exceptions every now and then. There are many different high schoolers, and each high schooler is different, so there are a multitude of jobs out there to accompany most high schoolers. With the summer starting to appear as though it is approaching, it is time for some high schoolers to start looking for a job. Here are a few of the more popular and more talked about jobs that high schoolers will usually have.

Some high schoolers are lifeguards. Most lifeguards will have only a seasonal job for during the summer when school is not in session, but some lifeguards will work year round at an indoor pool. A lot of swimmers will end up lifeguarding during high school, and a lot of lifeguards tend to be swimmers, but not all of them. There are still a lot of lifeguards who do not swim, as well as a lot of swimmers that do not lifeguard. But, as a stereotype, lifeguarding is a popular job among swimmers. One of the very popular traits of the job for people is that it is a seasonal job, only during the summer, when school is not in session. This makes working a lot easier, as there is not really much else going on at that time, increasing people’s availability as well as the amount of money they will then make probably.

Another popular job among high schoolers is to work at a nearby, small business. In Cedar Rapids, an example of this is Parlor City. Parlor City is an ice cream stand that is located very close to Kennedy High School, and a lot of Kennedy High Schoolers will end up working there because of the convenience, as well as it being a good job.

Yet another job that is popular among high schoolers is working at a trampoline park. In Cedar Rapids, there are two trampoline parks. The first one to open was AirFX, and the second one to open was SkyZone. They are both similar in size of the area of trampolines available for the customers to jump on. Both places offer popular jobs for high schoolers as it is easy for a high schooler to oversee the trampoline mats and watch the jumpers. A lot of people have moved over from AirFX to SkyZone when SkyZone opened up, and working at either of those two trampoline parks is a good first job as it is not too intense a job, and it is just a overall good first job for high schoolers.

Yet another job that is popular among high schoolers is to work at a restaurant. One example of a restaurant that some high schoolers work at is Market Grille at Hy-Vee. There you will either be a bus boy, busing the tables and cleaning up after customers, or you would be a waiter or a server, serving and or waiting on the customers and taking their orders. This is a popular job among high schoolers as it is easy enough to get it as a first job, and it provides good job experience.

Another popular job among high schoolers is working at either a grocery store, like Hy-Vee, or a general or convenience store, such as Walmart or Target. These jobs provide good work experience, especially with working with some people that may not be the most pleasant to deal with, resulting in better people skills. Also, the job is fairly easy, with not much required for you to do. All in all, it provides a good job for high schoolers.

There are a lot of good jobs available for high schoolers. There is the option of becoming a lifeguard, working at a nearby small business, working at a trampoline park, at a restaurant, or at a store. There are so many jobs out there for high schoolers to choose from!

Entertainment Food!

Every day, every human being on earth does a few of the same things. One of those many things is eat. Everyone needs to eat. Now, that doesn’t mean that it has to be a boring and tedious task. Many people, including myself, greatly enjoy eating. That brings something along with it; what to eat? Well, that depends on where you are at times. Different parts of the world eat different types of food. As eating food is very enjoyable and entertaining to some people, I am going to go through some different types of food around the world for ideas on what to try eating. First, in Spain, churros are very popular. Leche Merengada is also very popular in Spain, and it is a Spanish milkshake. In France, some popular foods are cheese, bread, and wine. In Japan, some popular foods are sushi, and in China some popular foods are chicken and rice. In India, spicy foods are common, and in Mexico, spicy foods are also kind of common, such as tacos and burritos. America, however, has everything. There are places you can get churros, nice wine, sushi houses, Chinese restaurants, and there are also Mexican restaurants. Eating is entertaining for me, so I suggest you go out and try various types of food from around the world!

Something not Entertaining: Sick

There is something that sucks a lot. That is sickness. Not being healthy. Being sick. Feeling like crap. Feeling horrible. There are many ways to describe it, and those are just a few. This time of the year is the time that colds seem to be getting common, along with viruses. You do not want to get sick. It sucks. Getting sick could mean that you can’t do anything. That means that you cannot go to school, which some people like that idea of not going to school and not having to go to school. However, you would also not be able to go to work, which is not good because then if you miss too much you could get fired, and you will not get as much money then, and things start becoming one big giant mess. You will not be able to continue any sport while you are sick. If you were planning on competing at state and then you get sick, you might not be able to compete at state anymore. Also, if you get sick you will feel like crap. Absolute crud. It is horrible. It is awful. You do not want to feel that way because it just plane out sucks. It sucks big time. So do not get sick.

There are ways you can go to try and prevent yourself from getting sick. One way is to stay clean. Clean yourself daily, either a shower or a bath. Also wash your hands. Wash your hands a lot. A lot a lot. It helps. Get a lot of sleep. Do not try to survive your life with only about four or five hours of sleep a night. It will just run you down and you will keep getting sick and it sucks and it is no fun. So get plenty of sleep. At least eight hours of sleep a night. Yes that is a good idea. Eight hours of sleep a night. So if you have to wake up at five in the morning get to bed by nine at night, and if you have to wake up at seven in the morning you could, in theory, then, stay up until eleven at night each night, but that would not be recommended. In all cases, get a good nights sleep. That will help you a lot. Just try to not get sick, because being sick sucks, and you will absolutely hate it and feel like crap and it is no fun it sucks so take care of yourself!
