How Ironic Can I Be

Isn't irony weird?

How Ironic Can I Be
bp.blogspot.com

The teacher says, "Have a good/fun weekend." Then, the teacher will proceed to assign the longest assignment you have ever seen for that weekend, and you quietly think, "Well, I wished I could... but now."

I woke up one morning with an odd thought in my mind. The thought was, "During the 9/11 disaster, I bet everyone was calling 9-1-1." Was it a little number irony? Maybe. I don't know if people would think of this as irony. Maybe, it's just a funny coincidence. Like, why was 9-1-1 the chosen number to call for help? Why did a lot of people need the most help on 9/11? Is this a little creepy or not? You decide.

It's ironic to think that I am writing about irony because I have trouble remembering what irony is in English class.

The thing that is even more ironic about this is that I like English a lot, and I am getting a minor in it. (You would think that I would know irony very well by now. Irony is odd though, but I am practicing the skill of irony right now in this article.)

When I settle in for a peaceful nap but I wake up feeling like very groggy and zombie-like, I do not wake up feeling like a new rose or anything like most people would expect to wake up like. Hey, that's irony for you, right?

I'm running out of irony. Help!

Oh, well! For now, I am done with irony, anyways. Irony plays nasty tricks.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
