New Valentines Day note

Valentine’s Day is suppose to be a day about love. A day in which we show those who we care about they are special. How do we do this? By buying them stuff. It has become yet another Hallmark holiday and nothing more. And it sickens me so many people buy into it. Do you really need a day out of the year set aside for an excuse to show someone how much you care? If you honestly do care and think they are special, you will be letting them know every day. I am not trying to say it is wrong to do something nice for the one you love today, but don't let it be simply for the fact you are compelled to buy into this materialistic holiday. Don't buy the special someone a gift because if you don't you are going to get an earful. Valentine’s Day, whatever it was suppose to be originally, is no longer the case for most people the way they tend to practice it. For most, it is merely about equating love with buying someone material possessions. Don't buy into it. If you love someone, this day in reality should be like most days. If you truly love someone, you do not need a day on the calendar as an excuse to shower them with love.

Super Bowl Review

I apologize to all my fans for taking so long to post this, but such is life when you actually have other things to do. As many of you may know, I am a huge Green bay Packers fan. So I was absolutely ecstatic last Sunday, when they won their first Super bowl since 1997 when they faced the New England Patriots. (They went the next year, but lost to the Denver broncos.) Talk about a great night. My eyes were a little teary eyed, as I got to witness an incredible game. Rodgers of course won the MVP and though there are a number of people who it could of went to, it was big for the man who finally has the Brett Favre shadow off of him. The 10-6 regular season the packers had, devastated by injuries on the defense really did not show how tough this team was going to be. The Packers may have started off in the Wild Card, but they ended up showing the world why they are a force to be reckoned with.

And what an incredible game it was. Two great teams put on great performances. The first half looked all Packers as they went in to the locker rooms at half time leading the Steelers 21-10. Yes, with Woodson and Shields hurt, the secondary struggled which opened the door for not only Big Ben to start passing, but the running game to make some big plays as well. Shields would come back however and despite the fact the final score ended up being 31-25, much closer then what the score was at half time obviously, the packers never lost the lead. It was a very intense game and it is one of the best Super bowls in years, and I try to say that as non biased as I can since my team not only went, but won it. I hope you enjoyed it sports fans, it might be the last one we see until 2013 if they do not have a season this year.

SAU Music Man Review

In life, you do not always get the privilege of watching something incredible. It is when we see such incredible things we must take a step back, and embrace the moment with open arms and admiration. Such a privilege came to me when I got to witness Spring Arbor University put on the musical The Music Man. It is a timeless classic in the theatre. It is one, which gets done so often, one really has to have the drive to give it a distinct voice. To say, “look at what we were able to accomplish”. It takes a lot of perseverance to be able to stand out from the rest of the sheep of music man musicals. Dr. Paul Patton and the cast did a phenomenal job at doing just that. I do not lie, I am not the biggest fan of musicals, but this is by far the best one I have ever seen in my life yet. Not only did the central roles step up to bat (yes I am a sports fan and baseball is just around the corner. Cut me some slack), but the cast as a whole was able to blend in to create a awe inspiring atmosphere. The anticipation, which boomed through the auditorium, was more than satisfied with the spectacular performance given to them by the hard working, dedicated cast and crew.

I give the whole cast my accolades; Dr. J would like to congratulate a few people in particular. First to his very good friend Trevor Tracy, who got to play the lead role as Harold Hill the night I went. What an incredible performance. The man is only getting better and will go on to do very big things. He captured his character to perfection and was able to dazzle with a performance very few could match with the caliber he has. But I had the honor of many of my friends being in this play. Katie French who played another lead as the mayor’s wife, Kyle Thompson, Marc Anderson, Spencer Carlson, and Aaron Laidler in the pep band (if I forgot someone forgive me, I am only one man) congrats to all of you, thank you for your amazing performance and enhancing an already incredible performance to make it that much better. Again congrats to all the cast, the crew, the pep band, anyone who had a part in the play. You did an amazing job. That is Dr. J’s thought of the day. – Jacob “Dr. J” Sabin
