The DJ Rollie D Story

Today was the Spring Meeting for the Northeast Division Student Council Group, where we hold our elections to see who will represent us next year.  The nice thing about the elections were that the positions from Secretary down to Parlimentarian (3), had only one candidate running, so that was fast and seamless as we heard their speeches and then motioned to elect them officially, and they will do really well when they start work in September. The elections for Vice President were fairly interesting as well, because one of the candidates was out sick and couldn't make it.  He had a really supportive council behind him, as well as a lot of good ideas for his time in office, and he managed to win.  I am positive he will do good things with the division as well. Last came the President candidate speeches, and I was quite nervous to see what might happen. My attempt to go out and get opinions from students in the schools on Hot Topics fell flat on it's face, and there had ...

Last week Brian Williams was suspended from NBC News for six months without pay after it was found that he alternated several of his news stories from about a decade ago in order to enhance his image with the public.  One of those stories involved him being in a helicopter that was "just missed" by a missile. The general public was quite shocked, and it showed as Williams moved down the list of most trusted people to join the likes of Bill Cosby. Will he return to NBC in August?  My guess is no because six months is quite a good amount of time to move networks.  We may see him on a network not controlled by NBC someday such as FOX News, CNN, even ABC for all we know.  Will he come back as an anchor?  Probably not right away in order to keep a lower profile than if he were anchoring a show, but maybe after a few months. The jokes about Brian Williams have been endless over the last few weeks, even receiving special mention as one of Saturday Night Live's orig...

Today I find myself asking "How did January 2015 fly by so fast?"  It seems like the 1st of the year, when I was just finished with having the mumps and still trying to kick my cold, was just yesterday.  It's been a wild month full of small adventures, and I can't wait to see what this month brings. For those wondering what happened to me in January, here are some brief updates NED: The Spring Division Meeting is all set to happen on 2/24 and as far as I know service projects are going extremely well.  Our project here at Cherry has been amazing so far, with a big pile in each of the teacher's rooms every time items have been collected.  Most classes will have points somewhere in the thousands by the time the next counting is done! It's amazing how many people in the school and community will rally behind your cause. Announcing: Not much new to note here, except that after I forgot to hook up the microphone last week and consequently had to yell the s...
