We are screwed. Not only did we baarely beat the worst team in D I, but we should have, in all respects, lost. We were out rebounded, out hustled and, for most of the game, outscored. The fans were boorish and unimaginative as usual and the team had no real exciting moments until the final 3 minutes or so in the game. Congrats on the win guys, but ( Read more... )

I've always wanted to experience the life of a college basketball fan, and last Saturday that desire was realized. For the first time ever, I was able to get a taste of Division I ball. Here's some observations, predictions and expectations for this upcoming season ( Read more... )

Needless to say, this has been a very dry week for my creative juices. The stream of consciousness that has served me so well in the first few weeks here at Bonas has officially been damned up by the psychological beavers that are my thought processes. That last thought has most likely made little to no sense to anyone in the outside world, but I ( Read more... )

Bottom of the 7th, with the score 4-0 in favor of the Sox, in a game that has lost its importance almost as fast as they've lost their chance at a playoff bid. And yet, up strolls David Ortiz. Of course, seeing as how they're playing the Twins, the team that gave up on Ortiz, there is the obligatory flashbacks of his time as a Twin. To recap the ( Read more... )

I am sick and tired of my parent’s pounding and pounding the same nine words into my head: college is the best four years of your life. For me, nothing can even compare to Hilton Central High School, home of the Hilton Cadets, formerly the Hilton Peaches. Now don’t get me wrong, St. Bonaventure is arguably one of the most picturesque and majestic ( Read more... )

The Faux makes a uniquely different but still very familiar sound in their solid 2003 CD release of their self-titled “The Faux.” The band’s mere five song release previews a sound that goes all over the place, mixing upbeat rampant drum work with a chaotic and sometimes overly crazy synth orchestra and no lead guitars, making their sound all the ( Read more... )

The morning of September 11th, 2001 meant nothing to anyone other than those who called it their birthday. It was simply a day in which the bright, shining, albeit grumpy faces woke up facing another day of school, when the parents got ready for another day of work and the world wasrelatively at peace. School had just started up the week before, ( Read more... )

The first case of high school love lost has arrived. My best friend was dumped after his girlfriend decided that partying and getting wasted was more of a priority than being there for my friend. I am soo sick of the college psyche!! Why in god's name is it sooo goddamn important to be out drinking every chance that they can post "funny" pictures ( Read more... )

As I think back on my first week, I think that it was simply a week to get accustomed with life at Bonas. Getting to know where things are, getting to know your classmates, getting involved with all the awesome extra-curricular it has to offer. I spent hours trying to renegotiate my room and how everything was set-up just so. Being on my own, like ( Read more... )

As I perused through the Bona Venture, the school newspaper (which I fully intend to rock in a week or so), I came across two contrasting opnions on one of the most talked about movies in quite awhile, though maybe not for the best reasons. Snakes on a Plane wasn't a movie, it was a potential event, a movie that could possibly the best of the worst ( Read more... )
