My High School Years

NOTICE: THIS POST IS STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION. THE ASSOCIATED MUSIC VIDEO FOR IT WILL BE RELEASED BETWEEN THE END OF MARCH AND APRIL 2021. [Parental Warning - Explicit Language] "Life can't be 100% positive; there's always sadness." - Me, 1/23/2021 Trust me, it's really hard to undergo the passing of one of your loved ones, especially only at 17. Therefore, I have made a song dedicated to my father called See You Later about the fun things we did and how I will miss him. See You Later - Dedicated to my father who is currently in the process of passing from metastatic adenocarcinoma cancer of the jaw; I will miss you... 😇😭😭😭 LYRICS - (Explicit) Drove all over the place, blasting tunes during the summer groove Spent all that time with you, from day until night, cool If the day had 25 hours, I would spend them all with you 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, make it 35, I'd still spend them all with you By watching races at 11PM, having breakfast everyday at 10AM, and eating...

This is SEASON 2 EPISODE 13. Summary: Everything happened this week. Going bowling, getting stuck in traffic, going to Walmart, seeing (Dr.) Dolittle, everything happened. Seen this episode and all the others? Stay tuned for S2 E14, coming soon! MY HIGH SCHOOL YEARS: COMING SOON IN 1080P ON DUBOX!

This is SEASON 2 EPISODE 12. Summary: A lot happened. That's all I can say. Except for the fact that I went to Pier 1 Imports in Hadley, MA for their store closing sale, went to Target at the Hampshire Mall in Hadley, MA, reported on the latest news, and took pictures, mainly sunset ones. My High School Years: 1080P VERSION WILL NOW BE ON DUBOX INSTEAD OF GOOGLE PHOTOS. COMING SOON! (By the end of February 2021)

Sorry about the infrequent updates. I have been in a lot lately, like me checking the vaccine rollout every day (currently, 42M, or about 12.7%, are vaccinated in the US, and 131M, or 1.68%, of the world is vaccinated) and me doing other things, like playing games and learning Spanish on Duolingo. (going great so far, but is quite lengthy to master one skill) But I promise you, as this crisis (begins) to come to a close, by the end of it, I will be back with you and new episodes of MHSY (My High School Years) ARE coming this year! (Most likely before summer!) I will try to post more, but it is quite difficult for all that is going on right now, like worrying about COVID-19 and the vaccine rollout, school, scheduling future outings (Berkshire East in Charlemont, MA is going to be one, during February vacation in 2021), the fact of the sun starting to come out over the dark skies of COVID-19, as 106.6 million have gotten COVID and nearly 500,000 in the US and at least 2,300,000 worldwide...

Tonight's Super Bowl is a game changer, literally. First of all, only 25,000 fans are allowed to be at the game, with 7,500 being health care workers. (This may sound like a lot, especially during COVID, but this is by far the emptiest Super Bowl game ever; the previous record of 61,962, WAY MORE than 2021, was set at the first Super Bowl in 1967) There will also be 30,000 cut-outs of fans (sports looking like Wii Sports, ONCE AGAIN, due to COVID) as well, totalling out at 55,000, still less than the attendance of Super Bowl I of 61,962. I am predicting that the Buccaneers will win (Tom Brady), with a final score of 27 to 22, my lucky numbers. ALSO, FOR ANYONE PLANNING AN EVENT OR WATCH PARTY TONIGHT, PLEASE EITHER ADHERE TO COVID-19 GUIDELINES WITH YOUR EVENT, ONLY HOLD A WATCH PARTY WITH YOUR IMMEDIATE FRIENDS, AND IF POSSIBLE, I (AND THE CDC) HIGHLY SUGGEST THAT YOU HOLD A ZOOM/VIRTUAL WATCH PARTY BY SHARING YOUR SCREEN WITH THE NFL GAME ON YOUR BROWSER AND INVITING EVERYONE YOU...

Punxsutawney, the groundhog, saw his shadow, which means that we will get 6 more weeks of winter! From the look of it outside with Winter Storm Orlena wreaking havoc across the US, I am not surprised. Here was the groundhog's official statement: "Here Ye, Here Ye, Here ye Now this second day of February, two thousand and twenty-one, the one hundred and thirty fifth annual trek of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club...  Punxsutawney Phil, the Seer of Seers, the Prognosticator of all Prognosticators, was awakened from his borrow at 7:25 am by his handler and friend, on this quite morning where few can attend.  In Groundhogese, Phil directed the President and the Inner Circle to his prediction scroll that reads.  It is a beautiful morning I see,  With all my fans viewing virtually.  With my faithful followers being safe and secure,  Our tradition of Groundhog Day must endure.  We all have passed through the darkness of night,  But now see hope of morning...

I mean, WHAT?! Up until about a week ago, GameStop (GME) had a stock price of about $4-5 per share. Investors were predicting the company would fail, but due to Reddit and bad gambling on the investors side (who unfortunately lost a lot of money), GameStop's stock SURGED to $450 PER SHARE, the highest it has ever been BY FAR. Now, the stock is levitating, going up and down, with differences of $-100 to $100 DAILY, currently at $108/share as of 2/2/2021 at 12:02PM. My teacher even made a reference to this today in class, for which I am posting this on lunch break! Also, AMC (the movie theater chain) also has been saved from bankruptcy due to this madness; about 1 week ago, stock for AMC was about $3/share, but then surged to about $20/share on January 27, with the company later declaring that bankruptcy was "completely out of the picture". So I guess this was a good thing for both companies? Search "AMC stock" and/or "gme stock" on Google and you will s...

On January 25, 2021 at 5AM, my state's mandatory 10PM curfew (most businesses closed by 9:30PM, however some closed at 10PM), and its corresponding 10PM-5AM stay at home advisory OFFICIALLY ENDED. CELEBRATION TIME! (Over Zoom, that is) I haven't yet, but when the time comes, I WILL BE OUT AFTER 9:30PM, DOING WHO KNOWS WHAT SPENDING THE LAST YEAR OF ME AS A TEENAGER! #YOLO (throwback to 2012-13) Here's how I feel: From now on, the only 9:30 curfew for me is my 9:30PM BEDTIME. 🤣🤣🤣🌙🌙🌙 AT LEAST IT'S BETTER THAN GOING TO SLEEP AT 8PM A FEW WEEKS AGO! 🤣🤣🤣 And even though that is currently unlikely with the vaccine rollout, which has been proven to work against the new UK and South Africa COVID strains, and the decreasing cases, I am aware that if things start going the wrong direction, that this curfew (or other strict restrictions) may come back. So go out while you can!!! I WILL! Soon.

We have officially hit the grim milestone of 100 million coronavirus cases, or more than 1% of the WORLD having been infected with COVID-19. Not good. However, about 3/4 have recovered from COVID-19, which is a good thing, with about 26 million active cases in the world, which is close to the amount of total cases in the US, which is about 25 million as well. Over 2.1 million have officially died from COVID-19, and as of 1/27/2021, more than 71 million people in the world have received the COVID-19 vaccine, with about 24.5 million in the US having received the vaccine, and about 3.2 million in the US having received the full vaccine with 2 doses. So, we are in a dark time with the pandemic, but we are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, as new COVID cases have come slightly down with the vaccine rollout, and most likely, by the beginning of May, 100-150 million people will have received the vaccine, and probably, at least 50-100 million people will have full immunity to...

WOW. It's been 1 year since COVID-19 made its way to the US for the first time on January 21, 2020 from Wuhan, China. A lot has changed since then, and I am also sorry for failing to address the start of the pandemic on My High School Years (February - Mayish) as this is a very historic time we are living through. Things that have changed in 1 year: LIFE INDEFINITELY INTERRUPTED MANY MORE RESTRICTIONS ON LIFE (Masks, distancing, curfews, closed businesses, etc.) In January 2020, we thought: "This is a small virus, it will go away" "China will deal with this, its just another one of those viruses, like Ebola" "It will never make it this far, we will be fine" But, by Spring 2020, all of those thoughts were extinguished when we found out the hard truth about COVID-19, which was all of the above... Now, in January 2021, we are thinking: "This will be over soon, we will all get vaccinated" "Will we get to have a normal summer?" "Can...
