LIVE at Homecoming

This past weekend I decided it would be cool to showcase how Ohio Northern, ONU, displays its Polar Bear pride. The majority of all the Greek life at ONU participate every year. The parade this year had James Lehr Kennedy be the Parade’s, Grand Marshall. Followed by Dan and Chris Dibiasio, and finally, Klondike bringing up the end of the corvettes. The ONU Marching Band followed Klondike playing the Hymn for Ohio Northern. The only other band that participated in the parade was from Perry High school. After witnessing and participating in other parades, this one is small to witness. Coming from Mason we had about three parades a year, one for Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, Labor Day, and sometimes a parade for our Heritage Festival. Being apart of a Parade in Mason was an experience like no other. Each parade route may have been exactly the same, but there was always a crowd of people along the entire parade route. Being in the homecoming parade at ONU provides a different experience. Being an adult, volunteering your time to build a float from scratch with an idea in our minds. In Mason, all of our floats had already been designed and constructed. All we had to do was show up to participate in the parade. Whether that be me walking with the Boy Scouts, or riding in a nice car or Vehicle from the United States Military Services. In Ada we build the float, we bring all the energy for our float and this sets the tone for how we show our love and support for ONU. In general, being a part of the parade is better than observing the event. You can observe my documentation of the live tweet using the following hashtag @whitmorezach

    It is always great to hear about phenomenal events like this that happen within the community. For the live tweeting assignment I decided to tweet at the football game where we played Marietta. It was weird to live tweet at first, but I would say I got the hang of it and it is definitely beneficial for all of us to get out of our comfort zone.

Escaping Reality

Well, I am a few blog posts behind and will be attempting to release 6 posts this week. Two posts each day, maybe not two today. This week is looking very hectic now that I have done this to myself. Last week got away from me having me miss a lot of what was happening around me. This week and the next few I am looking to focus on my surrounding world, ensuring I take time to stop and look around. This past week I missed the ability to relax for a bit, creating more stress than needed. Recently it has been a struggle to find a routine to follow, that allows for a little bit of free time to take that step back. Allowing time each day to reflect, listen, and just be in the environment around me helps me center myself and assists in creating a peaceful moment. With today being the first day of fall I made a deal to a friend that we would go for bike rides every weekend until it finally got too cold to go outside. This creates at least two hours of time immersed in nature and the surroundin...

Thanksgiving is Christmas' Shadow

With the holiday season quickly approaching it appears that Thanksgiving always gets the short end of the stick. With Christmas and the entire season of Winter, this holiday tends to be forgotten. Stores like Walmart, Target, Meijer, Hobby Lobby, Kroger put up Christmas decorations directly after Halloween. Fall decorations disappear after October 31, and immediately winter decorations get placed out. These decorations usually consist of Christmas trees, lights, nativity scenes, snowmen, snowflakes. All the colors change from bright reds, yellows, oranges, transitions to reds and greens . This gives Thanksgiving a very short period, specifically three days. The rule in my family has always been Thanksgiving before Christmas, in the house the Christmas season does not begin until Black Friday shopping begins. This has always been the case for our family because of downtown Cincinnati hosts a tree lighting to officially kick off the Christmas season. This has been a tradition in our ...

Beautiful Mind Records

Welcome to the more random posts on my blog. These uploads can range from new music finds that I think the readers should listen to through items that are just absolutely random. This is just how my mind works, and processes information, so buckle up cause this could be a rollercoaster. This blog will focus on musical talents and how the music industry works. Artists like Ariana Grande, Drake, Jon Bellion, Logic, etc… all work for a music label. Some of these artists venture out to create their own labels to assist other rising artists. One example of this happening is with Jon Bellion. This is my favorite musical artist to listen to, the rhythm and style of his albums are never the same and in interviews, he has stated that he would rather make music that spoke to the audience, rather than following the classic four-chord structure that allows a song to become a hit. Artists like Jon Bellion have opened a door for rising groups like Lawrence the Band. Jon used his own label, Beautiful...
