THE Q&A SHOW PRESENTS: EVERYBODY’S GOT A STORY

Evan McCarroll is a long-time friend of mine. We went to high school together, we got kicked out of high school together, we got in trouble together, we triumphed together and we began college together. He has been a large part of my life for many years. When Evan told me his secret, I was hurt at first that he didn’t feel safe enough to have told me sooner. After some time and thought, I realized how selfish that emotion was of me. How could I be mad, when he had been trying to live with such a big secret for so long.

This is Evan’s story…..

The Flash, Arrow, Supernatural, The Walking Dead: That’s Right, IT’S TV SEASON!

IT’S TV SEASON


series-addict

Well, it’s October again which means just two things for me. 1. HALLOWEEN IS COMING and 2. IT’S TV SEASON! October is my favourite time of year when it comes to TV, all of the good shows come back to TV and of course my favourite SUPERNATURAL is back for another round. Rumour has it that the boys have signed on for another two seasons, which means this season just might not be the last for Supernatural lovers. Supernatural is NOT my only favourite, The Flash will be airing its pilot episode tonight too! Then there’s Arrow which is AMAZING and The Walking Dead which is a guilty pleasure of mine. Why you might ask? well I’ll get to that later, keep reading!


TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT – SUPERNATURAL IS BACK!


Screen Shot 2014-10-07 at 2.44.05 PM

I’m so excited for the roller coaster that will be Season 10 of Supernatural. My favourite actor (Jensen Ackles) who is also my favourite character in the show (Dean Winchester) is now ***SPOILER ALERT*** a full fledged demon. But he’s not just any kind of demon… Dean bares the mark of cain… so what’s that mean? Basically the mark of cain is a mark that was given to Cain, brother of abel, and it has super demon power to it. — that was a horrible explanation… you should probably just watch Supernatural and see for yourself why I am overly excited and pumped to sit at my TV and watch several hours of TV Gold for the next few months.


THE FASTEST MAN ALIVE? … THE FLASH


theflash

So.. I have a confession to make…. A friend of mine notified me that there might just be a copy of the pilot episode of The Flash online – available to download… so… yea… I downloaded it…. yepp.. instant regret. I watched it a few months ago and have had to wait until TODAY for The Flash to actually start.. and technically since I’ve already seen this episode.. I made the wait even LONGER!!!… although I do regret not waiting.. it was also really worth watching because it was AMAZING.. The Flash is on par with Arrow which is also an awesome show that comes back to TV tomorrow! But first.. If you don’t know who the Flash is.. Here’s a breakdown of Barry Allen, a.k.a. The Flash.


ARROW (THE COOLER BATMAN… HAHA. JUST KIDDING)


arrow

SOOOOOOOOOOO excited for this season of Arrow. I’ve been waiting since forever to see Felicity Smoak and Oliver Queen get together. THIS SEASON WILL BE EPIC. Yea… I said that.  What better way to prepare for the new season of Arrow than to watch Supernatural and The Flash the day before.

TV SEASON IS HERE – I keep saying it but hey.. I’m excited… don’t judge me.


THE WALKING DEAD


ALL YOU DEAD HEADS MUST BE STOKED FOR THIS NEW SEASON.

the-walking-dead-season-3-poster-full-570x844

I know I am.. Now.. I mentioned earlier that The Walking Dead is a guilty pleasure of mine.. “WHYYYYY???” Some of you are probably screaming. Believe me, it has nothing to do with being embarrassed to say I like the show because that is definitely not the case. The reason it is my guilty pleasure is because I hate, hate, hate zombies. It has to be the most ridiculous concept for me. How can someone believe that a virus like that can spread and no one would be able to stop it or deal with it or cure it. It just seems illogical to me, especially with all of the weapons and technology along with the advancements in science that we continue to make daily. Now.. that being said, The Walking Dead is different… It’s not so much about the story of the zombies as it is about the people and how they survive the trials and tribulations of living in a post-apocalyptic society. Which to me, is awesome.


WHAT ELSE IS THERE?


tv-addict

So, obviously I have a bunch of TV shows on my plate as is.. however, I’m always welcome to adding a few more to my favourites list. What TV shows are you looking forward to this TV season? or maybe to you TV season is in January. I wanna know what YOUR favourite shows are! Who knows, I might just like it too!

SPOTTED @ HUMBER

Screen Shot 2014-10-01 at 3.04.30 PM

Most Humber students have heard of the facebook page, “spotted at humber” and if you haven’t … here’s a little break down for you.

Basically Spotted at Humber is a way for students to anonymously post things that they have seen around campus. So essentially the posts SHOULD be about things like finding a lost cellphone, or spotting something funny or interesting.

There’s a very poorly explained break down of spotted at Humber for you.

Now.. like I said, spotted at humber SHOULD be used for things like I mentioned above, however as of late, it’s become more of a hookup posting page. What is the deal with that?

Screen Shot 2014-10-01 at 3.06.03 PM

I’m all for the posts about funny things or people paying it forward, but come on people. Stop it with these love at first site posts. If you see someone you think is attractive or whatever the case may be, grow a pair and talk to them. I think a lot of us agree when I say no one wants to read about you kissing some girl at pub night but forgot to get her number and NAME.

Screen Shot 2014-10-01 at 3.06.37 PM

But wait, there’s more…

These aren’t the only overly annoying posts we find on Spotted at Humber… What’s with all the posts where people are complaining about things like, “to the dude walking slowly in front of me, learn to walk properly!” — To this I say, “NO, LEARN TO SPEAK UP AND SAY EXCUSE ME”.

Has society become so disconnected from people that the only way to get things done is to post about it on social media. We all have voices, so use them!

Screen Shot 2014-10-01 at 3.13.04 PM

Really man?.. Really??

Why not get up off your butt and tell those “distracting” people to turn off their music. Are you really that afraid of confrontation that you can’t kindly ask someone to be mindful of the noise they’re making?

Screen Shot 2014-10-01 at 3.12.06 PM

The irony in all this is that I’m actually sitting behind (in front of?…) a computer blogging about it… haha

COFFEE COFFEE COFEEEEEEEE.. Iced Latte?

Photo on 2014-09-16 at 8.56 AM

Hey,

Let me start off by introducing myself. I’m Amanda Santos, a 25-year-old female taking Radio Broadcasting at Humber College. I wont go into too much detail about myself but if you know me you know this: I love the TV show Supernatural, I love pugs and I love, love, LOVE Star Wars. So that being said, let’s get to it! My First blog for Radio Humber Life, here goes nothing.

Coffee_Love.jpg.crop_display[1]Getting back into the swing of things as we return back to school can be kind of tough and stressful. The late nights, early mornings, last minute work on assignments, that’s how we know we’re back in school. Going back to school means getting back to my coffee addiction… Admit it, that’s you too isn’t it? Now being a student you probably are trying to save your money as best as you can. Now how does saving money relate back to coffee? Well I’ve got some great coffee tips for you and the first one will definitely help you save big bucks. Instead of going to that over-priced fancy shmancy coffee place to buy your iced late’s, try this:

YABvFQgM-jTake your left over pot of coffee, after you’ve had a cup.. or two.. or three, pour that coffee into your ice tray and pop it in the freezer. Once it freezes, pour yourself a glass of milk, drop the ice cubes in and boom – Iced Latte. Pretty clever no?

Some other tips for coffee drinkers:

  • If your coffee is to strong or bitter, sprinkle a little salt in it. That will counteract that nasty bitter taste.
  • Don’t just use milk in your coffee! Pour the milk into a jar, shake it up for 30 seconds, pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds and BAM Latte Foam.
  • Don’t use sugar, use natural sweeteners like Honey, you can even ground up some coffee grounds with cinnamon, orange zest and any other fresh flavor you might want to add in. This will add the sweetness and kick you’re looking for without giving you that sugar high that is followed by the dreaded crash. Nobody wants to fall asleep in class, well… most of us don’t.
