Summer of '10

Once school gets out, I plan on going on a camping trip with some buddies somewhere in the mountains and having a good time before returning to back home. I plan on being home for about two weeks and working construction for the same guy I worked for last year. Once June starts I will return to Missoula for a month of summer school. I hope to go fly fishing, floating the river, and mountain biking quite a bit as well as doing the whole school thing while I'm here. My brother and a couple of my friends are also going to be in Missoula this summer so it should make for a pretty fun time. When July comes around I'll be done with my classes and return back home to Glendive. I will return to working construction to put some cash in my pocket. Glendive will be a fun time in the summer as well . Most of my friends from high school will be back in town and we usually have a pretty fun time whether we're going camping along the Yellowstone River, partying, co-ed softball, or just hanging out. Then I'll return back to Missoula for fall semester. All in all, it should be a pretty fun and exciting summer of 2010.

The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien (deceased)

The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien was by far my favorite late night show before it was taken off the air by NBC about two months ago. There was a lot of controversy involving Conan's take over right from the start last June. Conan took over for the long time tonight show host Jay Leno. Leno had a lot of followers, as did Conan. However, most of Leno's followers were older or middle aged groups, where as Conan appealed to more of a younger audience. The controversy carried over into Conan's first season and within eitht months the show ended in a somewhat ugly break up between Conan and NBC.

The main reason I enjoyed Conan over other late night hosts like Leno or Letterman, is because I grew up watching Conan ever since I was in elementary school. A lot of people don't know this, but Conan is a graduate from Harvard, so he is a very bright guy. Fresh out from college, Conan took a job as a writer for Saturday Night Live and later was hired for a new show on FOX called the Simpsons in the early 90's. The show, as we know was a hit, and later NBC hired him to become the Late Night host for NBC. His immature and stupid humor is what first attracted me to him. When the writers went on strike two years ago, Conan's show was one of the few shows that kept airing. Conan wrote most of his shows during this time, with little help, and in my opinion, these episodes were some the funniest things I've ever seen on television. Conan's canny and witty sense of humor is what makes him great.
