Mardi Gras

I want to be a member of the Matoaca Middle National Junior Honor Society, because I believe that I possess the right characteristics to be a part of your association. Some examples of these traits are leadership, citizenship, character, and service. I am very honored to be considered for this society, but there is more than just my GPA to be considered. Besides the obvious pluses to being a part of this association, I am looking to widen my horizons and join other groups and clubs in order…

At lunch it is like a stampede in Africa. All the kids running everywhere and if your not careful they will “take you down”. It is so loud with everybody running and yelling every inch of the gym. It is kinda nasty because we play basketball in there. The different grades don't talk to each other at lunch. This is just some of things the gym is like. There are the lunch ladies who are really sweet but, if you’re not in line they will yell at you. If Ms. lisa sees you out of line she will…

Port of Call Port of Call, the French Quarter bar and grill was established in 1963 as a steakhouse. The restaurant is located on the historic and beautiful Esplanade Avenue in the French Quarter. Port of Call started out as a small quiet neighborhood restaurant open only at night. The menu consisted of primarily steaks. The chefs would grind up the steak scraps to make the hamburgers. Due to the chefs using steak scraps hamburgers were not a regular menu item. As time went on, Port of Call has…

the Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Award. The first movie he ever wrote was Autopsy (2008). He wrote the script to help his friend Evan Katz get started in the horror business. His first movie, Autopsy , is about five friends who, while leaving Mardis Gras, get into a car accident and kill a man. An ambulance immediately shows up afterwards, even though no one had called for help. They are taken to a hospital run by insane doctors. They perform brutal experimental surgeries on the friends,…

RVers they would do well. I know a woman that makes decals for the FreeRoaders; another guy use to make buttons for the GTGs and gave them away; I always told him he should charge for them since he was making 30-40 for each GTG. When I held the Mardi Gras GTG there were over 80 RVers there but he only made them for the FreeRoaders and not the WINs who attended. All depends on how handy you are. Don't know if you know of the 2 Crazy Ladies, they surely aren't crazy, who make name tags, and…

It is not difficult to tell that Montresor is insane. "The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne (p. 212)" is most likely an extreme exaggeration. These 'thousand injuries' were probably a figment of Montresor's imagination. Thus, Montresor actually had no viable motive for Fortunato's murder. Plus, the murder itself was inhumane. Montresor "fettered him to the granite (p. 216)," or chained his victim in a niche in the catacombs. After chaining his victim, Montresor "began vigorously to…

I got the incredible opportunity to intern at Telemundo New Orleans. As a member of PRSSA I attended a networking night last semester, and got to talk to a lot of people. Telemundo caught my attention, so when I stopped and talk, I asked for information and they told me they send me an email. Some weeks later I got an email from a Loyola student that worked there, saying they wanted to talk an offer me an internship if I was interested. That same Friday I went to an interview and got it. I was…

Our trip to the Jewish synagogue in Nashville, TN was cultural trip that taught us how the Jewish people lived, the different holidays, the different sects, and the different laws of the church. I learned the Jewish traditions and how the traditions have evolved from America. The lady who spoke to us in the Jewish synagogue was very passionate about her religion. She lives close to the synagogue because of religious purposes. She had strong views and told us about the life of a Jewish. She…

extend the family trip for another week! The vacation was truly an exotic experience due to the fascinating cuisine and history of New Orleans. What’s travelling to New Orleans without sampling their alluring food? The city may boast its raunchy Mardi Gras celebrations, but there is never a reason not to try the best Creole dishes in the country. Consequently, they have restaurants that are priced…

The Axeman of New Orleans When New Orleans crosses your mind, what do you first think of it? Is it Mardi Gras or the successful jazz musicians that were rooted in the city? Is it the food culture and festivities that come along every year? What if I was to tell you that there was once a period in New Orleans history that caused true hysteria and madness in the community? Well my friends; this is the story of a seventeen month long period of fear, anguish, and death. A period of time when people…
