I have been sitting in the computer lab in downstairs Powell for 30 minutes trying to figure out what I'm going to say about myself while i should be studying for a geography quiz that I'm about to take in about 2 hours.....oh well. My name is Jon Fore, full name is Jonathan but though the years it has been shorten down to Jon, and I'm currently a Sophomore at Eastern Kentucky University. My major at the present time is History Teaching, but after having Dr. Dave for two classes (if you don't know who Dr. Dave is you will find out) i have decided to change my major to Biology, yes i know that is a drastic change. I have all along decided that i wanted to teach and history at the time it seemed interesting to me. As I have matured and journeyed further down my collegiate life I have found history to be somewhat....dare i say....meaningless. Yes, history has a part in our lives and is important to know, but if I'm going to teach children I want to teach them something that they can apply to their lives and make some use of it. Knowing how our bodies work, and how we can better our bodies seems much more important to teach kids then the Desalinization of Soviet Russia (this topic was assigned to me in one of my history classes to spend a whole semester writing one paper about......needless to say this was the straw that broke the camels back).
After reading this first paragraph you have probably found out that my grammar SUCKS ! I apology if this is hard for some people to read, but hopefully you have found me somewhat interesting and have continued reading. Well i guess its time to talk about Jon Fore the person, not the scholar that i am (hint hint sarcasm I think that is how you spell it) I am a night manager at O'Reilly Auto Parts in Richmond, where I "pretend" I know what I'm talking about we it comes to automotive repair. My dad has been in the auto parts business his whole life, working in my grandparents store Fores Auto Supply and is currently the Sales Managers for O'Reilly's in the Lexington area. In his years in the business he failed to pass any of his knowledge to me and I'm having to learn this stuff on my own, a recurring theme with me and my dad. I actually enjoy getting a REAL hard part to a car that isn't in the computer and having to drag out books and seeing the amazement on customers faces that I actually found it when those flukes at Advance and Auto Zone couldn't. When I actually get away from school and work, which is rarely never, I train and show mountain horses. I have done this for about 5 years now, and if I do say so myself am pretty good at it. I have won a couple of high point awards, and won one international championship. Besides showing horses, I also am i certified horse show judge and the lone picture that you see of me is me judging a horse show (more picture to come...promise)
Ah now the fun begins, and this is where many of you, if you are still reading of course, will stop. I am a dire heart REPUBLICAN and politics is what i live and breath. Obama is destroying our country and in further post i will convince you of such. To gain followers i will stop my political spill at that.
With politics being on passion, another one that i have is college sports. I LOVE UK basketball and this year we are going to be pretty kick ass, thank god for Coach Cal! I also follow college football pretty closely, just wished Kentucky had a decent team. One of my goals in life is to be a basketball coach, high school, college something! I never played sports when I was in middle and high schools because I thought I was fat and that other kids would make fun of me and for the simple fact that my dad NEVER put up my basketball goal at the house.....thanks dad.
In conclusion, because I REALLY need to study now, I'm kinda new to this blog thing and i know that this introduction was probably more boring than me studying the Desalinization of Russia but with the help of the blogging expert Carrie i hope to get better. I wanted to start a blog because during the day there are SO many things that run threw my tiny little brain and i would like to share them with people. For example, why in the HELL is EKU putting synthetic turf on the football and baseball fields while God gave us FREE grass and my tuition is going up? Why would some guy stands in the ravine and plays the bagpipes when he is no good? Why "Barry" has over 30 czars and they don't have to go threw Senate conformation? But that's all for know folks, hope you enjoyed and read more!
