My First Blog Post- Joe

        Hello! My name is Daniel Joseph O'Leary, most just call me Joe, and this is my first year at LBCC. I have immense interest in journalism, but my major is history and I intend to become a high school teacher. I love the art of reporting and creating things. Sports is certainly my beat as I was the sports editor for my high school's newspaper and worked as a sports feature writer for my hometown's local paper. I hope to help bring some great sports coverage to The Commuter, but I enjoy all forms of print and photojournalism. I enjoy the outdoors a lot, hiking is one of my favorite hobbies, and I play a lot of basketball with friends. Music is also something I'm very passionate about--I don't play any instrument but I always basically have music playing, of any and all genres. Jazz, jazz-funk, 70s (southern) rock, 2000s hip-hop especially 2000s underground hip-hop, reggae, and soul would probably rank as my favorite genres, but I like just about everything. I'm excited for this term most of my classes seem like they'll be fairly easy, mostly because they're all things I have interests in. I work at a gas station when I'm not at school, good times.

All of us were doing everything to contribute anyway we could. I think we started a little slow and that was just when we upped the intensity,” Townsend said. And up the intensity they did, Townsend especially, at multiple points screaming in celebration towards his team’s bench and his opponents on the Storm bench after scoring during that part of the game–one that marked a huge momentum shift.  ...
