Blog 4-FGCU in the future
The year is 2041, a young man by the name of Mitch Brown awakens in his dorm. He lives in the newly rebuilt Palmetto Hall after a crazed man destroyed the old one after failing out of his Comp. 1 class for never attending class. He rubs his eyes and walks into his 500 square-foot bathroom where he finds his laser brush to brush his teeth and his robotic assistant by the name of Alex Ovechkin 2.0. His assistant prepares a healthy meal for Mitch while he showers and gets ready for his day. While leaving his dorm he bumps into his roommate Andy and his assistant Tomas Vokoun. They just got back from sledding on the virtual mountain just installed on the library lawn. Andy explains that they started playing a new game on the mountain called daytonin, the game is simple yet adrenaline filled. The players must ski down a long funnel placed on the ice until they reach the valve. The valve is protected by the other team and must be opened in order to win. To open it the players must ski around the guards without being tackled out of their skis. The game is similar to hockey, basketball, and football all rolled into one. All the players must work together in order to reach the valve. Andy said that the game was lots of fun but was disappointed by the success of his assistant Vokoun. Every single game Vokoun would let everyone by him as if he didn't care. Andy wanted someone who could help out his team better. Mitch explained that he would help figure something out later that afternoon after all of his classes, Andy agreed and they both went on their ways. Mitch walked out of his building to where the old busses used to pick kids up. He greeted the man at the counter and asked "is the red Lamborghini still in?". The man said that the red one had just been rented for the day. Mitch agreed to take a Lamborghini Reventon rather than the red Mucielago he requested. Within minutes the car was delivered at the door and the keys were put in Mitch's hands. This was a new program just started at the school this year to help promote Lamborghini since they moved their plant to Naples, FL this past year. Lamborghini saw the local college nearby as a great place to get speed hungry young adult a chance to drive a new Lambo everyday and also get reviews on their cars. Mitch gets to Professor Valier's class in a matter of seconds and reclines in his chair just moments before Vallier walks in. The class is very short today because they are just working on their blogs in class. Although it is short Mitch has a hard time focusing because he can almost smell the prime rib steak being thrown on the grill at SoVi today. As soon as class is over he bolts out of the door and races his Lamborghini to SoVi. Mitch jumps out and heads into his favorite cafeteria of all the land. On the menu today is the usual prime rib, fresh sushi, and head chef Sidney Crosby's famous P.B. and J's. After chowing down on his favorites Mitch Heads back to his room to discuss a possible trade with Andy. When he arrives he finds Andy watching old shows our great grandfathers used to watch such as, Gold Rush, FUBAR, and Young Frankenstein. Mitch joins him and watches the shows until he finally asks if he wants to discuss the team. Andy explains that he just ordered a new assistant by the name of Jose Theodore to replace Vokoun as the protector of the valve because Vokoun's software was only good for another year anyways. Mitch wants to participate in daytonin also so he needs to find a protector if he wants to play. Mitch asks Ovechkin 2.0 if he wants to play but Ovechkin says that he's better at offense then defense. Mitch decides that a bad protector is better than no protector at all so Mitch offers to give Andy $1 for Vokoun to play on his team. Andy agrees and gives Vokoun to Mitch's team so they can play. Mitch was exhausted from all the work he did that day so he went to bed shortly after the trade took place. Legend has it Vokoun and Ovechkin were unstoppable at daytonin the year of 2041and won the Washington Everblades their first ever Pabst Cup.

I love this story so much because you invented your own future world but incorporated FGCU into it so people can actually imagine it happening.
ReplyDeleteI really dig the story, very few futuristic ideas, just crazy ideas about Lambo's(nothing wrong with that) but I really loved the way you put the setting at FGCU. It made it extremely believable.
ReplyDeleteThis makes sense the fact that you and Andy are die hard hockey fans. I think the ski track would be very cool in our library lawn, good idea. Lambos are a nice add to the school, wish that would really happen.
ReplyDeleteWow, it seems like you had a lot of fun with this project. I really love how it starts off with you got a new dorm building because someone went crazy. That sounds like something that would happen in the future. I also love how you made up your own game. You seem to have a very active imagination.
ReplyDeleteYou're an odd guy to say the least. Your story is very exuberant and you like to exaggerate, which is necessary for a growing young adult like yourself. I'm ready for Daytona.
