Anthony Bourdain: The Last Season

Hi everyone,

This weeks post is a little different than what I usually talk about. We are going to discuss the show, "Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown."

Bourdain was 61-years-old when he committed suicide in Northeastern France about four months ago. To many people, he was more than just a cook; he was a travel companion, a friend and the guy who was up for any adventure. In the 11th and last season of the show, Bourdain visits Kenya with Kamau Bell in one of the episodes. Bell is the face of the show, "United Shades of America." In many interviews leading up to the episode, Bell said he really felt a close friendship was beginning to bloom with Bourdain.


I believe this show relates to my blog because they travel to countries around the world, visit fun attractions and eat! Now, I know I only talk about places to travel in Gainesville and the surrounding areas, but I think this can give inspiration to all those adventurists out there! There are so many amazing places within the city limits (and a little beyond that) and great places to eat.
 
Numerous people on Facebook and Twitter have expressed their gratitude and love for Bourdain:

 
 
You can preview tonight's episode, Sunday, September 23, on Youtube: 

Here is a link to an interview where Bell describes the friendship he and Bourdain were going to have and the grieving process he went through.

Let his message be a lesson to all:

A New Chapter

Hi Everyone! I just wanted to give you all a life update. The past couple weeks I have been working on a lot of news stories for school, and a lot of them have been turning out pretty great. I have put some of the best ones on my blog, including: new parks in Gainesville  (I also have a video on it), Stormwater Planters  and I recently did an investigative story on the plastic ban in the city. I also have a reporter reel with all my best stories and anchoring clips. I also will put my paper resume in this blog so you can see what I have achieved so far the past two years I have been at UF. I am graduating in August and I'm starting to look for jobs...but don't worry, I'll always make sure to update my readers even after I graduate. ;) Tessa Bentulan Tessabentulan@gmail.com • (305) 790-8482 • Gainesville, FL Objective ·         Seeking an entry-level MMJ position at a local news station or radio station Education Bachelor of Science in Tel

Hi Everyone! As you may know, from my "About the Author" blog post, I am a broadcast journalism student at the University of Florida. I will be graduating this August, and I am currently looking for a job. I am looking for a job with the media - I would like to either work as a reporter at local news station or in production, behind the scenes. Any feedback you may have is greatly appreciated! You can email or call me if you would like to talk to me about opening entry-level positions you may have at your company. Thanks! Here is my resume and a link to some of my most recent work as a reporter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bk5xLz8hpjs

Greyhound Adoption

Image
Over the weekend I went to Starbucks in Tioga Town Center , and as I was getting closer to the coffee shop, I noticed a heard of greyhounds in the front of the building. Almost every Saturday, Greyhound Pets of America - Gainesville chapter has meet ups with dogs who are up for adoption. They also have greyhounds and their owners, who were adopted through GPA, come to Starbucks to catch up. They had three dogs up for adoption : Caesar, Euro and Dude. They were beautiful dogs and they're so friendly, they just wanted to be loved and pet all day long. If you ever have the chance to head out there or if you just are in need of some affection from a friendly hound, Tioga Town Center on Saturdays is the place for you!...and maybe you'll even adopt one ;) Also, if you're a dog lover and have kids check out my previous post about reading with dogs at the library:  https://hiddengemgnv.blogspot.com/2018/10/reading-to-dogs.html
