How About this Weather???

So this has been a pretty wacky year as far as the weather is concerned; more locally in the city of Chicago this was the warmest winter. All year last year, the weather was having mood swings and acting bipolar towards the city. One day it is cold the next day people are wearing shorts. Now a lot of paranoid delusional people believe that it was the end of the world....really? the end of the world? come'on man lets be serious. Meteorologist tried to come up with solutions for why the country was experiencing such a warm winter. There were several hypothesis on why it was like this, had to do with the jet stream and the rotation of the planet and yada, yada, yada. So the "end of the world" idea i believe is completely ludicrous. It's alright people a little heat during the winter doesn't mean an apocalypse is upon us.

Music these days....

Who doesn't love to listen to music? From the different genres and styles, it is hard to believe that nobody doesn't enjoy the sound of a great melody. From the sounds of country music to the upbeat style of hip hop, there is music out there for everybody, but I have noticed something. The music that we use to listen to back in the day is not what it use to be. Take Hip Hop/Rap for example, when this style of music came out MC's would rap about hanging out with their "homies" and just having a good time. Nowadays all you hear in these songs is about getting money and girls and just acting a fool. Yeah it might seem similar as far as the party night life but the language of the music back then to now is way more vulgar; some people let this kind of music influence them (which is ridiculous). Some people seem to forget that these people are already successful so they can do the stuff they talk about, people that aren't on their level think they can get away with doing the stuff they do....WRONG. Don't let music influence you people its just music, just like movies, most of them aren't real so don't jump off a building thinking you are a superhero.

soooo about these Movies coming out

As most of the general population does is they go to the movies, whether it be on weekends or a spontaneous idea that one has. The most anticipated movie that most people are raving about nowadays is The Avengers. Now if you aren't familiar with The Avengers here is a brief synopsis of it; it consist of four popular super heros:

  • Ironman
  • Captain America 
  • Thor
  • and The Hulk
and they basically save the earth (what else do heros do) and of course you have a villain, in this case it is Loki (Thor's brother). Everyone wants to see The Avengers because i believe it brings generations of society to watch something similar. Kids parents that grew up knowing about The Avengers and now kids of this generation get to see why their parents act like them when they see movies that take them back to their own childhood. I know I am going to see the movie, at least four times.

Da NFL Draft

Last week the National Football League held its annual NFL Draft in Radio City Music Hall; fans and teams eager to see who they would get. Everybody who watches sports or is familiar with football knows of two high profile top picks in the draft:

  • Andrew Luck - a 6'4, 234lbs QB out of Stanford and
  • Robert Griffin III - a 6'2, 223lbs QB out of Baylor
Between these two powerhouse QB's, Luck was getting a lot of attention as far as "who is the better quarterback?" debate. But as the draft drew closer and closer people start to see how good of a player Robert Griffin III or RG3 is. A month before the actual draft, the teams with the first two picks were going back in forth in debating which player would help their team out the best. At the end though, the Indianapolis Colts got Andrew Luck and the Washington Redskins picked up RG3. Hopefully all the hype that was surrounding these two athletes was folly.

Playoffs???

Just recently, the NBA Playoffs started; with all the excitement around this season from the shortened season to the draft and trades throughout the league, this year was bound to be full of surprises. Surprises are right, in Game 1 of the CHI vs. PHI game, reigning MVP Derrick Rose suffered a torn ACL in the left knee in the last minute of the game. Are you serious? Out of all the players that could've gotten hurt it had to be him. Not wishing injury to anyone, but anybody else but him. So now with Derrick Rose done for the remainder of the post-season, the Bulls will have their hands full with the remander of the Playoffs. Chicago and San Antonio are the only two teams this season with 50 wins on a 66-game season (impressive). Chicago won more than half their games without the MVP (even more impressive). Hopefully Chicago can quiet the doubters in Game 2 of the CHI vs PHI series.
