Basketball Team

I coach an AAU basketball team for 7th graders. I love coaching these kids, but then again i want these kids to be able to have fun with sports still. Some of these kids never get a break from a certain sports. Their parents make them play year round to make them the best player they can possibly be. Honestly, I liked sports back when i was little. If you wanted to get good at a sport you played pick up games with your friends outside. You didnt pay anyone to personally train you, you got better by yourself

Osama Is Dead

Osama Bin Laden got killed today. This made me extremely happy for America especially with how our country is right now. He has caused a lot of pain and suffering to innocent people. After thinking about how great it was that he is dead and how happy i am that we got him, i though about something. Is it good for us to celebrate a death of this man? Going to the religious side, he is a son of God. And in the Bible it says to love your enemies.

Big Brothers Big Day

My big brother just turned 21 today. It is so weird thinking that now he can drink with my parents at home if he wants to now. It is weird to think that he is that old already. Me and my brother have been best friends ever since i was born. We did everything together, we even are going to the same college. I still cant believe that he is 21 now.

Little 5

I dont know if any of you went to IU this past weekend, but if you did hopefully you had as much fun as i did! I went to the wiz concert which was pretty good. After i went to one of my good friends from high school's fraternity. The houses there are absolutely huge. They make our houses here look like cardboard boxes.

Playoffs

Time for the long playoffs for the NBA. I am pulling for Chicago to bring home another championship. Derrick Rose is such a great player. Honestly, i do not think there is anyone in the playoffs right now who can put someone on him that will shut him down. He can score every time down the floor if he wanted to. I want to see him face Kobe Bryant in the finals and yes McArdle it will be like a Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan match up.

Happy Feet

The movie happy feet was on tv and i had it on in the background while i was doing homework. Then it caught my eye, happy feet has some stereotyping in it. for example the little penguins that follow the main character around are resembling Mexicans. They put a spanish accent to their english and another detail is they make the penguins shorter than the main character. This is a childrens movie yet it has stereotyping in it.

Butler Bulldogs

I dont know how many of you watched the game on saturday, but it was a great game! Butler has the national championship at their fingertips. UCONN will be tough to beat but Butler has done more than enough to prove themselves capable of beating them. Matt Howard is their "key" player, as ESPN says, and during the game saturday he got into foul trouble. The Bulldogs did not miss a beat even with him not in the game. For an opponent to watch that has to get them a little worried. I will definitely be cheering for Butler this Monday!
