THINGS DON'T SEEM RIGHT.

THINGS DON'T SEEM RIGHT.

This is dedicated to one Mr. Buckley, European History sophomore teacher extraordinaire: an extraordinary man who unbeknownst to me helped me subconsciously cultivates my lust and love for all things history.

Long before he inspired me though, I was a wise fool, just going through the motions, waiting for basketball practice.  He then presented me, along with the rest of my cohorts in our 10th grade European History (when he wasn’t throwing garbage cans to a snoozing Jamel Cooke) with a proverb that was attached …

LEE EVANS. DROPPED IT LIKE IT'S NOT.

LEE EVANS. DROPPED IT LIKE IT'S NOT.

Truth be told, through and through, I’m a Baltimore Ravens fan.  It’s the National Football League, and it seems as though America and their fans have a maniacal obsession with their respective teams.  I just so happen to live close to Baltimore, but far enough for no one to share my sentiment in love for the team.  NY, naturally and rightly so, is scattered with Giant and Jet fans all over.

The fate of the Raven season was sealed by a wide …

YOUNG ADULTS.

IS AGE REALLY JUST A NUMBER?

It’s true: age is but a number, yet there are so many more facets that get tacked onto that integer.  There’s upbringing, environment, experience, perception, maturity just to name a few that support the story as a whole. Consider the stories of the younger, a position I’ve known in my former life all to well.  I can think of an instance of this young lady by the age of 26, and I at the tender number of 21, courting her attention …

Movies 2012.

In the Four-Hour Body by Timothy Ferriss, he gives you interesting, to say the least, tips on how to relearn what you think about health and fitness.  It’s a recommended read, but I wanted to quarantine something he speaks about among those pages. In it, there’s a guy who doesn’t change his diet, but instead documents it, and still eats the same – but perhaps by changing the timing of eating these foods – like donuts, pizza and the like, and simply writing it down or imputing …

What I Learned This Week. SPORTS RUNS MY LIFE!!

Newark.

Newark.

All sorts of sports ran my life over the weekend, but for real, let’s keep it 100% – sports don’t really run my life – it is my life. I feel ambiguously guilty, yet presumably innocent, fully implicating my love affair with sport and wiping those guilty hands of mine on my wife – who has slowly become tainted. It was just yesterday that we saw Tim Tebow, with the help of his Lord & Savior Jesus Christ throw long balls all day against the #1 defense in the …

THE HEATLES, UNABLE TO PERFORM IN ATLANTA, GA.

THE HEATLES, UNABLE TO PERFORM IN ATLANTA, GA.

 

Tomorrow my wife Ayda and I will be embarking on a road trip to see the 2012 Miami Heat, live.  They play the New Jersey Nets at the Prudential Center in Newark.  Yesterday, I got a glimpse of the Heat, albeit some of their marquee players sat out with injuries.  This got me disappointed.

Surely the good people of Atlanta, fans of the Hawks, or those that just wanted to catch the Heat, were sorely disappointed like me seeing Lebron James …
