I start my post off today with my uncontrollable optimism for the Cincinnati Redlegs. I can't wait for the baseball season to begin. I know that most, if not all of you, hate baseball season. I'll admit it's a little long, especially when your favorite team just gets obliterated every game. But hey, this is the one time of year, that MY Cincinnati Reds, are in first place. That's right, first place!! I actually feel pretty solid about this upcoming season. I think the reds have some good young players, and they are a team like they have never been before. They have good pitching, and a limited amount of old washed-up ball players still trying to "make it." April 5th. Yes, Sunday night, the first baseball game of the year will be played. To be honest, I won't watch that game. Why, you might ask? Well, here it is. The Reds have played the very first game of the year for quite some time now, up until about 4 years ago. For some inane reason, Major League Baseball decided to play games the Sunday before the Reds play. HELLO, you just messed with TRADITION!! You don't mess with tradition. So, in turn, my first baseball game of each and every year, will always be the Cincinnati Reds. There is no such as Opening Day anywhere else, but in Cincinnati. So boo you MLB, for not continuing Tradition, and disrespecting the Cincinnati Reds organization.
Shifting gears, I was flipping through some tv channels and one of the channels was CNN. Apparently, some spear-fisherman, speared himself in the head. How does that happen??? Was he trying to spear jumping fish?? I don't get it. If the fish are in the water, how in the world do you spear yourself??
We are down to the Final Four in college basketball! My predictions are as follows:
Michigan State vs. UConn-
This will be a tight defensive battle. Michigan St. is a stellar defensive team, and UConn has Hsheem Thabeet. This game will go back and forth the whole game. UConn will win though. They will hit a shot with about 20 seconds left in the game leaving Mich. St. with a last second shot, only for that shot to go in-and-out. Look for tears to arrive as the time expires. Tears of defeat, and heartbreak, as well as joy!!
Villanova vs. North Carolina-
Just to refresh everyone's memories, I HATE North Carolina. I am very bitter that they have gone further than my beloved Duke Blue Devils. So, because of this, I must go on record as saying that Villanova (the team that took out Duke) will continue on with their wave of momentum. They will go, and play their best game of the year. They will shut down Ty Lawson, keep Psycho T (his nickname, but literally, rumor has it that he is pyscho.) to his normal amount of points. They will make North Carolina play defense, and I think everyone knows that North Carolina doesn't know what defense means. 'Nova moves on to play UConn!
CHAMPIONSHIP GAME- Villanova vs. UConn-
'Nova is on mission! Earlier in the season, 'Nova traveled to UConn and lost only by 6 points. This time, it's REVENGE! They get 'em on a neutral court and show the nation how good they truly are!! I don't know how they will do it, but it will be done! They will win it all, and finally, get their "One Shining Moment!"
YOUR (my) NATIONAL CHAMPION-- The Villanova Wildcats
In other news, it was announced yesterday, that Guiding Light will be cancelled. It's a shame right? WRONG! The less soap operas America has, the better!
So, last week was my Spring Break. I went to North Carolina! Sounds good right? Hmm, it was really nice to get away, and just have some time to relax. When you think of North Carolina, you think of nice weather, and beaches. Sounds perfect right? Well, the nearest beach is Myrtle Beach. Which is awesome. The problem? It was 3 hours away, and when you are left without a car, that is a LLLOOONNNGGG walk. So, that was out! Now, touching on the whole nice weather part, I was there from midnight on Sunday to Saturday morning. When I woke up Monday morning, it was chilly. Sunny but chilly. So there was no laying out going on. From Tuesday until the day that I left, it rained. It rained the whole time! But, I must say, if you are ever in Pfafftown, North Carolina, make it a must to stop at El Macho Nacho, or as the regulars at the restaurant like to say, El Maguey. But, while in North Carolina, I came across and XBox 360, and well, that was fun. There is nothing like playing online against people who literally, don't do anything in life, and play video games from the time they wake up to the time they go to bed. Only to get up the next day to the exact same thing. I played Call of Duty: World at War for the first time. It is a very good game, but frustrating if you are a beginner playing against crazy "experts". But, all in all, my trip to North Carolina was a success. My one big complaint though, I was sitting at my gate at the Dayton Airport waiting for my flight to start to boarding. I was watching the news, not because I wanted to, but because that was the only thing in the whole airport that was on tv. So, what comes on the tv? Ahh, there is nothing like hearing about two plane crashes that just happened, right before you start boarding your flight. So, thank-you very much Dayton Airport staff members for the much not-needed anxiety about flying, and then crashing!
The Real World Finale was on last night. And, it goes without surprise that there was one more fight between roommates to finish off the season! I must say that I called it from the very beginning that Baya and Ryan would start dating. Of course, being the genius that I am, it came true when we learned that they are starting a relationship on the Reunion. Ryan is about to go back to Iraq for the second time, and it goes without saying, "Be safe, and come home soon Ryan!!"
