Doing The Big Apple, City of Brotherly Love and the Capital.

On my spring break, me and 24 of the best students throughout the school along side four "chaporones" visited three big cities in the east side of the United States,New York, Philadelphia and Washington D.C. We did so many things that I cannot be able to explain it all in this posting, nobody can explain everything that happen I mean is just too much. At NY, we visited Fordham, NYU and Columbia for the colleges, in Philadelphia we visited Penn and only three of us visited Temple University and in D.C. we visited Georgetown and George Washington University while others visited Howard University. As for the sight seeing in New York we want to Time Square, Ellis Island, Chinatown, Rockefeller Center, Union Station, Central Park, Metropolitan Museum, and 9/11 Memorial. In Philadelphia it was Independence Hall, City Hall, South Street, Citizens Bank Park and the Liberty Bell. In D.C. we want to Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, World War II memorial, quick stop to the White House, Smithsonian and Capital Hill. For seven days we cover more in three cities then most people can do in a year, with the viewing and lifestyle each city offers. The number one problem for the group was the weather, oh man I mean we deal with one night of rain and wind at the same time and at times snow fell from the sky for a couple of minutes, it was cold and nothing but cold, with the highest being about 57 ° degrees in NY and the lowest probably a tied of 31 ° in Philly and D.C. with a combination of cold strong wind. That is something that we all expirience the hard way but non the less that didn't stop us from enjoying our week that was in the east coast. Visiting these three cities show us the life of the east, as well as the how the big city and a college could become a great pair for a student because of all the wonders these two settings can offer. It was truly something that non of use will ever forget and that it will be talk about for a very long time.

Bracketology 101

It's that time of year again, its March Madness all over again across the good old USA. Now I know you filled out your bracket and hopefully you get something out of it. I mean common now its 65 teams fighting the madness to reach to the National title and the final. Did you know that the odds to get the perfect bracket is know 223,372,040,000,000,000 to 1 chance ever since it went up to 65 teams. Now that really favours many people. Last year in my Pick 'em League I ended up 11 place out of 12, yeah that bad because of one paricular team from Faixfax, Virginia. You should really go to http://www.stat.yale.edu/~jay/News/WSJbb.pdf it tells you more about perfection in the brackets of college basketball. This year many companies are making contests and challenges like $1,000,000 for the perfect bracket and that leads to people competing, like in school we should do a contest for the best bracket a student predicted in their filling the blanks. But if you want the perfection there is a another way, all you just got to do is fill out 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 different ways to fill out a from a 65-team field. To get a bracket and get a head start clickhttp://www.ncaasports.com/basketball/mens/brackets/printable/2007 and print it . Enjoy it, its a rush and passion that you will remember and must certainly enjoy.

Super Bowl XLI

The X-tra L-arge I was a rainy, slippery, soaky miami style bowl for the Indianapolis Colts and the Chicago Bears. The South Florida sun didn't came out for the game or for the Bears by their defeat from the Colts. It was a horrible night for Rex Grossman who couldn't controlled the football and making him turn it to the defense for a long time. I had to watch the first ten- minutes in a little T.V. because our power was out for half- an hour making me see three excellent touchdowns in a tiny screen, (how lame is that). By the second half everyone saw the intense Peyton Manning and his defense ready to shoot some Bears with the ball. And thats what they did with the ball throwing for 247 yards with 1 touchdown and leaving the Bears to just 3 points in the 2nd half. Being outscored 23 to 3 from the 2nd Quater to the 4th Quater sealed the deal for the Colts making them win their first championship since Super Bowl V when they were in Baltimore. So congrats to the Colts after so many oppertunities to appear in this stage and being one step closer to winning. But know the monkey is of their back and could finally celebrate this one for a long time.

Damn Those Patriots!!!

What do you get when theirs a university from Fairfax, Virginia. Who is from a mid-major conference called the Colonial and who was a 11th seeded team and barely made the tournament. And defeated teams like Michigan State, North Carolina (the defending champions) and Connecticut (the favorites). Damn, you get the George Mason Patriots who are in the Final Four for the first time ever. But to become National Champions they have a though task ahead, they have to defeat Florida to reach the finals and they will face the winner of the LSU and UCLA match. Is this possible for them yes but is it going to happen. HELL NO!!! Why, well I'm not really sure accept theirs UCLA and Jordan Farmar still alive which equals National Title. But dont be sure about dont be sure about those damn Patriots!!!

WHAT'S NEW

To me it has been about a million days since I have written in my blog and so many things has happen. Like one I am almost a quater way finish in my sphomore year at Animo Venice. I started playing Rugby in a club for Santa Monica (it's really serious and though). And I will be moving out of Los Angeles and will move to Crenshaw very soon with the family. After living in the same house for your entire life really makes you old, but moving away from that oldnest will bring a fresh new start in the new place. Lets see what happens next around here.

CURSE HAS BEEN LIFTED !

Last season a curse has been lifted from baseball that is called the curse of "The Bambino" of the Boston Red Sox beating the Cardinals in four games. Nobody thought that the Red Sox will win last year or that a curse will never be lifted again.But. The Chicago White Sox has been waiting for about 87 years long and nobody thought they will even be in the playoffs. But they had the best record in the American League and they beat two good teams in order to head to the World Series the Red Sox in three games and the Angels in five games.Plus a couple of controversy calls and heroic performance made the White Sox advance to there first World Series since the 1950's. In the World Series they face the Houston Astros and that was a easy victory for the White Sox's sweeping them in four games and capturing the crown.
