Can't Wait 4 My Bday

In less than 5 months, I will be not only graduating Junior year, but I will become 18 years old on July 24. Some reason, I waited for this moment for a long time. In weeks after that, I would like to take the drivers test and hopefully get my license around September or early October. I would of gotten it earlier, but my high school wouldn't allow me to go into the chores since it was freshman only. I think it's bull cause I just came to this school sophomore year, and my other school didn't have driver's ed until sophomore year. That really messed me up. But check this out, as a new early bird class for next year, their going to have a Driver's Ed class! Really ticked me off. They should of had this before... but whatever, I'll just get it this summer. As for my choice of gifts, I don't really know yet except to ask for a Bentley, a brand new laptop, or a new HD TV. I'm more leaning towards the car and the laptop. The car, I know my parent's are really gonna ponder that one because it is pricey and they want to make sure it is not a "gas guzzler" and if it's safe to drive. That's all they will be caring about the car... and the price. Its my dream car and I get it or not, I'm gonna try to pursuit a great job and get one. Laptop, well, they been knowing I wanted a new computer. One we have now is like 3 centuries old... okay maybe just 5 years old, but it still isn't updated. Not to be picky, but I would be ecstatic if I gotten either one of those two.

As for the party, my parent's said they want to go to Disney Land... now what 18 year old wants to go over there for their birthday. I really hope they were kidding... cause that would suck if they were really considering it. What I want to do is just have all my family members and friends to come over to a big building that is close by like Benicia, Vallejo, or American Canyon. I would have a D.J. out there, Latin food, project my life leading up to my 18 birthday, and have some game battles. Ha ha, after saying all that, I can say goodbye to the Bentley and hello to the station wagon!

Crazy Off-Season

Ever since Pro Bowl, the NFL off-season has been getting crazy. Raiders eliminated nearly all of their coaching staff. Cowboys having problems with T.O. and Adam 'Pacman' Jones. Anquin Boldin wants out of Arizona Cardinals, and Bengals may lose two of their best wide receivers. The free agency has loaded of talented players awaiting to get signed a big deal. Another thing, players wanted out of their teams cause they are upset of their current team, such as Anquin Boldin and his contract issues. Just a lot of things happening right now, it's really exciting. Lately, it's been about the upcoming rookies in the NFL Combine. Michael Crabtree from Texas Tech wide receiver, had a stree fracture on his foot and will need surgery. He would be out for 6-10 weeks and may hinder him in the draft. Maybe not so much though, cause wide receivers like him is very rare so teams may take a risk and get him. Another thing is Alabama OT Andre Smith missed the NFL Combine, stating that he felt he wasn't ready. Well, he had a lot of time to prepare himself for the NFL Combine so I don't get how do you not be ready. It's your career on the line, and he may actually go down; from being top 10 to late 1st round-2nd round. All this happening now may shake up the draft decisions for a lot of teams. My team, Oakland Raiders change their draft decisions if Jeremy Maclin gets picked up by the Seahawks. Maybe Tim Tebow's favorite target, Percy Harvin, U. of Florida. If that happens, any teams needing a wide out might as well grab Michael Crabtree. So many events is happening right now, I just can't wait for the NFL Draft. Raiders '09!!!

The A-Rod Situation

Ok, I'm tired of this on going A-rod situation. Media been talking about it for nearly 3 weeks straight. Yea, he did take steriods.. okay what's next? Why I hate the watching the news sometimes. They persuit something that is already said and done. When Barry Bonds was caught, everyone started talking about him. Now they have A-rod mess going on. I want the media to stop persuing the same topic over and over again. I want ESPN to stop talking about him. I want to see highlights, not watching biography about someone who apologize about taking steriods and now everyone wants to bag on him. Swear, get a different job if you just gonna write and talk about the same guy about the same topic over and over.

Funny Ventriloquist

My friend showed me Jeff Dunham and Walter on Comedy Central, and my gosh, he made me laugh through the whole thing. Not just how he say it and what he say, it's the expressions on Walter's face. Jeff always ask Walter hows his wife is doing. Walter normally says how horrible she is. "I think my house is haunted." "Why is that, Walter?" ponders Jeff. "Every time I open the door I hear a wisp saying 'Get out! Get out!'." I laughed cause that wisp is his wife. Another part is when Jeff said,"People say that their wife ages like fine wine." Walter:"Well mine ages like milk." I cracked up til' my stomach hurt.

When Jeff Dunham and Walter were at Washington D.C., Jeff Dunham ask Walter,"So how do you like D.C." "Lovely city, nice to get mugged at Nation's Capitol...Remember the time when we were at Fort Mortardal, Florida." Jeff said,"Yea." "Well, the people there were full of me. And the weather, it was very humid. 'Its dry heat'. Yea it's dry heat that I started growing moss from my ass....Only thing I loved about that place was when I was on the beach, blue sky's and I saw a tiny cloud coming over." All of the sudden Walter does a blowy wind sound effects. "Yea, when your in the toilet you would be like 'AHHHH!!! (moving around his head in a circular motion) and poop is flying everywhere in the room." Hecka funny.

One part, he saw a camera guy behind him and he said, "Hey look, it's the CIA...Hello? I see you... we all see you... You know its better watching in the front... The hell, is the director junk?" Walter is hecka funny.

He's a very good ventriloquist. There wont be any other that can be as good as him. Jeff Dunham is the Michael Jordan of all ventriloquist.

Finally the Warriors Show Up & Play

The Warriors won their best home game this season, beating the Phoenix Suns 124-112. But, it will take a lot more than just one great win into 28 losses already this season. Not everyone was healthy at the start off and new players were coming in not knowing how to play Nellie's way. We all know Warriors are fastbreak, three-pointed team, and last year was a great example of that. Yes they didn't made it to the playoffs, but they finished with a great winning record.

Different team, different results this season. It's kind of frustrating right now watching them lose to games that they should win. Most of the time when they lose, its by a close margin. If they get a dominate low post player-Chris Bosh, Jermaine O'Neil, or Dwight Howard- I'm certain that they can push to the playoffs next season. This team has a lot of talent offensivly, but their defense is suffering because they only have probably about 3 defensive minded players; Terioff, Andris Bedrins, and Stephen Jackson. The height advantage is really killing them since they have a lot of guards. Just one more low-post star that can run up and down the court, and were good to go. I don't know if its too late for a late entrance to the playoffs this season, but another season playing together, they will get comfortable with the new people around. If they do all of this before trade deadline, my predictions:
08-09 record: 40-42
09-10 record:51-31

NFL History Has Been Made!

Steelers have did it. They have won their franchise's 6th Superbowl title. It wasn't pretty as they had to come back and win against the Arizona Cardinals. I predicted that the Steelers were going to beat the Cards cause they have #1 defense in the league. But man, didn't think it was going to be that close of a game. In the first 3 quarters of the game, they shutdown Larry Fitzgerald and the Cardinals offense. At the beginning of the 4th quarter it was 20-7, Steelers lead. I thought the Steelers defense was going to finish the game by intercepting and sacking Kurt Warner. Instead, the Warner's offensive line hold up and protected Warner very well and they scored a Larry Fitzgerald TD.

20-14, Cardinals trailing by 6. The Cardinals defense, a defense no one really heard about this year, was phenomenal in the 4th quarter. After a great special teams punt, the defense hold the Steelers half a distance to the goal line. On 3 and 10, a holding was called against the Steelers center in their own end zone. By rule, a holding in the end zone is consider a safety. So the Cards put up 2 more points and get the ball back. They weren't done, yet. Kurt Warner threw a 40+ yard TD to none other than Larry Fitzgerald. The Steelers defense let the middle lane open for Fitzgerald, giving him a big break to the end zone for 6. It was the Cardinals biggest play of the game.

23-20, Cardinals lead by 3. Steelers basically final drive of the game. They needed to reach close enough to tie the game to go into overtime, which never happened in a Superbowl match up ever. Ben Roethlesbuerger lead his team down to their own 46. As time is still winding down, Ben threw one to wide open Santonio Holmes. He ran to the 7 yard line. The thought of even tying it was gone. The Steelers were gonna close this game. First attempt to the end zone, Ben threw to Holmes just a tad high at left corner. But on 2nd and goal, Ben threw to Holmes again and this time he caught it over 3 Cardinals at the right corner of the end zone. He tip-toed it and was a controversial call. The refs got the call right, his toes was in the end zone and he had position. Game ended from a fumble by Kurt Warner, who look like his arm was in motion but he didn't have position of the ball as he try to throw it away.

It was a great game all-in-all. Didn't think it would be that intense and that close of a game. Arizona really show themselves even though they lost. MVP is Santonio Holmes, who I think really deserved to win it cause he had to get reach up and grab that ball and make sure he's in bounds. Now that it's over, we shall see Draft Day and see who gets who. Hopefully Raiders go for a Wide Receiver like Santonio Holmes.
