NCAA Tournament

Today starts the NCAA tournament also known as March Madness. The games started today at noonish. Starting today people all over the country are fixing there brackets or relishing in the fact that they haven't gotten any wrong yet(like me :D). So far no real upsets but the tournament is still young so who knows what will happen. Any way I'm hopin my picks come through and if anyone wants to leave me a pick they think will win let me know even though I'm bettin most people who will read this wont know anything about the tournament other than the fact that it has started.

Oscars

This sunday as many of you probablly know is the Oscars. So i am making my pics along with backup pics for the big 5(best picture,best actor,best actress,best supporting actor,best supporting actress). Alright I'll start with best supporting actress: My pic to win is Penelope Cruz for Vicky Christina Barcelona, now i havnt seen this movie so i don't exactly know how good she is in it but she has a lot of buzz, and my back up pic is Marisa Tomai for the wrestler, i have seen the wrestler (big shock i know) and she was very good in that movie and even though she has like absolutly no buzz she deserves to win and i think the academy will agree with me if Penelope Cruz doesn't win. Next i will do best supporting actor: In my opinion this is the most obvious pic of them all it wil be Heath Ledger for Batman, I've seen the movie i love the movie he was phenominal in the movie and theres no way hes not going to win everyone knows he is going to win but if by some miracle he doesnt then i personally feel Robert Downey jr. should win for Tropic Thunder (funny as hell movie) because he was hilarious and was good too but unfortunatlly he will be overlooked and if by some miracle heath doesnt win it will go to Philip Seymore Hoffman for Doubt. Next on my list is best actress: I think the winner for best actress will be Kate Winslett for the reader, I havnt seen this movie yet but ive heard it and she are both great, and if she doesnt win i think it will go to Meryl Strrep for doubt becasue she also is great in that movie ive heard again another movie i havnt seen. Next up is best actor: I feel this is another obvious pic being the comeback story of Mickey Rourke (which is my pic) for the Wrestler he was awsome in that movie it was a great movie and deserves to win the oscar for it, he played that washed up has been wrestler so well the guy just tryin to make it big one more time, he was great in that movie, my backup pic is Sean Penn for Milk, i havnt seen this movie but after Mickey Rourke he is the nexyt best bet to win. Finnaly my pic for best picture: I think Slumdog Millionare will win, again i havnt seen this movie but its been talked about as a great movie that has the most oscar hype to it, my back up pic is The Reader, i ahvnt seen this movie but it has been talke dabout alot as a good one that could win if Slumdog doesnt. Those are my Oscar pics i ahvn't seen many of the oscar movies maybe i'l try to do that with my time off from school this week. If any of you out there are going to see a movie that has an oscar nomination i strongly recomend the Wrestler there are some parts of nudity as Marisa Tomai plays a stripper but it realy captures what wrestlers go through and it makes you take a second look at that business(which i love very much) and there are some sad points that make you feel for him i dont want to give too much away but i think people should go see the Wreswtler. If any one has seen any oscar movie s please let me know what you thought and if you think i should try to go see it.

Pro Bowl

TOday in fact right now is the pro bowl. The pro bowl is where all the best players in the nfl this season come together in hawaii for one final game. It seems like it would be fun to go too. Maybe you couldnt get tickets to the superbowl so you end up going to the pro bowl instead.. Thats not too bad go to hawaii and watch the best football players play in one final game. Sure neither team is going to give it there all but its still entertaining. It could be the fact that its one final game. It's starting now so im going to go watch it.

Biggest Day in Football

Today is the superbowl. It's between the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Today is the day where america will gain 10 pounds from all the food they eat. Pizza places make millions of dolars probablly in tips alone, nevermind from the actual cost of pizzas. Today is the one day that rivals New Years Eve for the most party's. I am not currentlly going to any party's or having anyone over but i don't mind if people come over if anyone wants to. About 100 million people watch the superbowl and why not. It's got it all football, good music at halftime, and 3million dollar commercials that some people only watch the superbowl for. Hey to each his own right? If they want to watch the superbowl for commercials let them. All this fun starts at about 6 tonight and i'm looking forward to it.

Super Bowl

Today is the day we find out who will be joining bruce springsteen in the super bowl. Theres the arizona cardinals the philadelphia eagles the baltimore ravens and the pittsburgh steelers. two of these teams will be in the superbowl. I dont care who it is its just fun to think that the superbowl is only two weeks away. Two weeks away from the biggest game of the year. Two weeks away from 30million dollar commercials. Two weeks away from the first time bruce springsteen will have a tv concert. It's just cool to relize that in two weks the superbowl will be upon us. The sad thing though is in two weeks and one day the football season will be over.

NEW YEARS EVE

Todays thoughts are about new years eve. I find it odd that on just one particular night if you dont stay up untill midnight it's considered going to bed early. I understand the concept of staying up till midnight its a big thing and its fun to do. But why is it that if three days before new years eve you stay up till say 11:30 it's ok to say you had a late night but if you do it on new years eve you went to bed early. I dont really know what it is about this day but the line between late and early has moved back. The other thing i dont get is the people who stay up till midnight to watch the ball drop and then go right to bed after that. I feel if your gonna stay up till midnight why not go at least another half hour. If you stayed up till midnight chances are your not working or going to school or anything the next morning so would it kill you to stay up at least an extra half hour. I don't maybe i feel this way cuz on new years i stay up till like 2 but whatever. This was kind of a rant about new years and i appologize for that but it's just peculiar about the time scenario thats all.

School Spirit

On my mind today is a little different but its about school spirit. In my school there are three kinds of people there Theres people with school spirit, theres the people who say they have school spirit but really dont ,and then theres the people who dont have school spirit and makes fun of the people who do have school spirit. For a whie i thought i was in the second group but then i became a senoir and i dont know why but my mentality on school spirit changed. I wrote the letters 09 on my face for our pep rally wrote my freinds last name on my forehead and let my friend outline my facial hair which im still not sure why i did. Then at the thanksgiving game i painted my chest as an A. Then at the super bowl game (ehich was like the coldest day ever) I did it again. So for some reason once you hit senoir year something in you changes. I dont know what it is but its there and it changes. I mean for all four years at the pep rally you like too shout your graduating class like 09 and for three years at the pep rally you like to shout freshmen suck(which is kinda true sometimes) but people never realy get into spirit week. Then your senoir year comes and that changes and i dont know what maid me think about this today (could have ben Jess's comment on my myspace picture which i still dont understand) but I just thought I would show how people change for the better when they become senoirs kind of a reason to stay for all four years and graduate. Im sorry that this was kind of a rant but thats just the way I was thinking of it today.
