Basketball Awards

So a friend of mine gave me this idea to give my own awards for the season, and here it goes:
Rookie of the year: Kevin Durant
This guy can straight out play. He lead all rookies in points, 3rd or so in assists, and 1st in 3 pointers made. He also was 4th in rebounding and [...]

Watching basketball without a tv

If I wanted to watch a basketball playoff game in my room, I wouldn’t be able to because I have a tv without cable. It is a tv that gets no channels, not just the cable channels. Therefore, I decided to go to the library to work on some homework. As I wrote my essay, [...]

1st Semester

Well, first semester is almost over, and honestly, it was nothing like I would expect it to be. I always imagined having a roommate just like me where we could play video games and watch sports. I imagined getting good grades and excelling in all of my classes. I even imagined going to every sport [...]

Isomutation

Ever feel like being so isolated not even your own pillow recognizes you?
A room you once called your home no longer sees you in the same light
Your books fade away
As their infinite wisdom dissipates into nothingness
It’s a feeling like no other
Isolation is
With a world that continues to beat
While your passion and familiarity with everything
everyone
is forgotten
A time comes when [...]

2 Week Rule

The 2 Week Rule is a really good rule to follow in case you’re so mad at something or just want to murder someone. Say you get frustrated from a bad test score or someone you can’t stand won’t leave you alone. All you have to do is think: Will I be mad about this in 2 [...]

The “US” in USA

Ask anyone in the world: What country is comprised of the smartest individuals? Most would probably say England because of their sophistication and pride. Some might say Japan or China because of the technology they have created for the rest of the world. I can guarantee you one thing: no one would think we are [...]

The Library

Since when does the word “quiet” mean to be loud and obnoxious? As I entered the library, I noticed how each floor had a sign that said: This floor is for quiet study only. Maybe no one can read english anymore, but every time I enter the library, people are talking on their cell phones, [...]

Privacy

Privacy  (prī’və-sē): the quality or condition of being secluded from the PRESENCE OR VIEW OF OTHERS. I learned today the true meaning of privacy, which I believe is a right, not a privilege. 
Side Note: Have you ever wondered that the word “privacy” is like a combination of private + vacancy? 
I live in a room with another individual who [...]

Stupid Sports Writers

I read an article today where this one sports writer discussed the NFL draft and how in the past, certain teams chose a WR that have done nothing and pointed out how they could have chosen pro bowler WR’s instead. For example, he discussed how the browns chose Quincy Morgan in the 2nd round, and [...]

Verdict

I get these weird visions seconds before I’m about to go to sleep at night, and this vision was more like the plot of a book, so here it goes:
Tyler Hart grew up in a regular neighborhood, normal friends, normal life. He was never the smartest, tallest, or most musically gifted; he was in a [...]
