Raptors Lose to Knicks by 31

The Raptors suffered a horrible 31 point loss to the Knicks on Sunday. New York's Amare Stoudemire lead his team with 31 points and the Knicks made 12 of 27 three-point attempts. “We didn’t do a very good job running them off the three-point line,” said Triano. “We just didn’t do a very good job covering them on the perimeter.” The Knick's put up 33 points, 12 of which were three-pointers, in the first quarter. Toronto got within 7 points  in the fourth quarter but never strung together enough defensive stops to really make a run.
The Knicks have won nine of 10 and seven straight on the road. Jerryd Bayless made five three-pointers and led Toronto with 23 points while Andrea Bargnani had a tough shooting day (8-19 from the floor) and had 22.
In my opinion, the Raptor's need to work on their defense a lot more in practice. They seem like their out there to score point for themselves. They don't seem to care about playing defence. The only player who actually hustled back on defence was Jose Calderon. The Raptor should not expect to win until they start helping Calderon out on defence.

Embrace Life - always wear your seat belt

The video starts with a family who appears to be playing charades. The father is pretending to drive a car while his wife and daughter laugh watching. Everyones having a good time, until the father takes his eyes of the imaginary road. When he turns back and looks at the imagenary road he makes a strange face as if he were about to be hit by something. The mother and daughter rush to the fathers aid. The daughter wraps her arms around the fathers waist and the mother wraps her arms over and under his shoulders.

Opinion: Don't Follow Your Dream

In this article, Harrison Solow talks about how todays generation thinks that they can get somewhere in life by just having a dream, and not working hard. "Everywhere you turn today, our children are urged to 'follow your dream.' It seems like a harmless, even inspiring bromide to motivate children to achievement." She mentions how those who achieved excellence in their fields did not just have a dream. They got up at 4 a.m. to practice on parallel bars or had to forgo other desirable activities and paths in order to get in six hours of violin practice a day, or stayed off the several million absurd writing advice blogs with their overheated little cliques that dispense useless regurgitated maxims and empty praise and decide to actually confront their thoughts on a page. She says that even our universities are filled with people who have dreams but no plans, desires but no talent, talent but no work ethic. Her final advise to all the dreamers is: Don't follow your dream. Do what it takes to earn it. To achieve it. To be worthy of it. Because if you don't, it will never, ever, really be yours.
At first I thought that this article was kind of depressing. I thought that she was trying to say "Dont bother working hard, because your dreams won't come true." As I read on I discovered that she was trying to say that your dream won't work for you. The dream is the goal and you have to work hard to achieve it.

Very Funny Pepsi Commercial

The video starts with a shot of a oriental monastary. A small caucasian boy with a backpack approaches the front of the monastary and is let in by a monk. His head is shaved and he begins to learn the way of the monk. At first he struggles to complete his training and becomes disappointed by himself. Now the boy is much older and he is displaying his skills to the other monks. He karate chops bricks, breaks boards with his foot, and is even able to do several back hand springs. When the boy is finished displaying his skills, the monks each raise a celebratory can of Pepsi. The boy is lost as to what is going on so he grabs a can himself. in unison, the monks open the Pepsi and drink it together. The boy notices a mark on all of the monks' heads. Then he looks down at the Pepsi can and sees that it displays the same mark. So he puts two and two togetther and crushes the can with his head, thereby aquiring the same mark as the rest of the monks. When this is done all of the monks rush towards the boy and congradulate him.
I thought it was kind of weird to see a small white boy back packing across China all by himself. It would have made more sense if he were droped off there by someone because he was an orphan or something.
