well...hello

Hey, everyone. I know it's been a long time since I wrote a new entry to my blog. The topics I will like to cover a bunch of topics that include news worthy items.
I want start off by sharing what I've done this past month; which isn't much. I did enjoy downtown Chicago on a cold weekend. We took the train to get there and pretty much walked throughout the downtown. I saw Grant park, Buckingham fountain, Millennium Park,the outside of City Hall,famous Chicago Theater, and plenty of other buildings.

The politics part isn't much but wanted to state the effects of No Child Left Behind act (saw this on ESPN). Basically, it eliminates P.E. and in some cases recess due to funding. I understand that children need to learn the basics but at the same time need to learn how to take care of their bodies. I mean, seriously, our health care system is already taxed. Do we want the children of now and the future have health problems that can be avoided by exercise?

The other topic was The National Tea Party. I was confused because I had no idea that they were doing this. On tax day, having rallies across the nation protesting our taxes and comparing to The Boston Tea Party; the latter part is ridiculous. There are so many things historically wrong to compare it to that, so I won't even start.

My fantasy b-ball team came in 5th. Not a shock since I lost a quarter of my team to injuries. The Cubs and Tigers are off to good starts, can't say the same about the Pistons and Red Wings aren't disappointing. The NFL draft is coming, finally, after all the hype. Can't wait until the commish says "With the 1st pick of the draft the Lions select....".

My next blog will be coming soon. It will have a movie review and a response to a fellow blogger about friends. 'Til then keep reading.
