Obama's Bracket

Every year around this time college basketball hosts the national championship tournament. It is called March Madness. So far there have been a lot of surprising upsets thus far. Especially the game in which the overall number one seed lost to a "cinderella" team. And, surprisingly, Cornell, the first Ivy League school to make it this far since princeton in I believe 1988 its progressing strongly. A cool thing about this tournament is that President Obama is participating in a bracket. A bracket is a prediction of which teams will advance ultimately to the championship game. Obama has consistently participated in such events for quite some time. It is not that surprising due to the fact that he played basketball in school. It is however getting a lot of attention. He played it safe for the most part picking 1 and 2 seeds advancing to the elite eight, what can you expect he has to play it safe, he is the president! He is doing pretty well with his choices thus far, however with the many upsets that have occurred im sure he wont win his competition.

Spring Break

I cant wait, spring break is sooooooo close. It's going to be a blast. And this year it is 17 days long!!!!! I cant believe it. The first week of my break is going to be spent partying in DR (Dominican Republic). I'm going with a bunch of friends this time for a change. For the most part I only go on vacation with my family. I know I am going to have a great time there. I cant wait to get rid of this terrible weather, besides this weekend, that we have had. I want to sit on the beach with a nice drink in my hand just chilling, relaxing, and maybe sleeping. Then when I get home I want to go paintballing "and maybe, god willing, meet some cute girls. And they can meet my motha. And hopefully they will get along because no one fights with my motha." LOL u have to watch that video or you wont understand that. However the only bad thing is this week coming up is going to be the longest week of my entire life.

2012

Personally, I think it is ridiculous that people actually belive that the world is coming to an end. There has been an increased amount of paranoid people around me. I hear it all the time now. In physics we were learning about planetary motion and the rest of the galaxies. I am aware of all of the disasters occuring like the recent earthquake in Haiti, but the world is not coming to an end for millions of years! The earth is attracted to the sun and moves closer and closer to it every second. However this movement is so slight that it can barely even be measured yearly. The only way that the world will really come to an end is when the Sun becomes a black hole. A black hole forms when a star (like the sun) becomes so massive by attracting to much mass that it collapses due to its own immense gravity. Till then, which is sooooooooo long from now i am not worried about the world's sudden end. So what if there are alot of disasters occuring? I bet that the people of Italy thought the worl was coming to an end when Mt. Vesuvius erupted. Even recently the Tsunami and earthquake and everything else, they all occur in different times during history. There is no reason for a hysteria.
