Blog Post # I don't remember

I know the general gist of the Trayvon Martin case. I do not really know too many specifics and I have not really looked into the case much. Most of the info I have gotten from it has been from hearing the TV on MSNBC from the other room. I know that the kid was walking home from the store and some guy shot and killed him. The shooter claims it was in self defense and that Trayvon had assaulted him. It is a huge story and is receiving a lot of attention but that's about where the end of my knowledge about it is.

I do not really like to comment on things that I do not really know about. Because my breadth of knowledge on this subject is comparatively limited I would rather not delve too deep into my opinion about it for fear of appearing ignorant, uninformed, etc... From the view that I have taken, I believe the Martin family's side of the story, and disagree with the shooter's side. Going out on a limb without actual factual basis, I would say that the shooter dude shot him, and then was like 'oh crap, I either A) become a demon-worshiping warlock and perform some voodoo witchcraft black magic necromancy and bring this guy back to life or B) claim I did this in self defense and make up a story about it'. On the other hand, if he really did just shoot Treyvon, without any self defense involved, what was the reason for it? Did he just not like the way he looked or what? It was probably based on his past experiences and he was probably really tied to his past, so those previous experiences forced him to act dramatically to the situation, unforunately in a terrible manner.

Even as Barcelona FC, the kings of Catalonia, face AC Milan in the round of 16, they are going to win the 2011-2012 Uefa Champions League hands down. Barcelona is, for lack of want to use better wording, an 'unfair' team. It is personally my favorite but even compared to their Spanish rivals, Real Madrid, they are stacked. Valdes is a great goal keeper; Puyol, Pique, Dani Alves, and Abidal form a nearly impenetrable wall in the defense; Adriano, Iniesta, and Xavi (who is probably the greatest midfield playmaker in the world) orchestrate the games, playing pin point passes every time; and then is Barcelona's terror-instigators. Sanchez, Villa, and, of course, the best player in the world Lionel Messi. Those three, in particular Messi, render most team's defenses utterly useless. No other team has the skill and ability for total football that Barcelona does. Sure Real Madrid's Ronaldo, Ozil, and Benzema and Bayern Munchen's Robben, Gomez, and Ribery are superb world-class players, but they simply are not as good as Barca is. If they are 9.8s then Barcelona is their 10. Not even the English giants in Chelsea nor the Italian maestros in AC Milan, can stand up to Barca. And other managers agree. There is simply no stopping them. Yes, the matches will be tough, but if all of the teams play to 100%, Barca's 100% is higher than everyone else's.

Relapse- Eminem
If being twisted and crazy was anyone's job,it would be Eminem's. This album is not for the faint of heart. It contains very offensive language and the subject matter/rhymes are beyond inappropriate. Singing most of the lyrics in school might get you in alot of trouble, so I cannot write them here. And yet, it is a fantastic album. From the melodic (yet insanely twisted) "Stay Wide Awake" to the absolutely maniacle (yet fantastic) "Insane", the album reaches out past the taboo, as Eminem has done on many occasions. All of the songs are expertly crafted in terms of rhyming and flow as Eminem has a reputation for being crazy and can thus rhyme with any line he wants to. Eminem takes shots at multiple people in the album, again as he always, including Christopher Reeves, Kim Kardashian, Linsday Lohan, Jessica Simpson, John Mayer, his own mom, his stepfather, his ex-wife. And yet even through the various songs in which Eminem brutally murders several people (like "3 am" and "Stay Wide Awake") and the other songs where Eminem talks about his previous drug addiction (like "Must be the Ganja" and "Deja Vu") comes a song which can actually be played on the radio; "Beautiful". Even through the great and masterfully crafted twisted darkness of the other songs, Eminem is also able to create an equally well crafted song with a true message, in which he says "Don't let anyone tell you you aint beautiful". It is really a great album, and it contains NO WITCHCRAFT. So you won't be burned at the stake for listening to it... you witch. It is an album which touches back on the things that made Eminem famous; back to the songs like "Kill You", "Kim", and "Just Lose It" with there crazy murder themes and just outright funny insults on celeberties. It shows the true fans what Eminem still is despite his newer, more mainstream, songs like "Lighters" and the slightly annoyingly non-Eminem-like song "Not Afraid". Thats $3 dollars and a 100 year warranty. It holds 20,000 times its weight in liquid. Look if you don't buy this he will kill you, or I will break your collarbones with a wrench. KONY 2012

The thing that annoys me the most is when people to me to "chill" or to "relax" when I am not hype or overly excited. I might be slightly annoyed but when you to me to chill when I do not need to you do absolutely nothing productive. You tell me to stop being something that I am not, and in the process you would just make me more annoyed. What is this witchcraft? Why are you thinking that way? Do you want me to be more angry even when you are telling me to not be while I am not? What if this is some kind of trick that they are trying to pull off? Are they trying to drive me into madness with this contradicting instructions? I am I on the other side of sanity? You are not invited. How can one not be something, be told not to be it, and then suddenly be it? Nurse help! This straight jacket is crooked.... Ok, sorry. I am back you witchcraft practicer. I apologize for my tangent, but seriously, do not tell me to relax when I am already relaxed, or the next thing that is going to happen is that you'll probably have 7 or 95 crossbow bolts driven through your knee.

The best footballer (soccer player) of all time is Lionel Messi. Sure the great classics like Pele, Maradona, Cryuff, Best, Jarzinho, Cantona, Koeman, and Zico were all fantastic player. But nowadays when you watch Messi you simply have to be amazed. No one can do it the way he does. Cristiano Ronaldo dances around the ball, waits for a defensive mistake, and beats one defender. Messi simply runs at top speed forward, sliding the ball this way and that with his left foot between 1 2 3 4 5 6 defenders and then has the composer to chip the goalie, or fake the first shot and slot it on the inside corner. When Messi gets the ball and there are less than 4 defenders infront him there is usually only ever one outcome: he will score. No one can stop him. He has an all time scoring/game record of nearly 1.5, in a sport where anything anywhere near .5 makes you a national hero. At only 24 Messi still isn't even in his soccer prime (27 years old) and has at minimum 8 years still to play competitively in top flight top league teams.

The best place to get food in the area around us is the sonic by LA Fitness and Facenda-Whiticker bowling ally. It is relatively close to most places in Blue Bell, and is around alot of hang out places (including most of the party houses). I also heard that they will not serve witchcraft practicers so it is a perfectly safe place to host giraffe neck fight bouts. They serve everything from ice cream shakes to hot fast food. It is all delicious, though maybe slightly unhealthy, and kind of cheap. Forget the unhealthy part though because there is a gym, LA Fitness, almost right there. There is also no problem parking because the parking lot is huge and it is also close to Shop Rite and who doesn't love just chilling at ShopRite? They also sell crossbows and greatswords in the back if you have the money and an Ancient Weapons Holding License, but those are easy to come by as you can purchase them at the bowling ally arcade for like 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 tickets. Happy hunting.
