Why Tiger Why ??



Am I the only one that is bothered by the woods circus I love tiger the man use to be the king and I looked up to him so much I don’t even know a lot about golf except that is very fun to hit them balls but I love what woods use to represent not only for black people but for anybody that ever saw him as a role model with values he has overcome so much in his life growing up to get to the top. so I ask why tiger why?. hearing about his affairs was a huge disappointment I never taught he would be one of those professional athletes woods have always been portrayed as the family man that always would do the right thing so when the news came out I think more backs where turned against this man so quick that he just went into a temporarily depression I know I’m one of them that will never look at him with the same respect again, one of our times all greatest who betrayed his family and a hole world of followers the fact that he managed to keep this under the radar for so long makes me wonder about the rest of the legends out there like roger feederer tennis phenom could he be capable of “driving” like woods ? !

When fame strikes we know the temptations that comes with it specially for mega superstar but there are some you just never picture would be able to do the things they do and woods was one of those and rather than coming out telling his side of the story like the rest of his 10 ladies friends !! he choose to go in hiding , all I can say to him is “honesty is the best policy” it did not work for Clinton it won’t work for you either so come out and talk to us Mr. Woods!!!

Super Bowl Phenom or not ??


it’s been called the greatest sporting event known to man watched in every household around the world but is the super bowl all that most Americans say it is?, when I came over to America 3 years ago I had little knowledge about the sport I taught I was silly really because is o similar to rugby the only difference is that they wear pads over here and have a few different rules. nothing to be hipping about right as foreigner you would think that but unless you actually gain some true knowledge about the sport and understand what it’s all about or mean to the people over here in the united states speaking badly about it will most likely get you enemies.

sure we watch it overseas at 2-3 am for some but it’s not the same thing and most people don’t even know what’s going on when they turn on there TV’s they just like the fact that its super bowl and want to see what all the fuss is about, for me it was like that until I came over to America I’ve seen two super bowls my first one was Giants vs. new England but I never sat true long enough to enjoy it and the second time was Sunday when the saint played colts and it totally blew my mind away I sat there actually found myself enjoying the game and as I looked around me at the twenty people sitting and screaming, it hit me this is their sport the fact that football was invented in this country makes it even more special to them and I could see why the event has a way of bringing people together man or women even if you don’t like the sport or know what is going on it just makes you want to be around when it goes down. So Super Bowl Phenom or not?? yes to me it really is and specially when underdogs go and win it makes it even more special.

in media super bowl is projected as the biggest sporting event on earth over 30 miliion people tune in to watch these players represent themself and thier state to them this is a battle that many of them refue to lose maurice jones drew is a greate example of a person that never taught he would make it to the NFL, but after a lifetime of hard work he got his jearsey and according to him after all he sacruficed to get there was well worth it. so i guess dream do come true in a sport where youre life is a stake everyday you step on the field when the saints made that final touch down to secure the titel they did not only carry a hole state on there shoulders they entered a stadium to prove that dreams do come true in every aspect you just gotta workhard enough for it to make sure you get yours.

Gaming on Different levels


So today in class we where discussing a video game called reap lay where the player wins by raping as many girls he can when I first read the article I was very disturbed to hear that people where actually playing a game like this obviously japan is a completely different place than America with different culture and believes but I would think that the human mindset between right and wrong would be little bit similar I mean who in their right mind would think of playing a game like this let along making it, to me these kind of virtual games are degrading and is something that can give people ideas because let’s face it there are people out there that cannot separate reality from fantasy what they see is what they want to try.
They say sex sells and obviously the companies over there are making millions of these games but it’s just really sick and twisted in the way they are doing it to me not very appealing in my eyes, many reviews about the games have been made true the Internet about how degrading to women this is but the industry keep producing more of these games without any taught on how it may look to the outside world.


i found this video where this guy brakes down how things work wit these games and gives his point of view on it.



another question that keep coming in to my mind is that is there an age limit on these games or can anybody play it ! over here in America we play grand theft auto and just like when you are in that game playing you take character like any other game and to be honest the shooting and car boosting is really fun to do, but here comes the difference i know that what I'm doing at that point is just all kicks and fun but can most people you end up reading about or hearing about in the new say the same ? or are they just going to believe that they can go out do what they just experienced in a video game? scary to think that video games can have these influence on people and push them to that point where they think they are in the actual game.
