Be not afraid of greatness

"Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em"

No Choice!

There comes a time in a man's life where he has to take responsibility because he has to, and not because he wants to. Situations seem to connive to get the best out you, knowing you have the skills and abilities, and the potential to be one of history's best. As a man you can either run away or own up to it, knowing it will be harder than ever but the rewards might be worth it. Our history, movies, books and comics are full of these stories - stories that show that indeed with "greater power comes greater responsibilities" and that "some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them." I hope we can learn from these and pass them to the next generation so they will surpass us.

Remember, Remember... the 7th of April

I always consider seven (7) special but it isn't the number itself but the events surrounding it. I love the 7th day of April for it is a day of new beginnings. The future will be much brighter because of what happened today. This song sums it all up.

Talk about beating the buzzer...

I watched this NBA game today between the Denver Nuggets and the Utah Jazz. I wasn't routing for anyone since I just wanted to see an entertaining game, and I got one! This particular buzzer-beating play by Anthony Carter of Nuggets at the end of the half is certainly the play of the day.


I recorded the play, reviewed it to see if the ball was really out of his hands before the buzzer sounded (or the red lights went off in the backboard), and they were right to count it. Nice work!
