Jumping out the Window

I AM JUMPING OUT THE WINDOW!!!! Why?....
1st Tis the season for exams and papers and I have one more final left. However I will be spending 99% of my holiday break studying and working on paper. Tis the season and the life of a graduate student.

I AM JUMPING OUT THE WINDOW...Tiger Woods, thank you Media for now making the world's greatest golfer stop playing golf. Yeah I know he cheated (No excuses) but that doesnt mean we are entitled to know about to every time he or his family move to the left or the right. I mean would you want the whole world knowing your business? I am a fan of Tiger Woods as he is the greatest golfer in the world. And he is what brought the sport into the 21st Century. Without Tiger the game of golf would never have made it as mainstream as it is today. So while Tiger is losing endorsements, he can get those back and he can get more but for him to do that...HE HAS TO PLAY THE GAME! And for everyone who is hating Tiger now, he did wrong, he asked for forgiveness and it is really our place to judge him?

I AM JUMPING OUT THE WINDOW....My oldest niece having a boyfriend and I find out over Facebook. Now true she is almost 16 and she is more like my little sister than a niece but still...so of course I call the house but her mom answered so I had blew up my niece's spot

However the one bright spot was seeing the Princess and Frog. Disney did a good job putting the movie together with a great voice cast. The plot was solid, and the music was good. Overall the most pleasing thing of the movie was how they showed New Orleans back in the day and highlighted the influence of Jazz music and captured the culture of New Orleans.

On a side note, I apologize for the delay in postings, had some technical issues with the internet connection and had to finish up the semester. Enjoy your holiday season. Another posting will coming very soon!

Cheaters

As I am sure you all know, one of the world's greatest golfers (and one of my golf idols) has recently fell from media grace to media hell. Yes friends, Tiger Woods now joins the ranks of former presidents, athletes, governors, senators, as one of the many who have cheated on their spouse. Yes its sad but true...however, lets keep this in perspective, how many men and WOMEN (yes women do cheat) have done this before? Honestly, is cheating on your spouse breaking news? Not that I am condoning cheating (I don't), but people do make mistakes and do the wrong the thing. But every time something like this happens, the news and media act like it has never happened before. Then the media proceeds to flood us and damn near shoves this story down our throats. Hell, I am watching only Discovery and History Channels so that I can avoid this "monumental news" (sarcasm). I truly do feel sorry for Tiger and his family. While most of the world can handle their infidelities privately and work things out with their spouses behind close doors; while those that are famous have a media parade dancing around them watching their every movement. I don't know where exactly we the public and the media thought it was acceptable to know every personal detail of the Woods family and how they handle this issue. But it is really none of our business that includes you too Wendy Williams and Perez Hilton. And not only for Tiger Woods, but the other famous people out there, they deserve to have their privacy respected. How would you feel if you were in their position? But I digress....

CHEATERS....wrong right? Well to put it simply yes it is wrong. But lets see, why did Tiger cheat exactly? Was there something else that occurred in his marriage? Who knows? But yeah Bad Tiger, you shouldn't have cheated. But before women start championing poor Elin as a victim; let us remember that women do cheat as well. So before we go on a men hating tirade, women do cheat, maybe they don't get caught as often, but they cheat too. At the end of the day, cheating is wrong, and there may be a reason that it happened, maybe she wasn't caring for him or taking care of his needs? Or maybe Tiger is just a selfish jerk and wanted to bang a hot cocktail waitress or something? I don't know. But then again I don't care. I just hope Tiger can put this behind him and get back to being the greatest golfer in the world and setting more records for the next generation of golfers to compete for....

As always...Work like everything depends on you, Pray like everything depends on God.
