Movie reviews

http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2012/06/28/seth-mcfarlane-ted-is-raunchy-comedy-at-its-best/
i agree with everything. especially the part about how Ted's raunchy behavior is the only thing keeping the movie from being a regular romantic comedy or a "buddy" movie.

I agree with this because he stated the same question i had about why it took sol long for seth
McFarlane took so long to make his own movie.

This guy is wrong. I laughed during the whole movie. this guy thought about it to much. I think it reached all of my expectations.

Summer plans

This summer all I'm going to do is play basketball and work. I can't wait for July because that when a lot of our tournaments are.

My team is going to a lot of places like Memphis, Dallas, Houston, and Las vegas. It will be really fun and will really help me out going against the nations top talent.

I really want to get a job. i'm tired of being broke all the time. and it's not fair for my mom to always pay for me to go places.

I'm 16 years old and some things happened to me this past week that made me realize that I need to start holding myself accountable for my actions.
This year i've really slacked around at school. too I'm going to change.

Anyway back to the summer... I already kind of work with my uncle doing landscaping. we just did a project together and i really liked it.

I might look  into that for college. the job pays really good but. it's out of my uncles pocket because the company he works for doesn't hire anyone under the age of 18 because the hours can be way too long for someone in school.

So some days he brings me along if its a project that he is working on alone.

That's why i want to get a real job with real hours. because all I do is play basketball. I don't really hangout with my friends that much in the summer because they play for different AAU teams and they go to tournaments almost every weekend.

I have trouble trusting people so i don't really make new friends. I'm a quite person unless i trust you then I always talk. it's just the way I am.

anyway I keep getting off subject.  this class is col i like to write too. I just have horrible sense of time management so I barely do homework. I also got ADD so I'm always sidetracked. I take pills for it. but i usually forget to take them.

I'm going off on a random tangent again.

i usually do that when i'm bored or i am doing something i like, like right now i feel like writing so my fingers are typing everything that pops up in my head. POPOPOP

just like that. anyway back to my summer.. i want a job because my house is always noisy and if I could live at my AAU facility i would. but I can't so getting a job will take some time out of my day.

that way i wont be sitting at home like a bum.
i plan to gain a lot of weight this summer. i'm sooooo sick of being skinny. my head is really big and since im so skinny i look like a lollipop.. That's not really attractive.

anyway.. this summer I'm going to be at roosevelt lifting everyday. I'm 6 feet 8 inches, and I keep bouncing from 195- 200lbs. in reality I should be 225lbs. that's what my goal is for the summer. I always eat alot so but I dont gain weight. I eat about three servings every night at dinner.

So I got a lot of protein stuff that Ill drink 3 times a day every day and after every time i lift or have a skills workout. i'm going to work alot on my game too.

I've gotten really good at scoring. I learned how to use my length to get a shot over and around defenders too. I'm working on my legs everyday so i can get up over my defender.

i don't really have hops right now. but thats what the jumprope and squats, and leg lifts are for right? i want to be the best I can be for next season.

It'll be My junior year and i have to get noticed this summer and next season, or it will be harsd to get a scholarship from a good school.

Al of my coaches believe I can go D1 so i'm going to prove them right. I'm going to make it.
Thats pretty much it for my summer plans.It's not a lot but I think its good enough.

I'll probably have things that we'll do with my family but I'm not sure right now. i'll just go day by day.

NBA 2K13

This game is almost flawless. 2K Sports have once again managed to create a game that puts shame all Sports sims to shame.

with only a couple of changes from last years release, 2K12 still fails in comparison to this years game.

this years graphics are great. although there can be room for improvement. I say this because although the Arenas, fans and most players are almost picture life like, some players look like their faces were smashed and smeared.

the game has also made changes to the presentation. for example, they put Jay-Z (Hip-Hop music mogul) in charge of the music, which is great if your into hip-hop. if not, sorry fro your luck.

the music icon and minor owner of the Brooklyn Nets chose classics to play,(such as himself, Nas, Rakim, Maroon 5, etc). to play during in game loading times and the main menus, but after a while it gets a little annoying making you wish you could turn them off. 

The creators have also perfected certain players signature moves, such as kevin Durant's silky smooth jump shot, Dirk's awkward fallaway shot, and they have also finally perfected Kobe Bryant's shot. compared to last years embarrassing failed attempt to imitate the black mambas fade away jumper.

they have eve add the little animations players do. such as Kevin Durant raising his index finger after a big three, Steve Novack doing his Aaron Rodgers touchdown celebration every time he makes a three, etc.

all those are reasons that this game was great.

My least favorite part of the game lies within the my player mode of the game. which is where i spend 90% of my 2k13 playing. for one, no matter how good you do in the rising stars challenge. you are still the worst player in the league.

you begin your career, not able to make a shot, are the worst ball handler aswell. you cant even be counted on to make a wide open layup. 

one thing that the creators should do to better the my player experience is to increase the players in at least two or three attributes to make them a better player. instead of making them below average in all attributes.

there are certain player types you can choose for your player to star out as,  such as athletic, scorer, back to basket, slashing, distributor, or all around. they still don't do much to give your player an advantage. 

another thing changed in the my player mode is VC which is virtual currency that your player earns by accomplishing goals during games or drills. you use this to purchase points to add to your attributes to make your player better. the crazy part is you have to pay for accessories, such ass calf sleeves, or arm sleeves. 

whats even crazier about it is they're so expensive. you only earn about 90vc in a game when you start out. and accesories cost about 1,000vc.

the final annoying part for me is  when your player finally gets good, the game gets too easy. your player starts to fill the stat book up with crazy numbers. and it gets boring.

thats all i have for the game. this review seems really negative and the game is pretty bad now that i think about it ut i still love this game. thats why I give this game 3.5-5 stars.

lucky the Leprechaun forgot too rub his luck of the irish off on the celtics wednesday night.

Instead he may have been in on it with the brooklyn nets. Because all of their shots found a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!

Deron Williams, exploded with 29 points and 12 assists. with the way he definitely has made a deal with the little green man.

Kobe tears achillies tendon friday night. His future with the Laker's Franchise is now the hot topic in the league.

Will the Black Mamba (kobe bryant)
Get the boot this july?

Kobe's salray for next year is $30.5 million.

If Lakers do cut Bryant, they will be able to save $80 million in luxury tax.

The probability of cutting Kobe is low because then other trams under salary cap can bid for him and he wouldnt sell for a high profit.

Chris Mcmahon

About 5 years ago, Chris McMahon, head coach for Saydel High school boys basketball team read about an opening for the coaching job for varsity basketball at TRHS. He thought to himself,
"I would love to coach at roosevelt, I've got a good resume, and its my home school". He is now working his 4th year at TRHS.

Chris McMahon just finished his fourth season as head coach of the Roosevelt Basketball.

Both of McMahons parents were teachers and his dad was a football coach aswell. McMahon explained that his parents were the main reason he had decided to become a coach and teacher.

"Coaching and teaching came natural for me'. Said Mcmahon. ' my parents really rubbed off on me".

When coaching McMahon doesn't just concentrate on teaching the game of basketball. McMahon tries his best to be a positive role model for the boys.

McMahon tries to incorperate as much team bonding time as he can. Spending countless hours trying to create a family type environment in the team.

McMahon loves the game and tries his best to share that with his players. He also teaches them about life and becoming better men.

"I love coaching. I get to teach young men to become better men, I get to do it everyday. Thats what makes it perfect for me" says McMahon.


Among his least favorite thing about coaching is having to talk too much at the end of the season banquet.

Mcmahon believes it should be more about the boys and not so much about the coaches.

The thing he dislikes the most is cutting players during tryouts.

"All the boys that tryout work their tails off. Unfortunatley i can only take 16 on my roster". SAid McMahon.

McMahon's favorite moment throughout his 12 years as a coach was making it to state this year for the 2012-2013 season.

It was especially sweet for him because he got to do it coaching his home team.

He also said it was special because he got to do it with a group of young men who are seniors this year, and have been with him since he started coaching four years ago when they were freshman.

McMahon is pleased with how he has done as a coach and cant wait for next season to do even better.
