Boxing Then, Now And To Come

Some of the greatest boxers of my time are Mike Tyson, Evander holyinfield, Oscar DeLa Hoya and Roy Jones. These boxing athletics all were great to watch. They all possess great and unique skill. Boxing is a brutal sport. I believe a boxers career has a limited time span, especially when the victories turn to defeat. Few boxers if any retire from their boxing careers on a high. I believe their ego's lead them to believe that they just cant be beat until it happens. Then they start to evaluate if there's anything else they wish to accomplish. Most time they just want to cap out their careers on a win. Who wouldn't want to retire from boxing on a victorious victory?

Today's talents in boxing is not that impressive. There's just a lot of boxers talking about how good they are, but barley backing it up when there in the ring. If you ask me their better at promoting their boxing match than actually boxing. There are few names in the boxing sport worth mentioning. Winky Wright and Floyd Mayweather these to guys are incredible to watch. I would say that they are appealing to watch by fans.

People want to see something spectacular and when it happens sport fans have something to talk about. Boxing is a great sport not to mention an old sport, with history beyond many imagination. Everyone has a favorite in the boxing sport. Someone you like to see. I must say their is not a lot of boxers fighting these days that are worth watching. A funny thing is that as time pass new talents arrive. So it is certain fans will be raving again in the future.

Music And Video's Played Today

The music and video's played on television or the radio seems to be geared in the same direction. Sex, drugs and violence appear to be the focus of theses new videos and songs. Another focal point would be the material items such as Cars, jewelry, high dollar designer clothes and so fort. In my opinion there is rare talent being push through the airwaves of the radio or being shown on the television. Every entertainer is drowning in wealth according to the music and videos being played. The sad things is the younger audience that listen and watch these videos believe what they hear and see, some even idolize these fiction lifestyles. It is rare today that an artist will attempt to create material around something political or informative, giving another perspective to look at.

One Holiday Gone And Another On The Way

Christmas is around the corner, so parents and avid shoppers were taking advantage of the black Friday discounts, to get a head start on purchasing some of the very cool Christmas gifts at a discount price. Some shoppers are so dedicated to getting great deals that they will sleep outside the store, to be first in line when the store opens. As we approach the Christmas holidays we will hear of more crazy and bizarre behaviors to acquire popular items or discounts. In the last hours when the popular items will be impossible to score, because they will be sold out, we will see record breaking prices offered by people willing to pay double or triple of the original price. In some cases I have seen record breaking prices paid to fulfill ones gift list. The holiday season gets a bit crazy sometimes. I wonder what will be the most crazy and bizarre story of this Christmas holiday?

Deadly Mistake

Three gentlemen celebrating the last night of there friend being a single man were shot by undercover cops, in what appears to be a miss understanding of some sort. The tragic thing was that the young man who were to get married the following day died, and the other two gentlemen were seriously wounded. The stunner to this story is the gentlemen did not have any firearms at all. The threat to the officers appears to be when one of the officer were stuck by the car the gentlemen were driving. This story has a couple of angles to look at. The officers thought that the young men had a weapon of some sort. The gentleman probably did not know the officers were cops. Which would probably explain them striking the officer,it could of been out of fear of being attack by an opposing group. If you were in a club all night and saw these officers not knowing they were undercover and there were some word exchange. Also in addition they were following you. I think anyone may of reacted in the same manner. I also know that a police officer job is extremely dangerous. In this case I think situations like these are tragic. Two gentlemen probably will suffer not just physical scars, but emotional scars from that event. The young lady who were to get married lost a love one. She also will suffer scars, and according to the article the young man had two children. Many people wonder what will be the outcome of this story, because a lot of people believe that there is a different law and way of handling police officers mistakes.

Advances Of Digital Photography

Digital photography has really gotten popular in these last few years. It has made taking pictures more fun and enjoyable for many people. Before, you had to purchase film and if you were a novice in photography you may have purchased the wrong one. Through the advances of digital photography you just need a flash card. Flash cards are capable of holding an enormous amount of pictures. One of the beautiful things about pictures being stored on the flash card is that you can load it straight on your PC, either from the card or your digital camera. Through advances in technology digital camera have grown in popularity. Seems like everyone is buying slowly. I personally enjoy observing people buying into the digital photography. It is now much easier to share pictures among friends and families. There is no more dropping off pictures to be developed. You just load it on to your PC and e-mail away, it's that simple now. Progress always comes with set backs and the set back here is that photo shop business is feeling the impact of the success of this new technology. So you are seeing less of these photo stores today.

A Short stay in Phoenix

My stay in Phoenix , Arizona was great. I had a very good time. We saw many interesting sites. We hiked, we visited the Grand Canyon and Sedona. I enjoyed swimming in the pool at various places. We catched up with old friends. Shared a delicious Thanksgiving dinner with auntie Margret and her son. The plane trip back to NewYork was not so bad. The seating arrangement was kind of tight, so it was hard to get relaxed. Also the landing had me a little nervous. Otherwise the flight was smooth not a lot of turbulance. I slept the whole way back, because there was not much to do. The movie featured on the flight did not look that interesting so I slept through it.
