Raindrops. Drip. Drip. Drip. Clouds, gray and hiding any sign of sunlight. It looks miserable and cold but it matches my mood so it doesn 't bother me. I need to get out, It 's horrible to be stuck in this room. I want to be out in the rain. Peeling myself away from the window, I can the floor for my hoodie and Converse. "Where could they be?" I mutter, kicking clothes around. My toe clips the edge of a shoe hidden underneath a pile of clothes. I freeze as the pain pulses from my foot. Angrily,…

and an action figure? I went to Walmart to compare two different toys, Barbie dolls and G.I. Joe action figures to see the differences and the possible effects that it could have on children. Upon entering Walmart, I noticed that there was a lack of ethnic diversity in both the customers and the employees. A majority of the people in the store were Caucasian, and from what I could tell, the customers…

The smell of the old town was always pleasant to Victoria Dubois' nose. He insisted there was one living in town, and so Vic arranged to make the collection herself. She had a very refined palate thanks to being a century old, give or take a few years, although just by looking at the young woman it was impossible to tell. The alabaster paleness of her skin that hadn't felt the kiss of sunlight in so many decades was likely the only give away to her condition. However, there was a significant…

An Astronomical Athlete Every success story ever chronicled started with a dream, a huge gargantuan dream that seemed entirely unobtainable. The 1996 bronze medal Olympian, Floyd “Money” Mayweather, sought the title of the greatest professional boxer of all time. He achieved his goal by keeping an unblemished record of forty-nine fights with forty-nine wins, twenty-six by way of knockout, and zero losses (“Floyd Mayweather Jr..”). My own dreams are of no less stature in fact, I intend to…

Eight months after the release of The Fray’s second album, the band released a music video for “You Found Me.” This song could have several meanings depending on different points of views. Many interpretations of the lyrics in this song…

long road. If he had ever said no would he still be alive? The vietnam war was a brutal and hard war.More missing men everyday. so during his unboxing time Muhammad made money by speaking out. Ali’s first fight back was against heavyweight champion Joe Frazier disappointingly Ali could not pull out and lost by unanimous decision. But that didn’t slow him down a bit. Muhammad won his battle with court and was able to box anywhere again. After ten fights through different countries it came down to…

My thoughts on Mayweather vs McGregor So my initial reaction to this fight was that Conor had absolutely zero chance but then the press tour happened and I realize how much bigger Conor was than Floyd. I knew there was going to be a size difference but it was way more than I thought. So after the world tour I realized Conor is going to have a huge size advantage which he has had in most of his fights where he has overpowered all but one of his opponents. (That one being Nate Diaz) As the build…
