In his song, Run DMC personifies the shoes to a best friend status. Through lyrics like “Now/Me and my Adidas do the illest things/We like to stomp out pimps with diamond rings,”…
The difference between baseball and football, that is a great question, first, they are not even spelled the same. The only thing I can see that is similar is that they both have the word “ball” in the spelling. Baseball seems to make sense by the spelling; it is a game with the involvement of bases. Football, by the spelling seems to be a game that involves your feet, which we all know is not the case, but seems ironic because most games are won by a field goal. A field goal is when the team…
Dingers For Days “It’s a great night for baseball, the sun is going down, there is a slight breeze but it’s not strong enough to affect what the baseball is going to do.

Jeremiah Marchesani is a student and friend who I have previously witten about. I wrote an argumenative piece on why he should run the zombie run. It was a groundbreaking and earth shattering article that brought him to tears as he read it. In fact it was so successful at convincing him he agreed to run it at that very moment. But recently something very peculiar occured. I was badgering Jeremy about the race and showing him my T-shirt that had the logo for the race on it. And I said “Hey…
agree was his best season ever. He played for a team that was labeled as the finest ever put together. This squad would help Babe succeeded higher than anyone thought he could. He would lead his team to a World Championship title, he hit sixty home runs, and received an American League pennant for his team (“Babe Ruth” Wikipedia).
