Short Film of the Week: The Black Hole

Kind of an interesting pick for this week. A man discovers a sheet of paper that creates a black hole, into which he can reach through anything. It's kind of fun to think about what you might be able to do with a black hole, so I thought it would be a cool video to share. Enjoy.

Funny Urinating in Public Trick

This is a funny dude who likes to get in trouble. He fakes like he's peeing right in front of cops, but when they come up to confront him they notice he just has a water bottle he's squirting on the ground. I just thought it was kind of a funny little deal to share.

Randy Moss Signs with Niners

One of my favorite NFL players of all-time is back in the league officially today. Randy Moss signed a one year deal with the San Francisco 49ers today. I think this is a huge signing for the Niners, especially with the year they had last year. Reports were that Moss looked "like the old Randy" in his tryouts with the team. If San Fran can sign Alex Smith back they are gonna be a team to look out for. I think Jim Harbaugh is one of the best coaches in the NFL, and I think they are gonna be a pretty kick ass team this year. Look for that downfield passing game with verticle threats like Moss, Vernon Davis, and Michael Crabtree. I wish the best of luck to Randy and the Niners this season.

2012 NCAA Mens Tournament

There is your 2012 March Madness NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament schedule. It should be a fun tournament to watch as there are a lot of great teams. Unfortunately my Gophers didn't make it to the tournament, but I do have one team to cheer for. Gotta go with the home team and cheer for the South Dakota State Jackrabbits. They have a pretty good team, including Nate Wolters who has been dominant for the Jacks this year. However, in the first round they face off against Baylor, who I think could be a possible Final Four team this year. There is no slowing down their athleticism, and I'm pretty sure there isn't a player near South Dakota that can keep up with Baylor forward Quincy Acy.

My picks for the Final Four are a bit interesting this year. Of course, I gotta go with Kentucky in the South. They are just too athletic and can score on you from the inside and outside. They are gonna be tough to stop. Interestingly, I'm gonna go with another SEC team in the West. I really think Florida is a great team, and I thought they got ripped off with just a 7 seed in the tourney. I think it will come down to a matchup between Mizzou and the Gators for that section of the bracket. In the East, I'm going with another upset, picking the Cincinnati Bearcats. I don't know why I'm picking them, but I thought they looked like a great in their conference tournament, and it is gonna be tough to stop Yancy Gates down there in the post. And lastly, I'm gonna take North Carolina in the Midwest. I think Harrison Barnes is the best player in college basketball, and he is gonna take that team far. Also look out for Tyler Zeller who could be huge in their performances over the next few weekends.

I'm not a huge college basketball fan, but from the little bit that I watch, I have to offer some kind of prediction. This is what I got right here, and hopefully I'm not too big of a goon with these picks. Good luck to everyone in the tournament, it's gotta feel great just to be there.

Ricky Rubio Out for Season

The worst day of the Wolves season was yesterday when it was announced that Ricky Rubio would be out for the season. He tore his left ACL late in Sunday's game against the Lakers in a collision with Kobe Bryant. This was absolutely one of the worst things that could happen for not only the Wolves, but Ricky as well. We know it is tough for anyone to come back from this kind of injury, but at such a young age, this is especially difficult to see happen to Ricky Rubio. I hope he is able to bounce back next season, and he is very confident in himself:

Ricky Rubio ‏ @rickyrubio9

Ok,I got injured in thebest moment of my career, but honestly, 2day im happy thanks to all the support Ive received.I'll come back stronger

It's awesome to see that he has positive thoughts about his return next season. Last night the Wolves played the most pathetic game I think I've ever seen. Obviously the absence of Rubio got to them, but hopefully that isn't a big deal in the future. Look for a trade soon bringing a point guard to Minnesota. I think Beasley is probably on his way out... #sucky.

Minnesota is the place where great athletes come to get injured I've decided. Some of the best players from each of the big three teams in Minneapolis have some awful injuries. Justin Morneau, former AL MVP, is likely to miss a lot/all of the season for the Twins. Adrian Peterson tore his ACL last season and may have a difficult comeback to the Vikings this year as well. And now Rubio is in trouble... I just hope that all these guys get healthy and back into sports. Good luck Ricky!

Spring Break

Whoo! Spring Break! Unfortunately I went the other way (<----) to South Dakota, where I will be working for a week. That means I probably won't be updating the blog a ton, but that doesn't really matter, because no one reads it anyway! #awesome #happyspringbreak

The Pro Letarians - Hello Forever

Here is an awesome mixtape that everyone should download. If you just like rap music then this is a great mixtape. I've never heard anything about this group, but I decided I'd take a listen and I love it. The rapper on these tracks is a guy going by the name of Jupiter Jim. JJ is bring it on this album for sure. He sounds just like Kanye and as a real similar flow. I really suggest downloading this free mixtape, and look for some more of their stuff. I'm about to do that right now...
