So many words, so many feelings. With the recent plot to blow up American bound planes throughout the Atlantic Ocean, the world is once again altered due to terrorism. Security is tight, governments are uneasy, international intelligence is in high gear and people are worried. One thing is for sure our world has changed.

Despite the history of terrorism going back to the 19th century, post 9/11 put things in perspective.

Certain things that some how, some way, cannot be put into words.

Terrorism...our world has changed.

Trying to Stay Mellow on Melo and his "Brand"

(Courtesy: NYTimes/Richard Perry) Alright, fire up the rant machine after this one folks.  "What's understood doesn't need to be spoken upon" #DestiNY #TheFutureIsNow — Carmelo Anthony (@carmeloanthony) June 26, 2015 Carmelo Anthony really hasn't been winning any points with me lately. None. I've been indifferent on him even as the years have gone on and the Knicks fanbase continues to split on supporting him. Lately, I've been creeping over to the negative side. For me, a big deciding factor was when he decided to play in the Knicks game in London and in the meaningless All-Star Game to continue "building his brand", and thus delaying his needed knee surgery to the point of affecting his return for this upcoming 15-16 season.
