Sunday Sundown Rundown - 5/19/13

3 Up

1. Warm Weather - I love summer. And with the weather now becoming consistent with sixty degree-plus days here in New York City, you just can't beat it. Especially, when softball is involved.

2. Miguel Cabrera - Three home runs tonight against the Rangers. The man is just special.

3. Yahoo - Purchasing Tumblr is risky, but it is good to see Google's rival trying to revitalize itself in the blogging and social media world.

3 Down

1. Tornadoes - The devastation that has ripped through Texas and Oklahoma is heartbreaking. Mother nature really can be cruel at times.

2. New York Knicks Season - Well, it's all over. I'll address this later this week for sure. Still hasn't truly settled in as of yet.

3. Nicki Minaj - That performance during the Billboard Music Awards (if you can call it that) was a disgrace to real Hip Hop. I miss the days when performances and songs were about attitude, lyrics, and expression rather than doing something to "trend".

Would You Rather: Questions 121-130

This edition of "Would You Rather" is credited to the NBA Would You Rather NBA Account on Instagram ( See Here ). Adding to the fun, this edition (and possibly future ones) are all NBA basketball questions.  121. Who would you rather have on your favorite NBA team - Giannis Antetokounpo or James Harden?  Seeing how I'm a lifelong suffering Knicks fan, the thought of any of these guys in blue and orange is hard to believe. With that said, I'm taking the Greek Freak for this reason - I enjoy watching him play a bit more. Nothing against Harden who is amazing as well, but at times, the ball sticks and that isn't always fun. Plus, I feel like we haven't yet seen a finished Giannis. 122. Would you rather have Giannis Antetokounpo with no driving ability or James Harden with no Three-Point shooting ability?  This is definitely a weird and unique one, but I'll take Harden. Giannis without his strength doesn't offer much. However, if Harden's d...

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 2/15/26

Sunday Sundown Rundown returns! Going forward, I'll be sharing thoughts and ponderings in a format of three simple thoughts, opposed to the former "3 Up, 3 Down" of the past.   Mother of Savannah Guthrie I haven't been closely following the developments. I've checked in here and there, mostly hoping that this horrific story comes to an end. I simply continue to sympathize with concern, as not only are the emotions of having one's mother kidnapped for ransom more than enough to bear, but to have it played out publicly, before the nation, helplessly, is an unfathomable reality to understand. And of course, as all things in this culture, the story has been manipulated, pulled apart, and coerced into political representations that are not true, or at the very worst, worthy of discussion considering that someone's life - a person's mother - is at stake.  Winter Olympics It's not my favorite. Summer Olympics are my jam. Nonetheless, this Winter Olympics...

Quick Ponder: No Matter What

"You can give  everything to something, and no matter what, it is always gonna do what it's gonna do." I feel that these days. I get it.
