2014 Bucket List - #21 Write a Haiku a Day For a Week

I took on this task this year because I thought it would be an interesting challenge to expand my writing ability, and the creativity in my writing. After completing the week, it was indeed fun as you would be surprised not just how tough expressing yourself through haiku's are, but writing one a day for an entire week. What if one did this for every day of the year?

Regardless, below is the final product. Not the greatest collection of poetry - actually not even close, but I tried. And most importantly, I had fun with it. Check it out, if you dare. #21 completed. Boom.

Monday

Monday Night Football

Jets don't pass and just run, run

Deep in awfulness.

Tuesday

A well deserved laugh

Learning from my student staff

Solid mentorship.

Wednesday

Hands up don't shoot

A system clearly broken

What is going on?

Thursday

Time of loneliness -

Comes vulnerability,

Surely, stay with Him.

Friday

Sharp preperation

produces awesome results

or we hope it does.

Saturday

Long hours and no sleep

For successful event day,

No better feeling.

Sunday

Exhaustion sets in

One full day to recover

Back at it again.

DP Review of the Alternate Knicks Orange Jersey

One of the good aspects about having a blog and being truthful and honest about it, is the hindsight thought process it provides. DP devotees already know how much I love my New York Knicks, and how excited I was about their new jerseys last year. It was a new look that was desperately needed ( DP Review On Knicks New Uniforms ). In reviewing those jerseys last year, I had the following comments in regards to then-rumors regarding the addition of an alternative orange jersey for the Knicks and overall NBA changes to the Christmas Day special jerseys: "As long as we do not add an "alternative jersey" (I read rumors of an orange one - woof!) (and the league-wide Spanish jerseys are fine). And please, please - PLEASE - let's finally do away with the awful green jerseys we feel the need to wear on Christmas and St. Patrick's day! Pretty please!"

Quick Ponder: Daily Armor

Imagine, if we can see the dents and scratches, the smashes and chaos, on the daily armor, each of us put on. Just imagine.

Predictions and Wild Guesses for the 2024 MLB Season

Brett Davis-USA TODAY Sports After an off-season where the Los Angeles Dodgers spent the equivalent of a nation's GDP to acquire talent - I'm not sure if that's factual, but it felt like it - the 2024 MLB Season is finally here. Sure, this Yankees fan is not just annoyed with the big spending of the Dodgers, but yeah, secretly envious as well. That used to be us, man! Regardless, baseball is back on the docket. While my beloved New York Knicks have my attention and all of my heart, including what has been a fun March Madness period for men's and women's basketball, it's soothing to have baseball back. I can't explain what it is, but baseball just does that for me. Nonetheless, let's do what we do in this post every year. Here are my wacky predictions and wild guesses for the 2024 season. --- STANDINGS (WINS) AL EAST Orioles - 93 Yankees - 90 Blue Jays - 85 Red Sox - 82 Rays - 80 AL CENTRAL Twins - 88 Tigers - 86 Guardians - 81 Royals - 70 White Sox -
