Sunday Sundown Rundown - 7/12/15

3 Up 

1. Boy Studies in Streets of Philippines - This gets the nod at the number one position as it is just truly inspiring. The photo captured a young boy studying in the streets of the Philippines is truly inspiring. Once you read his backstory, you are even more in awe of this young man. 

2. South Carolina - Though it only took decades, the state of South Carolina finally realized that flying the Confederate flag is indeed a bad thing. Imagine, that, huh? 

3. Summer - I just love summer. And this past week, the times and the weather here in the Northeast, provided plenty of beach time. Can't. Beat. That. 

3 Down

1. Cosby - Things are not looking good for Bill Cosby. And to be quite honest, the more we come to find out, the more testimonies and stories that build against him, the more facts that are revealed, the more Cosby looks guilty. 

2. Jared/Subway - Wow. From inspirational weight loss figure, to...umm, child pornography? WHAT?! I know this one is not over, but that is something you DO NOT want attached to you. No recovery from that. 

3. Ariana Grande - Licking donuts in a donut shop was childish. Very childish. But come on, saying you "hate" Americans and America? It's time to grow up Ariana. Grow up!

WWE Wrestlemania XL Review: "I absolutely loved this Wrestlemania"

It's easy to get caught up and become a prisoner of the moment. Especially in today's world where the latest moment is ostracized, super-analyzed, and hyperbolized - it's very much the clickbait, social media, microwave society we live in.  Yet, even after acknowledging that (as well as my Tribal Chief, of course), I still come to this feeling that Wrestlemania XL is one of the best Wrestlemania's, ever.  Yes, ever!  I don't need Triple H's metrics and benchmarks to influence me. No, no, no! In terms of hype, storylines, payoffs, match quality, and just overall fun - this entire weekend was amazing.  I'm slightly skewed in my preference as well. This was my son's first Wrestlemania as a pro wrestling fan. Having him at my side cheering on his favorites, getting caught up in the drama, and even crying at the end of the night because his Tribal Chief lost to "that no good Cody" added to the overall appreciation of the event.  So yeah, I have some

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!"
