This is who you choose?

    AskMen.com posted their annual list of the 49 most influential men of 2010. The top spot on this list was awarded to John Stewert of the Daily show on Comedy Central. What were these people thinking voting for a man who makes fun of all world problems as if they can be fixed by the snap of a finger. The people who voted on AskMen.com in my opinion don't know what makes a man influential.
    I mean this man is comedian, he influences people to not take important matters seriously! He has no respect for people who run this country and bust their butts to help fix the problems it has. This pick was way off of what an influential man should be. An influential man should be someone who fixes things not makes them worst. An influential man is someone who is successful in family and business. Men who can push past adversity and be strong when all others are not.
    I mean no one can be the best man. Mark Zuckerberg the inventor of Facebook. He helped bring people who live thousands of miles away together. He helped people meet new friends. He did many good things, but Facebook is also a sight of bullying and is the common grounds for cyberbullies. Kanye West teaches men how to be confident and makes great music. His fatal flaw is that he is extremely cocky. Lebron James is the best player in the NBA. He is one of the richest men in sports. He is loved by the whole city of Miami. Whats wrong with him? He is looked at as one of the biggest traitors in the United States.
    When you really look at it I guess nobody can be the most influential man. Everyone has a role model for some reason. I guess John Stewert influences a lot of men.

Bucket List

So i currently have a bucket list with about 33 things on it. I need about 67 more to reach my goal so any suggestions will do.

The first game

As i opened the new can of tennis balls i heard the sound of the compressed air hissing as it is released. I can smell the unique smell of the fuzz on the balls. I shake as nerves take over my body. I could feel the smootheness of the new tennis racquets handle. I have not been this nervous in a long time. I see the parents as they chatter among themselves, readying for the match to begin. Its a hot day so i taste salt as i lick my lips in anticipation for the first serve. Its the last first game i would ever play.

The Crotch Shot Heard Around the World

On thursday October 7, 2010 the Bolivian president Evo Morales apologized for what has now been called the "Soccer foul seen around the world". A knee to the groin to a player on the team opposite of him was caught on tape and became a lot more viral than hoped for by President Morales. The man he kneed in the groin Gustavo Daniel Cartagena  aparantley kicked the president down and kicked him while he was on the ground.  "Again, I ask for forgiveness. Sport is integration, but later I realized it was a trap," Morales said. The incident happened in game between a team put together by Morales and a squad of city workers from La Paz, the capital of Bolivia. The "trap" as it was called by President Morales happened early in the game thats how he knew it was intentional. When you look at this story you wonder what this guy was thinking. Why would a President or anyone of that high of stature do what he did? Did he think no one would remember? This is not the first big political embaressment in history, but it is memorable because of the unsportsmanship of this President. President Morales did apologize for his actions, but it will forever haunt him politicaly. It will be held over his head in elections to come. I think people need to realize no matter who you are a President or a manager at McDonalds you have to watch your actions. People will always remember you for something. Don't you want it to be something great?
