What am I going to do with my life?

Realistically, I have no idea what I'm going to do when I finally graduate college. I'm lucky enough to have a family that lives in different parts of the world and who actually want to see me. (weird, I know)

The plan is to go to Germany and visit my brother in late June (I think. According to my mom, we already got the tickets, so whatever), he gave me the advice to travel before I get bogged down by the world. It's true though. There really isn't a market out there for me; the newspaper industry is almost dead and to be able to write on the internet you have to have experience in the multi-media world...

I've been on the radio a few times, does that count?

So my overall plan is to visit My brother in Germany. It should be amazing. He said I could probably get a job in the military writing for the paper or working with the radio stations on base (All my brothers either were or are still in the military). While that would be a good job, I don't think I would want it. I would rather do it on my own. It's just one of those things. When I get back to America (hopefully right before July 4th), I'm going to visit my other brother, who is stationed in North Carolina. What's also sick about that is the fact that my sister lives down there as well. So I would finally be able to actually hang out with my siblings, for really, the first time ever. Aside from my sister, I can finally get to know my brothers. My third brother lives in Michigan, but he is going to visit me during my graduation.

So while I'm traveling around, I might as well bring my resume

Why the hell not?

What else do I have to lose?

It's not like I have a job anyway...

But I'm terrified of the real world. If it's anything like I've seen in the countless episodes of Law and Order: SVU that I've watched, I sure as hell just wanna stay in my mom's basement and eat Pizza Rolls.

Oh well, I'm sure Detective Stabler will protect me. Actually, I'd rather have Detective Benson do it...

Ohhhh Olivia.....

Hmmm.....maybe I'll visit my friend who lives in Nashville, too....

First Round of the NBA Playoffs, Stevie Johnson and more

The NBA playoffs are right around the corner and it's going to be an awesome time. The following are my picks for the first round

The East-

#1 Chicago Bulls vs. #8 Indiana Pacers

Derek Rose is going to show why he is the sure-fire MVP and sweep the Pacers, 4-0.

#2 Miami Heat vs. #7 Philadelphia 76ers

The Heat swept the 76ers in the regular season and I see no reason for them to not do it in the playoffs. 4-0

#3 Boston Celtics vs. #6 New York Knicks

The Celtics swept the Knicks in the regular season, but they have fallen apart here at the end of the season. The trade that sent Kendrick Perkins to the Thunder has really hurt them. They did, however, beat the Knicks in the very last game of the season. So that being said, they'll still beat the Knicks. 4-1

#4 Orlando Magic vs. #5 Atlanta Hawks

The Hawks won the season series 3-1 but, this is the playoffs. Dwight Howard isn't just going to let D. Rose run away with the MVP title that easily and I think Jason Richardson and Gilbert Arenas are too much for Joe Johnson and co. to handle. The Magic are going to win this series. 4-2

The West-

#1 San Antonio Spurs vs. #8 Memphis Grizzlies

This match up is interesting because the Grizzlies have actually played the Spurs tough this season by splitting the season series, 2-2. What is interesting is if Ginobli is okay to play because of his hyper-extended elbow. But, I'm sure everything is fine and the Spurs won't disappoint. Spurs win, 4-1.

#2 Los Angeles Lakers vs. #7 New Orleans Hornets

The Lakers as of late haven't been playing up to their championship standards. Andrew Bynum will play this weekend so it should help. The Lakers are going to win this series because they just have more talent than the Hornets. 4-1.

#3 Dallas Mavericks vs. #6 Portland Trailblazers

It seems like every year the Mavs have a championship-caliber team, but they never live up to the billing. Even though I love Jason Kidd, him and the rest of Dallas are on their last legs because most of the team is 30+. I feel like the Mavs are overrated. The Blazers, on the other hand, are a tough team and can give any one fits, plus, Gerald Wallace is a beast. I think this is going to be an upset. 4-2.

#4 Oklahoma City Thunder vs. #5 Denver Nuggets

This is probably the toughest series to pick. The Thunder are the dark-horse pick to come out to the West, but the Nuggets have been playing great basketball since the 'Melo trade. Denver has been spreading the offense out and playing great defense. This is the series that will probably go to game 7. The Thunder are going to win this series, purely because of Kevin Durant's scoring ability and Kendrick Perkin's presence. 4-3

My boy Stevie Johnson was in March 21st fashion issue of ESPN The Magazine, showing off his threads. Johnson was joined by the likes of the Heat's Chris Bosh, Texas Rangers' C.J Wilson among others. I like how the Buffalo Bills finally have someone that is getting some face-time in the media. According to one of Johnson's tweets, he wants to stay a Bill for life. Hopefully the Bills finally do something intelligent and keep the guy. He's going to be a huge star. Here's the picture of Stevie in the article...

So I was watching Raw on Monday night, and I watched Edge announce his retirement. Crazy. He started

wrestling right when I started watching wrestling. He said he had to retire because of his injuries and his body can't take it anymore. It's understandable; he was in some of the most dangerous matches in wrestling history (i.e. TLC matches). Just to see someone retire that I watched growing up though, is showing how times are changing. #Gettingold.

What the hell happened at Wrestlemania?

Did I really watch that?

Yeah, I did.

Now what the hell was that?

I learned a few things from watching it though:

Alberto Del Rio can't wrestle. At all.

Santino Marella is probably the funniest person in the WWE.

They don't push Kofi Kingston or John Morrison enough.

Randy Orton and CM Punk can actually put up good matches and should continue their rivalry.

Stone Cold Steve Austin is still badass

Undertaker and Triple H continue to show why they are two of the greatest wrestlers of all-time. Even with an anti-climatic ending.

Trish Stratus is still hot and can still wrestle and I didn't know Snooki could move like that, outside of a bed.

The Rock is still the man.

Even with god on his side, people hate John Cena. But not as much as they hate The Miz.

The thing that really confuses me is the fact that wrestling continues to shove these huge, muscle-headed wrestlers that only know 4 moves in our faces, but, they don't push someone like John Morrison, who can actually move.

The United States title and Intercontinental titles aren't what they used to be. When the US title was in WCW, it was a stepping stone, much like the IC title. Now-a-days, they are just throwing it every where. If they want it to actually mean something again, they could actually have a REAL up-and-coming wrestler fight for it. Raw is actually doing something good with Sheamus holding the belt, but, they need to have Morrison go after it. Smackdown is okay with the guy from The Core or whatever holding the belt. Kingston can still go after it, but they could have a third party go after it as well. Maybe like a triple threat match.

John Cena needs to take a break. He's been in the spot light too long and people are getting stale of his routine. Hulk Hogan had this problem, The Rock had this problem, and the Undertaker had this problem. What happened? They turned heel and had fresh story lines and different people were pushed because of it. Now I'm not saying turn Cena into a heel, I'm just saying have him take a step back and look at what his character is. Really? The Rock said it best when he said "We went from Austin 3:16 to If You Smell What The Rock is Cooking to You Can't See Me." I understand Cena makes a shit-ton of money for the business because little kids buy every fruity-pebble shirt out there, but, come on. Atleast have him do a few different moves. His matches go the same way, he is winning in the beginning, starts getting his ass beat, then he comes out of no where with his finisher.

Randy Orton and CM Punk work well together. I feel like if they continued their storyline, it could work out really well. They could add another twist to it somehow.

I didn't like how the Triple H and Undertaker match ended. I was actually on the edge of my seat for the entire thing, until the end. How does The Undertaker win by submission? It was amazing when Triple H did the Tombstone pile driver and everyone thought that's how it would end. The Undertaker's streak would end by his own move. Nope. He kicked out. Then for The Undertaker to come back, amazing. But to end it with a submission move? It should of ended with Taker doing the Pedigree, just sayin.

The Rock came back and beat the hell out of John Cena and The Miz, saving the match in the process. It was a terrible match. Just awful. Cena used his four-move limit and The Miz was just taking it. If The Rock were to come back, I feel like it would be a good twist if he was the Raw GM.

One last problem, they talk too much. I get it. You need promos to build story lines, but it's ridiculous. There is only like 4 matches each episodes. There has to be atleast 6 or 7.
