Favorite Music F3

This blog is supposed to be about my favorite music genre. But I already wrote three hundred words on this topic. I went in depth on how much I truly enjoyed my experiences and both the Toby Keith concert and the Zac Brown Band concert this summer. And I really do not want to go in to detail on that again. The reason that I have to rewrite this blog is because my previous blog regarding music mysteriously went missing. That’s slightly strange if you ask me. And this might sound strange, but since writing that previous blog involving music, some of my feelings towards my favorite genre have changed. The major reason for this is due to the ever changing seasons of the year. We are now entering the winter season of the year, and that means that it’s time for basketball. And that means that it’s time to establish a warm up cd, and in the basketball world, Jason Aldean and Zac Brown just don’t get the job done in terms of preparing me for a basketball competition. I’m more into the rap genre now, as it seems to be just a better all-around fit for pregame situations. My warm up cd starts off with some Young Jeezy, then goes to a little bit of Drake, before switching over to Kanye and Jay-Z. Now all of these classic artists are getting kind of old as the years go on, therefore young guns Machine Gun Kelly has become a popular artist and he has made his way onto the basketball cd as well. And then we got Skrillex. Now I can’t completely explain to you what exactly what Skrillex is, but I like it. It’s loud, the bass is excellent and the words are kept to a minimum. Good stuff.

Choice- NBA preview

For my choice blog this week I am choosing to write a preview of the NBA. Now I know that the season has already begun, but most teams still have 70 plus games to play, so I will discuss my predictions. First, the Knicks have only improved, which I talked about in a previous blog, and after recording his worst field goal percentage last year, I believe that Carmelo Anthony will lead the league in points per game, seeing that many people believe that he is the best player in the league without a ring that is up in age as he is. So my eastern conference goes like this in terms of playoffs: New York takes the 1 seed, Miami with the 2, Chicago 3, Indiana 4, Brooklyn 5, Philadelphia 6, Boston 7 and Milwaukee just barely edging out Cleveland for the final spot. Knicks advance, they play the Nets who upset the Pacers. Miami plays Chicago, who they are upset by, due to what I believe could be over confidence. And now that LeBron has a ring, the want isn’t as strong.  Then the Knicks beat the Nets and the Bulls to advance to the finals.

The western conference is dominated by the Thunder, who will record the league’s best record. The two seed goes to the Lakers, the three to the Spurs, 4^th to the Clippers, 5^th to the Nuggets, 6^th the Grizzly’s, 7^th the Rockets and 8^th the T-Wolves.  Oklahoma, Lakers advance as do the Grizz who upset the Spurs, and the Nuggets who upset the Clippers. Oklahoma beats Memphis, and Denver upsets LA. The Cinderella story ends as Oklahoma wins the conference finals. They go on to beat the Knicks in 6 games.

Kevin Durant wins a title and MVP, both a first, and certainly not the last for him. Defensive player also goes to a OKC player, Serge Ibaka.  Most improved to Ty Lawson, coach to George Karl and rookie of the year to Anthony Davis. All the awards go to the western conference, but let’s say both conferences give out awards. East MVP goes to Carmelo Anthony, defensive player to LeBron, most improved to Roy Hibbert, rookie to Dion Waiters and coach to Mike Woodson.  There you have it.

Fav Movies

In this blog, I will be writing about my top three favorite movies of all time. Now I am part of a fully functioning movie club, so as one can imagine, I see many movies.  Let’s start with number three. This spot goes to a recent comedy, Step Brothers. This film came out in 2008, and starts Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly. There’s just so many laugh out loud parts. The jokes come so often that most people have to watch the movie twice, because the first time they’ll be laughing at one joke and completely miss the next due to the original laughter. My number two spot goes to a classic; Forrest Gump. This movie made Tom Hanks who he is today. There’s part of this movie that everyone loves. Whether it be the comedy, the dramatic war scene, or the sad part when Jenny dies. This movie is simply a classic, and shows some major events in the 1970’s and 1980’s in United States history.  The movie tells of a young man from the early age of maybe 6 or 7 and extends up until he is at least in his forties. It shows the good and the bad times of being a soldier, athlete and lover in this excellent film. And now for the moment that we’ve all been waiting for; the number 1 spot in Austin Zelasko’s all-time favorite movie list goes to Glory Road. Josh Lucas and Derrick Luke and the main stars of this classic film, which takes place in a time in US history when blacks and whites were not all unified. In this true story, coach Don Haskins gets the job as the coach of the University of Texas El Paso Miners basketball team, and in his first year, he recruits some of the best African American basketball players in the country, and takes them all the way to a National Championship win. This movie is a classic, and if you have not yet seen it, you should. Just for the record, my honorable mention awards go out to Remember the Titans, The Jerk, The Dark Knight Rises, and Coach Carter, as well as The Wall.
