Is It Because She's Lindsay Lohan? Or Its Because You Idiots Think She's Really Sorry?!
ONCE AGAIN, your giving her a REASON to do it again..and again..and again..SINCE she keeps getting away with it again..and again..and again. Hopefully, I'm not the only one who sees that there is a problem with our "wonderful" justice system. D.U.I., drugs, violating probation and shes get a slap on the hand like a child?! I wonder if a working-class woman would get the same deal? Or a hard working black man? Of course she's going to smile in court or look sad/show sympathy; SHE'S AN ACTRESS! They are paid MILLIONS to play a role. Not only is it not fair to our regular tax payers, it's a bad look for our nation & justice system, because we are suppose to be comfortable with depending on them..right? Not just picking on Lohan, there are numerous of celebrities or pro athletes that give away with the law, NOT ALL though. But what we can all agree on is that MONEY TALKS!
A "HUNGRY" Poet
Knowing that I ate before I came to a poets, Paolo Corso, speaking event, I wouldn't of guessed that I would be hungry again, so soon. I expected for the Italian blood poet to read some of her poems, but what I wasn't expecting what that most of her poems were based on Italians lifestyle of cooking. Poems from "How Much Salt" to "How Long To Cook Pasta" made me not just think how hungry I was getting but how creative it was to use ingredients and receipes in her work. Would make sense since she has won awards, such as Best Story in 2005 and has a Masters from NY College in creative writing.
Next time, I know to do research or at least bring some pasta with me.

Truly MARCH MADNESS
Who would have thought NO number 1 seed team, Ohio State, Kansas(picture above), Pittsburgh & Duke, would not get to the Final Four?! NCAA Tournament is the most popular sporting event in the USA, with gambling, school & home team spirit, and that's how this tournament got its name "March Madness". With gambling, you get a bracket and fill out which team you would think win it all. It has been said, more money is gambled in this tournament than the playoff to Super Bowl in the NFL.
However, this year is a "bracket-buster". Only TWO people out of 5 million, on ESPN NCAA Tournament Challenge, had the Final Four picks right, which were Kentucky, UConn, VCU and Butler, all teams are ranked below #3 seed (UConn being the only 3 seed). 1 million however did chose UConn, me being one & majority of the million being Tri-State people.
The great Cinderella story of this years tournament is a number 11 seed team, Virginia Commonwealth University who many people thought they shouldn't of even been in the tournament in the first place. Even though the Final Four was their last stop, the last time an 11 seed team made it to the Final Four was in 2006 and before that was in 1986, LSU over Memphis St. The lowest seed to ever win the Championship was a number 8 team, Villanova in 1985.
So those 2 people out of the 5 million should sure think about becoming analyst or play lotto. Who would of thought this years Final Four would come to this?? Truly a MARCH MADNESS!
