Blink is back!

I don't if any of you guys watched the grammy's 2 weeks ago, but if you did, rock band blink 182- announced that they are reuiniting. It was confirmed on stage when they presented the award for best rock album. Drummer Travis Barker stated, "We used to play music together, and we decided were going to play music again," then Bassist Mork Hoppus yelled, "Blink is back!" Later on their website, blink sent out a message that says "Hi. We're Blink-182. This past week there've been a lot of questions about the current status of the band, and we wanted you to hear it straight from us. To put it simply, We're back. We mean, really back. Picking up where we left off and then some. In the studio writing and recording a new album. Preparing to tour the world yet again. Friendships reformed. 17 years deep in our legacy. Summer 2009. Thanks and get ready."Blink-182 seems to be in the studio recording their next album, which expects to be released this summer. This is very exciting news, becuase blink-182 is one of my favorite bands and Travis barker is my idol. Can't wait for the new CD!!

Terps!!

What a great day. The Maryland Terrapins Men's Basketball team, which has suffered the most schizophrenic season so far, finally caught a break and beat No. 3 North Carloina 88-85 in Overtime today. It was the best game the Terps have played in years. Greivis Vasquez recorded a triple-double, only the second person ever to do that in a Maryland uniform as he carried the terps on his back till the end. He finished with 35 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists. Cliff Tucker provided a spark off the bench with 22 points (5 of 7 from 3) and Eric Hayes scored 17 as the Maryland bench outscored UNC's 41-5. The Terps never quit, after being down 9 at halftime and 16 with 15 minutes to go in the second half. 3 point shooting helped the Terps cut the lead to 2. WIth 1 minute left, down 76-70, Vasquez scored 4 points, including a layup with 8 seconds left and Eric Hayes added a layup to send the game to OT deadlocked at 76. Vasquez made 2 crucial free throws with the score at 86-85 to make it 88-85, the score in which Maryland held on to win by. This is such a huge Game for the Terps, who improve to 17-9 and 6-6 in the ACC and appear to be on the bubble for the NCAA tournament. With a key matchup with rival Duke next week, the fun has just begun.

History Tainted...once again

Alex Rodriguez, why? This guy was one of the only "good guys" left in baseball, that we all know didn't do steroids, right? Think again. Rodriguez tested positive for steroids in 2003. This was the year he won AL MVP and home run title with the Texas Rangers. He hit 47 homers with a .298 batting average and knocked in 118 runs. Gah, I'm just at a loss for words. Is there any truth in baseball anymore? Everyone is cheating now a days, and they probably were in the past as well. I have all the reason to suspect that anyone that has hit 30 home runs in one season that is buff used steroids. That is what "America's Pastime" has come to. Cheating. What makes it even worse is in an interview in 2007 on 60 minutes, A-Rod stated he never used steroids. If I were a baseball player that used steroids, I would just admit it. Don't lie about it and get everybody on your side, then dissapoint them. The whole world deserves to be crashing down on you right now. Honestly, wouldn't any caring human being feel guilty after having such a great season or career, by cheating? If I feel guilty when looking at the cheats of a new video game, you must feel horrible. So where does A-Rod go from here? He's 33 and has 553 career home runs. At this pace he will pass Barry Bonds and hold the all time home run record. So it will be passed on from cheater to cheater. Great. Here's some advice A-Rod: Get on a plane and fly as far away as possible to some tropical island and just stay there. Because nobody wants you around anymore. This is the last straw for Major League Baseball. There are a lot of questions that needs to be answered. From now on, any player testing positive for sterois should be thrown out of the league, no exceptions. It's the only way to make the game clean again. Bud Selig has a lot of work on his hands, and with his recent "success", we should expect this to get even worse.
