Sammy and the Sixers/Lance and Lucky #7

I must say that Billy King, President of the Sixers, had been getting on my nerves lately. Why? Because he kept saying that he wanted to keep Kyle Korver, Willie Green, and Samuel Dalembert with the team. But, I saw him doing nothing but talking about keeping them. I was maily concerned with us losing Sammy. I think we need all three, but I would have been highly upset had they let Sammy get away.
Then today I hear the news....Sixers keep Dalembert for a reported 6yr contract. So, I guess I will leave Billy King alone...for now.

Congrats to Lance Armstrong for winning a record 7th Tour de France. Nice to see him go out on top.

Podcasting

Ever since I got my Apple IPOD, I have been addicted to podcasts. Every night I can't wait to go to my favorite podcasts and download the new shows. I only subscribe to the technology ones and every morning on my way to work, I get knowledge and information (along with opinions) from what seem to be some really cool people. I know sounds "geeky", huh? I can't help it...

Guess I need to get a life..NOT! Maybe I should make my own podcast...hmmmm.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!

Hey, today is my Birthday!!!! I had a blessed and special birthday with friends and family! Couldn't have had it any other way.

HAPPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!

Live 8 - Philadelphia

Living in the Philadelphia area has its privileges. Take for example yesterday. All over the news and radio everyone was talking about the big Live 8 awareness concert. News castors made mention of the fact that this was a history making event. There would be one million or more people converging on the Ben Franklin Parkway in the city of Philadelphia.

Now all week I was telling everyone that I would not be going to the concert, even though it was a mere train ride away for me. I mentioned that there would be way too many people there and that I just hate being in crowds. Then, Saturday morning all things changed.

I couldn't fathom missing such an event. I just wanted to go down there to say that I went. I wanted to be a part of history.

We decided at the last minute to hop the train and join the millions of others planted on the Parkway, making history for a cause. And, you know what? The crowds didn't bother me at all. The weather was great. The people were great. And of course, the artists were fantastic! I stayed much longer than planned, but it was well worth it. I was able to bring home some great souveniers and momentos.

I will forever remember attending the Live 8 concert. It feels great to have been a part of something so enormous. Yes, living here definitely has its privileges, but being a part of Live 8 is priceless. Hopefully, this is only the start of better things to come for the entire World!!!
