August 9, 2020: Shark Week

August 8, 2020: Onwards
When I heard it, I couldn’t believe it; that can’t be true. If the Blackhawks beat the Oilers, this will be the first playoff series they win since 2015; no way. After the Blackhawks beat the Oilers, they said it … Continued
August 7, 2020: Check Yourself
Every once in a while, we all need to check ourselves. That’s the song I was trying to think of, when I was singing along to the radio version of Ice Cube’s Today was a Good Day. I’m not a … Continued
