Tv Best Guesses



Everyone has a tv show or program that they love. While actually watching these shows helps us get into the characters worlds, their ads on tv rarely ever do them justice. They might actually be very confusing or conflicting to the actually plot of the show, especially those around us who have never seen them. So to prove my point, I had my friends make a list of five shows that I’ve heard of but never actually watched. I’m going to do my best to try to summarize them. Here goes nothing.


5. Parks and Recreation
As far as I know Parks and Recreation is some kind of comedy show. It features chubby Chris Pratt (before he go all hot for Jurassic Park) and Amy Poehler who I only know from Mean Girls (“I'm a cool mom.”) From the title I assume they fix parks ? And re-create stuff?

4. Gilmore Girls
I've seen a collected total of about 2 minutes of Gilmore Girls on accident in the morning. Personally i thought it and One Tree Hill were basically the same but I've been told the two shows aren't similar. I know there’s a mom and a daughter who give off some kind of Hallmark-relationship vibe. Like they seem like they would have lots of long talks about boys and love and their places in the universe.  I dont have the tolerance to watch and find out.

3. Downton Abbey
I've heard of Downton Abbey for a few years now. (I've only recently become aware its not pronounced Down-town Abbey). While I don’t know much, I do know that it's about British people in a time before light bulbs were invented. From the dramatic violins played in the commercials it's clearly a drama.  I'm going to assume there is lots of adultery and tea drinking. Which is common amongst old-timey British shows. A question I have  “Is Downton Abbey a building or more of a general place?”

2. The Flash
I know the Flash is a new show. To me its just another super hero show.  A white-male protagonist has a secret identity that he has to hide from pretty much everyone but two or three people. He struggles to save everyone and of course it's fun until a “real villain” comes and then it gets serious. Now maybe I’m wrong and anyone is welcome to call me out, but the superhero shows are basically all the same.


  1. Pretty Little Liars
This show has been promoted since I was in 6th grade. It never looked interesting so I never bothered to watch it. I know its about 4 girls whose other blonde friend dies. There is a person called “A” who could basically be anyone. You would think after 9 years or something the mystery would be solved but another season is coming on.  None of them have died so I guess the only suspense is for some secondary characters I don't know anything about.

There you have it. I really gave these summaries my hardest. Hope they’re somewhat like the shows. Let me know if I missed the mark, and I really, really try to watch at least an episode of the show… not! Comment your thoughts to below!

Lokai Bracelets


Lokai bracelets are a newer trend that started getting popular about a year ago. Each bracelet has a white bead and a black bead. The white bead is infused with water from the Mount Everest, the highest point on earth. The black bead is infused with mud from the Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth. Personally, i think the bracelets are gorgeous. They come in clear, blue, pink, camo, and red. 

Here are some pictures of them:

Quote of the Day



"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living. It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope."
-Dr Seuss

Don't be serious all the time. A little nonsense never hurt anyone. People who are serious all the time are never any fun! Many people will tell you that you're acting "childish" but let's be real...being a kid is WAY more fun. Don't do anything too reckless but have fun with your life.

Draft Order



With the 2015 regular season coming to a close, many teams are looking forward to April 30th. On that date, teams will get the chance to revamp their offenses and defenses. I’m going to focus on the top 5 drafters today, which will be the Titans, Browns, Chargers, Cowboys and Jaguars. Unfortunately, the Titans and Jaguars were both in the top 5 for drafting last year yet their teams have improved a little if any. The Browns, Chargers and Cowboys all had picks outside of the top ten last year, but struggled this season. Without further ado, let’s look at what each team needs to do.
  1. Tennessee Titans
Top needs:
Offensive Lineman, Running Back, Linebacker
Best Selection choices:
Laremy Tunsil- Offensive Tackle: Ole Miss
Ezekiel Elliot- Running Back: Ohio State
Reggie Ragland- Inside Linebacker: Alabama
Overview: The Titans have a lot of issues to fix, but if they want to take the best step possible they will want to get a bell-cow offensive lineman who can protect their young franchise quarterback Marcus Mariota. A running back would be an effective pick as this seasons carries were split between Dexter McCluster and Bishop Sankey so the Titans could use a tailback. They have plenty of linebackers, but they could use and upgrade.
  1. Cleveland Browns
Top needs:
Quarterback, Wide Receiver, Defensive End
Best Selection Choices:
Connor Cook- Quarterback: Michigan State
Laquan Treadwell- Wide Receiver: Ole Miss
Joey Bosa- Defensive End: Ohio State
Overview: The Browns haven’t had a legitimate franchise quarterback since Otto Graham in the 1940’s! At some point they have to figure it out. The Browns had a good receiver in Josh Gordon a few years back who was an all pro until his drug problems caught up with him and he hasn’t been in the league in almost 2 years. The Browns defense is average at best, but they could use a dominant pass rusher to add to that defensive line.
  1. San Diego Chargers
Top Needs:
Wide Receiver, Linebacker, Center
Top Selection Choices:
Laquan Treadwell- Wide Receiver: Ole Miss
Myles Jack- Outside Linebacker: UCLA
Center- Ryan Kelly- Alabama
Overview: The Chargers are one of those teams that always seem to have a good season, but they can’t get over the hump. They need a Wide Receiver to pair up with Keenan Allen to create a high powered offense with Philip Rivers as the quarterback. The defense needs help and they need an athletic linebacker line Myles Jack who can help any team. But they really need a middle of the line guy who can protect Philip Rivers.
  1. Dallas Cowboys
Top Needs:
Quarterback, Cornerback, Defensive Line
Top Selection Choice:
Connor Cook- Quarterback: Michigan State
Jalen Ramsey- Cornerback: Florida State
A’Shawn Robinson- Defensive Tackle: Alabama
Overview: Cowboys fans are confident that with Romo behind Center they can win next season, but they need a backup for when Romo calls it quits. They need to draft now and breed him into their system. Ramsey would be my first pick to help this Cowboys swiss cheese secondary. And they really need a D-line threat and A’Shawn Robinson is big and fast and very talented.
  1. Jacksonville Jaguars
Top Needs:
Cornerback, Defensive End, Center
Top Selection Choices:
Jalen Ramsey- Cornerback: Florida State
Joey Bosa- Defensive End: Ohio State
Ryan Kelly- Center- Alabama
Overview: The Jaguars improved their offense drastically but they could certainly use a Center to help with protection. Their defense should be a top priority and Jalen Ramsey and Joey Bosa would definitely help with their cause.
So there ya go an overview of the 2016 NFL draft. Let’s hope these teams use the opportunities they get.

Aluminum VI Charge



Apple didn’t have the best 2015 in my opinion. While the Iphone 6s shattered sale records, many bought the phone out of loyalty. After the hype of the new pretty colors died down, many complained that the new phone wasn’t really all that special.  Of course, since it’s Apple, these reviews did nothing to skew their high flying numbers. In order to truly dominate the market, Apple came out with several additional products, including their new portable phone charger. This didn’t do as well. However, some good came out it. With every new apple addition, comes a competitor trying to do better. Introducing 4Second Life’s new aluminum VI Charge. Made to look “apple-esque,” you almost can’t tell that it’s not an apple product. Unfortunately, that’s pretty much where all the pros stop.  The charger completely lacks an on and off switch. The only way it  activates is if you sliding your finger across the panel on the front. The charger is also really bulky, making fitting it in your pocket while charging very difficult. Plus, it blocks the radio jack. I mean, why can’t you listen to music and charge your phone at the same time. The Aluminum VA Charge gets more expensive the higher the charge. Starting price of an Aluminum VI Charge for Iphone 6 and 6s is eighty five dollars. My advice, get a cheap portable charger. They’re everywhere, from Walgreens to Radio Shack, and won’t cost you an arm and a leg.

Can't Stop the King



Yes, Lebron James is getting older, but to say that he is falling off due to age is completely wrong. Everyone expects Lebron to put up over forty points every other game. He hasn't had to do that since he played in Cleveland the first time. Everyone tries to knock him for leaving, but his performance with other superstars, such as Chris Bosh, and Dwayne Wade was amazing. Lebron got to facilitate the ball a lot more, and didn't have to put up thirty every other game. Now that he’s in Cleveland, he can rely on Kyrie Irving, J.R Smith, Kevin Love, and many more pieces to help win the game. I think people get caught up on the scoring and don't look at his overall game. His numbers are still consistent, and even though he may not be as fast or jump as high, he is still showing he can turn a team's playoff hopes around in one season. Honestly, I didn't believe he would go to the Finals, and he proved me wrong. Never again will I not believe in the King.
