Success through our failure, now I know what you may be thinking how can I succeed through my failures. The mere thought of a failure is failing at something with no redeeming things to acquire from that experience. The truth however is that there is a variety of things to be gained from a failures if you peel back it's outer layer and unveil it's purposely hidden truth. A failure is meant to humble and showcase the tough acquisition of something we know all to well that can at times be hard to acquire. Through that failure however is where we can receive our reward the internal attributes within us that exemplefies our greatest strenght, coming in the form of our patience, renewed perseverance leading to a newly adjusted perspective and understanding of our desired goals and catipulting us to our newly incentive mission. Through a disappointment rises an eventual euphoria through our pain eventually comes a relevent comfort one that gravitates us to a satisfying and meaningful long journey to our final resolute destination.
Disappointment can quell our desire or it can further add fuel to that same desire for our cherished conquest. We can either take the seed of our witnessed failure and keep it as just that or develop it into the growth of our blossoming showcase. Our failures can very much so serve as that spark can light the fuse that leads the way to our purposely wondered dreams coming to fruition. If we let our disappointment and failures be the launching pad to our acquired success through our newly applied sense of hunger and adaptation towards it's aquisition failure truly then becomes a reward. A reward of hard work, discipline,commitment and passion to self growth. A benefit to our soon to be adjusted mental mindframe, the lit fuse to spark the positive footsteps towards destined prevailing events in which we prevail from the darkness of our displaying light to shine in the eventual glory of the light that's yet to tower over us in it's eminent trance. If you lose no need to feel afraid to lose again and if you fail welcome it as if it is appreciated because in the end we are not at all meausred by our failures, just the actions admits our continuous journey to our successes.

Our willingness to age
Aging we all have to get older sooner or Later but it's how we combat that reality that helps us unravel the beauty of it's comfortably hidden prize. As the days add up and the years go by we tend to view aging as an imaginary gravitational push towards our human expiration and ultimate mortality coming to an end; viewing our youth as being as good as it gets with no place to go from there but down. Aging in our minds then becomes perceived as nothing more than a mere disappointment mainly due to how we view ourselves adjusting to a life of newly met realities. how we see both our lives and ourselves as we grow older paints the narative and we then construct either the enjoyment of getting older through our mental self portrait or the plain regret and sadness we choose to attain from that mental visionary stance. It ultimately does beg the question have we somewhere along the line forgotten that we construct the view of our own self narrative.
How we manage to live and why we manage to live is up to our our own measured jurisitication. An approached and initiated acknowledgement that doesn't change through time but that rather becomes more crucial as we grow and evolve as humans. Through that acknowledgement we set the standard the appreciation for what age we are what it may mean to us and ultimately what value it holds in our continued evolution throughout the duration of our lives. Getting older is just that, getting older, providing as many pros as it does cons. Making us all the wiser,appreciative of what we have and who we are and how precious our existence when refelected upon is in the grand scheme of things.
Does aging have it's setbacks? absolutely, but just because you age doesn't mean that your spirit follows suit and does so as well. Living freely is done through one's commitment for doing so having a zest for life with the knowledge of how precious that youthful like exuberberance can be at any age; as it can have a huge impact towards how you want to combat life progressing forward. We are the existence of our permission, what we allow our lives to be and how we allow our lives to go paints the portraits of our essence. refelecting the fight of our unbridbled passion for the will to live, spiritually reflecting us in the same light as our youth projecting us in the same view of our sometimes forgotten past.How old you are isn't as important as how old you live, as life still continues no matter the age and adventure still continues no matter the stage.
Once we live by the number we get assigned we officially become that precise number as well. the same can't be said about living by the number you personally want and making life the adventure it should be. Aging is a process of human evolution that we can't control but what we do have a say on is the meaning and relevance we put into ourselves each day and navigating it in the direction of our desired view and that we certainly we have all the say in. Act your age some may say and while that nay be true at times their are many other different occasions when it isn't and benefits you not to. Act how you feel and age loses a large portion of it's significance; take it a step further by not being tied down to a number and you allow yourself to view who you are in a whole new permitted light no longer connected to how old your age says you are but by how youthful your existence within that moment of time frames you to be.

doubt vs certainty
Doubt vs certainty a constant battle we sometimes mentally engage with not only within our minds but sometimes within the depths of our souls. We constantly ask the question when we should push forth and battle with the ideology of whether or not our push to move forth is really in the end worth it. We linger with our suspicions of what's we feel is internally right and what we perceive as being wrong, at times even getting in our own way toi the path of our own mental salvation.
Our doubt sets our limitation of expectations and at times setting the barrier to our true unlimited potential. Our certainty while at times beneficial can be misdirected in our wishful prosperous conquest. Knowing when to properly use the two can be a very difficult task as both can serve as a benefit or a disadvantage in finding the proper path or just making the right decision. Both can be very useful but serve their purpose best when used at the right time. Doubt can bring about hesitation, worry and an inherent fear to simply proceed onward. What counteracts that is a relevant certainty that once attained trains us to jump life's many hurdles, to relinquish our fears when found adopted into a proven doubt, and catapults our courage into the forefront to acheive what was thought to be challenging, impossible or just plain risky helping us to confidently proceed onward towards our goals or life agendas.
Doubt however can provide a beneficial flip side to it's importance as well, serving as our perfectly provided emotional compas of what is truly right or conclusively wrong sometimes managing to be correct in it's assumptions, all the while our certainty to no fault of our own may be an unjust one, do to life's consistence in changing up the script to our lives. It is more beneficial however to our own human growth and our continued evolution to have more certainty than doubt, as it is our certainty that frees us, leads to the useful path that we deep down within our selves know that we both require and undoubtedly request. It can also be the mental and emotional force that pushes a sometimes eluded belief to the forefront all while helping us in the much needed salvation to our much needed mental freedom. through self certainty we triumph over the initiated stance of fear fabricated by doubt, where our now suddenly formed strength found within ourselves dictates our outcomes more often than not setting us to prosper instead of conclusive doubt and fear doing so for us where it more often then sets us up to simply fail, as certainty does a much better job in pushing us forward more so than doubt which can only triumph in it's conquest of holding us back.

Kindness
The benefit of being nice can truly have a very profound impact in one's emotional resonance and positve attitude. What I mean by this is you can really make someone's mood change and internal spirit lift by doing the good things that some of us can at times take for granted. We have the ability to possess kindness and generosity and spread that outward to those around us especially to those who need it most. Through our warmth we introduce others to a generous compassion that when delivered to others can be an intoxicating form of activated bliss towards one's emotional state, helping us as well to portray our own human existence to a prosperous glorified light.
The act of kindness brightens our external glow and can awaken others hidden happiness not always displayed, maybe even helping others parley that into positive actions towards others. Through a kind act and through kind words we ourselves shine in the best way possible, and it is that special glow coming from the goodness of our exhibited human nature that gives it it's magnetic beauty, gorgeous enough to have others yearning to shine just as brightly and have their set being perfectly portraying that essential importance, all while magnifying the true depth of our sometimes hidden individual human greatness.
With kindness we spread love, happiness, joy, and an appreciation for others just like us, at times empowering those us around us, benefiting their emotional stance and given the circumstance in which we uplift someone else we may also benefit a neccesary beneficial self outlook that may have otherwise been complely unapparent to one's needed self appreciation. If you have to power to be kind why not use it you may just be making someone's day, pulling them out of an emotional rut and empowering their own self view portrayed external through a positive emotional view whether it be through a smile or an acknowledgement of their realized appreciation with a thank you. We have the power the enforce positive means of contention among other see the beauty and optimism that not everybody may find and bless those with the power to see the true value that a human existence can showcase, and provide the value of a consitently needed emotional lift that renders people to a better emotional state, all of which done through the simple act of pure kindness, which to me makes the simple act of genuinely being kind very much worth it in the end.

Memories
Memories their sometimes profound, insightful, and at times very meaningful in our existence.We all have them and they come in two forms the good memories and the bad ones. Each distinctive in leaving a profound internal feeling within us all while helping shape the emotion in a human consciousness. How we look back on the existence we've had the privilege to explore thus far in our lives and have gotten to engage in or have been dispondent to fills a life's remembrance and gives the prominent meaning to our self view. A memory provides the mental conjuring of withheld moments no longer rendered in time but rather kept stored mentally, comfortably entered in the mind. We have them under lock and key occasionally to be open at a time of our choosing; at a time of perfect convenience and to remind us where we've been and how far we've come. Memories connect the past to the present, connects what we've forgotten about and reminds us of meaningful ways of why it may resonate with our present and why in some cases it may have meaning towards our continuing evolution.

Music's role
Music, many would call it the unofficial sountrack to our lives some might simply view it as majestic ear candy warming up our heart with its hypnotic sounds, while others might view it as the soundtrack to life itself and then their are simply those who just may view it as beautiful and enchanting audible art.
Whatever the viewpoint music has a variety of prevailing meanings that we tend to attach on to it with a ton of prevailing uses as well.Music at times serves as the perfect compliment to our moods, can sculpt and cultivate our emotions or can just serve as the magic elixer to uplift our internal spirits, It can serve the purpose of being a nostolgic time travel machine and bring us back in time with a certain song or memorable adolescent childhood album; to a mental place or day that will forever be kept in one' heart and that still provides those fond memories that can be captured vividly though the right mental cognitive processing .
Music for us truly is the jack off all trades when it comes to helping change the dynamics of a view, constructing a necessarily mental reasuurement that everything will be okay or just using it as a beneficial sidekick companion, that at that point in time can understand perfectly your emotional state of present well being. Artists from the past and current ones today understand the emotional roller coaster of life the same exact way we do with it's prevailing ups and downs and surprising twist and turns that it can apply to an affected mental psyche, it is then their job with that mental knowledge to relate to those emotional burdens and triumphs that many have experienced, and that they themselves may have gone through, and parley that to the many facing the same noticeable turmoil in their day to day experience. It is through an artist's voice, sound, and a musical melody that it has the magical power to play masterfully with our emotional range add in a specific time frame in which it gets released, a particular emotion and a memorable life moment and music now has left an imprint on a person's life with the space and allotted opportunity to continue to do just that as a person's life evolves.
Music has incredible power, superpowers no, but it does provide that wondrous escape to another mental destination, those soothing sounds that serve as the best stress relievers possible to the human spirit all while being able to take one's mind to new mental territories or forgotten about mental regions , thereby allowing the person who hears it to transport their inner spirits into a new personally instituted mental dimension set forth by the power of sound.
Music is our emotional compass as well, guided by our internal emotions, at times it serves as the perfect compliment to go along with a down trodden day, can be the wise teacher teaching us the importance of a needed life lesson, can sympathize with us through the sudden pain of heartache,or can play the perfect role as the well intention-ed friend that reminds us that it's okay to let our hair down and just have a good time. It is through these varying roles it understands us and we thereby fit it into the navigation of our life days and ongoing experienced journey.
whether it is a sad or happy song, a song to dance to or just a ballad you can share with a loved one music does a great job in wonderfully doing its part in an emotional sence of knowing what its audience wants and more importantly capturing what the audience needs. It provides us wisdom, purpose, hope, strength, happiness, and more often than not an escape from life's harsh met realities.
It is the one art-form that speaks to us the most because it is the one that understands us better than any other, mainly due to the fact it has been and still is created by those who have been through our same struggle, felt our same triumph, and experience the same wide range of our merited and exhibited emotions.
Music's biggest power and biggest meaning is that it is the perfect reflection of us and who we are it is the journal to life itself perfectly spotlighting the emotions of the human spirit within it, all while being viewed through the lens of life. It is the reflection of a person existence the explanation that at times wonderfully defines the portrait of human truth and the description to who we represent ourselves as being, all while highlighting our attempt of decoding life mysterious reasoning through our already felt and still yet to be experienced life moments.

The king is back
Welcome back NFL, oh how we have missed you, us football fans and fantasy owners that is. After months of waiting the anticipation is finally over, the NFL season has arrived yet again for another season and as a result Sundays can commence in being exciting once again.
There is no denying that when it comes to sports in America it is the NFL that reigns supreme. No other sport has it's collective fan base eating out of the palm of their hands for yearning to watch
more of its sport in this country, than football currently does. Whether it is buying merchandise,watching the games, setting up your fantasy team, talking about the games to your colleagues at work, or children talking to friends at school about yesterday's game, it is pretty clear that when it comes to garnering buzz and generating attention football is king, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
Let's face it for us who are fans of the sport football has us wrapped around it's finger and not necessarily cause we want it to be that way but more so because we need it to be that way. We need that special event, that must see attraction that captivates us in a week in week out basis and Football serves as just that. It is the continuation of something that we just can't get enough of, in the same way the latest movie in a trilogy is or the continuation of a book series from a popular author is as well, we desperately yearn to see it pick up right where it left off. Through that wait the anticipation for yet another enthralling season is at it's peak, with fans clamoring to get to their TV sets to see just how it unfolds.
In the same way we yearn to see the latest talked about and exciting movie or the next great episode in a wildly popular TV series, The NFL has simply become can't miss television. We love the NFL but honestly how can we help but not to. There is a variety of reasons to watch the NFL product and why football captivates us so highly, whether it's to see if a champion can defend their crowd, to find out which new team will rise from the ashes and perch themselves among the elite, to impressively take witness to which quarterback will take that next step as they continue to climb up the ranks among the elite of the sport or just whether you made the correct choices with your fantasy picks this season. There is a variety of reasons that the NFL has us glued to our TV screens and it's unfolding drama, and why we are way too invested to simply just not watch anymore.
We need the NFL just as much as the NFL needs us, we crave for it's exciting brand of action and its competitive battles and it craves our attention and money, It is a give and take relationship that goes both ways, a relationship between us and the sport that has made it the most popular one in America. We are compelled by the great athletes, the spectacular plays, the rising stars, our teams success, potential comebacks, and both the player and team improvements made from one year to the next. The NFl has left us under its spell and right now it is way too enticing for us to want to break it out of it. The truth however is that its hard to blame any of us for being fans in large part to the quality of the games,how the NFL perfectly orchastrates their exposure, and their buzz through commercials and a week long wait, that enables a fans interest to reach a crescendo by the time game time hits, all to wonderfully be fulfilled for a couple of glorious days of competitive football action, and to restart all over again the following week.
The strength of the sport is their great ability to leave us wanting more all while giving us a so much to take in and enjoy during each season. Unlike baseball and basketball which tend to give us more games than we would want or tends to drag on for way too long, football is the perfect length where it's not too short and not too long, all as it succeeds in captivating us with it's presentation,suspense, and fast paced competitive action.
Does The NFL have it's fair share of problems behind the scenes? yes it does and there is absolutely no denying that fact, that however is not why we watch, it the game's graceful visual beauty witnessed through its violence, the anticipation of it's continuing story being played out right before our eyes, the answering of our speculation for our teams potential success, and the fun filled ride we know it will take us on in the search of a crowned champion that has us mesmerized and hooked on its product and leaves us wanting more year in and year out. As yet another season has come it is these compelling components that will leave us transfixed on its continuing saga all while leaving us engaged in its visual drama right down to it's final conclusion.

our differences equal our connection
Differences, what makes the world wonderful and special is precisely that. Whether it's a difference in ethnicity, race, culture, age, color and gender all have been necessary in defining not only human beings but life itself. Each one of us is different from one another in one way shape or form, we like different things from music, to movies, to books, to TV, we all have different dreams we wish to accomplish and we vary from one another in lifestyle, based off of how we choose to live to our lives.
We as people are designed to be different just as much as we are designed in many ways to be similar. It is those differences however that make us understand one another better to view one another in a brighter light and to grow as people from accepting those differences, and being able to respect it as well. Through one's respect for someone being different you accept them shining in their own light, thereby allowing others to shine beautifully in their own way as well.
understanding one's unique make-up representing who they are is up to us to create and respect and once we can do just that, we can go on from there to have an appreciation for what person in essence represents. We have the power to uplift others worthy sense of self, and grow as people as a result of doing that, as seeing the beauty in someone difference helps all of us see the beauty in other peoples differences as well.The United States of America symbolizes all people from all walks of life coming to one country and benefiting it through their presence, culture, language and ethnicity. We are connected through each race, culture and distinct difference that each one of those countries beneficially provides us. Through the presence of those who are different we learn, we adapt, we grow, we assimilate to others and their representative nature.
This in my opinion is what makes America as a whole so special and so attractive as a destination to embark upon and to stay in. It is our acceptance and our understanding of others no matter their appearance or culture or religion or sexual orientation that helps further distinguish America as a great country that is very much worthy of its reputation and praise. ONe person difference from us is not meant to be as much loved or hated as it is meant to be respected where within the confines of that respect can hopefully grow a civil appreciated understanding of the internal makeup of the different elements of what can make a person who they are in their met representation.
It is not our job to have the answer towards who someone is or whythe result of their visual distinction lives up to our own held requirements, but rather if their self expression lives up to their yet to be finished definition towards who they wish to conclusively represent themselves as. If we as human beings are walking representation of god's art then it should probably be left up to himto be able to merrit the proper distinc oppinion of what that valued artwork overall worth truly signifies. We as people can only appreciate the various differences that he created us with, and once we can understand that we can start to understand why each of us serve as a beautiful wonder waiting to be explored.
We as people are designed to be different just as much as we are designed in many ways to be similar. It is those differences however that make us understand one another better to view one another in a brighter light and to grow as people from accepting those differences, and being able to respect it as well. Through one's respect for someone being different you accept them shining in their own light, thereby allowing others to shine beautifully in their own way as well.
understanding one's unique make-up representing who they are is up to us to create and respect and once we can do just that, we can go on from there to have an appreciation for what person in essence represents. We have the power to uplift others worthy sense of self, and grow as people as a result of doing that, as seeing the beauty in someone difference helps all of us see the beauty in other peoples differences as well.The United States of America symbolizes all people from all walks of life coming to one country and benefiting it through their presence, culture, language and ethnicity. We are connected through each race, culture and distinct difference that each one of those countries beneficially provides us. Through the presence of those who are different we learn, we adapt, we grow, we assimilate to others and their representative nature.
This in my opinion is what makes America as a whole so special and so attractive as a destination to embark upon and to stay in. It is our acceptance and our understanding of others no matter their appearance or culture or religion or sexual orientation that helps further distinguish America as a great country that is very much worthy of its reputation and praise. ONe person difference from us is not meant to be as much loved or hated as it is meant to be respected where within the confines of that respect can hopefully grow a civil appreciated understanding of the internal makeup of the different elements of what can make a person who they are in their met representation.

Hope will always be a key
What is hope? How do we hold on it? These questions are prevalent for every living soul walking the face of the earth today. Hope in definition is defined by a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen. Inside of us we all hold some semblance of hope, some in a smaller context and others do so on a much larger scale. Whatever the size,we use it as the fuel for our distinction, the guide for our desired life journey, the helpful push to our dreams conquest, and most importantly as the internal spiritual calling to get us through tough times. Certain distinct circumstances may bring about this useful need for it's power. through tough times hope uplifts us, aid us, encourages us, and often times benefits us in any en devour we wish to accomplish. It helps us through any saddened mood we internally hold and .helps spark the self positivity we may for the moment have missing within us. Hope is never magically set as it has to be generated to be successfully garnered from within and hopefully if were lucky enough it can be sparked for us through others in our lives, or in the specific way we see others live theirs.
The fashion in which we attain it is less important than the overall significance of keeping its important meaning within us to begin with, which leads to my second question how do we hold on to it. That can be a rather difficult question to answer, many may have an easier time keeping a strong and consistent postive hope stached in their heart and minds, all while for others this can a very difficult task and can be rather challenging with life's consistent nature of mixing the good with the bad into the fabric of our ongoing lives.
Facing obstacles can breed frustration, that apparent frustration then quietly can proceed to culminate gradually into stress, stress can then lead into sadness, and its sustained length may at times lead into depression.It is the hope that we attach to our circumstances however that lift us out of our rut, makes us think better of our circumstance, provides us with a cherished thought out of our situations improvement, shining a light into our prevalent darkness which can be the theoretical helping hand to get us back up on our feet yet again.
The best way I can answer this question is to simply ask another, Is the hope of a positive change important and necessary enough for you to want to keep it? If it is then you as a person will find the neccesariry way to somehow find it and use it accordingly, and once found will increase the importance of your yearning to store it within yourself, to help you whenever needed most. As people we often times are led through life by our emotions the feelings that we instantly get at a given moment. The glorious moments provide an exuberant and exhilerating feeling that doesn't at all need the effectiveness of hope, It is the grim days and sometimes the painful ones however that require it the most, and when it is both beneficial and crucial to our overall emotional well being. through the ups and down, life's twists and turns it is through hope that we stay afloat, keep our heads above water and have the necessary tool to carry on. Life at times can certainly be a bare to get through it can test us right to our very core all while trying in a unique way to find what were made of, yet it is through hope that inate belief turned on within us that catapults our desire to push forth, to seek the improvement we so desperately crave to have for the benefit our emotional mood and views at that presice and distinc moment.
Hope is the cure that helps heal us the medicine from the sickness of life's harsh realities and our navagational compus through the bad and difficult all the way to the good and mentally achievable.
We give it the power it warrants, the meaning to it's important definition as it guides us with a purposeful distinction waiting to be decoded in time, we just have to give it the green light and let it help guide us through the navigational journey of life.

Kids films, the genre to watch
There are a lot of great movie genres out there for people to enjoy but to me none of them are as great as the kid movie genre. Children's movies in my opinion are the best genre going today in cinema, They're creative, action packed, funny, have a compelling story to keep you entertained throughout it's duration and often times provide a wonderful message that many kids can walk away with and benefit from.
This is not to slight any of the other movie genre's out there as well because they are in their own right very good to watch and to be entertained by, however, it is this genre in particular to me that I find stands out from the rest.
Kids films have a special way of incorporating so many different elements from other movie genre's and putting them together to make a wonderful viewing experience for it's main targeted audience. Take a movie like 2014's smash hit film the lego movie for example, a great film with many different elements incorporated into it that makes for a wonderful children's movie. Its incorporation of action, humor, great storytelling, great imagery and not to mention a great meaningful message that all kids can walk away with, makes it a truly fantastic film for any young child to watch and enjoy.
The lego movie is not the only film however, that incorporates all of these different elements into them and does so seemlessly. Movies like wreck it ralph, the toy story franchise and a film like Tangled all incorporate those great elements as well to make for a wonderful cinematic ride.
What I find charming about children's movies are their captivating ability to be so relatable to it's core audience, whether it stories of overcoming obstacles, loving yourself, going on an adventure it has very relatable themes that many kids can appreciate and find very similar to their everyday experiences, giving them good perspective on life and how to deal with specific experiences.
Children's films can encourage kids when they doubt themselves, help them with their imaginations, show them the strenght that comes with being yourself, and how to showcase bravery in the face of fear. The incorporation of those good messages playing as the themes to many of these kinds of films helps give substance and meaningful depth through it's entertaining visuals. Kids can walk away from a children's movie being inspired, motivated, having to learn tough life lessons and being uplifted which is exactly what any parent who has a child would want them to gain from that cinematic experience.
Kids aren't the only audience that can enjoy these films however, many parents seem to enjoy them as well, and honestly who could blame them. When you see a film you simply want to be entertained by them, you also want them to have a compelling story and for many people they just want to be moved by it and children films do just that. In many ways it is also these kinds of films that serve almost as a trip down memory lane for some parents where they might be reminded of a time when they were in the same exact shoes as a particular character on-screen, rekindle thoughts of times when they were afraid in life but had to overcome that fear, or just a time when parents weren't afraid to be adventurous or just a little bit insecure about who they were. Movies such as these almost serve a time capsule being played out through the visual screen, reminding all young adults and adults alike of what it was once like to be a kid but most importantly what it's like to feel like one as well.
Kids movies have an ability if given the chance to pull out your inner child and play up to the mental dynamics that you set forth thereafter. Another aspect that I truly appreciate is their ongoing consistency of being good quality films that are entertaining for all ages to watch, when going to see these types of films,you can be rest assured that you will most likely get your money's worth for not only your child and but for you as well. Seeing an animated character having to learn from a life lesson or overcome an obstacle is not much more different than us as people constantly having to do the same in our everyday lives.
One of the things that I really love about these movies as well is their ability to remain fresh and innovative, movies from Pixar and Disney always seem to be provide a new creative and inventive concept and stories to delve into that children can easily dive right into, the same can't also be said for other movie genres who at times have a hard times garnering and generating a new creative idea for a new upcoming film.
Even though I am no longer a young male adolescent and as currently constituted stand as a full on adult now I can still revel in the imagination, storytelling, imagery and wonder that these kinds of films excel at with the profound lesson being sent to the viewer who watches being the proverbial Cherie on top of the Sunday. To be a fan of Children's movies you don't have to be a kid, mainly because kids movies can be relatable to anyone who watches them with an open mind, they're very easy to get into are extremely easy on the eyes visually they can open up the wonders of your past memories of adolescence, captivate you in it's adventure and move you with it's profound and useful message.
This genre of movies for me is the most consistent, imaginative, and most accessible of all the movie genres, I can even venture that it's the most say underrated one as well, as it appeals to all age brackets and demographics who watch these films. If you want to watch a movie there's many to choose from but if you were to choose from a particular genre, take it someone who loves them more often than not you can't go wrong with a kid's film.

Your valued worrth lays in wait
What is your valued worth? well in my own estimation it is anything you deem it to be and have the power to turn it into, as the power of your showcased greatness lies in your hands. Each distinct person truthfully has a purposeful role all while we each in our own way provide something wonderfully different and great, and can give back to the society in which we live in in our very own distinct ways. giving back can come in many different forms such as voting and getting others active in the voting process and in your own way making a change through that scale, or you can give of yourself by being charitable and giving back to those in need.
Many others may impact this society in different ways some in a smaller sense whether it means being a garbage man or mail man and other on a larger one such as going into the health profession and giving back by being doctors and nurses or simply through other high end occupations such as being an architect, lawyer, engineer or accountant, or by taking it a step further by going to other countries in need and aiding others in whatever way you can, whatever the contribution you apply whether it's one of the ones that I mentioned above or your something else you choose to do , we each have a purposeful hidden contribution to give forth to this society that benefits it for the better.
If you haven't found your purposeful reasoning yet, it's okay, you still can. As it stands already you are currently something important to somebody else out there, so within those confines of mental reasoning you already are in essence valuable. We as human beings are more than just one thing whether it's a son or daughter, best friend, brother or sister, nephew or niece or granddaughter or grandson or husband and wife, we've already impacted the lives of other people just through are mere existence.
The next step is capitalizing off of the given existence we have been provided and finding our own ways of benefiting others around us on a broader scope and benefiting our growth in the process. Those who give of themselves for the benefit of others such as soldiers, policemen or firefighters, better this society as a whole, and impact the lives of other in a profound way. The choice of your made up decision of how you may wish to do the same it may not be through those occupations but you may find your meaning in other ways where it eventually may provide your own met distinction and therefore give you your valued worth.
Everybody has a worth as one person each one of us is the equivalent of a small puzzle piece that needs your connection to set the scene to the overall bigger puzzle piece. You may not think your piece matters but in terms of its finished look it needs your included piece as it relies on your missing piece too, for it's total completion. In terms of value each one of us have one, we may not know what it is as of yet but we all will someday, as we all have a chance to compound off of that value and truly make something special out of it. how you make it special is all up to you but the important thing is that you can, now the only question left is, whether you will or not?
I myself can certainly do more to find that missing value and do my part and so can everybody else as it lifts up the spirit of not only yourself but others in desperate need of it as well. Through our beings there is a significance to who we are and within the scope of that meaning there is a value of unseen potential greatness waiting to be unleashed, with space being given through time a value can emerge in sudden blooming presence, now some of us may lose our way and and others may be lost at this present moment but we can always find our way back to the light once again, but with each existence I truly believe there is an importance that we can attach on to it where we give more power than we ever thought imaginable to others that can wonderfully benefit off of it. We each have a valued worth the most important is first knowing that you have one and second is knowing how to apply it to others in the world. It is then and only then that it shines out to the world lighting it up that much brighter and bettering society in the process.
Many others may impact this society in different ways some in a smaller sense whether it means being a garbage man or mail man and other on a larger one such as going into the health profession and giving back by being doctors and nurses or simply through other high end occupations such as being an architect, lawyer, engineer or accountant, or by taking it a step further by going to other countries in need and aiding others in whatever way you can, whatever the contribution you apply whether it's one of the ones that I mentioned above or your something else you choose to do , we each have a purposeful hidden contribution to give forth to this society that benefits it for the better.

Dreams, we have them for a reason
Dreams we all have them, they're what were passionate about, have a desire to achieve in life and in many cases they're simply what we just can't live without.
The content of what we dream to be in life varies from person to person in specifics, but not in importance or in meaning. We feel that through the acquiring of that dream that we grow, improve as beings and better ourselves as a whole. It does beg the question however can we live without them, and a follow up second question as to whether or not we are better off by not having them if that particular goal seems to be an unattainable one to acquire?
I can only speak for myself when I say that while yes, you can live without dreams, it does benefit you not to, all of our lives we search for reasons that make our existence matter, we ask ourselves the all mighty powerful question as to why we suddenly get thrusted into planet earth and why we are even here to begin with. A question that is often times answered through initiated scope of our dreams, the specific road that we are destined to embark upon. A dream holds the power of our distinction, our reasoning, and sometimes even our still unformed evolution.
Through dreams we show aspirations, desire, resiliency, passion and a commitment within the particular confines of what that goal symbolizes. Through that we garner a merited purpose, an unsymbolized meaning to who we are and what we represent as people. This gives life it's own reasoning and meaning as to what it represents in theory. As life can be the metaphorical obstacle course that sets the stage for our desired conquest, guiding us to our self completion.
To use a sports metaphor life is the season, and we are just the players on center stage thriving for the conquest of our acquired championship. The bad days, sudden obstacles we impose or is imposed on us by society is both the obstacle and the opponents that keeps us from winning it all.With a dream comes our purpose and makes life the adventure to our end result. Many of us navigate our lives through our dreams, it sets the model of not only what we want to be but who we wish to become.
In movies we love the happy ending where everything comes out right in the end, well in this reality with life as the stage, dreams provide that happy ending not in a movie but in reality's set stage. The long road of hard work is created by us, written through us and directed through each of us where after all of your sacrifice and commitment we provide the triumphant end.
The reason I feel it is important to dream is simply because where are we without them if we don't?What are we striving for in our life's destination? Dreams providing a measure of expectation provides a meaningful direction to where we yearn to end up, and where we altogether wish to be, which is within itself a very powerful and precious gift that we give to ourselves. Through that direction the journey we embark on is that much more impactful and that much more important.
We can live without dreams but the same way that living without hope and faith can make life more of a bare to appreciably get through, so can living without any dreams to someday accomplish. A dream is a hope we all wish to complete and by completing it we complete ourselves in the process. It is the prize in the journey of our lives a prize that in many cases defines us whether it be through eventual formed characteristics or in set definition.
Society is left better off through our meaningful dreams, and the more variety we produce in our goals the more balanced in beauty and distinction this world therefore becomes. I strongly believe we are better off for dreaming no matter the difficulty of the acquired prize it is the essence of what it represents that symbolizes its intention. What is difficult to attain is that much more meaningful when you finally possess it.
We are all blessed to be here for unknown specific reasons, dreams sometimes provide the clarity to those reasons the guided purpose of our traveled destiny. In dreaming we show a profound belief in ourselves in which we take a task, strive to achieve it the best way we know how, through the disagreed belief by some that we may not successfully accomplish that particular task, and we push ourselves to our farthest limitations possible. In turn seeing in us a remarkable view of certain innate character possessions we might not have even known we at all had beforehand. I am proud to be a dreamer, happy to have both a belief in myself and something to believe in. With it I'm striving for something truly precious and conclusively meaningful towards to who and what I represent that can't be measured in terms of opinions or financial worth, but rather in self distinction and self contention with who I am and where I stand in life, and that can't be any more valuable in its computed weight and scope.
Dream, it's okay to, not only is it good for you and the direction you may someday take your life to, society is better off for it in the long run if you do. You just pursuing your dreams may inspire someone else to and many good things have certainly transpired due to one's wishful optimism to just simply dream. It may be hard to but let's face it most things in life worth getting annoyingly tend to be that way unfortunately, but that doesn't mean that the prize at the end isn't at all worth getting, because it is. When you have a dream it's not a matter of it being hard or you being worried or scared as to whether or not you can achieve your particular goal or goals. Dreams are about having something to believe in, a passion that makes life that much more meaningful, beautiful, and worth living for while excitingly maintaining your stay here on earth, and having a profound challenge worth conquering in your quest for it, as you continue to mold yourself to a set definition furthering yourself in advancements through the chase of those awaiting accomplishments.

We can live without dreams but the same way that living without hope and faith can make life more of a bare to appreciably get through, so can living without any dreams to someday accomplish. A dream is a hope we all wish to complete and by completing it we complete ourselves in the process. It is the prize in the journey of our lives a prize that in many cases defines us whether it be through eventual formed characteristics or in set definition.
Society is left better off through our meaningful dreams, and the more variety we produce in our goals the more balanced in beauty and distinction this world therefore becomes. I strongly believe we are better off for dreaming no matter the difficulty of the acquired prize it is the essence of what it represents that symbolizes its intention. What is difficult to attain is that much more meaningful when you finally possess it.
We are all blessed to be here for unknown specific reasons, dreams sometimes provide the clarity to those reasons the guided purpose of our traveled destiny. In dreaming we show a profound belief in ourselves in which we take a task, strive to achieve it the best way we know how, through the disagreed belief by some that we may not successfully accomplish that particular task, and we push ourselves to our farthest limitations possible. In turn seeing in us a remarkable view of certain innate character possessions we might not have even known we at all had beforehand. I am proud to be a dreamer, happy to have both a belief in myself and something to believe in. With it I'm striving for something truly precious and conclusively meaningful towards to who and what I represent that can't be measured in terms of opinions or financial worth, but rather in self distinction and self contention with who I am and where I stand in life, and that can't be any more valuable in its computed weight and scope.
Dream, it's okay to, not only is it good for you and the direction you may someday take your life to, society is better off for it in the long run if you do. You just pursuing your dreams may inspire someone else to and many good things have certainly transpired due to one's wishful optimism to just simply dream. It may be hard to but let's face it most things in life worth getting annoyingly tend to be that way unfortunately, but that doesn't mean that the prize at the end isn't at all worth getting, because it is. When you have a dream it's not a matter of it being hard or you being worried or scared as to whether or not you can achieve your particular goal or goals. Dreams are about having something to believe in, a passion that makes life that much more meaningful, beautiful, and worth living for while excitingly maintaining your stay here on earth, and having a profound challenge worth conquering in your quest for it, as you continue to mold yourself to a set definition furthering yourself in advancements through the chase of those awaiting accomplishments.

Teen Wolf Movie review
Favorites, we all have them whether it's a favorite artist, favorite movie, favorite food, or just a favorite album we love and enjoy listening to time and time again. This brings me to my topic of discussion in which I discuss one of my favorite movies of all time in the movie, Teen Wolf.
This movie follows the life of Scott Howard a struggling high school student yearning for a change in his everyday ho hum life. He yearns for the affections of attractive girl names Pamela, even though he already has the affections of a childhood friend named boof who secretly really likes him for who he is and for being an all around nice guy, and who scott likes as well but is very much head over heels over Pamela based off of the massive crush he has on her.
Scott has his fair share of problems his high school basketball team stinks, he doesn't stand out from the rest of the crowd and the girl that he wants to be with is already taken,to make matters worse he's going through some changes in his life and, no I'm not talking about puberty, he's slowly but surely turning into a teenage werewolf, this type of change is a very unique and uncommon one for any young male adolescent his age but for me helps make the movie what it is. What is it you ask a fun 80's film that while cheesy and somewhat simple with its overall premise is a good film with an equally good heart attached to it.
Now is this the best movie that I've ever seen? well No. Is it a landmark production in movie making absolutely not, but what it is to me is a nostalgia rush, a love letter to the 1980's style and music and a film that is always fun to go back and revisit.
Why is it one of my favorite films you may ask? the reason it is, mainly has to do with the message that I feel the movie helps you walk away with, and that message is to appreciate what you have and appreciate who you are even though it may not look like you don't have it all. Scott may not be the popular kid in school, or like where his life is headed but he has a great father, good friends, and a very nice girl he can talk to about anything, in heinsight that's not too shabby. Not everyone is going to be the most popular or even liked by that many people, but it's the appreciation from the ones who love you and for the person that you are that helps you see yourself in the best light possible, and I think that this movie relays that message home perfectly.
You can't have it all and sometimes when you do it can be very stressful and overwhelming to deal with all that may come with it, as with great power comes great responsibility and what I love about this film is that it stresses that message wonderfully. Another strength of this movie is the lead actor who plays scott, Michael J. Fox. What I love about Fox is his ability to be so relatable to the viewing audience, and his masterful job of pulling on one's emotional heart strings through the look of his feelings and emotions. In this particular film he's able to make you happy for his successes, saddened for his personal trials and tribulations, mad at those who bring forth and negative conflict towards him, and a smile for the triumph he's able to attain.
Fox is able to relate to the common man perfectly which automatically is able to draw in the most casual of viewers to his story, and with a film already being so relatable in it's universal themes of acceptance and searching for self confidence, his portrayal as the everyday young struggling male is exactly what gives this film it's charm. It also doesn't hurt that Michael J. Fox is a really likeable character and actor in almost any film that he does, showcasing that innate ability wonderfully in this movie as he shines in this role as the somewhat sympathetic character you can easily get behind and can't help but to root on.
The supporting actors in this movie play their roles well and give a good balance to the film in the process. His father does a job as his support system helping him deal with his recent transformation, to help him see the error of his ways when he messes up and to be there for him when fox's character needs it the most. Boof his childhood friend lends a really good touch to the film as the sweet easy to the talk to best friend who is quick to lend a sympathetic ear to all of Howard's problems. Mark Arnold meanwhile plays the the uptight bully who constantly looks down on Howard, and views him as nothing more than a freak, does a good job in playing the antagonist throughout the entire film.
This movie may not be for everybody and I can certainly understand if it's not your particular cup of tea. I however find this movie to be a great film, due to its theme that underlines the overall message of its wonderful story and meaning which is to be comfortable in your own skin and to embrace what makes you who you are. It's relatable, heartwarming and just a really fun film to sit down and watch. I for one highly recommend viewing it if you have the time, as I give it two thumbs up.

Defining Success
How do you define success? You would think that the answer would be, well rather simple, achieving success to many would be to prosperously position yourself with a luxurious job stretching that out into a prosperous career with good financial backing. The more money you can consume it feels like the more successful you become, Right, well not necessarily. I for one can completely vouch for one's happiness leading to their successes in life, a passion in striving for greatness within that particular en-devour leading to your impending happiness and succeeding in life.
Different goals and desires I believe define different people an aspiring painter yearning to be an accomplished artist is just as determined for success as an aspiring nurse, the same way a talented musician striving for a recording contract is just as passionate as a striving engineer. The difference is one being more lucrative than the other and more important to the society we inhabit, but the value in the particular goal truthfully rivals each other in comparison.
It is important to keep in mind that what we perceive as achieving true success is a very subjective matter, with differing opinion that can be discussed and waged on the issue.I believe to succeed is to achieve, and quite honestly that can vary quite a bit, success varies from person to person, a successful life differs from one mind to the next and it always has. What may be a goal for one person may not be a goal for another. Those who do not chase the high end and prestigious occupations should not be looked down upon but in my belief rather respected for not taking the conventional route to an achieved success based off of other perceived notions of what success actually is, that while prestigious and important are not the only ways to better society as a whole.Every distinct provided purpose that each one of us possesses within our existence makes this society as a whole better off for it.
A nurse,architect, engineer, and lawyer are all needed in this society that we live in, but the construction workers who build the buildings that people work in, the musicians who provide the eacape for those who need it including those who work in the occupations I mentioned above and the authors and actors who make a living at their craft can provide an escape from life's harsh times and realities that we many times love to escape into. There is a hierarchy to life but regardless of what's on the top or the bottom all the roles in that hierarchy need to be filled for the balancing of this society overall greatness. The same way everyone has a purpose is the same way every occupation has one as well. Each goal has a meaning that why dreams I guess are so important to us and why people's dreams differs for different specific reasons, it's a way of realizing our potential and having are will and determination gets us to unforseen heights we didn't think were possible, proving that they have a spot on earth's canvas just as much as they do in our imaginations.
We shouldn't look down on those who dream differently then we do when it is just as meaningful for them to dreams for the life goals they yearn to accomplish just as much as it is for you to dream the way you do. It has been said before that life is a play with each of us having a role in it, so wouldn't that make the play less impactful if one person wasn't performing theirs? Each one of us serving a distinct purpose benefits society and improves it for the better and with each one of us serving our roles to the best of our abilities we set the standard for the newer generations to come to do the exact same.
Success is what you make it to be, if it includes your own self happiness and contention to your existence, then aren't you at the end of the day living a successful life, I think so and honestly so should anyone else.

the purposeful mystery
Life is the still unraveled mystery we constantly wish to comprehend, yet as we charge to find its missing answers in unknown whereabouts the deeper it thickens in its enigma of confusion. We altogether yearn for the most part to elude its needless confused notion, rather to refer to its logical reasoning. The need for its understanding leads us to needing to confirm our place in its given canvas, all the way to the sound knowledge of why and how distinct circumstances transpire for certain unclear purposes to our known wisdom with it often looming large.
The heavy toll of a mysterious view that we encompass with an existence that perfectly captures our essence incessantly wonders and also wanders for a perfected and sound knowledge of life. This state of enticement for what doesn't appear apparent makes our mental hunger for its hidden truth that much more palpable in its relevancy. It is however that hidden distinction that gives life a certain profoundly relevant aura that further broadens as we develop in our own processed human growth.
It is that very mystery that blossoms our wherewithal of the processed cycle of life, our furthered understanding of our specific place in this societal landscape and why each of our existences has a purpose and lastly why life itself has a distinct and auspiciously profound meaning. We would love to have the meaning of life all figured out, yet there's a beauty of connecting the pieces of its invisible worth that makes it a very alluring mystery that is quite honestly very fulfilling is its invisible scope.

Make your judgement the only one
Perceived Judgements don't at all start your pondered discussion what you cordially represent does, your self knowledge of what you represent and why it beautifully matters to you starts your formal discussion, while the unfurling and blossoming view your conclusively meant to somehow and someday present gloriously just finishes it.
The representation of the qualities that you put forth now and in future days ahead makes your existence an all important meaning still progressing in the current portrait of the snapshot picture you right now exude.
You therefore stand as a blossoming structured human being with more to simplistically offer than just a primitive physical look made to appear in a stance. A wondered being filled with so much diversity and complexity that varies, alters, and like clay is made to be carefully molded into the finished piece of crafted art that its meant to become when further sculpted through time. That while quiet to others rings very loudly in one's heart, and that should shine with an unheralded glow to one's mind in one's proper personal set time frame.
Your judgement is made to be an unfinished and incomplete thought as it strides in the marathon of your elusive search for total self completion, sound to your very own reasoning is where its logic shines the brightest, Making it resoundingly difficult for others to truly define the distinct definition of your own light, guesses and best attempted assumptions can't passively do it for you and doesn't properly exhibit you correctly as a beginning and finished noted thought. The reason for that is due to that light only being able to be personally measured in self contention and garnered self appreciation, where only then can it truly resonate in all its set glory.
The key for the definition lies within the confines of the mind, thoughts to be opened later on like an unread letter in the soul of your hearts external spirit. No one else other than you can provide the intricate details that makes your unique existence a grand created distinct expression found in your own computed human nature. Your self resonance lies within you so why leave the inaccurate representation in the allotted hands of someone else's provocation, when they can't define you as good and as profoundly thorough as you can, as your continuing to fully craft your still ongoing concrete self meaning.
It may not be completed but the words to your unfinished statement and the resonance of your yet to be completed thought will garner the missing words and will showcase the full completed shine of your light, so in the meantime don't let your star's sparkling light get dwindled in the perceived declared judgements of others non clarity, when its you who holds the metaphorical batteries to your essentially formed glimmering star.

Hey Oscar, what about us
Let me start off by saying that I love what the Oscars represent to the film making academy, to cinema and to the actors and directors themselves. I will however say the Oscars aren't perfect and while I won't point all but one of those imperfections, there is one however that I strongly feel that I must touch on, and for me that is the lack of appreciation for great and very entertaining action movies. I get it, action movies may not have the most depth in telling a story nor does it provide vital educational tidbits to expand the knowledge of the human mind, and may often times have a thinly layered plot, but as an artform that is part of the lucrative movie institution it plays a major role in the amount of income brought in each year by the American public at large.
Adding on to this is the fact that it is probably the most popular of the movie genres in cinema today, and with a year that features such great action movies such as Kingmen the secret service, Avengers Age of Ultron, and the recently released Mad Mad fury road, it begs the question why isn't there more love for this particular and popular movie genre. I understanding spreading out the attention that movies get to other genres and acknowledging each great movie from particular one but why isn't there more love for this particular movie art form. As a result of their sometimes lack of appreciation from the movie academy great movies that should have more attention and even win the coveted best picture award have repeatedly been passed over for more worthy movies deemed more fitting for the reward, and while I can understand why at times it doesn't mean that I fully always agree with it. Movies like The Dark Knight rises and Jdanjo unchained while very deserving of best picture almost always get passed over yet have a lasting legacy in cinematic lure.
I feel this is mainly due to an Oscar theme where independent movies seem to have all the fortune and acclaim and seem to always rule the day, The problem being many movies being nominated for awards are ones that the general audience at large has not yet seen. I do think it's wonderful that the Oscars appreciate the wonderful work of independent movies because they do deserve great recognition for their great work, I still feel however it is a slight to those other genres that bring many to the theaters on a more formal basis and have helped make to cinematic world what it is today.It doesn't feel all that fair to have the highest grossing movie of the year in guardians of the galaxy get completely overshadowed in regards to receiving the proper awards that it deserved, especially considering the amount of acclaim that it garnered from both fans and movie critics alike. With great visuals and a fantastic score to go along with it, an action packed thrill ride like this will often get overlooked for a more understated film with three times less the viewership. Given the simple fact that I love action movies it would be great to see this enjoyable and sometimes terrifically engaging genres get their just due as well, not only the action genres but others as well such as horror and comedy genres. Movies serve many purposes and are viewed and found to be enjoyable for many different reasons it would just be nice if the academy realized that too, instead of being a little too narrow in their focus of what make a great and engaging film.

Anybody but cleveland
Anybody but cleveland
The 2015 Boston Celtics have made the playoffs, which is great for a team nobody really expected that much out of at the beginning of the NBA season. Having so much turnover throughout the season didn't help matters much, especially when trading away two of their best players in Rajon Rondo and Jeff Green who started for the team at the beginning of the season, as they were thought the be the core of a young basketball team. Their eventual trades along with the trades of many other players who had a short stint with the team and basically just came and went made them go from low expectations to no expectations, and only made them a worse team in many people eyes and one that was definitely destined for the lottery, but not so fast, Due to Danny Ainge's effective wheeling and dealing the biggest of his acquisitions coming when landing point guard Isiah Thomas Jr., the Celtics have really surprised a lot of people in not only reaching the playoffs but in playing some of the best basketball out of any team coming down the stretch run of the season.
The big problem however is their first round opponent in the Lebron James led Cleveland cavaliers. A team in many people's mind that are destined to make it all the way to the NBA finals this year. Making the cavaliers a really difficult first round foe for the Boston Celtics to not only have to contend with but to also vanquish as well. We should all commend the Celtics (unless you absolutely hate them) for the amount of growth, hard work and effort that the players and the coaching staff have put into the season and for getting this far so quickly. This series however just has a melancholy feel to it, in which if you're a celtics fan you want them to win and your happy that they're actually in the playoffs but you just have a feeling that this surprisingly feel good season that has felt like a magical carpet ride that they've been able to produce is about to come to an expected end.
The Celtics know they're facing an uphill climb facing an offensive powerhouse like the cavaliers who have three of the best players in the series, and while they will fight and maybe even win a couple games, it is truly hard for any basketball fan or any Celtics fan for that matter being able to see them conquer and eliminate the highly touted Cleveland Cavaliers in this first round match up.
It has to be mentioned however that while they may not win they due have a core of good young players and a system of sharing the basketball that will help them throughout the series that I feel with make them a pesky out. In the end however I just feel like the Cavs just might be too much for this resilliant Celtics team. I also feel that their chances of getting out of the first round would of been even greater had they matched up against the Atlanta Hawks a team that plays a similar style to the Celtics and a team that the Celtics have faired very well against in their head to head matchups. No matter how long the stay in the playoffs for this celtics is a couple things are definate this Celtics team should be very proud of how the season they've had and the character they've shown. As for the future of this team it's looking pretty bright, and basketball in Boston is now fun once again, and that's all you can ask for out of a still developing and maturing basketball team.

The big problem however is their first round opponent in the Lebron James led Cleveland cavaliers. A team in many people's mind that are destined to make it all the way to the NBA finals this year. Making the cavaliers a really difficult first round foe for the Boston Celtics to not only have to contend with but to also vanquish as well. We should all commend the Celtics (unless you absolutely hate them) for the amount of growth, hard work and effort that the players and the coaching staff have put into the season and for getting this far so quickly. This series however just has a melancholy feel to it, in which if you're a celtics fan you want them to win and your happy that they're actually in the playoffs but you just have a feeling that this surprisingly feel good season that has felt like a magical carpet ride that they've been able to produce is about to come to an expected end.
The Celtics know they're facing an uphill climb facing an offensive powerhouse like the cavaliers who have three of the best players in the series, and while they will fight and maybe even win a couple games, it is truly hard for any basketball fan or any Celtics fan for that matter being able to see them conquer and eliminate the highly touted Cleveland Cavaliers in this first round match up.
It has to be mentioned however that while they may not win they due have a core of good young players and a system of sharing the basketball that will help them throughout the series that I feel with make them a pesky out. In the end however I just feel like the Cavs just might be too much for this resilliant Celtics team. I also feel that their chances of getting out of the first round would of been even greater had they matched up against the Atlanta Hawks a team that plays a similar style to the Celtics and a team that the Celtics have faired very well against in their head to head matchups. No matter how long the stay in the playoffs for this celtics is a couple things are definate this Celtics team should be very proud of how the season they've had and the character they've shown. As for the future of this team it's looking pretty bright, and basketball in Boston is now fun once again, and that's all you can ask for out of a still developing and maturing basketball team.

A bad day, let's face it we all get them, agonize over each excruciating second, minute and hour that we have to toil in our misery over that 24 hour time span. It can be frustrating to have to endure through bad circumstance after bad circumstance that we find ourselves stationed into, and to have that agonizing period of time feel like it takes forever to ultimately go away. I mean who wants to go through an unsatisfying day where you're completely miserable, have to withstand various situations throughout the day where you face consistent bad luck and absolutely nothing at all seems to go your way.
I think it's say to say that we've all been there, I certainly have, where the thought of switching to another planet all of a sudden doesn't sound like such a bad or insane far fetched idea. Like all things however it takes the bad to really appreciate the good, for instance it takes a villain to appreciate the hero, a jerk to appreciate a kind soul and a cloudy rainy day to happily appreciate a bright and sunny one. You can't have the good without the bad and you can can't have the bad without the good.
We may face the obstacles that make life seem like a complete and utter bare to have to deal with at times, but were in turn rewarded with the precious glorious days that make life worth living and it may just be a test to make us all stronger people. So remember if today is just one of those days where your stuck having a tough and horrible 24 hour timespan that at times can be unavoidable, do remmeber that it will not last, will go away, and will eventually feel like a fading memory in the grand sheme of things. Keep in mind that the universe eventually balances things out, so chances actually are facing a bad day sets up an even better one tommorrow, so just hang in there, believe in those better days arriving and they happily will.

Things are looking up for the Celtics
It appears to be a new day for my Boston Celtics, coming right off an 89-88 victory over eastern conference title contenders the Atlanta Hawks. Hawks with a east leading record of 43-11 are easily the surprise team in the entire league this year. Playing with a San Antonio style where each player gets a touch due to consistent ball movement and a principle of sharing the basketball, they've really been a wonderful surprise team in the NBA this season. Although right now I don't think the hawks are flying under anybody's radar anymore. The Hawks coming into the season did not have high expectations, yet through their teamwork and commitment to excellence they've truly making a case for representing the eastern conference in the NBA finals this year.
The Celtics however have not been as great and as consistent as the hawks but are suddenly rounding into shape very well. it took a while and quite a few trades but with some time it appears as if these players are really finding their groove together as a team. Yes they do not have the best record in the world and they are still currently 10th in the east right now but it's the way they're playing for one another, by sharing the ball, listening to 2nd year coach Brad Stevens and getting after it defensively that has really caught my eye.
The Celtics are still a work in progress but are certainly heading in the right direction as is evident by the great suprising victory over the hawks on Wednesday. down by 18 earlier on in the game they showed a true grit that quite honestly has been there all year, say what you will about the team but resilientcy is certainly the word that this current celtics team represents. as the game wore on they took Atlanta's best shot and persevered through it to win it in grand fashion with Evan Turners impressive game winning shot.
They're still a lot of games left in the season but with great contributions from players like Jarred Sullinger, Avery bradley, Evan Turner, and Marcus Smart things are looking very promising for this scrappy up and coming basketball team.
