Mets Meltdown or Clincher

Are the New York Mets having a major meltdown for the National League East clincher? The New York Mets were having a great season, until the last couple of weeks. They lost the last five straight games and this put them out of first place since May 15. What happened to the amazing Mets? Friday night, September 28, 2007, Pitcher Oliver Perez hit two batters with bases loaded and coughed up six runs. Mets are in a disaster and need to come out of it right away or they are going to blow an opportunity of a life time. They will not be able to be in the playoffs this year. They are nearly out of first place and out of time if they do not get their act together. There has been no major league team that has blown such a big lead in such a short time.

The New York Mets still have time to clinch the title for the National League East and they are a team that will do it. The Mets are still in a good position to do it and they have the support of their fans. Every game will be exciting to watch and if any team could do it, the Mets can come back and will come back to clinch the NL East. The Mets still have a good chance and they need to work hard to get to where they were in the beginning of the season. The Mets will make the playoffs and they will show the public that they can do it. They do not want to be in a meltdown situation, instead they will come out playing hard ball and make the other teams freeze in their position.

I think the New York Mets probably will not have enough time to come back and clinch the National League East. They have been playing horrible ball and making stupid mistakes. They are not in a good position to even be a contender for the wild-card race, either. They are on the brink of collapse and are having one of their longest losing streaks. I think it is going to be hard to come back from this. No team has ever come back from such a long losing streak, that I do not think the Mets will overcome and clinch. They are on a major meltdown and I feel they will stay there. There goes the amazing Mets!

Memories - lost forever or remembered forever

Memories are good and bad experiences that you recall from you brain. Memories are what keeps us going in life. Memories are often accompanied by feelings and emotions. Everything we learn becomes a memory. We reflect on the nature of memory every single day. Memories feel so realistic that it is the best feeling in the world. Every day occurences become tomorrow's memories. Memory is time that is continuous, through which the present and the past are intertwined together. Some people have a photograhic memory and remember whatever they see, through their eyes. Others have memories that they recall when reading something for the first time and then remembering everything they read. Memories are images that feel so good inside you and make you want to talk about them with other people.

On the other hand, memories could be misplaced or lost or some form of amnesia. Some people suffer from memory lost and get so frustrated because every thing seems to be the first time for them instead of having a memory or an experience that they should remember. Sometimes we have to search for memory which is not a good encounter. Some people suffer from memory impairment and their brain just loses the storage of the memory. This must be a horrible event to live through. Hopefully with treatment, people could get back their memories. Memories are such a part of your life that someone with a memory loss probably would not feel like a whole person.

I feel memories are good and I am so glad that I have so many to share and express to my family and friends. Just thinking about my memories of high school, friends or my grandfather that just passed away this December brings such joy to my face. I love to reflect on the nature of memory when I am alone at night in my bed. I love to think about everything and everyone that comes to my mind either from my day-to-day experiences or to recall memories from my past experiences. I seem to remember the good and block the bad incidents. Memories are stored in our brain and we all have long-term memories and short-term memories. I am glad that we have both to stumble upon. There is nothing like a feeling of leaving your house and forgetting where you put your car keys. I do this all the time, so I think I already have short-term memory loss, but I just make a joke of it. Memories become your best friend and they are great to reminisce.

What come around, goes around? Carma for OJ Simpson

OJ Simpson is in the news again. He is being charged for armed robbery with kidnapping charges. OJ got away with murder over ten years ago, but looks like he will serve time in jail now. He charged into a hotel room to claim what he thinks is his sports memorabilia, but obviously it does not belong to him any longer. Simpson and three other people that also had a gun at the scene, will face a total of 11 charges and could possible send him to prison for the rest of his life. What comes around, goes around. Isn't it something, carma ususally comes back and bites you. He dodged the "trial of the century" when he was accused of murdering his wife and friend, but now has to fight again for his life. Simpson believes he did nothing wrong, but the public is tired of hearing the same old story. Everyone feels he is arrogant and deserves whatever he gets. Hopefully alot of jail time.

OJ Simpson became famous as a football player many years ago. He does like the limelight and just because he was acquitted for the murder of his wife and Ron Goldman over ten years ago, why should the public believe he is guilty already, without hearing his side of the story. Maybe all the sports memorabilia really does belong to him. Maybe the person in the hotel room in Las Vegas was trying to sell it to make money. At one point or another OJ did own those collectibles, so why is he being accused of kidnapping and armed robbery. People should think before they react to what is in the news, not everything is a true statement. There is always two sides to a story and OJ will have his day in court to tell his side.

I feel OJ Simpson got away with murder and is definately a criminal. He belonged in jail over ten years ago and now I hope he is found guilty and goes away for the rest of his life. I think carma came back to haunt him and he will get what he deserves.

Double Standard for Hollywood People

Snoop Dogg escapes jail term. Is it because he is famous or it because he has money to buy his way out of jail? Snoop Dogg is a famous rapper, who is real name is Calvin Broadus. He was arrested for possession of an offensive weapon (baton) at Joyne Wayne Airport in Orange County in 2006. He did plead guilty of one count of felony possession. Snoop Dog only received community service, around 160 hours. Is this crazy? Just because he is a famous rapper, why should he escape jail time? If you commit a crime, you should do the time. Many people feel that Snoop Dogg should have served some jail time.

On the other hand, Snoop Dogg is a famous artist and he should stick to making music and performing, this is what he does best. After all, he was only carrying a collapsible baton. The public does not feel that he was going to do something bad with the weapon. His goal is to make music, not court appearances. He also does alot of charity work and appeared on the Tonight Show.

My opinion is that the famous rapper should definately serve time in jail. He needs to learn a lesson. He has been in the news many times before for other charges, even murder, so why should we let a criminal do what he wants to do. He was acquitted for murder charges in 1996 after an alleged gang member was gunned down in his vehicle. I would make sure that he never practiced music again and maybe if you take something really important away from him; he will finally start to see the light and change his horrible ways.

Comeback or Comedown of Britney Spears

Hey Guys, it's Ashley. I just watched the MTV Video Music Awards, Sunday night, September 9th. Did you see Britney Spears opening act? Most viewers feel her comeback was a disaster. She could not even lip synch, her dancing was horrendous, and she looked lost on the stage. Most people thought that her body looked horrible and her hair extensions had so many colors in them, that it's not going to fix her shaved head. Most people thought she looked nervous and stiff as a board. She had no self confidence at all. She looked totally psychotic.

Then there was the Britney Spears fans that thought she looked awesome. Her body was in top shape and she strutted her stuff across that stage like she owned it. She sang her new song "Gimme More" and her dedicated fans were yelling back "give me more". Britney has alot of support from her fans and family and she looks great after having two kids. It took alot of guts for her to comeback and give it her all. She did great after all the negative things that were written about her. Brintey is young and beautiful and will get through all the drama. Her fans were so happy to see her back in action and felt her dancing and singing was fantasitc. Britney is back and here to stay.

I feel Britney was just alright. I think she could have done alot better with the choreography. Her debut song was not that good, and she looked really nervous on stage. She should not have worn that outfit because her body will never be the same after having two kids. She still tihnks she can get away with wearing a bra and boy shorts. She has to focus on her career and her two beautiful boys i dont tink they would want to see her like that. Shes a mom now and has to start acting like one. Britney has been getting bad press about everything she does lately, but the news media has to cut her a break because she just had two kids and went through a bad divorce and is tyring to comeback. She has great talent and lot of fans that support her so she should not have trouble coming back and making millions of dollars on her music but she should try to do it more classy.

Why i Write

I write because I am told. I write for my own free will. I write for the person I am. I write for the child I was. I write for the adult I thrive to be. I write to express myself. I write to my loved ones looking down at the pages. I write to the heavens. I write to hell. I write when I am enraged. I write to remember moments with close friends. I write to remember the yesterdays. I write to find the building blocks I need to succeed. I write when I am in pursuit of a goal. I write when I am enlightened. I write when there are no thoughts. I write when there are thoughts bombarding my head. I write to settle unfinished disputes. I write to cause conflict. I write to strengthen my words. I write to create my own world. I write to make words 3-D. I write to drain the sadness from my eyes. I write for people that are to coward to speak up. I write to stand out. I write to blend in. I write to make peace with my past. I write to discover what my mind holds. I write to stand up for what I believe in. I write because it makes me less fearful of what lies ahead. I write for people to remember my good and forgive my mistakes. I write to calm down after a stressful day. I write knowing my words will not completely express what I am saying. I write and write but, still people do not understand me, still do not want to step into my shoes. I realize I can only write for myself, and my own happiness. I realize I have nothing to prove to those people. Why I write is a good question, and the answer is for me.
