Yesterday, I saw Nike’s new advertisement for the 2010 World Cup. You can watch it here:
I really like the ad, especially the Wayne Rooney section where he pictures his life defined by a bad play and makes the decision to change it.
I’ve been thinking a lot about our life stories or our personal narratives over [...]
I had a long layover at the Denver airport and spent most of that time watching the Duke/Baylor game. It was an incredibly exciting game, the score close throughout most of it. It wasn’t until the last few moments where Duke really pulled ahead. The commentators continued to mention it…
“Second Chance Points”
Duke missed its first [...]
I had a nice workout today. After having my trainer kick my butt with some challenging lifts, I spent an hour doing cardio, listening to most recent episode of This American Life. I really enjoy listening to a podcast while on an elliptical. I don’t have to lower my intensity level so I can hold [...]
I hope you enjoy the latest video from my Consider This series. I’ll try to keep these coming.
Like many of you, I slept in today and enjoyed a lazy morning, a relaxed breakfast, watching a few minutes of Golden Globe highlights, and checking facebook. It’s obvious from status updates that many are enjoying a day off from school, or, in a few cases, work.
I fear though that as we enjoy this time [...]
Last night I watched The Blind Side. I found the film to a nice contrast to many movies out there today. Incredibly hopeful, and still somewhat unexpected. If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend watching it.
But you can see from the title of this blog entry, it isn’t about The Blind Side. It’s about [...]
I flew on Air Canada to Toronto on Monday. It’s my second time on that particular airline and I’m way impressed. In addition to being incredibly clean and spacious (I was seated at the far back of the plane), every seat also included on-demand video of a variety of films, television shows, and even music. [...]
As I mentioned in my last post, “Halo (part 1),” I celebrated “Guys Night” with a group of my friends back in San Jose last week. The newest version of Halo had come out, and my friends wanted to celebrate. I pretty awful at videogames these days, but I like that group of guys, so [...]
A few weeks ago, I read a really positive review of Steve-O: Demise & Rise on Entertainment Weekly’s website. It happened to be on MTV2 last night, so I sat down and watched it. The documentary focuses on the popular member of the Jackass crew as he plummets into a seemingly unending downward spiral of [...]
I’m sitting in my hotel room in Rockford, IL counting down my departure to a friend’s wedding. I thoroughly enjoyed sleeping in this morning (although I technically woke up about the same time in California), but nonetheless, it is nice when the clock says it’s 10am and you are just rolling out of bed.
As I [...]
