Fist Pump Friday

In honor of Memorial Day Weekend (and a little early cause I won't be at a computer tomorrow) - get outside and enjoy the long weekend!!



Maybe your weekend will be a little like this. Maybe not.

Fist Pump Friday

I have not been able to get Rihanna out of my head today. The beat in this song feels laid back and makes me think of the beach. We've been getting enough rain here that is feels a little like a concrete rain forest, but in my mind I'll imagine it's Costa Rica and I'm sitting on a beach.



Hopefully your weekend is laid back and beachy.

And a throwback for you...This was one of my favorite songs sophomore year of college. I can't embed it, but go check it out here.

Oh! And I just can't resist this one in light of tomorrow's predicted rapture.

Fist Pump Friday

Freedom!


And for good measure, lets have a party and all Jump, jump!


Happy weekend!!

This Week in Sports

Thing I liked:

• The Lakers are losing to the Mavericks classlessly. I'm sorry, they're not losing - they were swept. It's a damn shame, really. (NOT!) (This is also the first time Phil Jackson had a team that was swept. He is now retiring.)
  

Things I didn't like:

• We still don't know if the owners and players will be able to come to a resolution or if the NFL will have a lockout this year. Greedy bastards.
• The NHL playoffs have been rather lack luster as the match ups aren't even close. Two of the four Conference Semifinals were sweeps. The only match up still going is San Jose v. Detroit (Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus). San Jose leads the series 3-2.
  

Things that surprised me:

• They're trying to prove Lance Armstrong is a cheater again. Seriously, hasn't this been settled like three times already?!
• Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick really got into it at this weekend's NASCAR race. At least it breaks up the monotony of lap after lap after lap. Both have now been suspended for four weeks and fined $25K each. Go to about 3:45 in this video - that car really could have hurt someone walking in pit row. Oh, also - shouldn't he be smart enough to know that punching someone in the helmet will probably hurt his hand more than the helmet? Maybe I should write him an educational letter...

A party and an icon. I can't get enough of these songs this week. And they're both so fun! Have an awesome weekend - get outside and get moving!

This Week in Sports

After scouring the web to come up with a story or two to go under "Things I liked:," I just can't find anything. Someone help me out? Post a link to a sports story you liked during the last week.

Things I didn't like:

• Sports news has been pretty quiet lately
• The NHL playoffs seem to be lopsided with the current series at 3-0 (games), 2-0, 2-0 and 2-1. Both one seeds are losing.
• Cam Newton went #1 in the NFL draft. Apparently being a dishonest loser works in his favor. Maybe "loser" isn't the best choice of word there...
  

Things that surprised me:

• Interesting stat - in the NBA, if you are up 2-0 in a best of 7 series, historically your team wins the series 94% of the time. It looks like the Heat are going to make it to the Eastern Conference Championship - they're beating Boston 2-0 currently.
• Rashard Mendenhall made an ass of himself on Twitter on Monday. I totally understand the sentiment he tried to express questioning whether people should celebrate someone being killed, but he said it sooo terribly.
