Forget Free Agency, The Knicks Are The Team To Beat

What Allen Iverson Means To Me

Is  Teixeira really happy or is he dying of anger against himself for not being able to do much so far during this postseason. He’s been 3 for 25 so far and the only time he really did something was when he went 2 for 5 against Minnesota. That was when he delivered a walk-off home run during Game 2, which is his only home run and RBI during this entire postseason.

Can we say he’s starting out to be like A-Rod who hasn’t done much in the postseason for the Yankees until this year? We all know Teixeira can deliver because he’s the Yankees RBI and home run leader this year. The big question is, when will he get out of his slump and will it be too late already?

I trust Teixeira to do something big against the Angels and along the Yankees path just like he did for them during that Game 2 against Minnesota. I say this because even though his offense is down, his defense is up and that really helps. When he starts using both his defense and offense then something big is going to be started. Lets just wait and see.

ROGER CLEMENS AFTER SEEING THAT A BOOK TALKING ABOUT HIS SCANDAL WAS COMING OUT DECIDED TO GIVE A INTERVIEW FOR THE FIRST TIME. HE DID THIS SO THAT EVERYONE BELIEVES HIS STORY AND NOT WHAT THE BOOK IS SAYING ABOUT HIM. SO FAR HE IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION, SO I DON’T KNOW IF WE SHOULD BELIEVE HIM OR NOT. THE TRUTH IS ROGER CLEMENS IS A LEGEND WHEN IT COMES TO BASEBALL, HE DID RECORDS AND WON HONORS LIKE HE WAS UNSTOPPABLE. I GUESS THIS SCANDAL BROUGHT DOWN A GIANT THE SAME WAY A DIFFERENT TYPE OF SCANDAL BROUGHT DOWN ONE OF NEW YORK TOUGHEST AND EXCELLENT GOVERNOR ( GOV. SPITZER). NOW WE DON’T KNOW WHO TO CALL GREAT IN BASEBALL BECAUSE SOONER OR LATER THOSE THAT ARE IN STARDOM WILL COME OUT WITH THEIR OWN CHEATING BASEBALL SCANDAL. I FEEL NOW THAT THOSE WITH THE NOT SO ABOVE AVERAGE KIND OF GAME ARE THE PLAYERS TO BE REMEMBERED AND NOT THOSE WHO ARE ABOVE AVERAGE LIKE A-ROD.

THE SWINE FLU MAY HAVE BEEN FORGOTTEN A LITTLE BIT OR NOT SPOKEN THAT MUCH AS BEFORE, BUT, IT IS STILL OUT THERE. ACCORDING TO THE AM NEW YORK NEWSPAPER, 5 RECENT DEATHS HAVE BEEN COUNTED, WITH ONE OCCURING IN COSTA RICA, THE NEW COUNTRY BEING AFECTED BY IT. THE SWINE FLU LOOKS AS IF IT HAS DISSAPERARED BUT LITTLE BY LITTLE IT PASSES TO DIFFERENT COUNTRIES AND ONLY WHEN SOMEONE DIES IN THAT COUNTRY THAN YOU NOTICE THAT PLACE IS AFFECTED. WE SHOULD BE SMART TO HANDLE THIS PROBLEM QUICKLY AND FAST. IT IS NOT ABOUT TALKING, IT IS ABOUT ACTION. THE SAME WAY YOU CAN’T BEAT A BASKETBALL PLAYER BY SAYING YOU ARE BETTER THAN HIM WITHOUT PLAYING HIM, IS THE SAME WAY THIS FLU WON’T GO AWAY BY SAYING YOU ARE DOING WHATEVER IS POSSIBLE TO END THIS OUTBREAK. WE NEED TO SEE ACTION, PERFORMANCE, AND CRITICAL STEPS INTO DOING THIS THE RIGHT WAY. WE COULD NEVER BE SAFE OF WHOSE THE NEXT PERSON TO FADE AWAY. WATCH OUT AND COVER YOURSELF, BECAUSE IT COULD BE YOU.

A-Rod is having lots of progress in his rehab program and may return to the Yankees sooner than expected. His taking good swings and already took some sliding drills meaning he could start this instant to play if the Yankees wanted that. The Yankees are showing signs of needing him until yesterdays’ 11-0 win over the Detroit Tigers. In a game that Jose Molina actually made a hit and a big one, a grandslam, may mean that the yankees are starting to hit and may not need him. But since they only have won like 1 game out of their last 5 the answer is obvious if they need him. It’s said that he will return by May 15 but don’t be surprised if you see him real soon.

Don’t we all have dreams? What happens when we are robbed of our dreams? Well, Schizophrenia is robbing young adults like us of their dreams. I would like to inform you about what is schizophrenia and about three psychotic symptoms that young adults usually develop from it.

Let me start by saying the definition of schizophrenia. According to Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate dictionary schizophrenia is a psychotic disorder characterized by loss of contact with the environment, by noticeable deterioration in the level of functioning in everyday life, and by disintegration of personality expressed as disorder of feeling, thought, perception, and behavior.

Now let me tell you about three psychotic symptoms of schizophrenia. The First psychotic symptoms are delusions. Delusions are one of the most common symptoms young adults develop. One common experience of delusions is that they believe that they are Jesus or the Virgin Mary. They also believe that they can read other people’s mind.

The second psychotic symptoms of schizophrenia affecting young adults are Hallucinations. Just like delusions, hallucinations are one of the most common symptoms in schizophrenia. These hallucinations can be auditory. A person might hear things that are totally invisible to others or a person might hear voices of people that are not real. A person with schizophrenia can also have visual hallucinations. Visual hallucinations though are not that common in people with schizophrenia. According to MD. Elizabeth J. Roberts “if a person’s reports of visual hallucinations than it should raise your suspicions that drugs may be involved.”

The third psychotic symptom of schizophrenia affecting young adults is disorganized speech. This symptom is not as common as the other two but it happens often to people. A person with this symptom might talk about one topic and than without stopping might talk about a whole new different topic. MD. Elizabeth J. Roberts summarizes this by saying “In midsentence, they suddenly seem to just stop their train of thought and jump to an entirely unrelated topic without even pausing.

In conclusion Schizophrenia is a mental illness with the presence of psychotic symptoms that affect young adults. Due to these symptoms these people can’t reach their dreams because they aren’t mentally fit. I want to end by saying “People with schizophrenia are people and they shouln’t be treated any different than us because they too use to have dreams like us.”

IT WAS A WHILE BEFORE BRITNEY TRIED TO DO SOMETHING WILD TO APPEAR IN THE MEDIA. THIS TIME SHE IS PROMISING TO CANCEL HER 33 DAY TOUR IF SHE CAN’T TAKE HER KIDS WITH HER. ACCORDING TO BANG MEDIA INTERNATIONAL SHE IS WILLING TO PAY HER EX-HUSBAND, KEVIN FEDERLINE, $4,000 A WEEK SO THAT SHE CAN STAY WITH HER KIDS WHILE ON TOUR. THE FUNNY THING IS THAT HE  IS NOT ACCEPTING THE PROPOSAL. IF I COULD GET THAT TON OF MONEY ESPECIALLY WITH THIS ECONOMY I WOULD DEFINITELY ACCEPT HER PROPOSAL. IT ISN’T LIKE SHE’S  NOT THE MOTHER OF THOSE KIDS, SO WHAT HARM CAN IT BE FOR HER TO SPEND THAT TIME WITH THEM. OR IS IT REALLY SOMETHING SAFE?
