Sorry I haven't posted all week but I spent about 30 hours studying for my test Tuesday. No joke, 30 hours. Luckily it went very well, but it was the hardest test I ever took in my life - 10 questions, 1 page essay per question. I'm not sure which hurt worse at the end, my brain or my hand.
I have a couple of things today. Lets start with the funny post. You can't go wrong if you're looking for a good, quick laugh, turn to the Onion Opinion pages.
I'm sure that most of you, but definitely not all of you, know who Stephon Marbury is. If you don't he is a guard for the New York Knicks, who has always had a reputation of a very good player, but doesn't have the best reputation as a stand-up person. However that has all changed recently. A couple of months ago Marbury released a new shoe. In a time where kids literally kill other kids for their shoes, which run well over $100 normally, Marbury decided a change needed to be made. His shoes are selling for only $15! I never liked the guy before, but this is an absolutely amazing thing to do. He is doing this for the kids who can't afford the top name shoes and I can't praise the guy enough. What will this do for the kids? What will this do for the shoe industry? It's hard to say. But with all the egoes and greed among professional athletes, Marbury has now shown the exact opposite, showing that he cares just as much about our communities as he does himself. If you would like to listen to an interview with Stephon on NPR click here.
Everyone have a great weekend.
