I'm the Juggernaut Bitch

So, I still don't have regular internet access but I thought I'd throw up a post while I'm online. Zinedine Zidane has taught everyone the new way to take down your enemy, the Head Butt to the chest. That thing was crazy. I don't know what he was thinking but he must have been some pissed off. Apparently it didn't upset everybody as he still managed to win the Golden Ball as the tournaments best player. I love Zidane, but I would have given the award to Italy's Fabio Cannavaro. That man was a monster the whole tournament, where Zizou didn't really turn it up until the last few games. I've been watching quite a few movies lately. Superman Returns was very good. Bryan Singer has shown again that he understands the comic book genre. X3 was a mess without him, and if he had never taken over the Superman helm we could have seen Sean Penn as the last son of Krypton fighting a giant spider. Thank God that crap didn't happen. Anyway, the best movie I've seen in quite a while is the 1994 gem Hoop Dreams. Dreams is a documentary that follows two inner city kids from Chicago as they enter high school with aspirations of one day making the NBA. Honest, and brutal, the film almost uses basketball as the backdrop as you live through the real life problems these kids face. Family troubles, teen pregnancies, drug use, all while facing the pressure of trying to perform on the court, keep grades up etc. Clocking in at just under 3 hours, I was enthralled the whole way, and never realized it was so long as I couldn't turn away. Everyone should see Hoop Dreams.

The World Series of Poker is in full swing and the pros are showing again why skill is more important than luck. Final tables are filled with recognizable names, with many pros taking down the bracelet. My main man Phil Ivey just missed out on another bracelet the other day finishing 2nd to another pro Sam Farha. It's good to see Ivey on his game, and I'm predicting he'll be leaving with at least one bracelet before the series is over.

Finally, I was at the Chatham highland games on Saturday and may have seen an angel. Honestly, she was probably the hottest girl I've ever seen in person. So even though she will never see this blog, Mad Props to Mackenzie. Damn you are fine.

Bizzle Out.
