Young Blood

I've finished all of my blogs and I only need to do my formal event which I just did but a few days ago I saw a video called Uncle Drew. Uncle drew is played by NBA star Kyrie Irving, this series is promoted by Pepsi Max. What he does is he has make up artist who come in to make him look like an older grandpa/older uncle who then goes to street parks. Once he gets to the street parks he relaxes until someone comes and ask to play where first he acts old and then the funny part happens. He turns on the NBA style of playing crossing over, stealing, dunking and everything else you could think of. He also has others come participate in these videos such as Kevin Love and Nate Robinson. When he adds them into the mix they start to bring back the team and are now almost done but haven't done the last few installments so it is only a matter of time.
Now the term young blood is something he uses to talk about the new generation of ballers and how they only care for the crossovers, the fade a ways and the shoe game and how they have forgot the really meaning of the game. And that is to get Buckets, nothing but buckets!

The Formal Event


About a week ago, I attended my girlfriends debutante formal which was six different girls all from 15-18 years old. The event was well set up and very organize, from the time of arrival to departure and everything in between. The escorts used for the debutante were the JROTC Air Force Cadets which were very professional to say, I still wish they would have allowed them to pick their own escorts instead of being assigned them. I did enjoy the night because I was allowed to talk to some of her family I have never engaged in conversation with so that was nice as well. All the participants did look great in their dresses for talent and also the entire dance portion of it. But more about the formal, it had each of the girls showcase a skill in which they must perform in front of all who attended, the skills to name a few where public speaking, musical talent and my wonderful girlfriend showcased a beautiful dance she had created herself. After the talent/skill portion was done they proceeded to the waltz and different dances such as those and then we were allowed to partake in the refreshments for the night. After enjoying those we were allowed to take pictures and those who still wanted to dance were allowed to and with so I was able to dance with her and tell her how wonderful she had done throughout the entire night. Another bonus was that she also won second runner to the queen spot and so we were all proud of what she was able to accomplish within these few weeks.

This is the Out of Class Blog. This is the sports one. Soccer is 1st/Track is 2nd

Last night I attended my cousin soccer game for Thomas Dale (my high school) where they went against Matoaca which Dale won 2 to nothing with one goal scored in each half. Even my cousin almost had a goal but his teammate also got a head one it as well and they have him the goal. But it was a great game none the less some calls should have not been made but they were. That the refs that were assigned weren't the best but being a ref I do understand what they go through and how fast the call must be made in order to make sure the game flows. There was to yellow cards given out and one I believe should had been to the goal of the other team as well instead of just to are team but plays must be played and the game must go on.


Well today I attended my brother's and girlfriend's track event on which they both did great in the events they competed in, my brother and the throwers won overall while my girlfriend's relay team took 1st and also the ability to place in states and regionals which is excellent beyond belief that they will be competing for this opportunity to achieve such a high rank. So to all three of them and teams I  wish them good luck.
