Anything Close to a Sport... Is a Sport

While surfing the web one can find some pretty weird things. The other day I found a website that had many top ten lists, one of them being “Top 10 Weird Sports You Should Try”. Of course I had to see them and indeed they are weird. The first sport was Underwater Hockey. Wow. I mean since we’ve played it on the field and on ice why not underwater? This sport (yes, it's a sport) is also called Octopush, basically there are 2 teams of 6 and they try to push the puck with a stick into the goal. One of the reasons it's not very popular is because well, no one can watch it. Another completely bizarre sport is Chessboxing! Just like the name says, the players box for a round and play chess for the next one. Of course there is also Cheese Rolling where the participants have to chase a round cheese down a hill. Strangely enough there are many injuries and this year it was canceled for safety reasons. I thought the coolest one in the list was Bossaball, it's like volleyball but they play it with a trampoline on each side! I would definitely play this one. The point of the game is to somehow get the ball over the net, just like in volleyball but this time you’re jumping on a trampoline.

And remember anything close to a sport… is a sport.

Here's What You Missed On... Glee!

To the Gleeks who watch it every week Hi! And to those who haven’t seen it, well I’m sure you’ve at least heard the name and possibly some songs. Honestly their songs are all over; not only can you find people who know all Glee songs by heart but most songs are making the Top 10 list on iTunes. What makes these songs so special? Well the Glee cast doesn’t really write songs they actually remake, remix or mash up songs that already exist. Some of these songs are classics by Journey and Madonna but most are by more modern artists like Bruno Mars and Rihanna. Glee’s Madonna themed album actually sold more than the original Madonna songs, this has also happened with other songs that Glee has remade! Not only are the songs good but the plot is very interesting. There are some very unexpected things happen which keeps the one time viewer intrigued as well as an ongoing plot that makes the followers keep on watching. The main idea of the show is probably to show teenagers that there is always a place that you can fit in. In conclusion I recommend this show to everyone (not just girl ok? Guys, you should also give this a try too!) See you all soon!

Need an excuse to celebrate?

So this week I’ve stumbled across some pretty weird holidays. I thought people were just joking around about things but turns out almost every day is a something day! And it's not just “Oh, let’s make today don’t tie your shoes day”. Nope there’s a system, sort of. At least I know that there are monthly, weekly and daily celebrations. As I was looking this stuff up I found out that this month is International Drum Month and Peanut Butter Lovers month (congratulations to all of you!), this week is Game and Puzzles week, and today turned out to be Button Day and Have a Party With your Bear Day! As you can see there are some pretty weird holidays people look forward to. Here are some things you can mark on your calendar:
