Teamwork

Team Work is the ability to work together towards a common goal... With that
Nothing is impossible.
Sometimes, we get so wrapped up in the game that we don't think about the team. Everyone after a game is excited about their own accomplishments. But has anyone thought about the teams success? I have heard the saying "there is no I in team" about a million times, but how many people actually follow it? I know sometimes in the heat of the game, you don't think about what the team has done. You mostly think about what "you" have done. How many points, steals, assists did I have this game. Or "man, I could have made just one more free throw." In society, people only think about 1st place. Once second best, always second best. Maybe next time, you won't think about doing well, because sports win or lose are supposed to be fun. There is no such thing as once second best, always second best. We can do anything we set our minds to.

Inauguration of Barack Obama:

At the beginning of this presidential election, I didn't really know much about it. The last time we had an election was when I was 11 or 12. I don't remember much about it. Therefore coming into this election I didn't think I cared that much. But when my brother began watching all the news coverage about Obama vs. McCain I began to watch it with him. Obama may not be everyones choice in Presidents, but he was chosen for the presidency because of something good he did. He must have been looked upon for a significant role he played. This past week, history was made. Our nations first African American president was sworn into office.

Red Carpet Best dressed vs Worst dressed at Golden Globes

Last night I watched the 2008 Golden Globe awards. I am interested more in the style, glamour, and poise aspects  of the celebrities on the red carpet instead of the celebrities actually physically receiving the awards. My favorite look on the red carpet at any award ceremony is the sophisticated glamour almost like Hollywood glamour. 
Anne Hathaway looked stunning in her Armani Prive gown, the color suits her fair skin. Last night she showed off her great healthy figure. 
Hayden Panettiere looked amazing in her dark purple Gianfranco Ferre gown. With her small petite frame to some the gown may overpower her small frame, but the intricate beading and cinched in waist looks phenomenal on her. 
Finally, my favorite of the entire night would totally 100% have to be Olivia Wilde. Her strapless Reem Acra gown made her physique flawless. The way the gown falls on her waist makes the dress look beautiful on her. 
Now, worst dressed is my all time favorite thing to look for during any kind of awards ceremony. My favorite line is "what in the world was she thinking", or "did she get dressed in the dark for this one!" America Ferrera looked as if she tried to hard. She attempted a cute neckline, but blew it when it came to the bottom half of the dress. 
Cameron Diaz looked like she "got dressed in the dark," she looked like she had an upset stomach and spilled her pepto on her gown. Her hair looked like an afterthought. Maybe if she would have put in up with a soft side swept bang, she could have not had such a bad review. 
Finally, my favorite worst dressed of the night was Drew Barrymore. Not because the dress was awful because to me the dress looked beautiful on her. The neckline was so old hollywood glamour. But to me she took it a little to far with her hairstyle. Her hair was way to poofy and a little bit to old hollywood glamour. She could have just had soft curls that caressed her face to make it not so overdone. 
With the best and worst dressed of the 2009 Golden Globes award ceremony out of the way hopefully the next awards the worst dressed can redeem themselves.
