John Lennon Was A Dreamer, Are You?

John Lennon was a dreamer, are you? John Lennon followed his dreams and turned them into his reality, he did not just sit on his butt and wish he had, or thought man I should have done this or that or the other, no he just did it. So just do it, like Nike says. Lennon loved music and started a band, brought in George and Paul, but Lennon was the glue that brought them together, because he had a vision, he had a dream to become a legend and he accomplished that, and when he said The Beatles were bigger than Jesus, he was not kidding and he was telling the truth. So what are we going to do with the time that we have left on this planet, while the blood is still pumping through our veins and while are brains are still firing? How can we become John Lennon, not that I want to become a songwriter but maybe you do, so start writing, what are you waiting for, just do it. Phil Jackson, the legendary coach for Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, once said “You are going to miss 100% of the shots that you do not take.” This quote is profound on many levels because when you first read it your like, “duh” yea that is common sense Phil, but truly think about it, what do you want to do with the short amount of time you have left on this planet, what makes you happy, what is your purpose, and if you think you do not have a purpose, then focus on what make you happy, how can you achieve your bliss, by finding bliss. However, if you never take a chance on your dreams then how do you expect to achieve them, how do you ever expect to find your bliss and nirvana if you never follow your heart in search of these truths? You have to act, you have to do, something. I cannot tell you what that is only you can find it within yourself. John Lennon was a dreamer, but after he dreamed he became a doer and that is where most people fail when it comes to their full potential, and I am no different, but today is the day that we all start the path to not just follow but to actually achieve our dreams. John Lennon was exceptional and a genius when it came to art, where do you excel? Maybe you think, well I want to do this but I have to do that. Why can you not do both? Every minute that you see tick by on your computer screen is another minute that you can never take back, what dream do you want to see become a reality. Stop living someone else’s dream and start living yours, because this life is what we make it and stop being like everyone else who blames their misfortunes on everyone but themselves, take action, stand up for yourself, do not take the path but blaze your own trail.

Lets Go Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers are the Yankees of the NBA, who have just bought an All star team and have to be the Western Conference favorite going into the season. It appears that Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic has been traded to LA, Howard who was the franchise player of Orlando took a huge dump on all the Magic fans turning his back on the team who drafted him in similar fashion as Lebron did the Cavaliers, but will this guarantee a championship? Howard sure hopes so. The Lakers also picked up aging point guard Steve Nash. Nash who is approaching 40, is still a threat if he can stay on the court and not be laying on the sidelines with a back brace on, he has had continued health problems of late, and he has never been able to beat the Lakers, so I guess the old saying is really true, if you can’t beat’em, join’em! Kobe, the captain of the Lakers who is playing for team USA in the Olympics had this to say, “ Well, it looks like Super Man has found a home.” Kobe ,who hasn’t done particularly well with other super stars in the past, remember Shaq and his hip hop freestyle flow, “Kobe, tell me how my ass tastes.” Which is about the fall out between the two jaded super stars, well hopefully Kobe has matured and come to a realization that he is an aging star kind of like a white dwarf and right now Howard is a red giant and even though the white dwarf is still extremely powerful right up until it dies and implodes and becomes a black hole, it is time to let the young star shine and take over. With Kobe and Nash on the perimeter shooting jumpers and Howard on the inside snatching rebounds and only dunking, the Lakers will win the championship next year, you heard it here first on my blog folks, but if Howard takes those chicken wing hook shots outside the dotted line in the paint, instead of kicking it back out to Kobe, well then I don’t know if they will be able to get past the Thunder. The Lakers biggest enemy now is themselves, can they all get along? I think so, but if they do not win the championship it is time to fire their coach, and hire Magic. Andrew Bynum, who is a retard and showed his retardation in critical times in the playoffs the last two years against Dallas and the Thunder was traded to the 76ers who will eventually treat him like Kuami Brown, remember him, No, well anyway he was terrible. The Lakers also will get Chris Duhon from the Magic the aging Duke point guard . Pau Gasol also is staying put with the Lakers which is a big help, even though he cannot get rebounds he can hit jumpers and free throws and I believe he will be the X Factor for the Lakers, I wonder what Simon Powel thinks about it, but anyway the Lakers are my favorite to when the championship next year, who do you think will win?
