State of The Union

With Holland upsetting the Brazilians today I thought I would catch up on some things I missed this weekend while working my ass of. Although yours truly picked this team to win it all not MAny others expected the Dutch to pull of this upset. I was very happy to see Brazil the annual world cup favorite concede an own goal. Now it is up to GerMAny to pull through against Argentina for my prediction to still be in tact.

In other news around the world Eminem outsold Drake by about 200,000 with 741,000 copies of Recovery. Now do I think the CD is better? Actually yes I do. I am a bigger Em fan than Drake but Drake did very well and these two albums are great news for Hip-Hop.

Currency and Wiz have had a couple new songs come out in the recent days. Check out the Super High Remix by Rick Ross featuring the duo, as well a classic Spitta and Wiz collab called Scaling the Building, they are both worth checking out. Spitta also put out a single on iTunes with Mikey Rocks from the Cool Kids called The Hangover.

The Celtics found out that Paul Pierce would enter free agency but Doc Rivers is coming back. The good news is Rivers because he is the key to bringing back the Big 3. Now as a Celtics fan I would love to see this same team that was in the playoffs but that isn't going to happen we will be Sheed-less and Perk-less and possibly Ray-less. I have mixed emotions about the state of the C's and it is important for them to sign some bench talent in this free agency period. By the way there is no way in my mind that Paul Pierce doesn't play his entire career in Boston.

Despite all their injuries the Boston Red Sox are only 1.5 games behind the Yankees. By the way Varitek was just put on the DL as well. That puts Vartiek, Ellsbury, Pedroia, Beckett and Delcarmen all on the 15 day DL. With All-Star weekend coming up it is good news to see the Sox with 47 wins.

Yesterday I worked from 430am until 3pm. The longest day of work I have ever had in my life. Surprisingly I was able to be awake for the entire day. I have a new for any person who works at odd hours wether a construction worker, doctor, nurse, or whatever. Cheers to those who wake up at ungodly hours.

This weekend will bring us the 4th of July. At times I forget that it represents this young country's birthday and focus on the BBQ'S to be had and fireworks to be watched. I hope you all have great plans for the weekend and that we will remember where this nation came from.
