My Favorite Blank

Video games and systems just keep coming out every year and we keep buying them every year and there is good reason why; they are fun! I have no problems with some of the older games and actually prefer them over a lot of the newer ones. If you’re a fan of the older games, you will be happy to know that you can get cheap video games from JJgames.com. They have a nice selection of games and the best part of all is that they are cheap!

Do you remember the first Playstation game that came out? It cost hundreds of dollars when it first came out and now you can find one at JJgames.com for less than 15 bucks! Now that’s really a good deal! You will also be able to find some of your favorite video games like Super Mario 64, Rumble Pak, Donkey Kong 64, Zelda, and the Star Wars Shadow of  Empire. These are just some of the games you can get and there’s a whole more than that at JJgames.com. Be sure you check with them first before you buy any new games for the kids.

While the women’s World Cup has just wrapped up with Germany beating Brazil in the championship game 2 -0, a star has emerged. Her name is Marta Vieira da Silva, but you can just call her Marta. Her speed and techniques are in the class of Mia Ham another well-known soccer player from the USA. However there is one big exception when you compare Marta to Mia Ham and that would be the age factor. Marta is only 21 years old and I think most people in the world has put her as the best woman in the world in soccer!

She was the leader on that Brazil team and a big reason why they made it to the finals. One of her most impressive goals in the World Cup came against the USA Team. She cut through the USA Defense like it was a piece of butter and she was the hot knife. This young lady has a whole nation behind her back and she is going to be a force to wrecken with for any female soccer team in the 2008 Olympics. As impressive as the Germans were in shutting down Brazil in the World Cup Finals, you just have to believe in another year that Marta is going to be unstopable on that Brazil team.

Marta has been playing soccer since she was 7 years-old. Her heros growing up were Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, and Ronaldo. I’m not sure how good these players were, but if they were half the player Marta is, then they must have been pretty special. The American Team had not been beat in years and won their last 51 games or so before they ran into this phenom from South America. Brazil ran away with the game and the USA Team looked lost for most of it, while they stayed at their end of the field, just trying to block the shots coming from the Brazil players. Marta is a difference maker and is going to be a very rich young girl soon as the USA League is trying to land her in the states to play. If you guys thought Beckham was good and made an impact, wait until the Americans get a look at Marta!

If you ever have the opportunity to be in Wales, be sure to check out their 2nd largest city in Swansea. The river Tawe runs right through the middle of Swansea City and would be a great way for you to make your entrance into the beautiful city. Be sure to bring your appetite when you go to Swansea, and at least try one swansea restaurant. You will find that many of the restaurants carry fresh seafood and some have an international flavor to them. French haute cuisine, Portuguese, Italian, Chinese, Thai, Spanish, Indian, and American style Chowder House are just some of the foreign flavors you can get from the restaurants in Swansea. You will want to also make sure you try the local food like Bara Gorsaf Tywydd, Bara Brith, Crempogs, and Salt Marsh Lamb to just name a few. If you have ever been to Wales before, then please share your stories and reply to this post. Thanks!

The Atlanta Thrashers start their season tonight against the Washington Capitals. This is a tough first game, but at least we get to start at home this year. I can’t remember the last time the Thrashers started the season off at home. It just seems like we always had to start off on the road and it would seem more fair if the NHL took turns with teams.

Some of the key players that got the Thrashers to the playoffs are gone. Belanger and Tkachuk are gone and are replaced by some other not so big names. You still have that core that the Atlanta fans will be counting on with Kovaluchuk, Kozlov, Hossa, and goaltender Kari Lehtonen. The coaches for the Thrashers believe the chemistry will be better than ever in Atlanta and it will show immediately. It will be interesting to see what type of a start the Thrashers can get off to. Washington has great young players and our defense will be tested in game 1 tonight at Phillips Arena. So let’s drop the puck and see how the season gets started for the Thrashers tonight!

In this fast-paced world that we live in today, we miss so much because so many people are on the run and never stop to enjoy the moment. Mad Gringo wants to change that and they can send you a reminder with one of their great hawaiian shirts they offer. Why go fast, when you can go slow? Slow down to the comforts of life and start enjoying each day more, because after today is over, there is one less day left.

I have always loved wearing hawaiian shirts and they are comfortable to me. The material they are made of is so light and they just blow in the wind if you’re wearing one on the beach. It’s great to put on one of these shirts and just sit around and watch sports on the television all day. Maybe you like to grab a book on a rainy day and there’s no better way to do your reading with a shirt from Mad Gringo’s on.

They are so many great shirts to choose from at Mad Gringo. If I had to pick only one, I would probably go with the Sea Foam Tidepool. I like the bluish-green color in the shirt, along with all the other shades of green you have. Go find which one you would like the best and let me know which one you chose!

October has arrived and the fall baseball season is now in full effect. Post season baseball creates excitement in the air as the long baseball seson is now winding down to only a few remaining teams. The Philadelphia Phillies was favored to represent the National League this year in the World Series, after the post season teams had been annoucned. The Chicago Cubs was second on the list and now those predictions might be changing. The Colorado Rockies are up 2-0 in their series with the Phillies and the Arizona Diamondbacks are also up 2-0 with their matchup against the Cubs. So it looks like they are two surprising teams in the National League right now. You just have to win 3 games in this first round and it puts a lot of pressure on the Cubs and Phillies to win 3 straight now. Most people don’t believe anyone of them will do it and it will indeed be the Diamondbacks and Rockies playing in the 7 game series; to go to the World Series. So which team do you think is the most surprising in the National League?
