 Well folks, another year of college basketball has been completed. Both Men's Women's championships have been crowned as the Florida Gators have won the Men's title while UConn came out on top in the Women's finals. The Women's championship was first and to put it nicely, UConn dominated South Carolina 82-59. Sarah Strong led the Lady Huskies with a double-double scoring 24 points and collected 15 rebounds. Azzi Fudd also scored 24 points while Paige Bueckers added another 17 points. Meanwhile for South Carolina, both Joyce Edwards and Tessa Johnson led with a team high of 10 points. Then just yesterday, Florida once again used a second half offensive surge to carry themselves to victory and win their third National Championship as a program with the final score of 65-63 over the Houston Cougars. Will Richard led the Gators with 18 points and eight rebounds. Alex Condon had 12 points and seven rebounds while Walter Clayton Jr tacked on 11 points, seven assists and ...

 This past weekend, Chad and I went down to check out the auction going on at the Lewistown Community Center courtesy of the St. Vincent DePaul Society who are associated with the Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church. The St. Vincent DePaul Society was using this auction to help raise funds for those who are in need. Which is really cool to see honestly, we don't really get to hear about stories like this too often. Chad and I were very excited to go and see what was there and who knows, maybe find something to get ourselves. And found stuff we did! There were plenty of simple everyday items like glassware and other knick-knacks. But there were also a ton of cool religious pieces of art which I just so happened to get myself. Me and Chad also got another very special item at the event as well, but this time it was more of a family present. You see, we have become Uncles for the second time as our older brother Cody and his lovely wife Christine are having another baby. More specifica...

 Well ladies and gentlemen, we are finally here! Where at first there were many, but now we are down to just two teams and we will soon learn who is going to walk out with the Men's National Basketball Championship. Will be the Houston Cougars? Or Will it be the Florida Gators? Going into the final four, what I found amazing was how they were all the number seeds in their respective brackets. Which rarely even happens, in fact the last time this even happened was in 2008 nearly 20 years ago. Those four teams were Kansas, Memphis, North Carolina and UCLA. The first game we found ourselves with a major upset as the Houston Cougars came from behind and knocked off the Duke Blue Devils by the final score of 70-67. Cooper Flagg led Duke with 27 points, seven rebounds and four assists. Meanwhile for Houston, they were led by J'Wan Roberts who had himself a double-double scoring 11 points, 12 rebounds and five assists. During the second game, Florida defeated the Auburn Tigers with th...

 Oh man, this band was a huge part in shaping me into what I am today and that band is Korn. This incredible band were a key factor in the rise of the musical genre called Nu-Metal which for those who don't know is a mixture of rap and metal. The first time that I remember witnessing Korn was during one of my personal favorite shows to watch as a kid and that was Total Request Live and I got watch a couple of their songs Got The Life and Freak on A Leash. I was hooked from there on out. What I didn't realize that these guys have been around since the early 90s starting with a demo called Neidermayer's Mind. Outside of that, Korn has a total of 14 albums with the first being Korn in 1994 to their latest one in 2022 with Requiem. These albums featured such amazing songs like Got the Life, Freak on a Leash of course. But there were also songs like Justin, Blind, Clown, No Place to Hide, Falling Away from Me, Coming Undone, Twister Transistor, Let the Guilt go, Start the Healin...
