The Fist Pump That Changed Golf

People would say why would a fist pump change golf? Well its not just the fist pump its the guy that does the pump also changed it. Tiger Woods is his name. Most people have heard that name before. well the reason you might have hears his name are good and bad. the good is he is probably the best golfer in the last 10 years and has one many well know tournaments. but in the last few years tiger hasn't been the same. Ever since he cheated on his wife and then ran in to a tree then they got a divorce and ever since then he hasn't been the same golfer. he has only won once this year.

The Show Goes On


Authors Note: I chose to do it on the song The Show Goes On because it has a lot of meaning and is a really good song. 



Yeah yeah, the World is yours, I was once that little boy( that the younger kids the world will be there’s when there older)
Terrified of the World ( scared of a lot of thing but you can still do it)
Now I’m on a World tour( now he became big and famous that’s what we could do too)
I will give up everything, even start a world war( he will do anything for us)
For these ghettos girls and boys I’m rapping round’ the World for! ( he is rapping for the kids that are where he is from)
Africa to New York, Haiti then I detour, Oakland out to Auckland( where he goes for them)
Gaza Strip to Detroit, say hip-hop only destroy( where he goes for them)

Tell em’ look at me, boy!( look at how good he is doing)
I hope your son don’t have a gun and that would be a bad boy. ( don’t grow up and have guns grow up and do something positive with your life)

Alright, already the show goes on ( life is a show and it goes on)
Alright, till the morning we dream so long.( dream about what we could be)
Anybody ever wonder, when they would see the sun up
Just remember when you come up, The show goes on!( even when it comes up life still goes on)

So no matter what you been through( no matter what has happened in your life)
No matter what you into( no matter what you’ve done)
No matter what you see when you look outside your window( no matter where you live)
Brown grass or green grass( nice or bad area)
Picket fence or barbed wire(Nice or bad area)
That you struggling and survivin’ that you gonna persevere( even if you are struggling in your life you got to persevere)
Even if they turn the lights out the show is goin’ on!(even if your life is going downhill life goes on)


I think this song has a lot of meaning to people. because a lot of people lives are not good and this song really shows them what they can be.

The Great Present

Author's Note I wrote this in the basketballs point of view. I choose a basketball because it was one of my favorite christmas presents.

How would you feel if you got bounced around and throw of the rim and a hard plastic backboard? Well that’s how I feel and then they always call me a rock or basketball. That’s what I am that’s not my name though. My real name is Theodore though. Just like they don’t call people, “people” they call them a name like Nick or Justin. I wish that people would understand that I’m not just any basketball I have feelings just like you do.

Also when I was at Sports Authority people would judge me and say I was too small or too big. They would also touch and feel me I mean that’s kind of weird. Even one time someone opened my package and started bouncing me. But then they said I was to flat so they throw me down. The pain of the bouncing was so bad it was like throwing your head against the ground hard over and over. I think I might have even got a minor concussion wow those mean people. A.K.A HATERS.

But then on one special say a mom a came and bought me. She didn’t hurt or feel me but she knew I was the right one for her son. She even complemented me by say I was perfect and the right size. I was just hoping that it would be a nice family. Hopefully they won’t rub and touch me that really creeps me out. Also I hope the kid cleans me and doesn’t get dirty like other basketballs. My brother was a good example they missed the game winner then chucked my brother at a poll the impact was so severe  it popped him…. He died. Then to make it worse the next my girlfriend got sold the day before me I was sad wondering if I would ever see her again…

The day I was always waiting for the time they open me on Christmas day this is my dream coming true. But it also wasn’t also. When he opened me he was excited then did what I wished he hadn’t ripped me open and was feeling me. AHHHHH…. I wanted to scream my leather right off. But I couldn’t. They were nice but the just kept dribbling and feeling me.

But in the long run things have been good. He has been very nice to me and has cleaned me. He took good care of me.
