This is my avatar. I think that it represents me because it pretty much looks like me everyday. I always wear all black because white is an ugly color and I don’t like wearing very vibrant colors. And don’t go telling me that white is a shade because I ain’t having none of that. I chose my avatar not smiling or having a reaction to anything because people tell me that I don’t show much emotion sometimes. I tried to make the face close to what I look like, but wasn’t very successful.
The San Francisco Giants baseball team won the 2010, 2012 and 2014 World Series. This was supposed to be one of the best baseball teams of the 21st century. The Giants only won the 2014 World Series with actual skill. The others were luck because they played the Rangers and the Tigers. The Giants swept the Rangers 4-0 and beat the Tigers 4-1. Both of these teams are complete trash and have terrible rosters. The 2014 World Series was won because of one player, Madison Bumgarner. He pitched 3 of the 7 games versus the Kansas City Royals, who should have won the series if it wasn’t for Bumgarner. Pitching 3 games is very bad for your arm and Bruce Bochy did not care at all if Bumgarner threw out his arm or not. The funny thing is, the Giants only go into the World Series in 2014 because of a walk-off 3-run home run by a random pinch-hitter, Travis Ishikawa. I happened to be attending this game and thought that the luck was at an all-time high. The Saint Louis Cardinals deserved to be in the Series way more then the San Frantrashco Giants. Please, please don’t get me started with this even year crap.
First of all, Pablo Sandoval was very smart to leave the Giants while he could. He left to go be with his buddy, Hanley Ramirez, over on the Boston Red Sox. While Bumgarner carried the Giants to their 3rd World Series win in 5 years, he is now looking into the rear view mirror and never coming back to his prime years. I’m not even going to get started with Mr. Buster “Overrated” Posey. The only reason he is one of the best catchers in the league is because everyone is insanely garbage. Matt Cain? 2012 was his year and is now awful. Hunter Pence and Joe Panik? Can not do anything since 2012 as well. The only relatively consistent player that Giants have is Brandon Crawford. The All-Star shortstop is one of the best in the league, but is looking into the rear view mirror like his buddy Bumgarner. Oh and just forget about Tim Lincecum. The Giants are going to need to completely rebuild their roster if they ever want to even come close to winning the championship.

eSports are my favorite hobby. Basically, it is professional video game players, competing for money. Most people think it is such a joke and they laugh whenever they hear that it is a sport. Although, Dota 2 has over $20,000,000 prize pools for their tournaments. Which is a lot of money. I say that eSports are real sports. Some players on teams have P-1 Athletic Visa’s. Which, are meant for athletes. Also, Shaquille O’ Neal, Rick Fox, Golden State Warriors, Philadelphia 76ers and many more people and organizations have all invested into eSports and all own their own teams. Just recently, F.C. Copenhagen, a tier one soccer club from Denmark, just purchased their own eSports team called North.
Sponsors are one of the main ways that these sports are getting so much exposure and recognition. Also, TBS, a channel on TV, partnered with ELEAGUE to bring Counter-Strike to national television. I personally attended the season one grand finals of ELEAGUE in Atlanta, Georgia this last July. I had so much fun their and got so many autographs from my favorite players. That tournament had a $1,500,000 prize pool, but was on live TV. I also recently attended IEM Oakland. This tournament was in Oracle Arena, the home of the Golden State Warriors. At IEM Oakland, I got autographs from eight different teams and got to meet my favorite players. My favorite professional eSports organization is Cloud9. Their Counter-Strike team recently was the first North American team to win an international event in the past ten years. When I got to meet them, it was such a cool experience. I will remember that day my entire life.

My perfect day would be sitting on a beach with a beautiful Hawaii sunset over the Pacific horizon. It would be at the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai, on the big island of Hawaii. I would be sitting there, in a beach chair listening to the sound of the waves hitting the sand. At the same time listening to the sound of a ping pong ball bouncing back and forth from one side of the table to the other. It is by far my favorite place to regularly go back to and I wish everyone had the chance to visit this amazing hotel at least once in their lifetime.
The Hualalai is located just north of Kona. I have probably been to this hotel at least six times. Every time I have been, I had an amazing experience and always look forward to going back soon. The last time I went though, My family and I stayed in a house instead of a hotel room. We had to take a golf cart to get to and from the main hotel area. Where the pools, restaurants, and recreation centers are.
My favorite restaurant there is the Beach Tree Bar & Grill. I always get a large bruschetta and a shirley temple. Every single time. They have the best bruschetta in the entire world and I have had my fair share of them. I get some balsamic vinegar with my bruschetta to add that extra flavor and make it taste that much better. Also, I always order extra cherries with my shirley temple because cherries that have the flavor of a shirley temple, are the most amazing thing ever. It is definitely one of my favorite restaurants in the world and if you go to the Hualalai, you must eat at the Beach Tree Bar & Grill.
In The Maze Runner, by James Dashner, a teenager named Thomas, gets thrown into a maze with about 50 or so other teenagers. Thomas is the first “greenie” (the name they use for a new person into the maze) that is actually curious about what is going on and how to get out of the maze. Thomas wants to be a runner, which are people that go out into the maze and map it and memorize it. He and his friends must face horrifying monsters then roam the maze at night to get out. In my opinion the movie is better then the book, but you should always read the books before you watch the movie. Go see for yourself if Thomas can escape the maze or if he will die from a Griever.
