MY CHRISTMAS THOUGHTS AND PLAYLIST

Hello everyone, and HAPPY HOLIDAYS. Below is a list of some holiday tunes I put together. I hope you enjoy them. I hope you're having a great holiday season. This year has been rough on many of us but we can only hope that CHANGE is ahead of us. And CHANGE will be good, right ? Speaking of the holidays, one thing that always comes to mind this time of year is when friends of family members are not seeing eye to eye with each other, whether it be an arguement or a misunderstanding, and many of us try to help patch things up between others and many of us have often said, " Come on, put aside you're differences, it Christmas ...." . Well, yes, Christmas can definately be the time of year to put aside our differences, but should we be putting aside our differences only during the holidays ? After all, we really should be nice to each other year round, right ? While it is true that it's only human to have our differences get in the way of things, ( I dont exclude myself either) our differences should also be something that should be embraced as well. As we all know, no one person was created the same, so why should our we let our differences be a hinderence in our everyday lives ? If you should take the time to use the holidays to put any differneces, or yet, conflicts aside, if you can, make the effort to keep it aside througout the upcoming year. And if you're not quite ready to tell that someone that " You're sorry.....", do it when your ready. Whether it be today, Christmas day, the 4th of July, whenever, again if you can, do make the effort. And should the holidays actually help you put aside any differences or conflicts you may be having with a friend, family member, or loved one, remember to carry it over with you year round. While Christmas shouldnt be an excuse to patch things up, it can certainly the time of year to start patching things up with those you care about. Well, enough from me. Enjoy the tunes everyone. Oh yeah, feel free to share a favorite holiday memory. HAPPY HOLIDAYS !!!!

UCLA VS. USC 12/06/2008

The USC Trojans enter this weeks crosstown showdown at the Rose Bowl against my beloved Bruins a 31.5 point favorite. As of today, about 1,000 tickets remain available for this Saturdays game. As a Bruin fan, I would like to believe the old rivalry mantra that anything can happen. And of course someday I will win the lottery. While UCLA's defense has shown signs of improvement over the last 2 games, albeit one of those games was against an even lowlier opponent the Washington Huskies, USC just has to much in it's arsenal for UCLA to even try to keep up with. Also not helping matters out is that UCLA ranks nearly dead last in the nation in total rushing while QB Kevin Craft has thrown an alarmin 17 interceptions this season . ( It seems like more though.....). Boy is it gonna be a long day for the Bruins this Saturday. PREDICTION USC 41 UCLA 13. I will go on record to say that should The Sons of Westwood pull off the miracle of the year, I will go to the Bruin Bear on Monday on campus and lead the Sons on to a rousing rendition of " The Mighty Bruins " !!!! GO BRUINS !!!!!!
