Memphis Weather

How about this weather in Memphis recently...  I wake up every morning having to look up the weather because its been so inconsistent this year.  Just last week, the weather looked like it was gonna get better and we would have good sunny days, but no its the complete opposite.  The weather this week has been cold and extremely windy and thats how its supposed to be the rest of the week.  We go from wearing khaki shorts one day to having to wear khaki pants and a coat.  Everyone complains about how inconsistent the weather has been recently and its kinda gotten old.  I think I can speak for everyone else and say that I'm ready for the summer and this cold weather to be gone.  Spring Break is supposed to be good weather, but it looks like its gonna be cold and rainy the whole week.

Drinking Age

Who thinks the drinking age should be lowered?  I do.  I believe it should be lowered to 18 years of age.  If you are considered a legal adult in the United States, why should you not be able to drink legally.  Also, if you are able to shoot a gun for your country in the Army, then you should be able to drink as well.  Another reason I think it should be lowered is because once people get to college, it seems like they are pretty much already 21.  Everyone I know that is under 21 gets beer just as easily as people that are 21 and up.  It has become easier to find ways to purchase alcohol as the years have been going by it seems.  The police here at the university don't seem to care if under age people are drinking either because every time I have seen one stroll by a party they just check it out and then keep on driving.  They have become more and more lenient about drinking.  Because of all these reasons, the drinking age should be lowered to 18.

The Miami Heat

When LeBron James and Chris Bosh decided to both go to Miami, everyone thought they would dominate right off the bat.  They were supposed to be unbeatable and blow teams out by at least 20 points.  Well, all of these people were wrong as the season started.  The so-called "Big 3" couldn't get anything started and didn't have that chemistry everyone thought they would establish early on.  With 3 leading scorer's on one team, people had to expect there would be some trouble with who would be in control of the team.  Many thought Dwayne Wade would be because the heat has always been "his"team for many years.  But, how would Lebron James take this coming from the Cavaliers where he was by far the leader of the team?  After watching the Miami Heat play many games, it does seem that Dwayne Wade is the leader of the team and that Lebron James has accepted this.  They are playing much better now that it is close to the All-Star break meaning halfway through the season.  Their record is a outstanding 38-14 and are in control of the Southwest.  Many think now that they have been playing together for this long that they will go far in the playoffs and make a run for the NBA title.  Many may hate the Heat because of all the All-Stars they have on one team, but you gotta respect them a little bit for playing like they are.  This reminds me of how when the NBA chooses there players to play in the Olympics how sometimes they don't play as well because of all the talent they have and how everyone wants to be the go-to guy on the team.  But, sure enough, they won this year not to mention my favorite player Derrick Rose was the starting point guard.  The Miami Heat will for sure make the playoffs this year and will most likely no doubt make it pretty far.
