Current Events and Stuff

Current Events and Stuff So these are the current events that will be happening this week for me

1. Wednesday is Kings of Leon, which i've been waiting to go to since Christmas. I can't believe its only a day away. It will definitely be an awesome musical experience.

2. Its hard to believe that yesterday the entertainment word lost a comedic legend. Harold Ramis had died at age 69, however is legacy still lives on. The creative works he had done in the 80's with Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd were still awesome. The top movies include: the Ghostbusters, Caddyshack and Stripes. He had also earned writing credits for classics such as Meatballs, Animal House and Groundhog day as well as directed the National Lampoon's Vacation staring Chevy Chase. All in all this guy had an amazing career, its too bad he had to go.

3. Sochi Olympics are over, however the closing ceremonies were pretty wicked and Canada achieved gold in both men's and women's hockey. I find it kind of unfair how hockey over shadows pretty much every other olympic sport in the winter olympics. I mean for example women's hockey took gold, but so did the canadian women's curling team and they one 11 straight games in a row, yet the women's hockey team got more press. To me its kind of ridiculous. Along with this having professional athletes in the olympics should be banned. I'm talking specifically about the men's hockey team. The Olympics originally was about world class amateur talent that was up and coming rather than showcasing the stars who are already at the top. Hopefully they change this.

4. I can't believe that after this week I only have 7 week more weeks of class and then it's summer! man, time moves by so fast. I cannot wait until summer because aside from the fact I hate winter with a passion, I do a lot of outdoor activities such as cycling and cross training. Two of my favourite excersize activities and on top of that I love being outside during the summer I rarely stay inside. That is what winter is for.
