Fast, Furious And Fighting





So I turn on the television to Good Morning America and I was somewhat humored by the brawl that broke out after NASCAR driver's, Brad Keselowski and Jeff Gordon had after a race in Texas. NASCAR reports, that the driver's were not fined, but the crew chief of Jeff Gordon, Alan Gustafson was put on probation and fined $50,000 and so was Brad Keselowski's chef. Here is a statement from the the official NASCAR website "Both crew chiefs were found to be in violation of Section 9-4A: Crew chief assumes responsibility for the actions of his team members; Section 12-1: Actions detrimental to stock car racing and Section 12-4.9: Behavioral penalty." My question is, is it fair for the crew chief's to pay at the expense of those who can't control their behavior? I know racing is big business and $50,000 is nothing for them to pay, but who does the payout benefit more, NASCAR or the fans? I believe everyone should be responsible for his or her own action.

DA BULLS!!





Man, did you see  the game the other night?! Chicago Bulls vs the Timberwolves!?! It was bananas!  With Derek Rose spraining his ankle the night before, it seems as some people, including fans, counted the Chicago Bulls out for the season.  The end of the 4th quarter was intense. As I stop folding my clothes at the laundromat, everybody gathered around the mounted flat screen on the wall. It felt like the NBA Finials. With 2.9 seconds left in the game, it looked like the Bulls would be defeated... NOT SO!! Bulter was fouled and he was able to make both free throw shots. The Bulls would win the game 106-105 over the Minnesota Timerwolves! Way to go Chicago!!

News and organizations

           The Chicago Bulls did an awesome job last night. The won against New York Knicks.  Right after the game, I went to bed. When I got up this morning and every morning, I turn on, Good Morning America. I get the breaking news, weather and so much more. Today's musical guest was, Taylor Swift.  All of these great Media outlets like Twitter to keep us informed. WKKC 89.3 FM is a college radio Station located on Kennedy King Campus in Chicago. They allow students to learn and get the experience they need to succeed in the media program.  Another notable news source is the Chicago Tribune. My teacher John Owen, happens to work for this company. I think he really enjoys his job.

Celebrities

Power, powerful and more power .From television Host to Political forces and actress, some of these women and men help influence our country. Oprah had the longest running talk show since the late Johnny Carson. Condoleezza Rice is the former  Secretary of State & National Security Advisor.  Queen Latifah, has gone from, rapper activist, to the big screen and now having her own television talk show. What an awesome example of, against all odds, you can do and be anything you set your mind too.   Last not forget our very own, Robin Robinson, Broadcast journalist of Chicago news 20+ years.  I remember her visit to Kennedy King college Media Dept. I got one good picture of her from afar. I aspire to walk in her shoes one day. But for now, walk with  me as I Tweet on Twitter .
 

I love Music...Any kinda Music!

Yes, I love music. Sometimes I believe I may even sing in my sleep. The reason I have chosen some of these artist, is, they have been very instrumental to my belief and faith in God. Some I have even encountered on a personal level. Well, at least it felt like it upon meeting them. Fred Hammond, Mary Mary, and Reggie Royal & Judah, who happens to be my Senior Pastor of Lifeline Church Chicago, have inspired me to be the best person I can be with the Creator's help! I attended the Gospel Fest last summer in Chicago. I always take my children to events so they too can have memorable moments as well. Mega Duo, Erica And Tina Campbell of Mary Mary departed from their trailer. The crowd screamed their names as they waved back to the crowd. Suddenly, they began to walk in my direction. As I pulled out my phone, my middle daughter Oni, knocked the phone out of my hand in excitement!! I called to the men working behind the stage, but the music was too loud. Erica Campbell heard me and handed me my phone…HOW COOL WAS THAT!! I told her I was the 3rd Mary, and we laughed. No matter how old I get, my love for music will never die. Check out my Twitter account for some more of my interest.

Windy City with Mz. Faith





                                             
  WINDY CITY LIVE


I really enjoyed my day. Got two tickets to the Windy City Live Studio taping. My oldest sister joined me as we waited for the special guest to appear. " Grey's Anatomy" Chandra Wilson and "Top Model" Jaslene Gonzalez were on the show. Although the taping went pretty fast, I made sure I got the opportunity to see my girl, host Val Warner. That's my story and I'm sticking to it in
 the windy city.
