Superstar Of The Month: LeBron James


The Superstar of the month for May 2007 is LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
LeBron has single handedly turned the Cleveland Cavaliers, from a mediocre team, into NBA champion contenders. He's the next Michael Jordan. It's only a matter of time until he wins a championship for Cleveland. I don't think he'll do it this year, as the San Antonio Spurs are the heavy favourites. But he's learning to win important games, while being the go to guy in the clutch. The series between Cleveland and Detroit is all tied up, thanks to LeBron. Don't be suprised if Cleveland comes out of the east on top.
Congratulations LeBron on being the Superstar Of the Month for May 2007. You've made a fan out of me.

Twas' A Beautiful Spring Day In Nova Scotia

Earlier this year, the first week in April to be exact. I took a trip out to Nova Scotia to visit my good friends. It was a fairly short trip, roughly 6 days in total. I had a great time, not only visiting with friends I hadn't seen in a year. Plus, I was able to see some of the beautiful country-side I had never before seen in previous visits to Nova Scotia. I was also lucky enough to experience an Atlantic snowfall in April. Which, according to the locals, is very rare. Thanks to the Mckenzie family for being excellent hosts, while allowing me to stay a few days at there house. Here are some pics of that snowfall. Enjoy!

This is the backyard. (It is April, not December)

Here we are digging out. (Dabe's squared)

Here we are continuing to dig!

Native Troubles

With the terrible living conditions on the native reserves in Canada. The First Nations people are growing terribly frustrated with over 800 land claims still going through the system. Hearing from a couple of chiefs from Ontario and Manitoba, they sound like the situations could become increasingly violent in the months ahead. If they don't get what they want soon. So with that I thought they'll soon be blocking the highways and railroads singing a fight song. And it could go something like this:
I'm gonna git me a shotgun and kill all the whitey's I see,
I'm gonna git me a shotgun and kill all the whitey's I see,
I'm gonna kill, kill, kill, all the whitey's I see,
So whitey give me more moneyeeee,
I'm gonna git me a shotgun and kill all the whitey's I see!
Of course this song is totally for comedic purposes only. And I mean no disrespect to any person. I hope the government works quickly to improve the living conditions for all natives.
