To begin this post I'd like to take a paragraph or so dedicated to the wonderful world of exercising. According to the U.S. Census at this very minute on this very day, there are 303,669,778 people that live in the land of the free. I've often asked myself, how many people really do exercise? Sure, there's factors that prohibit people from exercising as well as I'm sure there are factors that inhibit exercising. I started to actually "exercise" about 6 months ago in the Evergreen State. Have I experienced a drastic change in appearance? No idea. But I do feel better and want to eat better. Key word being want. I also realize that some people get their exercise in different ways. There have been countless articles about what exercise can do for you besides give your body a little lovin'. I got this from a kid's health site that gave a few reasons why exercise is "good for you".
- Exercise benefits every part of the body including the mind (endorphins produced to make a person feel more peaceful and happy)
- Exercise helps people to lose weight and lower the risk of some diseases
- Exercise can help a person age well
Well, it is good for you, and at least your body will tell you "hey, thanks a lot buddy."
A lot of controversy has surrounded those selected into this years NCAA Tournament. I can't complain because Arizona got an at-large bid, but who knows how much it was really deserved. Does the nation seem to forget that Arizona took Kansas into overtime in the beginning of the season? Kansas was selected as a number one seed people. Well, the big story is that not one but two analysts on ESPN.com are saying that the WIldcats are going to be the stunner this year and get to the Elite 8. This includes hired "bracketologist" Joe Lunardi who studies college basketball all day long. I went out on a limb and said, sure, if Arizona is on their game they can beat almost anyone in the country. I followed suit and dare I say it, Arizona will make it to the Elite 8. The big win will come in the second round over Duke which I and about every other Arizona Wildcat would love to see. We'll see what happens but when it all comes down to it, UCLA is the best team in the nation, as long as they can get over the couple of injuries they sustained in the Pac-10 Tournament. They have all the tools necessary to win a national championship. Who knows though, this years bracket is so messed up, I wouldn't be surprised if Oral Roberts was crowned as the national champion on April 7.
**The Rockets 23 game winning streak came to an end when they faced the dominant Boston Celtics. Who saw that one coming? Allen Iverson putting his hand up to his ear upon his return to Philly? Come on. Tiger's run at the Master's...any takers? Who will win the NCAA tournament?
