It's a big world.

There are billions of people living on this rock we live in. Among them, there are probably a bit over a 1000 that we are actually acquainted with. More than a tenth of that thousand are people you may see on a daily basis whether it's going to school, work, or having fun. More than half of those people are your friends who you would hang out with frequently and such. And when you reach the bottom of those who are most friendly with you and you see almost all the time are your family and close friends. But what about everyone else. Those other billions of people have no idea who you are, who your friends are, what you do daily, etc. The same goes for you. Think of all the cars that drive down those traffic filled roads. All have a different agenda, different reasons for doing whatever it is they are doing, and a different family and groups of friends and emotional ties and every single thing that you have except entirely different. This realization has made me dizzy in thinking about the vastness of the earth. It has brought a new sense of wonder and awe into my life.

Chase Utley

Chase Utley made his first start of the year on Monday night against the Reds. He had been rehabing with the single A team Clearwater. He seemed ready and started at second base for the Phillies. Even though he went O-5 his impact jumstarted a slumping Phillies offense. The Phillies went for 10 runs and 14 hits. It was in all a great welcome back.

Everyone likes different sports but mine is soccer. I have played it since I was four and play for Bonner. I enjoy watching it on television usually the MLS. The new expansion team in Philadelphia is the Union. This is their second season in Philadelphia. They had less than ten wins in their first season. Now they have one of the best records in the MLS thanks to their drafts in the off season. Their future seems bright.

Feds take on the Mob

Today the alleged mob leader "Uncle Joe" was taken down. He was hit with gambling and racketeering charges. This incident is scary because it shows that organized crime is still alive today. 11 others were also taken down with Uncle Joe. What this shows me is that justice will prevail and no matter how elusive the mob may be, they can't hide from the law forever.
