Patriots Finally Getting It

            First off, I just want to say I called this when the Patriots were playing the Seahawks in the Super Bowl.  I never liked them because they’ve always been a bunch of cheaters.  I didn’t care for either team during the Super Bowl but I just really didn’t want the Patriots to win.  I’m happy there is some punishment but if it were me, I’d be a little more severe.
            
            If you didn’t hear, the Patriots were caught deflating the football from this last season, which is also known as cheating.  They’ve been caught before in previous seasons for videotaping the New York Jets’ defensive coaches’ signal back in 2007, which is not allowed.  The National Football League (NFL) fined the Patriots coach, Bill Belichick, and the Patriots team.  There were other rumors about them videotaping other teams like the St. Louis Rams.  Huh, doesn’t seem like they should be trusted does it?  But to my disbelief, they got to continue on. 
            
           It’s been a while since they were last caught.  I guess I can’t say they were definitely cheating but once a cheater, always a cheater.  That’s why they were recently caught again!  Luckily it wasn’t videotaping again.  This time they were deflating the football for the games!  Sweet!
            
          The chairman and CEO of the Patriots, Robert Kraft, obviously thinks the punishment was too severe.  How is it too severe if they’ve been caught cheating before?  Especially since they’ve done it again.  Obviously he is biased on the matter but I think he just looks idiotic, but I’m sure others would disagree. 


Despite the fact that I don’t like the Patriots, there are definitely people looking out for them.  Other players and celebrities were sticking up for Brady and the fans seem genuinely disappointed rather than ashamed.  Some think there was enough proof like Donald Trump, but I think its preeeetty certain of what was going on.  

Miley Cyrus: Pro or Against?

           We ALL know of Miley Cyrus and the actions she takes, and obviously she is aware too, but is it that bad?  Yes, Miley dances on a hotdog in some interesting leotards and I don’t really get the point, but it isn’t like she’s encouraging that behavior.  It’s hard because people tend to look up to celebrities and mimic their actions, but Miley DOES encourage her smilers to be individual and true to themselves.  It’s a good message to give to the fans!  She’s just encouraging people to be individual and not care, which is really important. A
            
            She strongly supports good causes and peoples’ choices too.  She has shown immense support for Bruce Jenner along with the LGBT community.  Remember when she brought the homeless man as her date for the VMA’s?  I think we all were confused because she was so supportive, but all was quiet for a little while after, leaving us wondering what was behind that story.  All of me

 Now she’s launched the Happy Hippie Foundation, a charity foundation to benefit LGBT, homelessness, and at-risk youth.  She announced it during a backyard concert featuring various artists like Joan Jett and Laura Jane Grace. Alabama and Alaska


With Miley radiating with positive vibes, it makes you question your opinion of her, or at least I do.  I do think she is a little wild and rambunctious.  I do give her credit for trying to create change in the world and trying to make equality happen among the people.  She’s giving everyone a chance and we should give her a chance to be herself.  It’s my opinion and I speak for myself, but you can pick your side of the story.  Are you pro Miley or against her? Ask me not

Kylie Jenner Lip Challenge


            We’ve all seen pictures of Kylie Jenner before the lip enhancement and after.  I don’t know if she just really knows how to use a lip pencil, or if she took to cosmetic surgery, or whatever.  Either way it’s become a really hot topic to discuss.  She’s address the discussion before and politely asked for it to stop, but that never works. 

            It’s been a consistent topic of discussion but it tends to die down for a while, or at least until she posts a new selfie.  The people of the internet have taken a new direction of talk about the lips.  The #KylieJennerChallenge.  Yes, it’s been very popular on twitter and it was briefly trending on twitter for, let’s say, a week.  It didn’t last as long as it could’ve I guess but long enough to buzz.  People who attempted the challenge would get a small cup, whether it was a shot class, bottle, or anything with a small rim, but you could still fit your mouth in.  You then suck up all the air in the container like a vacuum and give it a little while.  Then, you remove your mouth from the container and congratulations!  You’re lips are swollen and look relatively similar to Kylie’s!!  People would post pictures or their reaction once they removed the container, and that is what got it popular.  For a while.

            The aftermath was not as funny.  The swelling would of course go down but some would find a bruised ring around their mouth and very likely would experience pain.  Who would want to take the pain and do that?  Unfortunately since it got around, many teens, some younger than Kylie who is only 17, have taken to the challenge?  Who knows what happens if you leave it too long or if it doesn’t go away??  It’s gross and terrible. 

            Kylie of course, has not taken part in the challenge or encouraged it by any means.  She’s been smart to not address it.  Being as famous as she is to create the look people are copying, it could help the “challenge” die down a little.

            I’ll spare you the pictures because it’s gross a semi horrifying, but be aware, it does more harm than good.
