the Wild Hunt: My take

For a while now I've had the least attention span to movies as I can remember. Can't say exactly why but, I think it has to do with the fact that I haven't been challenged enough by any movie recently.

However, I saw a feature last night in school that wasn't challenging but, rather surprising. Set in medieval times, the Wild Hunt is a movie about love and the length one would go to hold on to it or save it. I can't say enough about this movie. So I'll say, go see it wherever it is showing. If you're in Chicago, you can see it at the Gene Siskel Film Center during the annual underground film festival. Check out the website for dates.

To Nigerian Super Eagles: From Me, With Love

Here's the deal my beloved SUPER EAGLES, I am sick and tired...I'll let little Joshua finish the rest of this speech for me.



In every world stage, there are teams that are there to assist the rest in the quest for the cup and that is not you. Every team and player makes mistakes and I hope you learnt from the first game in this competition. I learnt from following my dream team - The Nigerian Eagles group of all levels - that no team is unbeatable. Now's the time to prove it again.

Remember when you used to play for the love of the game? Remember the passion that used to drive your skills? Remember that this is not just about you and for you? It is time to wake up! It is time to play Nigerian Football. It is time to reclaim your place in the World Football Stage. It is time!

Now, go out there and play with oneness and a sense of purpose! Just DO IT!!!

Blackhawks Win the Stanley Cup in Game 6

So, here's what happened last night in Philly as the Chicago Blackhawks battled for the Stanley Cup. The series ended in overtime with a Kaner (Patrick Kane) goal, making the final score 4-3 in favor of Blackhawks. Even now, I can't express clearly the joy this brings.

So, you can only imagine how happy the entire Blackhawks team must feel at being able to close out the series last night.

The celebrations have begun with the arrival of the Stanley Cup in Chicago early this morning and will continue with a parade in downtown Chicago tomorrow.

Congratulations to the BEST NHL Team of 2010 - Chicago BLACKHAWKS!!! Enjoy the highlights below.

Blackhawks vs Flyers in Stanley Cup Finals: Game 6

As the Chicago Blackhawks are preparing for tonight's game, I can only imagine what's going through their minds. It has been a great finals show-down between Hawks and Philadelphia Flyers and I commend the Flyers for putting up a good fight so far.

However, it is Chicago Blackhawks and ever since I started watching hockey games, I've grown to love how this team take every defeat in stride and bounce back with such determination that leaves their opponents confused. Game 5 was one proof of that fact.

After loosing 2 consecutive games to the flyers in Philadelphia, the Chicago Blackhawks returned in game 5 as if it was the last game in the series with a 7-4 win over the Flyers. May be it was the last game considering that a win tonight by the Hawks will mean bringing home the Stanley Cup. I pray they do.

If you missed Blackhawks' Game 5 against flyers, here it is:




So, good luck tonight Blackhawks! I'll be watching and cheering, laughing at any comic plays, and screaming at the opponents tonight on your behalf. You boys have been great and in my not so humble opinion, the most skilled and classiest team in the NHL.

Go Blackhawks! One Goal!!!
