PICTURE OF THE WEEK

Notables this week

I gotta say. I am very lucky and thankful for all the amazing people in my life. I feel so loved by y’all and I want to say thank you!

I ALSO gotta say I’m very happy figuring it out(that being life). None of us really know how it’s all going to end up. I’m just excited to be in the car along for the ride. I faced death multiple times in my life and had learned to appreciate all the good the world has to offer. I’m truly enjoying the journey, especially with all you in the car along for the ride with me! Truly lucky to have so many people show me love and be excited for me. So thank you!

All I want in life is to bring people joy and entertain y’all when you need it!

Entertainment this week

T.V. - FINALLY STARTED THE PITT

Damn its good! Reminds you how good you have it. A friend shared what Pope Francis wrote before he passed away. Really made me think about this show and how true Pope Francis statement was:

“The walls of hospitals have heard more honest prayers than churches...They have witnessed far more sincere kisses than those in airports...It is in hospitals that you see a homophobe being saved by a gay doctor.A privileged doctor saving the life of a beggar...In intensive care, you see a Jew taking care of a racist...A police officer and a prisoner in the same room receiving the same care...A wealthy patient waiting for a liver transplant, ready to receive the organ from a poor donor...It is in these moments, when the hospital touches the wounds of people, that different worlds intersect according to a divine design. And in this communion of destinies, we realize that alone, we are nothing.The absolute truth of people, most of the time, only reveals itself in moments of pain or in the real threat of an irreversible loss.A hospital is a place where human beings remove their masks and show themselves as they truly are, in their purest essence.This life will pass quickly, so do not waste it fighting with people.Do not criticize your body too much.Do not complain excessively.Do not lose sleep over bills.Make sure to hug your loved ones.Do not worry too much about keeping the house spotless.Material goods must be earned by each person—do not dedicate yourself to accumulating an inheritance.. . .You are waiting for too much: Christmas, Friday, next year, when you have money, when love arrives, when everything is perfect...Listen, perfection does not exist.A human being cannot attain it because we are simply not made to be fulfilled here.Here, we are given an opportunity to learn.So, make the most of this trial of life—and do it now.Respect yourself, respect others. Walk your own path, and let go of the path others have chosen for you.Respect: do not comment, do not judge, do not interfere.Love more, forgive more, embrace more, live more intensely!And leave the rest in the hands of the Creator.”

So well said! That being said, go watch this show!

Movies - SINNERS

I tried to go see this on Saturday and was sold out! So it must be good! Cant wait to see it.

Music - Seeing Them in a Couple weeks at the Salt Shed with my Cuz! So happy he didn’t ask me and just bought the tickets and then asked me if I wanted to go! Cause the answer was always HELL YEAH!

Weather this week

HOT Start to the week but then back to the Chilly Spring Vibes… BRING ON THE FUCKING HEAT! LETS GO!

Sports this week

LADIES AND GENTS! I have officially out sourced my Sports Section to writers in India! Just kidding, I went with one of the most ELECTRIC SPORTS GUY I KNOW! FOLKS LETS WELCOME CODY FRAZIER!

Hello everyone! My name is Cody Frazier. Chicagos favorite bartender (Anthony Hernandez) asked me if I could take a swing at the sports section of his weekly blog so, let’s do that! 

       As I sit in the Starbucks at North & Damen, sipping my chai latte. Shedeur Sanders still has not been drafted by ANYONE. Is he even good? The wildly intelligent Chicago Bears took Colston Loveland (Tight-End/ Michigan), Luther Burden III (Receiver/ Missouri), and Shemar Turner ( Defensive Tackle/ Texas A&M), and maybe pick for best name in the draft Ozzy Trapilo (Offensive Tackle/ Boston College). Early thoughts? Bears might just win the Super Bowl! Orrrrrr back door into a wildcard spot and lose by a field goal who knows!! 

      In the Chicago baseball world, I’m a shock to everyone. The Cubs MIGHT be good. Sweeping the Dodgers in a 2 game series, with an extra inning, walk-off win on Tuesday night. If you didn’t see the mighty Cubbies not only beating last years World Champion Dodgers in both games AND holding arguably the best player to ever play the game, Shohei to just 1 hit in those two games….do you even know ball?? The Cubs just might be almost kinda sorta good. 

       The White Sox started the week in Boston. Let me tell ya, playing the Red Sox, on a 60 degree Patriots Day, with the Boston Marathon going. The White Sox should’ve just done the best to speed the game along and get on the plane ride home. The Sox then came home and had a rough go against the Twins, but chiseled out a win Thursday after a rain delay. The White Sox unfortunately couldn’t hold onto the lead Friday night and lost to the Athletics 5-6. They play again Saturday at 3:05, if you wanna make a quick buck. Betting on homeruns in the Athletic’s makeshift stadium is easy money. 

   I’ll leave it at that for this week! Hope you all enjoy! If you didn’t just lie and say you did! I’ll get better!!

AMAZING! Thank you Cody and I hope you’re right and the Bears winning a Super Bowl!

This is so much better than me just commenting on staring at Baseball Players butts….

Feel Free to Email Cody about any sport related questions, especially on Sport Betting!

And that’s all the N.E.W.S. For now.
