Duke vs. North Carolina

If you look at my poll on the sidebar you will see that Duke is winning. I personally believe that Duke is a better team; always has been and always will be. I know some of you will bring up the point that the Tar Heels won the NCAA tournament last year, but I will contradict that point. Last year, their starting line up consisted of many seniors and very experienced ball players including Tyler Hansbrough; while Duke had only one senior in the starting five last year. Even with a little less talent, the Blue Devils were able to hold their own last season and plan to this year, too. Everyone claims that North Carolina is better since Michael Jordan played on that team, but Duke also has a celebrity that is part of their program -- Coach Krzyzewski, otherwise known as Coach K. His coaching skills are so prominent and well-known that he was chosen to coach the Olympic basketball team and ended up leading them to gold. These facts clearly state that Duke is a steadily good team and will win a championship in the near future.

Music

Music flowing through the ears,
Eyes filling with forbidden tears.
Around and around it will travel,
Some memories begin to unravel.
Feelings and emotions start to burst,
Yet to come is the absolute worst.
For when the song comes to a halt,
There will soon be a terrible fault.

The two sides of Wemmick

Although it is known throughout the world that treating people with respect and kindness is the most important rule of mankind, some choose to turn against it. Wemmick, a man with two completely different lives, is one of them and needs to get his personal ethics and morals in line. At home, he is a honest man, one who abides by the Golden Rule and doesn’t turn against it; at work, though, he is like a flipped coin, deceiving others here, there and everywhere. This behavior is due to the fact that he is a selfish and conceited man, too afraid that taking a different path in his work life will afflict his personal life. With fear conning him into a different personality, Wemmick is becoming a changed man with different morals than before, he needs to take the reins of his life and start changing the course that he is on.

The Battle Against Mrs. Joe

Rather than a father-figure, Joe is more of an equal or a brother to Pip. Together, they face the wrath of Mrs. Joe; always standing up for one another. When she starts to attack Pip for asking too many questions, Joe steps in to save the day. If she gets on Joe's case for saying something wrong, Pip never leaves his side. Their small army is marching to war and will stop at nothing to defeat their enemy, Mrs. Joe.
