time for another blog

well yes, iv been thinkin about peoples differents opinions lately and how people from different cultures have different opinions for certain reasons. it is our human nature to think our way of doing something, especially when it has been done in our society for years and years is the best way of doing it. while learning so much about other cultures this semester iv sometimes think that the way other cultures live would be much more peaceful and right. dont get me wrong, i love my country but i dont always think that money, power, and oil are the most important things in the world ,rather things like family, culture, history and being united seem more important to me. these feeling have had me interested in the new los rios study abroad program. until next time, im trying to get out of here:)

Alex Rodriguez admits to steroid use

Many players have been accused of using steriods in the major league baseball era of today. however; many players have also denied these clams as fauls accusations when everyone in their right mind knows that they did it. this was not the case for Alex Rodriguez who today admitted to the use of steroids in the years of 2001, 2002, and 2003. i commend his honesty and believe that is the best way to go about handling these accusations. it seems like day after day there is more information leaking out about another player using steroids, but still they embarrass themselves and lie when everyone knows that they did it. (Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds, ect.) so i commend A-Rod for that, however it just pisses me off that all these players are being paid millions of dollars to be professional atheletes and they cant even be professional with their decisions or take accountability for their actions. even though alex admits to using steroids he says that he has no idea what he was taking or who he was getting it from. what kind of professional athlete are you to be putting things in your body that you have no idea about. i just know that these players are lying through their teeth in saying such things and im sure they knew. so at this point i am sick of baseball and all of its drama and cheaters.
