Let's talk the Simpsons. After meeting the favorable Yeardley Smith, the voice of Lisa, I felt compelled to write as throughout my childhood and adult years, the Simpsons have always been pleasurable to watch. Its diverse characters are well developed and well scripted. With the Simpsons debut on the conservative broadcasting station, FOX, in December 1989, it continues to create new episodes today.

Evidently, in October 2011 (-just last month!), Fox announced that The Simpsons had been renewed for a 24th and 25th season.

Next, can you say NBA lockout?!? What is going on with this?!?! With our country still not back in a secure position, our athletes command more money? It is hurting us all by those who are economically supported by such professional entertainers. I for one do not believe this sets a good example, it's another example of American Greed. As a child looking up to NBA stars this is not a role model I would consider a good one. Meanwhile, common American people are continuing to occupy Wallstreet as the '99%' to cry out for unjustice. A big difference in what is considered unjust.

Today, it is mentioned how NBA players are considering an appeal to the National Labor Relations Board for decertification of the players' union. A law suit? C'mon. This is sports, an entertainment occupation, play or leave the court.

Life continues as the weekend stares me in the face on this rainy Friday afternoon and I look forward to it!
