5 Random Thoughts and March Madness Picks

I just have to start with this video: Princeton Black and Orange Remix

Before getting to my March Madness picks, here's 5 Random Thoughts that are just on my mind:

1. My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Japan. I'm also praying for all those involved in the rescue efforts and for a positive outcome for the nuclear situation.
2. What does it take to get some diversity on the Bachelor/Bachelorette? I mean honestly? Last night, the best thing on TV was the Bachelor season finale in which Brad chose Emily, but for years I've been wondering where are the minorities on this show? Not that I watch either the Bachelor or Bachelorette on a regular basis, but whenever I do the there are seems to be no black, Hispanic (I think some Latin American men have been featured), or Asians. Instead we have Flavor Flav, New York, Chance/Real, and Tila Tequila on VH1 - just saying.

3. The NFL Lockout is stupid. Here's my thing about the NFL Lockout: (1) We all know football is going to happen in September, but more important (2) There are everyday people who work for the teams (such as facilities workers and office staff) who are losing paychecks because of this situation - those are the people for whom I am most concerned. Besides, it's not like I'm craving my NFL football right now.

4. Lupe Fiasco's Lasers has nothing on Food and Liquor or The Cool. Lupe Fiasco is probably one of my all-time favorite rappers, but I'm just not going to listen to Lasers because it's not really his vision. I'm sure it's a good album but Lupe's first two albums were hip-hop classics.

5. I only have six more weeks of college left!

Alright time for my picks!
