Happy Monday!
“We’ve always defined ourselves by the ability to overcome the impossible.”
Not only did this teaser trailer solidify all my hopes for Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar back in late 2013, but this 2-minute video serves as inspiration with a side of chills for every occasion.
Every occasion, including a rainy Monday.
Go ahead, watch it again…and again.
Have an Awe-Inspired Week!
Happy Monday!
Light Blue v. Dark Blue.
Public v. Private.
UNC v. Villanova.
The 2016 NCAA National Championship game is set to take off in Houston, Texas at NRG Stadium, which will inspire either Chapel Hill or Philadelphia to erupt in celebration late tonight as this season’s king of college basketball.
Even though there is no Cinderella in the title game, the two major programs (sporting varying shades of blue) will have a David v. Goliath aura. The Tar Heels currently have 5 championships to their name, while the Wildcats have one title.
Roy Williams will have the opportunity to hoist his 3rd national championship as the head coach of UNC in 11 years. When you consider the relentless competition from teams around the country and the recruitment cycle and enrolling players and graduating players, winning 3 national championships in 11 years would be an incredible achievement.
In order for Roy Williams and his team to cap off (and earn another cap/hat) another golden season, the Tar Heels will have to beat a talented Villanova squad that embarrassed the Oklahoma Sooners in the Final Four with the final score of 95-51. The challenge is there and, before UNC can cut down the nets for the 6th time, they will need to burn the nets with three’s and two’s NBA Jam-style and rattle the rim with dunks.
What’s at stake?
Go Tar Heels!!
Happy Monday!
For some strange reason, the journey to an athletic championship is sometimes given greater value than the actual championship game and its eventual winner.
Once again, Jimmy’s Daily Planet wants to introduce some of that pre-championship coverage to musical scores. Specifically, Hans Zimmer and Junkie XL, who are the joint composers of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
Going inside the minds to learn a little bit how the creative process works is something special. Discovering the inspirational sparks that led Mr. Zimmer and Mr. XL to go from the blank page at Point A to the finished sound at Point Z is not only cool, but educational if you listen carefully.
A rare combination, yes, but a wonderful sentiment and incentive for Monday.
Have an Awesome Week!
Happy Pi Day!
What do you get when you mix sand and pie?
Wait, not that pie. A different kind of a pi. A less tasty, but mathematically delicious pi.
Mathematically speaking, today is when everything in your life will come full circle…
Have a Fun Week That Ranks Somewhere Between a 3 and a 4!
