Happy Shark Week!
In honor of The Discovery Channel’s annual phenomenon known as “Shark Week,” today’s post will (of course) feature a shark-related video. Is it the teeth? The fins? The terrifying mystery of whether a shark is swimming beneath or around you in the ocean? Is it pure curiosity stemming from watching a movie by this guy named Steven Spielberg that practically scared everybody from swimming at beaches in the summertime?
Whatever the reason for tuning in is, it’s a fascinating time of year to safely observe and learn something new about the most feared (and possibly admired) predators in our oceans.
Take a Real Bite Out of This Week!

The day has finally arrived: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles premieres to audiences nationwide tonight!
The first live-action movie since the ’90s featuring the fighting ninja turtles was produced by Transformers guru Michael Bay. That means a few things: big, continuous action sequences, attractive female leads, special effects around every corner and a fair amount of destruction.

Here’s to hoping this degree will help me feel this way for the foreseeable future.

Tonight will see soccer juggernaut Bayern Munich battle Chivas Guadalajara in Red Bull Arena in New Jersey for a friendly as part of a mini United States tour for the German champions. While several of their key players are MIA after deep runs in Brazil (including World Cup glory for a few), there will undoubtedly be talent on the pitch this evening.
How do I know?
Well, I looked at the roster (which includes superstar in-the-making Julian Green) and because Bayern Munich’s coach is Pep Guardiola. Pep is a tactical maestro. Need proof? Recall that he was the architect of Barcelona’s recent historic run and the fact that he was two victories away in the Champions League from sweeping all titles during his freshman year (2013-2014) in Munich.
Since today is Thursday, it’s time for a throwback to the past. And today’s featured player is Pep Guardiola the player.
He had a pretty decent shot, wouldn’t you say?
By some strike of very good fortune/parents, I will be in Red Bull Arena cheering, “Go Bayern Munich!
