Errol Spence Jr. vs Terrence Crawford
Fight night is upon us, and the highly anticipated showdown between Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr. is set to be one of the most significant fights in recent boxing history. This battle is the biggest non-heavyweight fight since Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao in 2015. The difference here is that both Spence and Crawford are undefeated, making it a clash where "someone's O has got to go"! With both fighters boasting a plethora of accolades, the matchup promises to deliver fireworks in the ring. As a fervent boxing enthusiast, I firmly back Terence Crawford to emerge victorious, either by a unanimous or split decision. Here's why I believe Crawford has the edge in this epic encounter.

It's time for you to build your own Computer
Building your own PC can be a rewarding experience as it allows you to handpick each component to suit your specific needs. Custom-built PCs often perform better and have a longer lifespan than pre-built ones because they use higher quality components. Additionally, building your own PC can save you money as assemblers often markup the prices of components. Additionally, it allows you to have full control over the components and upgrades that you want, and you don't have to rely on proprietary parts that may prevent repairs once a component fails. Overall, building your own PC is a great option for those who want a high-performing, customized machine at a lower cost. In this post, I’ll go over things to consider before building a PC, suggested parts for building your PC, and finally, how to build your PC. Let’s get started!

DIY: Cleaning your headlights
One of my pet peeves has always been dirty cars. Sometimes, no matter how hard you clean your car, the appearance of dirtiness will always be there. Recently, I noticed that my headlights were starting to dim, so I wanted to do something about this. As your car ages, the headlights can become yellowed and foggy, making it difficult for the light to shine through. This can not only be unsightly, but also dangerous when driving at night. If you've tried cleaning your headlights and they still appear dirty, it may be that the dirt and yellowing is coming from the inside of the headlight. More likely, if you find that the dirt and grime is on the outside of the headlight, there's a simple and inexpensive solution to restoring the clarity of your headlights with a simple ingredient that most people (I would hope) have in their homes. That ingredient is toothpaste!

The Journey to Becoming Disciplined
We all have moments in our lives in which we feel we are squandering our potential and are not living up to our ambitions. This moment came for me when I noticed I had completely disregarded my responsibilities and was stuck in a comfort zone that precluded me from growing. But eventually, I realized that this lifestyle was not sustainable and it didn’t align with my values. I noticed that I needed to realign myself with my values and needed to take action to do so.
