Happy New Year all year long
January 1 is the official New Year of the Gregorian calendar that is recognized throughout the world. Each year at this time people make resolutions but very rarely carry them out. This can be disappointing but a way to counter falling short is to renew what you have determined to do each time a different New Year is observed. This gives you a focal point where you can check yourself and update your plans.

The Mentality Prison
Well just in case you don’t know what mentality is then just understand that it is the way you think, and it can be different from one person to another but generally you can classify persons in different groups. You have the pessimists who always think negatively, the optimists who always think positively the narcissist and many other groups. In society, we tend to see different groups emerge based on status, you have the hardworking people who believe that everything is possible and you have the unlucky persons who feel like things are never going to work out at all. You can really see all the diversity in the way we as humans think on a daily basis, I’m not sure if we are predisposed to think in a certain way or if its the experiences we go through which shape our thinking but experiments have shown that even when you put two persons under the same conditions, their way of thinking could be totally opposite. This is to say that you can’t really mold a person’s mentality into what you want, all you can do is expose them to the right stimuli and hope for the best.

"Hobo Johnson Alienates His Fanbase" Is Misunderstood, Just Like the Generation It's Written About
Have you ever heard or watched something so awful that it was actually good? Take Tommy Wiseau’s 2003 cult classic, The Room, for example; it’s mind-numbing but nonetheless impactful. That’s my impression of artist Hobo Johnson’s newest album: Hobo Johnson Alienates His Fanbase. With 20 minutes and 46 seconds of chaotic, whiny, and downright not-giving-a-fuck-ness, 26-year-old Hobo Johnson manages to put his listener into the deranged headspace of a young adult growing up in the complex, media-hungry, extremist times of today. Commenting on socio-political topics such as the effects of capitalism, the true ideological foundation of socialism, and the trials of wavering mental health and consequential medication, the singer and lyricist are bold enough to state the effectual dilemmas of this young generation, alienating those who cannot relate to its candid content.

The History of Basketball
In 1892, a YMCA gym teacher named James Naismith was at a school in Springfield Massachusetts trying to come up with a new indoor game that would keep children physically active during the cold winter months. The purpose of the game was to keep students ready for spring sports that involved physical activity. He wrote down 13 rules and nailed them to the wall, thus creating basketball.
