New Face of Rap

Tupac, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar; all names that you think of when you talk about rappers who made a big impact on the rap world. But anymore, names like, Future, Ty Dolla $ign, and Fetty Wap have taken over the "rap" game. Unfortunately, their music talks about the same thing in every song and there seems to be no creativity. One name, however, that seens to be getting the rap game back to the art that it used to be, is G-Eazy; an up-incoming artist from Oakland, CA.

I have followed the rise of G-Eazy for quite some time now going all the way back to his first songs. The messages in songs have grown to be content that you stop and really listen to. He talks about his personal life, how his rise has changed the way he looks at fame, and about how hard he has worked to get to this level. Today he just came out with his new music video for his song Me, Myself, and I, and I must say; it is the best rap song that has came out in 2015. The messages within the lyrics of this song really make you think about how fame can change someone and how there are underlying catches with becoming famous. G-Eazy is the new face of rap, and eventually he will break through into one of the biggest names in the game.

Beginning My Journey to the PGA

As I begin the process of becoming a member of the PGA of America, I have started to see how becoming a professional in golf is more business than golf itself. Though I will be giving lessons, playing in PGA sponsored tournaments, and spending my leisure time on the links, the business side of golf may be more important to my success. Retailing, book keeping, and business planning are just a few of the every day activities that will be in my job description and all of which I will continue to hone throughout my career. I look forward to beginning my journey to the PGA and hopefully my background in business will allow me to see much success!

Black Bull: A Golf Community

Over the past few months I have been lucky enough to work at Black Bull. A private golfing community in Bozeman, MT. What started as a summer job has turned into the possibility of a career. At the beginning of May, I started working at Black Bull as a bag boy. I would welcome members, help them with anything they needed, and make sure that they enjoy every experience that they have at this amazing course. While the practice and playing privileges are a bonus, the best part about my job is interacting with members, getting to know them, and truly feeling like I am part of the community. 

I recently approached the head golf professional about possibly being an apprentice for the following golf season and working my way towards being one of the assistant golfing professionals. It didn't take much convincing for him to tell me that he would be more than happy to help me with this pursuit. Since that day, I have been working closely with him as well as the current assistant professional with figuring out the steps that I need to be taking to best position myself for success. As the golfing season comes to a close, I am happy to be staying around the sport until the snow melts and the grass gets green again. I look forward to starting my journey in the golfing profession and I can't wait to start the next step in the process. 

Winning and the Losing

As the football season nears the halfway point, the Montana State Bobcats are sitting at 3-2 on the season. 3 wins at home and 2 loses on the road. The first loss of the season came to a very talented Eastern Washington team in Cheney, Washington. The first road game of the season and the Cats came away with a 50-55 loss. The following week, a very convincing win over Cal Poly made the season look like it would be a good one. That is until we traveled to Northern Arizona in Flagstaff. Another offensive shootout ended in a 41-49 loss of the Cats and took their season to a 2-2 mark. home field advantage so far this season has seemed to be a helping factor as we have seen 2 wins at home and 2 losses on the road. 

This trend continued after yesterday's win against conference foe, Sacramento State. Another home win for the Bobcats and with the Bobcat's schedule alternating home and away each week of the season, continuing this winning/losing trend will not be enough for the team to make the playoffs. Another test will come this weekend as we travel to Portland to take on the 4-1 Portland State Vikings. We are entering must-win territory and any more losses for the Cats can truly hurt their playoff chances. 

Do You Think America Is The Greatest Country In The World?

For the longest time, America was seen as the greatest country in the world by a lot of people and a lot of other countries. I used to think that I lived in the best place I could. But as I've grown up and seen the things going on in our country, I've started to think that we aren't the greatest country anymore. This video clip is from the show, The Newsroom, and when I first saw this clip, a lot of the things that were said about why America isn't so "star spangled awesome" I agreed with and still to this day agree with. What is happening to the United States? According to the Good Country Index,

the United States actually ranks 21st in worlds best countries based on science and technology, culture, international peace and security, world order, and other deciding factors. 21st is a very eye opening position in my opinion. From a young age we have been told that we live in the greatest country and that not many people have it as good as we do. While there are a lot of people who don't live as good of lives as us, there are countries who have a better living situation. So what do you think about the US's ranking of 21st? Do you think that that number is accurate? Or do you believe that numbers don't mean anything and we do in fact live in the greatest country in the world?
