Berto vs. Collazo this Saturday

For those of you interested in the big rising star, Andre Berto, be sure to tune in to HBO this Saturday night as he faces his first true test of his young career. Berto is currently my favorite boxer, and I have been waiting for this fight for months. It will be the first defense of his WBC welterweight title, and should be a great bout as he faces Luis Collazo. Check in for the review, which I will probably do on Sunday.

Situation in Gaza

Just wanted to come on here to say a few things about the situation in Gaza. As you can see, our lovely military is not putting forth any effort to go and save the people of the Hamas run government. This is fine considering since they are considered somewhat of a terrorist group, but there needs to be an end to Israel's attacks. The rest of the United Nations are looking for ways to end this conflict, but the United States seems to have no interest in finding any resolve. Seems pretty contradictory considering we wanted to make "peace" in the Middle East.

It is about time the U.S. (and the rest of the world) realize that no matter how much fire power we bring to the area, we will never be able to end these struggles. This fighting is religiously based and has been going on far longer than we have even been a nation. Would we want some foreign country coming into the states and telling us we could not choose to worship the way we choose? Fighting in the Middle East will never cease, so instead of sending ignorant uneducated soldiers whom have been brainwashed by their leading officers, we just need to get out of there before thousands more die. We need to figure out our own problems in the country (especially economically) before we go fixing other problems. As you can see our economy has not fared too well by dumping billions of dollars a week into the "war" in Iraq. Help us Obama!

Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale

Over the Christmas/New Year's holiday I tried several new beers, so I could be here all day sharing my experiences with you. However, I just decided to review one that I had on both tap and bought a six pack. Sierra Nevada's Celebration Ale is an absolutely excellent winter seasonal brew. It certainly an India Pale Ale due to its hazy amber color and the very pronounced hoppy taste. There is also a taste citrus in the background which was clearly divided out into perfect proportions to keep the hoppy bitterness and not turn it into a Hefeweizen. Another major plus is the thick lacing on the glass. After taking about a half hour to drink one, the lacing was still prominent on the top. If you are a fan of seasonal beers or IPAs, then I would tell you to not hesitate ans grab a sixer before they are done for the winter. Easily receives an A grade.

Happy Drinking!
