So... apparently League of Legends is a sport. Like actually one that could be in the olympics as soon as League of Legends. It's pretty official. It's in Forbes.
So what's your opinion?
Me? League in the Olympics?! Like what! I don't really play that many video games, but I do know quite a few people who play (or have played) League. Still, I feel like the Olympics should be kept to games where you actually... well do stuff. However, it is true that League of Legends is competitive and requires team work. Plus apparently there's already this thing called E-sports that's basically the olympics of gaming.
The thing is,
Is it sad that the definition of sports has been stretched to include computer games, and that computer games made it into the olympics before chess, or checkers, or even dance?
Or is it just sports adjusting to our time period?

Trial = Justice?
Yesterday the outcome of the George Zimmerman trial came out and he was proven not guilty of anything. Yesterday, the outcome of another, lesser known trial came out as well. This person, was convicted with 20 years in jail. The only differences were:
in one case a seventeen year old boy with skittles died and in the other no one got hurt (physically)
in one case the person being convicted was a hispanic and in the other it was a african american
in one case the person being convicted was a male and in the other it was a female
If you want to read more into the other story, then here: read it.
Anyway, George Zimmerman should not have been let off without anything. No sentence, no fine, no nothing, especially if this women got 20 years in prison. George Zimmerman killed a boy, does that mean nothing to people? And for those people who think George Zimmerman was innocent and have a good reason, then feel free to comment below.

"What would you do if you weren't afraid"
~ Spencer Johnson M.D. in Who Moved My Cheese
Me? I don't know, I'm too afraid to say.
But honestly. When you read this quote you have to wonder what you're afraid of. Society? Failure? Your parents? Your peers? It takes courage to do what you want to do. What do you want to be? Who are you? An actor, a singer, an author? A biologist, a politician, a businessman? Maybe just someone who has an impact on the world or someone's life. Someone who wants to leave this world a better place. Whatever. Of course, not everyone can be an actor, or a biologist, or a politician. The question is have you tried despite your fears? How do you know you won't be successful? And if you are already at your dream job, aren't you glad you tried? Everyone knows, not everyone will get their dream job, but who knows?
