  • NFL PLAYOFFS 2026!-wild card!

    Hello everyone! Today I’ll be making my predictions and analysis for Wild Card Weekend!

    SATURDAY:
    Panthers vs. Rams
    Yeah, as a Niners fan I’m rooting for the Panthers, but being realistic I don’t really think that the Panthers have it in them to beat the Rams twice, but you never know?
    MY PICK: RAMS

    Bears vs. Packers
    I think this going to be a tight one, I feel like if Chicago can get an early lead, nothing’s stopping them. On the other hand, the Packers, looking to get Jordan Love back look quite strong as well, I think it’s going to be close, ending with Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson orchestrating another game-winning drive.
    MY PICK: BEARS

    SUNDAY:
    Jags vs. Bills
    Another great game! I don’t know why though, I think the Jags are going to get blown out. I think Josh Allen will use his MVP talent and get going right from the start, to a point where, no matter how strong Trevor Lawrence and the Jags are, it will be too late. I one hundred percent wouldn’t be shocked if this game comes down to the wire, I just feel the Bills will win it.
    MY PICK: BILLS

    Eagles vs. 49ers
    Ok so, I’m a bit biased on this one. I am a Niners fan so I am a bit more likely to think that the 49ers will win this……..
    MY PICK: 49ERS

    Pats vs. Chargers
    I feel like the Chargers just won’t be able to do it. I don’t really think they’ll be able to match up with the strong team led by Drake “Drake Maye” Maye. There is for sure a chance that this Pats team will crack under the playoff pressure, I just think that, at the end of the day, the Pats are getting it done.
    MY PICK: PATS

    MONDAY:
    Steelers vs. Texans
    If you have watched football for a few years, you probably know the usual storyline for the Steelers. They have a winning record, make the playoffs, and then lose in the first round. I think this is probably happening again. The Texans defense is so strong and I think they are going to get to Aaron Rodgers and force at least one turnover, the Steelers could still win though, as they do get DK Metcalf back, I just don’t think it’ll happen.
    MY PICK: TEXANS

    This would be the playoff picture with my picks.

    Thanks for reading!

  • NFL WEEK 16 2025-26 season

    PAST WEEK SUMMARY: Philip Rivers is back! Never thought I would say that in 2025 nearing 2026, but here we are! Speaking of things I never expected, the Kansas City Chiefs are eliminated from the playoffs! After 7 straight seasons of going to at least the conference championship their dominance seems to be slowly fading away! Without further to do, let’s get the predictions and analysis started!

    Locks of the Week:
    Bills beat the Browns
    I really don’t think much has to be said. The Bills have the reigning MVP and the Cleveland Browns are the Cleveland Browns. Maybe this game could be better next time they play, when some of the Browns players develop, I just don’t see it happening this Sunday. But do watch out for Myles Garret and the sack record(he’s only one sack away from matching it)!
    Texans beat the Raiders
    For the second week in a row the Texans are on here, partially because of the easy teams they have faced(Las Vegas and Arizona), but also shows how dominant they have been(mainly the defense, but their offense is also putting up great numbers), I honestly think they are winning their division(AFC South), over the Jaguars.

    Upset of the Week:
    Steelers beat the Lions
    I don’t know, I’m just not feeling it with the Lions this year, can’t really say much more other than the fact that the Lions do need this win to keep their playoff hopes alive, so this would be an almost season-ending upset

    Crucial Games if the Week:
    Seahawks vs. Rams
    This match is super crucial in determining who wins the NFC West!
    Bears vs. Packers
    Another key divisional matchup that will almost certainly determine who wins the division and gets home field advantage
    Broncos vs. Jags
    Both teams are in the playoffs and this game will have heavy implications on two main things: who gets the #1 seed in the AFC, and who wins the AFC South

    Fun Fact:
    Philip Rivers would never have played in front of a full Colts crowd until this Monday against the Niners, as when he played in the past there were COVID restrictions

  • 8/7/25-alternate universe

    Daily writing prompt
    Describe your life in an alternate universe.
    View all responses

    It is hard to really say, is this what you would want your life to be in an alternate universe or what it would be. We are so familiarized with our universe, and our society, there is really no way to describe my life in another universe. In terms of what I want to be in this universe, it would be to go to a good college, get a job, and stuff like that(as a 7th grader I don’t really know a lot about this), but I just think this way because that’s the overall framework in the US, and most of the world. If this was all switched, and the way to live was entirely switched up, who knows what I would want. Today’s question is very puzzling because it is simply so vague. I don’t think I can describe my own life completely now because I would be very biased, in fact I think every human would, so describing in an alternate universe may be impossible. It also may just be that I’m overthinking this way too much(which I probably am), but you never know……..

    btw: I am officially changing posting on Thursdays, to posting on Wednesdays because of school timing(it starts later on Wednesdays, so you can expect posts coming in on Wednesday Mornings, the next post will be on the day of the first day of school, so it will probably be about that, maybe starting school again can fix my grammar lol, anyways, thanks for reading!

  • 7/24/25-what we know

    We know a lot, but how much do we not know? I have always wondered about this. Reading books about human evolution and inventions truly makes you marvel how far we have come, and how much we have achieved. How much of what we don’t know will we ever know? Is everything just waiting to be discovered? In recent human times, most of our inventions have just been a chain reaction of some other invention, to give you an example of what I am saying think about the invention of the smart phone. Because of the smart phone, so many companies and inventions have come to life. Like uber or doordash, they are both apps, if it weren’t for the phone, would they ever have happened. Its a trend in history that quite a few people have told me about. history simply states what happened, but never what would have happened. If the Wright Brothers never came up with the plane would we still be traveling by boat to cross vast oceans? If the Americans lost the revolutionary war would there ever be an America?! If humans didn’t evolve and dominate, would tigers rule the planet? These are all unanswered questions that we will probably never know. If we don’t know so much, so much of our world is simply just driven by belief. For example aliens(in this context any living organism outside of earth). In the vast universe it is hard to not think that there is some life out their but the truth is we are not 100% sure yet. The reason why so many are trying to invest in space exploration is because they believe that there is life out there. Overall, the main idea of this post is about how much we really know, how much we have progressed, and how much we will advance.

    thank you for reading!

  • 7/13/25-the hook on stories

    As someone who has read/listened to many books, and watched a few TV shows, I am quite familiar with that feeling. The feeling when you end a series, or finish a TV set. At least for me I feel somewhat of a sadness that the story/journey is over, and always wish that there was more of the story. In fact most of the time, I googled:”will there be another book in the (whatever book I was reading) series”. I was always curious why I felt so strongly about these stories, because the fact is, in a matter of days I would be off on another book. Today, in the morning I was thinking to myself about this as I had just finished a great series(the one of us is lying series by karen m. mcmanus). I did a short calculation and almost instantly realized why. This series contained 3 books, I was mixing between reading and listening(through audiobook),and came to the conclusion that it took me around 8 hours to finish each book, meaning 24 hours in total for the entire series. that equates to one whole day! It took me around a month to read/listen the books(mid-june to mid-july), meaning that in this time frame, I had dedicated 1/30 of my life just to this series! To give context, if we took 1/30 of the US population away it would be like taking everyone in ohio, and making them vanish(no offense intentional for anyone who lives in ohio), so of course we draw a connection to the characters and the story! Similar situation with tv shows. The average count of episodes in one series is about 24(usually split up into around 2 seasons), each around half and hour. This sums up to half a day(12 hours), and if you watch the series in a month, that is 1/60 of the time, and I’m sure it’s better of less, because if it was the same as books, I’m quite certain the glasses industry would go off the charts. In conclusion, whenever you feel sad ending a series, come to this post, it’s got all the facts.
    🙂 hehehe
