A Look at NSNsports.net

The thing about NSNsports.net that immediately struck me when I visited the homepage was their excellent video content, including recaps of previous games and complete online game video. I was surprised to see they offer live streaming of ongoing games with commentary. It's an amazing concept that an online website can offer game action of Lyndon State Div III basketball. The video quality isn't the greatest, but the fact they even have video is impressive.

Ease of use is excellent on the site, everything is clearly labeled for the most part with tabs for high school, college, etc. They have various blogs which I find useful, although the downside to these blogs is the font size is too small! I have excellent eyesight and I really have to strain to see it.

The part of their website that I didn't think was being utilized to it's full potential was the text content. The text is boring, there isn't any color to their sports writing. The positive to this approach is it gets the main points across to readers, but I would like to see captivating headlines and some player quotes. I don't think there is any substitute for player remarks, they typically know better than anyone what's going on with the game.

Not taking life too seriously

Alright, as far as I'm concerned, "New Years Resolutions" are ridiculous. I understand that the premise behind them is to set a new group of goals for a new year. The reality is we should be setting goals for ourselves whenever we feel something about our life needs to change. Most of the time, people end up with the same NEW year's resolutions every year, because they didn't achieve what they set out to do at the start of the past year.

My latest goal for how I want to live my life is to not take it too seriously. Now obviously, there are certain things in life that need to be taken seriously. Applying yourself in school, chores, commitments. What I'm talking about is looking at everyday without worrying what people will think, and just making sure to have fun! Positive fun, not fun that's in bad taste, of course. It isn't funny to phone in a fake rape case, as happened in my dorm around 1am today. No, that's criminal.

For whatever reason, ever since middle school, I have not been able to truly enjoy life. I feel as though I've just been coasting along, getting older, but not getting any more out of life. I've found a reason to change my outlook. Sometimes all it takes is one person to inspire you, and you'll be hearing more about this person in a day or two.

Now, I challenge myself to get out of the box! I need to challenge myself to laugh louder, smile wider, and breathe deeper.

My question to anyone who reads this is do you have any advice for making life a more enjoyable experience? Feel free to say whatever comes to mind, all it takes is one person to inspire!!
