Where I can just sit there all day, seemingly without a care in the world. They don't happen often, but that's what makes them even more

Cold waves greedily lapped at my back. The pleasant breeze had been replaced with a strong wind, roaring with the pleasure of seeing me struggle. My water skis joined in the process of torturing me. They weighed down on me teasing “Ha, ha you’re gonna drown”. The boulders beneath the water seemed to boast their superiority in making me feel scared. My arms and legs tingled with the thought of sinister water creatures dragging me down to the watery depths, even though my skis could touch the bottom

an athlete until the scandal that would go down in history. The scandal that would bring more light to figure skating than ever before.

On October 6th, 1994 as Nancy Kerrigan was leaving practice in Detroit Michigan, she was attacked by an unidentified man (Oregonian).

Women have come a long way in the fight for equality – in the 1970s women fought for things like equal pay and equal opportunities in the workplace, yet this is still an issue today. This is even relevant to sport as sportsmen earn more than sportswomen for doing the same job. For years’ gender inequality has plagued professional sports, with people suggesting women’s sport is of a lower quality and women will never be as good as their male counterparts.

In spring of 1996, the Detroit Red Wings were playing the Colorado Avalanche in the National Hockey League’s Western Conference

1955 version and the 1994 version which is exactly 39 years apart. Both of the films are very good films but I must admit that I like the 1994 version better and it could be because it was done in my timeframe and I can actually relate to it more better than the 1955 version.

Steven Spielberg’s 1975 thriller Jaws was historically pivotal in establishing the elements that constitute the framework of Hollywood high-concept cinema.

murals have played a key role in both Mexican and Chicano social and political movements and in film.
