Kim Fischer: News Anchor or Wounded Duck? On the slopes, I'd say the latter. The link below explains it all....

Baby Kimye: I CAN'T be the only one who doesn't care?!
December 31, 2012... in the wee hours of the morning, the news broke onstage in Jersey and across the world on Twitter... Kim Kardashian and Kanye West would be having a baby.
I didn't learn until a few hours later... but the information caused an immediate twist in my stomach, and a roll of my eyes. You see... the whole Kim/Kanye relationship... actually, the whole Kardashian fame, concerns me. Not for them... but for our society.
Let's take it back to the beginning. In 2007, no one knew who Kim Kardashian was... nor did anyone care. At the time, she was just a celebrity stylist who became friends with another "famous for being famous" girl by the name of Paris Hilton. Then, an "intimate" tape of Kim K. and a mildly famous rapper named Ray J was "leaked." That girl in the video, the one with the larger than life derriere, became a top headline. So, is it a coincidence that Kim and Paris both became household names in the same fashion? I digress...
Not long after... the E! Network decided to give this "sex tape girl" her own reality series, with her family... and the group was launched into stardom. Does anyone else see something VERY WRONG with this picture? Does anyone else see the twisted message this is sending young girls all over the world?
But, I can't blame the Kardashian clan for this... I can only blame our society. We are the ones watching this family's reality show... buying Kim's products in stores. If anything, I COMMEND this family for making a boatload on their 5 minutes of fame. My question to all of you though... is, WHY???

My First Time...
So they say your first time is the most memorable... well here we go!
If you're reading this... you're either a friend, or follower (Twitter of course) and you probably already know I'm a 7 year veteran of the News Media. I report on things like house fires... car accidents (like the one in Plano this morning) and even the occasional Rodeo.
But if you know me (...see second paragraph) then you know I have a real passion for sports. I'm a former athlete... played a little basketball, a little volleyball, a lot of softball, ran some track and cheered my high school and college on as the School's Mascot. (Kempner H.S. and University of North Texas Respectively.)
So needless to say, I've spent most of my life around fields and courts. So here I am now. I figured, "Hmmm, I go to every Mavs Game, I have plenty of thoughts, I may as well put them out in the universe!"
Tonight's game went a little like this. The Mavs have been plagued lately by their losses at home... a big problem for them has been their defense. So I figured, if they stepped that up tonight, we could do really well. That was not exactly the case in the first half. For the first half of the first quarter... the Mavs were having a hard time sinking a basket. At one point, the Mavs were down by 11. Talk about a downer!
But, in True Mavs fashion... the second half was a completely different story. At the top of the third, the score was Mavs 48, Thunder 55. That big lead shrunk quickly in the third. The entire second half, the two teams went back and forth, only giving up a couple points here and there.
Another big shocker for me... Damp's 4th quarter surge! Any Mavs fan knows... the big guy is not the best at the line. Well, he not only made a couple free throw shots, his blocking was on point! Defense was where it needed to be, and they were making the baskets, unlike the first half. Dirk and the boys were back in the game! Speaking of the tall German, he scored a whopping 32 points this game... that's 2 more than Durant's 30.
In the first half... the biggest cheer from the crowd came from some free J.J. Barea t-shirts. The second half... it was hard to find someone sitting down. I can say this much about the Mavericks, they know how to get the crowd hyped in the second half.... Final score Mavs 99, Thunder 98.
Oh... girlie thought of the night... the Mavs Dancers had some cute outfits on tonight!
