8 Reasons to Watch the Dodgers this Season
Orange County Register

1. Clayton Kershaw

Arguably the best pitcher in the entire MLB, ‘nuff said.

2. Cody Bellinger

Bellinger is the hottest new thing to enter the MLB scene in 2017. Since the season started he has had 24 RBIs and 9 homeruns in only 25 games. Not to mention the fact that he plays not one, not two, BUT four positions out in the field.

3. Chase Utley

Utley is a 38-year-old miracle. One of the oldest players in the MLB but he’s still one to watch. He’s also one of the fastest players I’ve watched (considering his age).

4. Justin Turner

Otherwise known as “The Magic Ginger” (according to my dad). JT plays 3 positions in the field and also has quite the hitting record. He has brought in 18 runs this current season.

5. Joc Pederson

Okay for one, Joc has one of the cutest dogs out there, Blue, look her up. Besides that, like many of his teammates, Pederson is a hitting machine. He can also catch those pop flys in all 3 outfield positions.

6. Kike Hernandez

Okay, again we have an owner of an amazing dog (Arizona the Dodger Doodle). For more reasons than one, Kike is one to watch. Especially when he wears his infamous banana suit.

7. Corey Seager

Yet another young player for my boys in blue. Seager is starting out the 2017 season with 23 RBIs and 7 homeruns. Puts him right up there with Bellinger.

8. Kenley Jansen

Another great pitcher for LA. One that is so awesome, we have a couch named after him. Yes, a couch.

If you won't watch the boys in blue, at least sit down and watch a game. I mean baseball is America's past time after all. But always remember: LA All Day.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
