If there is one thing everyone knows about me, it's that I am an Oklahoma City Thunder Enthusiast through and through. My twitter is basically a Thunder fanpage (subtle plug: follow me @ellier57) and a Steven Adams shrine.

It was a long and hard road, and at times we didn't think it would happen, but the OKC Thunder are officially in the playoffs.

So let's get to the point. I think the Thunder have an actual, legitimate chance of making it to the Western Conference Finals this year. Maybe even the NBA Finals (wishful thinking). Here's why.

Round 1 Matchup

OKC Thunder vs Portland Trailblazers. If there's one thing any devoted Thunder fan can simultaneously gripe and celebrate about is Russell Westbrook's beef with...well, everyone.

And when Russ has beef with someone, he will undoubtedly show up and show out for any chance to outshine them.

i.e., Damian Lillard, Trailblazers Point Guard. This'll be a fun matchup, folks.

Playoff P

AKA Paul George, just in playoff mode.

Team Chemistry

Let me say it again, CHEMISTRY. Look at that support! That sportsmanship!! That love!!! GO OFF!

Russell Westbrook

When he's on, at least. Especially come playoffs season, Russ is unstoppable.

This Bracket

Like Antonio Daniels said, "One Year ago, Denver didn't make the playoffs. OKC, San Antonio, and Portland were all eliminated first round. One year later...one of these 4 teams will be in the [Western Conference Finals]!!"

And lastly, the ticket that has been in my phone case for a few weeks

I'm not a superstitious person until it comes to the NBA. And I'm just saying, we have been 5-0 since that ticket has been in my phone case, so you can bet it'll stay there till the season is over.

However, the Thunder are notorious for losing games they should win and winning games they shouldn't have a chance at. So, just in case I am completely wrong on all of this, they could really pull a Thunder and get eliminated first round. There, I said it.

Anyway, Thunder Up!!!

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.
