This ESPN The Magazine cover portrays Michael Jordan jumping against an all-white background in his Chicago Bulls uniform. Two weeks after winning his sixth title with the Bulls, the corresponding article speculates whether or not Jordan will retire from basketball. Jordan retired on January 13, 1999, but two years later signed a deal to play for the Washington Wizards. On April 16, 2003, Jordan played his last game and announced his final retirement.

I must say I love this picture and this cover because Jordan in his bulls jersey with the red and white goes good with the red ESPN logo and the all white background really makes it pop. And I also remember watching Jordan's last game with the Wizards in 2003. Even though thats not what the picture is indicating.

This is one of my favorite photos because the man in the picture is most likely living his dream of being a great photographer and there is no other way to do that other than taking a picture in space. This picture also shows that you can go many places with your passion, even though it might not make the most money.



This picture is of a "bullet" that was taken with a high speed digital camera that can freeze objects going 7500 mph. Personally I would love to have this kind of camera because I would love to play around with it and capture pictures of stuff blowing up or take video of it, such as fireworks going off, a  glass cup breaking, speakers moving to the bass. etc

Best Song of 2013

I chose this song "Jealous" by Fredo Santana ft. Kendrick Lamar because as soon as it came out I heard many people at school the next day listening to it and singing it. This song attracted me because Fredo Santana and Kendrick Lamar are most definitely on my Top 5 favorite rappers, and the beat to the song is good, and the lyrics to it are perfect. 

Best Show of 2013 

This is without a doubt the greatest show to ever exist in all of mankind. I started watching this show because for some reason i have always liked drug movies, such as Scarface, Blow, Good Fellas. So when i heard it was a show about a chemistry teacher diagnosed with cancer and all he wants to do is provide for his family because he was worried they would be in great debt, from all the treatments he will have to go through, so he started cooking meth. And in the end he basically controls all of the meth game. It is the best of 2013 because they have such great actors to set the "mood". And it would always keep you in suspense
