Media of the Day #2

MUSIC OF THE DAY
"The Light" by Common. Here's a little hip-hop for you n me. Even though it's a pretty old song, today marked my first time listening to it. It's quite the laid-back kind of song. Fo sho. Izz dope yo.


PHOTO ESSAY OF THE DAY
Marlboro Marine. A three part photo essay with narration told by the U.S. marine himself. Photojournalist Luis Sinco was assigned to Iraq, and one the photos he took was of U.S. marine Blake Miller. Sinco's photo has since been called to be one of the most iconic images of the war in Iraq. This photo essay is of how Miller struggled through depression after returning to the U.S. as an Iraq war veteran.

WEBSITE OF THE DAY

www.FreeRice.com. I found out about this site through my cousin Dani. You can expand your vocabulary while helping feed the hungry. Tah

VIDEO OF THE DAY

On Dec. 6, the MGM Grand in Las Vegas hosted "the dream match" of boxing with champions Manny Pacquiao and Oscar De La Hoya. Pacquiao won by a mile. It was nearly 60 dollars to see the match live on HBO, so we didn't watch it that night. A week later, HBO aired it (for free). I didn't see it, but my uncle recorded it, so my family as yet to borrow the dvd from him and watch the whole thing. Yeeee!! Here's a video, wonderfully edited by Youtube user Othe12sid3, that displays several highlights from the match.


Video is entitled "Golden No More"
