The young YouTube Sensation we know as Alex is still cranking out the videos from her Mexican home. She has a great voice and sings a lot of great songs. You can check out many of the songs she has uploaded to this point at You Tube and see just how great of a sensation she is.

Alex Talks Swine Flu in Mexico
Her message is in Spanish. Here is a rough translation of what she had to say:
Hi guys , how are you , I hope you`re very well.
Well , this recording will be about a subject which appeares to be of high-fashion these days.
It`s about a virus , called Influenza , which is spreading across USA , Canada and Mexico , a new virus , a new disease of high contagiousness , a type of flu but more acute. This type of flu comes from pigs , and it`s spreading , and there are a lot of cases.
Starting Friday evening , they (authorities) started doing rounds , they`ve been in people`s homes , (they did something with plasthics) , they told us we have to stay indoors under any circumstances , and for any emergency we can call a certain number , they told us we cannot have appliances on for more than 4 hours , food will be delivered to us.
They are instructing us and taking a lot of precautions.
Classes are suspended , from small children to universities , also people are not going to work.
Classes will (restart) on may 6th.
People have asked me what i think about this.
Well , firstly , I think the information we`re getting is filtered , (because there are more precautions taken now than with the aviary flu) , and they are hiding the seriousness of swine flu from us. People walking on the street have their mouths covered , everything is closed , cinemas , parks , we cannot go out of the house , everything , everything is closed.
Secondly , i think, this is a time of becoming aware , even if a little , because we are responsible too , humanity caused all these new viruses to appear , and unfortunatelly now , for these new viruses there are no vaccines , and i don`t know what they will do , they told us all the precautions we need to take , but i don`t know what they will do about the people who are already sick.
So , we have to think about this , even if a little , because we are responsible too , through our messed up diets , throwing garbage everywhere and so on , we are responsible about all this too.
Let`s hope the authorities can handle this flu situation well , let`t hope things don`t become of major seriousness , take care of yourselves guys , take precautions , and we`ll see eachother again at the next recording (video).
Last Kiss by Pearl Jam
I always liked this song. It is actually based on a true story. It was a car accident in Georgia and someone living in the town where the accident happened wrote this little tune. It has held up over the years and Pearl Jam covered the song several years back that shinned new light on this great song.
Have you ever heard this song before? Did you know that it was based around a true story? Please be sure to add any more information about this song, if you do know about the true details. I know the car accident was in Georgia and I believe it was in the southern part of Georgia near Barnesville.
The NFL or National Football League is about to conduct their draft soon. Many of the top players from the college football season of 2008 will be among the highest possible canididates to get chosen. I love watching the NFL draft every year and Chris Berman does a great job from ESPN. There will be a new start time to the draft this year. Normally the first round gets started at noon on Saturday and this year’s 2009 NFL draft will start at 4 PM Eastern Time. It will begin on April 25th and many NFL fans may be tuning in at noon to watch the draft and see it’s not on. It will start at 4PM this year or 1PM for those living on the West Coast.
Here is a mock draft to this year’s 2009 NFL Draft:
1. Matthew Stafford – Detroit Lions
2. Jason Smith – Los Angeles Rams
3. Aaron Curry – Kansas City Chiefs
4. Michael Crabtree – Seattle Seahawks
5. Eugene Monroe – Cleveland Browns
6. Michael Oher – Cincinnati Bengals
7. B.J. Raji – Oakland Raiders
8. Aaron Maybin – Jacksonville Jaguars
9. Tyson Jackson – Green Bay Packers
10. Brian Orakpo – San Francisco 49ers
11. Malcolm Jenkins – Buffalo Bills
12. Chris Wells – Denver Broncos
13. Andre Smith – Washington Redskins
14. James Laurinaitis – New Orleans Saints
15. Knowshon Moreno – Houston Texans
16. Josh Freeman – San Diego Chargers
17. Mark Sanchez – New York Jets
18. Eben Britton – Denver Broncos
19. Rey Maualuga – Tampa Bay Buccaneers
20. Brian Cushing – Detroit Lions
21. Vontae Davis – Philadelphia Eagles
22. Jeremy Maclin - Minnesota Vikings
23. Robert Ayers – New England Patriots
24. Darius Heyward - Atlanta Falcons
25. Clay Matthews – Miami Dolphins
26. Peria Jerry – Baltimore Ravens
27. Darius Butler – Indianapolis Colts
28. Brandon Pettigrew – Philadelphia Eagles
29. Hakeem Nicks – New York Giants
30. Kenny Britt – Tennessee Titans
31. Eric Wood – Arizona Cardinals
32. Everette Brown – Pittsburgh Steelers
We should see the first round this year go about like that. I think there are several surprises in this year’s draft class. I think Mark Sanchez from USC will drop like a rock in the draft and I really don’t think he’s worth a first round pick for any NFL team. It should be interesting to see how it all unfolds on April 25th. Does this mock draft have a player going to your favorite team that you would like for them to draft? If so, there is a good chance you may just land that nugget in this year’s draft class. Maybe you didn’t like the player chosen in this NFL mock draft, but it’s not official until the 25th gets here, so still time for things to change.
Alex keeps the videos coming at Youtube and here is a look at the Sensation’s latest production. She starts off talking in Spanish, but does sing the song in English.
YouTube Sensation Sings Incubus
Continue to follow all of Alex’s best videos here and I will keep you posted on the Teen’s rising as she becomes an Internet Star. Alex has uploaded dozens of videos at Youtube and most of them are of her great singing abilities.
I also forgot to wish Alex a Happy Birthday on March 28th and it was Alex’s 17th birthday! They say it’s better to be late than never, so hopefully Alex forgives me on this one! It’s been 2 years since I started posting her videos and she continues to impress with each new one she releases. I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before we see Alex singing or acting on the television one day. Happy Birthday Alex!
The Atlanta Hawks will be making another trip to the playoffs. They have clinched the 4th spot in the Eastern Conference and it appears they are likely to play the Miami Heat in the first round.
The 4th spot does mean the Hawks will have home court advantage in the playoffs. This has been the goal of the team this year and making it past the 2nd round is unlikely with Mike Woodson’s coaching ability. He seems set on playing Joe Johnson 40 plus minutes a game and this is not right for the team right now.
Congratulations to the Atlanta Hawks organization, their players and coaches, and for all the loyal fans that continue to support basketball in Atlanta.
Newest Video from Alex!
Great video Alex!
The Youtube Sensation from Mexico that we know as Alex has recently added this new video over at YouTube. It’s her singing Listen To Your Heart and I can remember Roxette being the first person I heard singing this song. I believe others have sung it too, but most people will know Roxette’s version of this song.
Roxette – Listen To Your Heart
So how does the You Tube Sensation do against a great singer like Roxette? I think both do the song great and Alex does a lot of other songs very well. Just check out some of her other videos you can find here at my blog under the category Alex YouTube. I also thought it would be fun to see some other YouTubers singing this song and here are some other random videos I found from amateurs singing Listen To Your Heart.
Video 1 – Listen To Your Heart
Video 2 – Listen To Your Heart
Video 3 – Listen To Your Heart
Video 4 – Listen To Your Heart
Which YouTuber did you like best? Do any of them do this song as well as Alex does? You don’t have to wait for American Idol to come on and you can see a lot of great amateurs singing away at YouTube in front of their webcams.
The Teen Sensation from Mexico just keeps rolling along and Alex is a star in the making! Be sure to check back later for more of these great videos that Alex uploads over at YouTube.
The game was played between the hedges under a light drizzle for most of the day. It was the battle for pride and bragging rights in the state of Georgia. The Georgia Bulldogs hosted the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and it may have just been the best game in the historic match up. These two teams have been going at each other since 1893 and it’s always a good game with the Bulldogs of Athens get together with the Wramblin Wreck from the ATL.
It started off as a route for the home team and the Bulldgos got off to a fast start in front of their home fans which was easily over 90,000+ cheering fans. The 28 to 12 halftime score favored the Bulldogs and it seem Tech would fall short for a 8th straight year. The triple option started to show why it’s been so effective this year and the Yellow Jackets used it exclusively to get back in the game. It was a run away 2nd half for the guys in white and gold and the Bulldogs defense had no answer for the unique offense in the 2nd half. Georgia Tech couldn’t be stopped and when the dust settled between the hedges, the Yellow Jackets had put 45 points on the scoreboard and the Georgia Bulldogs only managed 42 points in their final efforts.
This may have just been the best game ever between Georgia and Georgia Tech. I’m sure the state of Georgia will be buzzing about this one for a long time. So it’s the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets that will have bragging rights for the next 365 days and I can’t wait for these two teams to play each other once again. Mark Richt suffered his first loss to the Yellow Jackets since he has been head coach of the Georgia Bulldogs. On the other side of the field, Paul Johnson now has the streak and he has never lost to the Georgia Bulldogs in his first year as head coach of the Jackets. So be sure to mark this one down on the schedule next year and the rivalry in Georgia is alive and doing well!
Alex pulls out her native tongue and speaks in spanish to all her You Tube fans. The You Tube Sensation has been entertaining english speaking audiences for a long time now and I guess she felt the need to upload some videos in Spanish. I can’t say for sure what she is talking about, but I’m sure its very entertaining in the typcial Alex fashion.

Bravo to Alex! Keep up the great work!
The former USC star and NFL running back star is finally going to find his self behind bars. It might be 13 years too late, but OJ Simpson is finally going to be in police custody. OJ was the culprit in a double homicide that took place more than a decade ago; which he walked away from. The good folks in Nevada didn’t let him walk this time and OJ was found guilty on all 12 charges brought against him. He was the part of a armed robbery and kidnapping and the sentence could be a life term in prision. I think the Goldman family has to be very happy tonight knowing that justice finally got served in a round about way. It might not be the kind of justice they had hoped for, but they finally get to see OJ Simpson going to jail and he will be there for a very long time.
The exact sentence won’t be known until December 5th, but even if they give him a 20 year sentence and he only does 12 years for good behavior; he would be 73 years old when he got out. I think 12 years behind bars would be the least amount of time he would do and he really should be given a lot more than that. OJ Simpson won’t be a free man on our streets no more and I think a lot of Americans are happy about that tonight. OJ was the guilty party 13 years ago and his brutal slaying of two people deserved to be punished then and he got very lucky in a California courtroom. So any punishment he gets now will be well-deserved and there will be no such thing as “too harsh” of a punishment.
Our laws really need to change and the double jeopardy thing makes no sense, if someone really is guilty. OJ Simpson should have never walked our streets again after the horrible acts he did so long ago. He pushed his luck and found his self in a armed robbery in a Las Vegas hotel and there is no excuse for these wild and foolish acts. My prayers continue to be with the families that lost loved ones from the hands of OJ Simpson and I’m glad the jury in Las Vegas delievered action on the man that is no better than Hitler.
I know I have been watching a lot of the Olympics and it’s fun to see all the different countries competing in China. I think the event I like best is the men’s basketball. I really like the USA team or Redeem Team as they are being called this year. Seeing all the guys like Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Dwight Howard, Dwayne Wade and Carmelo Anthony on the same floor is exciting. I’m not sure why the Utah Jazz players are there and it seems like Carlos Boozer and Deron Williams is wasted space. Their play on the court proves that too and Williams and Boozer are clearly out-matched with the talent level on their team. Kick the Jazz players off and replace Carlos Boozer with a real athlete like Josh Smith of the Atlanta Hawks and then you have a nice front line. You could go get a Ray Allen, Tracy McGrady or Allen Iverson to replace Deron Williams who has struggled the most on the Redeem Team in the 2008 Olympics. The USA men’s team has a lot of weapons and I hope they can win the gold this year in China.
I also like the women’s team and its fun to know that no team has ever beaten them. Good job girls and I am rooting for you too and I hope you bring back a gold medal to the United States too. I think swimming has been popular this year and no wonder with Michael Phelps winning all the gold medals. Michael Phelps has won more overall gold medals than any other athlete ever and in 2008 he won more gold medals than any other person has in the same Olympic year. The USA women get to play Brazil on Thursday for the Gold Medal in soccer, but I really doubt they can beat Marta and that Brazilian team she is on. Marta is the best female soccer player in the world and I think Brazil is in the driver’s seat to win the gold medal in soccer. Let’s just hope the USA can pull a upset and keep Marta covered for 90 minutes. I wish we could use our MLB baseball players to play for our Olympic team, but the guys out there now are doing a great job. So those are a few things that come to my mind when I think about the 2008 Olympics that is currently underway in Beijing, China. What are some of your favorite events or athletes in this year’s Olympics?

Which video is the best?
These are some of the best of Alex videos thus far and now you can help pick out which one is the very best. Is there one video that stands above all the other ones? The 16 year-old Alex continues to display great musical talents over at You Tube and she has a nice collection of videos to watch that show some of those talents. Alex’s video career started 18 months ago on Feb. 8th of 2007 and she kicked off things that day with a show she called “The Unbelievable Show“. It lasted for 2 video uploads with a 3rd video announcing the cancellation of her show. Soon after that Alex would start singing in front of the webcam and the rest was history. She began mostly adding videos of her singing ability and soon a huge following would start to keep up with YouTube videos she was uploading. As her fan base grew, so did her popularity and now she is one of the more visible stars at You Tube that has made her into the YouTube Sensation she is today.
It has been a joy to watch all of Alex’s videos that she has uploaded over the months. We can now take a break and look back on all of the videos and see just how much talent this teenager possesses. You can also see the improvements and strides she has made with each video and see that she is getting better with each new video that follows the last one. She really does work well in front of the camera and you can see she is fearless when it comes to singing. Anyone in the world can be seeing these great videos via YouTube and it just makes you wonder when the right person will see them and get her on the path to becoming a world-wide sensation instead of the YouTube fame she has only got to this point. It isn’t just the singing that Alex likes and playing and composing music are also big interests of hers too. She is taking all the steps needed to be the complete package on stage and her versatility will work well in the years to come when she has the chance to focus more closely on just one facet of the music industry.
Some stars just never burn out and they only get brighter. That is true in the case with Alex and your still getting to witness a star in the making as she continues down this musical path. There is 5 very good videos above and these are some of the best ones she has done to this point. We really haven’t seen the best video or singing performance yet and it’s only a matter of time until the above videos are replaced with 5 more that are better than those! Stay tuned and see what the world has in store for this Mexican teen or see what the YouTube Sensation has in store for the world!
A perfect game in bowling is something I have never did. I really haven’t even come close to the magical 300 mark that all bowlers strive to get one day. A strike is not uncommon for beginners or professional bowlers, but when you can do that 12 times in a row it is very special. I just hope that if I ever do manage to string 12 strikes together, that I can have someone there to witness it. I would say the chances of bowling 300 are a lot like a golfer hitting a hole in one. It can be done, but the chances are very remote that you will ever do it. You also want someone there to see a hole in one if you ever manage that feat too. Now I am a better pool player, so making the 8 ball or 9 ball off the break is something I have done many times. I have also manage to run the table in both games and it’s a special feeling in pool when you can break the balls and run out from the break. I don’t think my roll in bowling is consistent enough to get a 300, but it would be nice to go into the 10th frame just knowing I had a shot at it. You would still have to bowl a turkey (3 strikes in a row) in the 10th frame to cap off the perfect 300 game in bowling. I guess a opportunity like this would be one that I might pass on, because the pressure would be tremendous if I ever did bowl 9 strikes in a row. I’m not sure what my high score is, but it seems like I managed a 250 something one time and if I wasn’t bowling a strike, then I was picking up the spare and you must close all your frames to have a super high score like 250.
