Watching the HBO Real sports tonight - two amazing stories that everyone should check out.

I'm not a huge fan of this program, but got caught up right away by the story on ALS - Lou Gehrig's Disease and concussions. A wild look at the connection between the two, this is worth watching for anyone who plays sports.

Followed by this is a story of Bobby Tolan, a young african american man who is shot in his driveway by the police. Amazing, and scary story.

Gonna get a little literary here...

This reminds me of a book I read last summer, named "Zeitoun" by Dave Eggers. If you are a high school student looking to finish a summer reading requirement, i highly recommend it. Eggers is a brilliant young American author, and the story - based on true events - is unforgettable.
