Dear Russell Westbrook,

YOU ARE OUR LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS

Dear Russell Westbrook,
The Oklahoman

Dear "The Brody,"

So let's get down to it- the Thunder's season isn't ideal this year. Injury after injury has plagued the team and the obvious news from this summer looms over Oklahoma City like a storm cell (pun intended).

You, however, have kept the faith.

Fans still pour into the 'Peake to witness the heart and soul that you and your teammates lay out on the floor every night. Millions across the globe tune in to make sure they don't miss out on the history you're making, and sports analysts can't get enough of the get-out responses you give to the media.

If my sources are correct (see "Google"), your triple-double count has reached 24. The closest number to you at the moment is James Harden's 14.

Yours is the fifth-most sought after NBA jersey in the nation, but I'd wager that it's by far the highest-selling jersey out of all teams in Oklahoma itself.

The fan base has adopted your me-against-the-world mentality. When somebody wrongs one person in the Thunder community- players, coaches, fans- they wrong the whole dang village. That comes with the small-town feel that which Oklahomans are so familiar and the sometimes overwhelming love that we show you and your teammates.

I think I speak for all of us when I ask you to never grow bored of us.

You are our golden child- our prized possession. You motor the whole city! Without the Thunder organization, Oklahoma City would still be the same five-street cow town that we knew 15 years ago.

We will always be here to root for you.

Please, never grow weary of Oklahoma City.

Sincerely,

The Fam

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

Fandango

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
