In Naples Florida, there has been a constant brush fire that has been burning for past couple of months. So far the fire has burned through thousands of acres of forest because of the drought Naples was experiencing. Dozens of homes have been destroyed and the fire crew are doing everything they can do to contain the fire. As a resident of Naples who has lived in the city for the past seven years, brush fires were a common thing that happened usually in the summers when it got really hot and humid and there would be no rainfall for weeks on end. So even though wild fires are a common occurrence in the region, these brush fires have been happening too often and spreading rather very quickly and destroying thousands of acres of forest and peoples homes and properties. The fire crew as of so far has contained about 68 percent of the brush fire but with the unfortunately high number of 7,ooo acres of forest still burning.

Netflix released a new show on April 21 starring the famous Bill Nye. In his new show, Bill Nye talks about different topics in science and tries to educate the audience in a funny way. The show is almost like a reboot of his 90’s children’s show “Bill Nye The Science Guy” but with a more mature target audience. The first season of “Bill Nye Saves the World” consists of 13 episodes each being 30 minutes long and each episode usually has a panel discussion with guests who are experts in the topic and one guest star who will give their opinion on the topic. Bill Nye has been the face of science to many children in the 1990’s and early 2000’s. He was shown in countless school classrooms and many kids watched it on the Disney Channel when they were home watching TV. Any kid who grew up watching TV during this time will almost definitely be able to remember the old theme song and start repeating the words and singing “Bill Bill Bill Bill Bill Bill”.

By the end of the week of the creation of this post, there is chance that the U.S. government will close its doors due to insufficient funds. The battle for the wall that president Donald Trump wants to build on the U.S./Mexican border and his issues over the current healthcare system that is in place have been the biggest issues threatening the government shutdown.

This will not be the only time that the U.S. has had a government shutdown. The latest government shutdown that took place was in 2013 during the period of October 1st to the 16th. The shutdown was due to not getting the government spending in on time and not coming up with a resolution for the problem. About 800,000 federal employee’s were laid off without pay. If the government shuts down, multiple government funded services will close at midnight on Friday if the government does not pull together the proper funding needed to stay fully open.

Kendrick Lamar has released his long awaited album “DAMN.” and people all over the world are yelling “Kung-Fu Kenny”, including myself. It has been almost a year since Lamar has released his album “Untitled Unmastered” and almost two years since he released his critically acclaimed album “To Pimp a Butterfly”. The 14 track album is a perfectly constructed masterpiece that touches on topics that hit very close to home. In this album, he goes on to rap about the personality in which he posses and how he wants to change the world for the better but before he can do so, he has to change himself. The lyrics that he uses in this album are god like and he preaches about issues that really need to be put on the spotlight especially when it comes to internal struggles. I have listened to the album in its entirety numerous times and I believe it to be one of the greatest albums of all time. Although I might agree that I have some bias towards Kendrick Lamar since he is one of my favorite artists of all time, anyone who has listened to Kendrick will tell you themselves on how amazing he truly is at what he does.

Famous rapper known as Kodak Black was arrested again today, February 28, 2017, for violating his probation. Kodak Black was attending his court date following his arrest that took place in April of last year. The year previous, Kodak was arrested for possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, possession of cannabis, and fleeing from officers. His arrest took place just a few weeks after releasing his long awaited single “Tunnel Vision”. Kodak Black is a young rapper from Pompano Beach, FL, who struck stardom at the young age of 16 when he released his single hit “No Flockin”. This song became a famous icon for the rapper because of the amount of popularity it gained throughout the world with its catchy beat and great lyrics.

Personally, I enjoy listening to Kodak Black’s music even though others might not. He is one of my favorite artists to listen to at the moment so I was upset to see that he was arrested again. However, when it comes to the situation that he is in and when it comes to the question of releasing him or not, I believe that no matter how famous or how good of an artist you are, nobody should just be given a slap on the wrist and sent home for sexually assaulting a helpless woman. If the rape allegations are true, then Kodak deserves to be put in prison for his crimes.
