I Can Only Imagine
Movie reviews aren’t my thing. Despite the fact I don’t get out enough to compare the latest Marvel to newest Rom-Com, I couldn’t help but feel a need to share my thoughts on this one.

US MEN'S SOCCER TEAM FAILS TO QUALIFY FOR WORLD CUP
Anger. Frustration. Sadness. These are just a mix of the many different emotions U.S. Men’s Soccer fans were experiencing during the heartbreaking 2-1 loss to the Trinidad and Tobago Soca Warriors Tuesday night.

It’s a mutant E. coli germ that was found Thursday in a Pennsylvania woman with symptoms of a urinary tract infection, according to NBC News.

SHOWS OF NOTE - BABYMETAL
Babymetal originated from Tokyo, Japan in 2010, with the intention to be an all-female idol group, a band with the sole purpose of producing pop music icons and a large following. Common in the Asian music industry, some artists are remembered for their iconic presence more than the quality of their songs, i.e. PSY’s “Gangnam Style”. Babymetal consists of teen metal vocalists, Moa Kikuchi (“Moametal”), Suzuka Nakamoto, (“Su-metal”), and Yui Mizuno (“Yuimetal”). The group is s

CONCERT REVIEW: BEYONCE
Having been present in Century Link Field for a Seattle Seahawks games and now a Beyoncé concert, I honestly can’t tell you which crowd was louder. Every seat with a view of the stage was packed, and every person there was dressed for their Queen B. Tayler and I got into the stadium a little after seven, bought our shirts, and sat down to await the concert. A little after the concert’s set start time of seven thirty, DJ Khaled came out to bring some major hype! He definitely
