This week, some of the world's trends include the Daytona 500, the close of the Winter Olympics, and Justin Timberlake, especially after his performance with Jimmy Fallon on his show this past Friday.
First, let's start with the Daytona 500. It happened today at the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. The biggest story coming out of the 500 today would probably be that the race was halted due the the inclement weather sweeping the state, which was also definitely noticeable in Gainesville all day today. There are currently a couple of floods outside of my bedroom window.
The Olympics also ended today, with Russia winning the final medal count with 33 medals. The United States came in second place in the medal count with 28 medals. The other funny thing about today's Closing Ceremonies was that Russia was actually able to make fun of its technical difficulties during the Opening Ceremonies, forming this structure in today's event.
Another big story today is Jason Collins signing his contract with the Brooklyn Nets, making him the first openly gay player in the NBA. Before signing this contract, there hasn't been a single game in NBA history played with an openly gay player on the floor.
Finally, Justin Timberlake is making headlines after making an appearance on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show this past Friday night. Timberlake stopped by his friend's set to take a break from his 20/20 Experience Tour. The two performed a new installment in their "History of Rap" series, which is absolutely hilarious and definitely took me on a ride down Memory Lane (I grew up listening to a lot of these songs as a kid).
You can watch the "History of Rap Parts 1-4" here.
Also, I really just love Jimmy Fallon, especially when he's hanging out with Justin #BringJT2UF
