HAHAHAHAHAHA and then some

yeah yeah yeah its Tuesday and I'm just posting, hey I've been busy and I'm still stuck at 8 subscribers so mane if you reading this tell somebody RATNAH! Ok this week I will talk about FACEBOOK, Recession gas, and some sports stuff.

Ok quickly lemme say if you are new to this blog or a current reader when you seen what appears to be mispelt <---- words please realize that I am a very bright guy with a unique sense of humor and I simply type things the way most people (particularly southerners) say them phonetically. So if you get stumped just take a deep bref and think about how you pronounce and enunciate words ok....now on to other stuff.

Facebook is slowly but surely making millions of dollars at the expense of becoming my -_________- (or myspace), now I must say I am a bit disturbed because many people left my -________- because of too much advertising and other ridiculous games and gimmicks to post on peoples page.  Now I am not against entrepreneurs utilizing it to get information out I think it is a useful tool however, all the spam that is being inundated on peoples pages, post of music videos or pics of Jordan's and other knock offs is getting a bit overwhelming...Now I understand hey making money but at the expense of being outta style in 3 more years well...all I can do is smh.  Twitter my newest gem will eventually fall victim as well so I truly believe we will all go back (those of us in our late tweenies early thirties and up) to msn, google, yahoo and other messaging services that were so popular in the late ninenees and two thousands.  I remember when you would catch up with people and or meet new folks in msn chat rooms....the ebony room hahahaha stuff like that....

In other news gas is starting to get like the prices of produce per pound....and I can't figure out for the life of me how petrol stations can charge one price for cash and another for credit/debit?  Either this is pure greed or we are simply missing that there is a fluctuation of .10 and therefore letting me know petrol shouldn't be as high as it is.  I hate riding down the road and seeing the big sign that displays gas a "the cheapest price in town" or so I think then I get to the pump and swipe and the price jumps up ten cents.....FALSE ADVERTISING I'm suing  (lol j/k...but maybe)....hell with buying a Powerball I need that dolluh to get a 1/3 extra to the tank ya nahmeen son (new york voice).

And so the NBA final four is set.....Memphis didn't make it thru but I can tell you their bandwagon got full (I must admit I was pulling for them and the city).  OKC and Dallas and Dewayne James vs DRose an nem...I happen to to like the new power shift gives the Association a new feel and fills up seats on other bandwagons.  As y'all know I don't have a NBA team I just like watching good exciting basketball...I digress.  So Russell Westbrook seems to have figured out that his star can shine very bright if he plays Rondo-esque with a better j.....well I hope he figures that out b/c he sees what happens if he tries to still the Light.....#backlash.  DRose an nem put on a show against Dewayne James and friends, out played out hustled and out posterized.  Dewayne James went back to one on one and err time they do that they show that they will not beat anybody unless they shoot the lights out which bof are streaky shooters.  The supporting cast better show up or this series will be shawt.  If they go down 2-0 or 3-0 mock my words and I have said this all year that Pat Riley will intervene and take over a la Van Gundy in 06 (I think he secretly cant wait specially now that Phil is gone).  Welp that for sports news and simply the fact that my fanguz are tired from typing....

Until...

The Lakers, Mothers Day, and other stuff....

Hahahahaha I know I'm catching the 3 readers I have off guard but hey until I have 100 subscribers that expect to read this on a specific day I can be a bit spontaneous.  Ok so last week we saw some interesting things with the NBA Playoffs.  It was also Mother's Day weekend....

Let us begin SHALL WE...I wanted to start with D Rose and his over publicized League MVP speech (maybe over publicized is the wrong term), well what I'm saying is that I applaud the media outlets for showing this well deserved honor and the eloquence in which this young 22 year old displayed in accepting the award.  In the most humbling and emotional manner he showed his gratitude for the privilege of being able to make a living playing a SPORT and he put it in perspective when thanking his mother.  Looking back on all her hard work and sacrifices pushes him through the days when he doesn't feel like "playing" (for those that have not played sports it is very very very very demanding and it consumes your life and some times like anything else you just don wanna).  My respect level for this young fella is at the peak because he always seems genuinely humble and thankful for his gift.  In other Playoff news the Los Kobes (I mean the L.A. Lakers) got their ass cut by the finally over the hump Mavericks and I can say I was pleased with the results and especially found humor in the going away present they gave Phil and Kobe.  Don't get it mixed up I'm not a Laker hater but Kobe although arguably the best or one of the best players to ever play is not high on my totem pole that the aforementioned D Rose is.  The overt arrogance and quest for greatness at any cost has a bit disturbing, maybe he is just "misunderstood" (obvious sarcasm and cliche') but the man (although a vet so I completely understand) didn't practice with the team all year yet he is the first the throw people under the bus if they don't play up to HIS standard (listen to his interviews prior to Bynums trustgate comments).  Nah speaking of HIS standard I truly think (I understand the sub-language that basketball players speak in interviews) that Bynum let the cat out the bag with his comments...TRUST ISSUES, hell with the team I think he was directly saying that Kobe was in PMS mode and was throwing folk under the bus in house.  Bynum is a bit of a goofball anyway but I understood it....(he, blake, odom, and/or barnes will all be gone next year and I could see D Howard coming there a la Shaq).  Quickly:  Rondo separates is elbow and comes back out there to play (now being a separated shoulder survivor lol) was quite a display of "manning up".  I have done that (read the previous parenthesis) and the next day soreness, pain, stiffness cant imagine in the elbow.  Now I have given props I will say when KG, Ray Ray, and Paul retire he will either need to go to another team or the C's will go back to the doldrums. 

Nah...on to the other subject briefly.  I want to send a Happy (tho belated) Mother's Day to all the Mothers out there and single fathers who get the job done. 

Y'all be good and if you have read this far down and actually like reading please refer a friend and or comment.


Until...

What a week....

This mid week thang might start happening more often so anyways lets talk about whats going on this week...The NBA playoffs have a vintage feel with all the hard fouls and stuff...The draft came and went...and Our Commander and Chief announced some shocking but celebratory news. Amazon bails....and I'm on this Dave Ramsey kick.

Lets begin ....shall we?  So we will skip directly to the NFL draft and how awkward it was but still the NFL draft, Cam "Payday" Newton went numero uno to the Panthers and my thoughts well...at least for 6 games the stadium should be energized.  I think the kid has charisma and will be an attraction early then after some L's the luster will corrode.  His dad was there and lets just say.....something is still fishy.  Moving on along Mark Ingram who was glowing and shinning when it first started, started to look a bit pissed off his name wasn't being called....then he got his call (which I will say I'm happy for the young man) and The "Mother ship" as Dan Patrick calls it decides that they will blindside him with a email from his pops.  Nah did anyone else wonder why the email didn't make it to his blackberry, iphon4, or droid?  Ok moving on so he broke down (rightfully so) and the Ship got their moment.  A whole bunch of other picks came and went and the recurring theme I was hearing was about kids with "CHARACTER ISSUES" nah I'm a bit thrown that this particular draft had soooooo many perceived knuckle heads.  End of the day it seems no matter what talent will override the potential trouble awaiting.   I will say this I hope the future classes, high school kids,etc learn that everything you do, say, tweet, facebook whatever could cost you A LOT OF MONEY so keep that in mind.  Moving along....Our President made a startling yet historical announcement that Bin Laden had been found and killed, now as much as I understand the importance of this my somewhat jaded view on politics is how does this affect our deficit going forward and economy also does this mean our troops still have to be fighting everywhere?  I know the risk are still very high and thinks aren't automatically resolved but that was just my first impression once hearing the news.  I'm still amazed tho that we celebrated and rallied together yet we still can't seem to solve the violent problems we have here at home. Now yall know I don't stay on politics too long I just wanted to touch on that point.  As most South Carolinians know AMAZON was trying to come to SC and build a plant and operate for free...I understand both problems of hell the deal was a bit off in the first place (wonder if that was on purpose....will explain later maybe) and second I'm sad that one of the highest unemployed states wont get the 3k jobs that it could have brought over the next 3years.  I am so inspired to try to make things happen and help people in my state but lack the capital and complete resources to do something but I will....one day.  I believe....Hebrew 11:1.

Nah that segways into the Dave Ramsey kick I'm on....Dave's Total Money Makeover book has be vexed and motivated.  I wish I would have had this book in my hand when it was published 2003 I believe.  I would be doing very very very well and be alot wiser.  However the trials and lessons I have learned have helped give this book more substance on my new quest.   I will "live like no one else, so I can live like no one else" those of you who know that or understand it feel me.  I recommend it to everyone especially these young athletes out here in the world.  I digress....so I have some important milestones coming up in the near future that will get my full makeover process started....as well as the thought of going back to school to get my green jacket hahahaha.   Well I will keep it short on that note and will tell everyone to keep saying your prayers and continue to help those in need......blessings are powerful things.


Until....

Mane How Bout that....

Ok lets get past the formalities yes I"M LATE AGAIN....but obviously no one is paying attention so I can afford to do so.  Nah this past week and well this week in general, let's see where do I begin.  I started this new Dave Ramsey kick and I'm focused on being supremely wealthy and I have the foundation to get it done.   Nah lets dive into this a lil bit because I have obviously recognized my flaws and faults as being a brown person in this society and why we/us can't seem to learn the rules to financial freedoms and why we succumb to the endless perils of being yes BROWN.  Our main issues are the overcoming of our past (historically speaking we have never really HAD) what I mean by this is most of us aren't use to having so when we get a lil bit we SPLURGE (for my beige readers we over spend and buy frivolously).  Nah the problem with "SPLURGING" is half the time it is at the expense of something usually a bill or two.  We would rather have the new iphone 4G than get caught up the that very bill and stick with the Moto Razr <-- obvious joke.  My point is that we have yet to truly learn how to live and sacrafice now and live once we are fully able to.  We "live in the moment"  carpe diem (I took Latin 2 years in hs) which is a slogan most of us only know about thru movies or when some celebrity says it.  I digress....we are for the most part a culture fueled by "STUFF" as a sign of prosperity, we look the part very well to show that yes we do have the ability to buy things however, that only generally impresses our peers who for the most part are doing the same exact thing.  Nah I have had the revelation while visiting some family in Ft. Mill, SC where there are some very nice developments and housing and what I noticed (my fam aren't the Joneses and aren't trying to keep up with them how every they are staying up with the Johansons lol) was that the large nice neighborhoods (big ole houses) had a Honda Pilot, Chevy Silverado, and a 03' Camry in the driveway or a '00 FourRunner and a '04 Tahoe, occasionally I would see a Lexus ES or something like that (status bang for buck kinda cars) now I drive further down (hypothetically) and I see typical 'hoods' and I see the Escalade, 300 (Bentley kit), Suburban on '28s, etc yard is beat down, the goal in the front yard is on its last 5 fga's and in the back is a cage for the pits.  Now yes I'm largely stereotyping and/or over exaggerating a bit however I'm making my point so listen... We do things like that (I'm guilty been there done that) and now I'm slowly learning that sacrificing all that to be able to live in a lil while will be nice (boys school paid for, and trust funds building).  Ok exiting soapbox and moving on...

Nah I mentioned visiting family in Ft. Mill which actually was a birthday Carowinds day for my lil cousin and son so we at the park for what seemed like an eternity....Carowinds makes me think if Wal Mart opened an amusement park it would be Carowinds long lines.  I thought about talking to my frat brother who is a comedian about this,  have you ever seen a Thug at an amusement park....this is probably one of the most "amusing" (pun intended) phenomenons I have ever seen, they are at the park trying to look hard but at the same time trying to have fun (be a kid again).  Wife beaters, big shorts, ball cap, fresh sneakers, and tatted up toting a bear or a big tube that the lemonade comes in hahahahaha Iownknow about you but I found that to be hilarious (i will discuss further later).  On the other side of the spectrum watching the "Necks" are just as funny because its like they treat Carowinds like they are at Vegas............................................(needed a minute to stop laughing so hard internally).  If you haven't notice I like observing people and dynamics that overall make life beautiful yet instantaneously funny.  I keep telling myself to do a broadcast via YouTube so when I see things I can make these words come to life....YALL GOTTA STAY ON ME ABOUT THAT.

In other news I recently discovered that our Govenors' husband is referred to as the First Gentleman, I snickered (yes I said snickered) because I was always curious to what that name would be and as I watched the morning news I received clarification.  Well as we all know I can be long winded so I will exit stage left now and make sure to say that SEND YOUR PRAYERS TO EVERYONE AROUND THE WORLD, especially the recent storms that have ripped thru the southeast, the earthquakes folks in Japan and Haiti and all those who have lost someone they loved recently.  We have to right the ship and support our brothers and sisters and wake up everyday and be thankful and spread joy and happiness to thy neighbor. 


Until....

testing testing 1,2,3

Ok so back to what I was tombout. I have been using droid voice recognition all day so for give the short post before. So the NBA playoffs have begun and yes I will say if you are a sports fan preferrably nba then your spouse/significant other should understand no request are permitted for the next four weeks. In other news it looks like a new legislation will be passed saying that voters must present ID to vote, hmmmm how can I address this without coming off politically wrong....that method was banned in the early part of the century.

Moving along I partook in a grown up weekend (those with kids will lol when I finish), I took my sons to their cousin bday party then kicked it at my cousins house for the remainder of the evening (spirits, food, and plenty of lol) yeah that's a GROWN UP WEEKEND hahahahaha.

Also make sure you send your prayers out to those families that were rocked by tornadoes this past week. With Mother Nature having her own pms issues you would figure we (humans) would be less inclined to destroy, kill, fight, degrade, and politcally dismantle each other. Im just saying....priorities are a bit off....so I will end with this PEACE, LOVE, & LAUGHTER

yet another week

And so this week has begun not much more entertaining than last week however the nba playoffs has started so that's a good good beginning.

Iownknow....

OK I know I'm super late (usually a Monday thang) but hell who knows who actually takes time to read this any way so oh well.  Last week wasnt much of anything as far as news but this week has been somewhat entertaining at least in the entertainment world.  SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Manny retires, Barry beats the rap, and Kobe gets fines 100k for his "homophobic slur".  Amazon is trying to make a come up in SC, VP sleeps thru presidents speech, and a number of other thangs.  Where do I begin....lets just start with Manny hahahah he bounces retires and goes to Spain after failing another drug test.  Lets just say the man has made over 170M in his career and all they tombout is if he goes to the HOF, mmmmmm (sour face expression) he don't care, WHO"S NEXT!  Barry Bonds has proved once again that Dollars talk and what they excrete walks hahaha NEXT!  KOBE gets caught on t.v. on one of his many MANY tirades the TV catches the closure of his verbal assault. What I am happy about is he didn't use the ole cliche' "I'm human....dadadadaada" he was real about it and yes I think it has been blown completely out of proportion but then again IT WAS ON NATIONAL TV.  Whats is most interesting is that it cost him 100k YIKES, but as the folks on Sports Center calculated that is roughly 30 min of his salary (recession, 100k could help many families in need).  I digress man if players started getting fined for stuff like that they need to fine Bosh for spitting while getting hype in a game (like the Glenn Davis drooling thing). 

In other news Amazon is trying to come to Metropolitainville, USA and got free land, and some breaks but they want the whole pie.  It's interesting when companies do that, isn't more important to break into this market and provide 2,500 jobs for a recession hard hit state?  Maybe I'm just a economic softy. 

Like I said last week didn't have much substance that I could go into a long drawn out soliloquy about.  If you read this blog subscribe and join...I'm geesh it wont hurt. hahahahah
