Im really torn over this... On one side... Its the President; leave him alone. On the OTHER side... THIS. IS. FUNNY!!!
I know its wrong...
I know this...
Its wrong mainly because this type of ignorance is EXACTLY the way some ignorant people stereotype black people (read: President Barack Obama). The "people" don't need ANY additional information against or ammunition towards strengthening the foundation of underlying hatred that is causing this president to deal with frivilous foolishness that he may not have dealt with had things been "different". SOOO.... Yeah... Its wrong.
BUT... as a person who can look at this for what it is, a spoof, its funny.
Watch it and enjoy. (But not too much because its still wrong)
Lebron James: Rise
Lebron James, in an effort to win back some of the hearts of fans that he lost, has appeared in a new Nike commercial and all he does is ask questions... Some may consider them thought provoking questions... Me personally, I didn't let this man's decision affect me one way or the other; he's still an EXCELLENT basketball player. This commercial... This commercial was fresh. Nike spent some money on it (possibly a LOT of money) to help Lebron save face. Will he ever get to the "Michael Jordan" popularity level he may have attained had he stayed in Cleveland and won multiple championships there?! Who knows... Watch it and see if your opinion of Mr. James is swayed (or strengthened).
Loved the Charles Barkley reference by the way... but, even though he may eat donuts, Chuck is STILL the man!

The Death of Darwinism...
Today, on my lunch break, I made a phone call to an old friend of mine who I had seen only twice this year... He began talking about these people he knows and how a LOT of people are just getting old without mentally "growing up". He attributed all of this "mental failure" to the fact that "weak people" are reproducing. I know what you're thinking, and you're right; that statement sounds completely wrong, but how he packaged this presentation of words was a little thought provoking.
He basically stated that, before the lust within our world went completely rampant, there was somewhat of a subconscious selection process in which, if you were not either mentally or physically strong and healthy, your "weakness" died with you. But now?! Now, if you have working sexual organs it's almost inevitable that you will have "sexy time" and possibly a lineage as long as the grandest of kings; leading to combinations of "brilliant and lazy", "beautiful and dumb", "motivated and unskilled", "physically strong and weak willed", "high IQ with a low EQ", etc.
So here is the question: Has lust completely overridden the selection process and sexual attraction superseded the need for emotional and mental stability?
I wanted to argue with him and say "No, our world has not gone that far" but the more I thought about many of the single people I know of (not to mention the people I see talking on Twitter) and the stories that people tell me, the more I began to slowly weaken my stance. Lust does run rampant and almost completely unrestrained.
There is a part of me that truly hopes that this mental and moral degradation of our nation that seemed to start after the Baby Boomers is just a phase that can be shaken off in a couple decades with a few marathons of Electric Circus, Sesame Street, and a good Christian Bible.
The other part of me?!
The other part of me is just praying that the first part of me is right...

Get rich!!! or at least live forever trying...
I know I post a lot of ignorance on this website, but here is a video that several of us can benefit from. I've touched on some of the topics before concerning the fight, not only remain afloat, but to also rise high above "financial sea level". Take a look at the video below and L.E.A.R.N.
By the way, never sign up for those credit cards that stores offer you for that initial discount; its a rip off. The interest rates on those things are RIDICULOUS. Its also not good to have a lot of inquiries on your credit.

Smooth...
While we making mention of this good music... Came cross this video of Mikey Rocks from the Cool Kids.
Sir Michael Rocks - S.S. (Ft. Latif) from illRoots.com on Vimeo.
Kinda smooth... like an expensive liquor. It works. Now if only the Cool Kids could drop a real album...
Yeah... So Chuck Inglish, the other member of the Cool Kids, gave the explanation above and also stated that they have gotten out of their deal. Freedom to do what they got in the game to do anyway: make music. He said it more this tho:
At any rate, congratulations on ya freedom. We look forward to the good stuff that is to come.

Introducing... Jay West
And now we have this guy.... Jay West.
If you don't know this guy... Maybe you should.
Or maybe you shouldn't.
No... You should.
He's a rapper. But not just any rapper. He's a "Lyricist" and that makes him better than a rapper, because he uses sentences, metaphors, similes; he has what the old heads call "F.L.O.W.". Quite different from this "I'm not saying anything but I'm riding the heck out of this beat" type of hip hop that the kids have become so accustomed to. He'll be at the A3C hip hop festival performing this weekend (Saturday to be specific), so go check him out.
At any rate, peep the video below. Its sort of a "Promo" for his mixtape Drugs + Candy. And be sure to check him out this Saturday night at the A3C festival.
(Disclamer: I'm not 100% sure if any animals got hurt in the making of this video and I dont think the drugs are real, but the video is almost like one of those Dos Equis "Most Interesting Man on the World" commercials... which makes it seem automatically cool.)

UPDATE: Here's another video showcasing his talent (if it works). Check it out too.

Stiletto Fit
Usually I don't do this... but something about this is sexy. Its a real class. While some more conservative women may say that the thought of this is a bit ridiculous... I say "think about what ya husband/boyfriend thinks about every once in a while". While dancing in high heels IS very "exotic-danceresque", if I can say that, it seems as if the people in the video are enjoying themselves. As a heterosexual single man, I say *Applause*; not only are you exercising, you've found a way to be sexy at the same time. By the way, good health = WIN!!!
