Will the real Greg Oden please stand up

Damn man - I'd sure like to know whose identity you took so you were able to impersonate a teenager. How the hell did you get back into high school. I've seen several movies about that shit, but didn't actually think someone could do it. Especially an old ass looking nigga like you.

That must have been the biggest pink elephant in the room or school. Didn't nobody say shit.

Why is this 30 year old man on the high school basketball team. I know what you up to. You want to be like Lebron James. Hell look like the nigga. Your probably brothers...or could be that niggas father. That's it - you Lebron's father! Now everything makes sense! What...you got jealous with all your son's notoriety. You wanted a taste of that huh. I don't blame you. I would probably do the same. I know what you were thinking: I can ball better than that nigga. I'm the original.

Did the NBA help you secure your new identity. They must have. It's pretty grand scheme. You needed some help and deep pockets. New social. New name. Bribes...that shit adds up. Yeah the NBA helped you dude. I figured that shit out. I'm smarter than you think. I'm watching you Mr. James or Oden or whatever your name is.

What's Up Pac Man

Now I see why they call you pac man. Woka Woka Woka. You never quit - you keep it going. Woka Woka Woka. Your getting close to your last play. Credits are running out.

Woka Woka Woka.

For some reason (don't know why) I think your a comical dude. Subtract the fights, shootings, and overall mayhem...your pretty creative miscreant. That's a good definition to describe you - and I just thought of that too.

Okay let's move. Enough compliments. I learned once if you want to have a hard conversation with someone, start with a compliment. So I'm learning.

Check this shit Adam. Goodell is cracking down on yall niggas for a reason. The NFL is beyond weekly entertainment for Sunday afternoon entertainment for beer guzzling men (and women). It's global. It's worldwide. It has an image that needs to be upheld. The brand is more than football: Merchandising, Fantasy, Betting, Advertising, Charities, and so on Adam.

Check this shit too Adam. Not only is the spectatorship going global, but so is the participation. Starting to notice other races besides black and white playing on Sunday huh. It's growing in popularity with Pacific Islanders, Latinos, and Caribbean youth.

So what does all this mean to you. It means that the NFL can start replacing unruly ass niggas with athletically inclined youth from different cultures who might not be prone to getting into trouble every week.

What's funny is - yall don't even see this shit happening right before your eyes. What...you think Goodell wants a melting pot league. That dude wants options.

Woka Woka Woka

Juice - You Fucked Now

Damn Juice you shoulda left well enough alone. Let's recap. A nigga with a history of beating bitches up stands trial for murder of his WHITE ex wife and her allege punk ass boyfriend. And you got off. You walked. Free man.

I was happy when you were found innocent. We all were -it was a moral victory (for all of us). So what the fuck did you do next? You go right back to the same shit. Fucking with them white women. Parading them bitches around. Trust me Juice, if it wasn't for the support of the black community (and JC) your ass would be in prison already. We were vocal back then. Rallied for you and the injustice. That glove didn't fit.

Maybe you represented some sort of balance against the beatings, water hoses, hangings, slavery, discrimination, rapes of our women, and countless other atrocities committed against black folks. Yeah that's it.

You turned your back on us Juice. What the hell man.

Not one BET Award show. Image Awards - no show. Bullshit charity...nope. Juice you could have been the biggest icon ever within the black community. Not that were advocate murder (you were found innocent), but you represent hope and change. Look at R Kelly. That nigga showed his appreciation. Benefits. Essence Fest. Made a Katrina song. Even Mike Jackson started showing his face at Black events. That nigga knew.

You should have layed low. Played it cool. Stayed off them golf courses.

Motherfuckas seen your ass on tv...made a sign and ran to the highway and held that bitch up. Remember that shit OJ.

But you kept acting a fool. Doing stupid shit. Always making news. Didn't learn your lesson. Dumb nigga. Didn't see any pickets in Vegas - when their should have been. All white jury in Nevada. Sketchy witnesses and people. Would could have helped you Juice. Shit...even Jesse's ass stayed quiet on this one. That type of case and evidence is a lay up for Jesse.

This is it for you OJ - end of the rope. You shoulda came back. No more running Juice.

Richard Collier - Another Tragic Story

The latest development of the Richard Collier story gets worse. He now has to get his leg amputated. Sad. The events of stories like this (and ones similar) disturb the hell out of me. They're happening far too often with so-called celebraties, in particular - athletes. Robberies, beatings, shootings, killing, and overall bullshit are starting to become common.

Richard is from Compton, California. Sometime brothers from notorious gangsta hoods think solid knowledge of their hometown streets transcends to all streets. They might take risks some others won't take. It seems to me Richard was set up.

He meets some girls in a club. They want to drop off their car - I guess so they all can ride together (that seems dubious in itself. I wonder who's call was that) to somewhere. I believe the girls went to their apartment and Richard was shot right on cue. This doesn't sound random. It seems like the police didn't investigate the girls thorough enough. This type of shit happens alot. I've heard that many athletes in the last few years have been set for robberies from chasing after scandalous women (the crimes went unreported).

These niggas were set up.

This should be a lesson to everyone. Stay the fuck away from hoodrats! Not only is it a waste of time, but that shit will get you killed. These bitches is playing for keeps and y'all niggas is like sheep being led to slaughter house. Come on guys...think.

Sad and tragic story. This could have been avoided with some constructive thought. I'm interested to see what the police turn up (if they decide to conduct a complete investigation).

Terrelle Pryor is Phreaky

This dude is phreaky. Check this shit out.




It seems like now phenoms come along every 3-4 years now. Or maybe phenoms always existed in the past, but for some reason never reached their full potential. Alot shit can happen to a kid that didn't happen to a Lebron, Josh, and now Terrelle. Also with the proliferation of sports and it's societal influence, kids can witness examples of 'hitting the big time'.

That's all I got.

David Blaine is Awesome

David Blaine is not awesome because of those ridiculous magic tricks, which really aren't tricks - in the traditional sense of tv magic. They are stunts. I can appreciate a good stunt from time to time.

Hell I was a kid in the late 70's - that type of shit came on tv regularly. Evil Knieval was always jumping over busses, cars, mountains, canyons - you name it. That nigga was a national hero. There used to be this one dude with a long ass ride with big tires. He would drive that bitch through the desert fast as hell. He never raced anyone, but just drive fast as fuck through the desert. To this day I'm not sure who that was and what the hell he was trying to accomplish. That shit was on tv though.

If the t.v. show That's Incredible (80-84) still existed - this would be the feature stunt. Remember That's Incredible. I vividly remember that one dude that jumped over cars speeding directly at him. It seemed like these cars were on professional race tracks and would get at least 100 yards to get sped up. This motherfucka would stand in the middle of the track and leap over the fucking car. That shit was cool as fuck. He tried two cars, but his foot hit the wind shield of the second car and suffice to say - he got fucked up. I wonder what ever happened to the dude.

Okay...David Blaine. I don't know much about this dude, except that he's a magician. Hell, I'm not even sure about that, seems like he does more stunts than magic tricks. I remember he stood on top of a pole or some shit for a long ass time. Blaine just does shit nobody else will do (or have the free time to do).

Well he out did himself this time. He let Kimbo Slice...I really want to go off on a KS tangent, but that's a whole nother' post. It's a beautiful country when a knocking out fools in the alley can propel a big black motherfucka to stardom. Soooo...Ole' Davey Blaine let KS take a free body shot. Now that's a stunt. Think about it - he does shit nobody else will do. Would you let Kimbo take a free shot at you? Didn't think so...

Jesse Jackson is not a Hater...

I know this is old news, but since I've been absent from blogging...I'm writing about shit that is fucking with me. This Jesse Jackson thing is fucking with me. Jesse Jackson is not a hater - he's just cranky. All them niggas born around his time (early 40's to 50's) are cranky.

He reminds me of my father. He's cranky too. My uncles, his friends, and my high school friends dads all have certain traits in common: Cranky, from the deep south and born on a farm, opinionated, and don't fuck around. Them type of niggas was the prototype of father that we all had in the late 70's to early 80's. All these cats talked the same shit...got pissed by the same shit...and used the same vernacular.

Lot of y'all niggas didn't have fathers around (just keeping it 100), so you don't know. For the few that did - he probably wasn't a good example of a black man that a nigga can look up to (please don't get your panties in a bunch). So cats like Jesse are foreign to alot of y'all.

Now JJ has his faults (which are alot it seems like) and the ironic thing is - most niggas like my Dad not really feelin' Jesse. Jesse is under alot of criticism for lining his pockets under the name of civil rights. Shit...you ever try to organize a bunch of niggas for a bake sale - let alone a boycott, march, or a picket. So find a cause and try to set up a formal opposition utilizing a bunch of black folks. You'll have a new found respect for ole' JJ.

One more thing. Concerning the word nigga. These cats come from the 'do as I say not as I do' camp.

The Google Phone - The G1

I'm surpised more people don't know about this. It's also called the Android. What makes it special is the open platform capabilities. Anyone can provide an application for the phone.




Here are a couple of links:

I'm surprised the google phone (G1) isn't getting more pub. It will though.

I Shoulda Been a Park Ranger...

I took a personality test that would determine the best career suited for me (about 4-5 years ago). According to the test - Park Ranger was on top of the list. At the time I thought the notion of being a park ranger...a PARK RANGER proposterous. Maybe the test was flawed or I inadvertantly didn't answer the questions honestly.

Strongly agree. Disagree. Really disagree. Really really agree. Kind of disagree. Those question/statements are hard to answer within the constraints of the restricted multiple choice options (see above). If you want a retail job, you'll have to take that test before they'll hire you. I read somewhere to answer 'strongly' the way that seems appropriate. Trust me, these people don't want you to think-just obey.


Now that I'm a little older and wiser - I would love to be a Park Ranger. So I comprised my top six reasons I should have been a park ranger.

6) I can drive around (in a government issue vehicle) and preach long ass lectures about the dangers of littering and campfires to dickhead park visitors. I can come off like a real prick. That would be great.

4) Little to hardly no supervision. Maybe the regional or state supervisor Ranger might come around every so often, but I can deal with that.

3) A government issue vehicle (see above). They might even give me a new jeep. That would be cool.

2) Marginally easy work duties. I not really sure about this, but how hard could it be. The most difficult thing would probably be...be uhh...shit - I can't really think of anything.

1) The number one reason it would be cool to be a park ranger. I can wear those pants that flair out at the thighs (maybe that's state troopers - but I would wear them anyway) . That would give me a real hard case look. The flair out pants give a real aura of don't fuck around with me. I I can just see it now: Pick up that goddamn garbage! And don't fuck with me. You better put out that fucking camp fire! And don't fuck with me!
