Its 2011...

"Should old acquaintence be forgot..."

The present time is 12:50am on 1/1/11 and I have decided that one of my daily things is to blog more often. Not because I want to reblog foolishness or any entertainment "news"...but to really speak my mind and let the world into my little corner. Read my thoughts, feel what I am feeling, and just to get shit off my chest (which was the initial reason for me starting this thingy last summer...

Now on with the first entry for the year and its all about what I want to do this year...RESOLUTIONS!

Resolutions are supposedly a guideline to what you wanna do better, different, or more challenging. Some people set out to do this and that...stop smoking, lose weight, be kinder to the general population as it is. BLAH! What I wanna do for 2011 is really simple... I WANT TO DO BETTER! In all aspects of my life; whether its work, church, or just my everyday journey with what time I have left on the third rock from the son.

BUT! There are some things that I want to vent about...as far as resolutions are concerned...its just like lent. We make all these promises and what nots and then 30 minutes later something has gone terribly wrong. Most are things I've seen on Twitter so if you tweeted or re-tweeted any of the following things...Yes I'm talking to / about you.

1.) "I'm gonna leave all toxic relationships in 2010..." No you not! You gonna run with the same messy bitches that talk about the same people who arent in your circle of fools. You gonna deal with the same trifling ass nigga that you gonna keep laying down with and taking whatever proceeds you can get out of him (legal / illegal) by any and all means necessary. You gonna still be dealing with the same broad that you ran enough game on that you and both are actually believing the shit and are STILL delusional. And at any rate you or her is STILL gonna be "The Duck" in this relationship. You gonna still hang out with the same niggaz that are gonna game on you behind your back, hang along with you cause you got a "good heart" and you buying drinks, got ins at the club, or got a ride... Ima need yall to do better

2.) "In 2011, Im gonna stack this cheese" Once again you lie... whatever money you gonna get is gonna be spent on a various and sundried list of shit whether you can afford it or not. You gonna still wanna be "that nigga/bitch" in the club with your same toxic friends...You still gonna want to be first in line at Foot Locker when the new J's come out...You gonna still be wanting to spend 3 bills on True Religion jeans when your gas tank is almost on E...and lets not talk about runnin back and forth to the airport cause you wanna go to the Super Bowl (without a ticket) or to All Star Weekend (without a ticket) or the BET Hip Hop Awards (with/without a ticket...why would you really wanna go there in the first place). Be the first on your block with the newest phone or whatever the gadget of the month is... but yo kids need milk/diapers/a role model, you aint got no insurance, you called Entergy to get an extension on your bill - just bullshit that you aint done yet to say you "handled your business".

NOW CONVERSELY IF YOU CAN AFFORD ALL THAT SHIT AND STILL STACK YOUR BREAD...KEEP DOIN WHAT YOU DOIN AND DISREGARD THIS

3.) "I need a new man in 2011..." No you dont. What you need is an attitude adjustment and to stop acting like a bitch. If you got a good man, who has an education, goes to church AND believes in the Lord, no kids, and handles his business and you complaining about what he dont do...9 outta 10 YOU the one fucking up. Get off that man's back and see what he goes through eryday and applaud him for doin the right thing. Stop all that nag shit in his ear cause your girl got this, that and the other and you dont. Maybe she's working and got her own...now if she got a man that showers her with things and yours dont, but he's trying you cant be mad.... Now if yo man is a shiftless, trifling, sleep all day, do nothin ass nigga, by all means get a new man, but while you out there still get that attitude straightened out. Fellas this shit goes for you too...cause I know some of yall are caught in situations that you cant / wont get out of because of convience but playa...the pussy aint THAT good...do yourself a favor and DO BETTER

4.) "I'm gonna be the next big thing in 2011...watch and see"... NIGGA PLEASE you not Wayne, Em, Jigga, Trey, Nikki or whomever else is always in the "HOT" conversation. If you put the work in and are seriously on your grind and good enough to blow up, then do so. But if you still screaming "COMING SOON" and been screaming that shit for 3 years...STOP! Don't be mad UPS is hiring... BITCH PLEASE...you will NOT be America's Next Top Model, just because a nigga done told you how cute you are and how fine you are or cause a GWAC (guy with a camera) says he's gonna shoot you in bikinis or less and you gon be the next Buffie the Body cause you got hella ass and titties but look like Deacon Jones and you THINK you cute, then fall for it... BTW the crouched down backshot or the lean with it poses that you do for the pictureman in the club every weekend are NOT considered poses that will get you in a magazine. YOUNG NIGGA...unless you got THAT special talent that will make you the next Michael Jordan or the next Drew Brees you better have some kind of back up plan (read: GRADUATE from somebodies school), cause if you dont you gon end up like dude from Above The Rim flying off the roof.

5.) "My swag is gonna be on ________" ... First let's stop using the word "swag", its over, done, finished and most importantly overused and played out. If you have a certain persona use it to your advantage, but if you have to keep announcing your "s-word" is such and so then you really DON'T have one. You got a way of walking and conducting yourself, fine. Someone will see it and comment on it themselves. You gonna always "do you" and you gonna have to handle yourself accordingly...Set your own trends and don't follow them...be your own man/woman. Invent yourself first, then if that dont work re-invent yourself and keep on til you get it right...

At any rate...whatever it is you gonna do in 2011 do your best. And please (directed especially to young African Americans) STOP KILLING EACH OTHER...its not a good look... HAPPY NEW YEAR

LeBron James: From The King to That Nigga

"I guess that's why I'm here and I can't come back home / and guess when I heard that...when I came back home" Kanye West "Homecoming"

Aiight, now that the big business of the NBA Free Agency period is over (ie: The Decision) I'd like to give my opinion on this matter. The 3 Kings of Miami that is. First I'd like to commend King James, D-Wade, and Chris Bosh for "singlehandedly" pissing off the world, even if they didnt do it intentionally. (that really goes for LeBron cause he has made himself the Villain to the entire city of Cleveland and Cavalier Nation). You get kudos on that one. Secondly, showing that there is NO LONGER a "slave mentality" among pro athletes anymore. And finally gettin ready to put a hurt / assault / raping of the NBA for at least the next 6 years.

When LeBron set up this mini press circus called The Decision on ESPN on Thursday past, we should have known it was gonna be a big clusterfuck after he announced his intentions to either stay in Cleveland or move on to one of 5 other teams...The Clippers (which I knew was NOT gonna happen), The Bulls, The Knicks, The Nets, and the Heat. (I thought I'd list the teams just in case everyone reading this didnt know). Within minutes of The King saying he was gonna take his talents to South Beach and joining the Miami Heat, there was a mix of emotions all over. In M.I.AYO there was a myriad of excitement, laughter, hugs and tears of joy knowing that the reigning two time league MVP was on his way with his signature massive dunks, nail biting, and endorsement prowess (like Miami really needs that). In NYC there was another big let down...Chicago was like *shrug* lets keep it moving. While in Cleveland there were tears, jeers, and cats burning LeBron jerseys and anything else that adorned the man's likeness. The biggest thing tho was the scathing email from Cavs owner Dan Gilbert ripping James a new one for what he called "cowardly behavior". Callin the man the self proclaimed former King among other things, and guarenteeing that the Cavs would win a championship before the Heat would and that he is taking the Cleveland curse down south with him. (Like the South aint cursed enough...he coulda just left that out). In Kingly fashion, when asked about the images of people burning his jersey, James said "If I would have been traded, would my family burn down the organization?" Touche' my man...GOOD ANSWER!

Truthfully speaking...Does LeBron REALLY owe the city of Cleveland and the Cavs ANYTHING? Is it REALLY that bad that he left in anticipation of fulfilling the goal and dream of EVERY professional athlete? To them yes...to him no. That man spent 7 seasons playing in Cleveland and the money he generated for the organization and the city should have been clearly enough. The season before he got drafted the Cavs were 29th in attendance and up until this past season they were as high as 2nd...GTFOH with that bull...He has brought revenue to all the bars and restaurants in The Flats for the last 7 seasons and we not even gonna talk about money that team made off their share of the TV contracts, and league merchandising that bears the Cavalier logo. I really think the folks of Northern Ohio are salty as well as selfish. You dont see the people in Toronto talkin shit about Chris Bosh dippin out, nor the Raptors organization ethering him for his decision? DO YOU?

The 3 Kings as they were officially named by the PA announcer for the Heat at the welcoming party held in American Arena yesterday, really put a damper on the "Slave Mentality" of professional sports. They decided to make a pact to play together on a team and dominate, win championships and develop a legacy and a brand that will rival those of the Lakers, Bulls, and the Celtics. These 3 young me (Wade being the oldest at the ripe age of 28) got together and said "you know what? we good friends, we great ball players and in a year or so we can mesh these talents, get on the same team and run the league, while at the same time GETTIN PAID. (Terms of the deal released this morning were James and Bosh will make $110 MIL and Wade will make $107 MIL. over 6 years) Dont be mad if next year you see other "superstars" in other sports doing the SAME THING...NFL, MLB, and NHL and if you crackers want these niggas to "entertain you", by runnin fast, hittin hard and jumping high..."you gon pay what you owe" -Riley Freeman

The bottom line is that man made a decision that was best for him and his family. You cant fault a man for doin that. If Gilbert and the Cavs organization wanted him to stay there, they shoulda built a better product around the King to win a ring...c'mon man ANTWAIN JAMISON??? Are you serious? He should be baggin groceries at a Food Lion or something. Mo Williams? Alrighty then...and Leon Powe (he was still hurt from 08 when he was on the Celtics, now if that wasnt a dummy move and a waste of money, what was it) Delonte West? All he was good for was stashing weapons, not taking his medicine and supposedly doin the nasty with Gloria (LeBron's moms) that nigga was worthless from jumpstreet. And what I just saw was that Pat Riley is talkin to Derek Fisher about possibly joining Miami cause they wanna give him less money in LA (after they signed Steve Blake...yeah I know most of yall are saying WHO?) so it is what it is. Bron Bron, if you reading this (and I really doubt it) DO YOU MY NIGGA...if dont nobody else on earth think you did a good thing FUCK EM AND FEED EM PORK AND BEANS

And Im out, gettin online to order my King James Heat Jersey

Blatent racism in 2010???

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Rothlisberger in the past three off seasons has been involved with police in three different jurisdictions and has "escaped" facing charges and seemingly the wrath of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Can someone please tell me how the leagues Code of Conduct works. Dude has been accused twice for sexual assault (a kinder, gentler way of saying rape) and so far hasn't received a slap on the wrist or raised public consciousness, not to mention scrutiny of mainstream media and the worldwide sports leader ESPN.

Philly QB Michael Vick has knowledge of dog fighting on his property and everyone from PETA to Charlie Brown got shit to say. Former NY Giant Plaxico Burress accidentally shoots HIMSELF in the leg, gets jail time. Donte' Stallworth is involved in vehicular homicide, gets 30 days in jail and labeled damaged goods. Washington Wizard guard Gilbert Arenas waves an unloaded pistol in the locker room and the right to bear arms is suddenly hidden in a pile of red tape. What's really going on? I got one word for you.... RACISM!!!!

When will the nonsense cease? Apparently no time soon. God bless America (REAL TALK)

NFC Championship in The Big Easy

We started off 10-0, they said we couldn't beat Tom Terrific and we did. Three more wins, we had a minor setback and we lost to Tony Homo and the Cowgirls. They wrote us off. We got a first round bye and they said we gonna be rusty against Hurt Warner and the Cardinals..but we put the wham wham on that ass in the divisional game.

The media took all the focus off the Saints, the number ONE team in the NFC and decided to give all their attention to the second seeded Minnesota ViQueens and Brett "I wear Wrangler Jeans for real" Favre, and how he was gonna demolish the Saints and head to Miami. Guess what... Drew Brees and the Bless You Boys got in his face the entire game and are celebrating the NFC Championship and Favre's retirement on Bourbon Street. Who Dat!!!

See you in South Florida, bring your sunscreen.

Posted by the Insomniaq using BlogPress from my iPhone...you suckas!!!!!

Who Dat!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen, put your hands together for the most disrespected professional football team of all time. The 2009 NFC South Champions, New Orleans Saints. All the news media (except Jim Henderson and the locals) are giving more coverage to teams like Dallas, Minnesota, and New York Jets and mention the Saints as an after thought. ESPN gave the Cowgirls 10 minutes virtually crowning them the NFC representatives in the Super Bowl, and 3 minutes to the Black and Gold. WTF!!!

We have the highest ranked offense in the league. Have beaten the "best" of all teams and still get pushed to the side like a D2 college team. With weapons like Brees, Colston, Bush, Shockey, and Thomas, a bend but don't break defense, you GOTTA give them boys some respect. Fox analyst and former Giant defensive end Michael Strahan is the biggest Saints hater of ALL time. No matter who they play the gapped tooth wonder will pick against em. They could play against a Pop Warner team and he is gonna bet the farm against the boys.

I hope they get to Miami and drop kick the hell outta whomever. You better hope it don't happen, cause we gonna tear the city down. Me personally Ima camp out in front of foot locker on the corner of Canal and Bourbon streets, waitin for a "Do the Right Thing" garbage can through the window so I can hit somethin!

This goes out to Strahan and the Saints haters...
"We number 1-2, win (you), 3-4 (win some more), 5-6 (win again), 7-8 (win again), 9-10 (win again) win (again), win (again), win (again), win (again), win (again), win (again)" - Drew Brees

STFU

What the hell is goin on with all these people talkin real wreckless these days? The old folks always said, it's better to be seen and not heard. Conan O'Brian needs to heed that advice. He said if they push his show, The Tonight Show back 30 minutes to let Jay Leno in following the local news he's gonna walk. I said from the start that he was not the one to host that show once Jay said he was trying to give it up. But since I'm not an exec at NBC, I had no say so in the matter. If Conan does leave the network I'm pretty sure that he can always land his offbeat humor somewhere else.

Present, former, and hopeful political figures let words fly out of their mouths without processing what's gonna come out. Harry Reid of Nevada said the President was light skinned and didn't speak with a "negro" dialect, and that was key to his successful bid for the White House. Oops dummy! Luckily he was excused by the Oval office for his words of stupidity.

Former Illinois Govenor Blegojevich said he was "blacker than the President". Now that sounded like a skit from The Chappell Show to me. What made him open his piehole and say that. Matter of fact why is he even in front of tv cameras and microphones anyway? He had his 15 minutes when he got kicked out of his office for an assortment of dumb stuff he did.

All this nonsense has spawned a website, www.theconversationonrace.com. Voice your opinion if you care to.

Closer to home, Mayorial hopeful John Georges was quoted twice saying dumbshit. One statement referring to the new LSU hospital in downtown New Orleans, would make the footprint of the city look like that of a plantation. A plantation? Are you serious???? Then turned around a said he was an African American candidate, I mean a candidate for African Americans, I meant a candidate with the support of African Americans. What an idiot. In a campaign commercial he said he would re-open Charity Hospital. He doesn't have the authority to do so as Mayor, cause it's a state facility. Oh well, stupid is as stupid does.

Oh well...it is what it is. I'm Finns head out and just spew non sensical foolishness for the hell of it and see what happens. BTW, even though this is off topic, Moral Oral on adult swim is the craziest cartoon.

MerryNewKwanza...

Happy holidays to everybody that follows this blog. I'm trying to figure out how to blog from my iPhone, so give me a second, but my resolution is to blog more. Especially since my life and the things I see on the regular are so interesting. But in the meantime...check out some of these pictures.

Well that ain't work soooooo... First fail of the new year (that Ima tell y'all about)
shout out to Greg Square.

Catch a Tiger, let him go...

Aiight, I've waited far too long to blog and to respond to the Tiger Woods "story", so here it is...

I have mixed views and emotions about Eldrick "Tiger" Woods and the recent media attention that his PERSONAL life has gotten recently. We all knew that it would be a matter of time before his "squeaky clean" image would come into question. Last Friday there was an accident in the driveway / next door neighbors house, where Woods was leaving his house (as one of the neighbors saw it) barefoot at 3 am. He banged his LEASED Cadillac Escalade into a fire hydrant and then a tree. Reports say that he was injured and his wife used a 3 iron to get him out of the vehicle. BLAH BLAH SKIPPY (you all know what was reported). He went to the hospital, got treated, was released and returned home, straight into seclusion. There were statements on his website, making references to "transgressions against his family that he was ashamed of". That should have been a wrap, but NOOOOOOO... Now all of the sudden there are women (all Caucasian at that) that are coming out of the woodworks saying that they have had relations and rendezvous with the PGA's shining knight. All this being said his "image" is being questioned and I have a something to say about it...

First of all...We (Black people) are at odds with Tiger. He has described his ethnicity as "Caublasian", a combination of Caucasian, Black, and Asian. Now it is known that his mother is an Asian woman and his father was a Black man...Where does the caucasian come in at? The human ethnic equation always has interested me, especially when people say they are a "quarter" of this, or part that. Is that some new math or something, cause where I come from if you got a drop of "Nigga Blood" in the mix, YOUZE A NIGGA! Strike one bruh.

Secondly, your wife is a white woman. I dont have a problem with it cause thats your thing and I know plenty brothers that rock with Snow Bunnies, regularly, consistantly and exclusively. Though there are plenty sisters that give you the side eye, cause they dont have their hooks in you (and your bank account), many of them give you the other side eye, cause she aint that hot son. The dude that hooked yall up is a herb, cause she was his "nanny", before he got tired of smashin her, and his "transgressions against his family" were revealed. Even though her family is of some government capacity in her native SWEDEN! (dude who really gets down with the Swiss, besides other Sweeds, maybe some ham or turkey) She is the Webster's Dictionary definition of Euro Trash. Then the women that you creeped with were white women. When are you gonna figure it our? Or maybe I'm slow. Its my understanding that the woman from New York, is some sort of "party promoter" (read:HO) and denied having a physical relation with you, then changed her story and said that she did. So she is probably trying to cash in on your status / situation to get her 15 minutes of limelight. Steeeeerike twooooooooooooo

The PGA has been waiting for you to slip up. You really are the anti golfer, even though you have brought a resurgence and exposure to the game of golf, you aint nothin but the brunt of plenty jokes. What do you call 300 white guys chasing 1 black guy? The PGA tour... (insert canned laughter here). Conan O'Brian, George Lopez, Jay Leno, and even the poster child for cheaters David Letterman all have cracked on you this past week and with your wife and her mother rushing to the hospital followed by Harvey Levin and the TMZ people, the Woods' have given them more ammunition to hit you with more jokes for the next couple weeks til something else pops up. Even D-list syndicated radio morning show host Big Boy from Big Boy's Neighborhood had a parody on you using the Jay Z song Empire State of Mind, called Dork State of Mind, They even used a sampling of one of those voice mails (now how those get released?) Not to mention the thingy during the Jacksonville Jags game where there was a blonde woman chasing a tiger with a golf club...and your popularity amongst Americans is down to 39%...And thats strike three kid, Sit on it Potsie

All your major sponsers (Nike, Gatorade *who pulled your drink*, AT&T, Gillette, and EA Sports) are standing behind you, so far they havent completely backed out on you, cause you make THEM money at one point or another. Even though none of your ads have run on primetime television since November 29th. ESPN analyst and former athlete / coach Herm Edwards said it doesnt even matter if you lose your endorsements, you dont need any extra money, cause youre the GREATEST GOLFER OF ALL TIME. This from a cat that has been fired twice for sure and has never won a major ANYTHING.

Im gonna give you a plausible solution that can either get you off the hook or deeper in the fire, depending on how you pull it off... Being that you are a BILLIONAIRE, write a check dude... Start introducing yourself to African American women, they NEVER turn down large amounts of money... maybe a combination of the two. If you continue to deal with white women, you may want to write a check first and get some kinda paperwork stating that they gotta keep their mouths shut. Additionally instead of "hiding" behind your computer in your khakis, get you a pair of Jordans, some jeans, a white tee shirt and be the nigga they callin you. Staying inside only makes things worse. Get it off your chest, speak on it... call the homie Terrell Owens and get explicit instructions on how to tell it like it is.
