If you're not familiar with the state propositions for AZ, check out Gray3's Thirdsphere for most of the propositions.
Phone use while operating a vehicle in California has been banned. Will this law ever reach AZ? I don't know about ya'll, but I stay texting and driving. Bad habit, I know I know. Even I think that it should be banned!
Cassie is super official.
Wildcats from all over the nation will be back in Tucson, AZ for another homecoming weekend. Oct. 25th, should be interesting. Possible Hasselhoff sighting? Let me know and get some pictures!
Why are there so many weddings to attend these days?
The 2008-2009 Season is right around the corner. NBA All-Star weekend is coming back to the valley this year. PHX is gonna pop off that weekend. Either way, goodbye baseball highlights on Sportscenter! Speaking of which...
Phillies VS. Devil Rays/Redsox. I'm sure the commissioner wanted to see a big ticket series...Dodgers/Sox. Would've been great to see "Manny being Manny" against his old team.
Sorry for the randomness. Have a great weekend people!!
"I Ain't A Blood, But I'm Warrin With The Boys In Blue...."
Hova premiered his latest single Jockin Jay-Z (Dope Boy Fresh) from his upcoming album Blueprint 3; I guess S Dot is working exclusively with the boy Ye...on this one. Please don't sleep on this album people. Without anymore delay, here is the latest by Jay.
I just wanna know what ya'll think and prefer. Personally, its a very hard decision, but I'm gonna have to go with the Dungeness on this one. I just had some real delicious ones while I was in the Bay area this past weekend and this was just a question that came to mind. Let know what ya'll think!
"Where's the cookies and s*&t??" - Bernie Mac (10/05/1957 - 10/09/2008)
American comedian Bernie Mac passed away on August 9th, 2008 from pneomonia. The actor/comedian was only 50 years old. My earliest recollection of Bernie Mac came when I first saw Above The Rim, a film in which Bernie played the character Flip, a homeless dude who often tried to play ball with the main character Kyle Watson. Flip eventually gets slayed by Birdie (Tupac Shakur).
He was also one of the funnier comedians in The Original Kings of Comedy, which also starred other comedians such as Steve Harvey, DL Hughley, and Cedric the Entertainer.
"They Say This Cat Shaft Is a Bad Motha (Shut yo mouth!!)..."
American soul singer Isaac Hayes (10/1942 - 10/2008) was found dead in his home in Tennessee a few days ago. The cause of the death is still unknown but physicians believe that it might be related to a stroke that he had a couple of years ago. Also, I found this SAMPOLOGY of Isaac Hayes by DJ Parlor, which culminates the career of this American legend over at Up To Par...dope mix, please check it out.
"DWade bringin the Miami Heat, like Weezy breaks down a Manny beat..."
That guy... the one who disappeared from Championship status for 2 years is finally back. If you guys have been watching Team USA, you'd easily agree with me. He looks like he's back to his original athleticism and he's improved his shot.
For those of you that play fantasy basketball, you better take a good look at him.
Unfortunately, I have some doubts about Team USA Basketball. Please see below for my reasons.
1. Lack of a center. Dwight Howard is not a real center that is efficient with helping out on defense. Someone please tell me how many blocks he's averaging so far. How come the roster only has one center? Twilight zone... dun dun dun.
2. Lack of international style point guard. Deron and Chris Paul are slow down type players who can be argued scoring points. Paul can't really shoot the 3. J Kidd is old and overrated, but a true point. I seen the opponents pack and sag when Kidd is in the game. You tell me... where's the ball movement?
3. Inability to guard against the 3. You want a coach that can stop international ball? You better bring in some Poppovich help. Not some D'antoni anti-defense. The only team that plays great pick and roll defense is Spurs... I don't even know if anyone in the NBA knows it.
4. Kobe is a defensive stopper? Who the heck tells the most talented offensive player in the world to focus on defense? Idiots.
5. FIBA Officials aren't NCAA Officials. Sorry Coach K, you won't get the calls that you usually get.
6. Team skills are not there yet. These other international teams have been playing for at least 3 years together. They even grew up playing together. It's not always about athleticism!
Good luck! I hope the US wins the gold but to me, they're not the favorites.
This past weekend my good friend Matt came down from Los Angeles with a few friends of his. Because there were 5 of them and 6 including yours truly, we also got a chance to stay at the Westin at Kierland. Beautiful resort.
My people got in late Friday evening and we just ordered room service and popped a couple bottles. After a few drinks we decided that it was way too hot so we took a dip at the 24 hour pool. Thanks for making us keep quiet security! P.S. Sorry ONBs for not being able to make it to Suede. One Love.
The next day we took advantage of the gorgeous sunny day and spent the rest of the afternoon laying out by the pool and teaching my boy Q how to swim (I thought Koreans knew how to get it done in the water, no?). Matt and UJK really missed out on a fantastic day.
Later that evening we went to Matt's home away from home, aka Myst. Thanks El for holding us down at the bar. Good times were had. Plus whoever that DJ was, he was killin it. (Kellen, you left right before he spun some Guetta, but I got you....there is a link at the top of this post in case you need to hear it).
And Sunday morning, as usual, spent the day with the Man upstairs for some serious nourishment for our souls. Thanks for watching over us and keeping us safe.
Special thanks to...Mandoo, Q, UJK, Burrito Monster, Byuntaesaurus, JaeHot, Techno K, my cousin Goon, HenMart and El at the BAR for making it a great weekend for me.
Good People + Good Food + Good Drinks + Good Music = One hell of a time!!
I had the opportunity to watch the latest film by Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly, Step Brothers. To be completely honest, I went to the movie thinking....is this going to be another Talladega Nights? Blades of Glory? Semi-Pro? I'm not sure if you all agree with me or not, but the films that I just mentioned were, to be brutally honest, terrible. After hisearlierprojects such as Old School and Anchor Man, and random SNL skits, it was as though he was on top of the comedic realm. But then he releases some bummy movies because he knows that he can sell those movies just based off of his name. I'm sure there are die hard fans that say that all of his films are hilarious. Anyways, his latest creation will leave you in stitches. Definitely worth going to see, maybe even a second time. I haven't laughed out loud in a movie for quite some time. So thank you Mr. Ferrell for finally coming with something I can be proud to say was.....hilarious.
