Get that outta here

Previously on WhatWouldWesleyDo: D. Wade=dunk of the year!

So I apologize for missing even more time… I missed Bill Belichick ruining Randy Moss’s superb Sunday night performance, King Felix not winning the Cy Young and the release of Twilight 2 or whatever the F it is. … and then I still got the NBA Preview to do.

But to be quick I posted links and here’s my quick thoughts. Belichick did what he does, I don’t have a problem with it, but I’d rather see the Pats win, Zack Greinke was the best pitcher all year and his start was one of the all-time greats, and Twilight sucks, if you like it, so do you.

I like giving updates on where my time goes, so I’ll let you know my work at the Kernel is getting more serious. Not only are we having to work harder to compensate for the drop in journalism, but we are adding new stuff. Hopefully, I’ll get some writing done on our new sports blog BlueNationBlog and I’ll get more passion for what I’m doing.

The most recent controversy on campus is what has got me stressed out this time. I definitely can tell I’m showing wear and am succumbing to stress a lot more, and stuff like this doesn’t help. Especially with jackasses like this.

 

That's what we're dealing with

I’m gonna let this one speak for itself.

The best way to spend a dollar (Updated)

Previously on WhatWouldWesleyDo: Fix it

Update: Chad (Johnson) Ochocinco fined $20,000 for the obvious joke. There’s a difference between a bribe and an blatant joke. Mr. Ochocinco is great for the NFL and the league has to stop being so generally uptight….

I should have insta-blogged this:

Ballin’ Outrageous son

Chad Ochocinco is absolutely hilarious… and not just because the number “85″ is ochenta y cinco en Espanol. Dude is the king of hilarious celebrations, and this was just one of the many great ones. It’s funny though, when people misunderstand such a complex individual. Check out the comment’s on this Yahoo! Sports Shutdown Corner Blog Post for some of the ridiculous things people think about one of the most witty, creative, funny moments in NFL history. Hopefully, Chad gets fined so this gets even more pub and people get to see how unique this guy is.

Check out the video:

But wait, there’s more… Mr. Ochocinco has full archives of great antics.

Previously on WhatWouldWesleyDo: Pop culture overpowers society’s real issues

I’ve realized why I haven’t been enjoying life… I’m not being me.

Not in the sense that I’m faking life or doing things I don’t want to do, but I’m truly not making time for doing things I enjoy or doing things that make me happy.

For example, I’m a very clean person, always have been. If you’ve been to my habitat lately you’d know that’s not the case. I had been sitting around blaming time constraints, people being in my apartment and being too tired to clean, but at the end of the day, I just didn’t DO anything. If I saw a mess, I’d let it sit and wait for someone else to take care of it, and that’s not my style. Video evidence:

^^^^OK maybe I’m not that bad, but I do get bothered by stuff. (And LOL at the huge black guy)

Pop culture overpowers society’s real issues

Slowly, but surely, I’m catching up. I feel like I’ve been doing everything at 50% lately and even though I’m all for putting in as little effort as possible, that’s just unacceptable… I at least have to step it up to 75% effort.

Like I said, I have to catch you all up on my columns. Strangely, I haven’t even posted those up yet. I guess I’m just that lazy. Or maybe it’s because I spend my time doing this:

Spending time at the Kernel is about the only place I put in serious effort. (I'm the dark guy next to the lighter girl on the computer) And that takes a ton of time for so many reasons

But now’s not the time to whine. You don’t care about that, right?

So here’s the column. I wrote it right after Kanye did his VMA thing, but I think the point of the column generally applies to life. So far this year, I think that column has been written three times, other than by myself… and I’ve written it twice before. LOL

Just read:

Pop culture overpowers society’s real issues

Column by Wesley Robinson

It’s not often an event in pop culture has as much effect as we have seen the past few days. Yet since Sunday, ringing from the villages of Facebook and the hamlets of Twitter was the news of Kanye West’s blatant disrespect of Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards.

I will up some of my columns from earlier this semester tonight or tomorrow to fill out the content…

In the meantime check this out.

The only thing funnier than the video is the actual situation…

Pre-NBA preview

Previously on WhatWouldWesleyDo: We’ve got an Rep for that

I haven’t been blogging regularly and now is a tough time to get back on track… I just got over the swine flu and have to catch up on everything, I’m constantly one of the busiest people you know, and last but not least, the NBA season is getting ready to start.

I go back and forth over what sport is my favorite and since baseball is winding down and basketball is getting ready to start up, it’s harder than ever to decide. Being young, black and mildly suffering from sever attention deficit disorder, would probably predispose me to loving basketball with all my heart… but I won’t pay however much it is I paid to watch most of the games in the baseball season (I watched 120+), so maybe it is baseball. Anyways, it’s time for my pre NBA preview. The actual preview will come late tonight early tomorrow, but I have to do get this out first.

(As usual, I’m behind and now the season has started, but I can still make bold predictions with only one game on the table!)

This will be my second season without my beloved Seattle SuperSonics–one of the many things I have had taken from me since I hit the real world at about 14. Near the top of the list of beloved things I have lost is my home, through moving to Kentucky. The move has been so difficult because at the end of the day, all of the pain, ranging from the death of my Granny, to the relocation of the Sonics has been enhanced by the fact that I wasn’t around to see it and I have no connection to any of the events that continue to shape my life.

That being said, the death of the Sonics eased by knowing great people like the Save Our Sonics people were integral in the fight to maintain the Sonics. Along with the produces of:

^^^^
…the wonderful Sonicsgate documentary.

I’m gonna leave that top part blank, because whatever it was happened so long ago, it doesn’t even count.

So I have been working hard, bumming around, suffering from the Swine Flu and doing a lot of nothing, which is why I haven’t blogged.

I won’t make any promises and act like I’m going to be consistent… BUT check here at least thrice weekly.

A great friend (the bestest BFF forever in the whole wide world) Alise Marshall sent me this video in an e-mail late yesterday, and I think it accurately sums up the right side of the argument in Congress.
