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. (more…)
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) (more…)
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. (more…)
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:
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.
A word of advice: Do not go into the business of newspapers.
Why? Because it’s time consuming, difficult and numbing. Everything that can go wrong does go wrong, you have to be a ridiculous stickler for details and you can’t have an ego. If that description fits you, please take my job.
Here is my second column. It was pretty lazily done, as I wrote it because I had no other content to publish that day, but it’s decent. The idea is that you should evaluate things on a deeper level, not just based on what’s thrown in front of you, or not because it agrees with your beliefs. Once people start doing that, life will be immensely better… too bad it’ll never happen.
Over the course of the year, we’re going to see a fair amount of blunders, missteps and failures around campus. Through it all, there’s one thing we need to remember: nobody sits down and plans problems, things just inevitably go wrong. (more…)
Man… has it been a minute. I have really slacked hard on the blog and through all fault of my own have not had any resolve to blog.
I need to change the layout, update the links, and most of all post stuff on here… hopefully I’ll get better on that sooner rather than later.
School, among other things have been kicking my butt. Unfortunately when I get busy, I neglect the things that I need/want to do in order to get the stuff I have to do done–hence the blog has not been updated. What’s so bad about it is I haven’t even posted my columns from the Kentucky Kernel. Tisk.
So I have two to catch up on and post, along with another one that I’ll write for tomorrows paper… and then there is a Kid Cudi album review coming… So there will be four posts within the next couple of days.
This semester will be key in building for the future, both for myself and the Kentucky Kernel. Personally, I have to lay the building blocks for graduation, a career and a life of learning that will cease only when I die. For the Kernel, we are beginning to move forward with journalism as it rapidly evolves and takes on exciting new challenges. All of these things are welcome, but will be very different from what you normally see, so I have a few pieces of information and tips about the Kernel and the opinions page this year. (more…)
