Keep On Pushing

Get well soon

So often in life we do things without giving a second thought as to how fortunate we are. When you think about it, even the most mundane tasks can be seen as a blessing from the right perspective. There is so much we take for granted, and we only appreciate it till its gone.

Yesterday morning Eduardo Da Silva was just another athlete, who was about to play a league game just like any other. He was in his first season at Arsenal, won of the best clubs in the world, and after starting the season slowly he was finally starting to cemement his place in the First XI. Three minutes into the game, He was the victim of a horrific tackle by Martin Taylor. The tackle which was a immediate red card offense broke Eduardo's leg in 3 places.

I am no Arsenal fan, by any stretch of the imagination. But after seeing the aftermath of the tackle I was almost reduced to tears. I have seen my fair of injuries over the years in sports. But I have never seen anything as horrific as this, It was so bad Sky Sports wasnt even allowed to show the replay.

It isnt the severity of the injury that bothers me so much, but the fact that He may never be able to play soccer again. I was torn on whether I wanted to post links to the video or the pics of the incident, But I just couldnt bring myself to do it.

I would encourage all of you to keep Eduardo in your thoughts and prayer this week, that he may be able to one day play again. Cause no one deserves to be hurt like that. and We must all take a chance to reflect on what we love in life and thank God we are able to do it.

The south is responsible for some trash in terms of hip hop. Seems like at times all they are worried about is the "club banger". But this Hurricane Chris song is my cut. Can anyone guess the group they sampled?

"When people don't like me"

Whats goin on with all these NBA Live type trades? you know the kind where you trade to stack your own team..?? Bibby traded to ATL for 4 average or below average players for one of the best points in the league? The ATL made a serious move.. Bibby, Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, and Rookie of The Year Al Horford- Damn thats a scary line up..

Member these?? He had everyone pumpin their toungue's up... lol

Even though Dunks are becoming the new played out version of AF1's... I still want a Dave White authentic

Long story short I was in charge of February, Black History Month.

So one of the things I did was put a 2008 calendar of black facts I found on the internet to let them know that you don't need a month to celebrate culture and gain some knowledge about history.

Well, Human Resources came up to me the other day and said that someone had complained and I needed to take it down.

I asked what was wrong with the calendar?

They said that everything was cool except for June 16th.

Rest in Peace Tupac Shakur...

Did you see the Grammys? My thoughts...

Nas on the red carpet, people gonna have a field day with this album title.

-Is Amy Winehouse song life imitating art or art imitating life?

-Kanye x Daft Punk was ill. CBS was hella rude for starting the music when he was speaking about his mother?

-Hahaha @ the dude that dissed Kanye. "Have the Beatles handed you a Grammy Kanye?"
-Alicia Keys thighs are from GOD.

-Rhianna is tuff, island girls are craze though.

-Young Dro and Fantasia are together? They looked happy at the Grammys and Dro was fitted. Thats a country ass couple if I ever saw one.

Kanye performance of Stronger& Hey Mama

Step your game up boy hustle harder

My girl ajb is doin her thing out in Hollywood, and needs your vote.

She's been hustlin hard as I've seen it done and could use some help dreamin live.

The website's a little slow but you can check her out here and show some luv.

Where I'm From

As we travel down highway 101 the scenic route...

I had a conversation the other day with my brother about the lack of love Arizona gets. We just had the Super Bowl and FBR all in one weekend. The valley for a few days felt like Vegas even if it was for 4 days.

I'll start with the bad side of living in the Phoenix area:
-3 months of dry heat, but you get used to it.
-Lack of entertainment in the valley. It seems that hardly any artists come here other than for a major tour.
-Scottsdale is like a fake LA. Its LA for people who cant afford to live in LA.
-Lack of shopping. We have no "streetwear" shops which can be a good or bad thing. People live to go to the mall out here.
-NO hip hop scene at all, a place like Cinespace could be huge out here.
-The ARIZONA CARDINALS. (THEY ARE WE THOUGHT THEY WERE!!!)
The Goodness of living in the Phoenix area:
-We are 45 minutes on a plane from Vegas and LA. Both plane tickets are cheap.
-Summer, yeah its hot but thats an excuse for girls in bikinis. Pool parties are where you will see some of the baddest chicks on the planet.
-Scottsdale its expensive, but again some of the baddest chicks in the country at these clubs.
-FBR and Suns games...women, women, women!!!
-Cost of living is dumb cheap out here. Yeah you may live in the city but your paying $1500 a month for an apartment the size of my room. That $1500 out here can get you a 4 bedroom house out here with plenty of room. Yes, I know its a trade off.
-Last but not least its February and youre in The North Face's 2008 collection. I'm in this weather.
See you in February 2009 for the NBA-All Star game.

The Rulers Back

I aint a R & B dude...

Never been a big r&b dude besides obvious early to mid 90's classic groups. One cat thats been consistent is Usher. Dude is back and I agree with Skeet Skeet that this song is gonna be HUGE. Jeezy on the track, Polow on the beat Usher's back.

Put me in Coach!

I am going back and forth with this trade... Shaq for 'The Matrix' & Marcus Banks??
First response was hell no, Shaq is washed up. But then it got me thinkin.. Is Shaq finished with hoop or is he just not motivated anymore in Miami? This trade is gonna spark the big fella.. and cause trouble in the West!! D'Antoni doesn't even trip on practice.. 30 min at max-(This is straight from a suns players mouth)This could be a great move for both teams.. Shaq can rest until playoffs then come in and give people fits. 20/10 easy.. Thats the only thing suns have been missing these past 2-3 years.. No big man. The Championship could be headed to the Valley of the Sun real soon!
Also, It's a great move for Miami, Marcus Banks is a sleeping monster who can flat out play.. D'Antoni has been keepin him on the bench and playin Steve way to much.. another reason why Suns never win come playoff time.. to many minutes logged in the regular season.. Should of been gave Marcus more tick.. but mark my words.. Banks will blow up in Miami.. And Shawn is gonna do what he does every night... get fast break dunks, shoot ugly jumpers, and play poker after the game(who cares)... So after all this goes does... Phx > Miami

The greatest Bill Walton sound bite ever- From the Valley of the Sun

Does it get any better than this??

Super Bowl Weekend Part 2

This old dude was hustlin all night

Super Bowl Weekend Part 1

Super Bowl Weekend was sick. Caught Snoop and The Dogg Pound also headed over to the TPC for the FBR. Went to a NFL Hall of Fame players party which was ill. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Thank You to Timmy, Cassandra and The Naza family for making my weekend. Highlights were when some fans were talkin shit to Andre Reed in the men's bathroom. Also Mike Ditka looked mad the entire night. And another shout out to Sean Salisbury of ESPN fame. I got to talk to him and he was one of the coolest cats I've ever met.

..I just crush alot!

Wyclef Superbowl weekend @ the 944 party. Takin shots at Curtis, and bring up 30 naughty girls on stage.. That's how we get down in Phx!!

This is what I missed- and it's only the half of it..

The Only Black Kid At FBR

Haha @ the title of this post, but not really. First off lemme say Super Bowl weekend has been CRACK so far. Saw Snoop and The Dogg Pound last night in Scottsdale. Now we have super VIP passes to the FBR thanks to the Korean Puff Daddy. Ive never been to a golf tournament in my life and Ive heard nothing but good things about this. Pics from the weekend will be up after I recover. Yeeeeeee!!!

..Nah I use Philly Blunt...

Might be my favorite song of all time.... It's easy Top 5

You Aint Start Out From Your Trunk, Then Reach the Roof...

...Just to put the roof in the trunk

Turns out Hov wasnt lying, Last year he became the highest earner in hip-hop. He made a big jump from the sale of Rocawear. Check out the link(http://panachereport.com/channels/coverstories/jennifer.htm), Its crazy how much money these dudes make, and the majority of the money doesn't come from rapping. I knew Jigga was doing it big, but I never knew how big.

..I got my swagger back..

Check the article about your boy in the Japan Times.. I'm global people...
