Danica Patrick finished in 4th place at the Indy 500

I think it's a Great accomplishment.she was reall deep into the race.all week there was alot of hype about only the 4th Woman ever to compete in this Event.Indy 500 needed Her to do really well because NasCar has the Car Racing Sport on lock.She really stayed focused&did Her thing.Indy 500 use to be a big time event,but its been past over the years.but this will truly boost it again&also I expect Great things in the future for Danica Patrick.Congradulations to Her on History making Journey as a Race Car Driver.

Paris Hilton's new Ad' for Carl's Burgers

Paris Hilton is doing ad's for Carl's Burgers&this ain't your usual Burger ad. I have no problem with the Ad's& but Paris is using sponges&whatnot but what does it have to do with a Burger Ad?? but Paris sells Product&she looks good in the commerical. this Ad might not catch as much heat if it wasn't for the Janet Jackson/Justin Timberlake Super Bowl half-time show. so this Commerical is Hot&Steamy but would you ever Expect Paris Hilton to be conservative? she is just doing what she does best&that is flaunt what she has because she don't have any real talent or skills so She knows how to keep you watching.this Commerical will do some Booming Business for Carl's Burgers.

vincente foxx president of mexico&His take on black americans

interesting that the president of Mexico would say that there are jobs that Black folks in America won't take.now I feel that President Foxx was loaded with his statements from the fact he is in another country.now if you allow the Media in the united states show black people then everything is from Hollywood. all you see is the Entertainment aspect with Bling,Cars,Cash,Cribs,etc..... but what the President of Mexico fails to understand is that Black people do all kinds of work everyday. Black people aren't the largest group on Wellfare,aren't the largest group to get Affirmative-Action,&other things.but the Media at large enjoys Portraying the Hollywood side of life as to having a balance. i think the false lifestyle that is Protrayed in Videos,Movies&other forms of Entertainment only show what some folks reach,but doesn't speak for all. indeed that is the problem when you say all because what President foxx failed to see is that the Black Middle Class is very strong with many folks of all backgrounds doing well. but again what the Media feeds as Black Life is what goes out&that is a Dangerous image to shake. there is some truth in what was stated,but at the same time how can someone from another Country relate&know what is going on in here?

Can you relate to the Star Wars Crowd??

Star Wars the Film has always captured the Imagination of many,but especially in the United states.Star Wars is treated like a Music Concert with Die-hard Star Wars Fans all lined up&waiting to get tickets&outfits from the Movie.the movie has made 158 Million since just last Thrusday&with Memorial Day Weekend coming up later this week expect another big Boom for Star Wars.I've always dug Star Wars,but never got into all the Hype&the Die-Hard element of it.it's one thing to get up early for work or something important,but a Movie I can wait my turn.it's funny because the Magazines that I Subscribe to have Star Wars figures all over the Covers&whatnot.it's something you get use to seeing even if you aren't a fan of it&then you know the Star Trek Fans will get there chance to come back&then?????? stay tuned.

the NBA Final Four

well in the east it's the miami Heat versus the Detriot Pistons&Out west it's San Antono versus Phoenix.finally the four best teams get it on at long last. I'm pulling for the Miami Heat to win it all&I want Shaq to be back where He belongs at the top of the NBA Mountain where He Belongs. this Post-Season has been good but something has been missing&I think that is because the Los Angeless Lakers weren't there&we know that Between the Owner Jerry Buss,Mitch Kupchek&Kobe Bryant the truth&real reason lies. but anyway this Post-season could be all we see if the Owners&Players Union don't come to a Agreement anytime soon. so this could be the last Hoop we see for a good minute. but anyway this final four is gonna be good. the Power&Rawness of the Miami Heat lead by Shaq&D-Wade&the Return of Alonzo Mourning versus the Stingy Defense&grit of the World Champion Pistons. out west the Smooth&operatic Machine known as the spurs lead by Tim Duncan versus the Super fast&unstoppable Suns lead by League MVp Steve Nash.something has got to give.I pick the Heat&Spurs in the Finals with the Heat winning it all.stay tunned.

the Nba on the verge of a another Lockout

hearing that the NBA might have another lock out doesn't surprise me.it all comes down to control.I feel that there is a Control factor at work here as well.Contracts are all over the place.the NBA has been Pushing the Player as to Pushing the team Concept&it has taken a beaten to me.the last strike affected the league&It's only been 6 years since that last strike&we saw that folks kinda stayed away for a minute from the League.i wish the NBA Comiss David Stern would stop trying to push a Age limit.if a cat can play then let him.the salary Cap is crazy as well.everybody wants a Team they Love&Hate always in the mix period. nobody wants to see two boring teams in the Finals.nobody wants to see what has happen to Hockey happen with the NBA.

Beauty of Grass

the smoothness&texture that is Grass is so clear as we roam across a area we ponder all the many Animals,Humans&everything else in between that touches down on this surface which despite what touches down upon it we can never fully respect it's layers&what it encounters through four seasons so be it through camping or just lying there many thoughts run through a Mind you can touch&feel the scent oh chilling in the Grass truly touches the simple pleasures&Joys in life

Former NBA Player Rex Chapman talking Racism in College

Rex Chapman a Former Guard in the NBA was talking about His time in College 20 plus years back of how Kentucky University head folks told Him to avoid dating a Black woman. Kentucky had a history of Racial Injustices from within&now hearing this story really just makes you wonder what else is due to come out?basically it's like this:make us some money but don't get too friendly&don't do this.even though are more Interracial couples dating in 2005 we still have a long way to go on both College campus's&also in the rest of the World.everyday personally nothing surprises me when it comes to Race in the United States.you just come to expect hearing this.but Rex Chapman who is a white man really got my attention because you hardly ever hear it being mentioned as such.

anybody scared to go to Restaurants now?

bad enough the Finger Scam&now a Man who actually found a Finger in His food&He won't give it back.it's scary what you might find in your food&Bad enough when some folks are holding evidence for there personal gain.I had often heard horror stories about some places,but like most folks I shrug it off,but what happens when you start hearing storys be it true or not? the thought does linger on your mind&you start looking at a particular place of Business a bit different after a Scandal or Controversy that comes down.but we always tow the line of what will forgive&forget&what we won't.but while it's common for some people to fake injurys or fake accidents why would you pretend to see fingers&things in food? that is truly scary&since most people do like Eating Out it really hits a Alarm button.

Tiger Woods missed the cut&he is Human

Tiger woods made a 142 consecitive Cuts in His Pro golf Career which is His own record&I doubt it will ever be broken.Tiger has had only 15 times during the run where he hadn't made the cut prior to this one on Friday.it speaks volumes of How great&focused He is as a Athlete. Tiger Woods has 9 Majors all before reaching 30&He ain't even reached His Peak.Numbers are something that are vauled in the United states,but I also like to think that being able to accomplish this feat&Being driven speaks so much.Tiger will easily start up another one.Greatness is special&should never be taking for granted because there are many Great talents,but only a few people reach a level that truly seperates them from all others with there gift.some things get taken for granted.

The Whizzinator

talk about having heard it all? Onterrio Smith the Running Back for the Minnisota Vikings who has two previous League suspensions for violating the substance rules got busted at a Airport recently for trying to pass through the Airport with a Device that you use to do your business in&also a Kit that cleans out your system.it's funny hearing it mentioned but you gotta wonder how many other folks have done this without anything else going down?alot of running jokes have been made about the Whizzinator&I expect more laughs to keep on coming. the Vikings didn't need any more drama this Off season after parting with All-Pro wide-reciever Randy Moss.who knows what will happen with Onterrio Smith but nobody will soon forget this.

when a Cell Phone comes in handy

so many times people have there cell Phones come off anywhere&it's alot of show as to being important,but there are always exceptions such as the case with 17 year Old Kevin francois who got a call from his Mother SG 1st Class Monique Bates. Francois was told to shut his phone off&if He didn't he faced a 10 day suspension.when the school found out the Young Man was talking to His Mother who is on a one year tour of duty in Iraq.glad to hear a Cel Phone story where it truly is used for importance because alot of the time cell Phones are used as a Prop,but this time there was a very important story.glad to hear that everything worked itself out.

John Rocker:the Archie Bunker of Baseball

funny how John Rocker already tried to Offend people years ago with all his thoughts&Now He really has topped himself by saying that His Life is tougher as a Baseball Player than Jackie Robinson&Hank Aaron??? Jackie Robinson was baseball's first Black Player in the Majors&Hank Aaron was dealing with constant Hate Ball because He was on the verge of Breaking Babe Ruth's Home Run Record. John Rocker just finds more ways to further place His foot down His own throat.I give Rocker credit for maintaining his standards of Offending folks with His remarks that don't carry any legit weight.I wonder what He will say next if He can't make the Majors? maybe He will say the Big Leagues will hold His return back much like what Nelson Mandela went through? sounds crazy but I wouldn't put anything past Rocker.

Barry Bonds being treated like Al Capone??

Barry Bonds can't ever get any justice as it is&now it's bad enough Baseball is targeting Him for Steriods without actual Proof&now you have the MLB looking into a Tax Evasion on Barry Bonds.talk about a Witchhunt?? He is to Me the Greatest Baseball Player that I have seen&I think they should leave Him alone,but they just won't let up. it's funny how Baseball wants to Police everything now.I can't wait until Barry Bonds takes the field again.if you are talking about any One Athlete that can deal with Pressure then it is Barry Bonds.

NFL Coach wants to wear a Suit what's the problem?

if you remember seeing Tom Landry wearing his trademark Hat&Suit you knew that was His style&you couldn't imagine him without His trademark Hat. Mike Nolan the new coach of the San francisco 49ers was trying to pay His Father a Tribute. the NFL won't allow any Caoch to wear anything but NFL Licensed Gear. I feel you should have the freedom of choice&also who would think someone would put up a stink about a Man wearing a Suit on a Sunday?? different era&different time before the League got so Corperate.

Mother's day Poem

the power of the Mother who brings life intot he world&Craddles the baby how do you see the world through Mommy's eyes? how do you smell,taste,touch&feel the pressence around you? so as you remember the start,middle&the thereafter how does it feel to reflect on the beauty of Life&what takes you through the days,nights,minutes,seconds&Hours??? so it all adds up over time&a lesson is learned&respected through what a Mother does for your Mind&Soul given the light&given an Education of how to deal with Life through times of good,bad&Ugly but no matter what the Journey that spirit of your mother is a Lifetime reminder of how you came to be

Shaq should be the league MVP of the NBA

i gotta wonder what is the Problem with those writers&Media folks who pick the MVP&Only have given Shaquille O'Neal just 1 MVP in His Great Career?? I mean Shaq is the Greatest Player of His time&to me Ever period. what does it take for a Player who has been to 5 finals&Has won 3 in a row&also won 3 straight Finals MVPs as well.He helped the Miami Heat to the Best record in the eastern conference after the Los Angeless Lakers traded him last summer.i Respect steve Nash,but He got a token award IMO.Shaq is owed about 2-3 awards for the regular Season.it's truly bad on the Nba's part that they haven't acknowledged Shaq more.He has also been robbed of 2-3 All Star MVP's as well.a player like Shaq only comes around every 20-40 years&this is a Shame on the Nba's part.

Cell Phones: they sure have changed

I remember 10 years back when operating a Cell Phone was a very complex matter.nowadays a Cell Phone has Computer games,has voice message,internet hook up,&Ring tunes. I mean it's become the Phone version of the Microwave. everything is so compact&easy to get to. there will be a time when a Micro chip probably will do all of out thoughts&what we want.you have the picture phones as well. the deals are far better nowadays as well.everything nowadays.i've seen alot of technilogy growth over the past 20 plus years&just am Amazed at how creative&simpler that life has gotten thanks to Modern technilogy.

David Stern muscling his way again

add Jeff Van Gundy to the list of people feeling the force of the NBA Commis&Known Don Corleone of the NBA David Stern. Stern hit Van Gundy with a 100,000 dollar fine for his comments on how the refs are calling fouls against Yao Ming.a unknown source who is a ref told Van Gundy that the league was targeting Yao. the funny thing is that Mark Cuban the owner of the Dallas Mavericks sent tapes into Stern's office complaining about how Yao was moving on the court.Cuban use to always be in Stern's Doughouse. but for David Stern to tell Van Gundy to watch what he says&go as far to say that Van Gundy could lose a Job¬ be allowed to coach is scary. personally while the NBA had more growth during Stern's Presidency as the Main Man,it's also cost the game.it's been all about the Man as to the team.stern always has to put his stamp on everything&He has become a pain on the game.He is trying to add a Age limit to the game which is wrong to me.all that power has gone to his head.

Baseball Coach is fired over Racist remarks

Larry Cochell was the Oklahoma college men's baseball coach until last friday when it was reported He called One of His Outfielder's the "N" Word. now I'm not surprised at all. folks think just because it's 2005 that racist language&things don't still go on especially in sports,but I bet cash money that this ain't the first time this cat slipped up&said the word.I bet if this was 1975 nobody would even say a thing to him&laugh it off. if this was 1985 same thing. 1995 I doubt much would have been made. the pattern of acceptence of saying things like this from a authority figure is the norm on so many fronts.the College made him quit His job,but they need to try&solve the Problem as to distancing themselves from him.you have to find out why this is said? sadly this won't be the last time a Manager from a College,High school or a Pro team blurts it out.

oh the yearly blockbuster films are on the way. get ready for the over the top big budget films. it's gonna be interesting which film is gonna have fans waiting in long lines&camping out for tickets. that is one thing that hasn't changed despite technilogy: if a film has even a slight bit of hype then folks will be linned up to catch it. action films are always where the money is&this Summer is no different at what is forthcoming.evewn while tickets,popcorn&Pop at a Movie theater is starting to be almost as expensive as going to a Baseball game it doesn't keep folks away.the Ultimate weekend hype.it should be a interesting time at tbe box office this year.
