You will soon be mine. With my black and red corded earphones were gonna look sick.
I wanted the classic iPod with like 1000GB but I only have about 29GB so a 16GB iPod with 16 of my fav. songs is perfectly adequate.

Celebrity Infatuations

2010-02-25T08:00:00.000-08:00

It first starts off with a cameo in a movie, a glimpse of something awesome, and Beautiful. You find yourself on Google searching for pictures of them. You look for wallpapers to make them your screen saver. You might involuntarily see movies with them in it, at first you think its just a coincidence, but you know its not. You tell your self your not crazy lol for putting so much effort in seeing everything this person's in. We've all done this at one point or another, there's just different degrees in ways we go about it. Some send them letters and let it be known there crazy. Others just think there awesome and don't plan weddings, or speak about them like they speak to them in a daily basis.

Personalities of the person helps in forming a crush. For the most part there usually characteristics and things your attracted to. There Role's they portray are something you find cool and attractive. Because for the most part actors pick there roles on something they feel comfortable playing, so in a sense its a alter ego if you will. You'd like to think they pick roles based on the fact that they could identify with it. It's only natural to think that famous people you like are a reflection of what you find attractive in a companion. Some have outrageous and unrealistic terms of what they think is normal in women. You can't think every women is like Adriana Lima its unrealistic to think that way. Sometimes a Womens beauty is more overwhelming than her physical attributes.

I've had some celeb "crushes" were I thought they were hot and attractive but I've never thought they'd be a cool person to hang out with. That was until I saw Elf, Zooey Deschanel is both attractive and cool. She seems like a interesting person, were you'd have a cool time with. It hit me when I saw 500 days of Summer which I suggested to see onDemand. This is when I noticed that I liked her enough to see movies that normally I wouldn't see but would if she was in it. In comparison to those fans who love Johnny Depp, I'm still a Rookie but I've seen a good amount of movies she's been in, unknowingly of course. Zooey D is awesome. =]

Last 5min of the Day

2010-02-24T08:00:00.000-08:00

Have you ever noticed that before you go to sleep and while you lay there in the dark your mind takes you to a mysterious state of mind? Not in a insane asylum type of way but in a way that makes you discover things about yourself you might not know. Or think about things that you really didn't suggest. I've noticed that happening to me a lot before I go to sleep. I find my self thinking of the past a lot, like certain situations. I think about I'f I would of been more outspoken(a little scary, my mouth gets me into a lot of trouble) I could of told my football coach he was a douche who like players kissing his ass. And maybe asked him why he had it in for me? Or more personal things like following my gut and not wasting time on people who I'd forget about.

I find it really revealing, something about your mind going to a time or thought before you fall asleep that is some importance to you is pretty cool. You work or have class all day not really deep thought subjects pass your mind when you have your boss on your ass because you need to get something done. My favorite being taking notes threw the worst lecture in your life, for a class you took only for credits.

I always look forward to the last 5min of my day because its exciting to think were are my thoughts gonna take me tonight. Sounds weird but its like screening for your Dream to come. No one knows were your Dreams gonna take you, for the most part there stories conjured up by ones mind. More time's than not I forget my dream, unless I wake up in the middle of something GOOD. But I always keep my mind open to what ever path it takes me to. We'll not every path, Don't wanna be selling my self in West Hollywood. Don't shy away from your thoughts they could be revealing and interesting.
Have a Great day.

MY road to a GREAT holiday.

2009-12-30T23:05:00.000-08:00

For me a Great Holiday experience I need my family, first of all. Then you need a relaxed atmosphere. No one wants to be all stuffy and uncomfortable. My family is great because we crack jokes and just have a good time. I love when my family gets together and just acts Cuban and tell stories and all talk at the same time. But in a weird strange way we know what we talking about. Yea stress comes a long with family and the holidays, but the memories make it all worthwhile. My holiday was great, and yes it was filled with stress and headaches. And that's not even talking about the great Food. Like Yucca, Lechon, Black beans and Rice, maduros, and my sisters wonderful baked goods who can make Martha Stuart look like a scrub. Pull all niter's, drink dark coffee, talk all night, and have a million side conversations. That's all my favorite parts from my families Holidays. I know it's a little late. But for me we still in Christmas mode until January 6. Reyes magos. My parents celebrated Los Reyes Magos like us americans celebrate Christmas. Til next time, peace.

P.S. Converse All-stars kick ass. and so does my boy Mendenhall. Go Steelers.

Reflection internal

2009-12-11T22:30:00.000-08:00

To the Few who do read the lame attempts that I call blog entry's I apologize for not writing as much as I used to. I've been intoxicated with my new PS3. A lot of all niter's playing madden online.I definitely Need to get a few more games so that when I'm getting murked I have another game to play so I don't lose my sanity.

With that out the way, lets move one real quick. I've been thinking what was the purpose of my blog? like is there something I'm trying to express to the casual reader passing by the blogosphere. I knew the stuff I was writing wasn't what I was trying to express or say, but to be honest a year ago I really didn't know. I still don't, but I thought it was cool and wanted to try it out. I really enjoy making a headers each time I upgrade it its up another level. I think is it to show my little hobbies like me messing around on photoshop and illustrator? or might it be the things I think of when I'm alone to plan and dissect words from a song or from a "friend" lol. I'm not really sure to be honest. I'm just making a mental note to make my post full of something honorable and full of something meaningful, at least to myself.

I might write a little series of my thought's as a young man growing up trying to find his way in this huge world we call home. And the troubles of having dirty sneakers lol. I like the sound of that.. yea that sounds like a plan. More info to come. Off to the trusty sidekick note's section and write stuff down for future post!

one love...

Ticket for one, Tokyo Japan

2009-11-15T22:09:00.000-08:00

So ever since I herd Gold Watch by Lupe. I've wanted a Head Porter wallet. Not just for the reason that Lupe thinks there cool, but because I do. I'm looking for a new wallet tired of the one I have its old and all beat up. I was listening to Gold Watch and I searched Head Porter wallet because it sounded cool. I loved the stuff they had, looked real nice.

So here am I thinking, I could find a store in LA since its one of the biggest cities in the US and usually have a lot of the brands. But I search and no there isn't a Head Porter in LA, but Indianapolis and Utah have one. Not trying to bash on them but those places over LA? That was upsetting but when I go to the website and find there isn't the wallet I liked when I checked again later.

So If I want to get the wallet, I would need to get go to Japan. I don't even have a passport. I guess I need to get on that If I want that wallet but I gotta spend money to get a wallet to hold my money, and that's not even counting the price of the wallet. It bugs me that It needs to be that difficult to buy a wallet. I know the Brand is based out of Japan, but come on, expand a bit will ya. This makes me sad.

Joey Porter is the MAN!!!

2009-11-06T08:03:00.000-08:00

"It just goes back, back when I was in Pittsburgh, just never really too much cared for New England, and I really still don't care for New England. And the hate's been there for a while, especially after all the cheating they did back in the day. I cannot honestly say that I agreed with it, but it happened, and it's over with now. So the hate comes from way back then.

"They can sweep it under the rug if they want to, but just like anybody else that do something (and are) caught by cheating, you put an asterisk by it."

I love it. Just because the Media and everyone want's to forget they cheated to get there 3 championships Doesn't mean the Players Forget!!! The steelers won 2 with out cheating. They need an * on everything they did. but It's the beloved Tom Brady so they just look past it. I love that Joey is speaking the truth.

Thoughts in Silence

2009-11-05T09:13:00.000-08:00

For reasons unknown There's this feeling I get when I can't fall asleep, like when I'm an owl on a tree scoping out the night in a ninja like matter(lol) that I think "why are humans on earth?" What is the purpose of our life's? Like in all seriousness that's something I've been longing to know since I was 11. Its just weird when I'm all alone in my mind I think why are we here. I'm not really thinking of it as a Religion based Question, but what is our purpose besides "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground." Is there anything else?(shrugs)I need to read to find this one out. just something I think of a lot when I'm super bored or can't sleep. I guess you just gotta keep living your life until bam it hits you, doubt it will but its all good. Off to ponder about some more random topics..Random is infectious. have a Peaceful day.

I Love to sleep right. It's my way of not being productive in a relaxing matter and I enjoy it, that and being a smart ass and being argumentative. I might seem like a jerk at times to the untrained eye, but its part of who I am. lol Anyways(nacho libre voice) When I'm "sleeping in" it usually doesn't last long because my inner boss kicks me in the balls and tells me to be productive. He's @ work all day, its a daily struggle to keep my drive on full throttle. My Job These days is to stay sain and find I wanna do for the rest of my life. Try keeping friends close even thought times passing like a Taxi in NY. I guess my attitude towards that is if there real friends we will stay friends if not, life goes on. Every day I'm searching my brain for the filing cabinet titled "Future". Until that time comes I'll be trying to make my own. To the people who read my cool blog that no one follows(lol) I'm back from my hiatus, I'm back on the grid. PEACE!!!

Bluprints of a MAN

2009-08-01T03:01:00.000-07:00

There's not a day that goes by that your absence isn't felt. there isn't a day I don't think of you. when I open up the refrigerator and see the Jam, We always think of the spoon next. When I think of baseball Your who I think of. There's not a day I see rubber band and don't think of you. Violets were my doorway to your soul. It hurts that I don't remember you voice.

You were the blueprint of what a man should be. Loving, A father, Respected, wise, and strict all in the same time. I will never forget this blueprint, my father has a carbon copy with him. You were like his second father. I know your up there with the Father talking baseball and making jokes. If I am half the man you were I will be truly blessed. Say hi To my Grandpa for me, I would of loved to had a relationship with him. Like I had with you. R.I.P.

Gracias para todo el amor que tu me dio. Te quierro mucho abuelito.

Listening to I can't Help it-The Roots
F_ckin love this song.

"I never said I'm ready to die, but I accept it
Never said I'm ready for war, but I'm protected
I don't even know when it's comin', but I expect it
Lost all semblance of hope, so now I'm left with
Nervous conditions, addictions, in addition
to vixens that mixed in with the wrong crowd
My life is on a flight that's goin' down
My mother had an abortion for the wrong child
With the time I felt love, that's gone now
Been replaced by purple rains and some storm clouds
Misery love misery
So why make friends? Let's make some enemies
And now I got a habit that wasn't meant for me
Now I'm in a marriage that wasn't meant to be
One more reason to change identity
The cars, the crime, K's, penalties"

Damn this verse is FIRE

Please wake me when I'm free
I cannot bear captivity
Where my culture I'm told holds no significance
I'll wither and die in ignorance
But my inner eye can c a race
Who reigned as kings in another place
the green of trees were rich and full
and every man spoke of beautiful
men and women together as equals
war was gone because all was peaceful
but not like a nightmare I wake 2 c
That I live like a prisoner of proverty
Please wake me when I'm free
I cannot bear captivity
4 I would rather be stricken blind
than 2 live without expression of mind

Was a chill day(not the temperature just the mood of the day)....Loving that In Rainbows album, Wish I got it back in 07. Some of my fav. songs have like 4 plays or 1. But that isn't because I don't like it or listen to it, I'm just an impatient listener..NAY I'm just always changing my mind of what I wanna listen to, or the songs almost done so I just change it...BTW is it me or 07 seem sooooo far away. It seems like it was 07 yesturday. Just a thought.

Lately I've been listening to a lot of LUPE THE GENIUS and when I listen to other Hip-hop artist it falls short..LUPE IS MY SECOND NAS!!! aka my boi. That dude who I would listen to none stop, defend to the death(not that far, but it sounds hardcore). I grew up(middle school days) on NAS. And now I'm Growing up on LUPE(Adult life).

On my laptop listening to some sick ass raps, 91 DEMO tape by NaS to be exact. I got the window open and the blinds open its a hot one in CALI. Everyone seems to be asleep, all I can hear it that smooth jazzy beats in my Ear Phones The big ones telemundo status. So I'm staring @ the dark night in front of me and I'm thinking is there anyone out there looking? idk I'm super bored and not in the mood to play XBOX. To hot to turn the lights on, we'll for me. It's a random one ya'll. When I'm in a serious Rap listening mood I put on a NEW ERA and zone out NAS style from GOD SON. Talkin to my GIRL(not a wifey just a cool ass person).

From cool guys with beanies on when its 100 degrees, guys that think they have game when they just look like a Tool, grown women playing with Nintendo DS, people overly laughing during the movie, people crying on the sad parts(really??), clapping before the movie is over, and people counting down for the movie to start. It was a bit much. Loved the cool guy in front of me with the johncletas lol.

FUCK CHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2009-07-02T00:22:00.000-07:00

So today I was looking at a few websites I like checking out. I was on Hypebeast.com looking post from there site. I was going back to previous post from the days past and I see a Che Hat. Like really? what's next a Hat of Hitler? People like to think He did so many great things For Cuba. Really take a look @ Cuba. Do they look like there thriving? nope. He helped get Fidel Castro into office Threw the revolution. And last time I checked He isn't a great person. Don't get it twisted like just because movie stars who didn't even graduate high school make comments about it like its not that bad its great. Yea its great because they show you what they want you to see, like what china does. Its always easier looking @ a situation from a lighthouse. Che is a Person I never liked obviously because he's a disgrace of a human and the pain that his actions caused to Cubans. But I never understood why people look @ him like an Icon, and such a powerful person. Making T-shirts with his face on it, artist making references to him in there songs like he's great, people getting caught into the whole fake idea that che was someone great. Lets break it down.

Batista, Cuba's previous Leader before Castro was no prize but he had the economy booming and from what I've read it was the highest per capital amongst all Hispanic countries. But The people in cuba weren't to happy with him. The people of Cuba thought the things Castro was saying were good. But when the Ball started rolling and was kinda to stop because he had to many people behind him at this time he flipped the switch. on Feb 1st 1960 he had an interview with some journalist Arminio Savioli from the Communist newspaper L'Unita (from Italy), Castro is asked about his opinion of Cuba's Communist Party. Castro replies: "It is the only Cuban party that has always clearly proclaimed the necessity for radical change of structure, of social relationships.....we continue to work together. Loyally and fraternally." then on May. 8th he disassociates himself from prevailing "Communist ideas." in a huge speech. At this point people who didn't agree with what he was saying couldn't do much people his men were all over making sure you didn't say anything against Cuba's 19th president because you will be executed. My grandfather had to lie and pretend he was behind everything Fidel was saying to protect his Family. Keep in mind that anyone who is a treat to them in anyway they murder on the spot. from bakers who didn't believe in what they were "preaching" to officers.

In March 1962 Food rationing began. In October 3rd of 1964 The new Communist Party of Cuba is inaugurated and on October 10th hundreds oh Cuban's begin to leave the island. Some who had duel Cuban and Spain citizenship went to Spain, other Cuban-Jews went to Israel, and the Rest went to the U.S. Cuba was worse off from when Batista was in office plus there was this false presence of change when Castro started in the Revolution but when he names The Communist Party to be the direction the Country will be heading into. And Who was a part of this whole "revolution" Mr. Douche himself Che. He was the damn Comandante. He reviewed The cases to all the "war criminals" and pretty much killed them all by firing squad. He was a Major part of all the pain The regime of Fidel Castro Caused to millions of Cubans and To try to make it seem like he was a Cuban Leader. He was a Douche bag from Argentina who was a murderer. Look @ people like Jose Marti who was a Cuban National hero. He was a Poet, a writer, and a nationalist leader, also Considered one the great turn-of-the-century Latin American intellectuals. Look at people Like Jose Julian Marti Perez if you want to think of great Cuban Leaders. Don't look at a piece of shit human who isn't even Cuban.

2009-06-29T22:11:00.000-07:00

Welcome back to the great state of Michigan for this year’s Final Four! In honor of the occasion let’s take a look back at the squad from Michigan that changed the face of college basketball, altered our view of “cool” and, arguably, paved the way for the SLAM generation (sorry, AI). Juwan, Chris, Jalen, Ray, and Jimmy, this one’s for you. While some disappointed on the pro level and Juwan is the only one still in playing in the Association, we’ll never forget all of your contributions. Thanks for making us possible…SLAM #51. —Tzvi Twersky

“The Fab Five was once in a lifetime! What they achieved will never, ever happen again.”

The familiar voice of Dick Vitale’s booms through the phone line, scratchy and emphatic. He may be a bit less frenzied off the air, but Vitale can’t contain his excitement when the subject turns to the Fab Five, the heralded freshmen who drove Michigan to consecutive title games in ’92 and ’93. “This story deserves special acclaim,” Vitale says. “I can’t tell you how many times I hear coaches say, ‘We can’t win because we have two freshmen in our rotation.’ It’s absolutely accepted wisdom and the Fab Five turned it on its head. I think what they did is absolutely unique in the history of basketball and doesn’t get the play it deserves.”

Vitale’s statement is accurate but stunning nonetheless. How could the Fab Five be underrated when, despite never winning a league or national championship, they still managed to change the face of college ball? The concept would have been unfathomable nine years ago when Chris Webber, Jalen Rose, Juwan Howard, Ray Jackson and Jimmy King were garnering countless headlines and being covered in a manner more MTV than ESPN.

“They were greeted like rock stars,” recalls Rob Pelinka, a role player on those teams and now an agent whose clients include Jazz rookie DeShawn Stevenson. “We sometimes needed police escorts because our bus would be surrounded by people.”

And just like every new sensation from Elvis to Eminem, there was serious debate about whether the Fab Five represented something creative and wonderful or arrogant and destructive. Their brash confidence, in-your-face trash talking and hip-hop fashion sense were both embraced and attacked like no college sports team before or since. The debate continues to this day, especially in Ann Arbor, where the basketball team struggles along under a cloud of impropriety that dates back to the Fabs’ recruitment. But one thing is beyond debate: the Fab Five represented something entirely new, an entire class of blue chip recruits covering every position, each of whom lived up to their top billing.

Power forward Webber was Michigan’s Mr. Basketball and the nation’s top recruit. Howard, a 6-9 center, and the 6-5 shooting guard King were the top players in Illinois and Texas, respectively, and Rose was a 6-8 pg who had led Detroit’s Southwestern High to two state titles. Jackson was the only one of the five who wasn’t a McDonald’s All-American, but the 6-6 Texan was one of the nation’s top small forward prospects. And while serendipity and coach Steve Fisher’s intense leg work certainly played huge roles in landing such an esteemed class, the Fab Five also recruited themselves.

“Juwan is responsible for the whole thing,” says Webber today. “Jalen and I had talked about going to school together since we were 12, but Juwan is the one who got it going. He made us believe that we could create something great together.”

Explains Howard, “I started a chain reaction. Jimmy and I met on our visit and decided to go to Michigan. Then I called Chris, because we had become good friends through the All-Star games, and started working on him. I persuaded him and he got a hold of Jalen, which is exactly what I wanted. I was looking to win a national title or two, instead of just going somewhere and being assured of being the man.”

It didn’t take long for the dreams to come to fruition; all five recall that the chemistry was immediate. “The day we all met, we played a pickup game outside our dorm and it was just there,” says Webber.

Nonetheless, it takes a huge leap for a memorable pickup squad to become NCAA title contenders. Most great college teams result from a slow blending of talents, with experience trumping nearly everything else. The Fab Five turned that formula on its head. Juniors Pelinka, James Voskuil, Michael Talley and Eric Riley were key contributors, but clearly support players to the five freshmen, a seemingly impossible situation deftly managed by Fisher and his staff.

“It takes freshmen a while to grasp the college game,” says Randy Ayers, a current Sixers assistant who was the head man at Ohio State at the time. “A high school star has an adjustment period learning to accept sacrificing for the good of the team. That almost always takes a year or two, but the Fab Five found their niches immediately. Chris, Jalen and Juwan were the go-to guys and the Texas kids were the defenders. And they played off each other beautifully.”

Adds Vitale, “These guys truly enjoyed each other’s company and responded as a unit, with the emphasis on the team rather than individual stats. They were a very unselfish team that blended extremely well.”

And, the players all say, they made each other better on a daily basis, filling one another with their trademark confidence. “As a group, we always felt invincible,” says Webber. “Individually, you always have fear and doubt, but we never did as a team. I felt that together we could accomplish anything.”

While the Fab Five’s critics accused them of showboating—“too much with the French pastry and the hot-dogging!” proclaimed broadcaster Al McGuire—the fact is, they played solid, team-oriented ball. If you watch their games today—easy to do, thanks to ESPN Classic—you’ll see a confident unit playing great help D, running crisp sets and effortlessly improvising whenever necessary.

“We had pretty good game-time execution, which is often overlooked because of some of the players’ flamboyance,” says Jay Smith, then a Michigan assistant, now the coach of Central Michigan University. Indeed, from their very first tip-off, Webber, Rose and King in particular exhibited tremendous flavor to go with their savvy. Webber was a dominant post presence with supple hands and ferocious power. Rose was a cocksure point with maddening lapses but an uncanny knack for coming through in the clutch. And King was a tremendous finisher as well as a deadly three-point shooter and reliable defensive stopper. Howard, meanwhile, was rock solid in the post, making teams pay for collapsing on Webber, and Jackson was a steady hand who often came through with crucial baskets, boards and stops. All five turned in highlight-reel worthy jams on a regular basis.

“There were times when we just played basketball, and it may not have been all that structured, but we often ran the passing game, which is really just fundamental ball: reading each other, setting picks and cutting,” says King, who, like Jackson, is now playing in the IBL. “We were able to do it well because of our knowledge and understanding of the game, and because we practiced it a lot.”

But much of the initial buzz about the Fab Five had little to do with fundamentals—or basketball at all. Gallons of ink were spilled about their flapping shorts, black socks and gleaming bald domes and their constant on-court chatter, as they endlessly jawed at both opponents and each other. If it seems hard to understand why such things would cause a furor, that itself is evidence of the Fab Five’s impact. Watch their games and you’ll see that while the Fab Five’s opponents look dated in their clingy unis, the Michigan youngsters—even now—look contemporary. “They completely changed the fashion of college ball,” says Ayers.

And while some critics blasted Fisher for allowing such freedom, the coach wisely used it as a motivational tool.

“Fish would let us do things like get bigger shorts and wear black socks if we practiced hard,” Webber recalls.He was like, ‘You can wear what you want as long as you work hard, practice right and play smart.’”

The group first came to serious national acclaim in the fifth game of their rookie year, when they took defending champs Duke to overtime before falling 85-81. Most observers considered it a great moral victory, but the Michigan players were incensed they lost a game they could have won. But while the site of Webber and Rose yapping in the faces of Christian Laettner and Bobby Hurley delighted those who found the Dookies arrogant and insufferable, it also ruffled a lot of feathers. Columnists spewed and older Michigan alums stewed. Even refs weren’t beyond getting in on the act, as when Rose got T’d up for smiling.

The Fab Five seemed unbothered by any of it, however, finishing their freshman season 21-8 and ranked 14th in the nation, with a sixth seed in the Big Dance. In a fitting omen, the team ran into Muhammad Ali, the man who invented trash talking, at their Atlanta hotel the night before their first tournament game, against Temple. When The Greatest pulled Howard close and whispered “Shock the world!” in his young ear, The Fab Five had themselves a new rallying cry, which they rode to an Elite Eight battle with Big Ten champion Ohio State. The Jim Jackson-led Buckeyes had beaten Michigan twice already, but things had changed.

“They were a totally different team,” recalls Ayers. “They were physically stronger and they played smarter and with more confidence.”

Different enough to win a thrilling OT game, 75-71, catapulting them to the Final Four, where Nick Van Exel’s Cincinnati squad lay in waiting. After winning a nail-biter, the Fab Five had another date with Duke. Though they seemed unflappable, they came out for introductions lacking their usual fire, with nary a chest bump or holler. But if the rookies were a tad nervous, the reigning kings looked downright spooked. Perennial tourney hero Laettner sleepwalked through the first half, and the Fab Five clawed their way to a one-point lead.

It didn’t last. At the six-minute mark of the second half, the roof caved in and Michigan suddenly couldn’t score or defend. They ended up losing by 20, sending Webber running off the court, his uniform pulled over his sobbing eyes. In the locker room, he and his teammates all pledged to never again feel such crushing disappointment. They were at least sure of one thing: there was always next year.

But the sophomore season wasn’t the same for any of the Fab Five. “The novelty wore off and people no longer seemed to like the confidence and swagger they carried,” says Smith. “It got to the point where you either loved them or hated them.”

And, indeed, many younger fans gave serious love. Though they were widely criticized in the press, baggy shorts, black socks and M logos became as ubiquitous as Nikes on playgrounds and in gyms from coast to coast. And the impact was felt throughout college ball. Opposing coaches began letting their players alter their uniforms, and the Fab Five’s fashion sense already seemed less radical. By the time they faced North Carolina in the ’93 title game, the Tar Heels shorts were even longer than theirs. But that was little consolation to a group of 19-year-olds who felt themselves being tarred and feathered as everything-that’s-wrong-with-sports-and-kids-today.

“It’s a good story to build someone up and it’s a good story to tear them back down,” says King. “I understand that now, but at the time we couldn’t understand how we went from being media darlings to the nation’s bad boys. We didn’t really do anything to warrant that.”

In truth, as sophomores, the Fab Five were sometimes a bit out of control. After a big win at Michigan State, several players pretended they were defecating on the Spartans’ center-court S. And the team talked incessant trash before an early season rematch with Duke, with Webber saying he “wished Laettner would come back from [the NBA] so we can beat him too.” The Cameron Crazies had a field day heckling the team, as Duke pasted them by 11.

Still, the Fab Five righted themselves to go 25-4 and earn a No. 1 seed in the West regional. Now the attacks could really begin. Before the start of the tourney, Bill Walton called the Fab Five “one of the most overrated and underachieving teams of all time…who epitomize a lot of what’s wrong with a lot of basketball players.” It was the most vicious and well-publicized—but certainly not the only—assault on the team.

“We were just playing ball and having fun, and people said, ‘Just play, be quiet and don’t enjoy your wins,” says King. “But we weren’t putting on a show. We were just having fun doing what we love. We weren’t kicking people when they were on the ground like Christian Laettner did. But no matter what happened, teams like Indiana, UNC and Duke got only good press, because their coaches were perceived as being strong and in control, and we got attacked for taking over college basketball because we were perceived as being out of control.”

In the second round, the overrated underachievers pulled off the greatest comeback in Michigan history, coming back from 19 down to beat UCLA in overtime 86-84 on a King putback at the buzzer. After beating George Washington, the only thing standing in the way of a second straight Final Four was Temple, led by Eddie Jones, Aaron McKie and a bunch of less-talented tough guys. Chaney’s big men did everything but gouge out Webber’s and Howard’s eyes. On the verge of defeat, Chaney was finally T’d up for spewing profanities at both Fisher and the refs, had to be restrained by his assistant coaches and finally refused to shake Fisher’s hand—then went to a press conference and blasted the Fab Five for taunting.

“That kind of criticism was really bothersome all year long,” says King. “We just ignored it. In fact, we never even talked about how much less fun the second year was until Chris said it in a Final Four press conference. I remember thinking, ‘So it’s not just me.’”

In the semifinals, Michigan was a seven-point underdog to Jamal Mashburn’s powerful Kentucky team, which had dismantled its tourney opponents by an average of 31 points, thanks to Rick Pitino’s brutal end-to-end pressure. The Fab Five took the Cats into OT, their fourth extra period in eight games, before winning 81-78.It was not only their best-played game in months, but also one of the most memorable Tournament battles in recent years.

Despite all the criticism, pressure and close calls, they’d made it back to their second title game, where they would face UNC. In the first half, the Fab Five were again flat and out of sync, down six at the break. Then Fisher aggressively challenged them in the locker room and Webber lifted the team en route to 23 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks. The team got in trouble when Rose and King lost their shooting touches down the stretch, but Webber seemed fated to be the hero when he grabbed a missed UNC free throw with 20 seconds left and looked upcourt. After getting away with an uncalled traveling violation, he was headed for the history books—for all the wrong reasons.

Carolina led by two. With Rose covered, CWebb headed to the other end of the court, picked up his dribble and panicked. With Pelinka wide open and desperately waving his arms behind the three-point line across court and King staking out position underneath the basket, Webber called timeout. Michigan had none left. A T was whistled, UNC hit the shots and went on to win 77-71.

To a man, the Michigan players will tell you they never considered the possibility of losing that game. So they had to skip doubt and leap right to heartbreak. Again. Before long, Webber would announce he was leaving school for the NBA, and that was that for the Fab Five. They finished their two-year run at 56-14, including two losses in the games that mattered most.

Might Walton have been right? Were they just a bunch of overhyped losers? If you ever ask Vitale that question, be ready to duck.

“It is absolutely absurd for people to criticize the Fab Five as underachievers or failures because they didn’t win a title,” Vitale says. “College ball is not the NBA. It’s one game and there’s a lot of luck involved. Many great teams don’t win titles, but we unfortunately live in a world where if you don’t cut down the nets, you didn’t achieve anything. That’s a ridiculous perspective.”

And no team proved that point more than the Fab Five.

Thanks SLAM

Wish I saw them play. I wasn't watching to much sports around that time. I was playing them and my dad never really watched sports so I didn't watch games with him.

The Video had really great music. I enjoyed watching it. Something to just watch and kinda think! About what? Maybe about how shocking and out of no wear Michael Jackson's death was? RIP. Dude was looking weird post Thriller era. But the guy is an Icon and a Legend. He will be missed by many. I know my English teacher would be a little bit sadder today. I remember messing around in the Library with my sister, our friend(i wonder if were still friends? no one knows. you know how it is after you graduate High school. SHIT HAPPENS comes to mind lol) and our Most legit English teacher my school had to offer and my school had some good one's. Like the smart alack type that likes embarrassing incompetent students. those are always great. But this great English teacher would play music before every class. sometimes it would be some amazing Jazz, Some Michael Jackson(PYT), or pretty much what ever he felt like playing. I knew I was gonna love this teacher since the first day of class. "I might not always get one on one time with everyone in the class, so I start each class by shaking everyone's hand. So I can always see how you are" I might of messed up a few lines or so, but he shaked everyone's had to say hi. That's cool just a personal touch that is always a plus with your teachers. Mr.Lewis you are a Legendary Teacher...
this post was going in a lot of directions. I don't want to correct it really because I would have to change the whole thing about my teacher and I'm not really down for that. I'll just say the quick and easy version of the story aka your moms version (LOL) my teacher would play MJ the singer in the library and would kinda goof off and my friend was dancing to the music and mr.Lewis always made fun of her because of it. just a story that had Michael Jackson in it!! pretty Random and lame yes I know. @ least the few if any who read it can enjoy the Video? I hope lol

Alice in Wonderland is Burton-ized

2009-06-23T03:18:00.000-07:00

hose who have grown curiouser and curiouser about what the offbeat reinventor of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory might conjure up in his version of Alice in Wonderland can feast their eyes on this array of concept art and publicity images, due to hang in movie theaters this week to promote the March 5, 2010, release.

"It has been Burton-ized" is how producer Richard Zanuck describes the director's vision of the Lewis Carroll classic. Many elements are familiar, from the enigmatic Caterpillar (Alan Rickman) to the fierce Jabberwock (Christopher Lee). But none has been presented in this sort of visually surreal fashion.

"We finished shooting in December after only 40 days," Zanuck says. Now the live action is being merged with CG animation and motion-capture creatures, and then transferred into 3-D.

The traditional tale has been freshened with a blast of girl power, courtesy of writer Linda Woolverton (Beauty and the Beast). Alice, 17, attends a party at a Victorian estate only to find she is about to be proposed to in front of hundreds of snooty society types. Off she runs, following a white rabbit into a hole and ending up in Wonderland, a place she visited 10 years before yet doesn't remember.

Among those who welcome her back is the Mad Hatter, a part tailor-made for Johnny Depp as he collaborates with Burton for the seventh time. "This character is off his rocker," Zanuck says.

Aussie actress Mia Wasikowska, 19, best known for HBO's In Treatment, has the coveted title role. "There is something real, honest and sincere about her," Zanuck says. "She's not a typical Hollywood starlet."

There is the usual Burton-esque ghoulishness (Helena Bonham Carter's Red Queen, whose favorite retort is "Off with their heads," has a moat filled with bobbing noggins), but Zanuck assures most kids can handle it. "The book itself is pretty dark," he notes. "This is for little people and people who read it when they were little 50 years ago."

Creator of the Iconic Obama Poster. Creator of All those Obey stickers you might of seen around everywhere pretty much. You see them all threw out the world. I think he's a Dope artist. Cool Ideas, edgy, pushing limits, how art should be in my opinion. I don't agree with everything his paintings are saying. But I can appreciate the Art. I'm coming from a family who came from Cuba. My Grandparent's left when my mom was 4 years old to give there family a better Life. And I'm not one for trashing the Country that blessed my Family With Right of asylum. Yes our country isn't perfect, we gotta remember were a young nation and were still learning. But thinking the Government is corrupt, this and that, Blah blah blah doesn't help. Everyone complains about whats not right, but none of them have solutions to the problem. Not really referring to Mr.Fairey just in general, because I think some of the stuff he's doing is great, making paintings about love and peace rather than violence is always a plus. But in certain situations WAR is necessary. Remember this Great Country was started with WAR. American Revolutionary war. People forget that, I don't know how though. Our country wasn't created in one big explosion lol (like my slight to the big BANG theory)

Funniest thing I read today....

2009-06-20T23:41:00.000-07:00

“When challenged, Wilt could do almost anything he wanted. In 1961 a new star named Walt Bellamy came into the league. Bellamy was 6-foot-10, and was scoring 30 points a game. First time they played against each other, they met at half court. Bellamy said, ‘Hello, Mr. Chamberlain. I’m Walter Bellamy.’ Chamberlain reached for Bellamy’s hand and said, ‘Hello, Walter. You won’t get a shot off in the first half.’ Wilt then blocked Bellamy’s first nine shots. At the start of the second half Wilt said to Bellamy, ‘Okay, Walter. Now you can play.’”

Wilt is the man..Forever will be claimed as a LAKER!! lol

A lot of BS but just gotta look past the Douche bag Asian's trying to cut in line, a line you've been waiting in like 3 hours. Pot heads smoking weed in un real amount's, Ghetto rat's that don't know how to act and tag on a bus because the bus driver's doing her Job and protecting the bus from a Mob of idiot's. Other than all that good stuff, its was so worth the hassle, In hindsight of course. Because @ the moment when the angry Idiot Mob was acting with all the class they have the day wasn't looking so bright. But the calm ride in the taxi to Union Station Downtown was an escape from all the Douche bags we came across all day. lol

So I got really bored yesterday while my brother was making a mess in the living room like he does all the time with his toys. So I got the camera and took a picture of the cars I lined up in order of color. I think the picture looks cool. I was going to think of something to go with the picture but it stopped @ me thinking about it. Forgot about it till right now really. Let's see, its important to know the color wheel chart?

yea lets go with that. lol I remember learning all this stuff during art 1. aka the boring/ no freedom class. Teach you techniques and definitions. The Techniques is Dope, because you need that, and for some reason I missed the day they taught us how to paint with brushes cuz I suck ass lol. But the definitions? come on that's what English class is for. The Exercise I hated the most was pointillism and blind contour drawing. Did them all just wasn't a fan of them.

WE ARE # 1. . .

2009-06-11T13:01:00.000-07:00

Magic. Kareem. The Logo. Kobe. Shaq. When it comes to superstars, the Lakers are so far out in front of everybody else it's not even funny -- their all-time starting five would crush any other team's; in fact, it might be better than that of the rest of the league's put together. So star-studded is their legacy that I left Wilt Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor and George Mikan off my five-man team that opened this paragraph, also neglecting the likes of James Worthy, Bob McAdoo and Gail Goodrich.

And those big names won, too. Although the Celtics have more championships, the Lakers have more of everything else -- wins, playoff wins, playoff series wins and conference titles. About the only thing that hurts L.A. in the all-time rankings is the penalty for relocating from Minnesota to Los Angeles in the 1950s.

The story begins with the Mikan years up north, where he led Minneapolis to five championships in six seasons in the formative years of the NBA. As the league's first dominant big man, he established something of a tradition.

FRANCHISE HISTORY

* Los Angeles Lakers (1960-Present)
* Minneapolis Lakers (1948-60)

Since then, the Lakers have almost always had at least one monstrous big man -- Mikan, Wilt, Kareem, Shaq, Pau Gasol -- and one electrifying perimeter star to go with him (Magic, Jerry West, Baylor, Kobe).

About the only thing the Lakers haven't been able to do is best the Celtics head-to-head. In 11 meetings against Boston in the Finals, L.A. has prevailed just twice -- both coming with Magic and Kareem's teams under Pat Riley in the 1980s. In that regard, Baylor's Minneapolis team got the ball rolling in 1958-59 in the team's last season before heading west, and in the '60s, Chamberlain and West were foiled by the Celtics five times.

Ultimately, those Lakers broke through with a 69-13 season in 1971-72 that featured a 33-game winning streak -- still a record for North American pro team sports -- to win the team's first title in L.A.

After a brief lull in the late '70s, they would get five more rings when Magic arrived to join forces with Kareem. Although there was one more painful loss to Boston interposed -- a seven-game defeat in 1984 -- L.A. avenged it by becoming the first team in nearly two decades to repeat as champs, winning in 1987 and 1988. A hamstring injury to Magic Johnson in the Finals the next year derailed the Lakers' quest for a three-peat, but they would get one a decade and a half later after Phil Jackson came to Tinseltown to guide Shaq and Kobe.

That team provided plenty of last-second excitement -- most notably the alley-oop from Kobe to Shaq that cemented a Game 7 conference finals comeback win over Portland in 2000 -- and produced one of the most dominant playoff runs in history with a 15-1 romp through the field in 2001.

Amazingly, the franchise has missed the playoffs only five times in its 61 years -- for some perspective, the Bobcats have needed just five years to match L.A.'s total. The Lakers are now playing in their sixth Finals in the past decade, and should they win, they'll be only two titles behind the hated Celtics.

talk about a SQUAD huh...that's why so many people hate. lol It's awesome being a Laker fan. Go get that W tonight.

Can't sleep so I'm watching some videos and posting some of my fav. ones. this one made the cut. Vimeo has better videos than youtube. Also it doesn't have the internet Gangsters/ racist/ douche bag/ negative ass whole/ hatter on all the comments. I try to keep my comments Positive if I feel the urge to comment. But your only human and sometimes you just feel like being an ass and making some one feel stupid for there idiotic comment. Or sometimes I just disagree with what there saying and the person doesn't know how to speak so they just spew out insults. So its your duty to be as dumb as them and act 5 and comment something back lol. we've all done it. Some more than others. Now back to the video. love the animation. musics relaxing. I dig it. Enjoy...

music alert:Check out the COLD WAR KIDS...there awesome.

UPDATE:this made the cut as well, So true its all fun and games until someone gets hurts.

FOR THE COFFEE lovers.

Tonight I was watching "Singing in the Rain" with Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds and I usually don't like musicals but I guess the influence from my Grandfather Rubbed off.I know it did on my sister, She's been watching these old movies when ever she can. I think the only one I really enjoyed and liked watching it, more than once was Sweeney Todd with Johnny Depp. I guess I have another one on my list. I remember being a little kid my sister and I would watch Gone with the wind with my grandpa and our Grandma making fun of it every second, and having him tell her "ya boba,Déjame ver" in a playful voice. He loved em, she hated em. It's funny how that works. But while I was watching it I noticed how classy they all looked. wearing suits and dresses. I know people can't always wear that but It looked cool how everyone had there 3 piece suits and there stacy adams. My Grandfather would always look nice with his penny loafers. To him casual wear was dress slacs and a short sleave dress shirt ar a nice dress shirt and slacs. I never once saw him wear a T-shirt. Typical man from that era, total class. I hope to be like him one day, all suave and G lol. He was a hell of a father and husband. There's not a day that goes buy that I don't miss him. And all these black and white movies and musicals remind me of him so much. I have things that I hold dear to my hear that always keeps me close with him. Right now I'm watching The woman in the window, with Edward G. Robinson. Looks cool so far. Enjoy your morning/ Night. I'm out. RIP S.G.

We are all THERMODYNAMIC MIRACLES. . .

2009-06-07T01:08:00.000-07:00

events with odds against so astronomical they're effectively impossible, like oxygen spontaneously becoming gold. In each human coupling, a thousand million sperm vie for a single egg. Multiply those odds by countless generations, against the odds of your ancestors being alive; meeting; siring this precise son; that exact daughter. Of the thousand million children competing for fertilization, it was you, only you, that emerged. To distill so specific a form from that chaos of improbability, like turning air to gold... that is the crowning unlikelihood.The thermodynamic miracle. But the world is so full of people, so crowded with these miracles that they become commonplace and we forget...We gaze continually at the world and it grows dull in our perceptions. Yet seen from another's vantage point. As if new, it may still take our breath away.Try not to forget......
got it from a book I'm reading. aka a book I should be done with but I don't try to finish it because I know what happens and I lose interest. WATCHMEN. It's a good read.

FAV. Movie "Quotes"

2009-06-03T00:28:00.000-07:00

Okay so I love watching movies right, and I always find myself saying them @ random moments when I think they pertain to whats going on @ the moment. Most of the time it doesn't but my sister always saves me from the pulling of the collar and saying "Tough crowd" with a laugh. I do this a lot. to a Point my mom tells me to shut up. And my sister and I never really stop because it to fun. Especially when you get into that everything is funny mode. When something as simple as "your mom's bag" makes your sides hurt like you were punched Mike Tyson, before the movie Hangover. those times are always great, Laughing is good for the soul. And it always helps a tense situation. these are some of my mom's favorites lmao sarcasm is awesome.

"That ain't no Etch A Sketch. This is one doodle that can't be undid, Homeskillet."-Rollo, Juno.

"all that toast and no jelly"-Alonzo, Training Day

"yea go walk away, cuz ima burn this motherfucker down, king kong ain't got shit on me"-Alonzo, Training Day

"you got the Juice now"- Juice lol
okay let me start putting down one's I actually say lol

"When I was in college, I used to get a-wicked hammered. My nickname was Puke. I would chug a fifth of SoCo, sneak into a frat party...polish off a few people's empties, some brewskies, some Jell-O shots, do a some body shots off myself...pass out, wake up the next morning, boot, rally, more SoCo, head to class...probably would have gotten expelled if I'd let it affect my grades, but I aced all my courses. They called me Ace. Was totally awesome, got straight B's. They called me Buzz"-Nard Dog, The office

"I'll fuck you up quick two times"-Buggin out, Do the Right Thing

Don't Clash your outfit son. . .

2009-06-02T17:30:00.000-07:00

You don't need to match it gets kind of annoying.
matching that gets annoying.

waaaay too much.

it gets very annoying. no one's saying look like a clown and try to have all the color's on the rainbow in your outfit. but you can use more than two colors that are the same. Just something I see a lot and I find it funny how it's like some unwritten law to have everything to match. I think if the colors can match with each other they don't need to all be the same. Just something random I was thinking about. that's it for this post. Peace. . .

let's go Penguins. yea ima Hockey fan. because of Sid the KID. It's a hell of a sport just gets a bad wrap because the marketing staff is to busy picking there ass. because how could a sport that has there "Kobe & LeBron" in "Crosby & Ovechkin" but can't do the same thing as the NBA. I know it's not as big but do some commercials or something. lol enough with that. keep the random train rolling.. im out.

wtf? I thought I posted this b4 the Penguins game guess it didn't go threw...

This dude is pretty cool. has nice lyrics. I'm liking it. Was checking out Levi Maestro's blog over @ Hypebeast and I saw him post this song, I'm listening to right now, and I thought it was definitely iTunes material. So after I got that song called westside story, I Googled him. I didn't find much, so I went to my LAKER Fam, over @ 2dopedoyz. And found another song of his. was really cool. The name of his upcoming mixtape is called "Horns or Halos". I'm digging the name.

Show some class and give it up to the team who beat you, a lot of other teams with class do that, should take some lessons. I know you haven't been here to many time to know how to act. but the all "philosophical" PHIL can teach you... FAG.

Ferdinand Lewis 'Lew' Alcindor. . . SKY Hook for one please

2009-05-25T01:35:00.000-07:00

No clue why I posted this, its late Not very tired just can't sleep. went on youtube searched penny hardaway, then kemp, then some kobe stuff(how people hate on those comments), then on the related videos there was a video on kereem and I had to click it, it was horrible quality then I found these vids. A great look @ a Legendary basketball player. Shows how you can be a superstar with class. A lot of players are missing that in today's game, and more than half aren't even superstars. Just a dude with "swagg". I'd pick class over "swagg" any day, if that classy player had a mean sky hook. Wish I was alive to watch Kereem play as a buck & a laker. Born in 89 so I didn't see much of kereem or magic, shit I didn't even see Jordan or penny or any of those great players. I missed out on a lot, I got the 2000's nba which is dope but I'm an old school KID at heart. The 90's would be a great time for me to be a teen.
we'll enjoy the vids. ima try to knock out.. PEACE!!

Crazy Bus People. . .

2009-05-23T01:35:00.000-07:00

So today I woke up in desperate need of a hair cut I had a Dragon ball Z type hair just with out all the karate. So I left my house around 9:30 am (wanted to get an early start on the day)and walked down the street to the bus stop(yup I don't drive, sad isn't it, But I got drive on the inside =])got some change for the day pass because it's cheaper. ($1.50 per bus ticket, and $3.50 for the day pass. can't beat that). I'm ready to get on the bus but I haven't taken the bus in a long time so I ask the dude next to me if he knew which bus took me to this & that street. He didn't know right off the bat, so I assumed he was just gonna say naw, I'm sorry I don't know. We'll that's what I would of done, so he takes out the whole bus schedule thing to show me what bus routs go where. But the only thing was he couldn't see and he didn't know what he was talking about, so good thing I was paying attention and saw the correct rout to take. he was pointing in the total wrong Direction. I thanked him for helping me out, No biggie. Talked to much for my taste while I'm on the bus but was helpful in his own way. Then I get the Trans Center where I need to catch another bus. While waiting I came across a person who was talking to himself and was strangely looking at his watch and pointing like KG but in a crazy way not a douche way(Couldn't find that picture =[). It was very strange. I felt the urge to be a paparazzi and take a picture all stealth like the Ninja I am. See

lol... this was funny because of the way he was acting, wish I could of got a picture of him pointing @ his watch. After I was done with my hair cut(that took forever for me to get because of staff quitting/ getting tangled up in issues with the law, so they were under staffed. 3 barbers and like 20 something guys). When I left the Barber shop It got straight up awkward.
This Lady was bawling uncontrollable type crying. It was weird. I didn't want to get involved, I was gonna ask her If she was Okay but that idea came and went once I herd her crying all loud.
other than that crazy ass bus Experience it was a cool day. AND WOOOOOW THAT LEBRON SHOT!!!! wow.

Kob vs Melo . . . Game 2

2009-05-21T22:01:00.000-07:00

Garrett W. Ellwood/NBAE/Getty Images

wow watching Kobe and Melo Go @ each other is truly a treat for a fan of sports. Game 2 was another great game just the Lake show couldn't pull it out =[. Credit to the Nuggets. After I let my body temperature chill after we lost. I really got a chance to look back and actually enjoy the game, with out all the nail biting. I'm looking forward to watching game 3 and the other games to come. I just hope the Lakers are on top @ the end of the series. But this MELO vs. KOBE match up is pretty fun to watch.

there's a great article on ESPN about melo and Kob, pretty legit. Never though I'd say that cuz most of the time I can't stand there stupid writers except J.A. Adande

I'm trying to chill out my temper and not use my blog as a Rant machine, all the time. lol Just gonna let this game pass, why get to mad still a lot more basketball to play. I know we can play better D. Bring on GAME 3. Don't let the Picture Deceive you, Black mamba will kill you.

Quote of the night/Morning. . .My intro to Hip-Hop

2009-05-21T02:49:00.000-07:00

one of my fav. NAS Quote's

"The whole, city is mine, prettiest Don
I don't like the way P. Diddy did Shyne with different lawyers
Why it's mentioned in my rhymes? Fuck it, it's just an intro
Hate it or love it, like it bump it or dump it
Writing, across the stomach spell GOD son"
NaS-Purple

I agree I don't like the way P.diddy did Shyne. smh punk ass.
get your NaS on people.

NaS's ILLmatic itroduced me to my love for Hip-Hop. BEfore we found each other I was listening to nothing really. just random stuff and music my Dad listened to on our daily commute to school and work like JaZZ(which I love btw). But other than that wasn't listening to anything I was into. Remember it like it was yesturday. MY cousin was talking about NaS and I said who's that?? and I just stood there looking @ my cousin have a face of "I'm doing my duty to stear my cousin in the right hip-hop path" lol If you get the picture. So my cousin reaches in his backpack and gives me his walkman and gave me a Red Disc and tells me to listen to this album. And I kid you not I herd that album like 7 times straight and I instantly fell in love with NaS. And I found my self searching for more artist like Nas. aka Lyricist. That's the Hip-Hop I know and Love.

this video is pretty cool, I've always liked skating, just never got into the sport. Because I played football and baseball didn't wanna get hurt doing it and then couldn't play for my teams. Some were deep down inside I kinda wish I did try it. Seems so much fun. And then I could actually use my SB's for what there for, skating lol. enjoy the video (sorry for the auto-play)
