Athletes

And the lack of respect for them. At the bottom of the page is a link to a video where i will show you why athletes do not get enough respect. In your comment, I want you to (after watching it once, twice, ten time) carefully analyze and tell me why the stereotype is that black people are fast and white people are not (note the carefully utilized tact). Enjoy. Watch it all the way through (trust me).

Feel the fury of a 350 pound defensive tackle, Richie boy LOL

iHate

I STRONGLY DISLIKE WHEN PERFECTLY GOOD NFL PLAYERS GET CUT, SYMBOLIZING THE END OF THEIR CAREERS (notice the Declaration of Independence-like capitalization...sorta). The NFL has evolved into a business and I do not like it at all. Not to say that it has always been different. My uncle, Mark Robinson was a pro-bowl caliber strong safety for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for several years before he blew his knee out. He was cut the day after. My father was the same case except he was a running back. I rest my case. If a player makes too much, ask him to take a paycut. If he is a detriment to the team, sit him down and resolve the issue. However, fan favorites should never be released. Maybe traded but to be cut in the NFL is the ultimate insult. I am extremely angry over the events that have occurred over the past few days.

RIP the careers of...

Marvin Harrison (WHATT!?!?!ok, honestly?)

Beautiful Girls

Just for Damien (No homo though, he requested this article even though he didn't vote for it in the poll. However, I digress.)

With that Sean Kingston song playing in my head , I'm off on another literary quest (punctuated by plenty of LOL's). Anyways, back on topic, I'd just like to say that South Florida is home to some of the most beautiful girls on Earth. I'm nervous writing this because of my girlfriend, but if anyone asks, Damien Brown made me write this. I have the shortest attention span in the history of blogging. This better get like 4375923971462187394 comments at least or I quit.

A new paragraph is a new beginning. I want to address the topic of beautiful girls this week because I feel they do not get enough credit. I have a girlfriend, but I have always had a certain appreciation for beautiful women. I do not have eyes that just drift from one girl's hips to another (LOL), but I believe that women have unbelievable "talent" (note the tact). The number one part of a girl is her eyes. A girl is truly beautiful if you can look in her eyes and lose your words. The point of this article was to share my opinions with you on beautiful women. Below I have listed the most beautiful women ever. I'd love to back this up with Logos arguments (hey, Ms. Stoklosa), but I can't. I apologize. Please share your opinions...

10-Marissa Miller (SI)

9-That chick from Rush Hour III

8-Giselle Bundchen

7-Zooey Deschanel (you probably don't know this name, Google is your friend)

6-Scarlett Johansson

5-Katy Perry

4-Rihanna (pre-rock'em sock'em incident)

3-Jessica Alba

2-Shakira (she is beautiful without makeup on, see above photo)

1-Victoria Maria Cabanas :)

K.O.-Rihanna Fans of America Posting

Red-Chris
Blue-Rihanna
JK (insert foot in mouth now)

First of all, I'd like to apologize for my title. It is humorous to me, but you may not find it as amusing. Second of all, I'd like to apologize in advance for the rest of this article. Relax (seriously, please chill your overreactive self down lol) and enjoy.

I have been following the Chris Brown-Rihanna saga as it develops and I have to say that I am really disappointed in males as a whole. It is never acceptable to raise your hand to a woman (let alone one as beautiful as Rihanna, jeez) and to strike her simply speaks volumes about your lack of care for her. Not only does Rihanna need to dump Chris Brown because she is perfectly capable of finding a way better man (not a boy) than him. She should get a free shot or something, I mean come on. I will update this when I get more information but at the moment I don't have too much info. I heard he bit her. Maybe I have been misinformed..

iRep FLA

As a whole, the culture of Florida is very unique because of its melting pot like culture. In this article, I want you to get an accurate view of my view of Florida (from my perspective, of course). Broward is known for its high concentration of people from the West Indies and from Hispanic origins. However, I am not here to talk about the mixture of different ethnicities in Florida. That bores me to the point of snoring. I'm not going to touch that topic.

Musically, Broward and Dade County are two of the hottest places in the country. Rappers like Flo-Rida, Trick Daddy, DJ Khaled (I just threw up in my mouth a little bit), and Rick Ross have all signed major deals and are being marketed to the entire nation. Other equally skilled rappers, such as Iceberg, Ballgreezy, Brisco, and Piccalo (duo of rappers), have had a tough time getting publicity, but will all be prime time soon enough. The musical preference changes the further north you go. However, it is certain that as an unbiased consumer, Broward and Dade county artists will soon get the recognition that they deserve.

As athletes, Florida has been known for the speed and quickness of its athletes. This is a fact because as unprivileged players from areas such as Belle Glades, Pahokee, or Miami-Dade County have all grown up with football backgrounds due to their need to stay out of trouble. The speed of Florida athletes (namely those who play either football or track) is evident by their play and can be further studied on the increasingly popular web resource known as YouTube. That is all I have for today. Please comment on any part of my blog that you please.

GAME OVER (the creativity shines)

Pacman is in a heap of trouble. Blinky and Pinky and all those other blobs have finally caught up to him and he ran out of the big flashing dots to eat. Just kidding, not that Pacman (hahaha I am a comedic genius huh). As a whole, Adam Jones (the corner formerly known as Pacman) has been an example of showmanship and a behavioral issue for team owners throughout his troubled career. Personally, I like Pacman for several reasons. Not only does he wear my jersey #32, but he is a solid defensive back with a playing style that I thoroughly enjoy. He is perfectly capable of playing both sides of the ball as demonstrated by his time with the Tennessee Titans.

Although he is a phenomenal athlete (yes, he did have a mediocre season), his off-field reputation precedes him. In 2007, Pacman was arrested in Las Vegas after a brawl (and later shooting) that left one person paralyzed from the waist down. Two more strip club patrons were shot during the same incident (hahahaha). Outside of having people shot at skin joints, Pacman has had a reputation as a raging alcoholic. Most recently, after a brief stint in rehab, Pacman was released from the Dallas Cowboys. Personally, I disagree with the Cowboys' decision to release Pacman because even though he had a below average season, he did reach out for help with his problems and he was abandoned instead of aided. Here's where I could go all off topic and say how Black Athletes (namely football players) are persecuted today. But I won't because you won't like that. Thank you for your time and goodbye. Beam me up, Scotty. I'm out.

Black History

Happy February to all of my classmates of all ethnic denominations LOL (how many days are in February this year?). February always means a few different things to me, including but not limited to, Valentine's Day, my sister's birthday, and Black History. This year is especially historic for African-Americans everywhere because of the election of Barack Obama to the office of the President of the United States of America. The one thing that I do find strange is that Black History Month is just that. As Morgan Freeman stated in an interview in December 2005, "You're going to relegate my history to a month? I don't want a Black History Month...Black History is American History." However, until US public schools give a more in-depth presentation of black history, Black History Month will and must stay. The fact that Black History is separated from US history is intriguing to me because I find that America prides itself on racial unity and equality. I am not one of those disgruntled Blacks who complains everytime some one refers to us as "they" or "them" or even "those people". I am simply of the belief that even though Black culture is vibrant and unique, Blacks still live voluntarily separate from Whites. I wish to bring an end to the ignorance (my friends are gonna eat this alive). Anyways, I'm just speaking my mind and I wanted to express myself.

PS: Why does it feel like I am forcing my writing lately? It just feels like I am not writing like I have been able to before. I shall try to figure it out.

RIP: Prominent African-Americans who died in 2008:

Santonio Holmes

Alright, I usually do not change my mind about many things. I am pretty set in my ways for the most part. However, the recent events that took place in my old hometown of Tampa, FL have made me reconsider my opinion on who is the best wide receiver in the NFL. Santonio Holmes' recent performance in Super Bowl XLIII has made me want to completely withdraw my statements about Terrell Owens and Larry Fitzgerald. It takes serious guts to perform like this man did on the biggest stage of all. Some consider the Super Bowl to be the biggest TV event of the year. Your newest Super Bowl MVP is from the greatest college in the United States, THE Ohio State University, home of the Buckeyes. There is a new definition of the Immaculate Reception as Santonio Holmes made an incredible catch by keeping control of the ball and both feet in bounds.

Growing up in Belle Glades, FL, Santonio Holmes had difficulty staying out of trouble. He sold drugs to earn money for "snacks and shoes". After the arrest of one of his friends, Santonio laid down his first "profession" and focused more on sports. Santonio won the state championship with Glades Central High School, earning a scholarship to go be a Buckeye at Ohio State University. As a Buckeye, the duo of Santonio Holmes and Ted Ginn Jr. was nearly unstoppable. As a Steeler, Santonio has wowed Pittsburgh fans with his speed and finesse.

As a result of the Arizona Cardinal's loss, all of the bandwagoners who jumped on Larry Fitzgerald as soon as he started doing well have disappeared. I love the loyal fans of the National Football League. Fairweather fans make me laugh.
