Fat Dog!

The other day my friends and I took a trip down the ways to Virginia beach. It was my first time going to Virginia beach since I have been on this side of the country. I was fairly impressed; it reminded me of home. It was my first time seeing the Atlantic Ocean  and a overall great experience.

The highlight of trip had to be this beast of a dog I saw. This was by far pound for pound the biggest dog I have ever seen. I walked past it and had to do a double take because I thought it was a pig! I was like who walks a pig in public? This really must be the country, but it turned out they just had an obese dog.

Round 1

The opening days of the first round of the playoffs has been nothing short of amazing. As a matter of fact that may be an understatement. Today the Lakers faced the Nuggets in Los Angeles. One word: domination. The Lakers took the first game of the series with ease. 

Back on Top

The Lakers have finally made it back to the top of the Western Conference. Tuesday night they sealed the deal by beating the Sacramento Kings. The Lakers have barely made it to the playoffs the previous two years, but they are now in a position to do some heavy damage. They are playing Allen Iverson and the Denver Nuggets.

The Nuggets are not going to be a push over because Allen Iverson and Carmelo Anthony are a handful. The NBA's 3rd and 4th leading scorers will put up a big fight, but its going to come down to them playing defense. So far in the playoffs Kobe is 4:2 against Iverson in the playoffs, and he is the player with the most playoff experience on the Nuggets. This should be an interesting series. 

I am an American

Smokey Robinson does a great job in describing who we are as Americans. Yes we are black, but ultimately we are Americans. He makes a great point when he says if America is so bad why are so many people coming and so few leaving? Thanks mom for sharing this.

Common Freestyle

Common let a freestyle loose at the Springfest Concert at Hampton University.

Dreams of a King

I know I am a bit late, but its better late than never. As some of you may know Friday April 4 marked forty years since the assassination of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Doctor King was a great man who did and meant a lot to this country. He was dedicated and convicted to his cause. He pressed for equality and peace throughout the world. A martyr, man of God, and civil rights activist Dr. King proved himself to earn every bit of respect and appreciation we give him today.

In forty years this country has come a long way. We still have a long way to go, but we have made significant progress since the time of Dr. King. The question is: are we taking advantage of the opportunities we are being given? Are we really doing the best to take advantage of the opportunities countless men and women got beat, went to jail, and died for? That is a question we must ask ourselves in order to truly take this country to the next level. 

Not So Common Talent

Last night I had the privilege of attending one of the best concerts I have ever been to. Common was nothing short of amazing last night. The concert didn't start off so great though. From taking two hours to get seated all the way to bad opening acts by the locals. It seemed doomed from the start. Pleasure P came and did a pretty good job at entertaining the crowd, but I couldn't help but to notice he was singing others music and drinking what looked like syrup the entire time. 

Common came and saved the show. He came with fire from beginning to the end. The energy he brought was amazing; especially since the crowd wasn't all that big. Last night Common really did his thing. For everyone who loves rap and hip hop they need to check him out. He is a positive rapper who speaks of empowerment and has a real message. He also is an amazing lyricist. His name is Common but the talent he has is not so common amongst some of the rappers these days. Oh yeah and he had a nice bottle of Dasani water the whole night that he was sipping on, no need for all that extra stuff to perform.
