Cassies New Hairdo

 

We're saying this because we care, get a hobby. This is not cutting edge or the new in thing, this is just silly. You're already a beautiful woman whose graced magazine covers and fashion events and even been a Wednesday's Woman for God's sake. Why are you doing this? 

Why In The World Would Somebody Do This To Their Body?

Is this what's hot now?







I'll pass.

Pardon My French But Fuck Gilbert Arenas

I can forgive being a headcase, as most my favorite people in the world, famous or not, are. I can forgive momentary inhuman moments because even the best of us act like the worst of us from time to time. One thing I don't care for are frontrunners. And Gilbert Arenas, who is a headcase and occasional asshole, that I still liked did the worse thing imaginable. He became a frontrunner after saying he didn't support McCain or Obama. Now he's got Obama tattoos on his hand and Obama & family murals in his house. Disgusting.

Gilbert November 2008 Pre-Frontrunner Status:

I’m not into politics, but I see what’s going on in the presidential race and I’m seeing rappers make songs for Obama and Mr. McCain doing all his stuff and I’m thinking, this is getting out of control, people. Whatever happened to Democrats and Republicans? You vote for who’s who.

It’s hard for me to vote, because since I’ve been in the NBA I’ve been in the upper class so I’ve been a Republican. If you have any type of money, you’re a Republican, period. So, it’s hard because you see a better looking president in Obama – I don’t even want to say because he’s black, but he just looks the part – and then you have McCain who is Republican and I’m like, man. I know Obama is going to raise taxes on the upper class from 20-60 percent, that’s what I’m looking at. To be honest, I stopped paying attention a long time ago when it was Bush and Gore when Gore won the popular vote, but Bush was the president.

For whatever president that wins, what can I tell you? Do a good job. Change the world. I remember when we were voting for class president in high school, the guy who won was the guy who said he’s going to put the vending machines in the school cafeteria. That’s who I voted for. So until I hear vending machines or lower gas prices, I’m not voting. As soon as I hear, “Yeah, I’m going to lower gas prices,” then you got me, I’ll sit in jury duty.

Then Post November 4th, Obama -Tattoo having Frontrunner Gilbert:

"Gilbert's bored," Etan Thomas said, shaking his head, as he got prepared for Saturday's eventual debacle against the Orlando Magic.

As usual, Gilbert Arenas was holding court and cracking jokes with his teammates before the game, so I assumed that Thomas was talking about Arenas doing his nightly comedy routine. Shortly thereafter, it became clear that Thomas was talking about something else entirely.

Arenas walked by Thomas and Thomas stopped him to look at Arenas's hand. Then Thomas licked his thumb and rubbed Arenas's hand trying to smear off the ink. When the ink remained, Thomas chuckled, shook his head some more, and walked away.

I walked up to Arenas to see what got Thomas so worked up and looked in amazement. Arenas has decided to show his permanent support of President-elect Barack Obama with a tattoo. Arenas had the words "Change We Believe In" tattooed onto the fingers of his left hand in cursive writing. Then, Gilbert showed the outside of his pinky finger, which had "44" inked on it.

My left hand no longer looks like this.

Arenas shortened Obama's campaign slogan, "Change We Can Believe In," choosing not to add ink to his thumb. Arenas has "change" written on the outside of his index finger; "we" on the inside of his middle finger; "believe" on the inside of his ring finger; and "in" on the inside of his pinky and "44" on the outside of his pinky. In case you didn't already know, Obama will be the 44th POTUS.

Arenas said he went down to Miami to have his favorite tattoo artist stitch him up after the Wizards arrived in Orlando late Friday night. He didn't explain how he got there -- Miami is an hour flight or three-hour drive from Orlando -- and I was too shocked by the tattoo to ask a follow-up question. All that I could say was, "You've got a lot of free time, don't you?"

For a player who said he wasn't even going to vote just three weeks ago, Arenas changed his apolitical stance quickly -- and dramatically. Arenas said on Saturday that his previous comments about not voting because he was afraid of having higher taxes were "a joke that nobody got." He added that he always planned on voting for Obama but was waiting to find the right reasons.

"I wasn't going to sit there and wing it for no reason," Arenas said, "Like oh yeah, he's black so I'm voting [for him]. I could've said I was voting for [John] McCain because he's from Arizona and went to all the games."

Arenas said he went with Obama because he was impressed with his demeanor and temperament.

Arenas has gone all out for Obama, adding that he hired an artist last week to paint a mural with Obama's family on one side and Arenas's fiancee and children on another side of a wall in Arenas's house. "He united people," Arenas said of Obama. "By him winning, it showed the world that we're not as racist as people think we are. I think that's the beauty of [the election]. Not just because he's the first African American president. America is not as bad as people think we are."

Arenas once dubbed himself, "Black President," but said he had no problem conceding the title with a real black president now heading to Washington. He said he even plans on getting a Wizards jersey that reads "Obama 44" and will ask him to sign it if and when Obama decides to attend a game at Verizon Center. Arenas said there is even more reason to win a championship, "because if you win the championship, you go to the White House."

I hate people that aren't down until you prove to be victorious. I don't want that. If you can't suffer through the long odds with me and bad times and want to be silent when things aren't going well, then I don't want to hear you when things are going good. I'd rather Obama lose and have his loyal most staunch supporters be the only ones backing him then have frontrunners and hal-way well wishers join him at the last lap of the race and support him. That's where I'm done with this guy. In fact I'mma let Mike Singletary speak to Gilbert Arenas for me:

This Is Taking It Too Far

This nigga's gone mad.

LOL.

Today's Question: Does Kat DeLuna....

Does Kat DeLuna pick up the check she 'earned' for butchering singing the National Anthem or does she quietly exit the stadium and lay low for a month? Watch this performance from last nights Monday Night Football game and decide for yourself.

Tuesday's Top Ten: Overused Phrases or Words In The Black Community

1. Y'ahmsayin (Rappers are paid to speak so in effect they ought to be masters of the english dictionary. By definition a lyricist ought to have a pretty firm grasp of the language with which he speaks and earns a living with, right? Well if you've heard a rapper talking to a reporter or another individual this is not the case. This word rears it's head at the end of sentences as if it were a period or some other sort of exclamation point. Do I know what you're saying? Are you seriously asking me this? I've just heard you talk for 5 minutes and go on and on about nothing at all and I'm not even sure you know what the hell you're saying. If you have to ask this question after expressing yourself then you've got some more work to do in making how you feel known.)
2. Y'ahmean (this is cousin to previously stated 'y'ahmsayin' and just as ignorant.)
3. Like (No lie, I've heard grown man say 'like' as if they were teenage white girls from Laguna Beach. It's only supposed to be used as a metaphorical term to stress likeness, rappers of all people ought to understand when this is most useful but always use and abuse the word with reckless abandonment.)
4. 'At the End of the Day' (This is a phrase that basketball players and rappers alike use as often as air. So annoying. So stupid. At the end of the day shouldn't be used unless you're telling me that the sun sets or the store closes or something that actually occurs then. Black people are the only people that OD on this one right here. Seriously we need to let this one die.)
5. I'm Saying (You're saying, I'm listening, we're all clear on what we're doing. No need on repeating this every five seconds.)
   
6. 'Nuff Said (One of the all-time most cringe-worthy phrases to reach internet hip-hop messageboards ever. When someone is feeling themselves or what they just said so much they always use this like that puts the exclamation point on something. This is lame, people. Stop doing this to yourselves. Automatic loss to you, your mother, your father the doctor or midwife that delivered you and anyone else who had anything to do with your arrival into this world.)
7. On Some ______ Shit (Rappers do this all the time. Very very annoying. Very unimaginative. You can almost insert any word in the blank and make a Hip-Hop safe/friendly word in perfect syntax. On some real shit, this shit sucks. Give it up.)
8. You Feel Me (aka the Omar Little Syndrome)
9. Basically (When you hear this word, you're almost certain to encounter some non-scientifc, fact deficient bullshit nonsense thereafter. The word itself implies that someone isn't giving you anything verbatim but instead is winging the next string of words off the top of their head.)
10. Nigga (So easy, yet so unabashedly true. Nigga is pivotal to any conversation between black. It's such a mainstay that often times it slips out in talks with you and your white friends and makes things uncomfortable for a little bit. I'm not going to lie like I don't use the word too but since we can't quit it cold turkey we've got to really ween ourselves off of it. )
    

Hillary Hints At Possible Obama Assassination For Why She Stays In The Race

This is clumsy, inarticulate and I don't think she meant it and she probably is tired but this is bad and for the first time this campaign process I feel like I may sit out this election for the greater good.

I'm really starting to think short of Obama campaigning with Hacksaw Jim Duggan he's not going to quell the angst America has in voting for a person of color and that there are forces at work here that will likely do him in if he gets too close to the office. People are speaking in too many dog whistles right now. It's just not in this country to elect a non-white man. I'm starting to feel like to support Obama may actually be signing his death warrant. Unfortunately I couldn't support anybody left in the race so I may not even vote. I don't want to make his little girls orphans.

Black people can pay taxes like everybody else, follow the rule of law, work as hard as their white counterparts and earn all the rights afforded to them but being president isn't a realistic goal. Not in this country. Not at this time. It's just not going to happen and it's sad. [ChrisRock] Blacks can't teach their kids when they're young that sky's the limit in America, when you're black the limit is the sky. [/ChrisRock]
