The last 6 months have arguably been some of the busiest and most trying, although most successful months of my life. And for that, I'm grateful. A new city, new job, new crib, everything. Totally blessed and really excited with everything. With that being said, it's time to get back to business. The business is blogging and business is....slow. Well it has been. I'm turning it around today. With so many big things going on in my life, it's only right. So, I'm back.
It's been a long time....blah blah blah. Now that I finally have some sort of stability after starting this job and moving into the new spot, I gotta get back to the BLAWG. Big news of this weekend, besides Morehouse's Homecoming, was the new Rise commercial from Nike and Lebron. Really a dope video and I'm glad to see Lebron not shying away from his decision.
I took a break from the blog during December for family time and I'm glad that I did. My brother got married, I had some more job interviews and I was able to spend much needed time with the fam. Mission complete.
Now that I'm back, let the hilarity ensue. And you know this.
This has gone on far too long. Work, interviews and Homecoming 09 have kept me busy for mad long but it's finally time to get back on the blog. Stupid fruity posts on the way.
A lot has happened that I haven't really gotten the chance to blog about. Mostly because I felt the need to keep up my tribute to MJ up a little while longer than usual. Back to business: Where were we??
This would have been bigger news had it been five years or so ago, but they're both still headliners. Shaq + _____ = Championships in damn near all cases [except Phoenix.] I'm pretty anxious to see if he can put his game together for a year so that Lebron can get his [first] ring in Cleveland... The Vince trade makes the Eastern Conference Champs instantly better, but remember, this isn't stuffmyarmintherim Vince Carter, this is damnniggamykneeshurtletmeshootthisjay Vince Carter. We'll see what happens.
NBA Draft
I wasn't really feeling the Bulls' picks this year, but last year was the first time I have in awhile. A few of the winners: The Hawks managed to trade to get Jamal Crawford [who gets buckets] and also drafed Jeff Teague from Wake Forest. Damn. The Nuggets were able to get a solid backup for Chauncey by acquiring Ty Lawson and even the Spurs did their thing by trading for Richard Jefferson and stealing picking up DeJuan Blair in the second round.
Soccer:
Ronaldo traded to Real Madrid
This one hurts. Not only was this my favorite player leaving my favorite team, but it lead to another great player departing. Manchester United just couldn't hold onto Ronaldo and Tevez after their disappointing loss to Barcelona in the Champions League Final. I'm torn because I don't know if I should follow Ronaldo to Madrid or if I should stick to ManU. I'm sure I'll still have some loyalties to ManU but I know for damn sure if Lebron left the Cavaliers I'd be like "Cleveland who???"
Confederations Cup Final
The USA men's soccer team was coming off of one of the biggest upsets in soccer history and followed it up by blowing another huge upset. The US has a 2-0 halftime lead against a Brazil team that many feel is one of the best in the world, only to allow three second half goals to lose 2-3. Well damn. Americans went from this to this in a matter of 45 minutes. Smh. But I don't want people to keep saying to me, "Why do you like soccer?? It's soooo boring." Check this goal from yesterday out:
Dope.
I'll be back with some new music and maybe even the one thing I enjoyed about the BET Awards. Oww.
