My take on things
So, since I stopped with WW3, I haven’t really spilled my opinion on too many a topic on this here blog o’ mine. Well, no more kiddos, I’m back like cooked crack.
I think this year’s Democratic Primary was as rare as they get. Though I don’t like her and did not vote for her, Hills shares a lot of Barack’s stances, and, in any other year, would have been our President. Unfortunately, she’s the Karl Malone to Barack’s MJ this year, which sucks, but them’s the breaks. That being said, a VP spot for her just would not be a good idea. It would be suicide. Obama’s ticket is centered on change, and less of the status quo, and good as she is, the Clinton name is synonymous with status quo, making her the polar opposite of this campaign’s core message. I do however think that the myriad Clinton supporters who say they will not vote Obama in the general election are frigging retarded, as they share many of the same stances, and are in the SAME PARTY. Voting across the aisle is a slap to the party, and Primary candidate, you claimed to support months before.
The Finals are here and my C’s are in it and a game UP BABY!
But, this series really could go either way. I know, I hate it too.
Paul and Kobe cancel each other out, with Kobe maybe having a +4-8 point advantage over PP. Kevin will continue to beast the terry cloth soft Pau Gasol, who just looks slow and timid when paired with Kevie Kev for 48 minutes. That being said, Perkins will get ran out of the gym by Odom, who is the most versatile, diverse player he’s had to guard this postseason, but he won’t be outrebounded, which is the only plus there. Rondo and Cassell will continue to show up Fish and Farmar, Rondo too long and athletic, and Sam I Am too good and varied a shooter to be outplayed by the old and diminishing, young and anxious LA duo. Ray will outplay Radmanovic and the other guy who’s name I won’t even ATTEMPT to spell, simply because his shooting and slashing abilities will draw them and others plenty of fouls, and him plenty of easy stripe visits. The Benches are about as different as two benches can be, ours will get stops but struggle to score without a scoring threat, theirs will score points in streaks and fail to get stops. My Prediction: Us in Seven, but only just barely.
Whoever stole my camera’s mother is a whore, and I hope they get hit by something moving fast. Yeah, I said that.
Lil Wayne recently issued a Big F U to DJs across the states, saying that he didn’t know where they got the tracks and he never saw a dime. Beyond his 9087687689678 mixtapes netting him zero dollars, he has a point, the classic mixtape and the classic DJ are dying, and have been for some time. I grew up on all the Clue tapes my sister would let me keep when she came home from school, and, while Clue wound up being the prototype for what DJs have since become, he picked good music based on merit and flow, spent more time bigging up featured artists more than himself and his stable, and ACTUALLY SCRATCHED FROM TIME TO TIME. None of said qualities are being exhibited anymore by mainstream DJs, and the music and its fans are the victims. I know they have to eat, but there is always, always a way to eat without letting the art suffer. But what do I know?
