“This Is How We Do It”
June 18th, 2009Haha this is the best commercial ever. Nike might either be ruining LeBron’s psyche or turning him into the next Kobe with these commercials. If he really is a champion at heart, it will make him better. If he is just another above average guy, then it won’t.
Taken from a RealTalkNY commenter:
“That’s what happens when you try to be a rapper….and throwing up jay-z signs in games…no rings..hehe. While you’re throwing up dynasty signs, and at clubs and dinners with Jay-Z…you know what Kobe is doing…lol Working on his jump shot and fade aways…to sink’em in your face Lechoke!!”
That’s kinda harsh but it’s the truth. No one is saying don’t party but to be the best you gotta put in the best work.
I love LeBron though. Maybe he doesn’t want to be the best and that’s just the public’s expectation for him. Maybe he’s content just being “one of the best”.

I’ve been down with the Lakers since Shaq left. Always been a Kobe fan but I became a full blown Laker fan once him and Shaq split. Kobe was the underdog. The most hated man in America. The guy who threw it all away over ego. I’ll admit it’s been rough. One year we didn’t even make the playoffs. Other years the Phoenix Suns sent us home early. But through it all the team continued to focus on winning. Continued to climb and make adjustments when necessary. The end result is hoisting up the trophy tonight in Orlando.
Congratulations to Kobe, Congratulations to Phil, and Congratulations to the Lakers.
“I Don’t Sneeze Too Often…..”
June 7th, 2009But God keeps blessing me.
Pardon the corny line but it’s the best I could come up with on the run. Good things just keep happening to me and the people around me. I’m thankful. Let’s keep it going y’all.
And to those who think they can stop it, I’ll tell you like 50 Cent: “This is God’s plan homie, this aint mine”

Music Mondays:Colin On mtvU
February 16th, 2009
Colin Munroe’s video for “Piano Lessons” featuring Joell Ortiz has been selected on mtvU’s show The Freshman. It’s one of a select few videos that fans can vote on from now until Friday. The winner gets moved into permanent rotation on MTVU. That’s a pretty big deal so please take the time out to vote. Especially everyone who said “Piano Lessons” was your favorite Colin vid;now you can see it on the big screen.
Ummm…
January 21st, 2009I don’t really have an angle for this post so I’ll just jump all over the place, bear with me. I just feel like putting something up here since the last post ended on a negative note. I really don’t want to make anyones life difficult but some people won’t let you live……I’m going to liveI am living.
Side note:Guess who was just taught how to strike a word out on html? haha I’m about to OD with it. I am OD’ing with it.
I feel bad about my performance during this inauguration weekend. I should have been way more active and more involved.
*Excuses For Not Partying As Much:Parties were too crowded, lines were extra long when we can’t skip the line, we skip the party.
*Excuses For Leaving The Inauguration Early: I was sleepy. Went straight from a party to a breakfast spot to THE breakfast spot, props to Jabari for putting a dude on to “Steak N Eggs”. From there I get in a line that stretched probably 10-20 miles. Imagine being surrounded by 3 million tourists who don’t understand the act of NOT stepping on your shoes. Imagine 15 degree temperature with no gloves and no scarf (props to the lady who kept giving me her tissues for my nose and the girl who helped me zip my hands inside my coat…2 much black+2 much love=4ever). Imagine taking pictures of monuments that you can see from your house, and then realizing that it makes no sense. Imagine being told that you can see more from the TV set than the people there in person….imagine no cell phone service. Imagine leaving with your frost bitten toes and fingers.
Props to everyone who stayed and thugged it out. I fully understand why. “It’s nobody fault I made the decisions I made, that’s why I’m still paranoid till this day..”-Jay-Z
Speaking of the Jigga man. Man that was too real to see him performing “History” on that stage. Like that’s the stuff movies are made out of. Shout out to Beyonce, Kanye, Usher, Garth Brooks, Sheryl Crow, Rihanna and everyone else who pumped life into this town this past weekend. Especially you, Ms.Rosario Dawson who I ran into stalked twice. What a woman.
Mr.Obama I know I’m not saying anything new here but you deserve to be commended a million times. You and you’re family exemplify all that’s good with the world. Struggle, perseverance, faith, hard/smart work and knowing how to handle success. You’re teaching showing men how to be naturally cool again as opposed to forcing. Your wife is showing women how to be strong, determined and beautiful without being bitchy and condescending a tad bit snotty. Your daughters are already serving as role models for their age group as well. Keep it up sir and good luck with the Presidency. 1600 Pennsylvania Ave is a stones throw from where I live. Hit me up for basketball one of these days.
Back to politics as usual now.
