Dennis Rodman and His Demons




Dennis, my man, hundred grand. Unless you have been under a rock, you know doubt have heard about Dennis Rodman's hall of fame speech. When Dennis was going to be inducted, folks didnt know what to think. Yet, for the most part the brother was on his best behavior for Dennis.

It was disgusting watching him wipe snot away from his nose piercings, that is not gangsta Dennis. It was heart wrenching needless to say. One thing is clear, Dennis knows he is battling demons. Whether its abandonment issues, or alcohol, Dennis admitted as much that he was surprised that he was still alive. Reportedly, someone is working on a documentary on Dennis and Dennis admitted that he hoped to be alive when it comes out. Scary.

Now, I love Dennis Rodman's game. There was not a better rebounder in the game. Micheal and Scotty know those last 3 rings would not have been possible without Dennis. He was the man and deserves to be in the hall of fame. I dont want to touch his outside the court activities. I read his book and found it amusing needless to say. His game was hardcore and he played the game the way basketball is meant to be played tough and hardnosed. Congrats Dennis.

Now having said that, I do believe you are a good guy, Dennis. Misunderstood perhaps on purpose but a good nonetheless. I remember the scene you set when you was in your pick up truck with a shotgun, getting ready to kill yourself. Look at those babies, bruh. The ones you readily admitted you wasn't good father to. They need you to beat those demons. After all, who is going to show them how to fight their demons Dennis? Be strong. Get it together. God loves you. You may or may not know that, but if nothing else, love yourself dude. Love yourself.

Movies and Comics




There has been a rash comic books coming to the theaters. Now I am a comic book kinda guy. Well, like I said kinda. In fact I dont buy books as much. Now I know you comic book heads out there are just losing your mind. You just knocked over your third red bull onto the floor. I dont buy books like that. I grew up buying books. I dont collect anymore but I do spend a little time reading. My favorite comic book shop closed a few months ago. Midnight Comics on Highway 6 was the truth! But alas. I was making a run to the store and saw the owners cleaning up the place. I was shocked and stunned for about 5 minutes.

Ya see, that is the reality of life today. The economy isnt funny at all. Everybody is feeling it. So now, I just hit half price books and do my thing. Last books I recently read where the Old Man Logan and the Ghost Rider "Heaven's on Fire" series. So I dont keep up with books like some of yall but I do like to read. The coolest part about Half Price Books is that they will sell you a stack of books in a bag for 5 bucks.

Today, I hit the store in Pearland (which is becoming my favorite real quick like that), and bought a bag. Now, in these bags you get sometimes a lot of junk. Not today though, today it was 26 books and all of them were Wolverine. Yep, in fact Wolverine #127-134 136-139, 142, 145, and #75-79, 81-86 and X-MEN deluxe editions of Wolverine 87-91, 98-99. My little brother used to collect X-Men but you know a X-Men habit can be very expensive. So Im doing my diddy dance and reading books on my favorite X-Man. But I digress.

The Wolverine movie was okay. I like Hugh Jackman. Dude is real. But the story, eh. Could have been better. Now for you old school heads, If I had to do a movie on Wolverine, I would chosen Japan. Look it up, new jacks. That just would have been cool.

Thor. Umm, it was good for what it was. I just think it could have been better. Im not hating though.

Green Lantern. Nice! Good story and definitely looking forward to the sequel.

Captain America. I liked it. (in my fourth grade voice) Now bring on the Avengers movie already.

Now this wouldnt be a blog, unless I put my two cents in.

Comics that I would like to see as a movie.

Black Panther, without question and honestly you cannot do an Avengers movie without the King of Wakanda.

Daredevil. Yeah, I would like to see that done over. Just my opinion.

Storm. You can never get enough of Halle Berry. lol But seriously though the story with her and Black Panther is good and I think could carry a movie.

Dr Strange. Yes that would be awesome.

Hulk. Can somebody do a Hulk movie right? Bring in Red Hulk if you need but come on.


Those are just a few. I know none of those are probably going to be made but hey, I can dream. A boondocks movie would be gangsta though. lol

Its Time to Put on my Clown Suit






Well, since Im back. I guess its time to clown some folk. I promise I wont judge but I will look at the facts of the matter and tell you unequivocally, (is that a word?) my two cents.

Number One of my list

The Houston Astros



Now look at that dope logo. You would think, that a team with a dope logo like that would not be the laughing stock of MLB. But no, we are in the cellar. We are going to lose 100 friggin games this year. Message to Uncle Drayton, "i want to kick you out the door so bad..." But too late, you sold the team and word is the dude has major Human Resource issues with his company. And the word is he wants the trim payroll down to 60 million. Well shoot let me help ya. Get Carlos Lee a one way trip to where ever he wants to spend his millions. I wouldnt feel so bad if Carlos gave us some years like Bags did. Bags had no stick in the last couple of years and he was making nearly 20 million. I wouldnt feel so bad but dude has not earned that brinks truck of money he is getting. Sad to say, its pretty bad. They dont even talk baseball on the radio hardly. Sucks for you Astros organization. In fact, I am probably not going to talk about you again this year.

Okay, i dont know if the link is going to get you there but paste it in your url and do your thing. I was listening to Rome Friday and he talked about this guy who allegedly urinated on a child. Dude was drunk. No kidding. You have to be out of your mind and off your meds to even think of doing something like that. Your parents must be proud. Dude doesnt get any ink. Here he is just dude. Copy the link and get the scoop if you want. Im terribly shocked that something like this could happen on a plane, much less to a child. I hope you get it together dude but that is so not gangsta. Now the media is on your case something awful, as well as they probably should be. Its one thing to be drunk out of your mind but totally another to do something that disrespectful. Im shocked that you are still breathing air. Im thinking piss bags and lots pain medication. No pun intended. Anyhoo. This is one those Jesus take the wheel type things. Horrible. I hope you get it together and really let Jesus take the wheel of your life. Because that was sick and unexcusable.

ITS ALIVE!!!




ITS ALIVE! ITS ALIVE!

YEYA YA YA YA AH HAA HAA

or something like that.

You know sometimes you start something and you have high hopes for it but it goes nowhere. Yeah, this blog is certainly a casualty of my busy life and my reluctance to work on it or give it is proper attention. Yeah she has been that ugly girlfriend that you dont call until the late night hour. Strange, it is 1:36 am, go figure. So, I have decided to work on the blog and see where I can really take it. I do know that Im going to focus on sports, comics, and other geeky stuff but not on the technology of it all. The crap changes daily. Plus, Im an old school anyway. So, blog is going to get face lift but I will keep my Star Wars picture, that is too awesome. But stay tuned. I promise I will be here for a while. Or until something hotter comes along. lol
