GARY COLEMAN R.I.P. -May 28, 2010


FIVE MINUTES OF HEAVEN... no slumber party


You get a chance check out this movie. It's short, but damn good. The movie shows the lives of a reformed murderer and the victim's brother as they are in route to meet for the first time in 33 years via a television production. The thougts of the both men are viewed in this realistic yet intense drama.

The only thing in the reformed killers mind is telling the truth to this brother tormented by the death of his older brother. The only thing in the victim's brother's mind is revenge. For 33 years he's received dissaproval from his mother who rejects him and blames him for the murder of his older brother. Will he get his revenge? Will this scripted television set become a murder scene? Check it out...Holla!

Nike ACG 2010 Air Moc




So classic, yet so refreshing....at least that's how I see it. 2010 brings about the return of Nike's original classic (the revamped) Air Moc ACG. Slated to hit stores at select Nike retailers next month, the Air Moc hits shelves in a range of basic colors, constructed with one-piece suede uppers, a drawstring lace system (seen on back of shoe), and a full length air unit adding to the relaxing appeal of this comfortable and stylish kick. Not gonna lie, I think its dope...but I'd like you to share your thoughts.

Xzibit - What U See Is What U Get



Before Pimp My Ride X to the Z Xzibit was a firery California rapper. I think this is one of the best rap videos ever made. I thought it was mad creative especially for the era that it had come out of. The aggression of the record definitely matches the tempo of the video. I want to direct like this.

As always Holla!

Lebron and his Mom



Originally After the Game 6 lost to Boston I was going to comment on the strong relationship between Lebron James and his mother Gloria James,yet the rumor mill has changed the dynamic of this topic. Fans of Lebron James were constantly searching for reasons why he didn't "bring out the BEAST" in game 5 which led to the eventual lost in Boston this past Thursday. Everything from his questionable elbow injury, to Lebron focusing too much in his team mates for support, to Lebron just not playing hard enough were the thoughts on most sports fans' minds.

However, the latest rumor that doesn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon accuses Gloria James and Cavs guard, Delonte West, of fooling around behind Lebron's back. It is my belief that instead of trying to make sense of a shocking loss to a (okay I'll say it) good team we should give it a rest. Not only do I think this rumor is total B.S. I feel the lives of celebrities are over-analyzed. When did the lives of celebrities turn into excessive speculation? Enjoying a sport and a player is one thing, but admiring them so much that the highs and lows of your life is fueled through their experiences is a shame.

I'll tell you one thing. The most important moment in the playoffs to me is after the Game 6 loss and Lebron congratulated the victors he walked off with poise, went up to his mother, gave her a kiss on the cheek and a hug. That doesn't seem like a man angry with his mom to me. Furthermore, I rarely see a game at home where the superstar's mother has not been present. Do people think that because she is a young black mother, that makes her permiscuous as well. Would she be so foolish that she would stoop to the level of sleeping with one of Lebron's good friends and team mates. Ridiculous.

In a sense if a star athlete is not winning every game and shows any signs of weakness, the public and media alike dehumanize this individual. Do we forget that with every strength their is a weakness? No one is perfect. And instead of obsessing why Lebron James and the Cavs lost a few games I'm going to go after my own dreams and live my own life. Cause damn it life is short and time waits for no man.

Freddy's Back and not playing games this time




There have been mixed reactions towards the latest Friday the 13th movie. Quite frankly some people have loved this film while others are quick to share their disdain for the film. However, it appears to be a reasoning behind these reviews.


While many of the younger generation who are unfamiliar with the Wes Craven saga may love this film and believe it to excude vicious and scary elements they have never experienced, the older 80's generation seem to not excude the same amount of satisfaction. I remember just a few months ago when the trailer first began to appear on television my 12 year old sister dispelling multiple ooohs and ahhs. To the younger generation this appears to be a new and great horror film.
Many people who recall the "old" Freddy say the new film lacks humor and the fun that the older Nightmare on Elm Street's had. That's just the problem. You can't compare the two films because there not the same. The updated version of Nightmare on Elm Street is parallel to what the Dark Knight did to the Batman adventures.

The old Nightmare on Elm Street was more teen horror comedy. The new Nightmare on Elm Street cuts out the cliche's, vicious jokes, and random girl topless scenes (sorry), and gives you a horror film like Friday the 13th or Halloween.
The old Freddy was kinda scary, but also had a cool and humorous side to him. The new Freddy has one goal and one goal only: to scare the shit out of you. But hey I'm just one person. Watch the new and old edition and tell me what you think. Holla!

Drake - Find Your Love (Official Video)

Drake - Find Your Love from VJ Bobo on Vimeo.



Drake's new single "Find Your Love" finally premiered its video last night. Although this definitely sounds like a beat that didn't make the cut on Mr.West's 808's...this is a good song nonetheless. In addition, I must admit that this video definitely outshines the song (or compliments it well). I like what Drake did with the direction of this video creating a interesting story with an ending that is up to the viewer to decide what really happens...check it out

My Chick BAD! (Says Obama...)





That's right! Earlier today, President Obama announced his selection Solicitor General Elana Kagan (pictured above) to become the nation's 112th justice of the supreme court to succeed the retiring Justice John Paul Stevens. However, Obama's selection of the new justice sparks some turmoil with political and judicial bandits alike seeing how she would be the first supreme court justice to have no prior judicial experience as a judge...and that's just to go top of the remarks about her current role as she resides being the first female dean of Harvard Law School (the same place Obama went to law school).

Although on paper Kagan may exemplify the perfect minority candidate for the job, others may look at Obama as having ulterior motives...seen making this nomination so that he can have an advocate to help his bills get passed through congress if they end up going to the higher courts. Which one is it? Is she a good candidate? Or is this just another way for Obama to ensure he gets his legislation? Or both? Let me know what you think...
