Lebron James. Don't act like you don't know who he is.
Lebron got drafted first overall in 2003, the second NBA draft I ever watched. Darko Milicic, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh, and Dwayne Wade followed in what could be (aside from Darko) the best top five picks in one draft.
I was initially anti-Lebron due to the fact that he skipped college and went straight to the pros. That year he won a Rookie of the Year award he didn't deserve. It should have ended in a two way tie between two players not named Lebron. Dwayne Wade and Carmelo Anthony both took their teams to the playoffs after each team had been just as futile as the Cavaliers in previous years.
After a few years my stance on Lebron softened. I started to agree that he was on his way to becoming one of the greatest players ever. My friend, LostOne is a big Lebron fan. Last season we bought tickets to the Cavs vs. Nets game in March. I personally feel that basketball is very boring to watch in person, but when Lebron is on the court that is not the case. He was such a fascinating player to watch.
The summer of 2010, based on public perception, was where we all witnessed his "turn to the darkside." Everyone's eyes were on where the top free agents in the NBA were going. Lebron decided to join Wade on Bosh. I was outraged mainly because he spurned the chance of reviving basketball in New York City (which happened anyways without the help of Lebron James, So f*ck you Lebron!). But I felt it diluted the amount talent spread in the NBA. The NBA would now be top heavy, as if it weren't a problem already. Only 5 or 6 teams of the 16 that qualify for the playoffs have a legitimate shot at the NBA title.
The 2010-11 NBA season has not played out that way. The Heat will no win 70 game and with the help of a slump or tough stretch, may not win 60. There are so many teams that can make it to the Finals from each conference.
Back to Lebron. You can love him or hate him. You can also do both like I do. There is so much to watch in the NBA that any nationally televised game is worth watching.
This past summer I met someone that told me he hated Michael Jordan. Maybe in a few years I'll meet somebody and be the first to tell them I don't give a shit about Lebron.

I want to transfer to Blue Mountain State!
Blue Mountain State, BMS, or as I call it the best show I never knew about. Somehow unnoticed here in the US, my friend Misha keep telling me about how much he watched it in Geneva, Switzerland. Misha urged me to watch it. I've seen promos on TV but dropped it into that "I think I'd like this show, but don't have time to watch" category. Well, when a show's on a channel that I usually don't watch before 2am (Manswers is the shit!), you usually miss shows like that.
Luckily, it was on my Netflix so I decided to give it a look. I watched one episode and was hooked. Alex Moran is such a great character. Moran is a middle achiever (not an overachiever or underachiever, much like I am lol!). He's a second string quaterback and never wants to start. He lives off the fact the he can get into parties and get girls just because he's on the football team.
Thad Castle, the teams linebacker is The Show. He's team captain and find ridiculously funny ways to carry that title. The coach is also really funny and the surprisingly still sexy Denise Richards plays his ex-wife. Sammy, the team's mascot and best friend to Alex who's quest to get laid by cheerleaders is as comical as many 80's and 90's quest to get laid movies.
Blue Mountain State is one of my favorite shows now and will be for as long as it remains on the air. This show continues to touch the ridiculousness bar and crosses many lines. If you have Netflix it's worth taking a look. Everyone I know who has watch it has become a fan.

Charlie Sheen: Role Model?
Charlie Sheen plays one of my favorite characters on TV. You know him as Charlie on Two and Half Men. I know him as that and also as the son of Martin Sheen and the brother of "Coach Bombay" himself, Emilio Estevez.
Today Sheen was caught in a compromising position that is not uncommon with things he'd done in the past. He was caught with cocaine and another porn star. The porn star's name is Kacey Jordon, if any of you freaks want to look her up and see her work. Another porn star was at the scene, Melanie Rios.
If you recall, Sheen was named as one of Heidi Fleiss' clients in her prostitution case in the early nineties. He's a father of two children with the still ever so-sexy Denise Richards. He recently divorced Brooke Mueller.
What he is doing is very self destructive, but for some reason I find Charlie Sheen to be a very fascinating person. Would I say he's a role model? Probably not, I do know if at 45 I want to be snorting coke or partying with porn stars. Well the second thing doesn't sound like a bad idea. But at the same what he's doing isn't too far off from what 21 year old would do to comfort a breakup: Crack a few lokos or other alcoholic beverage and party and possibly have sex with a couple easy girls.
I'm not giving a pass to Charlie Sheen, but I feel that he should cope with his breakup in a much more positive way such as spending time with his daughters.
UPDATE: Charlie Sheen has checked into rehab. Read More Here

Super Bowl XLV-Steelers vs. Packers
Living in Pittsburgh, you hear these idiots talk say ridiculous things such as "We're the greatest franchise in the NFL because we have 6 Super Bowls and we're getting 7, two more than anybody else." In response to that I say this: You have 6 NFL Championships and you're going to face the greatest NFL franchise in Dallas at Super Bowl XLV. The Green Bay Packers have won 12 NFL titles 3 more than the team they beat on the way to the Super Bowl, the Chicago Bears. As a matter of fact, if the Steelers win the Super Bowl, they will have as many championships as my favorite team, the New York Giants. I wonder Steelers think they have the most championships out of pure ignorance or the fact that that franchise hadn't done shit in their first forty years of existence.
But at the same time this is not a post to bash Steelers because some of my best friends rock the Black & Yellow. This is about displacement of history. The Super Bowl has been around for only 45 years, the NFL and most of their franchises have been around for 90 plus years. So half of the NFL's history should be discounted because it did not include a game with a shitload of commercial and 45 minute long halftime show? I don't think so.
Game Preview
You have two really good QB's in Aaron Rodgers and Ben Rapelisberger...(ehem) I mean Roethlisberger. Two solid defenses. I think this could be one of the greatest Super Bowls ever. Halftime will suck so that will be a good time to go to the bathroom or re-up on food. Final score will be Green Bay 21 Pittsburgh 14

Love over Money
Marcy R just informed of the abundance of "bitties" that live I'm our dorm. I responded "f*ck these broads, I'm getting money" I mean it ain't like girls are looking for a cool guy as they claim. They want androgynous dudes or dicks. Neither of those two am I or any of my friends. So I'm asking ladies to respond to This truthfully on what you are really looking for in a guy and dudes respond by letting us know what's higher on your priority list love/girls or money?
