So, I apologize in advance. That title came to me while I was sitting on my couch with writer’s block and it sounded awesome. Unfortunately, this isn’t about them at all. Drake’s track “Over” is dope however.  People are going to hate on it, abuse the song and quote it in every Facebook status and text message signature, but it is propelling Drake to superstar status (officially when that album actually drops).  Kobe Bryant is the best player in the NBA. And this is the best blog ever. My mom said so. Actually, I just found a way to tie this all together!

People are going to love or hate both Kobe and Drake. Today the Lakers were down by 2 in a match against the Orlando Magic. Laker ball. Kobe dribbles up court with 9 seconds. Does his usual juke, gets an open shot, and like numerous times before he was about to make the buzzer beater to tie the game up. Unfortunately he missed the shot. We lost the game. But you know what? He’s still the greatest. He’s still Kobe. He’s still going to go back out there next game and be the top team in the West. Win or lose. Game winning buzzer or fouling out. He’s Kobe.

And Drake? Like his new song says,

“What am I doing? What am I doing? Oh yeah that’s right, I’m doing me. I’m doing me. I’m living life right now and this is what Ima do til it’s over.”

That’s really what this unusually short post is about. I have some exciting things going on this week in DC which means I didn’t really have time to write a more meaningful post. But alas, as always, there is still a message. Don’t get too caught up in your online life, your blog, how many twitter followers you can get, how many people ‘like’ your Facebook status, etc. Remember that your online persona does not often translate into real world success. So in order to further my real world success I had to handle business in our nation’s capital. My online life will be fine with a week off.

Get outside and enjoy your life! It’s supposed to be a relatively beautiful week if you’re in DC this week.

You’ve probably read my post on why Aaron McGruder is That Dude. The main reason was because he gave unto us the gift that is The Boondocks. For Boondocks fans, the intro is as recognizable as The Fresh Prince theme song to everyone else.

The Boondocks hits the best issues. The idiocy of “Stop Snitching”? Check. And while it’s funny, it does tend to have a pretty good message.

Huey Freeman, ladies and gentleman. Crushing the hopes and dreams of children everywhere. The fact that you forget Huey is a little kid because of his speeches and how smart he is, is a testament.

And it’s downright entertaining! Samuel L. Jackson as a white dude? Hilarious! Tom DuBois as Usher? Oh goodness.

I know what you’re thinking, “The Boondocks has been off for quite some time now.” Fear not, on May 2nd this goodness will return in full effect. That’s right. Mr. McGruder himself gave the official word! May 2nd. Set your TiVo, DVR, video camera in front of your TV, whatever. Just THINK of all the material he has to work with right now. This season is going to be awesome. You saw how Aaron McGruder went in on BET last season. He brought Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. back to life in one episode, covered the trial of R. Kelly in another, had Riley attacking mall Santas, and attempted to kidnap Oprah all in Season ONE!

And on an unrelated note, you know how black love is just the most beautiful thing in the world? Two of the most amazing people I know are getting married soon. They’re both in grad school right now and we all know higher education is expensive. Weddings are also expensive. Thank God for wedding contests! So please, pretty please, with whatever you want on top, take less than 2 minutes and vote for them. All it takes is your email address. VOTE HERE! Greatly appreciated.
