31

As a basketball player, coach, and a fan, I hope this blog comes across as many aspiring hoopstars as possible. Because tonight, the entire world watched one of the best shooting guards to ever play this game take his last shot tonight of his 18 year career with the Indiana Pacers. Reggie Miller was the last of the superstars of the 80's that made this game so exciting. At 6'7 and 190 lbs (on a full stomach and soaken wet) , Miller shot perfect text book jumper one right after another. He was the testament of fundamentals and determination. A lot of people and NBA fans will remember every breath taking shot that won a game, or scared the hell out of you, especially if you are a Knicks fan. But what I want the next generation of ball players to know about him, is his will to show up everyday, go hard, and make himself better againist all odds. I want them to take in the fact that on draft night when his name was called and not Steve Alford's, how the Pacer fans booed and cursed all night. How he played hard every night and didn't back down wether you were Kobe Bryant, Micheal Jordan, or Micheal Cooper. Or how he played every second of every game down to the buzzer as if it was his last. True fans of the game saw him score 11 points in 45 seconds in a game that they should have lost to the Knicks , but his will and desire was always there. So thanks Reggie for all the memories. There will never be another like you to grace the hardwood. For someone who was not even supposed to be good as his older sister, you were a hell of a ball player to be feared and respected. Hopefully, in your retirement you'll take Charles Barkley out to the gym and show him how you kept the weight off.

Musical Orgasims

If I hear one more so called love making cd full of R. Kelly, and songs that have nothing to do with love, I'm gonna scream. Lets get one thing clear, if your not in love then it's sex. Or fucking for those of you who care even less other than getting that nut and getting on to Waffle House. So here are a few simple rules, and a right and wrong way to make your cd. First, don't label your cd for the whole world to see. If thats your special someone then why the hell does everyone need to see shyt like "Babymaking, Get Da Draws, Caress My Body" on the outside. Thats a special time with a special person. Get a solid color cd that only you and the person know whats on it. Secondly, don't put songs on that cd that you would have to puyt on a condom just to listen too. If its thats serious, don't use any music and just curse and scream in each others ear. You'll get the same effect, I promise. Lastly, be creative, try remixes, extended mixes, artists that make good music but not be as popular (i.e. Van Hunt), and songs with substance. The lyrics in songs can be just as much of a turn-on as the music alone.

THE WRONG WAY:

1. Call Me-Too Short and Lil Kim
2. Look Into My Eyes-Some Misc. Nigga
3. Knocking Boots -H Town
4. Seems like You're Ready-R. Kelly
5. Freak Me Baby-Silk
6. Anywhere-112
7. Sexual Healing-Marvin Gaye
8. My Body-LSG
9. Between The Sheets-The Isley Brothers
10. I Know What You Want-Avant
11. Sex Me-R. Kelly
12. Anytime, Anyplace-Janet Jackson
13. Straight Fuckin'-Tyrese
14. The Greatest Sex-R. Kelly
15. Sex In The Kitchen-R. Kelly

Review:
#1,2-Thats just not good for any love making cd.
#3,4,5-These are on everyone's cd.
#7,9,12-Can't go worn with classics, but see above.
#6,8,10-Generic songs by groups who can do much better.

THE RIGHT WAY:

1. Beautiful-Tweet
2. Speechless-Beyonce

5. So High-John Legend
6. I Just Wanna Get Next To You-Christion
7. Lay Your Head On My Pillow-Toni, Tone, Tony
