1.) Well Miami is back at it again. First things first: I am not a fan of paying players. 1.) because people are looking at one piece of the player paying pie. You pay one you have to pay them all. That includes those lovely ladies. So that being said the real reason why Miami players can't keep out of trouble is because they're 18-24 year old athletes IN MIAMI. Give'em a break at least they weren't...well I take that back they did everything under the sun. At least they turned out to be upstanding citizens right? Some of them? Okay bottom line for those who think they wouldn't have done some of the same things quit fooling yourself. I know some who would have hopped a yacht, taken a few benefits, and, sadly, would have met up with Teddy Dupay and his "friends." But lets face it, they were young college guys in a town that doesn't necessarily promote going home and catching the latest episode of "Community." That being said I don't condone what was done. I just don't see the point in all the uproar. If we really want to point fingers check out the administration and coaches in pictures hamming it up with the ponzi schemer.
2.) Earthquake mania took over the East Coast this week. I for one wasn't expecting that little natural disaster but it didn't take long for the jokes about it to come pouring in. What I was waiting for were the insane accounts by individuals of the earthquake and darn it all if I didn't get my wish!
I think the best point he made was how the world definitely isn't getting any younger. You sir are correct. And let me be the first to say do not miss out on that cool Nintendo shoelace necklace trend that is sure to jump off after this video.
2.) On to politics where President Obama was recently zinged by Mitt Romney for being "out of touch" for taking a vacation to Martha's Vineyard instead of working in Washington or taking a more low key vacation. Going as far as saying "I wish he would have gone somewhere else."On the heels of these comments it was announced he would be bulldozing a significant portion of his $12 million dollar California mansion and expanding it because it is no longer adequate for his family needs. Can I just emphasize that I am a firm believer in people doing whatever it is they want with their own money (President Obama did pay for his week long jaunt in Massachusetts). But if you're gonna call a guy out of touch for dropping 50K on a week long vacation you might want to hold off on the multi-million dollar house work until a few months down the road. Let those zingers simmer a little bit.
4.) Finally Steve Jobs cried uncle and stepped down as CEO of Apple this week. While I personally have never owned a device outside of the Ipod made by Apple I can tell you that Mr. Jobs as a businessman and an innovator is a genius. Whatever health issues that are ailing him I wish him the best and count me as an admirer of the things he has done to bring Apple from the depths to one of the greatest companies on the planet. If you have the time (which I hope you do) check out the commencement address he gave at Stanford in 2005 below.
In honor of the forthcoming hurricane I decided to go with Dexy's Midnight Runners "Come On Eileen." Yes the Hurricane's name is Irene but it doesn't have to know that.
Okay cooler music!
