Big Baby

May 12th, 2009 by Reggie

So this video is hilarious only because Glen “Big Baby” Davis hits the game winning shot and then pushes a young twelve year old court-side spectator out of the way.

The boy’s father wants an apology.

Fuck you. There’s your apology.

Ok, maybe an apology isn’t asking too much. haha.

The NBA Playoffs this year have been nothing short of specatacular.

Obama in OC

Whoever thought Obama would come to your hometown and speak? Well, it happened. He came to Costa Mesa, California where I have grown up my whole life, for a town hall meeting and also spoke. People were lining up two days before just to see him. I dont know how they got in. There were rumors that you had to buy tickets, and other rumors that the first 1,000 people would get in to see him. (They actually gave tickets just to the people who were camping out.) It’s unbelieveable the love people have for this guy. It makes you so inspired to see it.

He was speaking at 4 PM at the Orange County Fair Grounds in an enclosed building. I got there around 4:15 just to see the scene. I already knew I wasnt getting in. The surrounding streets were all closed off with cops patrolling like crazy. Anyone who tried to walk in was being stopped. There were some people leaving being stopped and told to get off the sidewalk. We stood on the other side of the street, with a crowd of supporters and haters, where 2 cops on motorcycles were making sure people could not enter. If you got past the cops, you were greeted by a big black Secret Service agent (haha). We thought about going over just to talk to the guy, but decided not to risk being beaten with sticks. There were like 20 buses barricading the side of the fairgrounds’ parking lot.

The crowd was filled with mostly Obama supporters. Everyone was happy just to be out there showing their love, but a small few (about 10) were protesting with their crappy homemade signs against Obama. But the love overruled the hate. Anytime they would yell, other people would come back with something more intelligent to counter act the stupid remarks made by the protestors. Pretty funny and entertaining to see. One old woman with a spanish accent, holding a “stop illegal immigration” sign, kept saying “you’re all going to eat shit.” Funny how a Spanish woman would be yelling that with an accent! The people really had nothing intelligent to say showing why Obama was not a good candidate for office. Typical.

I left around 5, got home and then I heard the helicopters. I looked out my window and saw a huge black and white helicopter followed by 2 army helicopters. It was amazing just to think he was so close and I could have seen him. No president has ever had the effect on the country as Obama.

Tina Davis?!

March 10th, 2009 by Reggie

Tina Davis put the moves on an impressionable sixteen year old Chris Brown, three years ago. Despite being with Rihanna, it’s clear that on the night of the Grammy’s Brown preferred Davis’ loving. That’s one hell of a manager. I want that kind of personal attention to detail, I mean representation.

Chris Brown was rushing Rihanna the night of the Grammy’s to go fool around with his manager Tina Davis, who will be 40 this month. Rumor has it that Brown and his manager have been sexually involved since he was 16. Both Brown and Davis deny this rumor because of the Statutory Rape charge implications. The officer who arrived at the scene said the woman who sent Brown the text messages was someone with whom he had been previously sexually involved. He gathered this information when he read the text message presumably after Rihanna told him that’s what set her off. He had to read it to fill out the report and explain what might have caused her to get so badly beaten.

It was Davis who sent Brown the text message that made Rihanna hit and slap him, and he retaliated by punching her repeatedly in the face.

I was really hoping the girl was some exotic brunette from a foreign country. Nothing’s worth beating up a girl, that’s just how I feel, but it would’ve been more understandable to me that Chris Brown was trying ditch Rihanna to go meet up with some Adriana Lima look-a-like. Not a Wanda Sykes look-a-like. To each his own. Rihanna, I’ll stand under your umbrella anytime you want.

Here’s a youtube video of Chris Brown’s Manager:

Wearable Drugs

March 7th, 2009 by Reggie

A 66 year old Chilean man was caught yesterday in Spain trying to smuggle Cocaine in the form of a cast.

It makes me wonder.

Ever wish you had a company where your Research and Development department’s budget was unlimited? Ever wanted to work for a company that was okay with you failing, but every little success paid astounding dividends?

If this is what you seek, you ought to join the drug trade.

No other economic arena routinely fails in the ingenuity department, yet continues to thrive financially.

Allow me to illustrate what I mean.

1. Mules–Some will get caught, but most will make it through. The reward is too juicy not to take the risk. And with so much product and money to throw around what’s a few ten thousands?

I love the show “Locked Up Abroad” on the National Geographic channel because it tells the stories of people who got caught smuggling drugs in foreign countries. The thing is the authorities don’t bust people regularly. They’re lucky to catch people. So these drug dealers freely take chances by having (several) people smuggle drugs and as shown by this futile on going war on drugs they clearly have a success rate that’s better than their failure rate.

2. Manufacturing — It’s widely known that Cocaine can be processed into a paste/clay-like substance making it possible to take on the forms of common items like toys, candy, jewelery and sculptures.

“They caught the girl with the fake candy.”
“How?”
“She was being searched. Some of the pieces of candy broke and the customs agent wanted to try it, so the girl let her. The customs agent had a heart attack. A second one came and tried it, same thing happened. That’s when they knew it wasn’t candy.”

3. Anything is fair game

If you brainstormed a list of ways to get drugs into foreign countries using humans flying on commercial airlines, your most absurd suggestions would actually make it to the testing phase.

“Why don’t we try to make cocaine makeup?”
“Ladies powdering their noses. I like that.”

“Deodorant.”
“Smells like success.”

“Detergent.”
“Helps with the laundering.”

“Lotion.”
“Easier to get it in.”

“Dead babies.”
“The live ones make too much noise. Way too suspicious.”

“A cast.”
“That’s my kind of broken promise.”

And that’s only what I came up with. There are way more creative people actually working on this, coming up with ideas that wipe mine off the board.

What a weird job market that has to be for chemists, inventors and designers in countries like Peru, Bolivia and Colombia. You have the chance to be set for life, always work with no budget and basically make any idea you want feasibly come to life. The only problem is you can only use one ingredient.

What would you do?
