Haters will Hate redux

As I mentioned before, the world is full of hater sleeper cells. They hide underground waiting for the next opportunity to cause chaos.

The government's issues with steroids has been recently focused on two New York Yankees in Pettitte and Clemons. Young Hank Steinbrenner can't take the heat so he started blaming.

"Everybody that knows sports knows football is tailor-made for performance-enhancing drugs. I don't know how they managed to skate by. It irritates me. Don't tell me it's not more prevalent. The number in football is at least twice as many. Look at the speed and size of those players."

Football already has been in front of Congress, and they had policy in place from the beginning. Straight Hatin!!!!!

Election Update

McCain has secured is bid for the GOP. He is already starting to campaign against Obama. The GOP will unite against Hillary, but will fracture in an election against Barack. His strategists have already identified this and begun acting accordingly.

Hillary must win Texas and Ohio in order to continue. Obama has dominated the Midwest and Ohio will probably be no different. I think that Texas would rather not vote for a girl or a black guy. But since their god holds a football and bruthas have lead them to the promise land on the field, they will vote for Obama.

Haters will Hate

A wise man once said that he only tells people one third of what he's doing. That way, they can hate, only on that 1/3rd. W1, can't you relate? You always had a few haters to deal with at any given time. Are you hater free now? Nonetheless, it has been interesting to see so many companies partner with Yahoo in order to keep them from Microsoft. I guess the enemy of my enemy is a friend concept is being played out live and in the flesh. Every software, web type of company is doing their best to prevent the merger. Newscorp, AOL, Google are the biggest three conspirators but there are a lot of underground conversations being had as well. All of the MS haters are trying to coax Yahoo into maintaining their sovereignty.

The High Definition DVD battle is now over. Why? Because Best Buy and Walmart said so. This is something to take a note of. The specification of choice was decided by the Channel and not the customer. When businesses make decision, it usually has to do with profit and not the consumer. So basically we as consumers sat back and allowed the most expensive DVD format to win. Ignorance is bliss, and also expensive. This is scary. When the channel has influence on the development, this usually spells doom for the consumer.

The Z-man has cometh.

You know what? I really like the hiring of Jim Zorn. He represents what my principles are. The main reason why I like him is that the first thing he did was went and hired two brutha's as his coaches(with one of them being named Stump). That's really cool and something that you would do. He will get along with his players and put Clinton Portis in a situation to do what Shaun Alexander did. Hi is a really good guy, smart and likable. I wrote a post on this before about being smart and likable. I am rooting for him because he is seen as under qualified but in reality he may be the best because of his intangibles.

PETA wishes they could do this

This was an interesting article. 80 people died from a suicide bomb blast at an dog fight in Afghanistan. These bombings are sad. I can see the purpose in a situation where there is no hope or oppression like on the Gaza strip. I just don't respect it when used as a conventional weapon.
And you you thought PETA tactics were harsh!

I wouldn't normall mention this topic on this blog, but I had to because the article specifically mentions Michael Vick in it. The NFL is still after his money.

Is dogfighting worse than the are young rich females showing their private parts on camera?

Michael K. Williams as Omar

There is a nice article in Hiphopdx.com about the actor who plays Omar. Like most of the actors on the show, he is a quite impressive individual. He is a well trained actor and even mentions some specific technical aspects of character layer development.

DX: In terms of how complex of a character Omar is, on the one hand he says “Omar don’t scare,” but then we see him in jail and he looks really shook …
MKW: Hell yeah, Hell yeah. [Laughs] Let me tell you something… The line between fiction and reality is very thin. That was a real prison that we shot in and it was a room of 100 some odd extras banging on the walls saying they wanted to do all these evil things. At one point it just felt real, the cameras weren’t even there and a lot of energy was in the room, and it was just a weird feeling. I’ve never been in a prison in my life, so for me to be in there and to have all these people who I’ve maimed or robbed or hurt in some way, now they want to kill me. It was like putting a deer in a water full of alligators. And to have Donnie there and to look in his eyes and see something being brought to life in him… ‘Cause you know the scene after Omar shanks the dude in his ass and I leave the scene, right? So we did a couple takes of that, and I could feel it escalating. I would [usually] get off the set ‘til they called me to tape it again, but one take I said “Mike, just stop short and turn around and just embrace the scene,” and I turned around and Donnie was sitting in the middle of all them dudes, a sea of lions, and he had that knife and he was picking his nails with the shank and he looked like, “I’ll eat all y’all” it was just a look, real cool, almost like when a tsunami hit and all the water disappears, that real calm moment? He had that look on his face, and I could see that “I don’t ever wanna go there,” that look in his eyes was a very dark place. He’s a strong individual to be able to come back into that light from the darkness where he’s been. So there was a lot of energy in that prison that day.
