Pimps Up… Blogs Down

ESPN has deemed this dunk as the ‘dunk of the year’ but I’m deeming it as the most disrespectful dunk in history! Why? At first it may just look like a normal thunderous dunk but what you don’t see at first glance is the seer disrespect Amare shows. As Amare flys high over Golden State’s–who cares what his name is…in mid air, Amare decides to take it to another level and rub dudes bald head. Word son??!!! You just going to dunk on me and rub my head in mid air? Take a look:

Ok watching Idol last night really got me thinking (yes I watch Idol, deal). I feel like I’m a pretty multi-talented person. I sincerely feel like I can do a lot of things well but I think the one thing I can’t do is sing. Now don’t get me wrong your boy can carry a tune…BUMP THAT I CAN SING!!! No I can’t. The weird thing about it is that people tell me I look like I can sing (I know, I know the people always tell me thing). I kinda feel like God is playing with my emotions. I mean he gave me the moves. Ohhh yes your boy is light on his feet. You know how hard it is to be able to get these long lims moving all in the same direction on BEAT. It’s a skill, a skill few big men have. I mean you saw the East’s attempt at choreography at All-Star weekend…I’m a man among boys in this category. I’m blessed. I think the big man upstairs just may have forgotten to give me the voice. I honestly think it was an oversight. I mean even God has an off day, right? I mean ‘78 was a great year. I think about it. I Kobe Bryant, Ashton Kutcher, OchoCinco, ME…it was a busy year!! So I’m trying figure how to go about telling him he forgot something. He should understand don’t you think? I mean he is the all powerful Oz. I wonder how he takes criticsm? I’ll let you know how it goes. Seacrest out. :-/

I have come to realize that there are some people that when posed with a simple question, they for some reason, feel the need to respond with simple said, way too much information. A how are you doing, how is your day been is reciprocated with a life’s synopsis. For example, the following email EXCERPT has been taken from an email where I asked ‘weird guy’ if he cold because he was wearing a lot of layers and a hat at the dentist. Don’t ask why he has my email address I guess that is just networking gone wrong. Enjoy.

You asked a good question…I was wearing the wool hat last couple of years simply because I was growing my hair. I have now recalled that my Tai Chi master stressed repeatedly that in TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) the first line of defense for winter is ears covered. It is initially annoying to have the wool hat. Thereafter I get totally used to it.

Between ‚Äúthe doctors we have and the ‚Äúmeds” we have” and a wool hat… Wool hat seems so much more attractive.

Qigong and Tai Chi are more tricky than I imagined. The trickery is that it works too well… When the vibe changes quickly the body and mind are not necessarily able to catch up as quick. Qigong as in Wild Goose is meant to be a 30 year training path from young. It is like you experience a winter every time you do it. Lots of qi is generated and accumulated. It would seems like the best compromise and line of defense would be the woolen hat for colder weather. I do believe that in the long run the learning would be deeper and eventually the vulnerability would subside. The whole ‚Äúopinion” of cold is becoming a dominant unlearning and relearning in Tai Chi. Qi is lots of ‚Äúcold” to the mind even on a hot day. That double cold coupled with amplified opening of the chest and breathing pathways is out of the ordinary…

It is like entering a whole new domain and new life. In most Western med as it is until now, qi is sickness. Feeling alive has been suppressed. The absurd. Suddenly you learn to relate differently to pain, cold, hot, movement, gravitation. read more »
