Random Thought

Something big has been stuck on my mind and will always is men. Why do men do certain things in life? I've been talking to this guy for a while and I mean I'm not dumb, I see him with other chicks and I hear chicks talk; homie has flocks of groupies. When I tell him to keep his groupies in check, he says (like all guys do), " I don't have groupies or girls, they're all just friends, you're the only person I'm messing with." I don't know if dudes think that girls live under a rock and they don't know the game, but we do. Fellas most chicks are like this; if you're not my man and we're just messing around and nothing else, why do you feel the need to lie? Even though I'm not dating you, that would make me so mad to know that you're lieing to me for no reason. So fellas explain to me why do you lie for small things?

My Top Artists For the Summer

Summer is in full affect and we all know the best thing about the summer is the music of course. We listen to all types of music that corresponds with our mood at the moment; love songs, depressed songs, party songs, hard core songs, etc. We also always have some top artists and songs that we always listen to on a daily bases. Like for instance, if I right now go on my IPod and look at my top 25 most played songs, this would be my list:

Pretty Wings - Maxwell

Part of the List - Ne-Yo

Make Me Over - Keyshia Cole

Green Light - Beyonce

Grub On - Trey Songz

Brand New - Trey Songz

La Tortura- Shakira

Upstairs - Trey Songz

Yo Side of the Bed - Trey Songz

Yes I know I listen to a lot of Trey Songz lol, but who doesn't. Now if you check your 25 most played on your IPod, would you be surprised on what it had on it. My brother always told me that you can always tell who a person is by checking their 25 most played songs; I really wonder if that's true....

Anyways, besides those songs, I always enjoy listening to couple of artists and their albums that I think everybody should be rocking to on their I Pod also.

Starting with my ultimate favorite that if you don't already have him on your IPod then you

should just jump off a cliff ( I'm just kidding), Trey Songz. His new album which came out last year so it's not that new anymore, 'Ready' is still must have. It has baby maker songs and songs that you can really relate to, and of course the club banger 'Say Ahhh'. Also while rocking to 'Ready,' everybody needs to have the mix-tape 'Anticipation'. Trey released 'Anticipation' a couple of weeks before the album to have us "anticipating" for 'Ready'; which I must say it had a lot of us doing just that. My favorite songs on the album are 'Black Roses' and 'Yo Side of the Bed';when I first heard 'Yo Side of the Bed' I cried and I think I just fell right back into love with Trey Songz (which I never even fell out of love with him so yea). So, be sure yall cop that :).

**SN: Trey Songz will be going on tour with Monica called the Passion,Pain,Pleasure Tour ( just sounds very sexy like Trey doesn't it),starting in August, so be sure to cop some tickets. Go to

treysongz.com (or just click on the link) to check him out in a city near you.

Drizzy Drake just dropped his debut album earlier this summer titled 'Thank Me Later' which I must say that we surely did. It was the album that we all were

waiting for since like2008 from Drake and he did deliver. It has all the songs that we have been rocking to from Drake like 'Find Your Love' and 'Over'; my favorites on the album I must say are 'Fireworks' featuring Alicia Keys and 'Thank Me Now'. Drake has songs featuring Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Jay-Z, Swizz Beatz, and The Dream. So, also if you don't have that make sure yall get the ASAP.

I'm happy to say that Eminem is back and in full affect. His new album is still on the top of the Billboard Charts and songs are just killer. 'Recovery' has like

song for almost everybody to relate to, and I think he really put his all on this one. My favorite song on the album would have to be Eminem's new song that is all over the radios 'Love the Way You Lie'; it's something that I can relate to so much it's amazing. This by far I believe Eminem's best album so go get it if you haven't yet.

Getting off of albums for a second now to tell yall about a mix-tape that I've been hooked on for

the past couple of weeks, 'Fan of a Fan' by Chris Brown and Tyga. Real good album, they even got everybody saying 'Deuces' which is also one of my ultimate favorite song off the mix-tape. It's a real hot mix-tape and it kinda shows Chris Brown in a more mature aspect I must say. You can download the mix-tape online :).

Through all the drama and bull that Rick Ross has been through this year, he has finally dropped his album 'Teflon Don'. Now I must say that I haven't copped the album yet, but

from what I've heard in my brother's car today, it's pretty good. It has a lot of people rocking and talking mad crazy about it. So while yall go and cop that, I'll be sure to go and cop it too.

Some other albums that yall should go and cop that I do love this summer are from B.O.B, Usher, Monica, and Wale. B.O.B. new album is called 'B.O.B. Present: The Adventure of Bobby Ray' which has my favorite song right 'Airplanes'. Usher new album titled 'Raymond vs. Raymond' really tops his last album thank

God. Wale's album 'Attention Deficit' still has me rocking to it til this day; hottest joints on the album to me are 'Freaks' and 'Pretty Girl'. Last but definitely not least, my girl Monica's album 'Still Standing' shows that she's back and she still got it; favorite song on the album of course is 'Everything To Me'. I just love her voice so much, I get chills when I hear her sing.

Some other artists that you should be rocking to on your IPod are Lady GaGa (cause we all go Gaga for some GaGa lol), Katy Perry, Pink, and Nicki Minaj (Cause it's Barbie Bitch!). Now you

can't go a single summer or day without listening to the beautiful Alicia Keys. She'll be gone for a while with a baby on the way, so we need to enjoy all the beautiful music that she has left us with so far. Lastly of course the new how ish on the block Mr. J. Cole. If you don't know who he is then you need to get up to date with this dude. He's like the next Drake. Check his new song out there 'Who Dat' and my favorite from 'Lights Please', they are some real bangers. I am sure yall will truly love this dude.

NFL News

Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed stated earlier this week that he will begin the season on the PUP (physically unable to perform) list which will keep him out for the first 6 games. If he stays on the PUP list when the season starts, his first game back will be against the Buffalo Bills on October 24. Reed had off-season hip surgery.

"I'm going to be on the PUP list for a minute, and I'm not letting them take me off like they did last time without telling me," Reed said Wednesday in an interview with 105.7 The Fan, according to the Times. "I'm just rehabbing. It's a slow process. I'm going to get out there when I feel good. I can't give you a date. I don't know."

Quarterback JaMarcus Russell has pleaded not guilty for possession of illegal drugs on Tuesday in Alabama.He has been charged with felony possession of a controlled substance, codeine syrup also known as sizzurp, lean, purple drank, whatever lol. Police has stated that he did not have prescriptions for them and that he was arrested on July 5th at his home during a undercover investigation; he was released on $25K bound.

The Oakland Raiders released Russell in May due to 3 very very disappointing seasons and also filed grievance on Russell to pay them back $9.55 million in which they paid him in advance for the 2010-2012 seasons.

Wide receiver Terrell Owens is unfortunately still a free agent and seeking for a team. Sad to say that I think he might as well just give up and find another day job.

Brett Favre still has not decided if he is coming back or not. Minnesota Vikings head coach Brad Childress met with Favre but still has not set a deadline for his decision. Favre injured his ankle during the NFC Championship game and had surgery on it. He again is working out with Oak Grove High School near his home to see if he is ready for another season. So, don't anticipate a decision until maybe when pre-season is almost over.

Titans fans can finally take a breather, Chris Johnson will making it to training camp this season. Johnson will be receiving $2.5 million this season under his new revised contract.

NBA News

New Orleans Hornets guard Chris Paul has requested a trade. He states that he wants tot go to a team that has a chance to win a title. On top of his list are the Orlando Magic, Portland Trailblazers, New York Knicks, LA Lakers, and the Dallas Mavericks; on top of his list are the New York Knicks who just signed Amar'e Stoudemire earlier this month. Paul fired his former agent earlier this off-season and hired LeBron James agents. Paul also stated that James' decision to go to Miami has really inspired him go to a team that already has the potential to win. Paul has two more years left on his contract so I personally don't think that this will happen any time soon.

Amar'e Stoudemire will not be trying out for the 2012 Olympics because of issues insuring his contract.

LeBron James, Chris Paul, and Dwyane Wade are set to visit Team USA for the Championship. All the players from the Redeem Team has all said no to play in the 2010 World Championship in Turkey. They all are still on the roster for the 2012 Olympic team. The roster has been cut from 22 to 20 and the boy Kevin Durant is on top of the leaders chart.

Tracy McGrady worked out for the Chicago Bull and are talks of signing with them. The only issue of the whole thing is T-Mac's health; the Bulls may not sign him due to health issues. The 31 year old is also in talks with the Clippers.

Guard Carlos Arroyo has agreed to sign with the Miami Heat and help them win the title. The Heat are soaring with sales in merchandises and tickets. Season starts in like 3 months.

NBA News

LA Lakers center Andrew Bynum has pushed back his knee surgery for July 28. He suffered a meniscus tear in his right knee during game 6 of the Playoffs against the Oklahoma City Thunder; he did miss a single Playoff game due to the injury. He has had the knee drained 3 times already, twice during the post season and once after the Lakers parade. Bynum says that he plan on working with the Lakers trainer after his surgery in LA and in Vancouver to get his core strength stronger so he can prevent more knee injuries in the near future.

Bynum has had a great season averaging 15 points and 8.3 rebounds per game. Unfortunately the 22 year-old has missed more than 90 games in the three seasons. Hopefully after this surgery and training he won't have anymore knee injuries any time soon in the future.

This week on twitter forward Matt Barnes tweeted that he will sign with the Toronto Raptors. The Raptors were trying to do a sign and trade with Magic to make things official, but unfortunately it did not happen due to the fact the Magic could not give the money that Barnes wanted so the whole deal flopped. Now Barnes is back on looking for another team and still in the running for Barnes are the Boston Celtics, Miami Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers, LA Lakers, and of course still the Toronto Raptors.

Barnes is a good player but he is too busy looking for the money instead of the wins. I guess to him if he wins a Championship along the way, then that's a bonus to him as long as his money is right. Barnes need to really chill out and let his game make the contract with the teams; when you play good teams will give you the contract that you deserve.

**P.S. to all the people that may think I'm hating, I'm not. I love Matt Barnes and I think that he's a really good player and I would love to have him on my team.

Even though Matt Barnes will not be coming back to Orlando next season, Magic fans should not worry at all. The Orlando Magic has went out and resigned guard J.J. Redick and acquired free agent forward Quentin Richardson.

The Miami Heat has finally signed Juwan Howard; he becomes the 12th player that Miami Heat has under contract this season and the 6th new face on the team. Howard said he thrilled that he finally gets to play with the Heat. For people that don't know, in 1997, the Miami Heat and Howard agreed to a 7 yr/ $100 million contract but was voided by the NBA because the Heat went over their salary cap.

So right now the Heat's new roster looks like this so far with Juwan Howard, Chris Bosh, Udonis Haslem, Joel Anthony, Jamaal Magloire, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, and rookie Dexter Pittman, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Mike Miller, Mario Chalmers, and James Jones. The next player that the Heat wants to get is guard Carlos Arroyo who started in 35 games for the Heat last season. I just hope that the Heat also sign rookie Da'sean Butler who the Heat drafted with the 42nd overall pick of the 2010 NBA Draft.

The New Big Three

There's a new big three in town, LeBron James, Chris Bosh, and Dwyane Wade. They all signed late last night and now the pen they signed with will be auctioned online. The contract has been set and LeBron and Bosh has signed a bigger contract than Wade. LeBron and Bosh contract are for 6 years and worth $110.1 million, while Wade's contract is 6 years and worth about $107.5 million.

LeBronsaid last night at the Welcome to Miami Party that it felt right to be wearing a Heat jersey and that he's going to show the world that the heat was on. He also has promised to bring Miami about like 7 titles; I'm just saying can we just start with 1? Bosh seems as if he just loves the city so much, he's been learning Spanish to role whit the big dogs out here in Miami; now he just needs to learn creole lol.

Now that the 3 KINGS signed their contract, the Heat must go out and finish signing others to complete the rest of the team. The Heat are now talking to Derek Fisher and they need to get Udonis Haslem back also. You can't have a Heat team without Miami native Udonis :( . Lastly, Eric Spoelstra will be Miami's head coach for next season and future; Pat Riley will not be coming back to coach, nobody wants Pat to come back and coach.

P.S. Cleveland I understand that it hurts so much to know that LeBron will not be playing for you guys next year, but grow up! It was going to happen eventually; he wants to win and unfortunately with Cleveland he didn't see it happening. Also when you hail someone as much as you guys did and put everything on his shoulders, he's going to leave to take the pressure off of him.

Personally I believe even though the Heat has LeBron, Wade, and Bosh they still have very big competition. The Lakers are still stronger and better than ever and the Chicago Bulls have been really pumping up their roster.

The Bulls just recently signed Carlos Boozer and Kyle Korver while they still have Derek Rose and Joakim Noah. The Lakers have the same roster but are working to get back Fisher and recently signed Stave Blake. So, to get that title the Heat must beat the Bulls and Lakers. Lets see what happens :) .

NBA Free Agency Part 3

As we all know unless you've been living under a rock, LeBron James is joining Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade in Miami. LeBron announced his choice last night on ESPN, which didn't make a lot of people happy. Miami fans of course were so excited about the news while other places, not so much. Knicks fans were very disappointed while Cavs fans took it way overboard. Cavs owner wrote a real long letter to the fans of Cleveland and wrote how he felt; fans were so mad that they started burning LeBron's jersey also.

Me being a Heat fan, I'm very excited but also sad because to afford Bosh, Wade, and James, the Heat had to trade Michael Beasley :(... it hurt so much to hear the news. I just hope Beasley comes back when his contract is over.

Now the Heat have to agree on new deals for each player and sign the rest of the team. The only person on the current roster is only Mario Chalmers. Also if you are currently living in Miami, the Heat will be having a party at the AAArena for free for all fans.

In other news, David Lee was traded to the Golden State Warriors for 6 yr/80 mill.

I will definitely keep yall posted on the whole signing deals with Wade, Bosh, and James.

MIAMI IS STILL WADE COUNTY!!!
