Jim Rome had a rant about an annoying sports fanatic which he refered to as "Softball Guy" I have provided the video
The more I listened I realised that I may not be actual "softball guy" but some of the elements sounded very familiar to me.
For instance him talking about the fact that softball guy always goes hard on every play because he "plays the game the right way" is definitely me all the way. I don't play softball but if I did i'm sure I'd be the one sliding hard into 2nd base trying to break up the double play and probably wouldn't give a damn about the 37 yrs old guy breaking his orbital bone.
Now what I do play is basketball and while everyone else thinks that it's about fade-aways, jumpers, and dunking. I believe that it's hell in the hole, you don't bring that pretty boy going to the basket crap in my house. In fact, I'll tell you straight up, everything within a certain distance to the goal is mines. You cross that line and you infringing upon my space.
I'm nudging people in the stomach, putting a body on them, using my size to create space, going upside your head. The whole 9. Not neccesarily playing dirty but just playing very physical.
I'm also sooo into playing the game the "right way". I'm not going soft at all. I could be playing against a man, woman, child, boy, girl, mentally/physically handicapped. I'm playing the same way. I'm not going to patronize you by playing any other way. That's just how I roll

Since none of you were going to graduate anyway you are hereby expurgaged!!!
I'm writing this under the premise that people actually read this joint (which they probably don't) but just in case I'm doing it anyway. The Four-um is down a writer technically making it a threesome now...and considering that it's with Alesha and Meagan, one that I'm glad to be a part of and it also makes thing uncomplicated.LOL
Nothing like a little sexual/infidelity humor to lighten up the mood
So which writer was it? Well I just said that Meagan and Alesha form the new threesome and I'm writing right now so that only leave Jeremy...who used to be Jeremiah but at some point ceased being Jeremiah and became Jeremy
Long story short...boy meets girl......boy gets played out by girl...boy gets lonely and bitter...boy needs to kill himself
If it makes any (potential) readers feel better. We need another writers. It could be one of you...for the sake of the P.O.V of it being friends I have someone in mind but stay tuned.

Shot across the bow
If you haven't figured it out yet I have absolutely 0 interest in having a talk with you. We have nothing to talk about. I have not acted inappropriately as far as the allegations brought against me my only crime is listening to said statements but I did not solicit them or provoke them. In fact i explicitly stated numerous times that I didn't want to hear them because it was how mess gets started. I had a feeling some mess like this would happen and that why I kept the facebook msg so I could wash my hands of this mess.
I'm truly disappointed in you Jeremy. I really am. After all the stuff that transpired while we where at State I thought we had salvaged our friendship and that both of us had matured...or at least came to an understanding. Once again you have fallen victim to the same emotions that got you in trouble the last time. You got caught up in things that I said or as I refer to it "AJ being AJ" back then yea I made fun of Cyrus but I never crossed you like that, I wasn't the one who kicked you out of an apt or said horrendous things behind your back when you considered me a friend.
Now we back to square one, I might joke around with you a bit but I don't cross you, i don't put you on blast. I dont' go on facebook and/or blogs trying to drag your name in the dirt.
As for my alleged mistreatment of females call it what you want. I know how to manage personalities. I know what I can and cannot say and/or do to females... SN: The female you called yourself taking up for is the same one who copied and pasted the msg and sent it to me
Anyways, the point I'm trying to make is you really need to learn to stop letting your emotions take control. Yeah I stumbled unto some information that I'd probably rather much not have had but ain't like I just went and threw you under the bus and/or told everybody who would listen for the most part I kept it to myself
But..it is what it is...in the words of Tony Montana. I stayed loyal to you Jeremiah, I made a few jokes on the side but I never turned on you and I especially never put you on blast on the internet in front of your peers and encouraged them to stop dealing with me. You speak of my actions but what about that...who gets on the internet and calls someone foul to their female friend and more imporantly their girlfriend
What you fail to realize is that I'm the one with the political capital and the favorably. You're going to lose this battle Jeremy. I'm going to tell you what you're going to do and if you're smart you will do it
You will...
1. Cease and Desist all activites that reflect negatively on me
You had better not try to put me on blast in anyway shape or form this includes on the internet or even to someone that we know. I better not even here of you telling it to someone I don't know.
2. Not say anything at all if you don't have anything good to say
...Or at least not ill, a simple refusal to comment will suffice
3. Not contact Meagan via txt msg, phone call, facebook nothing
She's not very high on you, she's not your friend she's mine...same goes for Vanessa
4. Attempt to contact and/or communicate with me through third parties or unofficial channels
What you can do is...
1. Respond to this msg
Eveyone deserves a shot to clarify the situation at least once..doesn't matter what you say..heck you might even be forgiven if it's compelling enough...but if you don't want to show the peace branch that's fine to. Just speak your peace and promptly bow out from "The Four-um"
2. Acknowledge me when you see me
It would be pretty whack if we didn't acknowledge each other
Non-compliance with these terms will result in the ending of your social life as you know it...I'm serious, you won't be able to go somewhere without being laughed at especially at State or in the presence of our acquintances. I will start a personal campaign against you in which no punches will be pulled and everything will be fair game.
In conclusion I'm not the bad guy here, you're the one who drew first blood. Nobody feels sorry for you. Nobody is on your side but if these are my last words to you then here is one of my favorite bible quotes and my personal policy on life, friendships and relationships though I do wanna lecture a lil bit
Alesha is a bit of a tool sometimes, she fronted like she didn't like me for about a year and she was with other dudes. Looked past it,her love is true and I love her all the same
Meagan didn't always treat me the best, she fronted on me and wouldn't give me the time of day for years on and was a bit of an opportunist at times and held back her feelings til it was too late. Her feelings for me are true, she's a good woman, and I consider her a good friend
You acted scary, brash and came off as an a-hole from time to time and even judgemental. I felt as though I was one of the few people who actually understood you. I would go to war for you when people talked about you behind your back. I don't want trophy but I knew that you was cool all in all
The point I'm making by pointing out everyone's faults it that we all have faults and as the good book says
"All have sinned and come short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23

The Rainbow Fish
So one day I'm substituting at a local elementary school and the assistant is about to read a story to the children called "The Rainbow Fish".
The story is a very simple on about a pretty rainbow fish with shiny glittery scales that makes him the center of attention in the waters where he resides. But rainbow fish is very arrogant and thinks he is took me to associate with the other fish. One day a bluefish comes up to Rainbow fish and asked for one of his scales and he pretty much told the bluefish to get out his face and how dare he ask for a scale. The bluefish went back and told the other fish in the ocean about how Rainbow Fish treated him. Then none of the other fish would associate with him and Rainbow fish got lonely and wondered why none of the other fish would communicate with him. He asked a starfish and he deferred to an octopus who told him to give away his scales and he would feel better.
Upon the advice of the octopus, Rainbow fish returned and the bluefish returned to asked about a scale. He reluctantly gave him one of the smaller scales he but it gave him a great feeling. Pretty soon the other fish lined up and asked for scales too which Rainbow Fish, with his new deposition on life, glady gave away his scales until he had just one glittery scale left. Now all the other fish accepted him and they lived happily ever after....
Socialist Propaganda if I ever heard it
But I'd never heard of this story and called up my girl Mae Mae (Aye Mae Mae!) to ask about it since she worked with kids.
I told her what I thought about it and she said I was nuts and that it was obviously a story about sharing and giving nothing more nothing less. I refused to give up so I dared her to go online, go to google and type in "Rainbow Fish-Socialism" Having never researched the matter myself. Because I was confident I wasn't the only person who picked this up.
I just looked it up and there were 12,300 hits
At this point (and yes this is another post dedicated to spite Meagan)...she was forced to acknowledge the legitimacy of my claim.
He had pretty scales and all the fish wanted them and he became unhappy because of his exclusion from society and the solution was to give away his most prized possessions???
Who the hell wrote this? Karl Marx?
Now for those who say "It's a kids story" I dunno...my version would have been if he had a ball and wouldn't share and he found playing alone was not fun and discovered that through sharing he had more fun.
The sound more like some class stuff because of the pretty rainbow fish looking down on the common blue fish, and being excluded from normal society much as a rich person could find themselves, then finding that through giving away his scales or in the case of a person...giving to charity and sharing their wealth they were happier and had a sense of belonging and purpose.
I'm not a hardcore capitalist or anything but let's just keep the indoctrination away from the kiddies wheter the propaganda goes one way or the other

LOL :)
First of all, to uphold my part of the deal we made prior to the JSU vs MSU game, since we scored over 40 pts . . . YAW YAW YAW YAW YAW, YAW YAW, FOOTBALL!
With that taken care of . . . NO! I was NOT being/acting "stand-offish" at the game! This is what I remember: I recall "somebody" appearing out of thin air, me saying what up, then everything was cool until that same "somebody" made a comment that warrented an "Uh Ohh" and a record skip! So chill out with trying to call me out "sir!"
My thoughts on the JSU vs MSU game: Our offense started off kinda slow, liked the idea of them starting off with that reverse play. The defense looked okay, minus those two deep balls. And for the kicker, please let those 2 missed FGs be a thing of the past! Overall, by the end of the game, "Darn shame what they did to them tigers."
The U vs. FSU: That was a GOOD game! Nuff said!

AJ rips his shirt off and this is what he said......
Yaw Yaw Yaw Yaw Yaw Yaw...wait that's more of Meagan's thing...anyways. I am here to throw each and every last one of us under the bus including myself but mostly Meagan (why her???) I dunno. We've all been slacking off on our blogging. There's been a lot of things going on in our respective lives and/or sports to talk about. In fact we haven't blogged in so long I don't even much know what all we missed. Hell enough things took place just the last weekend. Me and Lesha pooh were together. Meagan acted, as Jeremy so eloquently put it, "standoff-ish" at the game. The BBQ last nite @ Alesha apartment. The Florida State game. Shawn Merriman having to choke a bitch...the list goes on...Jeremiah sneaking up on Meagan like a ninja!LOL
I'm issusing a personal challenge to Meagan Deandra Robinson, Alesha Ricole Lindsey, and Jeremiah "Jeremy" Short to step up they blog game!!!!

Better Late Than Never - A Rant
Friday night, I decided against my best judgment to watch the B.E.T. Awards. It originally aired at the end of June right after Michael Jackson passed away, so it was suppose to be kinda like a tribute show to him, right? Well, here's my opinion on that...
It was a hot mess overall.
First thing first, wtf Jamie Foxx??? MJ belonged to us?!?!? Last time I checked, he was a human being not a dog or cat or any other kinda pet. Yeah he might have broken down race barriers when he was a part of the Jackson 5 or early on in his solo career BUT he's an international superstar with fans from here to Timbuktu. Just because he's a black man doesn't mean we "own" him. If that's the case, I could say that I "own" AJ, Meagan, and Jermey because we all went to State.
And the performances (the standouts to me)....
There were the really goods...
Maxwell performing "Pretty Wings"...I melted at this performance. His vocals, the sound, everything was just about perfect. I could argure that it was the best one of the night.
Ne-Yo...what can I say, the man's got talent. Love the duet he did with Jamie, one of the couple MJ tributes I could actually see.
Mary-Mary...always liked them, so this is a little biased. But what can I say, they get me praising anytime I listen to them. I'll admit, it seemed a little odd to see them perform on this particular show being that they're in the gospel arena.
There were the bads...
Ciara...When she first started singing I thought it was a little boy trying to sing. Then I realized it was her. I'm glad that she did an MJ song, but did it have to be so somber?
Jamie Foxx and T-Pain...it was flashy, it was bright, it was mediocre at best. I don't understand why Jamie had the need to use Auto-Tune. He can hold his own singing wise. T-Pain, however... However I will say that I was glad to see that Travis Barker was looking much better.
Beyonce...firstly, I thought she had an okay voice but didn't really like it tonight. I'm a big fan of the song "Angel" by Sarah McLaughlin. She did not do it justice. Secondly, WTF was she wearing?!?!?!? Last time I checked "Ava Maria" was a revered spirtual song. A long, dramatic dress would have been much more appropiate instead of looking like a slutty tooth fairy.
And there were the uglys...
Soulja Boy...I will be the first to admit, I fell for the act. But this performance was HORRENDOUS. He's dead to me. End of story.
Drake and Lil Wayne...Not a huge fan of Drake but it wasn't too bad. I'm callin out Lil Wayne. How in the HELL do you perform a "song" about f*cking ("loving") every girl in the world and you have girls dancing on the stage who look like they MIGHT be high school freshmen. Tacky, distasteful, and just down right wrong in every sense.
WTF was up with the "movie trailer"?! I didn't see the point in it. They mighta been funny characters on their respectable shows (Martin and In Living Color) but I didn't find them really funny. Also thought it was outta line and pretty forgetable.
And the MJ "tributes", if it can be called that, were okay at best. I mean they couldn't put together a montage of some of his biggest hits. He was a dancer so they could have had some of the best dancers (might sound cliche but there's Usher, Justin Timberlake, and to an extent Ne-Yo) do a dance montage. Something more than just wearing high-watered pants with socks, a shirt with his picture, or a glove on one hand.
Overall, I felt that the show was thrown together, unorganized, disgraceful as a "tribute". It felt like it lacked a passion for MJ. I had really just stopped watching BET years ago...yes, during my teenage years. I was reminded why I did. It's not what I stand for personally. All the "best" acts are just middle of the road to me for the most part. Most of the songs revolve around sex, drugs, and violence. And maybe it wouldn't be quite as bad if it wasn't so crude, in your face, vulgar, and disrespectful.
