GOOOOAAALLLL!!!!!

It’s that time again! Yes the time in which the world sits back and focuses on one event that outshines most any other. The World Cup. Now most Americans have no idea what football is. Not American football, I mean what we solely in the world, refer to as soccer. This is a true game of champions, a few select individuals who are the par excellence of their respective countries, gathering to find the number one team in the world. This is a true world challenge. This is sportsmanship. Yet there will only be a paltry 12 of the 64 games shown in the United States.

Can you believe this. We have people from every nation in the world here. Whether visiting, on business, descendants of pioneers or slaves, virtually not a single American has no ties to another part of the world. Given the craze these days to profess the xxx-American status of the heritage of everyone in the country you would think there would be more interest.(the xxx being African Hispanic, Chinese, Irish, Italian or whatever nationality - American) Regardless this is the height of competition, something this nation thrives on, yet few seem to ever care. Why is it that Americans need to dominate a sport before anyone here watches or follows it, I mean that en masse.

I for one love to watch the games and will do so again this year. I think Germany will win, with a chance for Brazil. Maybe the U.S. team makes it to the second round, but I won’t bet on it. And that isn’t anti-American. We just aren’t that good. Getting better but just not up there. And we won’t be till we really support this game. Which we should since EVERY country in the world plays and pays attention to this game. Literally. People have been killed over this game. Players have been killed over home goals. And everyone in that country could sympathize with the shooter. You don’t see that kind of passion in any game the USA dominates. So when the Cup is on, you’ll know where to find me, and who I am rooting for.

Speaking of home goals. Yet another suddenly 'brilliant' entertainer has decided that they need to share their ‘presence’ with the world on the big screen. I know I’ve complained that there were too few new ideas showing in movies these days, but can we please stop allowing rappers that have done nothing from getting movie roles. Or at least leading vehicles. I’ve mentioned my reasons why more than enough times. Do I think kayne west has the talent? No. Do I think this will be a waste of time? Yes. Will this movie drive in enough Black African Americans and hip hop fans to make a comfortable 300% profit? Sure (especially considering the cost of the whole movie might be 10 mil max, including the above and below the line costs plus advertising) since it will be cheap. But that just doesn’t make it good.

I am prejudging. I may be surprised. Of course I could also win the powerball. In my opinion the odds are in favor of me winning the powerball.

This is what I think, what do you think.

Oh, thank you all for sticking with me as I’ve been dealing with the fun life has thrown at me recently. I appreciate the support.
