I think its pretty sad that certain politicians who shall remain nameless have used the Ground Zero Mosque controversy to boost their own political aspirations. It think its also sad (and quite pathetic) that people are using an event such as 9/11 to hide their own prejudices. Yes, Islamic terrorists carried out the attacks on Sept. 11. Yes, I realize the family members and friends of those killed and other Americans were deeply affected by the events on that Tuesday. But its also important to realize that there are nutjobs in every religious group; the actions of 19 men should not define a religion that has over 1 billion people. Besides, whatever happened to freedom of religion? Isn't this America? We're supposed to have values and respect for others.
Also, I highly doubt most of those upset about the mosque actually know anyone who is Muslim. Just a thought.
2. Speaking of Palin, I guess using the N word is okay as long as you don't use the word retarded.
3. So Shirley Sherrod, how's "post-racial" America treating you?
4. At least the Dodgers decided to start sucking in August instead of September.
5. My trip to DC this month was awesome. Nothing like hanging out with good friends, meeting new friends, and reconnecting with old friends. Hell, I might even consider moving to the area, except for, you know, the whole winter thing.
6. As long as Cal beats Stanfurd, makes a decent bowl, and doesn't get embarrassed by the conference's top teams, I'll be happy. Hell, since Cal's not supposed to do particularly well this year, maybe they can finally get over the hump and get to Pasadena for Jan. 1. Hey, stop laughing. It could happen. Really. It could.
7. Does it make me a horrible person if I'm not exactly saddened and dismayed by the sale of KTRU? I listened to the station all of three times while at Rice, all for sporting events. I mean, the station will still exist online, the students will still be in control, and the school gets money to continue to modernize its facilities. Considering the future of radio is online and the station can actually reach a broader audience, I don't see too much wrong with that.
8. History? Sociology? Education? Communications? African American Studies? I thought I had this grad school stuff figured out, but I don't. But hey, it's only the rest of my life I'm deciding on. No pressure, right.
9. Preseason football sucks. There. I said it.
10.
Lil' Wayne and Hall and Oates. Together. Yes, please.
11. Seriously, though, why does Rice play Texas? Why can't Rice play someone crappy for their first game like everybody else?
12. That being said, Rice will surprise some folks this year. I mean, it can't get any worse than last year, right?
13.
Unlike a lot of people, I didn't have a problem with LeBron leaving Cleveland for Miami. He was, after all, a free agent. However, an hour long special? WTF is that about? Choosing a new team is one thing; making a spectacle of yourself in another.
Also, what makes everyone think Miami is a shoo-in for the title next year? Yes, Miami will win a lot of games. Yes, Wade, Bosh, and James will win their share of titles. But last time I checked, the trio has won one title combined. Even great teams have to build chemistry and trust with each other. Who's going to be the leader? Who's going to be the go to guy in the clutch? Most importantly, how much are the other 9 players going to contribute? I'm definitely not trying to hate on the Heat, but hey, only time will tell how good this team can truly be.
Besides, Lakers are going back to back to back anyways.
14. This whole college football expansion talk isn't going to end well at all, especially for a school like Rice. Money, not tradition, is going to rule the day. Does a school like Rice, which prides itself on doing things the right way, want to be a part of an enterprise that is becoming more and more like a professional league.
15. Man, I have the worst luck with this whole dating thing.
16.
SMH. Yes, sadly, this is a real song. No snarky comment here. I got nothing.
17. I've definitely watched more soccer or...um football..... this summer than baseball. I dont necessarily think that's a bad thing either.
18. Holy crap, I'm 24. When did that happen?
19. If you post something controversial and argumentative on your Facebook, yet get mad when people who don't agree with you respond, you fail at the whole social media thing.

Despite all of its many, many flaws, I still love LA.
