Congratulations…
Congratulations to my best friend and brother Nate and his new wife Kathy, their ceremony was held last Saturday, April 21st in Chicago, Illinois. Nice ceremony and nice long weekend for me running around and helping out. Nothing like wearing tuxedo shoes for 12 hours to really make you hate dress shoes.
I’ll be putting up pictures just as soon as my lazy ass gets them off my camera. I could have sworn I took more than 10 pictures but I guess not

What a world…
So this has been a very media heavy week in the world. A firestorm was started by the media over the comments made by Don Imus about the Rutgers basketball team, when he called them “nappy headed hos”. The backlash from this comment was astronomical, in just 2 days Imus had lost both MSNBC and CBS broadcasting rights.
Leading the charge against Imus was Reverend Jesse Jackson and Reverend Al Sharpton, who are no strangers to racial discrimination, but was this really a racist comment or a joke gone horribly bad. I honestly dont believe Mr. Imus meant any harm in his comments, it was like the Michael Richards tirade where he actually verbally attacked audience members. Mr. Imus basically told a joke and a choice few decided to take it to heart.
I believe this is a huge over reaction, and I’m sorry but Rev. Jackson and Rev. Sharpton are not my spokespersons, they dont speak for me or any of my family. Although their intentions have been good for the most part alot of the times they add more fuel to the fire that is racism, instead of solving the problem they put gasoline on it to build it up even more. I wonder what these two self appointed champions of racism and discrimination would do if racism and discrimination disappeared from our world.
Should Imus have been suspended, possibly, I’ve heard a lot of bad jokes from comedians of various ethnicities and what he said wasnt even close in being bad. I fear for our world where it seems that freedoms are being taken away by those that have nothing better to do than add fuel to fires.
Well we can always look at it from this way, at least Imus knocked Anna Nicole’s baby out the limelight if just for a little bit…;)
