1. All of you Cologne and Perfume 'chokers' out there, please ease off on the amount that your throwing on your person every day...your only making the global warming crisis worse
2. This goes out to the fellas, Corn-rolls and Mohawk haircuts are officially outdated...2 years ago
3. the GOP is having a devil of a time finding the best Republican candidate that will eventually lose to President Obama in the '12 Nov. Election
4. NPR (National Public Radio) has the best collection of Eclectic Journalist names in the entire radio genre, here are a few names that will get your mind spinning with curiosity...Nina Totenberg, Kai Ryssdal, Lakshmi Singh, Steve Inskeep, Corey Flintoff...[it won't hit you right away but think about the names, repeat them to yourself a few times and then you'll start thinking "WTF"!]

Mayan Calendar forgot about the Los Angeles Clippers
The World is coming to an end on December 21st, 2012 but I think that's totally unfair and uncalled for because the Los Angeles Clippers are finally becoming a relevant franchise in the NBA and for the entire Clipper Nation fan base to be deprived of seeing their beloved 'Clips' win a World Championship is a tad bit disheartening. The Mayan calendar has predicted such, with human life so-called ending forever at the close of '12, but I'm going to stay in the moment and choose not to believe such hogwash and buffoonery; instead I'm going to put on my blue and red foam-finger and boxer shorts and head to downtown Los Angeles and meet the Clippers #1 fan 'Clipper Darrell' and we're going to root hard and long for the most beleaguered team in U.S. professional sports history
This NBA shortened season should have a lot of drama and suspense all the way through the playoffs and it looks like for the first time ever the Clippers will be a major player in deciding who will come out of the western conference and compete for the NBA Championship. They signed arguably the best point guard in the league this offseason, Chris Paul, they also signed Caron Butler and Chauncey Billups-for experience and depth-and they kept their own important free agents from leaving and signing with other teams. Despite what Laker fans are saying and refusing to come to terms with, the city of Los Angeles is slowly becoming a Clipper Town; its been a total Laker Town for the last 30 years for obvious reasons but starting last year and now filtrating through this NBA season ('11-'12), you can start the see where the City of Angels basketball fan loyalty will be 1-half Laker and other half Clippers very very soon. The momentum is already in full swing and all the Clippers have to do is continue to win on a consistent basis and the 50/50 fan split is as good as determined (they don't necessarily have to win a championship right away but if there a top 4 seed in the playoffs the next couple of seasons that's just as good). Every Laker fan I talk to is in denial about this process but if you look at the reality of the situation, this was bound to happen after the Clippers got lucky and drafted Blake Griffin and he went on to have one of the more spectacular rookie seasons since his 'Airness' came in to the league in 1984. I'm not part of the Mayan genealogy and I'm definitely no Nostradamus but I happen to be pretty good at making predictions and year ago I wrote a post at the Foxsports blog page, before any other blogger or basketball expert, that Los Angeles would soon be taking over by the 'play and swagger' of B.Griffin and how that would start the process of ushering out the Kobe 'bean' Bryant era. Below I re-posted the exact same blog, read it again or read it for the first time and let me know your thoughts....As I drive up the Pacific Coast Highway I can see the Blue/Red Tide slowly smothering the Purple/Gold tide with little resistance, its as if the Laker wave didn't see it coming

RE-POST from Jan.21st, 2011
I can’t believe I’m writing this but Los Angeles Clipper's BLAKE ‘BEASTLY’ GRIFFIN is the new King of L.A; OK, not yet, Kobe is still the ‘man’ and the Lakers by way of owning 16 championships and having 1 of the best owners in NBA history continues to rule but this time next year the title of ‘cities best b-ball player’ will undoubtedly go to Blake Griffin (barring injury) which means the’ black mamba’ will take a backseat to the talents of Mr.Griffin
What can you say about the raw talents of the Beast, I’ve been following Griff since his senior year at the University of Oklahoma, where he was dominant and national player of the year, but I must admit he’s even passed my expectations as his first full NBA season is only 3 months old; what else could he accomplish for the 2nd half of the season? Well let me answer that, he could improve his overall defensive presence, his jump shot needs tweaking and he needs to shoot a better free-throw percentage, besides that he should continue to be a dominant player till the end of the year. His numerous-thunderous Dunks alone are worth tuning in to see, he’s poster-ized so many veteran players that NBA.com has a top 10 dunk list dedicated to the Beast, I’m sure that has never been done before and recent memory reminds me we had a healthy amount of Showtime Dunkers in this league but there’s something about the way Griff is dunking that makes you say “I’m witnessing something special”
(Blake's crotch has been On or Smashed up against so many opposing players faces that his dunks should get a NC-17 rating)!!!!
I’m not here to bash on Kobe, he’s had a nice run and will go down as one of the best to ever play (although he won’t overtake Jordan as the best ever, he’ll be a notch below him and Magic-Bird as well) but the injuries and wear & tear of 15 years in the league (regular season and playoff games) is finally taking a toll on Kobe and you can see, finally, that Kobe is slipping and will only continue to slip as the next few years go by. I expect Kobe to finish out this year near the high level he’s played at over the last 5 years but it will be fitting at this years All-Star game (in Los Angeles for the 2nd time n six years) for the official-unofficial City of Angels torch to be passed from one Kobe ‘Bean’ Bryant to the star in waiting Blake ‘Beastly’ Griffin
This is how compelling and awe-inspiring Blake the Beast has been this season, since he announced his participation in this years All-Star Game Dunk Contest I’m actually eagerly anticipating the event and I’m not the only one, I’ve heard and read plenty of die-hard as well as casual basketball fans say they will be tuning in to see what Griff pulls off in the contest, he will be a welcome addition to the festivities considering the contest itself has been dreadful and non-watch able for a decade or so
It will be a hard pill to swallow for most Kobe fans but the inevitable is surely to happen, I thought the title of City’s Best would eventually come from a younger Laker player but that simply is not the case (Andrew Bynum was the best candidate but he’s to injury prone). The Clippers were blessed, for the 7th time in 15 years, with the #1 lottery draft pick-two years ago-and when the consensus number one player fell in their laps I’m sure they couldn’t even predict the success and ‘draw’ Blake is having on the league right now. The Clippers are still playing under .500 but that can change as the 2nd half of the season kicks off and the man in the middle of it all will be the Power Forward with smooth-mean-humble Energy of Steel …Blake isn’t doing it alone either, he’s warmly complimented on the court by Eric Gordon, Baron Davis and the surprising productive DeAndre Jordan…its crazy to think that the Clippers could ever rival the Lakers in Tinsel Town but if the Clippers can string together a few seasons of playoff berths I wouldn’t be surprised, I’m live in this town and I can see the Clipper Nation growing by the day and we’re still 4 weeks away from the All-Star break. Blake ‘Beastly’ Griffin can’t stop and won’t stop! I’m looking forward to seeing this guy grow into being the best player in the entire NBA
