I don't believe in isms, ists or ologies. Labels, however, can sometimes be useful. A lot of the problems in society would be solved if people were properly labeled. Stereotypes are partially based in truth. Don't kid yourself, you know I'm right. Where do you think they came from? Thin air? Think again. Jokes are simply societally accepted ways to ridicule people. If someone makes fun of you and then says, "I was only kidding," no, they weren't. They meant it. The joke is simply the tasty cream filling used to mask the harsh taste of reality. Sarcasm is king. If you can't mock it, then why is it there in the first place?

There is an expression that our president once butchered that goes, “Fool me once, shame on you…fool me twice, shame on me.” Well, shame on me. Once again, I was fooled by the Los Angeles Lakers. I was fooled into believing that Kobe Bryant had matured and was capable of being a leader. I was fooled into believing that Pau Gasol was all the Lakers needed to make that next step. I was fooled into believing that Sasha Vujacic was the next Toni Kukoc. I was fooled into believing that Lamar Odom had more to offer than being a fouling machine. I was fooled into believing that…

You know how eating an ice cream sundae is bad for you and yet tastes so good? Or how awful Michael Bay movies are, but still manage to be very entertaining? Well, that’s how I felt about Kobe Bryant. I want to hate him. I want to call him selfish…spoiled…arrogant…a rapist (allegedly) and who knows, he may be all those things, but one thing that Kobe is for sure is amazing. Watching Kobe play is like watching a Cirque du Soleil show. You sit there in wonderment, questioning how a human is able to pull off all those gravity-defying feats. There’s never a dull…
