If I was white, I would love for John Goodman to be my father. The man is awesome. Plus my last name would be 'Goodman". Middle name can be 'Is". Javaris Is Goodman. Okay, now I'm really wishing he was my father just for that simple fact.
Today we will be giving away tickets to see one of his new movies "Love The Coopers". LOVE THE COOPERS follows the Cooper clan as four generations of extended family come together for their annual Christmas Eve celebration. As the evening unfolds, a series of unexpected visitors and unlikely events turn the night upside down, leading them all toward a surprising rediscovery of family bonds and the spirit of the holiday.
I know nothing about this movie, but John is in it and John is GOLD. Plus, it's free. Can't beat that......with a bat.
Click here to get the tickets and be sure to move fast. If it's anything like the last. They're be gone really quick.

Which one is the greatest?
Aquemini: is the third studio album by American hip hop duo OutKast, released on September 29, 1998 through LaFace Records. The title is a portmanteau of the two performers' Zodiac signs: Aquarius (Big Boi) and Gemini (André 3000), which is indicative of the album's recurring theme of the differing personalities of the two members. Released as the follow-up to the duo's 1996 album ATLiens, Aquemini expands on the previous record's outer space-inspired compositions by incorporating live instrumentation. The commercial success of ATLiens allowed for more creative freedom for the group, which led to the members self-producing the majority of the tracks. The band employed a large number of musicians for the album, who frequently entered and exited the studio throughout the recording process and had a major influence on the writing development of the album's songs. Lyrically, Aquemini explores various themes including human nature, addiction, and interpersonal relationships.
Stankonia: is the fourth studio album by American hip hop duo OutKast, released October 31, 2000 on La Face Records. The album was recorded in the duo's recently purchased Atlanta recording facility, Stankonia Studios, allowing for fewer time constraints and more musical experimentation. For the follow-up to Aquemini, the duo worked to create an expansive and experimental musical aesthetic, incorporating a diverse array of musical styles that included funk, drum 'n' bass, gospel, techno, psychedelia, and rock into a Dirty South-oriented hip hop context. During the recording sessions, André 3000 worked to move beyond traditional rapping in favor of a more melodic vocal style, an approach to which Big Boi and other producers were initially unaccustomed. Lyrically, the duo touches upon a wide range of subject matter, including politics, misogyny, sexuality, African-American culture, parenthood and personal introspection. Stankonia features appearances from many local Atlanta musicians whom the group discovered while visiting clubs in the city.

Man Down (ep.3)
We would like to give a big congratulation to our two All-Stars.
Now that the All-Star break is over. It's time to make that playoff push. The All-Star game was one great tune up for Kevin Durant As he scored 28 and looked like he haven't missed one step. Taking on the greatest in the world. He also started. As voted in by the fans. Even after being hurt for most of the first half of the season. Gotta love the fans.
Derrick Rose got in by the higher honor. Voted in my the coaches, It's nice to see that people see the work that he has put in while being the leader of the team with KD out. He scored 13 and added 6 dimes on the night.
D'Angelo is one star that didn't see raising so fast. He played pretty well. We need to keep our eyes on him when his free agency is available. Young with talent. When be a great addition to the team as most of our players age.
It really doesn't matter how you get in. It's what you do when you get there, Tickets go on sale Monday. Let's pack the house.

In celebration of the global launch of Chris Paul’s latest signature model, the Jordan CP3.IX, an 8-bit video game has been launched that includes Los Angeles Clippers’ floor general and his latest shoes. Called "Striking Control' this games finds most of us back in our childhood. I remember it used to be this game from Disney. Online game. It was kinda like this, only you have to dodge football players. As the trail went on, the game got faster and so fast that the players would basically look like ghost with how fast they were moving.
I found myself playing this game for awhile and it will have you hooked. Just like the Disney game, this one is simple. Give it a try and post your high score in the comments. Click here to play

It's really no secret. The Eagles are my favorite band of all time. I can often be found singing the songs at any time. It's just something that I always do. It's the wanting to be a Rock God. That's what Joe Walsh is, a Rock God. This man can play some of the fumiest licks you would ever hear in your life. That's what landed him in the band in the first place. The Eagles was already a band but when they started to go thru changes they happen to come across Joe solo work. They knew from the opening ten seconds that they wanted him in the band.
I for one, is pretty happy that they did. He kills it and kills it again and again. I have never heard everything bad when it comes to his music. Word is, his words. He was one bad boy back in the day. I'm talking about trashing hotel rooms for fun. Must be nice to be rich.
This got me to thinking. Not so much about the hotel rooms but about getting back into playing the weapon of greatness. I mean what would be better then to whip out the guitar and just let go for awhile. I was checking Musicians Friend and I ran across this robert trujillo bass (strings pack). I might have to buy a couple. I seen to break them fast. Rock on, rock on.

They say that somethings get better with time. That seem to not be the case when it came to The CW. The CW used to be UPN, UPN used to be one of the most amazing channels in TV. This was before the days of one million channels. This is the channel that BET should have been. It was black star power. With the diversity that is the black culture. They had amazing shows, Girlfriends and Half & Half to just name two of the endless hits. They had the youth. They had the future. That was till they closed down and joined together with The WB and became what it is today. Whatever it is today. So whack now. The CW. It moved to a new range of people. Girls in they teens that like to watch corny stuff.
One of the shows that was on the great UPN was Malcolm & Eddie. Malcolm McGee (Malcolm-Jamal Warner) is a responsible and sensible twenty something who ends up sharing an apartment and a business venture with relentlessly enthusiastic tow truck owner Eddie Sherman (Eddie Griffin) in Kansas City, Missouri (which is Eddie Griffin's hometown). A fast talker with outlandish frenetic energy, Eddie's charming naiveté always seems to get the two into hot water. But no matter what the situation, these opposites always end up bailing each other out.
Crackle currently have Season One for free to watch. I hope they add the other three. Check the show out and let me know what you think.
