” Use Me “

Hi Family,

My name is Mel Gibson, “F_ _ k  everybody!” Is this what the world is coming to? Tell me now! I’ll turn in my goodie-too-shoe pin. The nerve of Mel! That man is walking around the universe like he’s been bite by a rabid raccoon. I know you didn’t call me nigga Mel! If your gonna call me nigga Mel make sure it’s “Mr Nigga” okay. I’m not about to get upset because you called me Nigga. How can I get upset when enough of my own brothers are calling me Nigga. No I’m not trying to defend your irrational behavior Mel. No I’m not down with Whoopie either. I’m just saying you need to calm down a bit. You’re scaring a lot of the little children right now. If this is your way of letting Hollywood know that you want the lead role in the re-make of the “Shining” your doing a good job Mel. Thank God you still have some friends. I’m not at all surprised that Whoopie would step up to the plate to defend you. ” Oh no Mel is not a racist, it’s the alcohol”. Sit down Whoopie please! From all my experiences I’ve always known the alcohol to bring out the truth in people. It’s like a badge of courage. We start saying things we don’t normally say and expressing feelings that we don’t normally express.

I think in Mels case he’s suffering from a combination of things not just the alcohol. The money, the fame and the power can be such a destructive combination when it’s not balanced with any sense of spirituality. It’s kind of easy to get cocky waking up to a 40 million dollar house every night. Mix that with some alcohol and drugs and you have a Mel Gibson. Yes Mel has said some repulsive things that are offensive to people of all races and religions. I think the most damaging thing Mel has done up to this point is show that he has very little respect for women. This could have a very damaging affect on his career especially among his female following. It is also apparent that this women obviously rocked Mels world and he is very upset that he can’t have his sexual way anymore. In any event, I am never happy to see someones personal life played out in the media. So Mel if you ever need a Mr. Nigga to talk to I’m here,”Use Me”.

” Use Me ” a classic by Bill Withers. Who will the Cleveland Cavaliers use for this upcoming season? All the speculation is finally over. After seven seasons in his hometown of Ohio Lebron James decided to leapfrog to the Miami Heat. This entire situation has been the subject of much heated debate and will continue to be for a very long time. When looking at the King James picture, there is so much for all of us to learn. One of the most important aspects we need to look at is this word ” loyalty “. In this capitalistic society that we have created does it even exist anymore? There was so much talk going around about Lebrons loyalty. Well right now we have over 3 million people unemployed so lets go to their employers and find out why they’re out of work. Does it look like their loyalty to the job got them anywhere? Do you think the employers are loyal to all the hard work and hours people put in to support their families on a daily basis ? Do you think BP will be loyal to all the merchants that got screwed with this oil leak? Oil still seeping from the cap after 90 days. Has the city council in Albany been loyal to the people of New York State? Still walking around the chamber smelling each others butt without a budget. Over in Newark they may not even have toilet paper to wipe their butts if Cory Booker has his way. Cutting back on the purchase of toilet paper to balance the budget. My personal belief is that loyalty does exist today but it is an extreme rarity. If you feel that it exist in your life you are a blessed individual. Lets not get it twisted here, this had nothing to do with loyalty. This was about money and winning and nothing else.

May his soul rest in peace but who personified this mentality and philosophy more than George Steinbrenner. It was his philosophy that lead to some of the highest salaries we see in sports today.  When Lebron was drafted out of high school it wasn’t because Dan Gilbert and the Cavaliers had a certain level of loyalty. It was because they wanted to make some money and win a title. They didn’t win a title but the addition of Lebron was a vast improvement. The addition of Lebron generated 150 million dollars a year for the Cavaliers. Lets times that by seven years. What is that? Close to a billion dollars? You have the nerve to write a slave master letter detesting a grown mans decision. All over the loss of some money. What Dan Gilbert wrote was totally reprehensible and a total embarrassment. Instead of showing your total arrogance Cleveland should be grateful for what Lebron did in seven seasons. The franchise was nowhere without him. Lets all respect his decision. Lebron is only 25 years old but he’s a precocious 25. The owners shouldn’t be upset because some of these young players have studied the game and done there homework. It’s called a power move. They sat down and came up with a better plan than the owners. Of course there will be a response from the owners because the free agency contract is up this year. I’m sure they will do whatever is necessary to put a stop to something like this happening again. In the meantime the N.B.A will have to live with a new super team. Yes Lebron, Wade and Bosch will all be singing that Bill Withers classic ” Use Me “. for the Miami Heat.

“Use Me” that’s something every living human being should be saying when they wake up in the morning. As I visit a steady flow of wakes and funerals I’ve learned to appreciate being used. I’ve come to realize that no one can be used in a casket. No one can fully be used in jail either. Just ask Lindsey Lohan. For a long time now many of us thought it would be Brittany Spears going through all of this. I guess she showed us all a thing or two. Back on track and looking great. To the contrary Lindsey has just stayed on that same collision course. Unable to get off of that destructive path that the Hollywood brat pack just loves to walk on. Here she is just crying her eyes out. The adults just talk, talk and talk until they’re blue in the face. Somehow the young people just stay on that inevitable path to learn the hard way. The Obama administration just learned the hard way. Firing a good woman Shirley Sherrod. All of us should pay attention to this because the bloggers and the media have set a precedent. They have put themselves in a position where they can sway the minds of the mainstream without presenting all the true facts. That is a powerful and dangerous weapon. As hard as it is to find a job here’s somebody fired based on the trickery of bloggers and the media. The Obama administration jumping to conclusions for the sake of being politically correct. Now they want to offer her job back. I don’t blame Shirley for saying I’ll think about it before I let you “Use Me”.
