"Never love a wild thing ...

You can't give your heart to a wild thing: the more you do, the stronger they get. Until they're strong enough to run into the woods. Or fly into a tree. Then a taller tree. Then the sky. That's how you'll end up ...

If you let yourself love a wild thing. You'll end up looking at the sky."

- Holly Golightly

what's next?

Dear Nike, WTF?


No seriously though what is your damage.

Today marks the first day of the 2010 Masters Tournament, and Tiger Woods return to golf after a 20 week hiatus, following an "indiscretion" or two. Make that fifteen and counting, it is safe to say that Tiger has hoes in just about every area code. But adulterated antics aside, Tiger walked onto the green to a standing ovation, Augusta was waiting with open arms. As we all all know, Tiger's fans are far more loyal than his sponsors, who all except Nike packed up their satchels of millions and moved on. Nike being the loyal long-standing partner it has always been, shoot an ad with Tiger on March 25th, and the monstrosity hit the internet hard last night. The 30 second ad features a dismal tiger staring blankly into the camera as a voice over of his late father, Earl Woods, plays. "Tiger, I am more prone to be inquisitive, to promote discussion, I want to find out what your thinking was. I want to find out what your feelings are. And did you learn anything?" Insert puzzled look here.

Really, Nike ... Really? Was it really necessary to address the issue at all, I would argue not, as a company they have publicly shown their continued support through this whole sexy-time fiasco, why air a public scolding from his deceased father. Unnecessary. But thanks for totally creeping us out. This out of context quote forced upon Tiger's face does nothing for Tiger, for the brand, and doesn't come close to shedding new light on the situation, so why bother? According to Nike they "support Tiger and his family. As he returns to competitive golf, the ad addresses his time away from the game using the powerful words of his father." Right.


This ad is a sorry excuse for a public address, Nike should have left well enough alone, if history has taught us anything it is that the general public has no problem excusing the indiscretions of profession athletes after the dust settles, exhibits A through E, Kobe Bryant, A. Rod, Wade Boggs, Derek Low, Martin Brodeur and the list goes on. Give it a year or two and no one will remember that he once took sexting to a new level, with something along the lines of wanting to hold said mistress down while he chokes her, and effs that ass that he owns.


Meanwhile Twitter is a buzzzzz with all this Tiger action, and I am loving every second of it.

weezy blogging through the bars.


On March 9th of this year Lil' Wayne (aka Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., aka Weezy, aka The Fireman, aka Weezy F. Baby, aka Young Carter, aka Birdman Jr., aka Best Rapper Alive) arrived at Rikers Island penitentiary in New York City to begin serving his one-year jail sentence on a weapons conviction, stemming from a 2007 arrest. Weezy Pleaded guilty for a reduced 12-month sentence, and is expected to only serve 8 months, on good behavior.

It is no secret that social media has proved to be a remarkable tool for musicians. Between twitter, myspace, and facebook fan pages, performers are more connected to their fan then ever before, and Lil' Wayne is no exception. Prior to his incarceration Weezy was an avid blogger and tweeter, always showing love to his fans. Currently he has the second most popular myspace music page, his twitter account (@liltunechi) has 327,807 follows (one being me, obvi.) and his Facebook page has 3,521,904 fans at my most recent count.

One would think that being in jail would stop a recording artist from being able to keep in touch with their fans, but Lil' Wayne has proved otherwise. Although The Best Rapper Alive cannot tweet, he can blog, kind of ... Lil' Wayne's people have set up a website titled Weezy Thanx You, a blog they will be keeping updated as Carter sends them letters from jail.

In Letter #01 (the only one to date) he states his intentions of the website "During my prison stint, I want my fans to know I love you. I want all of you to know that I appreciate all the mail I get, and this is my way of saying thank you." Wayne continues to provide individual shout-outs to fans that have provided him with hope and support through the letters they have sent. Weezy Thanx You provides the address to reach Lil' Wayne (or Dwayne Carter NYSID# 02616544L) as well as a running countdown until his return home.

So, if you want to know what's up with weezy just check out his blog.
