Wishful thinking

All I can say is "Really, T.I., seriously?????"   According to a recent news report (link below) rapper/actor T.I. was arrested for suspicion of possession an illegal substance earlier this week. His wife was also arrested with him when their car was stopped by officers in West Hollywood according to the article below.

I'm hoping the charges with the term "suspicion" means there's a chance the entertainer was wrongly accused. Stranger things have happened and I don't believe everything I read. Everything will "come out in the wash" as they say.  After the rapper's stint in prison in the past year I'd hope we'd see only positive things from T.I.  While I'm not a huge fan of his music, I have followed this man's career and was happy to see him recently in the media talking about how his incarceration helped him grow emotionally. I'm still rooting for this young man. I think he "could" be a great role model for his peers if, in fact, he does turn his life around. Because he's recently released from prison, I read that if the charges have any validity T.I. could be going back to prison as a repeat offender.  We all have to pay at some point for our bad decisions.  Here's hoping the old T.I. is "dead and gone" as he croons in one of his songs.  It may be turn out to be only wishful thinking on my part, but I'm into positive thinking these days!

~~ my ten cents.

Flight Attendant on JetBlue loses his cool and exits plane

Unless you haven't watched the news or listened to the radio in the past couple of day, you won't be familiar with this story .  From news reports I've seen online and watched on television (see below), it appears the JetBlue flight attendant that lost his cool is becoming a hero of sorts. Online blogs are praising him for doing what some often only fantasize about.  Reports indicated a passenger failed to listen to the flight attendant's warnings about standing up and getting luggage from the overhead compartment before the appointed time. It's said the passenger was belligerent and an argument ensued between the two resulting in expletives being used. One report I saw mentioned the overhead compartment hit the flight attendant in the head (not sure of that as it's not mentioned on every report I've seen).   In any case, the flight attendant promptly gets on the intercom and calls the passenger an expletive in response and tells the ent...

Cavaliers: Open Letter to Fans from Cavaliers Majority Owner Dan Gilbert

With the recent "uproar" of LeBron James' decision to leave the Cavs for the Heat - strange things are happening. While it's not strange for Cleveland to be upset at LeBron - that's a natural reaction if you have such a talented player. I believe it's "strange" to see such an angry "open letter" to fans by the owner, Dan Gilbert (see link below). Basketball is a sport, but it's a business as well. Sports athletes get traded, leave for other teams, get cut and lose their careers on a daily basis. Mr. Gilbert writes something in the letter about "having to do right by Cleveland or he's taking the curse down south" ( I'm paraphrasing). That leads me to believe there is more to this story than meets the eye. Is it possible that LeBron promised to stay in Cleveland and changed his mind? The owner mentions "betrayal" in the letter. Or, could it be the owner felt LeBron was "rubbing it in Cleveland's face...

Paris Hilton caught with Marijuana

According to an Associated Press news report, Paris Hilton was taken in for questioning regarding marijuana found in her possession. The incident took place at a Corsica airport via drug sniffing dogs.  Apparently, Paris was only held for questioning and was released in 30 minutes!  Oh, that swift hand of justice, huh?  Seriously, I don't expect she'll have to face charges - the article below notes the amount of the drug was "quite small" according to officials.  Just another day in paradise, I guess.
