<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I haven't been on here in a while. I know that. And today, I feel like writing or talking. So I'm going to talk about my life in its current state and in doing so give all the excuses why Premium Hype has been neglected. Be entertained.
<span id="fullpost">
<br />
So yeah, school's cool. I guess I've pretty much survived 2 years of college. Thats an accomplishment, considering the fact that i find it 75% useless. I decided to do 18 hours this semester. Wasnt bad at all. As a matter of fact, I'm going to do it again next semester.I'll see how that works out.<br />
<br />
Sadly, I feel like I'm just living. Mediocrity is one of my biggest fears. And I've been feeling pretty mediocre. Its killing me.. My health has been declining over the past couple months. Actually I'm pretty sure that I'm losing weight again.. Sucks.<br />
<br />
I'm writing my book again. I've changed the plot. Moved some characters around. and now im on my way. I say it all the time but its very true: The only person that would have wanted to read the book the way it was, was me. I'm also working with a literary consultant. She's helping me make it more... "reader friendly".<br />
<br />
I've also decided to begin seeing a shrink. Not because I think I'm crazy, or anything. I just wanted someone to analyze me. And perhaps put my thoughts into words. I've always had a problem doing that on my own. You're probably wondering what she says about me? Well after some very long conversations about me, my past, and my life in general. She was able to shed some light on some areas. She says that Im un-genuinely humble. lol. Like, "deep down I know that I'm the shit, but I dont want other people to know that I know, almost as if I'm ashamed of it". I partially agree. I think that sometimes, I do downplay my success, and mentally patting myself on the back at the same time.... She also said that I see myself as being "out of the barrel", a man among boys, separated from the masses. She said that I have a "me and them" kind of mentality, like that of a King. I disagree, i dont feel as if I'm better than anyone else. She said that I see people as things or possessions. Something that can be bought, sold, or traded. She says that this is primarily the reason why my past relationships haven't worked out. According to her, "objects arent meant to be loved, but used. So its difficult for people like me to feel affection for others and show that for long periods of time. She said that as I feel closer to someone, I unconsciously begin pulling back. And once I pull back so far. there is no going back... I'm detached." Within our conversation, she discreetly took a tally on how many times I mentioned my ex and the relationship. I dont remember how many times she ended up with. But it was alot. More than 10. She confirmed that it doesnt necessarily mean that i still have feelings for her. Even so, I cant deny that she was a big part of my life. And her and the relationship were great teachers. I'm glad that she is happy right now. Its good to see. The shrink said that th only way ill be able to be in a healthy long lasting relationship, is if I find someone that cant force me to escape myself? She said that i also have high expectation of myself, that rolls over to my expectations of others. Most people are simply incapable of rising to my expectations. Which is reasonable....... You know.. I like her. I like the whole seeing a shrink thing too. Its nice. I just sit there. Talk. and answers questions. She just sits there, writes, makes comments and suggestions. Thats enough about that.<br />
<br />
I'm curious as to what Bridgette is doing with her life....<br />
<br />
Umm.. I just walked away from my computer, then came back to finish writin.. and I forgot about what else I wanted to write about.. So be on the lookout for a sequel to this post.<br />

I think that we have all been sleeping on Kobe Bryant. Trust me, he is alot smarter than we give him credit for. Therefore, I refuse to believe Forbes' estimate that Kobe Bryant is only worth a mere $150 million. No way! And so you can further understand my thinking, lets take a look at his earnings:.
<span id="fullpost"> </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<b>Kobe Career Earnings:</b><br />
Contract #1- 3 year, 3.5million<br />
Contract #2- 6 year, 70 million<br />
Contract #3- 7 year, 136 million<br />
Contract #4- 3 year, 84 million<br />
<br />
That's 221 million in salary alone since 1996.<br />
<br />
<b>Kobe Bryant Endorsements</b><br />
His endorsements started before he was even drafted inking a deal worth $48 Million with Adidas. His Nike deal right before his arrest was worth $45 Million. That’s nearly $100 Million just with two sneaker deals.<br />
Throw in his own video game, Sprite, McDonald’s, Nubeo, Smart Car, and most recently Turkish Airlines, Spalding and Upper Deck; over his 15 year career his endorsements are said to have averaged anywhere from $13 Million to $20 Million which I think is conservative.<br />
<br />
According to Forbes:<br />
2008 – $18 Million in Endorsements<br />
2009 – $24 Million in Endorsements<br />
2011 – $28.2 Million in Endorsements<br />
<br />
This would put estimates of Kobe’s total earnings conservatively at $416 Million ($221 Million NBA Salary, $196 Million Endorsements – Using low of $13 Million). The total earnings probably exceeds $500 Million, which would mean that Kobe and his family squandered at a minimum of $266 Million and that none of his investments have earned him any money.<br />
<br />
For that reason there is no way that I believe that $150 Million figure. My theory is that his divorce scare in 2003 was enough for him to realize what having no pre-nup really meant. He began sending funds to an off shore account and now has no problem cutting a $75 million check because he knows he’s sitting on at least $266 somewhere.

Over the past couple days I've become addicted to this show "Good Luck Charlie". A year or two ago i saw the previews for it, and i was less than impressed, but one day there was absolutely nothing else on, and i started watching this. It was oddly hilarious, and I thought that it was cool that the whole series is basically about Charlie... The toddler.<br />
<br />
The events of each episode become material for a video diary Teddy(big sister) is making for her younger sister.<span id="fullpost"> </span><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Teddy hopes the videos will provide useful advice for Charlie after they have both grown up and Teddy has moved out. Also at the end of each video, she states, "Good luck, Charlie" or may even say it indirectly such as "Wish them good luck, Charlie".<br />
<br />
<br />
If you find the time, turn to the Disney channel and watch the show. Its also on ON Demand for your convenience! You wont regret it.

A week after signing a 5 year extension with the my Chicago Bulls worth 94 million.. Mr. Rose is close to signing a 10 year deal with Addidas worth 250 million. If everything goes as planned.. Starting next season.. Derrick Rose will be making almost 45 million a year. He's come a long way from englewood...

A couple days ago i got a call from my little sister. The conversation went like this<br />
Her: OMG Guess what?!<br />
Me: What?<br />
Her: You said that it would happen by the end of my freshmen year, i waited all the way until my senior year!<br />
Me: You lost your virginity.. I Hope it wasnt to the person I think it was...<span id="fullpost"> </span><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Wow, I actually had alot of mixed feelings when hearing the news.. I was happy, I was concerned, i was worried...But she was just really excited. I could hear the huge smile she had on her face in her voice. The way i was interrogating her almost made me feel like her father.. But she was so happy, i couldn't help but be happy for her, and I was glad that she didnt lose it to the person that I first suspected. (Her ex boyfriend; he was a douche bag)<br />
<br />
<br />
She was in her car leaving the guys house, so I told her to come over so we could talk. So she came over, told me the story. I asked the normal questions: How was it? Did it hurt? She said it hurt but it was good and she liked it. (It could have been terrible but its not like she had anything to compare it to). Then i made fun of her a little bit because of how she was acting. But then I had to buckle down and give her the rules of the road.<br />
<br />
<br />
The next thing that came out of my mouth was: Were you ready?<br />
<br />
<br />
I honestly don't know if I was ready when it first happened. But it happened. It lasted all of 10 seconds. It was with the person that i loved at the time. It was on the couch in her basement. I wish I could remember more about that night. I wounder if she does? .... Pause... This post is not about me...<br />
<br />
<br />
Well originally, in this post I was going to talk about my conversation that I had with her. But now a couple things are keeping me from doing that.<br />
1. I dont feel like it anymore.... and that pretty much sums it up....

So my old laptop decided to start working again! Filled with memories.. I went through everything.. Pictures, videos, old high school papers.. everything.. But one folder that stood out to me the most was "Creative Works".. This was the folder where I put the things that I wrote while i was going through a creative moment. I had a few scenes of a screen play and 5 chapters of a book I was writing. I read over the two of them, laughed at the screenplay, it was suppossed to be a romantic comedy. And i was immediately drawn to the story of the book I was writing. But why didnt I finish?
<span id="fullpost"> </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
I realized that unfortunately I can only do that stuff when Im having a "creative moment". Other wise, i dont have it in me, I dont know what should happen next in the story.... I also remember that i initially stopped writing the book because I no longer had anyone to proofread it.. Yeah I know, anyone who can read, can proofread a book, but i didnt want anyone to do it. I needed someone who knew me and I knew them, and I had to be able to trust their criticism. I dont trust the opinions of too many people. So when find someone else, ill finish the book. I also have to figure out where I want the story to go. Which isnt that easy to do on command (for me).<br />
<br />
And I dont think I was seriously writing the screenplay anyway.. Im not sure if I every even told anyone that I was writing it. It was about this fun loving guy who was just young and enjoying life but died tragically in a bungee jumping accidnt. And in his will, he stated that he wanted to particular people to plan his memorial service. It was two of his best friends. The twist was that they dated years ago and had a tough break up, but would be reunited to plan the service.. And thats the story.<br />
<br />
I wasnt sure how I wanted to end it though... do i want a happy expected ending where they mak up and its all peachy keen, or do i want the woman to just say that she cant do it again, and halt him in his steps... Who knows? Honestly, scree plays are easier to write than books but they definitely demand more imagination... YOu have ot see every moment in your head before you get it on paper. Its rough, but fun..<br />
<br />
I havent been on this site in a while. And i honestly kind of miss it.. I have a few things to say tomorrow too, so look out for that.

Sometimes when you watch this man play, its hard not to think about the man that did it before him... Michael Jordan.. Derrick Rose hates being compared to Michael Jordan but sometimes you cant help but do it. The way he fearlessly drives to the rim and gets the ball in the hoop with the straightest face. He was the rookie of the year.. 2 time All Star..Youngest MVP in NBA history, he is global superstar.. But he doesnt wear his accomplishments on his sleeve, he just plays the game.<span id="fullpost"> </span><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>
<span id="fullpost">It was spread all around the country last week that he signed a 5 year extension with the bulls worth 94 million. But in an interview last monday he said.. "To tell you all the truth, I dont even know how much I get paid now, I just know that I get paid, I watch my accounts weekly, theyre growing, and Im happy. I just play my game"... </span><br />
<br /><br />
Most NBA players would be boasting about this, and splurging.. showing everyone how much money he has. It wasnt a secret that Jordan did lots of this in his day. Car, clothes. houses... But not Derrick. Actually, a few days after he signed his new contract, he quietly walked into the UIC Pavilion with a few friends to watch his high school basketball team play.( Of course once the media spotted him and plastered his face all over the big screen tv, he had to beef up his security for the evening. He doesnt spend a bunch of money on clothes. The last few times Ive seen him, he looked like a regular guy, White v neck, jeans and jordans. I have seen his custom range rover but... The man has to get around right?<br />
<br /><br />
But I think that it is easy for people to get really full of themselves in this league. I read a story on ESPN.com a few days ago and the guy was upset about an interview that he did with Lebron James. The reporter said that not only was the Lebron late, he showed up in a motorcade of about 5 black SUVs, filled with lebrons unneeded entourage. Then to make matters worse.. The reporter couldnt talk to Lebron directly... He had to talk to a "liason" who gave the message to Lebron. For example, they were doing a photo shoot. And the reporter wanted lebron to drive right and dunk. So he'd say "O.K., have LeBron drive right,’ and then he’d turn to LeBron and say, ‘LeBron, go right.’ ” Are you serious?<br />
<br /><br />
Chicago is his city, and he wants to put it on his back and carry it wherever he can. I had the chance to work with him on a charity project a few months ago, and you can tell that he is really into it. He puts a huge emphasis on giving back to his old neighborhood. And whats most admirable is that its not a front. Thats him. He's MJ without the ego. Lets hope he gets a ring to put in his trophy case in the future.

The other day I was asked "would you rather be love or admired? I thought about it for a minute... But i didnt even need that much time.... I already knew my answer...<span id="fullpost">
Id rather be loved.. hands down... Admiration is fine, but i dont think its that important.. And I think most people would agree with me. They want to be loved. Like i said, admiration is fine, but it wont keep you warm at night... (Unless you are a total narcissist)..Not only that, admiration can come and go...In the words of Drake..Love.. When its real, it doesnt fade..

Today was alumni day at my high school. And i saw many old faces, some I was more happy to see than others. It actually reminded me of those family gatherings when you go to and you have to act like you like everyone you see. And every face you see, there are a millions thoughts going through your head at once about that one person, all the memories good or not. And often times you just find your self smiling on the outside, and saying "I really don't like you" in your head.. Hilarious stuff really... But about an hour after i left I found myself siting around the kitchen table at a friends house and talking about all that happened... But one thing that we both lingered on was this girl..<span id="fullpost">
Everyone gave there comment about her then my buddy said.. "low key, thats like David's dream girl"... When he said it, i didn't think much of it but after a late night drive... It dawned on me.... He's kind of right.... She fits the profile... </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<br />
And she follows me... on twitter...Hence the title of this post..<br />
<br />
<br />
And if youre wondering why a late night drive made me think about all of this.... I was listening to drakes latest album.. Take Care.. And if you have ever heard that album, youll understand that its hard not to think about anything except, girls.. Past present, future, Whatever...

Have you ever been sitting someplace silent, then out of nowhere just start laughing really hard because something really funny popped in your head. That's been happening to me pretty often lately. I remember i was sitting at work a couple weeks ago and I just started dying laughing. I was thinking about the time that I was telling Jade about D Bass and she started mocking me in the dumbest voice. And it was absolutely hilarious.. (You had to have been there and heard her). Truth is.. even though our relationship was often times going terribly wrong, there were many great moments.
<span id="fullpost">
A day that ill never forget was actually the last great moment that we shared together. It was when we were at my house and we were talking about Thomas.I actually dont remember the whole conversation, I just remember us coming to the conclusion that he was a "little bitch", thats all that matters, lol.
Ive also come to the conclusion that i was a big factor in all the bad that happened. (Jade had her fair share of course) But looking back, I was tweaking. the stuff I use to do and say was off the wall to say the least. Like i remember several times, acting like I was mad, but I wasnt really upset at all, then id actually start getting angry then I'd stop and wonder "why am I mad again", and I would have no idea. lol. Or when Jade would think that I was upset when I wasnt, then all of a sudden I would actually be upset and again.. I had no idea why. Man ,you have to love high school relationships.
You know, I was looking at all my old facebook messages the other day. and I cant across ours. The conversations were so weird but we'd still talk for hours. While I was reading them, i could see her and I in my head actually having this conversation. I could see little me, and little her standing there talking. I heard her voice, I saw her facial expressions, it was so nostalgic. And i absolutely loved it. It was actually a moment when it sent chills down my spine.
Now dont get me wrong,the feelings I had for jade are long one, and I wish her and hers well. I know we'll never be together again, or even have teh same relationship that we did, and im cool with that. However, i have come to the conclusion that ill probably see her several times again before I die, because its obviously unavoidable, and im ok with that too.
I actually have more to say but I have a meeting in an hour, so i probably should start getting dressed. But there wil be a follow up post. I have more stories to tell. lol

J. Cole- Lost Ones... this has to be one of J. Cole's realest songs. It was on one of his earlier mixtapes, and made its way on his first album, I applaud the decision.

<a href="http://crooksandliars.com/files/uploads/2008/04/john-and-cindy-mccain.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="250" src="http://crooksandliars.com/files/uploads/2008/04/john-and-cindy-mccain.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
So i was recently looking through the tax documents of presidents, and presidential candidates... and while looking at John McCain's i quickly realize that this dude was totally screwed.<span id="fullpost">
So John is supposedly worth about 54 million but that is primarily based on what he is entitled to from his marriage with Cindy McCain.. If you didn't know already, cindy is the only heir to her a fathers beer company. (the company that owns Budweiser). and She controls the family trust. And it looks like she has everything in her name except for their joint checking accounts which is worth about 250k.... He gets 54k from a pension, has about a 2 million in life insurance and an IRA plan totaling his personal net worth (not including his wife) being around 3-4 million tops. His kids have about 10 million in mutual funds in their name, and not to mention the trust funds that they surely have in place. That means that McCain is worth less than half of what his kids are worth.
So i say all of this to say... I hope John is really nice to cindy or has a really good prenup... Because if he doesnt... Cindy will probably take her kids and her 9 figure bank account and John will be.... screwed..
(Lots of rambling... loads of fun, and im bored at work, bare with me)

<br />
<br />While this probably was the most expensive low budget video of all time, it was so much more. The first time I heard Otis By Kanye and Jay-z, I loved it, it felt like the were taking it back to their Heart of the city days. For those that don't know, Heart of the city was on Jay -Zs blueprint album and was Kanye's first platinum produced record. BUt anywho, i was watching the video with one of my friends and when it was over she was just like "That was terrible, extremely low budget, i expected so much more from them and especially for this song".. At that point, the only argument I could make was "That was a 350k car that they just destroyed... so this has to be the most expensive low budget video of all time".. But after watching it again, and getting a chance to sit back and actually think about what i was watching and the msessages that they were sending in the song, in the video, and throughout the whole album.. all I can say is... WHOA.. <span id="fullpost">
<br />I was going to explain what i thought jay and Kanye were saying in this song, but i think im going to save that for a later post, and include it when I explain what "Watch the Throne" really means. Stay Tuned
