The Not So Secret Service

On a recent trip to Columbia, South America. The Unites States Secret Service decided it would be a good idea if they turned Obama’s trip down south into a Bachelor Party. From what I have been reading, it seems it is very common in Columbia for women to have sex for money. A dozen or so United States Secret Service Agents decided they are going to party the night away with a few Colombian ladies of the night. Yes, Prostitutes. I just wonder what in the world these secret service agents were thinking. They are in a very high end hotel, that is packed with US Security, Colombian Security. White House staff and most importantly, members of the press. With the way today’s media is, you have to be out of your god damned mined to be doing something like this with all of the news outlets covering an Obama visit like this.

 

The greatest part of this entire story is the background story of how these genius’s got caught. It seems that it started from an argument between one of the agents and one of the prostitutes. What are they arguing about you ask? The $47 that the agent did not want to pay to the woman he had relations with. Are you kidding me? $47? You have to be kidding me. I am assuming that this guy has never had a relationship with a Latin woman. I am that all Latin woman are money hungry prostitutes. What I am saying is that they don’t take crap from anyone, and they will throw a loud and obnoxious fit if they think it is necessary. At this time, this prostitute thought it was necessary and was banging on doors and walls trying to get a hold of her $47. Pretty insane if you ask me. Now these guys are going to have to get interrogated, and most likely lose there jobs for one guy who was to cheap to give up just shy of $50.

I personally don’t really care about any of this. I just want to see pictures of the sexy Colombian girls!

Facebook’s Crazy Instagram Purchase

On Monday, April 9th, Facebook announced that it had purchased the popular photo-sharing network Instagram for a cool $1 billion. This means that Facebook has gained more ground in the photo-sharing business. After all, one of Facebook’s major selling points for its users is the ease with which people can upload and share their photos; however, when an independent application arose with the sole purpose of sharing photos, Facebook made sure to acquire it. Instagram has enjoyed over 30 million downloads since its release in October of 2010, making it a very attractive—and understandable—acquisition for Facebook.

 

Instagram Fast Facts:

  •   Instagram’s CEO Kevin Systrom stands to make $400 million from the sale.
  •   Instagram, a company that is not even two years old, is worth more than the New York Times, which has been around for over 110 years, thanks to Facebook’s purchase.
  •   Not surprisingly, many loyal Instagram fans are upset over its acquisition by Facebook.
  •   Instagram was founded in 2010 by Mike Krieger and Kevin Systrom. Even a month ago, they insisted that they wanted to remain independent from larger social media organizations (Facebook), but they seemed to have changed their mind. Isn’t it amazing what a $1 billion offer will do?

 

Implications for Social Media:

 

  •   Facebook is the undisputed king of social media. Zuckerberg has proved that his company will outright takeover any competitor by use of incredible amounts of cash. The scary thing is: who wouldn’t take that much money?
  •   If Facebook doesn’t invent something, it’ll wait until someone does—then buy it. This means that ownership is once again determined by who has more cash, not by who has more creativity.

 

There is a bright side to all of this, though: Instagram’s sale means that independent developers still stand a chance to make their fortunes thanks to the Internet. Sure, they may have to get rid of their independence to do so, but most people who developed an application less than two years ago would likely walk away from it for $400 million. While this sale is a reminder that Facebook is indeed a social media giant that will likely not meet its match for several years (if ever), it is also a glimmer of hope to independent developers who have great ideas.

 

Instagram’s employees will join Facebook as part of the company’s full-time staff, so they’re not even completely selling out. Instead, they’re simply allowing someone else to take ownership of their project in exchange for a ton of money and a few secure jobs. Still, whatever side you’re on, one thing’s for sure: There’s no end in sight for Facebook’s obscene spending power.

Another Professional Athlete Goes Broke

warren-sapp-wheres-my-money

Another one bites the dust. I was a big fan of Warren Sapp when he was a player. He was the fasted fat guy around. He has officially lost all of my respect. Over the course of his football career. He made upwards of $40 Million Dollars. $40 MILLION DOLLARS. It is being stated that currently he is earning roughly $120,000 on a monthly basis. I just don’t understand how dumb these guys have to be to just piss away all of there money. With all these, he also says that he lost his Super Bowl Ring and his College Championship Ring from his days with THE U. He didn’t seems to sentimental about these items, but I am sure he is full of shit. There also seems to be some baby mama drama involved. He is said to owe roughly $6.7 million dollars including back child support, alimony and other bad debts. He will most likely go through this still making a ton of money and be debt free. Welcome to America.

The Worst Part About Todays NBA!

Since I was a youngster, I was always into sports. I played just about everything growing up, and played competitive Baseball and Basketball around the US. I was always taught to play tough and compete hard. Flopping was not something that was heard of at the time, and you either win or lose. A little jersey pulling here and there when the ref was not watching, but that’s about as far is it went. That has now completely changed in today’s NBA game.

I have been an avid watcher of the NBA since my youth and rarely miss a game that is on TV. The one thing that happens in just about every game is flopping. If you aren’t aware of what flopping is, it is when a player intentionally pretends like he got fouled. There is obviously not as many referees as there is players, and it is just impossible for the referees to be watching every player on the court at all times. Sometimes the ref see’s what appears to be a foul, but in all reality, it is just a guy taking a dive trying to get a foul on the opposing player to gain back possession of the ball. To me, this seems like cheating. Not only cheating the other team out of there play, but cheating the fans out of watching basketball. I personally think if a player is caught flopping, he should be fined or suspended a game. Lets make basketball real again.

Recently, ESPN has created an awesome segment on there website about this exact topic, outing all of these NBA Floppers. This has never been a topic that has been publicly spoken about or ridiculed, so I am glad to see ESPN calling out these guys! Here are some of the videos that ESPN highlights.

Tony Parker of the San Antonio Spurs

Jordan Williams of the New Jersey Nets

The $640 Mega Millions Insanity!

megamillionsI am not much of a big lottery player. I see all these people at the local grocery yelling at the lotto guy: “Double Box, Triple Box, 4, 10, 54, 36 Straight”. I will be honost, I have no idea what these guys are talking about. The only time I really get involved with playing the lotto is when the PowerBall or MegaMillions are north of $150 Million. Not like I couldn’t us anything below. I am just a sheep following the hurd like the rest of the crazies that I saw bum rushing bodega’s for the hope of becoming worth a half of a billion dollars from a dollar and a dream.

The rush for the lucky numbers was unreal yesterday in New York City. I myself went in to three different stores around my neighborhood to get a good mix of megamillions tickets. In my crazy mind I think my chances increase if I go with this strategy. The truth of the matter is, I know there is no strategy. The odds are the same no matter what combination of numbers you have. All this common sense takes the day off when you have the chance to be one of the 1%.

After a long friday night, on one of my many social networking accounts. Someone posts the winning numbers. I run to my secret hiding spot with my soon to be winning ticket. I am pretty good with numbers and with a quick glance over my tickets. I can already tell my dollar didn’t get me any dreams. Now its back to reality.
