FIGHT!
Seeing brawls on the basketball court is not uncommon, but when female players are involved? There’s something you don’t see very often. Okay, this isn’t a brawl per se but…
Pictures from the Honolulu Festival
Went to the Honolulu Festival for the first time. Lots of stuff to see and games and crafts for the kids. Besides the $5 parking fee at the Hawaii Convention Center, the event and activities are free, even that ride on a Segway.
Some pictures.
Blinging Up
Not as snazzy as the brown camo design that’s unavailable from Amazon, but this brown Crumpler “The Industry Disgrace” looks comfy and slip proof.
Not quite Starter Kit material, but this extra purchase should prevent some aches and scratches.
Gearing Up
After talking camera lenses with those who know and knowing my reluctance to put down the big bucks for serious glass, how about the well reviewed Canon 55-250mm IS telephoto lens?
Just adding to the DSLR Camera Starter Kit.
Nike Air Trainer 1 “No Ka Oi”
These Nike Air Trainer 1’s are inspired by Brandon Roy and the Portland Trailblazers, but they sure have that No Ka Oi feel.
To bad these player exclusives are not for general sale.
Video of the Day: Lady Gaga’s Telephone
Interested in the life and culture inside of a women’s prison. Wonder no more and watch Lady Gaga’s new over-sensationalized video of Telephone.
Once you kill a cow, you gotta make a burger.
Speaking of Kobe…
With recent talk of Joe Bryant, here’s his son in action making seven game winning shots.
On Second Thought… Coach Jellybean
After giving the idea of Joe Bryant applying for the Head Coach position for UH men’s bball, there’s definite business merit to this. UH Athletics has been saying they have to run their programs more like a business and that the buyout of Coach Nash’s current contract is a business decision.
Hiring Coach Jellybean could be a business windfall. Just imagine what would happen if son Kobe starts donning UH gear. A few pics of him in public and UH gear sales would definitely climb. Just imagine a photo like this but wearing Hawaii colors.
And what would happen if Kobe could manage a visit to the Stanley for a UH game? Schedule conflicts aside, his appearance would bring in the crowds. And how about Dad arranging some “casual” pickup games with UH players and #24 who might bring some yellow and purple friends. Kanye West would be there.
The UH basketball program would, of course, have to change from Converse to Nike so the team could rock some green orange Zoom Kobe V’s.

So despite any actual coaching requirements, Coach Jellybean makes a good business sense. 🙂
Head Coach Jellybean??
Now this is a surprise! Kobe Bryant’s father, Joe “Jellybean” Bryant, says he’s applying for the head coaching position for the UH Men’s Basketball team. Jellybean has some coaching experience but isn’t renowned for this win-loss record you know.
But on the flipside, his mere connection with Kobe and the NBA will surely attract talent for the Bows. And there could be some creative promotions involving a rainbow of colorful jellybeans.
Could he be the next UH Men’s Basketball Coach?
Day 4 with a Dark Cherry Mocha
Thursday marks my fourth day downing a Dark Cherry Mocha. After a week of this (and $20 spent), I think I’ll be over Starbucks’ latest addiction.
I hope I don’t start peeing dark cherries…
What Are You Doing on June 30?
What are your plans on June 30, 2010? Does it involve something like this?
Yes, that is the official trailer for Twilight’s Eclipse, and yes, that’s a shirtless Team Jacob at the 1:18 mark.
Day 3 of Dark Cherry Mocha
It’s my third day drinking Starbucks’ new Dark Cherry Mocha drink. I figure if I overdose on this fruity deliciousness right away then I’ll be over it soon enough.
There’s just something about the drink’s name that’s sorta taboo and sorta risque. Makes for an interesting drink nonetheless. 😉
