Is Dating A Jock A Good Thing?
June 25, 2008
Hey folks,
All I can say is .... GO JOCKS!!!!
"Tell a friend to tell a friend!!!"
The Kim Kardashian-Reggie Bush romance continues to burn strong.
The two lovebirds recently enjoyed a romantic vacation in Italy, where they were photographed sitting side by side while an artist sketched them in Florence.
How cute.
Glamour girls dating professional athletes is an old sport but one that is thriving more than ever with supermodel Gisele Bundchen and New Englands Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, Jessica Simpson and Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, Hilary Duff and New York Islanders center Mike Comrie.
Jennifer Hudson reportedly had a short fling with New York Jets safety Kerry Rhodes but supposedly went back to her longtime sweetie James Peyton, the maintenance engineer.
Author Staci Robinson cautions women about dating professional athletes. In her novel Interceptions, she writes about what it’s like to date a baller about to go pro.
And she writes from first-hand experience.
She was engaged to her college sweetheart at UCLA Roman Phifer, who went on to marry another woman named Alexis. Yes, that Alexis, who later became the fiancée of Kanye West though the two split earlier this year.
“The moment a guy puts that NFL or NBA jersey on, they are thrown up onto this pedestal to be worshipped by a large part of our society,” Robinson said, “and with that comes all this temptation, beautiful women, spending many nights in five star hotel rooms. I mean you can go from a beat up old bucket car to a $100,000 dollar Mercedes sedan all within weeks. The transitions are sometimes overwhelming for young couples - but the excitement of it all keeps you coming back. If you enter into a relationship with one of these guys, you have to proceed with caution and really know what you’re getting into. And you have to keep your stuff together, stay on the path that leads to the personal and professional goals you have created for yourself instead of getting swallowed up by the demands of his career.”
Or maybe a pro athlete is better off doing it Tiger Woods’ way. Marry an au pair.

Rock Band heads to Japan with help from Q Entertainment
June 02, 2008
Hey folks,
Even playing musical instruments have gone to the gaming consoles. I have mixed emotions about this one. Check it out and judge for yourselves.
"Tell a friend to tell a friend!!!"
Harmonix and MTV are bringing Rock Band to Japan with some help from Tetsuya Mizuguchi's Q Entertainment (Lumines). According to the press release, "The two studios will work together to develop the title, marking the first US-originated rock music game to be heavily localized for the Japanese market." No clue on what that heavy localization will entail.
It has been little over a week since a Harmonix rep was asked about the possibility of seeing Japanese content in Rock Band. At the time, the rep said an official announcement on future DLC plans would arrive in "a little over a week." So, the question remains: How does one program instrument tracks for a Genki Rockets song?
