What comes to mind when you think of Summer vacation? Beaches, barbecues, swimming pools, summer love, non stop partying and chilling with friends? That all sounds nice. Is that what you're summer is really like though? If so, kudos to you but for a lot of people including myself summer vacation means laziness, boredom, and trying to hit up friends to do something.
If I'm not at the gym or at work I'm most likely wondering the house in PJs. Needless to say, I can't wait to hear some school bells. If you are as bored as I am let's work together. Send me some blog topics through the comments or just hit me up on Twitter- @DeiSoFresh.

Yeezus, Born Sinner, WMWTSO, and Talk a Good Game
Another failed prediction- Kanye West's Yeezus outsold J.Cole's Born Sinner by 30,878 copies in the first week. Here are the sales for all the albums that came out last week including Mac Miller's Watching Movies with the Sound Off and Kelly Rowland's Talk a Good Game.

What surprises me the most about all of this is the fact that Mac Miller outsold Kelly Rowland. Seriously? Where are all of the Destiny's Child fans at? I thought the story behind Dirty Laundry would for sure attract a lot of consumers. I mean c'mon, Mac Miller beat Kelly Rowland, am I the only one bothered by this?
Back to the J. Cole and Kanye thing, the way I see it- J. Cole's album sales went up from the last one while Kanye's significantly decreased. I don't know who bought Yeezus, maybe the Kardashian family hoarded a couple hundred copies but regardless, Kanye should send them all a fruit basket.
Don't get me wrong, Kanye will always be my favorite rapper, but Cole got robbed. By 30,878 people. To Mr. Cole, if you're reading this, don't be discouraged. And to Mr. West, congrats on the baby and I mean no disrespect.

NBA Season Recap and Superlatives
Even though my predictions were a fail the Miami Heat are once again world champions and LeBron's legacy continues to shine. Let's recap the 2012-3 season with some superlatives.
Best newcomer- Damian Lillard. No doubt the biggest standout of his draft class and was close to taking the Blazers to the Playoffs.
Best All-Around- LeBron James and The Miami Heat- MVP, 27 game win streak need I say more? This team was legendary and the addition of the Birdman added more flavor to the franchise.
Biggest Disappointment- Derrick Rose. Like I said, he better pop off next season and I don't want to see any missed games.
Biggest WTF- Andrew Bynum. That Dwight Howard trade screwed over the 76ers big time. I feel bad for Jrue Holiday who had to put up with that for the whole season, not only that but Doug Collins had enough and resigned, that's gotta hurt. Thanks a lot, Bynum.
Most Embarrassing- Brandon Knight. Whether it was getting crossed by Kyrie or being posturized by DeAndre Jordan, this season has been a low point for the young guard.
Most Likely to Succeed- Golden State Warriors. Give them two more years and a healthy roster and this team could make it to the Finals.
Class Clown- Brandon Jennings. The Bucks are going to win in 6, HA!

The Kardashian Kurse pt 2
So why do the Kardashians have a negative affect on the careers of every black male they've dated? Here's my answer: Phony lifestyle and Reality TV. I don't think any normal person would want to be a part of that family and the way they live. All those cameras, gossip, and meaningless chatter, you could lose brain cells from it.
As for their little show, I've come up with a solution- Black men and reality television don't mix. Name one black man who has prospered from a reality TV show. Reality TV destroys black men's careers. Whenever a prominent black man has his own reality show he is either
A) Retired
B) Should retire
C) Trying too hard to get back on the saddle and end up making a fool of himself.
Here's a list of examples: Run's House, Flavor of Love, For the Love of Ray J, Eddie Griffin's Going for Broke, Coolio's Rules, Snoop Dogg's Father Hood, the T.O Show, Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch.
I rest my case. Brothers need to stay away from reality TV and interrelationships with famous but talentless women if they know what's good for them.

The Kardashian Kurse
I'm sorry Kanye but J. Cole is about to embarrass you. I know what I said earlier about Kanye's album being a big deal regardless but it has become apparent that Born Sinner is going to be #1. It hurts me to say this but Kanye is slipping into obscurity. But its not his fault- its Kim's. Kanye West has become another victim of the Kardashian Kurse.
Every successful black male who was romantically involved with one of the Kardashians has seen their careers go down the drain ever since. Kanye West and Jaden Smith are the latest victims. Kanye's street cred has shattered and his music has gotten noticeably worse since he has been with Kim. For example, Cruel Summer was a disappointment. When did a Kanye West album ever debut at #2??? Jaden Smith, poor kid, has been rumored to be involved with Kylie Jenner. The result- After Earth bombed in the box office. See what I mean? Stay tuned for Part 2

10 Reasons Why I Can't Stand the Indiana Pacers
Yes I am a Heat fan, shut up.
- Indiana's racist reputation- Every time I see the fans, I can't help but see most of those smiling faces behind white sheets. Like they use that arena for Klan meetings during offseason.
- Their coach- His name is Frank Vogel, doesn't that sound like somebody you want to punch in the face?
- David West- Nuff said
- Lance Stephenson- Dude looks like a lizard and every time he gets called for something he sways his head in a douchey way that makes me want to slap him
- They always try and start something with LeBron- Mentally and Physically. The Pacers are like the Bad Boy Pistons for Bron right now.
- Their colors- Just ew
- Dirty players- The whole freaking team
- Corrupt refs well- How else can you explain the non stop bad calls? If these guys regulated pro soccer for any Hispanic country, they would've been killed and their deaths would probably be celebrated.
- I Cannot stand a Cinderella story in sports
- Game 7- We'll see how this ends.
B.I.G.'s Killer Revealed
I don't understand how murders can go unsolved. Its all a matter of importance. If the government and the Police Department consider the situation important then they will solve it. Which makes me ask this question, will Biggie's killer ever confess? Is this dude just chillin somewhere in Brooklyn with a small family trying to make ends meet. Maybe he will confess it on his deathbed. Come out with a book titled "I Shot Ya" and do an exclusive interview. The NYPD must be a bunch of country music fans because they don't give a crap whenever a rapper is slain. That's just a thought that came to mind.
