In school all the time at the library, they used to have this saying. "Never judge a book by it's cover". We used to hear this each time we stepped into the place. Keep in mind, I love books. So it was just ringing in my head at this point. Even right now. She really should have just printed out a poster(s) or something. Anyways. As most of us found out. That motto goes beyond just books. It's applied to people. The easiest being 'American Idol'. Each season has that one person that blows all expectations outta the water. ( You do know that when people put they hand to their ear, that they can't sing,right?)
Actually, the easiest if we are being real, is white men and basketball. I used to always go to the park with my white friends and everybody. About everybody, used to think they was about to run us off the court. Nobody gave us any chance. "Never judge a book by it's cover". Granted, so of my friends did suck. We just didn't let them play. (We would win more then lose in-case you was wondering).
I remember first watching 'White Men Can't Jump' and wanting to run the game like Billy and Sid. I then remembered that this is real life. Somebody would shot our ass. Bad enough we were 16 talking shit to people in they 20's. (We was some cocky fucks).
Plot
Billy Hoyle is a former college basketball player who makes his living by hustling streetballers that assume he cannot play well because he is white. Billy never degrades his race when joining on pickup games; he simply allows his African American opponents to falsely believe they have a natural advantage over him. Such a player is Sidney Dean, a talented but arrogant player who is beaten twice by Billy, once in a half-court team game and later in a one-on-one shootout for money.
Billy and his Hispanic girlfriend Gloria Clemente are on the run from out-of-state mobsters because of a gambling debt. A voracious reader, making note of obscure facts, Gloria's goal in life is to be a contestant on the television show Jeopardy! and make a fortune. Sidney wants to buy a house for his family outside the rough Baldwin Village, Crenshaw District neighborhood of Los Angeles. He talks Billy into a partnership and they hustle other players.
Favorite Characters.
(I also had the hugest crush on Rosie Perez when I was young. The hugest)
Gloria is Billy girlfriend and she has one mission. To get on Jeopardy!. She has one big vast knowledge of foods that start with the letter Q.
Billy Hoyle is a former college basketball player who makes his living by hustling streetballers that assume he cannot play well because he is white. Billy has this saying that he 'Rather look bad and win then look good and loss". I like that. As the movie goes on, we find out that Billy have made some big life decisions for the win.
Sidney Deane, becomes Hoyle's "agent," arranging his various inner city scams. Deane doesn't feel as though he's selling out his own people; he goes along with Hoyle to provide a better life for his wife, Rhonda, and son.
Favorite Moments
I have used this line from time to time. Not in the same context of the movie but just in general. Y'all feel free to use it when somebody don't know nothing. Just make sure, they actually don't know nothing. Air brushed bullshit.
This didn't make sense to me then, still don't make sense to me now. You thirsty, drink the water. Ugh women.
One of the funnest scenes in the movie. So fast with the switch up. You remember how I said that my friend and I wanted to hustle some people in basketball? Well this one right here made us think twice. That would be funny tho.

I didn't know at all that Halt and Catch Fire was back tonight. I had no clue. I just checked their Facebook (Which I follow) and apparently they have been posting about the new season coming forever. I knew that the show been renewed for season three but I didn't know the release date. This is like forgetting about knowing that you about to get some money and it just pops up. HACF is that surprise money for me right now. I had no clue and if it wasn't for one random commercial I still won't have known.
I actually missed the whole last season of Mike and Molly this way. (I caught up)
Anyways. Let's enjoy this tonight. 9pm AMC. They giving us two hours.

It's amazing the number of things that I thought I have blogged about and never did. I have been searching my blog and I have never talked about this on here? Like, how is that even so? I must have been so deep into the show that it tripped outta my mind. I can't see how that happen.
I think this show ranks up in the top of re-watches for me. Along with The Wire, Friday Night Lights and Breaking Bad. I have watched this show so much that Netflix took it off the section. That's not the real reason but it sounds good. Or fucked up. Either way, Free-form (Formally known as ABC Family) has all the season's on demand. They also have a movie that's coming out. Wait, what?!? Life is good. I just found that out two minutes ago.
The series follows students of the fictitious Cyprus-Rhodes University (CRU), located in Ohio, who participate in the school's Greek system. The show's plots often take place within the confines of the fictional fraternities Kappa Tau Gamma (ΚΤΓ) and Omega Chi Delta (ΩΧΔ), or the fictional sorority Zeta Beta Zeta (ΖΒZ). Throughout the course of the series, other non-Greek characters and situations are introduced, but they all tie into larger relationships with the Greeks. The series follows Rusty and Casey Cartwright as they endure the events surrounding the Greek system at Cyprus-Rhodes.
Characters to Watch:
Cappie
Originally uninterested in Greek life, Cappie rises to become the president of the unruly Kappa Tau. His carefree and fun-loving personality hides a very sharp mind. Despite that, Cappie has no actual goals and no intentions of leaving Kappa Tau which he considers his home. The only time Cappie considered moving on is for his first love, Casey. Casey and Cappie dated in their freshman year but Cappie’s partying ways conflicted with the more ambitious Casey. Ultimately, Casey left him. Cappie never recovered from losing Casey and as a result, he was unable to maintain any serious relationship afterward.
Ashleigh Howard
Known for her outrageous fashion sense and ditzy personality, Ashleigh is Casey’s best friend since their freshman year. She often played a supporting role in Casey’s endeavors. Her kind nature endeared her to most but also made her a pushover. Ashleigh is thrust into the spotlight at times. A recurring theme for Ashleigh is her poor choices in men. Though she tried to keep positive, her last relationships have made her more doubtful. Despite that, Ashleigh is looking forward to graduation.
Dale Kettlewell
Dale is Rusty’s neurotic, religious zealot roommate and he is also in the same Honors Engineering program. Initially, Dale despised the Greek system even forming an organization to protest their very existence at Cyprus-Rhodes. He tried to self-righteously steer Rusty away from Kappa Tau but usually found himself mixed up in Rusty’s predicaments. Through Rusty, Dale begins to interact with different Greeks. He quickly befriends Calvin despite his borderline homophobic beliefs. He forms a close bond with the rowdy Cappie based somewhat on their mutual feelings for Casey.
Rebecca Logan
A sophisticated but rebellious sister, Rebecca was distinguished among her rush class as her father was a prominent senator. Rebecca’s aloof and cynical attitude did not endear her to big sister Casey as they quickly become rivals.
Favorite Episodes:
Season One. Episode One. "Pilot"
Two siblings, Casey and Rusty Cartwright, attend Cyprus-Rhodes University. Rusty is a freshman science geek, who decides to rush a fraternity, invading his popular sister’s social life, giving them an opportunity to build a relationship with one another.
Cappie, Evan, and Dale go head-to-head in a debate over the Greek's social perks, the outcome of which will have a lasting impact on Greek restrictions. Rusty sleeps with U-SAG member, Tina. A double standard at ZBZ creates conflict between Casey and the other sisters.
Note: Dean Bowman (Alan Ruck) is on a date with a woman named Sloane, which is an allusion to his role in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Season Two. Episode 10. "Hell Week"
During the last week of the school year, the Greeks initiate their pledges. Rusty's failures lead the Kappa Tau's to question if he is a good fit. Casey and Max's relationship hits a road block when they realize they'll be spending the summer apart. Casey seeks advice from Lauren Conrad in a dream. Frannie leaves ZBZ with half the sisters to start a new sorority.

Season Three. Episode 1. "The Day After"
After being dumped by Casey, Max quit the grad school program and went back to England, unbeknownst to Casey and disappointing Rusty who needed help on an extra credit project for Organic Chem. In a flashback to the "End of the World" party the night before, it is revealed that Cappie did not pursue Casey because Evan unknowingly intervened. At the same party, it is revealed that Rebecca's secret kiss was with Fisher. Meanwhile, Dale confesses to Calvin that he broke their purity pledge, and proposes to Sheila.
Season Two. Episode 1. "Brothers and Sisters"
The fallout from spring break is felt during the annual Greek Week competition. Casey focuses on continuing the Zeta Beta’s winning streak while trying to control an unruly Rebecca. Meanwhile, Rusty and Calvin’s friendship is put to the test when Cappie and Evan’s rivalry intensifies. Additionally, Frannie tries to tell Casey about Evan.
Season Three. Episode 20. "All Children...Grow Up"
Calvin and Trip are nominated for Omega Chi's president. Casey got admitted into George Washington Law School in Washington DC and got rejected by CRU. Dale joins Rusty and Dana for spring break at Myrtle Beach and eventually admits he wants to have more fun in college. Ashleigh gets an unpaid internship as a trend forecaster. KT's "revenge plan" ultimately made Calvin the future president for the Omega Chi. Evan and Rebecca make up. Casey decides she wants to go to law school in DC instead of staying in Cyprus. Casey assumes that a long distance relationship would not work, and that they would have to break up at graduation. Angry that she thinks so little of them, Cappie breaks up with her.
Season One. Episode 5. "Liquid Courage"
The KT’s prepare to throw their legendary homecoming party, but when the main feature (a live model of Mount Vesuvius) malfunctions, it’s up to Rusty to save the day. Rusty manipulates Dale into contributing the Remington Herzog Atmospheric Destabilizing Module to the cause, impressing ZBZ pledge, Jen K. Casey gears up to meet Evan’s parents, who are more concerned with connecting with Senator Logan’s daughter, Rebecca, forcing Evan to choose between what’s best for his family’s “connections” and what’s best for his relationship with Casey.

As the opening ceremony for the Rio Olympics nears, KITH is set to release the Nike Air Zoom Talaria “USA” as part of its Medal Stand Olympic collection. The Talaria first made history in 1997 as revered Nike designers such as Tinker Hatfield set out to craft the ideal running shoe. The All-American colorway features white with red accents and blue breathable mesh, as well as a gold swoosh. Nike’s Zoom Air technology constitutes 3/4 of the midsole, thus keeping its wearer as close to the ground as possible. The Talaria “USA” will release on August 5th at the Nike x Kith Pop-Up Store in NYC to coincide with the start of the Rio Games.
