My name is Rasheed Amir Wade! Really it is!

Whats Going on World?

John W. Davis here.   Just had to share this story with you from Pistons.com.  No this is not Rasheed’s child or Amir’s.  It just a die hard Pistons fans infant child.   Just read the story. LOL

Clifford Wade and Latanya Bussell had an agreement about the naming of their first child. If Latanya had a boy, Clifford would name him; a girl, and Latanya would have the honor. Clifford, a lifelong Detroiter who says he comes to five Pistons games a season on average, knew precisely which name he wanted to go with. And it definitely wasn’t Dwyane.

“Rasheed is my favorite [Piston] and I also wanted as the middle name somebody off the bench so I chose Amir Johnson,” said Clifford, who named his son Rasheed Amir Wade.

Coincidentally, Clifford’s son has the same initials as Rasheed Abdul Wallace - and that’s where the similarities end for now. Fortunately for Clifford and Latanya, the four-month-old hasn’t exhibited any technical foul-worthy tantrums just yet. “He’s a great baby, nice, handsome little boy,” the proud papa gushed. “He’s very good. I just love him.”

Rasheed Amir Wade was born the morning of April 27, 2008. That night, the Pistons defeated the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 4 of their first-round series. The 93-84 victory sparked a five-game winning streak and signaled the end of the Sixers’ season. Wallace had one of his best performances of the playoffs, 20 points and 10 rebounds.

“Hopefully that can rub off on my mine and we can be watching him in the future, because I do want him to be one,” Clifford said. “Not just a basketball player but a Piston.”

What Piston would you name your child after?  Haha. Leave a Comment. 

Peace,

Whats up World?

John W. Davis. It’s time for another contest. YAH! I know right. Anyway. Since its summer time and people are taking those last minute vacations and or last few weeks before school, I thought why not, Poetry time!

Ok background time.

For those who don’t know or don’t remember, a Haiku is a Japanese poetry form. It’s got three lines and is supposed to have five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the third. Some translators and writers of Haiku, however, deemphasize precision with respect to the syllable count and instead emphasize that there is a kind of rhythm over the course of the three lines from something specific and concrete (often nature-related) to something more general or extraordinary or philosophical and then back to something ordinary again, but now seen in a different light because of the move to the extraordinary in line 2. But here’s a link to a site if you really want to delve into the intricacies of the form: http://www.ahapoetry.com/haiku.htm

Ok here I go.
