Justin Combs worked hard in high school to improve his football game and earn a 3.75 GPA . He recently received a $54,000 merit-based scholarship to UCLA, where he’ll play football.

In April, Forbes named Justin Combs’ dad,  Sean “P. Diddy” Combs, the wealthiest artist in hip-hop. Some say the family should return Justin’s scholarship, arguing that Combs should pay for his son’s education and taxpayer money should go to students with greater financial need. Other say Justin Combs earned the scholarship through his grades and athletic ability, and deserves to keep it.

What do you think? Should the Combs family keep, return or donate the money? Should students with wealthy parents have access to merit-based scholarships and financial aid? via @CNN_Blogs

Hmm, this seems like it should be an open and shut answer, but if Combs’s son really did work/study hard, then he fulfilled a scholarship requirement and didn’t just receive it because he’s Combs’s son. And the fact that he doesn’t just have a magic 4.0 means he’s not given a free blind eye to all things academic and he’s not perfect. However, his father is extremely wealthy and can afford these things for his son. So, Justin could still take pride in knowing he warned the scholarship proper, but it’s true he doesn’t need it nearly as much as others without access to abnormal wealth. No go for me?

I’ve been making myself iPhone backgrounds lately. I think I should just start making some for people. I don’t know. I’m gonna probably start just making wallpapers like I used to.

Not 100% a review and definitely not just a rambling fan. Reflecting on the music, the musician and how it all fits together.

Receiving this was a brief experience, but the wait earned me two new friends and lots of new favorite YouTube videos. Completely worth it.

I’ll admit it. I started shaking a bit right before it was my turn. 

It doesn’t matter if he’s not 23 this time. Regardless of his personal stuff, to me, it’s still,

“cool to want to meet [him] at the party, and [he] just put a song out and [it’s] doing really well.” 

(Cit. John Mayer, NPR - All Things Considered Interview, May 19, 2012)

…you are indeed lucky John Mayer, but you do also “have a touch for” this “thing” called musicianship for sure.

The Brand New Show, “Figure It Out,” Premieres on Nickelodeon in June.

Cit. Wikipedia:

Figure It Out is an American children’s game show hosted by Summer Sanders that aired on Nickelodeon for four seasons from July 7, 1997 to December 12, 1999…

Kids with special skills or unique achievements competed as contestants on the show while a panel of four Nick celebrities tried to guess the predetermined phrase that described the contestant’s talent….

Shortly after the series aired its last first-run episode, Figure It Out began airing repeats on Nick GAS until the network ceased at the end of 2007 (2009 on Dish Network). The series was recorded at Nickelodeon Studios at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida.

On March 7, 2012, it was revealed that Figure It Out would be revived with a 40 episode order that will premiere on June 11, 2012. [2]

*************************

Uhhh, just want to say how ironic it is that nickelodeon is bringing back things from the 90s to attract older viewers and then says that this show is “new,” but it totally existed in the 90s too and plenty of older viewers would remember it.
