Wale - 'A mixtape about nothing'

You probably remember the video by Wale I posted the other day. Well, the mixtape just dropped and you can get it here. I like the way he mixes hiphop with different styles. Mark Ronson just signed him recently and I get the feeling that the album will be a smash...

Some funny videos

Is it better to be scarce or common?

For some odd reason, whenever something is scarce, it tends to become more attractive. The principle  itself does not make logical sense to me, but that's just how the world operates. Basically, scarcity makes something (whatever it is) become more attractive or valuable and many people tend to want to possess that scarce position, commodity or be associated with that rare person.

On the other hand, when something is common and readily accessible to the masses for FREE or minimal investment, it somehow loses its value. People just take it for granted and see it as normal. Yes, I know its not fair, but suck it up and get used to it. If a commodity or even a human being is readily available at a single request, smallest effort or at the most affordable price consistently (except for Walmart) it is not quite that valuable to the consumer.

So just to re-iterate, whenever a person becomes scarce, they somehow become more valuable. A scarce commodity has more value than a readily available commodity (even basic economics will tell you this). A scarce opportunity is way more attractive than an opportunity that is easily accessible to the masses.

I'll contrast 2 situations. An individual has a choice between:

Depression for sports sake

I know some people who will be prescribed a daily Prozac pill for 2 weeks straight, after the game tonight. Seriously, this behavior cracks me up, because I can not relate to it. The closest I ever got to getting a low emotion for soccer or any sports, was when Naija lost to Italy in '94 and that feeling only lasted for 30 minutes.

As most of you know, Manchester United won the premier league cup this year and clinched a 10th time title win. Now, Chelsea was close, but they slacked off and allowed the Bolton Wanderers draw with them in their final match and this caused them the title. As I write up this blog post, all the people I described in the first sentence of this post are somewhere watching the Manchester vs Chelsea European cup game, stressing themselves emotionally to see who will win. I'm sure someone is screaming at the TV hoping that the player on the field in Moscow can hear them saying "Pass the ball Ode!"

The best advice is to refuse putting any emotion on whatever team you may be rooting for, don't attach yourself to the outcome of a game. These players are making Millions, you are there draining your emotions and screaming because Michael Essien did not stop Ronaldo before he scored the first goal. Stop it! you have more important things to think about, life is already stressful as it is.

If you decide to ignore my first advice, you can choose a winning team to root for during any type of sports season. I'm telling you, this is the next best thing you can do for your emotional health. Now if you happen to chose a team like Bolton Wanderers or Houston Rockets (yes I said it), you are in trouble for the rest of the season you may end messing up your weeks when your team goes on a losing spree. Oh one more thing, all you Arsenal fans better switch teams next season, so that you don't get too depressed. It's getting too hard to be an Arsenal fan.
