over

i'm so over this whole manti te'o story. i mean geez, who really cares anymore? seems like everyone and their mother (my mom loves that line) wants to talk about the manti case? someone please tell me when its over. #KIDDING

oh man, the twists, the juice! the juiceeee. ronniah is from east palmdale? (jayuhhmie)
crazy, i think i've read every piece of news that has come out regarding this story. i'm still slightly embarrassed about how interesting this is to me. unfortunately, i might have even checked tmz for updates the past few days. and unfortunately, i might have watched a 20 second video (tmz) of ronniah making his first public appearance (he might have just been walking to his car covering his face). and in those 20 seconds, i was embarrassingly interested. the whole 20 seconds i was like "ohhhhhhh my gahhdddddd, roniaihhhhhhhh....you bahhhhstard"

my random thoughts.
-the jeremy schapp interview. i spent a good 40 minutes reading the interview transcript. and that is when i completely turned. i believe te'o was completely duped. i don't think he was involved at all. he's innocent, maybe stupid, but innocent!
-i'm kind of anxiously awaiting the katie couric interview with te'o on thursday.
-why did the girl in the pictures get interviewed by the Today show? there was nothing interesting that she could have said. she pretty much just said yeah, i felt betrayed, he stole my identity, and this was completely unfair and i can never forgive him for that. boringgggg
-the winners in the story are lance armstrong, deadspin, the mtv show catfish. no one cares about his big interview with oprah. i fell in love with deadspin about 4 months ago. i check it about 8 times a day. it has some of the most interesting stories and whatnot. but this was a hugeeee story break for them. the mtv show catfish is embarrassingly interesting, imo
-the only thing i don't like about this story. every damn character has a very hard name to remember/pronounce. no jacks, no johns, no ashleys, no sarahs. it's always ronianiniah, manti te'o, cousin pookah. dad titus lennay kekua, lennay kekua's siblings u'iliana and noa.
-isn't this similar to Homeland? watching the first season of homeland, i went back and forth, is he good or is he bad? in this manti story, i keep changing my mind. at first, it was 'he dun fcuked up.' thenn it was, ohh mah god, he's innocent! i believe him! then wait a second...

the two funniest things i've read in the past week.

These Te'o jokes are all very funny but let's all try and remember that a person who never existed is dead.

2. from bill simmons mailbag column. 

Q: This mind-blowing Manti Te'o revelation deserves to be immortalized at the very least as an Urban Dictionary Entry. What about the phrase "Lennay Kekua'ed" for "simply didn't exist?"

bill simmons: Or, you go with "Lennay Kekua" for any situation when a friend/coworker/family member keeps talking about some significant other that nobody has ever met, and after awhile, you end up whispering to someone, "You getting a whiff of Lennay Kekua here or is it just me
