I was watching a Ustream video showing Ochocinco. Firstly, for those who don’t know him, let me tell a little something about him. He was born Chad Javon Johnson. He is a member of the Bengals team of NFL as a wide receiver. To actually reflect his uniform number 85, he changed his surname to Ochocinco (it is the spanish translation for 8 > Ocho and 5>Cinco). The Ochocinco Show

You can also see him in twitter and get updates about him. He has a great sense of humor and mostly makes fun of himself and gives funny yet sensible quotes. Well, since twitter only allows you to enter around 140 characters, Ochocinco realized that it wouldn’t be enough for him to express himself so he set up his own Ustream show. I think it is simple but truly a great idea. You see, of all the NFL players, is the one who created his own show, expressed himself and reached out to his fans.

Actually, when he has a spare time, like not having meetings or game practices, he just sit down and do “The Ocho Cinco Show”. What is so amazing about this is that it gets thousands of viewers together, and view him and chat with him at one time. Well, the topics that he always discuss is just “everything” under the sun. He even makes others laugh by making fun of himself!

Well, the last video that I’ve seen was great. Aside from the fact that there are sometimes a moment of silence as he was reading all those chat messages or answering the phone, he once again had his “quotable” quotes.

He gave a good advice to everyone by saying “Walk in our office with your head high whatever your job is”. Ochocinco just felt that he want everyone to be with him just to discuss all things. And he started talking about what his experiences are. I can remember he said “I have the opportunity to work with Larry Jones and travel to Kenya off the season when i get a chance off maybe a week or two, I travel.” He is really cool. Being such a great player and he’s got a chance to have some fun.

One important thing that he said was “TV does no justice. what you see on tv, you actually have to be there and see it for yourself. They can’t show as much.” It’s true. We might see some stuff on tv, others are half-true while some are not true.” I think this is among the reasons why he wants to be his own media to open up to everyone the things that he’s gone through.

I have quoted one funny advice yet a sensible one. He said “Do me a favor. Tomorrow is do a big Wednesday. When you go to work tomorrow, I mean, I do it myself, I do it myself to save myself out… I take a some toilet tissue in my hand, take a full roll of tissue, take it in a car with you and put on your desk. That’s a reminder ‘No matter what you’re going through..No matter who will be there for you, whether it’s your boss, it’ll always remind you that you are always there to s**t’. Try it, try it…It’s a relaxing…those relaxing bowls and they have the once you squeeze together…I don’t know what you call it…Same thing with toilet tissue…You might have to listen to me more than once but you’re gonna get the point”

That’s true. What he said is true. His tip is simply relaxing and will remind us that we are all equal.

One part of the show was that he read messages and he gave his comments. He read a message about Chris Brown beings sentenced for 5 years probation. He just can’t believe it and things it might be difficult for both Chris and Rihannah. He quoted “They might be together right now!”

About the news regarding Michael Jackson, he was also surprised to hear that it is now considered a “Murder case”. He said “Where’d ya get all these information? Am I livin inside the rock?”. Well, I think he said this because he’s not updated with all the news. When chatters said that such news was from CNN, he started acting as a CNN reporter and putting on his “CNN jacket”.

This guy has a great sense of humor. Can you imagine? In one of his videos, he makes fun of himself. In the video, he turned off the all the lights in his house. He took of his shirt and was just laughing. He said he is the “Ustream Ghost”. Well, it’s not that he is a racist but he is just making fun of himself. Just imagine, all that I can see was his pearly white teeth. He was even covering it at first and telling everyone that only his pearly white teeth will be shown. He said as he laughed “Have a floating teeth…this is so funny. You can’t even see my eyes but can see my mouth. Esteban the Ghost!” He is proud to make the first Ustream-in-the-dark with his teeth that can only be seen. He is proud to say as he finished the video “I got a beautiful smile”. Well, I agree with that. Such a nice smile and pearly white teeth.

Despite his sense of humor, he is so serious when it comes to his games. When it the football field, he always makes that “awesome” kick. In one of his games, (I’ve seen it in youtube) He kicked an extra point and the sports commentator was just so amazed who said, “High snap and drills it. He was kicking in a one day practice and was kicking unbelievably”

Ochocinco is thinking once again to change his name to Esteban Ochocinco. I think, whatever his name is, he will always be the same person–makes others laugh and makes the team win.
