2008

With the new year approaching,hopefully some things will get left behind.

Here's a few

1.Shutter shades (as well as wearing sunglasses inside)

2.Kaffiyeh scarves (Since no one seems to understand that it symbolizes solidarity..in Palestine)

3.Nike 6.0's.

4.Terms like "Pr0lli (insert verb or adjective here)" as headlines and display names

5.Madeup names on Facebook, (Eg: Harold I'mnotcleverfordoingthis Jones)

10.Lil Wayne (....)

11.Fake tiffany sb's (269,get it together.)

12.Songs about whisking women away from their ordinary jobs to spend money on them,and take them on vacations (Only because this contradicts 99% of songs rappers make about having 50 some women.Not everyone would enjoy themselves on THAT vacation)

13.Ralph Lauren polo caps (This goes without saying)

14.McCain campaign signs (Not that it matters anymore)

15.Sunflower seeds beneath my feet on el autobus (we sure as hell ride septa)

16.The "My dick" song (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=413639167)

20.Spam (On yo myspaCe,!n y0 mailbox, up in ya facebookz,etc)

21.College applications.

22.Wall Street needing its ass saved (GET IT TOGETHER)

23.Customers intterupting anything that I happen to be doing (Personal issue.)

24.Nike acg's.

Holiday Shopping

I am not a scrooge,and I never will be.With that being said,I can also say that I hate holiday shopping and not be crucified.There's no conceivable way to shop for everyone downtown a few days before Christmas,it just doesn't happen:Everything's guaranteed to be more expensive,it's cold as shit,involves a lot of walking,blah blah blah.Which makes the mall the only option. I hate the mall more than I hate holiday shopping. My experiences in King Of Prussia this evening can only make me hate the mall more than I already did.You ready?

I only like this store for one reason(take a guess)so when brother suggested that I get my pollyana's gift from here I was having my second guesses.We step into the store and immediately I'm at a loss for where to start.You've got one side with 5 for 25 panties,and neon hoodies/sweats,etc.Than you've got the grown and sexy side.
Now on both sides there are little girls running around.Like,little,little girls maybe 12 years old. So as soon as we're about to turn and leave,we're approached by a saleswoman,"Can I help you?". Thank you,lord. So with her opinion on what "Normal girls" like,I managed to spend around $30 on 5 "beauty products" and maintain my composure. Thank you lady.

I don't know what it is about shiny floors and fluorescent lights that makes "party boys" want to come out and play. I mean play literally by the way, since they weren't shopping by any means. Party boys tend to all look the same,with the exception of a different colored polo cap and maybe a different myspace pose every once in a blue moon. You can count on them to be anywhere that a pretty girl is,rain or shine. In twenties at the bus stop (passing out flyers),in twenties at the corner store (passing out flyers),in twenties in the basement (copying and pasting from myspace..to make flyers),and in 50's at the mall (passing out flyers,with no shopping bags).I'm sorry if this comes off as hatin but..Gas is still relatively high for someone (or a group of people) to drive 45 minutes to King Of Prussia with the sole intention of wasting paper. Anyway,I was in American Eagle Outfitters (buying a gift for my sister) and the store was packed. It took ten minutes to get to the front of the line.So,since there were girls in there..The party boys were there too, dancing. Yes,dancing. Not a two step either,full "d-macs","wutangs","spongebobs",and whatever else they do. From what I could tell it was a battle, between "team Icanbehyperthanyoucan" and "team noyoucantimthehypest" (Ok,I made that up.But the name's aren't that much less ridiculous).Me and about 20 other customers were subjected to this for a full five minutes or so before mall security came.


Mall security is a joke,they wear helmets while riding segways.There's no need to elaborate on that.


In conclusion,I hope everyone is happy (or appreciative) of what I bought them on Christmas Morning.I left the mall with an appreciation for nothing besides Footlocker,Vans,Finishline,American Apparel,Apple, and Victoria's Secret.

Predictable.

Official Sooner Or later



The official video for Sooner or Later,niiice.

This has been and remains one of my favorite songs on the album. Considering our country's economic state at the moment, this is perfect. I mean, this isn't going to make me, broken hearted, the ceo's, the betrayed, or the loser's feel better but sometimes it's just nice to know that someone has felt the same pain that I'm feeling. Shit,it's cold, it's rainy (in Philadelphia), my heart's been torn out of my throat (this is more of a personal (bordering irrational) issue), the darkest season of the year is approaching, and the recession is taking tolls on paychecks everywhere. Besides the fact that I am alive (Thank you Dear Lord), I really am not happy about much,everything has come crashing the hell down.That's where this song comes in, to remind me to get up off of my ass and do something.

Life can hurt like a mahhfuckah, but holding your heart will not help you breathe.

The most epic conversation of all time

Whilst in the bathroom this morning I overheard the conversation between two Janitors.

Here's the important part

"Janitor 1:The nurses always tellin' people what to do and shit,

Janitor 2:Don't they know that nursing is a dummy job?"

So I forget the exact wording but,hopefully you get the gist of it. The school janitors(who were emptying the trashcans of a girls bathroom at a Public School in Philadelphia) believe that their job requires more intelligence than the school nurses job.

......

Oh,right!I forgot about the master degree required for a career in Janitorial services.

Asher Roth (aka your moms favorite rapper)

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Not what you picture when you think "great rapper",right?Looks can be deceiving. Yes,he has that dirty white boy thing going on but his flow is cleeean (bad pun-sorry).Jay-Z recognized that,and signed him..all while this kid had on a dirty t-shirt. Asher is straight out of West Chester,PA but he manages to rap about things other than smoking and drinking (the #1 past-time in small towns).Just to make things clear,he does talk about smoking and drinking on the mixtape,though..Asher Roth is a simple guy,doesn't speak on anything he doesn't know (No clothes,no shoes,nothing material minus alcohol and weed).

Universal mind control

"You could call me daddy,I'ma put you to bed"

Some of you might have gotten the preview of this album at the N.E.R.D/Common concert,but damn. I've yet to buy this but I listened to the whole thing and this is good shit. The beats are nuts on this album,that must be said.And rarely do I give bad reviews of my favorite artists,but "Finding forever" was ass in my opinion. This is a nice follow-up. The first few tracks were mad sexual, which is no problem...Unless of course, you're on that "hip hop is not sex" tip. (Sex is (apart of) life,so you'll have to get over it). Past the fifth track I fell into something deeper, the classic common which is probably what most fans wanted anyway. If you're a common fan already,this CD will not change that. But if you weren't a fan before,you will be after taking an honest listen.

If you're not going to buy the entire thing, at least download: What a world, Sex 4 suga,Punch drunk love, Make my day, and announcement. Those are my favorites,so far.

Fame is a drug

All day I've been singing nothing but Michael Jackson,for no reason other than the fact that he has made great music in the past.And it really makes me sick that I can't go a week without hearing a Michael Jackson joke because I honestly don't believe that he did SHIT.This is proof that the media can make and break an artist,some can take the attention and others can't.
I'll flash my poetic license when I say,"honest to god, fame is a drug.".You've got Hollywood selling it's soul for a piece of it. Fame is laced with money, which is what gets celebrities "addicted.".Of course,if I had a job that paid money like "just being famous" does,I would argue that it's "just a living" as well.But we all know that that statement is bullshit. Why? A living is just the necessities, not all of the glamour and glitz that comes with fame.When 90% (not an accurate statistic but you get the idea) of artists "mature",they're actually dumbing themselves down or selling themselves out in order to sell albums,or singles. No one's going to take me seriously when I say this but,that's a lot like somebody sucking dick to feed their habit.Feel me?

808's and heartbreak

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

This is a year of amazing CD's.And just as I'd hoped,this is nothing less than phenomenal.I'm really not a fan of the "voice" but the lyrics,instrumentals, and overall feel overpower the entire t-pain shit (Nothing against t-pain). The lyrics on close to every song had me thinking for hours,this goes deep and I love it.If I could get away with it,I would sincerely quote close to every line in serious conversations.Like I said, the instrumentals are also noteworthy,they're nothing that I've heard this year thus far.Heartless,Coldest winter,and Love Lockdown could not have prepared me (let alone anyone) for this.

With mouth,eyes,and ears wide open I insist that you buy this,or put it on your christmas list.

(Download Everybody knows,Quickly, and I love,you love)

and

this
Image and video hosting by TinyPic

(Download The way she dances,Backseat love,Maybe,and Chariot of fire)


The first CD is fairly new and excellent. I don't want to describe it because I honestly don't have enough words to.I'll try anyway,there's something for everyone (The heartbroken,the loners,the lovers,and the regular ass people).Kanye is on it (gasp!) as well as Brandy,Estelle, and Andree 3000. All that I can say is that this is an amazing cd.

The Second cd is a classic. I can't really expand much on "classic" because that says it all. A lot of people don't care much for this CD since it is considered one of N.E.R.D's "transitional albums", and some couldn't figure out what sound they were trying to produce. In any case, this is my one of my favorites.

Al-Qaeda never ceases to amaze me with their hypocrisy. In February they supported Barack Obama,now it's November and they are calling him a house negro.What I can't figure out is how they can accuse Obama of betraying his "muslim brethren" when they arrange for their "muslim brethren",women, and children to be killed everyday via suicide bombing. The fact that they call Obama's promise to move troops to Iraq a "doomed failure" is laughable..Because this is coming from a group that is running all over their OWN damn country in order to avoid capture.If Al-Qaeda were the force that they claim to be, they would have stability and power in their regions. With that being said, their accusation of Obama being the enemy of "honorable negros" is irrelevant.

"Honorable negros" (I didn't know we still called ourselves negros..) wouldn't approve of the murder of thousands of innocent people annually either.

Thoughts after witnessing some intense racism

Race, what is race?
how does this make us different?
is it the color of my skin?
the sound of my voice?
the food and drinks i consume?
is it my heart and soul passed down from years and years ago?
am i who i think i am?
am i who i think i am?
am i who i think i am?
or am i just an average man?
doing average things
living an average life
or is it an above average, akunamatata kinda lifestyle
is it right to scream "im black fuck that"
and throw my middle finger to the sky
you say fuck you to god and he surely will fuck you up
thou shall not steal thou shall not judge
is race in our heart or is it in our blood
these veins dont contain chicken grease
its the same as the man thats invading the middle east
what makes us so different
this border must be burnt but one side wants it and the other corrupts it
take it as you will
take it how you please
love your brother and yourself
you shall never be in need

Grown ass men come on to Fourteen year olds...Than get mad when they get played,"Oh.Well you ugly anyway."
-So why did you wanna talk to her in the first place?

Waitresses don't want to actually wait on you,,"Yeah,I could tell you the sodas we have...But that would take awhile."
-Guess you can't help me after all.

Young men can't give up their seats for older women,"..."
-Come the fuck on.

The security guards make me take my hat off,"The hat Ms.Tindal"
-This is actually more of a personal issue.

People (and I will not specify which gender) dress in a sexually suggestive way,and get mad when grown ass men (see pet peeve #1) make suggestions.

OK so there's not a guaranteed bitch slap in every episode but..Ari Gold is the fuckin bad ass of all bad asses ever(!).I can't see this show ever ending,if Ari's not (physically or mentally) abusing someone,than Vince,Eric,and Drama are on a hunt for more work.If you've watched since the beginning than you know that there's really no filter on this show;naked bodies for the pre pubescent,obscenities for the old,and a storyline for the rest of us.I honestly couldn't ask for more in a show,9:00-9:30 (Sunday evenings) are devoted to Entourage.
