The Weakend

On friday I hung out with my favorite person we went out to eat at the Red Lawbstas, gurl i aint neva beens there befo. Twas pretty tasty though. After that we had a destination in newport news but the designation was closed, bummer. So one of our frendz Queen Utz was in Hampton at Saddle Ridge where it was country line dancing night!*crickets* It was interesting to see people dance in formation SHEEP!Anyways it was an adventure it was great seeing Queen Utz and next time she's in town we're taking our mothers, yes my mom loves country music. So it was a a nice night and now im back to work, back to the same routine, boooooo.

Umm you need to play this!

So I was cruising on the internets and I came across this blog via Dallas Penn by the name of Unemployed and Blogging and this person posted a link to quite possibly the greatest game of all time!. Ok maybe not but it is pretty bad ass and addicting so check it out

The above picture is the wrong "super" but you get the point

Deoxyribonucleic Jammie

This is Saul Williams, if you dont know who that is google it betches I dont even need to get into it, ok maybe I will a little bit. Mr Williams is a poet, actor, musician, activist, educator, a nice dish of deep chocolate, you get the point. His third album was solely produced by Trent Reznor which makes it double the sexay. Anyways The Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust is a fantastic album that was up for download when it first dropped last year, I think they have that have on CD now. So hear is a track from that album "DNA"

The Weakend

There is no relavancy between this picture and the blog at hand, I just wanted to use it >_<

So how was your national eat-drink-poop-sleep day? Mine was nice, I got off of work picked up my g-ma, went home, ate, watched "This Christmas" with the fam, then went to sleep, damn near perfect day. What would have made it perfect? If I didnt have to wake up at 3 in the morning and come to work thats what. So today is friday and its absolutely gorgeous outside. I plan on going on a "hot date" with one of my favorite people in the world tonight. Thing is whether its an actual date or just going out to eat with one of your favorite specimens, there is a difference as you prolly know. I remember once a few years ago I met with a friend to grab something to eat and what turned to just eating some grub kind of felt like a date, well to me at least, I mean I am a girl and we do read into things a little much sometimes. So after that it was 2 years of awkwardness and nothing happened. Nothing. Okay moving on. Either way it should be fun and afterwards I want to go Va beach to what I like to call "the fun fun shop" read into that what you will ladies. So I only have one day off this week which im not too happy about but hey in the words of Rev. Run
Whaadayagonnado!!.
So yeah that's what I plan to do tonight. What ever you guys do be safe, errybody have a fun and sexay weekend.

Church!

For many years the debate of Jesus' ethnicity has been challenged. If you look towards history no matter what you exactly believe the ethnicity is, I think we can all respectively agree that at least he did not have blonde eyes and blue hair (edit: holy crap that is totally wrong but we'll go with it). I personally think Jesus is puerto rican. The maker of "Boondocks" does not seem to agree with me.

Oh Yeah..Happy thanksgiving

You know your whole life around this time of the year on the radio you hear 300 inversions of the same xmas/holiday songs. For me every year my grandmother breaks out her Mariah Carey christmas album she loves that shat, I think she prolly has Tony Benet to. A number of years ago Death Row records released a christmas album with the memorable Nate Dogg laced track "Santa Clause is coming straight to the Ghetto" and another great heatwarming xmas tune is the song with Salt and Peppa, Keith Murray ONYX(!) and others where stickyfingers proclaims about his improverished upbringing "If I wasnt a boy, I'd have nothing to play with" or something like that. Now we have another hood holiday classic that we will nestle in our hearts for generations of welfare babies to come. This is Jim Jones a man that I hate to love with just tidbit of what's to come of his contribution to the "most wonderful time of the year"

The Jheri Curl in detail

Photo Source
No Ladies you are not dreaming, that IS Stoney Jackson of 227 fame, aint he sexay! When I am curious about things I like to research them in vivid detail (read: go to wikipedia). Because I want to know the orgins, who exactly is responsible the rise and ultimately the decline of these passages of time. The Jheri Curl came to power in the late 70's and maintained its reign through the 80's. Its name came from its creator whose name was you guessed it! Jheri. Jheri Redding was actually a famed hair stylist who came up with his own concoctions in his kitchen and founded many hair product companies including Nexxus (hmm betcha didnt know that ha!)The Jheri Curl was popular among the african-american and latino communities like so


Want to know what else I found out at the wonderful world of wikipedia!? That there was actually a gang called "The Jheri Curls" yeah no shat. It was actually a dominican gang of brothers who made mad dolo on the cocaina and was immensely feared by their Washington Heights community (Manhattan, NY), Yes even with a name like "The Jheri Curls" wow. And here are their fotografias fuego!

I encourage you all to go out and learn as much as possible about the marvels of the Jheri Curl I will bid you ado with the classic Jheri Curl moment.

Do you have any douche inside you? Would you like some

This will go into the "I hate that I love you" file. Kanye West is another man that I hate to love. I have absolute respect for this man music and musicianship. You can NOT deny this man's talent, but I can't stand his personality it erks. I totally get about believing in yourself cause aint the end of the day that all you have, yourself. But I think we can all agree that he takes it quite off the deep end sometimes. So searching across the internets I came across this little ditty. Maybe you will find this a nice read.

Makin love Jammie

Under the INfluence of Giants "Mama's Room" this song reminds me of my heterosexual lifemate LEY, so I'm going to dedicate this to her.

You so anti-dontnothingmatta

Original photo from bbcicecream.com/blog through crappy microsoft painting skills I made a circle and line of my brother and me behinf the girl in the white shirt.
Yes the N.E.R.D. concert on thursday was carazeeee, so here is the run down in detail. I worked early thursday morn 1a-10a, got off of work then took my brother to school around 11:30 picked up something to eat (my only meal of the day,not a good idea, more on that later)So I tried to get some rest between 12 and 3:30 but that didnt happen at all. Around 4 went to go get my brother from school and we headed off to norfolk. Luckily we didnt run into traffic, I was actually amazed. Got to ODU at around 5ish got my will call tickets and we proceed to stand in line for 2 hours, we were pretty much in the front prolly 10-12 people in front of us. It could of been worse I guess, it was 51 degrees cold but not soo cold? So yeah in the meantime in between time we striked up convos with some of the people in the line then of course as time marched on people's friends come along and get in the line in front of us, that includes some of my brother's friends from school. I love how people purposely go and try to find a famiiar face so they can strike up a bs conversation with them and ease themselves into the line. So finally the doors open up and my brother and I race inside to get on the floor. We were right in front I mean there was just a group of people in front of us so we were good...for a while. The same thing that happens outside with the line happens inside, people see their friends and they ease themselves to the front. Yeah I was miffed but I knew once N.E.R.D. came on they would were going to get pushed out of they way (and they did) So first a local ska/reggae band JackMove came on first, they were aiight thing is I like ska music and what not but after a while every song start to sound alike. After them R&B singer Jazmine Sullivan came on, I was not there to see her perform but I homegirl could sing mudflaps off, she converted me for sure. Then after what seemed like forever N.E.R.D. came on the and the crowd EXPLODED. There was so much VA 757 love in that place it was great. It was pretty exhausting though, if you've been to rock shows you know how crowded and hot it gets. You know the part when the crowd starts to sway and you feel like you are going to fall over, yeah not cool. Plus crowd surfing at a show were people in the audience are not familiar with crowd surfing could get ugly so I got kicked in the head a few times, but I'm used to that, it still sucks though. Overall the show was fantastic they played stuff from all 3 of their albums great energy throughout the show, and PHARRELL TOUCHED MY HAND EEEEK. So yeah awesome show >_< The show ended at 11 and I decided to head on over to 80's night at the Wave. In hindsight maybe that was not such a good idea. After my adrenaline went down after the show I started not to feel too hot. I was already tired from not getting any type of sleep and I only ate once that day and here I am going to drink and dance. I only had one drink but having any type of drink on an empty stomach and being tired on top of that, yeah not cool. But I toughed it out, I felt bad cause I wanted to be more fun, instead I was kind of a fun killer but I tried I danced, half sleep but I danced! So by 2a I drove back 'across the water' that was a rough ride I was prying my eyes open, walked in my house, walked in my room, immediately stripped then passed the hell out. It was a great night though PHARRELL TOUCHED MY HAND EEEEK! >_<

You've officially been blizzared and screwed

Here is a clip from this weekend's SNL with T-Pain, Luda and the illest cat out there Blizzy B!

When's the last time you heard this Jammie, Jammie

the Clipse's "When's the last time" from Lord Willin. That was a dope album. Funny story I had that album when it came out then during my freshman year of college it dissappeared, I am quite sure someone stole, I know who did it too, but that is water under the bridge now, but its still fouled up, I got you son.

Cause 2nite is the niiiite, when 2 become 1

I NEED SOME LOVE LIKE I NEVER NEEDED LOVE BEFOOOORE! Ok ill stop. Yeah I know me and pharell will never get married and have kids just from having eye contact when I go to the show tonight BUT CAN A GIRL DREAM!! Fine then. So anywho I am vuurry excited about the N.E.R.D. show tonight in Nawfuk and yeah im just totally stocked. I haven't seem them in 7 yrs so this is loooong overdue. Did I ever tell you the story of how I met Pharrell when I was standing in line at the norva show in 2001? (voices answer back, yes Tylia you've told it a million times we know) Well just thought i'd share. I wish I can tell you that im going to take all these pictures but I cant, cause I dont have a cool digital camera like other kids. ITS A GAHT DAMN RECESSION GOING ON! So anyways yeah, sweet.

....And dont it feel good!? HEY!

So as I make my daily blog rounds I continue to come across grains of inspiration, this time from Dlisted. I already forgot what the post was about but he put a link to a video of Alison from intervention who hufs some sort of something and saying how it feels like she's "walking on sunshine". Well you know how on youtube there are related videos and i clicked on this right here, its really sad but I have a black heart so its kind of funny.

Pimp. This. Ride

I saw this picture over at Crunk and Disorderly aka my daily hit of crack cause i need it and this pic is...too much

Get outta my head Jammie

Labies and Gents Queens of the Stone Age "In My Head"

QOTSA is smooth like cool like chill, Josh Homme seems like a cool cat even though frien and fellow radio comrade Zach said he was a doucebag when he interviewed him once while working at 96X, yeah I can see that. Anyways I like them and I think they wrote this song to intentionally get it stuck in your head. Congrats fellas you accomplished your damn goal and I mean that with love >_<.

Composers Man

For those of you that don't know I majored in music when I went to college. I eventually in my life want to make music. I don't know if I want to actually compose music even though I probably can, I just want to make music. In music history you always about Beethoven, Brahms, Mozart yada yada yada. I mean of course those guys are cool cause they laid the groundwork for everyone that came after them but I always liked the point in the history class where we got to like the modern 20th century stuff. Like when I heard Charles Ives' "General William Booth Enters Into Heaven" with text from the Vachel Lindsay poem of the same title, I almost cried. Everyone else thought it was the strangest song but for some reason it really got to me. It was so offbeat it was brilliant. So I like stuff like that. I am also a HUGE fan of Aaron Copland. He is not off his rocker like Ives was but he makes really great american orchestral music. My favorite is Billy the Kid where my favorite movement is the mexican dance and finale where about 45 seconds into the movement after this like festive lively opening it calms down and the strings come in ahhhh heaven. So yeah I also recently got into John Cage who is most famous for his piece "4'33" which is quite literally 4mins and 33sec of 'silence' not one note is played by the performer, they just sit there. The whole point of it is that there really isnt silence there is always some type of noise around you, be it your heart beating, the rhythmic pattern of someone beside you breathing etc.David Axelrod is another one who made like 'funk jazz' the song "Holy Thursday" was recently featured in Grand Theft Auto and also sampled on lil wayne's current cd. The song "the edge" also by Axelrod was sampled by Dr. Dre in the song "the next episode", yeah man hot sh!t.One day I would hope to make music of my own that is some how innovative if not inovative something that would move someone the way that some of these peoples music has moved me. So I will leave you with a Axelrod's "Holy Thursday" oddly enough with scenes from Super Fly that some genous on youtube spliced together, you know what it goes together so just enjoy it.

Hybrid Jammie

This is the Misfits with "Hybrid Moments". I am not much of a punk aficionado per say but I do appreciate the music and the attitude behind it, I mean punk not the Blink 182, Greenday stuff I'm talking about punk son. Anyways enjoy the video.

Questlove the new Max Weinberg?

Photo Source:http://boogiespotblog.quickdfw.com/archives/2008/06/17/questlove.jpg
For those of you who don't know who Max Weinberg be he is the drummer on the Conan O'Brian show and also the drummer for the boss Bruce Springsteen and he was born in the USA...i think. So anyways The Roots will be the house band for Jimmy Fallon's new late night tv show when he takes Conan O'Brien spot and Conan takes Jay Leno's spot next year. So this mean that The Roots will no longer be doing extensive tours if no tours at all. That is really hard to imagine cause Roots have been on one long tour since like pshh '96? ?uestlove the Roots' drummer says
"I don't know if I want to be 40, on the road and single no more," he said. "And with the kids my group has now getting older ... it's harder for the guys to leave more than it was when the kids were two and three. And I can't even start to go on that path till a woman takes me seriously. And ain't no one taking a man serious who is in his own home for only three months out the year. I been in my crib since 2006 and I still ain't unpacked everything yet."
I think this is a really good look for the Roots, there is definitely no band on late night tv like them, and I am looking forward to see what Jimmy would do in Conan's spot. Those are quite literally some large shoes to fill for Jimmy 1) cause Conan is like 6+ feet tall 2) Cause Conan is awesome. I am however a little scared for Conan. I don't know if his type of humor will go over too well in the new time slot, even though its an hour earlier it's a completely different audience.

Chi from Deftones health update

I just seen this in a myspace bulletin:
Hello Friends,

My apologies for the delay in updates. Chi's condition remains the same - serious, but stable. He still lies in a coma, however his vitals (heart, lungs, and blood pressure) all exhibit very stable functions and doctors have begun removing much of the excess monitoring equipment. Chi remains strong in his fight to recover.


Man I really hope he pulls through, he's been in a coma for weeks now, lets all pray for him

Don't Judge, indulge

So what if this family is really really close. I mean shouldnt all families love each other as much as this family does?

Yeahhhhhhh

So my boy Jason and I at work always talk about when listening to Lil Wayne songs or just listen to him in general we just get get contact drunk and or high. Do you feel that way I mean seriously. When I hear Mrs Officer on the radio afterwards I wanna take a nap. Anyways my brother and I found a video a while ago worldstarhiphop.com with a Lil Wayne interview and...just watch it.

Meh

The word 'Meh' is actually in the dictionary now, first a black president now this somebody's dropping a log somewhere. It says that the expression was first popularized in 2001 from an episode of The Simpsons, I say o k a y. Anyways I just think its pretty awesome that 'meh' made it into the dictionary, someone tell spell check this cause as I type its still coming up red. To look at the complete story go here--->

Drools all over self

Then I had to stop cause I got mad cause I was 'sposed to go see them in Charlottesville earlier this month but didnt cause ITS A GAHT DAMN RECESSION GOING ON! But anyways I decided to post a video of the song "Echoplex" from The Slip their last musical effort with new material and as you can see the drumbeat in the beginning is made from a touchscreen, sweet.

The Weakend

So on Saturday I made way up to Fredericksburg, VA to the University of Mary Washington to join my Mu Phi Epsilon brothers and sisters in celebrating Founders Day. Technically it is November 13 but since it fell on weekday we celebrated it yesterday. It was a wonderful event, it was very nice meeting new Mu Phi's and downtown Freddy's burg is beautiful specially this time of year. It was Radford University's chapter (my alumni) Alpha Zeta along with UMW's chapter Phi Psi and the DC alumni chapter it was really cool. It's always good to see all my Mu Phi peeps, you never really know how much you love and miss people until you go away so Yay Mu Phi! I didnt get much if any sleep really I drove back from F-burg at 9:30p got home around 11p didnt fall asleep till 1a and got up at 4a to be to work by 5a to work till 1p to wake up tonight @10:30p to be back at work at 1a-10a, did you get all that!? Sometimes things have to be sacrificed like my precious sleep to live yo life(ayyyyyy!)Anyways it was a lovely time when people upload pictures I will post them here, I cant till my Mu Phi collegiate sweater is ready it's going to be so hot, up next N.E.R.D on thusday, going to check my account right now to figure out my finances.
Update #1: Just brought the NERD tickets 2 for $61 damn my pockets are not happy, but I will be come thursday night.

Last night on Chocolate News

These are my two favorite skits from last night's show

So sawree

After 14 seasons MadTV is finally being cancelled. Don't get me wrong if you have been reading this blog obviously I am a huge fan of MadTV, but the last 2 or 3 seasons have been lack luster so its time for them to go out to pasture. The show's co-creator David Salzman said that they are going to keep the show going this time on a cable channel. If they keep it going especially on cable I hope it becomes funny again. Check out the whole story at this link--> http://www.thrfeed.com/2008/11/fox-cancels-mad.html
I leave you with another one of my favorite sketches "This is the Land that I Love"

Break Me Off A Piecea dat!

They are my new tasty treat addiction. Every few months I become inhabited with a treat that I must have daily. I buy snacks every night before I go into work to get me through the night, besides if I didnt buy anything to munch on ill be SOL cause I work overnight so obviously the shops downstairs where I work are not open. A few months ago it was Hershey chocolate bars, then it switched to Starburst and now it's Kit-Kat bars. I've always loved Kit-Kat Bars but now I crave them, they are delicious. They were created by some dude named Rowntree not to be confused with Richard Roundtree, the dude who played Shaft for he I guess to women in the 70's would be a kit-kat bar, yes that was random. Anyways it was created in 1935 and its essentially vanilla wafers covered in chocolate. I call lameness covered with awesomeness that makes it awesome. I dedicated a whole post to Kit-Kat bars, wow I'm a fattie!

Are we beginning to see a pattern here?

Another one of my fav MadTV skits, I think i'm starting to see a pattern with these MadTV clips ive been posting...

We Pop Arbor Mist

Yeah I know what your thinking, but to hell with you cause Arbor Mist is classy! It's affordable, it's accessible with its convenient twist off cap and IT'S CLASSY! I'm not only a client I'm an Arbor Mist representative as seen here

Oh and here as well...

Anyway the point of this post is to talk about a man. Another one of those men that I really can't stand but love him all at the same time. Much like T-Pain but I find Jim Jones more tolerable. Even though he has the same moniker as someone who made people in Africa drink the flavor-aid(google it). He is not really a rapper I guess he is a business man, I mean he gets his hustle on, the dude has "swagger", you can't knock him, believe me i've tried. I admit I am a fan of Dipset (RIP) and thus I will go to time out, I am sorry. So anyways erry once in a while he will come out with something that I cant deny, and this is one of them.This is "Pop Champagne"which is a remix of a remix of a rip off?

Way to go Mr Dumass

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. – Police said it wasn't the most well-thoughtout escape. They say a man handed over his license and registration at a sobriety checkpoint during the weekend, then peeled out and sped away, almost hitting an officer.

Police eventually pulled over the 32-year-old man and reported finding marijuana in his vehicle.

He was charged with driving under the influence of drugs, possession of drugs, disobeying a police officer and reckless conduct.

Mental Developments

So my mind has been racing lately with thoughts about life in general. About what I want to do with it. There are so many things I want to do, I kind of just dont know how to go about it I guess. I have actually been thinking about going back to school to get my masters in music performance, but I really want to do something in music technology. I just want to make music and I am getting impatient and I dont know. Right now it would be impossible for me to go get a masters right now with working 40+ hours week plus the weird hours I work. ::sighs:: I just to get that off my chest, back to your regularly scheduled lives already in progress.

The "Cool" List

So I was over at NME magazine's website aka the hipster's music bible and they have their Top 50 Cool list for 2008. 95% of the people they mentioned I didnt even know who they were, I guess im not a hipster DAMMIT! Anyways Santogold was #17 and M.I.A. was #8 and that's pretty much who I only cared about. Lil Wayne was #13 because he wants to be a hipster and Alice Glass from Crystal Castles was #1. Dont know who she is? thats okay cause I barely know who she is too. I only heard of Crystal Castles cause they had a song on the NIne Inch Nails "Lights in the sky" EP of people whom they were touring with, the song is pretty cool though. You can check out the full list here http://www.nme.com/blog/index.php?blog=10&title=nme_cool_list_2010&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1

The Weakend

This past weekend I went to my alma mater Radford to see Nichole's senior recital which was EXCELLENT by the way. Got see all my Mu Phi people's as well as a lot of my old school mates, it felt really good/weird to be there. It was like I was back in Radford but I didnt have to go to class or anything, I kind of felt like a schlep. I also went back to visit my old boss Jon at WVRU it was really great seeing him and I also saw my old radio co-horts as well. They were giving me updates about the radio club that we started again last year and things are going extremely well for them, that makes me happy. They already have the date and venue booked for the Urban Metal Music Festival which was something that I helped started a few years ago, but enough about me hehe. Anyways it was a really nice visit and I need to go back more often. Oh and I also ran into my old friend Wes who used to be in this band Dragonsaur and I use to go their shows a lot, it was really great seeing him.

Giraffes!

BK Jammie

Brooklyn better known as Crooklyn this is the Crooklyn Dodgers which consists of some of Brooklyn's finest Special Ed, Master Ace and Buckshot. This was from the Spike Lee film "Crooklyn" which even for a Spike Lee movie was weird I still really dont know what the movie was about. Anyways this was the jam, this was the golden age of hip-hop well for me at least. A lot of the jams were very jazz inspired. The stuff tribe was doing, Guru from Gangstarr went and did the Jazzmatazz stuff, yeah music was so good then ::sigh:: anyways enjoy the video.

Oh I just remembered this story. For a time when my family was living in new york we lived in brooklyn for about a year. We lived in what I believe was the John F Kennedy houses, which upon research is actually in the Williamsburg section of BK pre-gentrification aka pre-hipster, and my brother and I were on the elevator and we saw Buckshot and we were all like "Hey is that buckshot" so yeah that was pretty epic for me, I was like 8 so anyways this post is done.

Dead Mamories

Yes I said mamories, I dont know why, its too early in the morning for this shiz. So here is Slipknot's new video for their current single "Dead Memories" from the All Hope is Gone album. Great album by the way despite what some people have told me (shabazz!)Anyways yeah so I saw Slipknot this summer at the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem, festival, bonanza thingy the VA beach amp. There were some great bands there Machinehead, Dragonforce others and the names just escaped me, then they had to ruin it by having Disturbed up there. They made up for it with the headlining act being Slipknot. This was before the album came out so thankfully they played all the old stuff they even played "Prosthetics" from their first album and me and my friend Shelaine went ape sh!t, yeah great show, so anyways here's the video.I don't really know what the video is about but I like how each band member has like their own room and its not just a you know performance video or whatever, and even with a mask Corey Taylor is still hot, how is that? Anyways enjoy.

So I have the next couple of days off and Im heading back to my alma mater Radford University. I'm going to raddy beucause my Mu Phi Epsilon fraternity sister and of course friend Nichole is having her senior recital tonight. She is a vocal major with a fantastic and rich alto voice, she is a hard worker and I know she's going to kill tonight. I havent been back to radford since I graduated so I look forward to seeing errybody. Only sucky thing is the weather, here in virginy its windy and raining and who wants to drive 4 hours in weather like that!? Whatevs, so wish me luck on my road trip you guys have a great sexy fun and safe weekend, ill catch you on the sun or the mon, peace.

...and another one...

Two jammies back to back yeah that's how I roll. This is Depeche Mode's "Precious" when I first heard this song I thought it was an older song like something that came out in late 80's early 90's. The song was actually on their 2005 album Playing the Angel. I guess it goes to show you timeless DM is, werd son.

Gloomy Jammie

Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart" this is the jammie when its like windy and rainy like it is today, well at least for me anyway. Sometimes I wish I was my age now when music like this came out then. Then again I may have taken the music for granted ::shrugs::

Oh no!

Chi from one of my fav bands Deftones was injured in a car crash. My prayers and thoughts are with him, I hope he recovers well.

Chi Cheng, bass player with US rock band the Deftones, has been seriously injured in a car accident.

Lead singer Chino Moreno wrote on the band's website that Cheng, 38, was in a "serious but stable" condition following the crash in California.

"I'm praying that his strength will get him through this," said the musician, who added the band were at his bedside.

The Deftones were formed 20 years ago and won a Grammy Award in 2000 for the song Elite from their White Pony album.

The band released their debut album, Adrenaline, on Madonna's Maverick Records label in 1995.

Well unfortunately California as a whole are douche bags and has said yes to Proposition "H8te" and outlawing same-sex marriages. That is so unfortunate, the government should not be able to determine who should and should not get married. What happened to the separation of church and state!? As much as heterosexuals abuse the idea of marriage with the divorce rates being so high you would think they would people in the gay community a chance to get married. If the government want to control marriage they should control the amount of times heterosexual couples get married, or how long heterosexual couples should stay married or else they would be punished.::sighs:: I feel sorry for my lezzies and my gays, hopefully one day they would receive the full rights of marriagedom all across the nation. I mean we have a black president it seems right now anything is pretty much possible. If im not mistaken I think Massachusetts still allows marriage between same-sex couples.

Noooo Son!

Yum.

I just peeped this over at Perez aint this a bitch.
Lupe Fiasco recently announced that his third studio album, LupE.N.D., will be his last. In his hometown of Chicago on Friday night, the rapper revealed that his final album will be a three-disc set divided among the letters E, N, and D. The “E” in LupE.N.D. stands for Everywhere, the “N” for Nowhere, and the “D” for Down Here. The album is scheduled for release next year.

“I just don’t really feel like rapping anymore,” Lupe told Rap-Up.com at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards in September.

Damn that sucks, Lupe is ill you should know this. One of the few "mainstream" cats representing real hip-hop. Even though people tried to shat on his first album Lupe Fiasco's Food and Liquor, The Cool shut them up. I am really sad to hear that but I hear where he's coming from though. He came into the game made a mark and he's down, bowing out gracefully and on top of his game and not getting benched cause his hearts not in it anymore. I'm looking forward to this next album. That reminds me Q-Tip's new albm dropped i should go cop that.

Yeeeah Son!

Wow, well as you all know it was election day yesterday in the US of A and what a day it was. I got off work at 9am to go home pick up my brother and go vote. Well I got home turned my car off went into the house, gathered some things then my brother and I made our way to my car. Well my car wouldnt start, I was astonished! I just brought my car a month ago, grant it is used but I didnt think it will stall out on my already! So my mom came home and tried to jump it but that didn't work. I had to take her car and drop her off at the doctor's then my brother and I went to the community resource center and voted. I was scared about voting because all morning at work i have heard horror stories about how long lines where and that was the last thing I wanted to deal with after getting off work. Good thing was when I got there @ 11a there was absolutely no line, it took my brother and 5 minutes to walk in, vote and walk out, that was awesome. Putting the little I voted sticker on felt good it felt real good for this is my first time voting. Oh and about the car long story short it wouldnt start cause the security mechanism in my car malfunctioned and like shut itself down, weird I know but I got it taken care of. After this eventful day i fell asleep around 7:30 hoping to wake up to good news when getting ready for work early this morning. When i finally pried myself from my bed @ midnight the news I 've been waiting for was there, Obama has won. This is something that at 23 yrs old I thought I would never seen in my lifetime. I am still in disbelief. I am also scared, scared for those people who see this as a black man (or half black man) being president and not as a person who is taking on the astronomical task of putting this country back together. Biggots who can not just take an ass whopping as an ass whopping and sit back just as the unheard and disenfranchised has dealt with Bush for the past eight years. I'm sorry get over it, you'll be just fine. I work at a radio station and more specifically in the AM talk news dept. The listening audience is mostly conservative middle aged white males who thinks Obama is a socialist,a muslim, a terrorist, his ideas are too radical, he will ruin America. Well Sirs how much more shitty can America be right now? Fighting 2 wars that was not approved for the most part, and for what reason. Radical ideas that put us into war and caused a global financial breakdown, nah that's not 'radical' at all, this is completely normal. If you feel Obama has radical ideas, so what if he does, maybe these radical ideas is radical enough to put America back in the middle, not good, not bad, not normal, not shitty, just balanced. I'm not saying that magic is going to happen and everything is gonna be peachy, but come on, we need something else SOMETHING, and I sure hope this is it.
People's willin out.


And I'll leave you with some funnies.

The Government and stairs totally suck...

but Tenacious D does NOT suck. See what I mean around :32 into the vid

When You Got That Glow

So apparently hollywood continuously runs out of original ideas and keep re-making movies. This time they are looking to re-make the amazingly-bad 80's kung fu classic "Barry Gordy's The Last Dragon"
Premise:A black kid by the name of Leroy Green Jr is an up and coming super martial arts dude who is obsessed with Bruce Lee and wants to find "The Glow" along the way he has villans like some video dude and of course Sho-Nuff the sho gun of HArlem. Then of couse there's a chick. You know what just watch the movie! Anyways so yeah hollywood plans on remaking that. The only good point to this is that they tapped Samuel L Jackson to play Sho-Nuff! I mean I think Sammie was born and bred to play Sho-Nuff, his whole career has been leading up to this paticular role. If he does not win an Oscar for his performance as Sho-Nuff the Sho Gun of Harlem World I I I just dont know what im going to do. Im going to pull a "Do the Right Thing" move and throw a trashcan into a pizzaria, real talk son.
And I bid you Ado with a montage of sho-nuff.

Umm...YES!

Yo Domino "Ghetto Jam" not too many people I know knew about this song, this is that early 90's G-Funk ish. The only person other than my brother that I know knew about this jam was my roomate/friend/lil Ashlee and I my head nearly exploded when I found that out.

Dont leave no child behind!

So Chocolate News on Comedy Central is pretty much shaping up to be the biznass. We as a people are not stupid and know CC is trying to find another Chappelle Show. However this is David Alan Grier we are talking about and he's been in the game for a long time. So give respect where respect is due. This is D.A.G as Fat Man telling you about to dont leave no child behind!

Never break the chain

So Fleetwood Mac(circa stevie nicks and co.) is the biznass. They had some crazy harmonies, I am a sucker for harmonies. Stevie Nicks is a hot b-i-t-c-h, definite girl crush. Check out Fleetwood's(the drummer) faces, too much.

Hollaween '08

Of course this past friday was holloweenie and I rehashed my costume from last year and was a Nun, it never fails. Didn't do a whole lot like I wanted to but it was still cool nonetheless. One of my best best best friends in the world Brandon is home on leave from Iraq so he came along with my cuz Alexis and friend Ridge and we all went out to the Taphouse in downtown Hampton. Upon my entrance into the bar I finally found Jesus! It was awesome we took a picture, im waiting till Ridge posts it and I'll post it here. T-house was alright got a drink caught up with Brandon a bit, got to hang out with my cuz which we never get to do cause we are always so busy. After about 2 hours there Brandon and I went over to our boys Troy's house. Me and these guys go way back and anytime we are together we always reminisce over "the good ol days". I love those cats, my night was done by like 2am. It was cool got to hang out with my boys got to drink a little not to debautcherific like last year, which was really crazy up in Radford but definitely a really good time, hope you guys had a good time as well. Up next? Spanksgiving. This will be my first thanksgiving home in a while, I get to spend with my fam, which is always a good time.
