Oh Yeah Happy New Year's (eve, day, wahtever)

So I do have the intention of posting this long drawn out post of a wrap-up of the year 2008 and what 2009 will hopefully bring including the music and movies of this expiring year. I just really dont feel like doing that right now. I do work tomorrow, yes on the first day of the new year, the national day of hangover's I am working. Dick Clark would not approve. So I will have a hunk of time on my hand's and I will do that post. I don't have any real plans tonight, I have to wake up @4:30 in the morning tomorrow so I plan on renting a movie buying some ice cream and just hanging out at home till I fall asleep. I was actually invited to this huge throwdown on some military base but I can't go. Besides I never gone out for NYE, for some reason I feel uneasy about being out in public on a night like that. So i'll just stay home and watch tv, it's a tradition, I like tradition's. But for the rest of you that will be venturing into the night please Please PLEASE be safe. It goes without saying DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE, its not fuggin worth it kids. And im done.

Men that I love

Aziz Ansari, an indian dude raised in south carolina. He is a stand-up comedian and you may recognize him from the unfortunately short lived MTV series "Human Giant" he's funny, he's smart, has great taste in music and yes I would smash that. Here is a youtubey of his stand up enjoy.

Eat shit die: Electric bugaloo

So remember how a while ago all the blog were posting a clip of some concert where Kanye but a fan on blast and told him to "Eat shit die" autotune style? Well I found this clip that makes the whole thing make a little more sense. Sure im late, but im not absent. ESD!

Down but not out Jammie

This was my sooong back in the day. If you don't know I am closet Dipset(RIP) fan and this was when Cam came back skinny with hey Ma and all that. So this Down and Out with Camron and Kanye.

Tops

So you can tell a lot about a person by the music they listen to...i think. What can you tell I dont know. But while looking on my iTunes playlist thingy I clicked on 25 most played. This is the top 25. What does this say about me? Oh yeah that's right, I'm awesome, although I do have my guilty pleasures peep #25

Scratch Notorious this is going to be EPIC

So as you should know the auto-bio of BIG is coming out Jan 16 of next year. Now there are many debates about who was better Biggie or Tupac, well there really is no argument. If you ask an east coast cat who's better more than likely it'll be Biggie, west coast dude's answer will more than likely be 'pac. But for any hip-hop head this is a HUGE deal and I can't wait to see it. This is going to be like Selena, I mean we all know how it ends but seeing everything before then is going to be a trip. My brother and I was like I hope they do like a midnight screening that they do for other lame ass movies like Harry Potter and Pirates of the Carribean. This is a big friggin deal.

The Weakend

So I only had one day off this week so I had to make friday night count, I like to think I did. I started off the evening by going out with mah cuzins RDGT and Alexis at some bar in Newport News with the name Firkin in it. Afterwards I was going to go home cause my bestie Shelainey did not get back to me about hitting up the Wave. At the last minute I decided to risk my life and text and drive at the same time and she answered back she was going so I turned around and got back on the interstate. Indie night at the Wave is turning into my fav night, it used to be 80's night but that night can be so predictable sometimes, well cause it's 80's night duh, I digress. As always good tunes, strong drinks, great people, lots of dancing, good times. This time I decided to go home cause I was tired cause I got off at work at 1pm and haven't slept so I was pooped. I got home snuggled in my bed and watched tv. TV got a little more exciting for me recently cause as one of my xmas gifts my mom got me a cable box so now I got movie channels, and music video channels that plays music videos! Imagine that! So I went to sleep while watching Chris Rock's "Kill the Messenger" which what I saw before I dozed off was hilarious. So yeah that was my weekend. Short sweet to the point.

I woke up with this song in my head Jammie

No I literally woke up with this song in my head, and apparently the best way to get a song out of your head is to listen to it again. I think I just made it worse.

Whatever Happened to?....

Orgy!? No not that you sick bastards (me included) the band Orgy.

I was all about some Orgy back hi skool. Orgy reminds me one of one my besties Garcia, he loooved them, I wonder if he still likes them as much.Anyways Orgy is a synth-industrial band from Cali they were signed to Korn's Elementree record label for a minute and became popular from their cover of "Blue Monday". I remember one time I was supposed to see them on Papa Roach's "Raid the Nation" tour back in the day but apparently there were all sick from mono so I couldnt see them (sad face). So after some exhaustive and extensive research I discovered that the band is in fact still together but busy working on side projects but hopefully will be making some orgy-full music someday soon, Im looking forward to it.Here is a video of them performing "Opticon" from the Vapor Transmission album on the show Farmclub, OMG do you remember that show!Hosted by that ball headed dude ummm Matt Pinfield? Jeez sooo long ago!

Joyous Kwanzaa my Peoples

Today begins the first day of Kwanzaa, or as I like to call it the black Hannakuh(i probably spelled that wrong, I apologize to my jewish peeps). Its the celebration of african roots, implemented as an alternative or addition to the christmas celebration. One day soon I would like to full out celebrate Kwanzaa, I have in the past but not like full out know what I mean? Every day of the Kwanz is a different principle. Today's principle is Umoja which is Unity(no Rick James) in Swahili. It means...well what do you think it means, Unity dammit! So unite with your people and let the good times roll, it is friday.

May You Purr In Peace.

Im quite sure you have heard the unfortunate news already that legend Eartha Kitt passed away on Christmas from colon cancer, she was 81. She kept kicking though, she was in the Hampton Roads area in like october performing, she lived life to the fullest as it should be lived. If you do not know who Eartha Kitt is google it I dont have time for you! Matter of fact google it, print it out, go to time out and read it,shame on you. But I am quite sure everybody is familiar with her in some form or fashion. I will leave you with some of Eartha's greatest work. Her role from Boomerang. Maarrrcus Darling.

Christmas Wrap-Up

So I worked xmas morning till 1 in the afternoon then I got home and my family and I opened our gifts. We were all pretty excited cause we did not have a christmas last year so yeah excitement. I was more excited than anything to give my mom her gift which was a red microwave that she has been dying for so she was very happy to get that. Me I made out pretty well, I got a cell phone case, a new robe, some slipper socks, and this...

Little Big Planet! My brother got it for me. My gift to him were tickets to the N*E*R*D show in november. I first played LBP last week at a friend of a friend's house and I loved it. It's cute, its challenging the soundtrack is trippy the levels are out of control, its my new addiction. So after we all opened our gifts we lounged around for a while, I played the game then we all went to the chinese buffet for a traditional christmas din din. All in all it was a nice christmas, not too much fuss real chill, short sweet to the point.

My Gift to You

Instead of watching A Charlie Brown Christmas or Miracle on 54th(?)st or Its A Wonderful Life or Look Who's Talkin Now or countless other pieces of propaganda from the ABC family channel or Hallmark channel make watching A Huey Freeman Christmas your family's tradition. No your welcome.
Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Oh yeah Merry Christmas

It is 7:13am and I am at work for christmas, yay me, whatever at least I get time and a half, well time and a half that will be taken out in taxes. Yeah im a winner, enough about me. Let's not forget what today is really about "the reason for the season" if you will. The birth of our lord Jesus Christ, if that what you believe. There are many theories and stories and myths and blah blah blah. I am not the most religious person in the world but I do know that a man was on this earth and died for our sins and I am thankful everyday to be alive etc. On a day like this let's not forget our brother and sisters overseas fighting for our freedom and risking their lives every second of every day. They are the ones who are not with their fams right now so please keep them in your thoughts. Special shout-out to one of my best best best friends in the whole entire galaxy a man whom I love with all my heart and them some Brandon Stith who is in Iraq right now. I dont know if your going to read this but I love you B and you know this man! So I can't wait to get home and see what I got, this is the first xmas my family has had in a while, during a recession too! Well hope you enjoy your day and dont forget to get me that Hello Kitty guitar, spanks.

The Gorrilaz is soooo myspace

So according to the ever present Myspace, the Gorillaz is the most popular artist on the site. This piece of info boggles me because they have not came out with any new material. They did release the D Sides album of unreleased materials late last year but it was not counted as a new studio album. But i aint mad at it. I love the Gorillaz and hope they come out with some stuff soon, they are the baddest cartoon band in the biznass next to Josie and the Pussycats then Jem followed Zack attack. Grant it Zack Attack are humans not cartoons, but they might as well be.To check out more on this story courtesy of NME go right chea So here's the Gorillaz "Rock it" from the joint that dropped last november.

Bahot Gahtdama!

So I know this is like so yesterday but I just had to post, he is a bad mama jamma, he is so bad he made me say mama jamma. So apparently people are all in a tizzy in both good and bad ways about this picture. Some are saying that a president shouldnt be seen like that, I mean helloooo he's on vacation in friggin Hawaii! And he can walk around shirtless all he wants he's a hot piece. And i'm done. Go here to some more semi-nude politician meat.

Let's get into the holiday spirit!

Viva la revolution por Jesus. These santa's are in Tempe, Arizona covering up traffic cameras at red lights, I say do that on mercury blvd(hampton,va) their intentions are good, well to me at least.

Jammie for the Sizzurp Slurpers

So when I first heard this song/saw this video I thought it was funny, catchy, dare I say "fun" song. This was long before the country as a whole knew about that "purp" for those of you not up on the lingo, shame on you, stay in time out, first let me explain to the best of my knowledge. Purp, Sizzurp whatevs is basically cough syrup mixed with (fill in blank here). I personally hate drinking cough syrup when I have to more or less drinking it for recreation but I digress. So if you listen to this song he's like professing his love for the purple drank, also like breaking down the history, it amazes me for some reason. It is also a little bit disturbing cause a little while ago we lost Big Mo from a heartattack and codine was found in his system at the time of his death. I mean this dude was obsessed with syrup he even named his album City of Syrup and he was also a part of the Screwed up Click most notably found by DJ Screw who died from Syrup years and years ago, but he himself continued until his death a while ago. Wow, purp must be like that. Oh well here's the video to "Purple Stuff" and rest in peace Big Mo in that big city of syrup in the sky.

Camp Lo Poppin Champagne!?

When I was on world star hip-hop and saw the title to this video my first thought was "ugh no not camp lo!" then I watched the video and I still dont know what to make of it.
But I mean it's Camp Lo and they really can't do no wrong in my book.

If you dont know who Camp Lo is maybe this will jog your memory.

And if that doesn't help you, you have no hope. Go to time out.

Hallelujah wont go away

On this week's chart in the UK Lenard Cohen's "Hallelujah" will be number 1 in part or in whole thanks to the singing competition "The X Factor" which is like American Idol. Oddly enough Jeff Buckley's rendition of the song got a spike on the iTunes list earlier this year thanks to that pot head kid on this year's American Idol. Why does this song repeatedly enter the charts and people's cerebrum? Cause it's an amazing song that's why! I am more familiar with the Jeff Buckley version when I apprehended a copy of Grace some years ago. Jeff makes my darkened soul cry. But overall it is an amazing heart wrenching beautimus song and will forever be around and all that stuff. To check out more on this story go here

The Weakend

Smurf and or Smurfed (n) pronounced (sm-er-ph-ed) to be heavily intoxicated. On friday I hit up my favorite spot the The Wave on Colley St in Norfolk, its a gay club but people of all preferences hit up the spot because its a cool alternative club with the best music. On friday's it "Indie Night" where danceable indie rock is played. Its usually pretty empty on indie night cause the big night at the wave is their 80's night on thursday's. This week it was a loot of kids there it was real fun though. Afterwards we went the after hours spot and played "Little Big Planet" on PS3 for hours,I went to the 24 hour Burger King on the way home, I didnt get in till after 5 and destroyed french toast sticks like it stole something, it was fun. Partying on a budget, ITS A RECESSION GOING ON!

A Jammie for da beepas

I didnt even know they had a video for this song. This is Fam-Lay with "The Beeper Song". Fam-lay is from Nofolk and signed to the Neptunes' label startrak. He has been signed to Startrak since Startrak was Startrak and he has still not dropped an official studio album yet! I mean I love the Neptunes and the music that Startrak artists come out with when they do come out but as a label Startrak needs to get it together. I understand you know the grassroots hood campaign and Fam-Lay is getting paid since he tours with N*E*R*D, but he needs to come out with an album already. Startrak let's get it together please! Love, Tylia.

Maury makes the world go round the ups and downs are carousels

I am quite sure at one time or another Maury Povich was a respected journalist. Well I still respect him. He is single handedly changing people's lives every day. He makes my life worth living. If it was not for his show I wouldn't be able to tell a woman from a really good tranny. I can see how people were once geeks and now they're chic. I can also see people's dreams come true, and people's lives come to a crashing halt simultaneously. I've been on youtube scouring for paternity test results. The prime example of someone's best day and someone's worst. Look at this square white dude finding out a bit of news and watch him turn into a black woman, yes from square white to a sista gurl.

It all comes crashing...

DOWN! the new N*E*R*D vid enjoy

Oh no you shouldnt have!

So I dont care how old you are, how tomboyish you are, how butch you are, if you have a vagina, you have a sore spot for Sanrio and Hello Kitty. The first time I walked into the Sanrio store in Norfolk I literally eeked yes eeked not to be confused with gleeked which is gross. Anyways flowers and daises and rainbows and unicorns shot out of my anus, seriously. I was in the store for an hour just walking around in amazement and this is a small store but there is just too much adorobaleness going on, its too much. So the last time I went to the store my mom was with me and she said pick out something I wanted and she will get it for me for xmas. She really doesnt have to but...wait she does! Anyways I want some things not for the holiday but just in general. This is a jedi mind trick in which i trick you into getting these things for me, ia it working!? Yeah didnt think so.
1)Kuromi wallet,she's like the rockstar of Sanrio. I already have the miniature version of this wallet but I still want this one, Im not greedy.

2)Hello Kitty Digital Camera, I mean COME ON!

3)The Grand Dame of them all the HK geetar!

Sweet

The Presets are going to tour in north america in the spring and I want to go the DC show on april 1 WHO'S GOIN WITH ME!???? Don't know who The Presets are? They rock your face off while dancing till your butt cheeks melt into one....cheek. YEah that's right!
Check out all the dates here.

Facebook does it again!

Facebook a place where you find your friends, spy on your enemies or people that you perviously and stupidly hooked up with. Let people know who your dating and when you guys broke up. Where you worked and for how long. You can send hugs, kisses, plants, pokes, bumper stickers, flair, drinks high fives, karate chops, legal documents, vampires...wait legal documents!? Yep that's right. In the words of one our great philosphiers Trevor George Smith Jr. (google it) IT AINT SAFE NO MORE! Wooo ha facebook got you all in check.
In what may be a world first, lawyers from Canberra law firm Meyer Vandenberg persuaded a judge in the Australian Capital Territory's Supreme Court to allow them to serve the documents over the internet after repeatedly failing to serve the papers in person.

Lawyer Mark McCormack came up with the Facebook plan after it became clear that the couple did not want to be found.

No word yet on whether these people received and what they're status says. I will think something along the lines of "I fought the law and law won...f%ck" That's just a guess. Check out the full story here

Jammie for the Recession

So I love me some Prince, like really, who doesn't love Prince. I prefer late 70's to early 90's Prince, before he became the symbol then he just lost me. I tried to like the new stuff that Prince have put out over the past few years but he really has not grabbed me. By the way I want the deluxe edition of the Purple Rain DVD or the soundtrack of Purple Rain ON VINYL for Kwanazamas, thanks. Anyways I was listening to my iPod on my way from work the other morning and this song popped up, it has always been my jam but I really listened to it in a new sense. Even this song was made over a decade ago it is VERY relevant to what's going on right now. This is "Money Don't Matter Tonight" from the Diamonds and Pearls album.The video is a double whammo cause it was directed by the great Spike Lee.

Prince - New Music - More Music Videos

Incredibad

So the guys from the lonely island troupe have come a long way. Jorma and Akiva are writers on SNL and Andy is a big shot in the SNL cast as well as a writer. All of the musical talents they have blessed us with for some time now will now come in the form of a comedy album the name of the album is Icredibad and is slated for release in feburary. I for one am severely looking forward to this i've been a fan of these three dudes for a minute now.To read more about this via Rolling Stone here ya go. Here is one of my favorite songs of theirs.

Are you ADHD!?

So for those that don't know a few weeks ago I went to the N*E*R*D show at Old Dominion University (norfolk,va) and a while ago I saw this video on NERD's official youtube channel so I figured i'd post it here. This will give you a taste of how INSANE the show was, they opened the show with "Anti-Matter" and kids went bonkers, me included, imagine standing in the front of this whole thing and being smooshed..yeah it was awesome <_>.

Wont you come over love Jammie

This is the Estelle joint with Sean-a Paul durty eh. This is the jammie love the reggae feel of it, the only reasons sunday's make me happy is because of the reggae show on the hip-hop and r&b radio station round here. I've always equated sunday's with reggae cause even when I was younger and my parents would do like house work or whatever (cause I think sunday is the international day for cleaning your house) and my dad will always play reggae, not dancehall, reggae reggae know what im saying? So anyways enjoy the jammie.

Sneak peek

Here is a behind the scenes video for N*E*R*D's next single "Sooner or Later" which is one of my favorite songs off of Seeing Sounds. The video is being based off of the stock market which is really clever cause even though one can assume the song is about a failed relationship it really works for this situations as well, plus all the boys look HAWT! Enjoy <_>
Sooner Or Later - Behind The Scenes

For the record, I luh you

So every year VH1 puts on these hip hop honors award shows which I always look forward to. I just always found it weird that VH1 would put on something like this since they never play hip hop videos but I appreciate the idea. So the last show was in october and I liked the Issac Hayes tribute since of course we all know Mr Issac passed away this year. I really liked Estelle's rendition of the Mary J song and of course Cee-lo, gaht I love that man and friggin Mos Def I lurve him too so just enjoy this clip its pretty epic...to me anyways

El fin de semana

What did I do this weekend? The best thing anyone can do. Sleep! I slept my whole days off and I dont regret it one bit. Sure I wanted to go out and have a few drinks, I mean who doesn't erry once in a while, but I did the next best thing, scratch that I did the best thing. Sleep! I got off from work on thursday and I went to Sleep! I wanted to make plans to go to 80's night, that fell through so I went back to Sleep! I woke up the next morning took my mom to work, sat around watched tv, I picked my mom up back from work, we made some margaritas then I fell to Sleep! I woke up the next day took my mom to target to pick up some things got a sweater and this sweet hat...

After that I went home and went to Sleep! Yeah it was awesome. Now im back at work booooo, I can't wait till I go home so I can go to you guessed it. Sleep!

Aww Man...REALLY!

So as I have blogged about before I was supposed to go see Nine Inch Nails in Charlottesville at the beginning of November but due to me being broke I couldnt go. So no it turns out it may be the last time NIN is going to tour...I think.
"The shows we have announced in 2009, and any more that may be announced, will be a completely different approach with some different personnel, and will likely be the last for the foreseeable future."

Well that's great ::smacks self on forehead:: Check out the full story courtesy NME.com here.

Recant

So previously a number of posts ago I wrote about Kanye West being a douchebag, well I didnt write Kanye being a douchebag but I wrote about someone else writing about about why Kanye is a douchebag thus me linking the story thus agreeing with this person. Well I Tylia recant my assumed agreenessness of someone calling Kanye a douchbag. Here's the thing, I've always admired Kanye's vision and talent I have enjoyed his first 3 albums I think he's a great musician. I was never a fan of Kanye the person because at times he just seemed unlikeable like he seemed to wound up. After reading this article that I spotted over at his blog I have a new respect for him now. Especially after I got 808's and Heartbreaks which I LOVE, such a great album. Not a great rap album, not a great hip-hop album, not a great pop album, just a great album. Period. So that's that I'm sorry Kanye I'm the douchebag, hardbody. So I leave you with a live video performance of my favorite song off the new album "Paranoid"

ITS MY 100TH POST!!!

Its a celebration biznatches! Its my 100th blog post yay for me! Im pretty excited I started this blog in september and I want to thank all 4 people who have at least once read this abyss of self depracative and mindless shadoobie hope you've enjoyed it and continue to. I dont know how deep I would take this whole blog thing. I admire people who do this hardcore. People like Perez, Michael K, Fresh, Dallas Penn, Shabooty etc etc, I would hope to one decade be a percentage of what they're blogs are, just something people like to come to just to waste time so yeah sweet.

Yesterday

Yesterday was my mom's 45th bday yesterday and when I got off of work i ran home and made my mom a cake. After it was made and ghettorically decorated by moi, my brother and I went to her job and surprised her. I wanted to do something special cause 1) she's my mom and she's my mom 2) cause its 45 and half way towards 50 which is hilarious and 3) she had a stroke about a month ago and we are lucky she is still yelling at us about cleaning our rooms.So yeah its all about the little things kids. Even if its not your moms birthday or anything make her breakfast or treat her to a lunch sometimes. Mother's do a lot for the kids as you should know and dammit she deserves it!Spank you very much

OH. MY.GAHT

This is quite possibly the hottest video ive seen EVUR! Andy, Jorma AND Akiva is in this piece, this will also double fo a jammie.

John Lennon Day

Today marks the death anniversary of John Lennon. I am not much of a Beatles head (SACRILEDGE I know) but I do know that Lennon is one of the greatest songwriters of all time till some douche bag chose to take that away from us. So this kit-kat is for you Mr Lennon may you rest in peace and love.

Revolution Jammie

Esthero is a bad chick son she's been around for a good minute some white chick from canada with some street cred( i think) check out the song from the "Slam" soundtrack with her and Goodie Mob. Anyways this jammie came out a number of years ago its a call to arms for all the real musicians in the industry.I used to play this song a lot when I had my radio show back at school ::sighs:: ah the good ol days. This is "We R in Need of a Musical Revolution"

LONG LIVE TURBO!!

so when I was a kid Breakin' 2:Electric Bugaloo used to come on allll the time, I watched it front to back every single time. How can you not!? So I need the DVD and soundtrack under my tree for kwanzaa, thanks! Here is my favorite scene from that movie I sitting here watching it still trying to figure out how they did this. It's probably something relatively easy like Jamoraqui's "Virtual Insanity" you know? But who cares this will forever be awesome.

After doing some exhaustive and extensive (read:wikipedia, and research done in 5 mins) I found out that Michael "Shrimp" Chambers aka Turbo is now working at Disney World as break dancing Mickey. I NEED to see that.

Industry, Charity, Faith Jammie

When it comes to movies I only like a few kinds: Gangsta movies,spike lee movies, comedies and musicals(but im very picky on that one). So im not into romantic comedies unless they are the only thing on cable at that moment, and chick flicks. Sometimes however there are just movies that just grab you. Maybe cause you used to watch it all the time as a kid so it holds a special place in your heart. That is the case with Beaches. This movie along with Steel Magnolias are like the ultimate chick flicks. Maybe I liked Beaches so much cause it had music in it, eh I dont know.Bette is bad ass biotch, definite GC. Anyways here is one of my favorite parts from the movie "Oh Industry"

Keep yo Iris on that Virus.

So while at work I stumbled upon this article talking about a new virus on facebook called Koobace, sounds cute right? Apparently it can do some real gaht damage to your comp.This is how it spreads:
Koobface spreads by sending notes to friends of someone whose PC has been infected. The messages, with subject headers like, "You look just awesome in this new movie," direct recipients to a website where they are asked to download what it claims is an update of Adobe Systems Inc's Flash player.

If they download the software, users end up with an infected computer, which then takes users to contaminated sites when they try to use search engines from Google, Yahoo, MSN and Live.com, according McAfee.

In my opinion when it comes to the 'grunge' movement of the early 90's there were the big 4: Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains and Soundgarden. Now your music novices will run off at the mouth about how there were so many other bands from that era that never got their shine on and will name drop bands like Mudhoney or what not but hey for the sake of this post let's not go there k? So within the big 4 of that era I believe it was split into 2 groups. The people who idolized Nirvana and Pearl Jam, and the kids who loved Alice in Chains and Soundgarden. I am one the kids who love AIC and Soundgarden. Grant that I was pretty late during this whole thing cause I was like 7 while this was occuring and I came too around the time Soundgarden broke up (which broke my heart by the way) So I look back in history and this is how I see it. AIC was just awesome and gritty and Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell should make the list of great vocal/guitar duos such as Mick and Keith, Steven and Joe etc. Their harmonies were on point. Plus Layne was hot with an amazing voice and unfortunately the voice was silenced in 2002 due to a drug overdose. Why do hot dudes always die so young? So here is one of my favorites if not my favorite Alice in Chains song "Grind"

What's the difference!?

So the other day my mother and I somehow stumbled upon the subject of heterosexual 'relations' (I dont like saying the 'S' word) vs homosexual 'relations'. Not in great detail but she was just talking about if a female was involved with a male who plays for both teams she should be careful when he cheats with men. I brought up the argument of what is the difference whether he cheats with men than if he cheated with a woman, its all the same diseases. Then she came back with well its more dangerous with a man. This boggled my mind that she would make one more dangerous than the other. If someone is not protected when having relations with either gender it will be just as bad. My mother is an open minded person, some of the people she was close to growing up were homosexual males including her voice teacher and one of her best friends. This best friend whom she made my Godfather. My godfather who was one of the first wave of homosexuals to die from AIDS in the 80's. A disease that was known as gay disease which we all now know is not true. Maybe thats why she sees it as more dangerous because she know gay men whom have perished from this epidemic but not straight men or women, maybe thats it. As a lover of all people(well except for douche bags and whores) specially mah gays ,lezzies and bi-bi-bi's I just say everyone be safe, you already know the drill protect yourself yada yada.

Sheep!

So I'm following the herd and signed up on twitter today, I am still a little bit confused as to exactly what it is. Is it like a combo of aim +text messaging? I really dont know. Apparently a lot of people are all about it and I am one for always going with sheep of social networking. So look me up on twitter here and introduce me to this world.

Your Dad My Boyfriend Whatever.

So this is one of my favorite digital shorts starring Jonah Hill whom I heart enormously.

M.I.A. is manly.

Maybe this will explain why I have a massive girl crush on her you can read the new article on Maya where she talks about her baby daddy and the male energy that is inside her (grr). I LOVE YOU M.I.A.!*ahem* Sorry I lost myself a little bit there ha.

Did you know?

Apparently Bone Thugz and Harmony re-reunited? I know it was what 2 yrs ago when Lazy, Krazy and Wish came out with that song with Akon. Now Flesh is out of county from doing an 11 yr bid and Bizzy is back! That is all I care about Bizzy coming back. Bizzy bone is the only bone that matters! So they had a show in LA on monday and they performed all the jams like this one.(skip to around :45)

Anyways I mean like I said before the only reason I am even a tad bit excited is because Bizzy bone is back, I mean this man is so deep and so talented as demonstrated here.

Guilty pleasure Jammie

So I don't know if you have heard this song, and if you have I dont know how you feel about it, I feel like I should hate it but its darn catchy. This dude Kevin Rudolph is actually signed to Cash Money...yeah so yeah check it out.

Soul wrenching Jammie

This is a great video, that banter between the two is clever because they are saying what is being read in between the lines of the normal break-up bs, plus JORMA IS IN IT!

Primetime Jammie

This is the video for Daft Punk's "Primetime of Your Life" from the album Human After All. I know there is some like deep-rooted meaning behind the video about what is considered beauty or conformity or acceptance or whatever, the video is pretty warped though, the first time I saw it I was a little..freaked out I guess, but its a great video and the video going with the song just gives it this overall creepy or uncomfortable affect. In other words its pretty friggin sweet.

GLASSJAW!!!

Ok so I remember up on a late night years ago and seeing the video for "Cosmopolitan Bloodloss" and falling in love. Glassjaw is...Glassjaw. If you dont know about them look it up kid. Glassjaw has not released anything really since their last album Worship and Tribute which I worshipped and tributed in high school, I lived by this album. My bff and I everytime we go out together we have to end the night by singing to "Ape Dos Mil" its a tradition. Anyways the lead singer Darryl Palumbo have been off doing many other projects like Head Automatica whom I also love as well as launching the ultra cool chic hipster underground musician artist collective known as Cardboard City, I wish I was in Carboard City it just sound so cool to be a part of. So yeah I just saw this on Glassjaw.net and had to share it with you guys its something new "You think you're John f@cking Lennon", so does this mean new GJ stuff coming out!? Jeez I hope so
edit: it seems that #1 glassjaw.net no longer have the song posted and #2 divshare seems to be on the outs as well. Glassjaw.net says if you go to glassjaw.com you'll eventually hear it, kind of shady if you ask me son.
