iSuicide

25 yr old chinese worker Sun Dayong jumped to his death after an iPhone prototype that he was responsible for went missing. After he reported it missing the company he works for searches his apartment, three days later he jumped to his death. Hmmm, I dont know about you but this sounds shady to me. I mean I understand there maybe a lot of pressure associated with handling these prototypes but killin yo self!? I dont know. Im thinking that the suits layed some crazy ish on him like if he didnt find it they were going to cut his thumbs off. Now you know the thumbs are the texting fingas! So that begs the question, would you rather kill yourself or live without your texting fingas?

Wow.

*I just want to note that all the post today will have one word headings, just to entertain myself :)*

YESterday the longest solar eclipse of the 21st century (well the 21st century so far) occured yesterday in Asia. It lasted 6 mins and some change. Obviously because it was an eclipse darkness fell during the day. Eclipses are so friggin cool,I really have nothing else to say about it, its that cool.

...born in '88, how old is that? Old enough

HA! Best line in the song to me. So this is the new video for my boyfri---*ahem* Kid Cudi's new single "Make Her Say" ft Kanye and Common. Now this is not my favorite Kid Cudi song but it seems like it will get radio airplay as well as video play. I can't wait for the album Man on the Moon:The End of Day, it sounds like its going to be pretty epic. Originally slated for August 25th just last week it got pushed back to Sept 15th boooo, anyways check out the vid, it has a cool, breezy, monochromatic look, and Cudi looks tasty ;)

I am a cold unemotional person, but some things make me melt. Jeff Buckley, watching grown men cry, Christian the Lion, and 5 legged puppies. This puppy Lily was saved from going into a Coney Island freak show which saying Coney Island freak show is like a double negative or whatever. Coney Island is a freak show. I went to Coney Island once on a school field trip in the 3rd grade the one year I lived in Brooklyn (shoutouts to PS 257!)and all I remember was a remark made about the Coney Island beach having hypodermic needles. And there you have it.

Today in 'Aint that a B!tch' News

Man bursts into flames after taser attack. Does the headline need further explanation, didnt think so. But lets put ourselves in Ronald Mitchell's shoes. After a long day of work in Australia Ronnie just wanted to go home, sniff gasoline and drink beer. He didnt bother nobody he was in petroleum heaven. Then a cop comes along and ruins his high! So RoMi runs towards the cop because... well he's high on gas. The cop tasers him and he bursts into flames, man what a crappy day.

Pic of the day

This is a picture of the most crowded swimming pool in ze werld! I just shudder at the sight of this, all dem people, all the dirt oozing off their bodies you know 1 out 4 people took a whiz while swimming ugghh :shudders: Good thing the kids in Philly didnt have to resort to this.

iPot.

So there is an iPhone application by the name of CANNIBUS which directs you in the way of finding LEGAL marijuania. That's kind of lame, let me explain. When I first saw this headline I thought the app was to find the wacky tabacy anywhere. Like Paco or Terrell or Saul or whomever. But its for legal stuff like coffee shops and cafes, what a cop out. Im going to create an app called KUSH, the hood version of CANNIBUS, jk...kinda HA!

Today's bloggin is being brought to you by

Corey Feldman, because its his birfday!

Ok I see where your going.

In South Africa they now have equiped ATM's with pepper spray to attack robbers. Phew that's close. I thought they were going to use the pepper spray to attack people who repeatedly overdraft on their accounts. If that's the case I would have been blind years ago, feel me?

Another Dumba$$ Inspired by...I can't say

I have made several posts about idiotic people being inspired by one of the ultimate 'guy flicks' which I am also a fan of "Fight Club". This time a 17 year old kid tried to copycat "Project Mayhem" and he saw Starbucks as a corporate symbol and decided to blow it up memorial day weekend. Right because if you destroy 1 Starbucks corporate america will come to a screeching halt. News flash: corporate america has fubar'd for a while now. For people to be inspired by a movie and try to immulate it is foolish, especially since it didnt turn out to great. Hardbody, yes. Great in terms of quality of life? Not so much.

Today in 'Umm' News

Contact Lenses for Animals. Ummm I really dont have any comments on this story.Animals get cataracts so some firm in some foreign country decided to make contacts for animals. I would suggest the animals take the 'snoop dogg approach' for their cataracts...wait that's for glaucoma, whatever.All joking aside it seems like a pretty neat idea. I wonder if animal contacts will be just as irritating as human contact lenses. Paging Ben Stein.

This guy, Ive seen him on a few blogs but I cant recall his name, I think its franklin.

Song of the Day

Usually I do posts like these on my twitter but I wanted to 'splain this in further detail. Today's song is Deftones' "Back to School". You know at certain points in your life when you see something or hear a song and at the time you dont know just how much it impacts your life. Well this song did that for me. I did not even realize this till this morning whilst driving to work and having the iPood on shuffle and thinking about when I first heard this song. It was 10th grade so...2000 and I was really 'accepting' myself. That meaning I was a black kid from the 'hood' who was into rock music, and different than a lot of her peers. So I constantly constantly listened to 96X (which is an alternative rock station, a station I admired as a teen, ironically enough I work at the company that owns the station and it sucks now, definitely what it used to be, a sad affair really.)This song came on and I think my head exploded. Now this is not the Deftones' best song, but it is a good song off of their best album White Pony. A little while after that my girl Shelainey gave me a copy of the album, she bought another cause the copy she had did not have "Back to School" on it, go figure. But yeah I just wanted to share that. Your Welcome.
PS CHI update. As you may or may not know the bassist Chi was in a car crash and fell into a coma in November, on the website One Love for Chi it is said that is in a semi-concious state, not exactly out of the coma but out of the coma at the same time, make sure you go over to the site for updates.

My Thoughts On...

This picture reminds me of Waynehead
So something has always erked me but yesterday really had me not fuming but annoyed. This is about T.I. and him being in jail. Yesterday his new video for "Remember Me" magically appeared on the internets and the TVs. What annoys me is the fact that he is going to jail for one year and a day and he is shoving every second of it down our throats. Now I do have to commend him. In the ADD generation we have these days a recording artist can be hot today and forgot about next week. So I can see that he is trying to keep his name in peoples thoughts and mouths.And I also admire the community service that he did before him going in. However to me its getting to the point where its annoying. Just because you wanted to purchase friggin torpedos in a walgreens parking lot doesnt mean we have to suffer for it with you IMO. Then I started thinking about all the other rap artist that went to jail far longer for far worse offenses. Remy Ma got like what 8-10 yrs Shyne got 10 (is he out yet?) C-Murder, Mystical, etc. Maybe they didnt make albums or songs about their situations because A)they were more concerned about what they were facing or B)they are not smart business people. Eh, time will tell.

And im done.

An 'Aw Hail Naw' Update

So I posted about this story last week, since then the children have been offered a refund of the money and invited back to the pool but the damage has been done as a class action lawsuit has been filed. If people do not believe racism is alive and well in America today this is an unfortunate event. In Philly no less, city of Brotherly love my a$$! For more on this story click hurr

The Oscars could be getting a Hangover

Saw this piece over on Fox News where "we report, you decide." about how "The Hangover" could be Oscar worthy. I say YES. Because the Oscar's had changed the rules a bit where there can 10 movies in the running of Best Picture instead of the usual 5. Check out the story here

Today starts my weakend.

Thursdays are my fridays, friday is my saturday, saturdays are my sunday's but like a sunday where there is a three day weekend so you can go out. Know what im saying? Anyways im going to smooth in out right now with these choice cuts. First up we have Tanya Morgan, for the longest time I thought it was some R&B chick and I was always thinking why is this chick like on legit hip hop websites and blogs? Turns out its a group HA! Anywho here is their jammie "So Damn Down"

Next Up is Red and Meth "Mrs.International" with a hook by Eric Sermon. Redman KILLS this song.

Hamburger Status!!

Ha. So a few weeks ago while my NY family was down for my father's funeral I was introduced to a glorious new song featuring who else but....RON BROWZ!. It's called "20 dollars" and its banoodles. Here is just a little snippet of this phenom with a few choice words a prelude if you will from professor funk master flex

News bites

You's a HOE! I wish I would have thought of this...ok not really, its actually not that clever, but still amusing. A las vegas man won his right to have HOE on his license plate. I mean I dont know what's so shocking, Nevada says its ok to be a HOE so what's the biggie?
Song dedication: RIP to the Vincent Smith II he died from falling into a huge thingy of boiling chocolate, how unfortunate yet what a way to go. This song is for you Vinnie.

Today in 'Aw Hail Naw' News

It's a really a friggin shame that this is 2009 and stories like this pops up.African American children of a Philadelphia summer camp were told to leave a pool in a private club after they ponied up over $1000 to have the kids swim there. In a statement of the club president said

"There was concern that a lot of kids would change the complexion … and the atmosphere of the club,"

What!? AW HAIL NAW. Attitudes like this in these days and times are absolutely inexcusable. Now if they did not want the children to part of the club because of their economic status, fine but still not cool at all. This place can to go to hell in a hand basket, unbelievable. For the story go here.

The realest *bleep* I ever wrote.

So I have not posted in a while with good reason, on the day that I was last blogging my father was in heart surgery. Let's take this from the top. On father's day my mom told me my dad was sick, something about his throat hurting. I didnt think anything of it. 2 days later on tuesday afternoon I open the door for him, mom brought him home early from work cause he still was not feeling good. So I opened the door, flashed a quick smile, we said our hello's, I headed off to bed. That would be the last time I would see my father alive. When I woke up late tuesday evening mom calls to tell me that dad had been admitted to the hospital. When she took him to the emergency room she thought they were going to give him some meds then send him on his way, this was not the outcome. During an x-ray they found that he had an aneurysm in his chest. He was transported to Norfolk Hear Hospital and as soon as he got there they conducted emergency surgery on his heart. After 8 hours of operating the doctors told my mother he was not going to make. He died wednesday afternoon June 24th at the age of 46. Doctors say the damage to his heart because of the aneurysm was beyond repair. Now a few words about my dad Tyrone Jones. He was a weirdo, the end. Just kidding. Well he was a weirdo I mean where do you think I get it from eh? He had a tough upbringing the first child of single,teenage mother, he grew up in the tough neighborhood of South Bronx NYC. In his teens he moved to Castle Hill Projects where he met my mother. A few years later they married him 20 my mother 19. He joined the military and 2 years after marriage I came along, my brother 3 and a half years after me. He served in the Navy, traveled the world a few times and served in Desert Storm. He was not always the easiest person to grow up with and he didnt always do or say the right things but at the end of the day he would do anything for his wife and children. One thing I can remember is when we moved back to VA and he was still in NY making NY money to send to us he called my mother and said that he was not able to come to VA for xmas. I cried and cried and he got on a bus and came anyway, you know things like that. We are a lot alike he and I (which my mother always said) in that we are not emotionally very open, not good with words or affection. But every once in awhile he would walk up behind me and rub my shoulders, kiss me on the cheek and say "I love you" to which I sheeply reply (cause that's how I am) "I love you too".Mom will always tell my brother and I how he talks about how proud he is of us and he we're such 'cool kids', something he would never say to us directly but just to know that's how he felt was good enough. Our last time all together was the friday before his death at my cousin Shanee's wedding reception. It was just a fun night and the best way that we can remember our dad, dancing around, smiling, making jokes. We are all still in disbelief that he is gone, we just all know he's going to come walk through the door, and everything would just be the way it is, but its not. Nothing will ever the same. But it is, what it is. Everything happens for a reason I dont understand it right now and I am not the most religious person in the world but I do believe that God has a masterplan for my mother, brother and I. And excuse my french G but it better be a damn good one! Just saying. The hardest part is over the funeral, the burial. Now its just time to adjust and move on as best as we can, but that's easier said than done. But let's try to look at the brightside if he was to survive his heart surgery would he be the same person? Would he have been in pain and suffer the rest of his life? Who knows, but something pretty cool came out of it, because he was an organ donor the powers that be used his eyes to give 2 people their sight, that's pretty dope. So in closing I love you dad and Im really going to miss you and your cheesecake.In the words of Forest Gump "that's all Im gonna say about that"
