Quick Digs

So here's my 2 pennies on some news stories of the week.

Swine Flu: I think its a conspiracy to get our minds off of Susan Boyle, but that's just me. I mean I dont know how to feel about it. I feel sorry for those who've been diagnosed and those who have passed from it, that sucks. It's just one of those things for me of if I dont know anyone with it, or have it myself, I dont care. The media continues to instill fear in people and I dont know why. Everyone is already on the edge as it is.

Air Force 1 scaring the poop out of people: This whole thing was just really poor judgement on (fill in blank here)'s part. I mean having low flying planes around the NY skyline, really? For something like that why wouldnt the public be notified about it. Its not like they are going ruining the shot, getting their homies together and posting up against the plane in a bboy stance when its flying in the friggin sky. What the H does the Air Force One have anything to do with the NY skyline? Maybe they were trying to get a shot of the statue of liberty.It was just a bad call.

Obama's fist 100 days: So every one is giving their critique of President's Obama's first 100 days. I think it is unfair to asses any president after only 100 days in office. I dont know what magical acts people are expecting. I've said it once and I'll say it again, its going to take time people.

Some old republican dude now turning democrat: I think its going to be an eye opener (hopefully) to see that a person who has been in the house for x amount of years and been a republican for x amount of years is now switching. Im quite sure its strategic seeing that the dems are the house majority at the moment. I also believe he is genuinly sick of what the republican party has become. I view the rep. party as like school yard bullies with money, but im not going to get into all of that cause well, im lazy.

And im done.

Blogging for the sake of blogging.

You know sometimes you just aren't motivated to do what you have to do. But you have to do it for the sake of the people (or person in my case hi Rachahd!) that follow you and what you do. Blogging is something that I do for fun and that fun is sparked by pop culture events happening around me. There really isnt anything that inspirational in my world at the current time but here are some music tid-bits that almost peaked my interest.
Youtube will be taking off all "premium videos" from their site. What does "premium videos" mean exactly I dont know. Apparently there is some dispute over money which is surprising between the tubes of you and the Performing Rights Society. Whatever as long as they have old episodes of Martin and Wishbone I could care less.

Depeche Mode has announced that Peter, Bjorn and John will be opening up for them on their summer north american tour, that is pretty exciting.

Nine Inch Nails will be in Charlotte, NC on june 12, guess who's going to (try to) see them! This chica lawd willing.

And im done.

NO more bloggin today

I totally had the intention of doing at least some more blogging but i caught up on doing stuff for my side gig. More deets on that later. I know you care so much that's why im telling you. Your Welcome.

Pill the pain away!

So apparently now "they"(whomever they are) are working on a pill that erases bad memories. Too late on that one, its called ecstasy and mind erasers, wait just kidding, sorta. The pill will more help with anxiety and phobias rather than what you did that one saturday night in a best buy parking lot, I digress. This pill already exists in a blood pressure medication so I dont really know how it works on memory. Whatever just read for yourself.

A Lazy Blogger's Music News Thingy

1.If you have not heard Prince will be releasing 3 albums pretty soon. What I am most excited about is that one of these albums MPLSOUND will be reminiscent of "When Doves Cry" um yes please!

2. Jim Jones popped champagne when he turned himself in to the authorities after a rumored scuffle with some security personell at Ne-Yo Xmas eve party. Making it one of the most ungangsteruos places to have a fight evur.

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.

Girl Crush!

M.I.A. coming back with Fiyah Fiyah! So I love M.I.A., if I was a dude I would be on her, heavy. From different sources she has like different names. some have been Maya, seen some others, but for the purpose of this post lets call her Maya. Maya Arulpragasm was born in Sri Lanka her dad was like some type of rebel dude and her family moved to London when she was in her teens or somethings like that. She actually was an artist and was into films until she went on a tour to film a documentary for a band opening up for PEACHES. Peaches convinced her to start making music and lets say the rest is history. Her first album Arular came out in 2005 and the song "Galang" was heard on like Honda commercials which was....c o o l kind of. That album became a solid success both stateside and overseas. Kala came out in august of 2007 and the song "Paper PLanes" started climbing the charts a year after the album came out due to the fact that it was in the trailer of "Pineapple Express"(great movie by the way). I just love (codeword:Hate) how everyone is on the M.I.A. bandwagon now, like how late is every body on Maya. Anyways any hopes and dreams of me being with her if I got that operation has been crushed by some dude named Benjamin Brewer from some random band The Exit and now she's knocked up. Im happy for her, not happy for my fantasies::sighs::
