Philosophyin'

And now another word from Sir Carter Jr
"Now I know she da law, and she know I'm da boss, and she know I can hide a-bove the law, and she know I'm raw, she know I'm from da streets, and all she want me to do, is f@#k the police, talkin bout, wee oh wee oh wee oh wee... like a cop car."

Fog

Fog is a cloud bank that is in contact with the ground. Fog is usually the only clouds that touch the ground and it only differs slightly from other clouds in that it touches the surface of the Earth. The same cloud that is not fog on lower ground may be fog where it contacts higher ground such as hilltops or mountain ridges. Fog is distinct from mist only in its density. Fog is defined as a cloud which reduces visibility to less than 1 km, whereas mist is that which reduces visibility to more than 2 km.
So on my way to work this morning around 12:20am it was incredibly foggy. The visibility was extremely low to the point where you did not see road signs till you were up on them. It was freaky. At the same time it fascinated me. The whole time I was thinking "Wow I'm driving in a cloud right now." I don't know the child in me is fascinated by things like this, the fact you are in a cloud, just, I don't know I think its cool. I went outside of the building I work in at appox 3:20am and took a picture of some of the downtown norfolk skyline:



And here it is again an hour later:



Where did the fog go? I wish I could have seen go up or something, that would have been cool, oh well.

Toasty

So if you are an old school gamer like myself and you played Mortal Kombat (or watched your uncles play it) then you may remember in MK II in the forest stage there would be some random guy pop out from a tree and say "toasty". No you were not trippin on glue there was a guy actually doing that. His name is Dan 'Toasty' Forden and he worked on developing the game and I guess it was an inside joke that made it into the game. It did not only make it into the game oh no. It made it into the hearts of millions of lazy children raised by Power Ranger's Super NES and SEGA 16-bit. I salute you Dan!

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.

Jungle (crackhead) Fever.

So I stumbled upon Jungle Fever about halfway through yesterday. For those that don't know about Jungle Fever the movie, first, go to the corner, sit indian style facing me, and listen. It is a Spike Lee Joint (so you know its kinda wacked out)and about a black dude played Wesley "taxes what taxes?" Snipes having an extramarital and interacial affair with an italian woman and the craziness that ensues. A side story is Wesley's brother played expertly by Samuel L "snakes on a plane" Jackson is a crackhead. So the clip I will post at the end is titled "Gator's last dance" where..well you'll have to see it for yourself. Anyways, nowadays I don't think the content of Jungle Fever is so adamant today, at least i'd like to think so. Sure some people have the thoughts in their heads and conversations in their living rooms amongst their peers that took place in the movie, but speaking and acting out on interracial dating is so old. I mean come on already it's 2-00-9. Or maybe I am naive and interracial coupling still bother people, either way, sorry for ya, get over it, we're all the same color on the inside (eww but true). Alright enough with me trying to sound intelligent here is the clip that Sammy should have gotten an Oscar for.


PS: Stevie Wonder did the whole soundtrack and many of his songs were used throughout the movie brilliantly in my opinion, check out the song "Feeding off the Love of the Land" performed by Stevie, one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.
