Confessional

When I moved to Virginia in the summer of '96 my mother brother and I lived with my Godsister Pilar and her daughter Asha whom is also my godsister not only cause Pilar is my goddsister but becuase my mother is her godmother, did you get all that? Good. Anyways we lived in these townhomes (I think the name of it was Victoria sq. I cant believe I dont remember the name of em, moving on) And that complex was next to this apartment complex by the name of Langley Sq. All the kids that I went to school with (Lindsay Middle what up!) lived in that complex. I made a number of friends whom lived there and frequented in those parts. But the thing we used to do was go to the Kmart down the street. It was like we were too young to go to the mall and to old to play at the playground so Kmart was the next best thing. This brings me to my confession. Whilst in middle school and living in that area and going to Kmart...I used to steal Lisa Frank Products. Lisa Frank was the shiz back then so dont front. Till this day I get excited when I see a Lisa Frank holographic notebook! I mean it didnt get so bad or out of hand, I wasnt a bad kid. I just used to steal pens, pencils, stickers, small notebooks. Come to think of it in my whole existence this is probably the worst thing ive done. Well it was that one time in high school I stole a wristband from Hot Topic which I inevitably lost, go figure. I had a lot of fun in middle school. Hopping from Langley Square to Sinclair Gardens (which got torn down a number of years ago and is now host to really nice houses and senior citizens community where my grandmother lives.) Going to the Tyler elementary after school program where I was part of the double dutch club and my friends and I would take the short cut through a farm and step in tons of sh!t. Man those were the days...

This is my confession

So I open this post with the requisite "sorry i havent posted ive been busy, I have two jobs, yadda yadda yadda" but its the truth, moving on. So on my travels to work the iPod is on shuffleage and it definitely gives you some time to hear songs you forgot was on there. The other day on the ride home from williamsburg this song came on.

Yes. Insane Clown Posse's "Another Love Song". Which leads me to my confession. For about a good year and a half while in high school, I was a...*wait for it* a Juggalette, yep I was. I was fully into ICP, bumped the Jekyll Brothers CD and thoroughly enjoyed their foray into cinema Big Money Hustlas. I dont really know what happened to make me fall out of the Juggalo phase. Wait I know what happened...I grew up. Anyways I do look back at that phase and chuckle. It also reminds me of one of my HS BFF's Justene whom last I saw her (about 3-4 years ago now wow!)she was not only still into ICP but the whole Psychopathic Records movement. Wherever you are girlie, hope you and the seed are doing well.

I guess they were no longer a burden in each other's hands *golf claps*

Like my joke huh? huh? Anyways dude I just read some of the best news ever. My favorite favorite 'grunge' band Soundgarden is getting back together!!! Chris Cornell reporteldly made the annoucement via his twitter and also providing a link to the new band website. Now although this is very exciting news for me this whole situation could be REALLY good or REALLY bad like Van Halen with David Lee Roth and Sammy Haggar together bad. I dont know we would have to wait and see. Get the full scoop over at Pitchfork

On to the Next Conspiracy theory

Jay Hov has people really going nutzo over his new video for "On to the Next One"(the comments over at Miss Info's site is oddly insightful but ridiculous). I guess for some time people believed Jay Z was a satan worshipper? Now all these Illumanati and Freemasonry theories. I really dont have the mental capacity, or care in the world to look up these thingy's. Yes the imagery in this video does bring up questions but honestly and taking a lazy blogger's approach I dont care. Is Jay Z worshipping the devil, who cares, does he believe in the occult? Who cares. On December 21 2012 is he going to morph into a robot like MJ in Moonwalker and tell us the end is here? Probably not, but that would awesome. At the end of the day I personally like the look of the video, its different, its artistic, the song isnt too bad either, repetitive yes, but if it came on in a club will I dance to it? Yes. Ill dance throwing up the devil horns and stealing the nearest girls lipstick and writing triple 6's across my forehead. On to the next one.

Oh Yeah Happy New Year

Yeah I know its Jan 2 shut up! Well what did I do for New Year's? I woke up and got ready for work, yay me. But its 2010 and Im ready to get this year started. As you know last year was not a good one and I am highly optimistic about this one. I am *still* looking for another job. In fact a few days before xmas I got a job 'assignment' from the temp agency that I joined a while ago. Its for a specified education center at the college of william and mary doing office stuff. I was there for the 2 days before xmas and much to my surprise I actually enjoyed. I enjoy doing stuff, you know like busy work so your not counting every single second and being a secretary I guess, who woulda knew? I think I enjoy the fact thats its a 'regular' job being the hours are 8:30-4:30 M-F. Its in Willimasburg which is on the Peninsula which means I dont have to go through a bridge and a tunnel everyday. Im quite sure the pay is good as of right now im getting paid .28 cents more there as a temp than I do at the radio job. I hope that this works out for me and the powers that be see me fit for this posish. Only time will tell, hurry up and wait. Only bad thing is for now im working 2 jobs radio from 1a-6a then the temp job 8:30a-4:30p which leaves not a lot of time for sleep in between jobs so, yeah that sucks. I will grit and bear it for a while. So yeah new year, new attitude, I need some new hair, Ill work on that. So here's to you 2010, dont f*ck this up!

Song of the Day

Today's song come from a kid by the name of Mike Posner he is a musician who attends or attended Duke University and I guess he's a big college circuit artist, I came across this song a while ago(the version w/ Wale) via Miss Info's site and I just love this song for some reason, recently they came out with a video for "Drug Dealer Girl" feat Rosa Acosta the chick that came to fame by displaying her streching abilities on youtube...well good for her, she was also in Drake's "Best I Ever Had". Anyways yeah here you go.

Make. Me. Happy.

Sorry for the long pause in posting but you should expect this from me by now! Quality. Anyways Ive been unmotivated this has been the worst month ever blah blah blah wahh wahh wahh yadda yadda yadda. Needless to say the holiday spirit is not abundant in me, but I hope your having a good time! Whenever im feeling down there are a number of songs that make me incredibly happy for some reason or another and I have decided to share these premium cuts with you in hopes you will be entertained. ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED! Ha sorry had to do that....
Up first would have to be the song that makes me the happiest. I dont know why its incredibly bad, its so bad, it might be the most amazing song I ever heard in my life! Joe Jackson (not mad real mad Joe Jackson, but the white JJ from across the pond)with "Steppin Out" break out your tophats!


The next song also makes me incredibly happy this is 1:41 of pure punk goodness The Misfits "Hybrid Moments"


Lastly the other day I was coming home from work and I got snagged in some good ol HRBT traffic as I began to pump my brakes this song came on shuffle and I immediately smiled, nodded and quietly whispered YES. It's such a good and infectious song how can you not? This is MJ with the title track from the album Off The Wall.


Honorable Mention: I watch MTV Jams a lot cause although they play a lot of the same videos they do reach in the vault and break out some tasty jams. Jams like Queen Latifah's "Just Another Day". This song takes me back to being a youth growing up in NYC during the summer time, to me NYC is at its best in the summertime the vibe of the city to me is beautiful, thats the only time I miss New York is in the summer any other time can kick rocks son.


PS ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!!!
