Holiday Spirit

With no longer being an adolescent plus having no money plus losing a parent, holidays are not the same. Very few things get me excited about the holidays. To me it has just become just another day in a long line of days which seems like the same day over and over again. I know dude downer. But this makes me very happy. It gives me that cozy warm feeling on the inside. ChestNUTS roasting...

Deep Thought.

-Facebook should have more options for the "relationship status". Mine says single. To me having my relationship status say single is a bit of understatement. The status of single applies that either a) you've been in a relationship before and your just not in one now and b)your out on the scene meeting and dating people, and for me neither of those are true. They should have more choices like "Nun" "Monk" "Asexual" "B!tch Please!" or "Don't even bother" now THAT is a status.

New Things That I Love

The new thing that I love is also more than likely the title of my future auto-biography. Sundance channel now has a new show titled "Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys". A show depicting the relationships between heterosexual women and the gay men in their lives. I think its a cute show, well of course I would.But this show is more realistic and less "queeny" than say "A List: New York" (which I also loved) BTW I will no longer be calling myself a "fag hag" it sounds a bit harsh. I will now be referring myself as a "House Mother" just call me House Mother Jones from the House of Tarjay.

Major Jammie of the Day

In vein of the last post how about some throwback Kanye for Jammie of the day. This right here is "We Major" my favorite track from Late Registration this joint is pretty epic.

...Yeezy Taught Me...

Over the past two weeks I have intensely and repeatedly listened to Kanye's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and here is my take on it.
I have always had a love/hate with Kanye (as have a lot of people). I always respected his music and his vision but his attitude was always so off putting to me. My feelings changed for him however around the time 808s and Heartbreak came out. This had a lot to do with a change in his demeanor due to the tragic passing of his mother and him becoming more of a humble human being. Also the fact that I LOVED 808s because it was more than just rappity-rap. To clarify I am a hip hop head and always will be but I do love me some melodies. Anyways now getting to MBDTF. I do not get excited by music much these days but I was heavily anticipating this album. I have not been this excited about a record since Kid Cudi's Man On the Moon... album last year. And although more than half of the album have been floating around the internets for the better half of this year thanks to G.O.O.D. fridays and some good ol album leakage, this album did not disappoint. This album is the culmination of all Kanye's albums. It has the sped up sample straight hip hop vibe of College Dropout, the orchestration of Late Registration, the meticulous and grandiose production of Graduation, and the emotion of 808. All that packed into 13 songs with out sounding forced or getting boring. MBDTF (also known as my really obnoxiously long album title but i can get away with it cause this album is effing amazing) has the rare no skippage where you can start from "Dark Fantasy" and not stop until the last drum beat in "Who Will Survive In America". You can listen to individual album cuts but the record as a whole just melts from one track to another, the sequencing in my opinion is excellent. My favorite track has to be "Hell of A Life" and "Lost in the World" is seriously one of the best songs of all time. ALL TIME! It's emotional, its urgent but its also a bit jubilant. Conflicting emotions for the last song on the album which kind of feels like a cliffhanger or a deceptive cadence but it really is masterfully crafted song (although I have a bone to pick with the additional drums added to the final mix :-/) I guess what I'm trying to say is this album is quite the masterpiece and Kanye worked his tail off to make sure it was so. And for someone to truly put their all into something because they truly care for the music, how could you not love that!?

Pic of the Day

This picture was taken during my weekend in and around DC for the Restore Sanity/Fear March. In this picture is the lovely LEY, that fantastically awesome Sara and some random asian tourist who jumped in the picture. Just kidding! It's LEY's love slave Paul. I was joking the whole day that we looked like the Eracists. Look for yourselves.

Kiss My Converse

**First off hey, how YOU doin? I havent blogged in a bit, really didnt feel like it, its like that sometimes. Happy december. On with the blog post**
Randomly a few moments ago I thought "What happened to the supposed remake of Barry Gordy's The Last Dragon" well after a little bit of digging, and I do mean a little, I have not found anything. But I would like to share on who I think should be cast in the movie:
Leroy Green: Originally played by Taimak I think Leroy should be Chris Brown, I am not the only one, RZA has also stated that Chris would make a good Leroy. I also think Taylor Lautner would make a good Leroy too, sure Taylor is not black but Taimak was kinda racially ambiguous as I feel like Taylor is.




Laura Charles: Laura the host of the video dancing show "7th Heaven" was orginally played by former "nasty girl" Vanity. I think this role should go sort of a singer-sort of an actress-kinda model-diddy's china doll Cassie. Some people are saying the role should go to Rihanna, I vote no. Especially since it seems Chris is a shoe in for Leroy, that's just awkward.


Shonuff the Shogun of Harlem: The role of Shonuff was masterfully portrayed by Julius Carry (RIP) and Samuel L Jackson has already been confirmed to play Shonuff. THIS IS BRILLIANT! I could not have cast this part better myself! Although Busta Rhymes would have a genius fit as well as he displayed in his "Dangerous" video.



Eddie Arkadian: Eddie Arkadian was the bad guy who had a lot of money from peddling arcade gear and just wanted to put his girlfriend on the billboard charts...it didnt work. Originally played by some dude named Christopher Murney, I think Danny Devito would fit the bill and build of this character.


Angela Virraco: Angela was Eddie's girl, sweet and naive all she wanted was to be a pop star. This was played by Faith Prince, for this role, I dont know...maybe...Lady Gaga? Or prolly Kellie Pickler?




All the other parts are minor roles and can be filled with whomever. I really do hope this film is made soon. I wonder which one will come first. The remake of this movie or Dr Dre's "Detox" its almost like asking how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop. The world may never know.
