New Years Re(vo)solution

I really don't believe in resolutions, they are full of empty promises. I always hope that the next year will be better than the last. Its really hard sometimes to stay optimistic and happy when nothing really pans out the way its supposed to. Im not going to sit here and say "Im going to do this, this, and that" Cause I prolly won't. I try to make goals everyday: Wake up, go to work, go home, repeat. Although this year I am trying this new optimistic mantra thing. When I get frustrated I just constantly in my head go "optimism, optimism, optimism" and think of how things could be worse. Let's see if this crock of crap works, I hope it does. I am physically, mentally and emotionally tired. 2011 has got to be better than this.

Youtube Hero: Phil Wade

Mr Wade met wide acclaim after a video was posted of him (hilariously)imitating R&B singer Trey Songz.

Since then, him and his team has not only posted other hilarious videos


but also highlighting himself as a talent. That is why Phil Wade, you are a Youtube hero. Toast!

Jammie of the day

I posted this video on facebook a few weeks ago but I just had to put it on the blog cause I loved it so much. This song was bought to my attention by a coworker of mine and he found this live vid. Cyndi Lauper covered this Prince song for her debut album and BOTH versions are awesemazeballs.

Slept on Cinema

If you know me, you know I am not a fan of animated movies, although I still want to see Toy Story 3, AND Princess and the Frog was pretty BAWSE but besides the point I really just dont do animated movies. I don't care how cool it looks, or how cute the story is, unless I have nowhere else to go and nothing else to do, I will not watch an animated movie. Well sunday morning I had nowhere else to go and nothing to do so I watched Up. First off it starts as a TOTAL DOWNER. Killing off the wife right off the top of the movie!? How Disney of you! Anyways to make a long story short the movie Up is one of the most touching movies I have watched ever. I was really into this movie, it was great. And the only reason I titled this "Slept on Cinema" was because I was the one who slept on this movie. Even if your not a fan of animated films this movie was freaking amazing, you should watch it. The end.

Jammie of the Day

Everyday whilst driving into work I listen to my iPod on shuffle and right before taking the exit ramp off the highway "Pusherman" by the late great Curtis Mayfield came on.

Besides admiring how amazing Mr. Mayfield I also started thinking about Camron's first album Confessions of Fire and (to me) the stand out track "D-Rugs" which samples "Pusherman"

So....there you go.

Bugz Blawg 2010 Highlights

The only difference between 2009 and 2010 is that nobody died on me, which is a good thing. Although nothing super fantastic has happened let's try to be optimistic here shall we? Anyways SOME cool stuff happened. This year has been a great year for music, my music purchases included: Kidz in the Hall Land of Make Believe, Gorillaz Plasic Beach, Deftones Diamond Eyes,M.I.A. Maya, Curren$y's Pilot Talk, Pilot Talk 2, Kanye West My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (check out my review) and N*E*R*D Nothing (check out that review too). And there were a lot more music that I wanted to get like Kid Cudi's new one, Janelle Monae and others, but you know, I'm broke. With all the great music that came out there were good concerts:
-I celebrated my 25th birthday with Kidz in the Hall and all the 10 people that showed up :-/
-About a week later, I spent the night with my future husband Mayer Hawthorne
-And in septemeber I got to live out my own teenage dream by finally seeing the Deftones!
Also this year I finally found a pumpkin patch to go to. Oh Yeah Pumpkin Patch Yeah!
This year I started putting together these mini mixtapes, something I hope to do more elaborately in the future, I'm tryna get my Cool DJ Red Alert/Funkmaster Flex/ Kid Capri on, but Hoodmetal style.
-Download BIU BBQ for a summer time feel (here)
-Download Plaza Roller Rink Class of '98-99 for some nostalgic skating jammies (here)
***Also***
-Download Popjaye [my little brother Tyrone's] song "Popularity 4 You" (here)
-AND get a head start for the holiday next year by downloading "Hoodmetal's Anti Xmas Song" (here)
So that's my year in a blog post. I am steadily working on my optimism, its hard when you feel like you deserve more than what's being dealt to you, but hey that's life no? So here's to hoping that 2011 will be a breakthrough year. I hope so cause apparently the world is going to end in 2012 *kanye shrug*

Cheeeeeeeese!

Let's discuss cheese products. I am currently at work munching on a bag off .99 crunch cheetos, then all of a sudden I had in inner debate with myself. I started thinking what cheese product is better? Cheetos or Cheez Doodles. Cheez Doodles hold a special place in my heart cause I grew up eating .25 bags of Cheez Doodles on the reg as a child in NYC, along with either a .50 soda (top pop pineapple flavored) or a "quarter water". Then moving down here to Virginia you can't really find Cheez Doodles anywhere unless you go to the really really hood spots, or the super redneck spots. For instance when I visit my Alma Mater Radford U I always stop at this one gas station before leaving town and load up on Cheez Doodles, this would be one of the super redneck spots, im not dissing them, they're lovely people, and they have Cheez Doodles yo! So since Cheez Doodles are hard to come by Cheetos is the move. So that brings us to the question. Which chesse product is the best? Cheetos or Cheez Doodles? *dun dun dun* Well here is my answer. BOTH. Puffy Cheetos are the biggidy business, crunchy Cheetos are iight. Crunchy Cheez Doodles is a super fun party in your mouth. Puffy Cheez Doodles is like chill movie night, still good, but you prefer the super fun party. So that's it, Puffy Cheetos and Crunchy Cheez Doodles, in the end we all win but your gums aren't too happy about it.
Let me know what you think.
