Obsessions Are Healthy

A new season of Ice Road Truckers is on now and I couldnt be much happier. I don't know how I started watching this show some odd years ago but I watched one episode and couldnt get enough. Some people may not like the idea of a show about truckers but this show fascinates me! Basically if you have never watched the show its about truckers in Alaska and Canada near the Arctic Circle, you know, where Santa lives! And the absolute brutal winters where oil companies and small villages solely depend on them to deliver goods. These truckers have to drive on roads completely covered in ice (hence the name of the show, duh) and also frequently have to travel across frozen rivers of thin ice. Amazing! Its not only the terrain that makes the show but the interesting truckers that makes this show great. My personal faves are Hugh "The Polar Bear" and Lisa Kelly who was until this season the only female driver featured, and that chick is a beast on the road. Next time you see it pop up on your tv guide and you have nothing else betta to do, give it a watch.

Rest In Processors Acer

You were bought at a Best Buy in Roanoke, you became my best friend. Anywhere I'd go I'd take you with me. Even when I stepped on you in a sleeping stupper, broke your screen and thought i'd never be with you again, I found an external display monitor and we were close again. Although not as close as we once were. I felt you slipping away from me. And one morning I turn to you and your hard drive crashed, so did my heart. I will miss you Ace. I wonder if heaven has an internet cafe. One day or one year when I get enough money I will bring you back to life, new screen, repaired hard drive and all. But for now I must let you go. Until we compute again...

And also since my laptop with all my music on it deceased the BIU BBQ Mixtape Vol 2 is on hold till further notice...obviously.

ABDC Season 6 Finale!

Alright first off sorry for not blogging lately, I'll try to explain in a later post. The season 6 finale of ABDC was last night and I have to say it was the best season finale yet! Not because of Iconic Boyz and I aM mE but because ALL of the winning crews came back! Let's just get this out of the way...hooray I aM mE, but were you surprised? No. They deserved it, moving on. They season 1-5 champions performed starting with Poreotix, their performance was cute. We Are Heroes, their performance was nice. Quest crew (without D-Trix, I was not aware that he is not actively part of the crew anymore *insert sad face here*) their performance was Awesome, that back breaking move? Yikes! Then Super Cr3w performed, their performance was hot, I think hands down Super Cr3w were the hottest dudes on the show period. Followed by the dudes in Supreme Soul then the dudes in ummmm oh yeah Phunk Phenomenon. Then ladies and gentle Jabbawockeez came out and showed all 'em why THEY are the best crew EVER! Ok that's all gotta go. Want to see the full epi go to mtv.com. Boom.

Coming Soon...

Last year I've decided to make a mixtape by the name of BIU BBQ, Basically its like a kick off to the summer/cookout season. Even though I am a social hermit and never got to enjoy the mixtape in a public outing I hope some of you will partake. This year I've decided to do the same. BIU BBQ Mixtape Vol 2 coming soon, hopefully just in time for Memorial Day. What will I be doing this Memorial Day Holiday? 1. Pouring out some figurative Arbor Mist for our brothers and sisters in the Armed Forces and 2. Doing what all the cool kids do...work (womp, womp) for now check out BIU BBQ the original here

Thoughts/Suggestions for the Rapture

According to hardcore Christians Evangeloonies, tomorrow May 21 2011 is the end of the world/judgement day/the rapture. Apparently this date is in the Bible. I do not know the Bible, I grew up Episcopalian and when I was young I took Saturday Bible classes so I could achieve Communion but got kicked out cause I asked too many questions. Go figure. But I have to be honest when I say I am a little scared when it comes to things like this. Sure my life stinks now but I don't want the world to end living a sucky life. I want to appreciate it with my family before it ends. I don't want to be at work like a dufus. So I ask to the Heavens above, can you wait till I get a better job and a boyfriend before the skies open up and take us to our next destination? If you don't mind of course, im not trying to be pushy, don't hurt me. But here are some thoughts and suggestions I have for the "rapture"
-Listen to Anita Baker's classic album Rapture during the Rapture.



-If the Zombie Apocolypse was to happen, my dad is buried down the street from where we live, would I have to beat him up, cause that's just plain awkward and wrong.

-Listen to the band The Rapture during the The Rapture.

The Rapture - "Get Myself Into It" from ben dickinson on Vimeo.

-Listen to Blondie's "Rapture" during the Rapture.


-So if Bin Laden had gotten his 72 virgins, I hope Macho Man Randy Savage gets 72 unopened Slim Jim's. I want my 72 heavenly pleasures broken down like this: 30 Shia Labeouf's, 15 Rick Gonzalez', 5 Channing Tatums circa Coach Carter, Step Up days, 2 Kanye West's, and 20 Donald Glover's.

Happy Rapturing everyone!

ABDC Season 6 Episode 7

We are down to 4 crews now and this week was the Nicki Minaj challenge. So Nicki Minaj, her butt and the voices in her head came down to the ABDC set to deliver dumb challenges to the crews. First off before we get to breaking down the crews, that opening number? Sick.
I aM mE: although this was not my favorite performance of theirs this crew delivers everytime and we all know they're going to win so let's just hand them the little weird poorly made bboy trophy now please!

Iconic Boyz: I actually really liked this performance, I am increasingly impressed by how clean and precise these boy(z) are. In about 10 years holla at me T-Money (no pedo)

Phunk Phenomenon: They were in the bottom this week. I've said this before and I'm saying it again, there are some hot azz dudes in this crew, but I just.dont.like.them. I just don't. But the dudes are hot. The routine was okay, I think they had way too many things going on at once.

Street Kingdom: SK was in the bottom this week as well which im not surprised about. I totally agree with the judges critique of the routine took too long to start, but when it did, it was fantastic. Every time they step on the stage they bring such power and intensity and they give their all every single week. Its absolutely inspiring.

So Street Kingdom got sent home this week. I do NOT agree with this decision, Phunk Phenomenon should have went home, I don't get the judges fascination with this crew I just don't. Next week...eh who cares about next week, just give I aM mE their trophy and let's wrap this biotch up. Here's the full episode.

Many many years ago when I was young optimistic college student, my Mu Phi Epsilon brother and sisters went to a place in Roanoke called "The Park". Not only was the Park the first club I had ever been to, it also happened to be a gay club (which is why gay clubs are the only ones I go to now, way better than the heteros) so we're all there having a good time and in the middle of the club among groups of dancing patrons underneath strobe lights we see a man. A very large man, very unabashedly snorting cocaine smack dab in the middle of the club. Now at first he tried to be coy about it but how coy can a 7 foot black dude be snorting cocaine in the middle of the club!? Anyways this experience inspired Ryan and I to create an opus of simplistic and epic proportions. This song is timeless, it was number 1 in Berlin for 2 weeks, and just a few minutes I "remastered" it. Hopefully one day Ryan and I can make a video for this song. Enjoy!
