Quick Digs
So here's my 2 pennies on some news stories of the week.
Swine Flu: I think its a conspiracy to get our minds off of Susan Boyle, but that's just me. I mean I dont know how to feel about it. I feel sorry for those who've been diagnosed and those who have passed from it, that sucks. It's just one of those things for me of if I dont know anyone with it, or have it myself, I dont care. The media continues to instill fear in people and I dont know why. Everyone is already on the edge as it is.
Air Force 1 scaring the poop out of people: This whole thing was just really poor judgement on (fill in blank here)'s part. I mean having low flying planes around the NY skyline, really? For something like that why wouldnt the public be notified about it. Its not like they are going ruining the shot, getting their homies together and posting up against the plane in a bboy stance when its flying in the friggin sky. What the H does the Air Force One have anything to do with the NY skyline? Maybe they were trying to get a shot of the statue of liberty.It was just a bad call.
Obama's fist 100 days: So every one is giving their critique of President's Obama's first 100 days. I think it is unfair to asses any president after only 100 days in office. I dont know what magical acts people are expecting. I've said it once and I'll say it again, its going to take time people.
Some old republican dude now turning democrat: I think its going to be an eye opener (hopefully) to see that a person who has been in the house for x amount of years and been a republican for x amount of years is now switching. Im quite sure its strategic seeing that the dems are the house majority at the moment. I also believe he is genuinly sick of what the republican party has become. I view the rep. party as like school yard bullies with money, but im not going to get into all of that cause well, im lazy.
And im done.

Love the Future chickenheads!
So after listening to the album all week, I feel I can give a coherent and vague review of Chester French's Love the Future. So for some guys who were eagerly embraced by hip-hop giants such as Jermaine Dupri, Kanye, Pharrell and so on, this album is decidedly NOT hip-hop and that's fine. This album is 100% delicious pop with catchy hooks and vibrant songs. Other's have called it Beach Boys meets the Beastie Boys and other obligatory comparisons. From listening to the songs I do get a bit of the Beach Boy stuff as well as a resemblance to the Beatles. But unlike *cough Panic at the Disco cough* Chester French is not trying to be anyone but themselves. I could go through every song and try to describe it for you but 1)I'm a lazy blogger and 2) it's not something that can be told, only experienced. My favorite song on the album would be "Not Over You" its the jammie. I am also severely impressed by these guys' marketing ambition. They are signed to Startrak which is a label with an AMAZING line up of great artist (N*E*R*D, Kenna, the Clipse, Fam-lay, Robin Thicke etc.) they plain suck when it comes to promoting and thus supporting the artist when it comes to their releases. It seems that Chester French took it their own hands and hit up street wear boutiques throughout the country to perform acoustic sets and use like every social network out there to court their fans. Brava to them for that. So I would suggest you check out this album, it's going to be perfect for this upcoming season.
Obsessions are healthy
So this weekend I rented some movies cause since I have like this membership thing at Hollywood video I can take out up to 3 movies at a time for as long as I want for $25 a month, I figure, not too bad. So last week I rented Milk and Zack and Miri Make A Porno, I thoroughly enjoyed them both. This week I rented Pinapple Express (which ive seen before) and The Wackness which ive heard a lot about. Which brings me to this week's obsession...
Yeah Josh Peck, yeah the "chubby kid" from Drake and Josh. I mean all the girlies were gawking over Drake, I've always been a Josh girl. Also he's grown up to be frigin hawt. And in The Wackness he is too cute. The movie takes place in the summer of '94 the year that hip-hop was at its absolute finest, like hip-hop climaxed in '94. Josh plays the character Luke Shapiro and recent high school graduate who smokes and sells pot to help his family from getting evicted, befriends his client whom is a psychiatrist but whacked out of his own mind and falls for the psychiatrist's step-daughter. Its a cool movie, you should check it out. Anyways yeah Josh it too cute. The end.
