Jammie of the day

First off Happy New Year *fart noise*. Today's Jammie has a special place in my heart. This song was a part of the first group of rock songs that I fell in love with as a kid. At this time I was living in the Bronx (New York City, for those of you that for some reason don't know where that is) and I just all of a sudden fell in love with all of this rock music. Metallica's "Until it Sleeps" Soundgarden "Pretty Noose" Hole "Malibu" and this one Superdrag "Sucked Out". Not only does this represent a turning point in my life musically but also the height of MTV. You know where they actually played music videos, man what a concept. A user by the name of "PossumVerde" said it best as a comment on Youtube: "Ah... the good old days... when you could smoke in a video... and a pack of cigarettes was under $2. Great song and great band.. I remember staying up late in high school to watch 120 minutes... now you can't even see 120 minutes worth of music on MTV in an entire week..." Dang man aint that the truth.

Because the last post was so Emo, I needed a pick me up. It worked.

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.
