Tuesday, June 21, 2005viva la poolhouseSo I went to Vegas this last weekend and managed to get surprisingly few good pictures. The trip started at good ol' Whiskey Petes. I managed to put away a whole 6 dollar prime rib at 1:30 am, not because I really wanted to, but because I had to. The eating was necessary to prepare for a stealth duece dropping in Jodie and Scott's room, if at all possible. Alas, I did not get that opportunity during the trip, but its always nice to know you were prepared. The next day on the way from state line to Vegas we stopped at the "Gold Strike" and had quite possibly the worst buffet on the face of the planet. It was so unbelievably random as well, featuring pot-stickers, shepards pie, hamburger patties soaking in liquid grease and cabbage rolls covered in what looked like marinara. Needless to say, I was looking to get that out of my system as soon as possible. On the way out from the casino, we saw an old gold miner and so I stopped to help him strike it rich. When we finally got to Vegas, Curtis came correct and gave us the proper accessories for Vegas blinging, an exact replica (which he made by hand) of the Rick James ring from the Chappelle Show. His hard work was not in vain, because shortly after the rings were distributed Jahida got out of line and Joel had to check her ass. That night we went out Downtown and drank, gambled and blue balled it. Its amazing how long one can play Pai Gow without losing money. Probably my new favorite casino game. The next night we went out to Pure, a newer club at Caesars. You know I couldn't go out like a punk, I had to keep it real and represent the streets. Ladies were jocking of course, but if they got too fresh I'd have to pop the collar and shake em off the sack. Of course, after all that pimping I was a bit tired so I had to return to my more laid back country roots. Anyway, it was a fun trip, although nothing too ridiculous really happened. Sorry for the less than interesting tale. Hope you had a good weekend... posted @ 12:12 AM PDT [link] [No Comments] Thursday, June 9, 2005b-a-n-a-n-a-sWe've come a long way from the people selling wares with sandwich boards and the midgets in novelty costumes outside of stores. The era of the sign twirler is in full effect. I thought I had seen some fly tricks in my day, but the twirlers claimin' Genessee and La Jolla Village are goin buck wild son. I today, no joke, saw a guy on his back spinning the sign with his feet. In related news, I bought a condo today. Ok, well, not really. But if anything could get me to spend 300k on a one bedroom dwelling, it would be that amazing street performer. Hats off (and pants down). posted @ 09:16 PM PDT [link] [1 Comment] Friday, June 3, 2005i need a hobbyI almost crashed my car today laughing about that line from Dave Chappelle. I finally got over my laziness and extracted it from the dvd. Here it is for your listening pleasure. Thank you breast milk, you made my day. posted @ 12:08 AM PDT [link] [4 Comments] Thursday, June 2, 2005shadys back...tell some menSo I just spent a good 10 minutes looking around the internet for a clip of Dave Chappelle clinking milk bottles together and cooing "brrreeeeaaaasssst milk, yoooou maaaade myyyyy daaaayy" and gosh darn it, its nowhere to be found. Thats the funny thing about the internet is that 10 years ago all you could find was little wav clips of things floating around. No one had mp3's or full movies to download and everyone just had 2 second random clips from movies like John Travolta saying "You can buy a beer at McDonalds" or Homer Simpson saying "Stupid Flanders". And there wasn't really much IM'ing going on back then, so you'd set the sound clip to launch on start up or shut down. Which was cool, but then when IM'ing became popular it was kind of annoying to hear your roommates computer say "That'll do, pig" everytime they get a stinking message. But I'm not bitter. Anyway, its just kind of funny that I could easily download the entire season of Dave Chappelle complete with DVD quality video but I can't just get the two second breast milk clip any more. I feel like a small regression has taken place. Anyway, just finishing up listening to the new Coldplay album for the second time. Its pretty good, but I'm not particularly blown away by it. Thats pretty much how I've felt about all Coldplay stuff though. I'll listen to it a couple times, shelve it, then come back to it when the third single hits the radio and I'll get super into it. Man, I'm far too lazy to rip that damn breast milk clip, but I really want it for a road trip cd. I feel as though good roadtrip mixtapes usually incorporate at least some of the following: a) Random pop culture audio clip...good opener sometimes, though not so good anywhere else b) An Instrumental, good towards the middle if its a constant, better as an opener if its a slow builder....actually scrap this. This is a lousy idea for a roadtrip mixtape, although good on most others. c) A short (2 minutes or less) extreme song, at about track 4 or so (good example "Fell in love with a girl - White Stripes"). d) The most overplayed commercial pop song at the time, towards the last third. Anyway, I'm going to go to sleep now, hit me up with some good track ideas. posted @ 01:12 AM PDT [link] [5 Comments] |
