Stressed Out, stressed out
This song always helps me.
Wiggety Thursday..Say Somethin!
I’ve got a lot on my plate, I was late again, but better late than never.
Valets
I went to a party this weekend, and some valet smashed the hell out of my %&^*(&^% rear fender! What the hell?! Yeah, they’re gonna take care of it, but he had to park it in an open lot, two blocks away. How do you manage to mangle a truck in, say, two minutes? It’s gonna cost me, ahem, them, about 1200 bucks to fix it. I’d put pics up but every time I see it anger wells up inside of me, and I don’t want that to happen again….
Woosa.
I’m good now. Let’s move on.
Rapper Endorsements
Remember when rapper endorsement deals were fresh, and few and far between? The sprite commercials, some Nike stuff here and there? Nothing too annoying, and they picked raw emcees to do it too. Such is no longer the case. Hurricane Chris for the Garbage Prada lookalike shoe, The Game for 310, Mike Jones and Reebok (thought it’s funny his shoe never launched) Slim Fast even wants Eminem to endorse their stuff! GTHOH. What Next? Jim Jones for Dial Soap? Hell Rell for Crest? Soulja Boy for Leapfrog Learning toys? Don’t laugh too long, they could all happen.
US Soccer
Yeah, we qualified for the next round of the Beijing qualifiers. And yes, we have a lot of young talent. But we can’t put it together for one stream of matches. We’ve cycled through coaches, and players for the past six years, and even had a number 4 ranking before the Cup two years ago. And we all saw where that landed us. It sucks not having a leg to stand on when you friends from the UK or Italy talk about their national teams, and you can only say “Look out for Jozy Altidore.”
Politics
I Love this country, but has someone ever said anything, any single thing so rude, uninformed, or plain dumb that you wanted stomp a mudhole in said individual? Politics seems to be a common catalyst for such comments. If you want an excuse to beat someone until their white meat shows, as them how they feel about the sub-prime lending scandal, and let the adrenaline flow.
Music Critics
In general, I can count on three people whose opinions I trust in terms of music. That’s Three out of nearly infinity album reviewers and show critics. Nobody cares what your blog has to say about an album track by track. If you don’t like it and don’t want us to buy it or support the act, that’s all you have to say. Just because he’s been around the world and you can’t save enough to go to Epcot, don’t throw shade at that man’s livelihood.

Obligatory Jordan XXIII Post
Hi. Since nearly every other e-mail i receive asks me how i feel about the new Jays, I will tell you.
They’re pretty cool.
Would I rock them anywhere but the ball court? No. I think people are so mad about Jays “falling off”, when they really haven’t. They are basketball shoes first and foremost, and always have been. It just so happens that Jordan Brand remembered that, and began to put more emphasis on their function rather than their freshness. That being said, I enjoy the fact that JB decided to go “considered” with some of the ways the shoe was made. The lack of much adhesive was a really great thing to do.If you’re like me, and the way the kick is made factors into your choices at all, then you should cop these. If you’re just a Jay head who grew up on the best models like I did and want them to come out with something that recaptures the def years of old, don’t hold your breath, it won’t happen.
