Qucikly for someone…I ain’t mad at cha.  Now onto the topic at hand.

Wow! I am utterly shocked at how good HD-DVD looks compared to DVD. My TV only does 720P and it is gorgeous. I may actually have to get a PS3 now so I can have a blu-ray player…fuck the games! I only own one movie thus far and that’s King Kong(which I hate by the way). And I only have it because it came with the player. DVD looks like VHS compared to HD-DVD. Can’t wait until all my movies get here.

That is all.

I’ve always been fascinated by the punk scene. But until now, I’ve never looked into it. Only thing punk I knew of was the Sex Pistols and The Ramones. It’s safe to say, I’m not a fan of punk after seeing this. Only band I sorta enjoyed, of what little I heard, was D.O.A. and Bad Brains. I totally respect the scene. Just not the music I’d ever be into. It was cool seeing Henry Rollins in the scene. Didn’t much dig Black Flag, but they didn’t show a whole lot of performance stuff. My favorite line from the movie was John Joseph going on a calm profanity laced tirade about todays “punk” scene…

“We looked forward to going on the road because at least we got hospitality and we got fed and we got to do shows and have a great time, but it wasn’t none of this shit, all these fucking, like, spoiled little fucking brats that are on MTV now with their fucking buses and all this bullshit and they’re calling that shit punk. That ain’t fucking punk.”

Bitter much? Though I feel the exact same way about most of the rap music of today.

Also didn’t know straight edge was popularized by the hardcore punk scene. Interesting, since my image of punk was drug addicted fools like those in the Sex Pistols. Anyway, I greatly enjoyed the DVD and highly recommend it.

Back in my hoodlum days, I listened to “gangsta rap” almost exclusively. Besides the obvious N.W.A., Ice-T, Ice Cube, The Wu and Geto Boys I had one not as well known favorite. A cat from the Bay. I know what your thinking, but you’re wrong. It’s not the one trick pony Too Short, or MC Eiht, or E-40. The king of the Bay in my eyes is easily Spice 1.

I bought, stole, acquired, borrowed, and/or downloaded his first CD I’d say at least 7 times due to it being stolen, acquired, borrowed, lost, and/or pawned. A side effect of hanging with other nefarious wannabe thugs and needing money for a 40 on the weekends.

His first cd is still one of my favorite rap albums EVER. His flow and the way he could change up his styles was just great. With that said, I have 2 tracks for today as I couldn’t choose just one. These are my two favorite songs, and both are off his first CD.

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this movie before. I think it was called Rush Hour. Plots are pretty much interchangeable. I picked out the bad guy as soon as he appeared on screen. They totally wasted the Triad plotline. This is the first movie I’ve seen where Jackie actually looked old. The big stunts were pretty ridiculous. Not Transporter 2 ridiculous, but it was pretty close. Overall, this movie should have never been made…twice. Best part of the movie, was the outtakes. I say skip this one, and just watch the original Rush Hour. You’ll get much more enjoyment out of it.

Watched the most recent episode of Celebrity Rehab and it was a really good, positive episode. Jeff Conaway is all kinds of fucked up. It’s pretty clear that his girlfriend/fiance clearly needs some form of help as well. Chyna is a mystery wrapped in an enigma(I love than line). She looks like a future suicide statistic. Something isn’t right with her, and she isn’t helping matters by being so defiant and stand-offish. I’m really liking Mary Carey. She seems like a genuinely nice person who took a wrong turn somewhere. Ditto on Shifty. He clearly loves the hell out of his son. Shame his wife didn’t come to the group meeting or dinner. I’m sure she’s been through hell though. Still should’ve been there to support the father of their child. Just my opinion. Bad move having the dinner in plain site of a fully stocked bar. Brigitte was having a really hard time with that. But again, the support got her through it.

Now this is great reality TV. Not that exploitive and gives a glimpse into the rehab process. Good show.

Side note: It’s kinda interesting that 4 of the women there have been in some kind of porn. 2 in the business, and 2 with sex tapes.

Strike is over, but other than Lost there’s nothing on TV still. Sooo, I’m still watching the fine programming on VH1. Not a bad episode. I don’t know any of their names but Daisy, and Kristy Jo. I picked Daisy to go all the way from the beginning though she’s far from the hottest chick on the show. She just seems like Bret’s type. The ending of this weeks ep really threw me for a loop…at first. I was like “No fuckin’ way!” Daisy was having a serious conniption fit as she thought she was going home. Classy move on Bret’s part to keep all the ladies this week, though that one blond bitch who stole two of the notes that biker chick wrote is just skanless. She needs to go. Anyway, that’s it. Another boring day.

He dominated the slam dunk contest. I told all ya’ll(Allen), he was the truth! He had three craaaaazy dunks. His Superman dunk had me rollin’! Just good shit all around.

As for the rest of the festivities…
Dwyane Wade’s a bitch. That was a sad, pathetic showing. Kapono is awesome. Never seen him play, might have to check ‘em out…but then I’d have to watch the Raptors. He can flat stroke it.

Best part of the show was EASILY Charles Barkley talking/commentating/rambling. He had me laughin’ so fuckin hard my jaws were starting to hurt. Good time’s, good time’s. “There is a titty out there!”

Again Kaba Modern and JabbaWockeeZ killed it. Wasn’t feeling Live In Color. BreakSk8 impressed once again. Iconic was much better this week. Unlike the judges, I liked Status Quo, though their end “stunt” was overly complicated and well…stupid. They got screwed with the Hammer dance. Fish and Chix was the weak link, but maybe it’s my utter hatred for Beyonce. Femme 5 was 100x better than last week…still don’t like ‘em.

Imo JabbaWockeeZ FTW!

Bought some shit. Mostly stuff to further cement my position as nerd extraordinaire. I bought two anime series. Outlaw Star and Vision of Escaflowne. I also have a framed cel from Outlaw Star. Continuing with the anime theme, I also bought a Vash the Stampede zippo. Also finally completed my Full Metal Alchemist series by buying the last 2 dvd’s in the series.

Bought a spiffy case for it from Paul Champagne. He makes custom DVD cases for movies, TV series, anime, and other stuff. For example, he made me a custom case for all my urban drama DVD’s. It holds Menace II Society, Boyz N the Hood, Juice, New Jack City, South Central, & Fresh. I also bought his Terminator, and Kurosawa case’s awhile back. The Kurosawa one holds Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, Sanjuro, and Hidden Fortress. I’m trying to get him to make one for the Zatoichi films now.

Continuing with my purchases of nerdocity, I also bought 4 graphic novels. Bought Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman: Endless Nights, Death: The High Cost of Living, and Death: The Time of Your Life. The fourth GN is a pre-order of The Killing Joke(hard cover) by Alan Moore.

To round out and finish off my purchases, I got Zatoichi the Blind Swordsman, Vol. 11 – Zatoichi and the
Doomed Man, and Lost: Season 3 on DVD…Allen already hijacked it.

Here’s pics of my Fulmetal Alchemist and Kurosawa cases.

Kansas went down today to number 11 Texas. They were HORRIBLE in the second half. Could not hit a jumper to save their lives. Chalmers was the only thing keeping us in it with his dribble penetration. Was just ugly. Rush needs to learn better shot selection. He just be throwing shit up.

That is all…I’m disgusted
