Somewhat of a follow up to me being a Rock Band God, my cuz Allen will be excited to hear Rush’s album Moving Pictures will soon be coming to Rock Band. Me, not so excited. The song YYZ will be frustratingly boring to me and I’m just not a huge Rush fan to begin with. In bad news, my mic has a short in it…noooooooo!

Breathe Jamaal, breathe. Ok, moving on. Been watching a lot of Olympics coverage and Usain Bolt of Jamaica is ridiculously fast. That fucker can fly. Won gold easily in the 100 and 200m and broke the world record in both. He won the 200 by like 5 body lengths. It was crazy to see. I’d be embarrassed to come in 2nd.

I watched the woman’s soccer gold medal match this morning and Marta of Brazil has got to be the best woman’s soccer player by far. She was beating double and triple teams consistently all game. So talented. Of course all that talent goes for naught as the U.S. women won in overtime to defend their gold medal from the 2004 games.

That’s really it as far as standout performances. The “Redeem Team” is looking very good but I’ll hold judgment until it’s all over.

I also was shocked to see WALKING is a fuckin’ Olympic sport. Fuckin’ Walking. They was talking about the “competitors” last night and one of the announcers actually said, and I’m paraphrasing “The Russians look really strong. They’ve been walking very well this year.” Are you fuckin’ kidding me!? Really, they’ve been walking well this year? Ridiculous.

In positive news, Tre’ is a fan of Fullmetal Alchemist(my 3rd favorite anime). Which shocked me as there isn’t a whole lot of action. Though it deals a lot with death and morality issues and trying to explain a lot of the things going on to a 5 year old is damn near impossible.

In vacation news, I’m still not looking forward to it. Though it got a little better as we’ll probably take a day trip to Vegas. Little over a 2 hour drive from where we’re staying. Likely check out a couple shows. I’m thinking Blue Man Group. Not big into gambling. Seems like a huge waste of money and time to me.

One last small note.  R.I.P. to Julius Carry III better known to most as Sho Nuff from the movie The Last Dragon.  One of my favorite/fun movies of all time.  Now bow down and kiss his converse!  Rough week for us black folk.  First Bernie Mac, then Isaac Hayes, now Julius Carry III.

And I’m out!
