Captivating

I am obsessed with "freerunning". For everyone who doesnt know what that is, its probably one of the most amazing recreational activities on the planet. combining gymnastics, martial arts and cross-country these guys (havent seen any women yet) jump climb flip and run through cities. Me and my homie Cory gave it a shot a few years back and let me tell you its not for the faint of heart. not only do you have to be in top shape but literally fearless...just watch the video.



No we didnt get hurt when we were trying this stuff we actually had a lot of fun teaching ourselves how to do blackflips and run on walls. Ill look for a video of us doing some flips and stuff and post it on here. If i cant find any I have been re-inspired to go out and get in shape. Philly would be a great place to "run".

NY Car Show

So the New York International Car Show is here, and I am doing everything in my power to get there before its over, but I've been keeping track of the happenings and I just got some great news today...

2008 WORLD CAR OF THE YEAR:

AUDI R8
(you made daddy proud baby)

Steppin Out

This was my ringtone for a minute.

Everyone had that song that listened to right before they went out to the club fresh to def. Yea this was mine. Definately a feel good song then, and still is today.

Yes, Pittsburgh is a REAL City

Im really tired of people tryna act like Pittsburgh isn't a real city. No its not jammed packed full of people and nope its not well known like D.C. or NY...but you know what, there are hundreds of things that are, "just better in the Burgh".

Im from the Burgh and I love that s***!!!

Tron

You may have never seen the movie Tron before but its pretty sweet. Kanye used this video for the song "I Wonder" (not the official video, obviously). I think its a good mix.

Speeding

Driving is so therapeutic. I like to drive. I like to weave through traffic. I like it when the people in the car are holding on to the edge of their seats and I'm sitting in the driver seat one hand on the wheel. I like triple digits. I like driving.

Sometimes I cant wait to get in my car and peel off...now is one of those times.

Now

Later

Traded the van for it...straight up

Dumb and Dumber might be one of the funniest movies of all time.

Tastes so good, make you wanna slap yo' momma!

So my grandmother is from Jacksonville, FL and my grandfather was born is a shack in the backwoods of Arkansas. needless to say anytime i go visit them I get a extremely southern meal made with love (salivating...hold on please). It is very rare that you find any establishment that has soul food that would "make you wanna slap yo' momma"...but miracles do happen and we have found one (me & YODA). its called Warmdaddy's and its amazing.

MARVEL Comics

Well if any of you are comic book fans like myself then you can appreciate this:

Ironman looks amazing the trailer is sick lets hope it doesnt disappoint.


In 2003 all Incredible HULK fans were extremely disappointed by the movie that came out and turned the HULK into some kind of joke...NOT COOL! Well on June 13th they are gonna give it another shot. While I wont go to the movies to see it (they got my money once already) there is a new director so ill be more than happy to give it a chance when it comes out on DVD. Here is the trailer.

Hahaha!

This is so messed up...they laughed so hard

Hilarious

President: Barack or Hillary

MVP: Kobe or LeBron

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

he called him a pansy...this movie is outrageous lol

Scooter Tricks

Here you go YODA

This kid is 11 years old!!!

GOOD LUCK TEMPLE!

I am NOT a Temple University sports fan. However, I can appreciate an underdog doing and dont mind giving kudos when they are due. For the first time in 7-years the cherry and whites are back in the NCAA Tournament and I cant really say a bad thing about it...in fact Im kind of excited. So at 12:30pm today I will be glued to my seat watching them face off against #5 Michigan State.

Good luck fellas.

I dunno...

I came across this today...needless to say the results stung a little, but ill take it as motivation to do better.

Test Yours!

Oh my word

If there is one video that you ever choose to watch on my site I truly hope that it is this one. Oh my word...this might be the most ridiculous thing i have ever seen(that i can think of right now).

Did he just hit him in the top of the head?

Does anyone else find it absolutely hilarious that everyone pretty much just said, "well im done, you?...alright guys lets go home" and then walked off?

They're only kids

I guess this is what you do all day when you "blow up" and your still young enough to have fun like a kid...S*** i bet the grown ups do the same stuff.

I know personally know people who have strong ass accents, but wow.

Im Sprung

If you've never seen "Love Dont Cost A Thing" with Nick Cannon and Christina Milian you should. Its a good movie (disagree if you must)...and shes really cute.

These guys

Ok so when I said I was gonna start with the Neptunes I meant it and ya know what these guys might be the most creative minds (except mine) ive seen in a minute. Just an example...here is their site.

Go ahead. Click it. You kno you want too.

StarTrak

Great work fellas

That last post was a little premature. I just read the entire article and to be quite frank...i am speechless. Read this statement issued by a PennDOT executive:

“We expect, at a minimum the close down to be at least two days, that’s what we’re shooting for. Four months ago, in October when we saw it, it was only a half an inch wide, the crack, and about four and a half foot long. So, it’s about two inches wide now and seven or eight foot long.”

Everyone who is apart of the crew of people who saw this FOUR MONTHS AGO gets a technical foul, and a swift kick in the balls/solid punch to the tits (gender appropriate of course). Im not an expert on this type of thing but there is no way that you can fix this in TWO DAYS!!! This is outrageous...i dont know if i should be mad or laugh at this guy. Oh yea and the guy who saw it way back in October and said, "its not that bad, we can fix it later" should get fired.

Well thats PA roadwork for ya. (they'll probably go to Wal-Mart and grab some sticky tack and rubber cement...pun intended).
GO PennDOT!!!

Broken

So today I found out that I-95 is broken...literally. Its easier to show than explain--->

Ok, so heres what I was thinking like two weeks ago when I went out to eat, what a coincidence. You know how in all of those action movies when Superman is kickin ass and takin names all over the city. Well what if your car was parked (as mine was at the time) under a highway, like I-95.

Situation:
You park your car and leave. Find out that there is a bank robbery going on in the city. Speeding bullet, blah,blah,blah Superman is there to save the day. Bad guy is gettin that ass whooped all over the place. Then it gets real violent and they start throwing cars and falling into buildings. WHOOSH....BOOM. Superman throws this guy through the highway, and it falls on your car...reaction?

Superman or Superasshole???

Anyways i digress. When I found out about this a series of questions came to mind, bear with me here:

1) who do you call when you see this?
2) do you move your car first or just call?
3) how do you fix this?
4) what the f***???
5) HOW DO U FIX THIS?!?

Breakthrough

Honestly all i can say is eureka!...so if you have ever been in my car you clearly know my situation with the music that I have(a vast array of horrible stuff that i listened to in middle school) and ive been thinking of a way to kind of start over without starting over, and find stuff i really like for a specific reason. usually when i see any post about music i watch it and scratch my head in confusion or just wonder how they even heard about it.

Each and every song on this clip has been a song that i have played in a CD player on a computer or (dare i say it) a cassette tape and really enjoyed. Ive always known that im not that deep into lyrics, but ive never been able to pinpoint what it was that consistently got me to really like a song and now once again thanks to chris (aka YODA) i figured it out. what happened during the first 20 years of my life and here the heck was I when all this stuff was going on???

Needless to say im gonna start with the Neptunes and go from there...rebuild my collection from scratch. Wish me luck.

"11 years of greatness" by Chris Francis

Dr. Suess

So i remember a few years ago i heard that Dr. Suess really wrote his childrens books with the intention of doing more than entertaining young minds. Many of his books were in acuality accounts of histoirical events and past political decisions that have caused lots of controversy in America...who knew. well the Lorax was one of my favorite stories. turns out it was about communism or capitalism (two very differnt things but i cant remember which one it was) crazy right. check it out...

Please forgive

Of course I had to post this. I know that you guys were thinking about this as soon as I posted the other...its a crime to talk about Will Smith and not listen to this. Enjoy!

Thank you for smoking

This guy is a master at fast talking and proving his point...its actually quite amazing. I know its long but you gotta watch the whole thing...this guy is a beast.

Told you so!

(ok so its daze and not "day"...we arent gettin technical here)

Just chillin...

Just chillin at the cribby and thinking about some good movies that I havent seen in a minute....here are a couple clips from me to you

The Last Dragon

If you were wondering...yes he was glowing

Warriors

Great movie...nuf said

Hey...whats he doing over there?!?

Sitting in the computer lab at Tuttleman (Temple University building) and its right before class and its a ton of people standing in line to use the computers. Normally i would have gotten up and left a long time ago (the guilt of making someone wait while I'm on facebook is unbearable), but not today. I have strategically positioned myself in the far back corner so that it looks like Im doing some serious typing....probably for a paper thats due this morning. thought that was clever and wanted to share it with the world (world craig)...haha thought of a funny clip

P.S. making people wait for a computer while your on Facebook is NOT cool, its only acceptable if your posting a blog or doing real work. Those are the most pressing things in life these days...i guess

Amazing

Cant believe you didnt post this Chris

anywayys...i applaud the genius who did this.

"I never really knew she was cute" - Uch

Back...wayyyy back

Does any one remember parapper the rapper...all over my brain right now



This shit was official!!!!

Transformation

The is a lot of changes goin' on in my psyche these days, and one of the biggest ones are the things i am starting to notice. All my life ive been in the presence of music and sneakerheads etc. and now 20yrs deep im finally starting to realize what ive been missing out on. Maybe its because i just didnt care or was busy doing other stuff like hoopin, but watever the case i missed out on a lot of stuff (not mad just shocked). i find myself looking for the best movies, sneakers, music, and art...crazy right just out of the blue im seeing stuff i never noticed. Heres a couple of examples:

Pop-definitely was a sneakerhead, lookin at some old pics he had a decent collection (then he had 3 kids and the sneakers were replaced with baby clothes)lol i love him but he turned into the ultimate bargain shopper
Mommy-the ultimate moviehead...seriously if youve ever been to my crib and seen my basement its nuts, over 800 videotapes and our DVD collection aint to shabby either. but she can still tell you any and every movie down there wat its about and who the stars are.
Keith- this cat loves music...plays drums keyboard and makes beats (all self taught). And will talk for days about it if you ask for his favorite jazz musician or gospel singer or how he learned to play the instruments he knows.
Andrew & Dennis- not athletically gifted in the least but know basketball and football inside and out. from coaching little leagues to telling you everything that happened in professional sports 5min ago they can do it.

And i missed it all for 20 years, crazy right. Anyways before the slight discourse in topic i was talking about changes ive noticed...for the past week ive been looking and listening to things that i otherwise would have paid no mind to. ive been greeting people and instantly looking at their sneakers, watching movies and really hearing the background music, driving and paying attention to how stupid some of the music i listen to really is while noticing art/graffiti on the walls...absolutely blows me away when i hear a song that i think i know all the words to and after about 5 years of singing along really hear wat they are saying (sounds crazy but it happened the other night...teacher lick my panties off lmao no homo). I keep wanting to type its crazy but keep deleting it, but it really is blowing me away.

To all those who are tru "heads" (sneakers, music, movies, watever) i have a new respect for you. Im standing at the doorway looking in and its calling me. Ive scratched the surface and am compelled to dig deeper. Im starting to understand how u guys feel, because im starting to feel it myself...maybe ill take the dive and completely become one with all of these different cultures that ive overlooked for so long.
