This isn't even fair.

At this point, I don't even really know what to say about this album. It's incredible (no karomo). Come one, come all to all singer/songwriters and try and put out something like this. Yes, I have the whole album, because, well, because I'm me. This goes the complete opposite direction from the last album, which is not a bad thing at all. I liked the last album. But this shit will just blow your mind. The beats are nuts, Timberland and Will.I.Am are on top of their games on this. Guest spots by T.I., Three Six, and the ever-popular Clipse all serve their purpose. I haven't stopped listening to it since I got it. I don't know when I will either. This is gonna sell a lot. Go get it on September 12.

Other news and notes.

People are back. Classes started. If something interesting happens I'll be all over it, but otherwise don't expect much from here from the next couple of days. I'm kind of in deep breath mode after the hellacious summer I had with those insane kids.

Big Fantasy Football Draft coming up on Thursday. I'll let you know how The Seventh Floor Crew fairs. Yes that's really my name.

USA at 6:30 on Wednesday morning. I'm gonna try and wake up to watch it since I have 3, i mean no classes.

I'm so into Entourage right now.

Heading to my 4th grade class in the morning. Jas is right down the hall which is sic.

Can football please start?

I'll leave you with some great Ari Gold clips.

Live Blogging the LLWS.

First and foremost. Snakes on a Plane is the shit. Don't wait for the DVD, go see it in the theatre with some friends. Great time. Samuel puts on a hell of a performance and delivers some very quotable lines.

3 more days with the brats.

Now, I must admit that when I was younger I watched my fair share of LLWS games. That was back before these kids had HGH in their french fries and synthetic testosterone in their Wheaties. I enjoyed the games because maybe I could remember playing in my 12 year old All Star games just like these kids are. But now that I'm 10 years older than these kids, it hasn't really kept my attention. I haven't seen more than a half inning of any of these games this year, so who better to live blog one. Phoenix, AZ (1-1) vs. Staten Island, NY (0-2).

Wow, major problems with the Worldwide Leader right now. They are making me watch these damn foreign teams play instead of taking me to the first pitch of the game I want to see. Wow, I'm not even upset.

So, bottom of 6. Canada is down 1-0 to some team from Saipan. They are batting. Gary Thorne and Eric Karos are calling the action.

Runner on first, no outs. Here's what these two clowns are babbling about "Hope, khaklflafahfkajfakljalkjjfda, sportsmanship, askhaafkladjf jfldfjwtjf gipofjgjdsf goiast fsj g, 3000 kids, shdifskdhfdsah fd, the Little Leauge Dream." Gag me.

A "special" runner just came out. Gary Thorne just said that you could buy a rally cap. Are you serious? Show me somewhere you can buy a rally cap and you'll see me tip a cow. Special runner stole second and moved to third on a sac bunt that didn't sac as the catcher tried to get the out at third. Now we got runners at the corner with nobody down.

What a coincidence. This white kid from Canada's favorite food is sushi. They are playing some people from Saipan. I'm sure they eat sushi there.

Wow. Grounder to SS. Throws to first. E-6. Runner from third scores and the first baseman proceeds to throw the runner who was on first out at the plate. The sushi kid is on third. One down. Only in LL baseball. Oh and its tied. I see on the bottom line that Phoenix is up 1-0. I'll keep you posted because I know you care.

Single to right. Ballgame. Give me my Americans. NOW. The kids from the Pacific look like they could care less. You know why? Cuz they are all baseball playing robots. Yeah I said it, so what.

Now here is a commentating team for the ages. Musberger and Hershieser. I really wish Harold Reynolds was still on here. It's a shame he liked to rub up on the interns a little too much. Erin Andrews is along for the ride too. Mmmmm.

These kids from NY are straight mob-kids. They only have 6 hits in two games. Unreal. Arizona has some twins that that play the middle infield position. I wish that I could meet some twins from Arizona. Bout 24, blonde, 5' 10". But enough about me. This is about the kids.

Goose Gossage or someone that looks like him is managing the NY team. I would have thought that it was Tony Soprano. Yeah and how bout some kid from this team dropping the F-bomb live on ESPN. Gotta love that.

Erin Andrews alert. She's looking fine today down in Williamsport. End of one complete. 1-0, Cacti.

Sidebar. How bout this monster from Saudi Arabia that is six foot eight and thirteen. No more words. Just a picture.


I don't really like these helmets that these kids wear. I don't even know what else to say about them. Except, ghey.

Orel is trying way, waaaay too hard. Some kid in LF just caught a fly and he looks like a meatball with legs. (All in good fun).

I do like the pace of play of these games because it feels like someone is in the box as soon as the kid before him makes contact. Either they are really anxious or someone is ushering them into the box. Orel is talking ridiculously now. Munsberger is just lauging and saying yeah. 3-0, Cacti. Some kid just hit one to the fence and the Big Stink just put a hit out on his family.

I love that Frosted Flakes picked a random player like Derek Lee to endorse their product. As if a talking tiger that is more ripped than the Hulkster isn't random enough. I guess A-Rod's lips were too purple.

I really hope that someone stocked all the Bud skids at Strickler's so I don't have to do it. They just played the "One f'in run" clip. Hey, they needed a run. What are you gonna do.

Some kid just squared to bunt and almost caught it right inbetween his eyes. Apparently they just moved the fences back at Lamade field and its not the Minute Maid Park-type bandbox that it once was. Great. These kids want to hit bombs. The fences should be at like 150 so even the puniest of the punes can jack one.

Munsberger: Japan looks goooood.
Orel: They look solid.

Wow.

The meat-a-ball with legs is up. His favorite player is Babe Ruth. I would have guessed Kobiashi. It looks like he's holding a 28-inch Brot(wurst) not a 28-inch bat.

Why are two grown men talking about dimples on 12 year old boys?

I would love to see Jim Rome do these games. Can we set this up at least once. Erin Andrews, and TWINS. Arizona is putting the beat down. Some kid just hit a dinger and he's their pitcher.

NY is bringing in a new pitcher. Booooooooooooorrrrrrrrring. His ERA is 9.00. This thing is going mercy rule. Throwing it around is so underrated.

I always wanted to invent a sport with like 300 yard field where you would just tee a golf ball up at home plate and then hit it. The fielders would be like 250 yards away and if you caught it, its an out. If it falls, you get a run. Teams of like 5 or so. You would have to wear some kind of mask or something.

I think Erin Andrews just hit on Orel Hershieser. Now, I KNOW I'm better looking than Orel. the more Erin Andrews, the better.

This kid pitching for AZ looks like Adam Morrison (yeah Cannon) and he might even have that 'stache. This Morrison kid is just mowing people. I don't like their puke-yellow unis tho.

Like Prince says, "This bores me." I'm sure NY will win.

Usually I don't listen too much other than the stuff you have seen on here. But that new Chilli Peppers bangs.

You may not have three or four, but you got one maaaan...

Nelly & St. Lunatics - Air Force Ones

The Suckfest that is Ricky Bobby.

Well, first off, bon voyage, Bruce Bowen. (You can never have too many commas.) It was fun while it lasted but Mr. Duke took your spot. Surprise Surprise. I just hope that this doesn't come back and bite the US in the arse. We'll see though. At least they didn't cut both of their quote-unquote role players. Long live Battier SIKE. Go USA, hopefully Joe Johnson gets minutes and shows that he is ready to be the man. He's slowly becoming one of my favorite players in the L.

Tiger will win this weekend at Medinah. Go put the farm on it.

7 more days. Oh yeah.

Now on to more pressing issues. The new Super China Panda Ferris Wheel Buffett opened in H-Don and its bad. Horrible. Overpriced. 3 out of 10. The other hole in the wall buffett is head and shoulders above it. Don't go there, it blows. The new one that is. They had crab legs, oh wait there was no meat in them. Ketchup packets. Where am I BK. I won't be heading back there any time soon.

Now, on to Talladega Nights: The Disappointment that is Ricky Bobby. Now before I saw this embarassment, I heard a lot of good things about this movie and not too much bad. I figured it would be worth the six bucks that I paid to see it. Well they should have paid ME to see it. I'm not gonna get those 2 hours back and I am really angry at The Big Disappointment (TBD) aka Will Ferrell. This movie lacked any semblance of continuity or a plot line. After seeing Chappelle on Sunday, he makes TBD look like Tony Danza. Now don't get me wrong, I loved Anchorman, Old School, and TBD on SNL, but this shit was garbage. I mean it really sucked. My favorite part of the movie was the cameo by Mos Def at Jean Girard's crib. Now I'm not saying I didn't laugh but it had to be only 11 or 12 times. It was just stupid. And this may be incoherent and rambling but I don't care. I'm pissed. I wanna fight TBD. I need to detox on him right now. I would have rather seen World Trade Center, Step Up (its got girls), and Miami Vice that this 2 hour borefest.



I know that I am going to get into so many arguments about this piece of garbage when school starts that I'm gonna get sick of talking about this worthless thing, so this is the last you will hear of Ricky Bobby on LITP. Here are some movies that are better than this crapfest (in no particular order)

Wedding Crashers, Anchorman, Old School, 40 Year Old Virg, Gilmore, Billy Madison, Bueller, Starsky and Hutch (on Snoop's performance alone), Waiting, any Seinfeld episode, Shawshank (this isn't even a comedy, i dont care), and I'm done wasting my time with this.

He better bring those heat rocks with his figure skating movie with Napoleon Dynomite.

IT SUCKS.

Duped.

Well, Chappelle Weekend didn't disappoint at all. A few snafus here and there, but a great weekend any way you look at it. Here is a few of the highlights and lowlights.

Almost forgot the tickets.

The song of the trip was a certain song about a certain act sung by a certain new, R&B songstress about how spectacular she is at said act. I'm tryin to keep it PG here. But anyway, the song is ridiculous and I really used to hate it, especially after I saw said singer perform it on TRL and pull an Ashleeeeeeeeee Simpson (all those E's are for her new face). But now I just listen to the song and laugh histerically. I'm sure I will wear it out but until then.

Cherry Three Olives and Sprite. Not just any Sprite though, a 2-liter for 2 bucks bottle of Sprite. Best tasting sprite I've ever had. I think it had HGH in it.

Just so you know, we are rolling 3 deep. Just in case you were wondering. But I digress.

Caught a cab, err taxi, to Station Square and we couldn't get a word out of our driver until he laughed at a "hey look a cop pulled another cop over joke." He wasn't too happy.

Hit Hooters for a drink and this waitress thought she was gonna get a nice tip because she poured our beers for us. Hey, I have two hands, I can do it. My depth perception is pretty good. I don't know who she thought she was. She was a Cleveland Brown though.

After we decided we had enough of Hooters we strolled down to some Red Rooster? Tavern, to meet up with some of my friend's friends, who turned into my friends by the end of the weekend. I'm not sure of the middle word, maybe Grill? Pine? Park? I do know it was Red and Tavern though. This is the point of the night where the bottles of Coors Light started to go down like Peach Propel. It was about 11:30, so you do the math.

After this, the three of us headed to The Matrix...


This was my first experience at the Matrix but I must say that I enjoyed myself thoroughly and wish that I just would have planted myself in the 80s room. Anywhere that plays Motownphilly needs at least a solid hour of my time. It took me a little to get orientated to this place though because it was the first time I was ever there. Four rooms and the techno room is like a rave, which is wild, like the fifth dimension or something. But anyway, it was probably 1000 deep in there so it was pretty tooight.

After that we got duped by some chicks we met on the street who were returning our Byahh's. They said they were gonna give us a ride back to Oakland and then they led us up in this parking garage and just started sprinting and drove off. They were flutes and am glad we didn't ride with them because I didn't want to catch anything in their car. We then caught a ride back to Oakland with some cabbie that was a little more coherent and talkative than our previous one. He kinda looked like he could go a-wall at any moment, he got us to our destination though.

Hit the Arches for some late night nuggets I believe. Hunger fulfilled. Then went back to the girls place that we were staying and there was a nice little afterparty going on. Though, I can't say that I remember much of it. Apparently at some point I slid head first a la Ricky Henderson into the bathroom so I could pee. If you say so.

Watched the longest Sportscenter ever on Sunday. It was honeslty 3 hours long. They previewed something in the 30 block and then we didnt see it for another 2 hours. We waited way to long to find out Mark May, Trey Wingo and some random had the Buckeyes at 2 and ND at 5.

Watched some really gay TV in the afternoon. Karomo on NEXT. Some movie with Lance Bass at some ad agency and Joey Fat-one (thanks Op) as a struggling singer in a cover band. It was so bad you couldn't take you eyes off of it. It made for some good hilarious comments. If you ever want to rent it, its called Off the Line and was actually more entertaining than the bum that opened for Chappelle, why couldn't he bring Common or someone with him.


If you ever have a chance to watch the documentary about 2Pac's life, watch it. Makes you see he was more than just a rapper and the chemistry between him and Tabitha Soren was really spectacular and hilarious. She loved him.

As for Chappelle, it was good. Great, actually. Worth every penny and I would definetly see him again. The only problem was the venue because it was outisde in the middle of 2 train tracks and trains were actually running. He was getting pissed but was a good sport about it and funny about it.

He said that he felt weird watching his buddies host HIS show. He said it would have been like giving Rudy and Vanessa the Cosby Show. "We don't need you Bill. We never did." In his amazing white person voice. He was hilarious and I wish that I could remember all of what he had to say. Other highlights were his Oprah stuff, him fighting the guy on crystal meth, and anything he said about the train tracks and being put on a barge.

Overall great weekend. Thanks to the organizer (MK), Mr. Byahh (AM) and our gracious hosts (Thanks Ladies).

Other random thoughts...

Its a shame Agent Zero won't be pariticipating in the World Championships even though it didn't look like he was gonna make it anyway.

I will be stuck in beer purgatory all weekend (Fri - Sun) so come visit.

The Idlewild OST is crap expcept for the singles I have already heard. (Hollywood Divorce, Morris Brown, and The Train)


Haven't had time for much tv or sports lately so hopefully once the WBC and the Buckeyes get going I get talk about that.

8 more days with the kids. I'll miss them but then I won't. I'll be perfectly fine with selling beer and taking classes and doing work and drinking beer and getting my college coaching career off the ground and winning fantasy football leagues and sleeping in later than 6 AM.

Lebron should bail out Mo Clarrett, just because he can.

I hate Duke, but...

I am a huge Luol Deng fan. Him, Grant Hill, and Elton Brand are probably the only ones I can tolerate that played at Coach K's boarding school. The rest of them make me sick, Wojo, Hurley, Langdon, Alien-head, etc. You could go on all day.

Big win in round one of the play-offs. 20 and 9. Check. Round 2 tonight at 6:20. I'll let you know the results.

Great read on The Worldwide Leader today by Tom Friend abut the troubles of Number 13 and some phone calls he made before he got pulled over. He even goes as far as piecing together some information on why Number 13 had a couple of these...



And this...



And a half drank bottle of this...



Off to Mansion. Hopefully there are no incidents.

My man.

I knew there was some reason I was so drwn to Mo Clarett. Last night he lost his mind. Open bottle of Grey Goose, check. Loaded handguns, check. Bulletproof vest, check. Hatchet? Check. He's honeslty in Suge Knight territory right now. If he only would have stuck around school for another 2 years. Well, at least he can run for 250 and 2 TD's in the Longest Yard 2. Enjoy life behind the walls, Maurice. Here are some good links about the subject...

Sorry about the hiatus.

Hi. It's been awhile. It's been a combination of laziness, busy-ness, and just a overall lack of anything really interesting happening. Yeah, I could write about the USA basketball team's dismantling of Puerto Rico, but I only watchted the first quarter so I would be pretty much reciting what I have read from others. Floyd Landis doesn't really interest me. Santonio Holmes does, but since I'm about 200 miles from Steelers training camp then I guess I'll pass.

I got a flat tire last night. Got it changed at Wal-Mart today. Guess I really am in the "real world" now.

I'm really regretting going to work this week, I mean I don't wanna go at all. I've about had it with most of those kids. I really don't even know what else to say at this point. It's like its not even a real world. Some bizarro place.

Mansion play-offs start this week. I'm sure Skip will find some way to screw us. Whatever.

Sorry for all the bitterness in this post.

Someone come do my laundry.

I don't know who I dislike more Bryan "Baby" Williams or Phil "FIGJAM" Mickelson. Both are fat, cocky, and have had some extended success. I prefer the other two members of their familes: Amy Mickelson and Weezy. This picture is from when Phil's boobs were only a B cup.



The second season of the best show on TV comes out on August 22. Speaking of which, I think that I am turning into this man, which is not necesarily a bad thing...



You can argue all you want, but this is the best show on TV.

I've been doing a lot of reading lately, I think thats where I'm going now. James Patterson, go read him.
