Blogger Notes

This is the stupidest shit I've ever heard/seen in my life! Like WTF!? really!? There are a million other music artists in the world who have a million times more talent who more rightfully deserve the amount of exposure these retards are going to receive. This shit is ridiculous! How do dumbasses like this even find the funding to produce stupid videos/music like this, and who in there right mind would back up a song like this and support it. After some research, I found that Yung Joc is the man behind getting them signed. Seems fitting enough. Yung Joc's music career is a JOKE therefore he will continue to push forward more artists who are like him, A JOKE, JUNK/TRASH! I mean really, I can tolerate songs made exclusively for dancing and having fun with your friends at parties and what not i.e. Crank Dat and songs of the like, but this is just ridiculous. I can even tolerate some of soulja Boy's songs and understand that his music is the type of stuff you listen to when you wanna have fun and just dance but its bullshit like this retarded ass "stanky legg" song that gets me mad about what type of culture we're pushing towards kids these days. I only say this because I have little cousins who eat up stupid music like this and think its all cool. It seems like all the music that kids seem to listen to these days are songs that have a stupid dance with them. This song was completely unnecessary/idiotic, and should have never been put through production on the level that it has. I don't even know why I'm hating so much on this song. It must be that I'm tired of hearing more and more idiotic/garbage music on the radio and that all that money could have been used to further some other much more amazingly talented artist out there. This song will probably get massive nighclub rotation just because of it being what it is, a song with a stupid dance attached to it, but I really do hope these guys' music career starts and ENDS with this piece of CRAP.

Maybe? I love their band initials because they're my name initials. RJA. lol.



I've been posting a lot of music related blogs lately. Hopefully the next few will be more content heavy with daily ramblings. I haven't been able to think about anything except school these past few days/weeks due to finals. Last night was "hella" random/spur of the moment but fun pulling an all nighter with Mayte though. She's more chill than I thought.

I'm not normally one to spread documentaries like this by any means because I'm not really into films like these that try to expose political conspiracies and what not but this one really hit me pretty hard what's going on in the world today. The facts are out there for any one to see plain as day but some of us choose to ignore it. I myself am still taking the information in this film with a grain of salt but am just going to be weary from now on and draw my own conclusions. Its up to you to be an information hunter. But if you have the time, instead of sitting on the internet all day, take the time and educate and inform yourself about some extremely scary/shady stuff going on today about Obama and you may be shocked about what they talk about. GLOBAL WARMING could be a huge LIE. OBAMA is a DECEIVER. Do I have you're attention yet? Again I am by no means into political documentaries like these but the issues and facts presented hit me pretty hard and are hard to ignore because I can actually see some of this happening. Its all pretty frightening in my opinion.

I may have voted for the man at election time and supported him initially but that doesn't mean I have to continue to do so. If you feel the same as I do after watching this PLEASE repost and spread this video and do some researching for yourself.

SOUL POSITION

RJD2's production coupled with Blueprint's lyricism = Brilliance



"The story of my life epitomizes imperfection
As a musical where every scene seems to lack direction
And I stand center stage stunned by what's happening
Blinded by the lights, heroin's action
Although I never asked for this lead role
It seems that God decided it a long time ago
I was chosen for this
Given the gift to gain and maintain the crowd's cheers
I break bread over beats with like-minded peers
And share the story of my last trip into the atmosphere"

When those horns come in after the Chorus...NUTS!!! Awesome crescendo.

What happened to Gravy? He was pretty dope on this track.

So I sprained my ankle tonight playin ball at UCLA with Yi. I'm so mad. Imma be out of commission for at least a good probably 3 weeks or so before I can ball again...This is gonna be frustrating since I ball like 3-4 times a week and have already got in the habit. FML. Well I guess this is God's sign telling me to buckle down and get shit done for Finals! I'm pretty much immobilized so there should be nobody to blame but myself if I get any bad grades this quarter since all I can do is lie down and rest with my computer in my lap. It was pretty nasty cause I heard a lot of cracking/popping in my ankle when I rolled it. I'm gonna try to get it X-rayed tomorrow to make sure I didn't do anything more than sprain it just to be safe.

I guess the only good news today was that I copped some brand new black Fab Five/Barkley's at Ross today for the amazingly cheap price of $27!

I've been searching for these forever since I passed on them when they retroed them awhile back. God I love shopping at Ross. You may have to try and stop in every now and then to find good steals but when you actually do it makes it so worth it. Too bad I won't be able to rock them since my ankle is swelling to the size of a baseball at the moment.

"Most people listen to their music while they're drivin
So the next time you think you got a classic
Throw it all around and listen to it in some traffic
Make sure you roll the windows down
Be honest about yourself about how your shit sounds
Life would be better if more people did that
I wouldn't have to wait through demo's full of crap
Too many wack rappers fuckin' up the game
Too many independant acts sounding the same
Poppin' shit on the net to get a name"

"Drunkenness is nothing but voluntary madness"

Last night I went out with the cousins for Marie's Bday. Two words. HELLA FUN. I can safely say that last night was the first time I was genuinely drunk. I'll be real and say that I've been a good little boy all my life and never drank underage except for when I was in NY on my senior trip but even then I was a wuss and only took like 2 shots that didn't even get me tipsy, only made me warm and feel good. The second time I drank was on my 21st birthday, but I didn't really test my limits and stopped after 3 shots of ketel so therefore I just got a little light headed/woozy. Last night I decided to silence my curiosity on how much it would really take to get drunk and to see how it actually felt. I had "redbull and vodka up in my hands", 4 glasses to be exact. After that it actually started to hit me. I felt all warm and fuzzy inside, and if you slapped me across the face, I would've still held that silent smile on my face because I was feeling so good. After Guy made me take a sip of 151 I was gone. hahaha. I couldn't walk straight anymore. I had no sense of balance, and I found myself stumbling all over the place feeling like the world was spinning. I almost fell down the stairs if it wasn't for the handrails as we were leaving the club. Even as I was sitting in the smoking lounge I found myself just staring at everything and how amazing it looked. I just felt so good, I kept running my fingers through my hair cause for some reason it felt so nice. LOL. I never felt that drunk before. It was great. But when I got to Guy's house I just could not sleep for awhile because I was still tipsy and kept feeling like the couch I was sleeping on would tip over and throw me onto the floor. When I finally woke up I was still drunk and couldn't even walk straight to the bathroom. Then I just went back to sleep again and woke up hungover for the first time in my life. I had a throbbing headache and was really thirsty. I was expecting it to be like in the movies where you wake up and the lights and sounds would be way too overstimulating but luckily it didn't. Being drunk feels amazing when you're in the moment because everything feels so good. It really is a truth serum though. You can openly talk about anything in your life. I was a SO close to sending a drunken text message professing my love for somebody I've been hiding it from for a while. lol. Luckily I still had control of my better judgement and deleted it before I stupidly hit the "send" button. Waking up the next morning sucks ass. Luckily my hangover wasn't so bad and I hope I never experience anything more than I did this morning because I was on the verge of barfing. Hopefully I never get to that point. But after feeling the true effects of alcohol for the first time I can really understand why so many people become alcoholics as much as I under stood how easy it is to be addicted to gambling. I guess once you turn 21 and are allowed to have all these "adult" privileges the world becomes one big ride of temptations. Your world opens up into a sphere of vices which constantly tempt you to become addicted to them. Despite my first true experience of being drunk I will still reserve alcohol for special occasions and what not. I'm not trying to develop into any type of alcoholic by any means. As much fun as it was, I'm still trying to stay healthy nowadays. If only there were a way your body could release stuff like that to achieve that state naturally without the use of alcohol...hahaha. Sports still give me a natural high which I can safely admit to being addicted to, hence why I play bball for 3 hours 3-4 times a week. I still vow to never smoke though, never have, and never plan to. Just ain't for me. On that note I shall conclude this long ass entry. Drugs and alcohol seem to be the theme of today. lol. Growing into more of an adult seems to be shaping up into something more fun than initially I thought it would be.

DJ TAKTIX FOREVER! CHEA BOI!

I've seen all this dude's videos. One word to describe this guy. HILARIOUS. I would like to spend just one day with this guy, no homo. He really needs his own TV show or something.

I had heard this song a couple days ago on the radio that sounded like it was done by a group like The Roots but when I tried to find it on the net I came up empty handed. I just discovered it was a hip hop group named Madcon from Norway and the single I heard "Beggin" was relatively old. It looks like they just made there way to American ears since they've been big in the Euro sphere and what not. I don't know how they never made there way here earlier cause they're pretty good. I can only describe them as an amalgamation of the styles of The Roots, Outkast, Black Eyed Peas, and Gnarls Barkley. As much as I love their remix of the Frankie Valli original, I still gotta stick with Frankie Valli with who's is better. lol. You may call it old people's music but oldies are the best! Frankie's voice is so high pitched and crazy it would probably make dogs cry. Anyways here's a couple of Madcon singles for your listening pleasure.

For lack of a better title. That is something on tomorrow's to do list.

As much as I like love songs, I love me a good and harsh breakup song as well, and this has got to be one of the harshest I've ever heard from my boy Son of Ran, and I love it. SO RAW. This is a really old track but HE'S A BEAST. This is Textual Harassment INDEED.

Till Death Do Us Part - Son of Ran & Memphis Reigns

I'm finally 21 now so I can finally go see his shows when he has gigs at clubs and what not. CHEA!

Let's see what else to update with today...I turned 21 last Sunday which was pretty exciting. Spent 6 hours drinking and gambling doing all the things that are prohibited from the under 21 crowd. I must say that after becoming 21 it feels like a whole different place, like you're part of a new club or something even though the people in vegas are there to take your money. They did take my money, 60 dollars to be exact. Luckily I didn't go nuts are burn a lot of cash for the sake of learning to gamble. But after sitting there and watching your amount of money multiply in such a short amount of time I fully understood how easy it is to get addicted to gambling. In a bout 2 hours I had potentially made 160 out of 40 bucks playing video roulette. I thought I could push my birthday luck, but it quickly dwindled away and I watched all my winnings go down, down the drain as I kept telling myself, "just one more, you'll make back your money" as I continued to bet higher and higher. Luckily I had cousins there to restrain me, otherwise I would have sat there all night in that leather chair staring at a video roulette screen buzzed from shots of vodka. But all in all the experience was fun. Since lot of peoples are turning 21 I can always go back and extend the partying into their celebrations as well. =] I also plan on going skydiving before the year is up just to have something more memorable for my 21st birthday. Hopefully I won't die and have this blog be one of the remaining pieces of evidence of my existence here on this planet. LOL. I don't know why I even said that, but I'm really serious about going balls out and following through on skydiving.



In other news, the homie Keven took me to Watch Watchmen in IMAX at the Bridge as a bday present today. After seeing it, I can safely say that is has got to be the movie of the year for me thus far. I welcome any new film to knock its spot off the top of my list. I had actually read the first chapter of Watchmen 3 years ago in my first quarter at Art Institute since I was told it was like THE book to read for aspiring screenwriters since the story was so well written. I had no knowledge they were already in the works of producing the film. But after seeing the film I have to say it blew away my expectations, partially because I wasn't expecting much after reading the reviews on rottentomatoes.com. They had mentioned the film had a "complex narrative structure" and that it turned off a lot of viewers because of this. If you're going into it expecting it to be a superhero movie you're gonna be very dissapointed because the story and dialogue is just chocked full of so much philosophy and insight on so many aspects about human nature. If you're not paying attention you're gonna have a hard time following what's going on. It makes the viewer think about your views about what your value in life and what not. I can fully understand how the themes talked about in the film can completely go over your head for most people who just want to be there to veg out and watch some kick ass action and explosions. Yes there was action and explosions but a very well balanced amount of questions posed to the audience to make you think about your values in life. It was a really intellectual film which was a pleasant surprise to me the most. The visual effects were equally as stunning and after being in school for 3 years and learning how to do all the stuff they did in the film, I have an even deeper appreciation for how much work they put into the effects. I'm not surprised the took over a year in post production rendering out there scenes. I really think you have to watch the film 2-3 times to fully understand everything that's going on as well as read the graphic novel to make the parallels cause for the first time viewer not exposed to the storyline, it is ALOT to take in. I left the theater with my brain feeling oversaturated. but it was a good oversaturation cause it leaves you thinking about things which is what a good film does. It takes awhile for all the content to settle and register in your mind. All in all I would definitely want to see it again, and now am even more compelled to go pick up the graphic novel again from my school library and finish off what i started reading 3 years ago.
