The Pharcyde- Passin' Me By

"I think I need a prayer
to get in her boots and it looks rather dry
I guess the twinkle in her eye is just a twinkle in her eye
Although she's crazy steppin, I'll try to stop her stride
Cause I won't have no more of this passin me by"


This is one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite groups of all time, The Pharcyde. Everything about this song is amazing; the beat, the lyrics, the flows, and Fatlip's legendary verse to finish it off. It also has a great video. That shot where the group is hanging upside down with the L.A. skyline in the background; incredible. Anyways, this song has really helped me a lot on many occasions and it sure came through for me today. Now that school has arrived once again I am ready to shake off this summer laziness and get back to doing some REAL work.

Air Jordan III's (True Blue)

I used to have the original retros of these for a little while a couple years ago. They were beat. Jordan Brand re-retroed them recently but to much dismay they were an international release only. Meaning they would mostly be sold outside of the U.S. Either way I want these really bad. They are probably my second favorite shoe (that I don't have)of all time behind the fire red III's. Just a classic shoe.

Touche Amore

"This city is trash, and it's always moving
This city is shit, I wanna see it in ruins
It's clientèle represents hell
Buy your way in, sell yourself short
BUY, SELL, BUY, SELL"


Touche Amore performing "Negotiating the Charade".
I wish I was there that day. It was the night of my senior prom too. Such a great band. Great lyrics, music, raw emotion, ughh just amazing. I loved their 2008 demo so I recently downloaded their LP "...to the beat of a dead horse", such a good album. The new songs are raw and the re-recorded songs sound so much grittier. I'm definitely gonna purchase it. Check them out on myspace.

I just decided to re-design this because I was really bored and had nothing else to do today.

Nike Sb Video

A day in the life of Paul Rodriguez.

Dope video with cameos from Eric Koston, Kobe Bryant, and Ice Cube.
I just wish they hadn't chopped ice cube's song up so much.

Go ahead and watch this video if you have 10 free minutes to spend and don't have a hefty object within grabbing distance that you might be urged to hurl at your monitor. I say this because listening to Pat Buchanan's blemished logic might just make you want to lob obscenities at your computer and tear your hair from its roots. Just knowing that some people in this country still hold sentiments of this kind really makes people wonder; how far have we come?
Poor Ms.Maddow sensed that Pat Buchanan was about to fire a shot at Sotomayor so she decided to swiftly change the subject of the conversation to affirmative action. Unfortunately for her this only diverted Pat's nescience to a broader subject and didn't spare us from catching quite possibly one of the most awkward dialogues in recent history. I sure am glad Rachel ripped him a new one. I know she's off limits for my end of the spectrum but she sure did look mighty spicy in this clip. wowzzers me-ow

oooooooof

I haven't posted anything in forever.
I'll try to post more.
I've been listening to a lot of Cam'ron lately.
Maybe too much Cam'ron actually.
This is two years old and I still find it hilarious.


I also saw the "Santana's Town" parody the other day and thought it was genius.





Why am I blogging about old dipset shit?
I'm that bored I guess.
I should be doing an essay on Hamlet right now.
Oh well. More updates coming soon.
