I’ve been away!

biking_amsterdam.jpg

So yeah, all 5 readers are like, “hey, what the fuck, this bitch hasn’t been updating for a few days.” Well, fuck you, I’m no bitch, so don’t call me that (wiping tears off my cheek). But I haven’t been updating because I’ve been away for a few days and really busy. Anyway, why don’t you just look at the Kim Kardashian video. That got the biggest hits out of all my posts. Also, I’ve got a Youtube account and a MySpace thing going on here so check that out - be my friend (we can give each other back massages, mmm…yummy).

Toy Tokyo: Showroom Showdown pictures!

showroom flier

So get this, I’m looking through my computer and found some pictures of this event - glimpse into my corporate-hipster life. The thing was a little over a month ago. It was pretty interesting. Here’s what happened. I was on the interweb looking at a bunch of random-assed sites as I usually do and I find out that Comic Con was in town at the Jacob Javitz. I don’t typically go to nerd events but I bought a ticket anyway. Meanwhile you got all these other hipster companies capitalizing on the fact that there are going to be nerds coming from out of town so they hold events like this one. Anyway, there were booze and broads. It was good:

Boo ya! Jim Cramer, you’re fired!

jim cramer

Above: He looks like he’s from the street, right? TheStreet.com that is.

I feel like this is celebrity news because it’s about Jim Cramer. The recent article titled ‘Cramer vs. Cramer‘ on Slate.com talks about an interview that was done on TheStreet.com, a site that he founded, where he talks about his strategies as a hedge fund manager back in the day [when he WAS a hedge fund manager]. For those of you who don’t know him, he’s quite the TV personality, on CNBC, for combining loud & entertaining antics with stock-market tips & strategy. Embarrassingly, I have to admit I love his show. Not so much for stock tips but cause he looks and sounds passionate and from hearing what he has to say, he seems to know a lot about a lot [about public traded companies anyway]. Boo-ya!

Clubbin’ Techniques 101 video!

The funny thing about the video is the fact that it’s Spider-man. Listening carefully I figured this was an Asian guy. There’s nothing wrong with that but from my experience with Asians, they’re generally more timid and not as outgoing as this guy. Pretty amusing video.

FATALITY!!!

Kim Kardashian video FINALLY OUT! (lots of info here)

So the Kim Kardashian video after much deliberation is now OUT! available ON the internet. Of course I am the first person to say ‘Nay’ to celebrity worship and NSFW content such as those now available for download via the links below (shaking my head in disgust, yuck!):

Insight into Hollywood! Director goes insane!

Director David O. Russell goes insane on actress Lily Tomlin during the filming of I Heart Huckabees movie:

I’m surprised. You’ll sometimes see on television celebrities doing interviews and saying how there were disputes during the set but I NEVER figured it would be crazy like David O. Russell crazy.

Ghettonation by Cora Daniels!

Ghetto Nation

Above: Ghettonation: A Journey Into the Land of
Bling and Home of the Shameless
by Cora Daniels

Excerpt from her book (pdf)

She recently wrote a book about the social phenom on being “ghetto” and its new meaning. I haven’t read the book but I did get a chance to look at her blog and it, despite the scarce # of entries, is quite intriguing. Take a look:
http://ghettonation.wordpress.com

If and when I get a chance to borrow this from the library, I’ll write about it, son. I think she’s based in New York but I’m not definite. She was on the radio (92.3 Free FM - JV & Elvis DOGHOUSE!) the other day today talking about her book.

UPDATE - March 22nd 2007

So I happened to have left a comment on Cora Daniels’ blog and she sent me some information regarding her book release party and dates to her readings and such. Well the party was tonight and I went: She’s absolutely lovely. Instead of borrowing the book from good ole’ Queens Public Library, I actually bought it.

I have a nervousness that I get when I meet people who are successful. They’re intimidating right? (cause I mean, we’re all aspiring to be successful & suddenly you meet someone who’s just that much closer). Anyway, there was nothing intimidating about her and she was not what I expected at all from someone who titled her book Ghettonation.

Yep, you guessed right, she had gold grillz on her teeth (straight 42K bling-a-ling-ling), wearing doped out LV sunglasses designed by Marc, a 3-inch diameter plat’num chain and full-zip Crooks & Castles hoodie (whhhaatt???….okay!! ala Lil’ John). She’s one gangsta’-assed autha’.

F’real, f’real, she was actually very professional and articulate - the type of articulate you find yourself looking to Websters for assistance.

Playing your part in KARMA! part 2.

Before you read this entry, you have to look at part 1.

Cocktail

So anyway, I didn’t set his car on fire (yet). However I did wake up at around 4 AM to look for his car and I found it, or so I think. I mean, I’m pretty sure the car was in front of his house. Well, I walked to the same area and found an Acura there. I know it was an Acura but I don’t want to ruin some random guy’s day who just so happens to own an Acura. I think I’m going to do some look-out and walk by during the day for the week in case I spot him again to know for certain that it’s his car. Once I’m certain though, I’m probably going to:

1.) Pour a can of paint over his fucking car

2.) Shove potatoes into his pipes or

3.) Put tape on his windows, use a towel to muffle the sounds, break the glass with a small, but heavy, hammer and then drop a Molotov cocktail in there.

Hip Hop Revolution and How my friend was oblivious to it!

Well Fed Nigo

Above: Making millions off sneakers while you make minimum wage to buy’em. It’s great except that bitch is parading around with Pharrell dangling gold chains, on TV, that are as heavy as his weight. That’s when you realize, “hey, wait a minute, $200 for sneakers is a little too much!”

For those people who look at websites like hypebeast.com or highsnobiety.com or all the other thousands of websites that dedicate their time and efforts towards the hip hop revolution/scene, sneakers, new era caps, t-shirts, bags and all things street wear has to offer, it feels familiar & routine. That’s because there’s so much of it to go around and there are definitely enough people to take it all in. However a few months back I was talking to my friend about it and he was completely oblivious to it. Sometimes when I’m “into” something it’s hard not to realize how the whole thing is such a niche and it’s just another fad. Even though I don’t buy any of that crap I do tend to look at it way too much.

My friend works in Accounting and applying a very limited stereotype about Accountants you may say, “oh, there you go, of course he wouldn’t know anything about it.” My problem with this is, why does ANYONE know about this? I mean, this whole culture seems to have become nothing but another way for companies to pipe their Made In China’ goods into the hands of adolescent boys to mid-20 year olds’ hands. I like the idea of supporting a culture but when BAPE is selling you a sweatshirt for 200 clams they can just GO FUCK THEMSELVES. It has become ridiculous. What is limited edition is no longer limited edition if the same company who claims to be a boutique-type ordeal is coming out with new things for hypeWHORES every single week. If you support the culture then support it by creating and innovating but don’t do it as a consumer with a credit card and itchy index fingers. I don’t think what I’m saying is anything NEW! but I feel like it’s something that needs to be reiterated.

Semen Glue Movies?

semen glue

Though this site has never been serious I would like to say that I WOULD like to make a serious entry one day. However I don’t expect people who are looking for ‘semen glue movies‘ to wander onto my site either. Here is an image from my statistics page. A list of words used in searches that lead to my site is presented and somebody who was looking for “semen glue movies” ended up reading about my anti-social behaviors. Hopefully my readers - all 5 - are not all perverse social-miscreants.

Also note that a lot of the readers are looking for illegal bootlegs. That’s from this entry.

Playing your part in KARMA!

car.jpg

So it’s snowing in New York City. Well, not snowing but there are still remnants here in Queens, where I live, and I was still riding my bike around despite that shit all over the streets. Anyway, here’s the story, I’m riding my bike and I accidentally touch this guy’s car who had stopped in the middle of the street - he was just double parked there like the stupid fuck that he is. Nothing, I didn’t do a single thing to his car but he decided to drive in reverse and tried to first, run me over, and then second, get me to stop by coming out and saying he wanted to talk to me. That stupid fuck. Of course I didn’t stop and I knew what he wanted; he wanted a scuffle. Anyway, more cause I was riding my bike then because of an intelligent choice, I didn’t stop - I don’t have a great handle on that stupid thing yet. But guess what? I’m going to set his fucking car on fire tonight. That fuck.

Maybe not, maybe my ranting on this blog is helping me cope with my anger. Or maybe yes and I’ll do it. Please be on the lookout for a hate crime tomorrow. That’s what karma is, right? I mean, it’s that anger that I have, that’s my negative energy used possibly for something horrendous to compliment that douche’s need to build his ego with unnecessary violence? I’ve been in those situations in the past and in the past I DID stop and I’ve gotten punched or shoved or whatever. Yeah, okay, maybe I would be just as bad as he if I set his car on fire but GODDAMN it would feel good. I’m just doing my part in karma.

FOR ALL 5 PEOPLE WHO READ MY BLOG. WHAT DO YOU THINK? DO YOU HAVE ANY GOOD IDEAS? SUGGESTIONS? MOLOTOV COCKTAIL INSTRUCTIONS?

Black People are Beating White People in EVERYTHING! Cont’d!

black people swimming

Above: “Family film my ass, fuck you cracka assed cracka.”

black people pool

Above: Seriously, do black people even like swimming? I’ve never heard of it.

The new movie ‘Pride’ reminds us that black people are better than white people in sports. This time it’s swimming and like its predecessors (Bring it On, Cool Running, Glory Road, etc.) it reminds us of the struggle that black people have against racial inequality in America.

black people clapping

Above: Yay!

It’s weird that there are so many movies like this. I don’t claim to know what drives Hollywood to make these movies, but I’ll make my guess. I think there are definitely a lot of black people going to the movie theaters but not enough to warrant this continuous flow of films that revolve around this black versus white topic. White people must be buying tickets and watching these films.

Take Pride for instance - I don’t know what it’s about at all - but looking at the trailer I get the sense that it’s PG or PG-13 rated, a family film, and the underdog, the black swim team, will probably win in the end. Maybe white people are still subliminally guilty or cause Bernie Mac is funny with his funny way of speaking. Regardless, white people are going to these movies. Why? Maybe after watching the movie, the white family’s parents are thinking in their heads, “oh, what nice negroes, I’m glad they won out in the end cause it certainly was unfair back when there was slavery” (possibly not in those terms, OR possibly IN those terms).

FAMOUS ‘BLACK vs. WHITE’ FILMS

Bring it On

Bring It On - Cheerleading

Cool Running

Cool Runnings - Bobsledding

Glory Road

Glory Road - Basketball

Tiger Woods Career

Tiger Wood’s Career - Golf (It’s not even a movie, I know)

Star Wars

Star Wars - Lightsabering

You Got Served

You Got Served - Dancing

White Men Can’t Jump

Whte Men Can’t Jump - Basketball again, I guess

Lets not even look at the whole black versus white thing for a second. Maybe white people go watch this movie because of the storyline, which I assume is that there’s a black swim team and they don’t do very well in the beginning but later, up against something racial they amp up their efforts and bam win something or other (THE ULTIMATE SUPREME GRAND SWIM CHAMPIONSHIP FINALS). Hey, I like underdog movies, I thought ALI or ROCKY were both pretty good.

Actually, maybe I’m wrong altogether. There are probably a lot of black people giving their money to Hollywood and I just don’t know about it cause I really don’t do any research regarding these blog entries. Otherwise how can you justify Queen Latifah’s career or movies like Friday, Next Friday, Friday After Next or the whole Barbershop series (how many were there? 2? 3?). Finally another possibility pops up in my head and it’s just that black culture is so popular and there are a lot of white people who like it and go watch it. Again though, I feel like black culture is so popular less so because of the content of black culture but ultimately because white people are just still feeling kind of guilty. Eh, who cares? Was this entry racist? It’s okay, I have black friends. eh… go fuck yourself.

by the way…

Yahoo Answers

Here are the results to the Yahoo Answers Question that I posted:

Question:

Can you think of a movie where black people are better than white people in some sort of activity? sports etc.

Other than: the new movie PRIDE (swimming), You’ve got Served (dancing), Bring it On (Cheerleading) or just in general, being Tiger Woods.

Answers:

(just the funny ones - Yahoo Answers Members are pretty hilarious!)

1.) “Why? so you can steal more ideas from us like you have in the whole entire history of the world.”

2.) “no title having to deal with a life or a real time relationship”

3.) “The ‘ Boys in the Hood ‘. illustrates that blacks excel in stupidity. “

Black People are Beating White People in EVERYTHING!

First,

Go to my Yahoo Answers Question!

I’ve noted many-a-times, on my blog, how much I enjoy Yahoo Answers! For those of you new to my site (Thanks for visiting), Yahoo Answers is essentially a social site that allows members to ask and answer questions to gain points in some arbitrary point system. These points you get basically shows you how much time you’ve wasted. Anyway instead of answering questions as I always do, this time I’m ASKING a question. More on this later!

NIGO’s BATHING APE streetwear SWEAT SHOP photos!

These are great. I’ve been meaning to do some research on streetwear sweatshops. Look at these GREAT pictures that I found on the internet. Like a lot of things around the world, Streetwear! is mass produced, marketed as Limited Edition and then sold to idiots for upwards of USD$200 to gullible kids.

Yahoo Answers Part 6! This is a GOOD one!

Yahoo Answers

For you people out there on the internet who have never heard of Yahoo answers: it’s essentially a website that Yahoo hosts that let people ask and answer questions. It’s a whole big social thing and it’s great. You can read what people are asking and then give them either your opinion/comments or an answer. I personally like to answer them. Here we go.

Question:

Need help! what to get girlfriend for 30th birthday.?

its my girlfriends 30th birthday soon. i cant think of something to get her, any help would be great.

My Answer:

That’s pretty funny - the previous answer, “engagement ring.” F*ck that sh*t. Don’t do it, don’t take her answer seriously.

Okay, so she’s thirty, so what? I mean, yeah, get her a nice gift, get her a gift that says, yep, the big 3-0, congratulations for living this long and having done all the things that you’ve wanted to do in your life.

Or maybe not, maybe she hasn’t done all the things she wanted in her life. Maybe her dream job of starting up a little boutique in a middle to upper income suburban neighborhood, owning a house with a small front yard, having 2.5 kids and being part of the PTA just didn’t pan out because her boyfriend won’t commit. Why won’t he commit? Maybe he’ll never commit because this is the United States of America and that’s how men are, always stuck in this perpetual state of adolescents. Sure, he’ll bring me flowers once in a while and make me breakfast in bed, but guess what? Daffodils, eggs and sausages aren’t going to slow down that biological clock. Tick tock tick tock…

Can he really spend every weekend playing poker or going bowling with his buddies? Calling me right after at 3 A.M. all drunk and biligerent? Hey! XBOX360 is for 16 year old asian boys! Not 35 year old MEN still working part-time jobs, and I say JOBS because yeah ONE job is boring, he can’t commit, sure he’s 35 but he still wants to explore is CREATIVE side…

But I forgive him… I forgive him because he tells me how he loves me and wants to get married… oh yeah, he wants to get married, sure he does that son-of-a-b*tch. He wants to get married as much as he wants to pour hot scalding water over head… because that’s what I want to do. That’s what I want to do if he doesn’t bend down on one knee next Saturday and take out a ring.

WHOOPS, I just went into a tangent, accidentally taking on third person and then shifting into first person perspective. Anyway, I recommend you get her one of those Sharper Image Ionic Breeze Air Purifiers or, I guess, do take that woman’s advice and DO get her an engagement ring. I don’t know

Good luck with that! I hope that helped.
