Love in this Club. Usher.

it took some research but I finally got it. Usher is making a comback.



Not so much with the remix though.

sex and the weekend

ok, I could potentialy regret this post...but for you ladies and/or the man or two who has watched enough episodes of Sex and the City to know that Carrie (once a cheater always a cheater) Bradshaw got excatly what she deserved when she cheated with Mr Big...not that I would know.....

I have stumbled upon the official Sex and the City the Movie theme song. With a small resemblance to the tv show theme, Fergie delivers yet another shallow rendition of a song colored with count downs (1,2,3) , talking bits and repetition.



Now onto a weekend filled with manly things....like wrestling bears and providing for my family. Me man. Me make fire.

Peace.

bad ass movie poster. check.

my question is...who doesnt want to see this movie? Aw-aw-aw-aw-awesome. If you dont...your probably a fascist.

Go home fascist.

press firmly for 30 seconds.

And this may win the award for bad ideas in 2008. A tattoo of your skin being ripped away, to reveal the Spider man outfit underneath.

I wonder how long he thought about this before he got it done. He obliviously didn't run it by....say a minority. I would have told him to step away from the situation. Look at it objectively. For the rest of his life he will have this tattoo. Its not like they can turn it into anything else. This....is stupid.

He clearly should've gotten Super Man.

welcome back tv.

just as the year seemed to be getting bleaker, my very favorite of favoritest tv shows have reemerged from the dark depths of writers strike/IHOP (?).

Real World 20- Hollywood: I know that technically, I may be a little too old to still be watching this show, but the casting this season is so on the money, that you would be doing yourself a great disservice not to at least set your DVR to record this show, and watch it at your conveninece. I think since Real World Key West, the show has kinda been on a decline. Producers were trying too hard to cast people for the sake of drama, and everyone knows that the best drama produces itself. This season...has the potential to be genius. Real World is back. They decided to take a side step to current gays in tv trend (gotta have a gay person in our show, it the in thing to do) and instead opted to put 2 black guys in the house (one to many if you ask me). One of them was apparently voted into the house by online fans...he refers to people as "peasants" and walks around the house in a full robe and pajama set. Very classy. We are only two episodes in and the southern belle (who reminds me alot of my Texan roommate's friends) has already called the black-like girl "ghetto" and will go down in history, in my book for saying that said "ghetto" girl was from BLACK-ville. Remember when you were on national TV being a ignorant/racist? Oh, btw.....the black-like "ghetto" girl is....a stripper in real life. Oh....and my favorite....Joey from the Chi. He has some serious emotional issues....deep, deep inside. He is an angry drunk and a cryer. Please, please, please look at this clip below. Im telling you...Joey is the star player this season. This is going to be a good f*ckin season. I'm in love already.

In other news...30 Rock is back and so is The Office. Gladiator is returning in mid May. And LOST is back. Last nights episode was real real good. The smoke monster is back. I've only been alluding to this dude for 3 years before the writers decided to tie him back into the plot. And apparently, the smoke monster does favors. You give him a phone call, and he..it wackes people...with the quickness. After an hour, I was left baffled and confused...but at least some loose ends were tied up. Some character were offed, so we wont be forced to set through there boring back stories. And Ben...is pretty bad ass. ANTM is winding down. We are at the top 5, and the big girl model is still around. They are slowly but surely making good decisions about who to kick off the show, but there needs to be a rule...transvestites can no longer be allowed. I mean, yeah, it was funny at first, but this man-woman is still on the show. And I would also like to bring the following to table...I think Tyra's head is getting a little too gassed up. I understand that you did some things Tyra. But...your just a model...correction, you were a model. Your are not changing the world, you are taking pictures. Leave the tude at home fatty. Just be nice. Your not Diddy, just be regular and not a b*tch.

And now, for the finale.....the new member to my weekly line-up. Hell's Kitchen. Talk about mindless entertainment. The premise...this "famous Chef"...Chef Ramsey (who is a Brit, go figure), is running this kitchen were he on a weekly basis challenges a bunch of cooks, and kicks the weak link off at the end. So basically it is like every elimination reality show ever made, except...Chef Ramsey don't take no sh*t. He is a complete asshole. And the contestants....really, really suck. So those two factors combined make up an hour of yelling and screaming, horrible commercial break outros and sexism. It's fun. It ridiculous. And at in end...you too can be a "famous chef." Ummmmm, riiiigggghhhhht.....

thesbian trees and the IRS in drag.

throwback Thursdays presents a 2 for one. Star of choice...Wesley Snipes in If White Man cant Jump then Black Men Cant Pay Taxes. (without Rosie Perez)

So apparently filing your taxes is a BIG THING. Like 3 years in prison, a big thing. Wesley apparently hasn't filed his taxes since....errrr 1998. And it has finally caught up to him. Yesterday he received a 3 year sentence, even after cutting the IRS a check for 5 mill on the spot.

"There is no secret formula that eliminates a person's tax obligations, nor are there any special exceptions," said the IRS spokes machine. "The majority of Americans pay their taxes timely and accurately. Those who willfully violate the law must be held accountable."

Ok IRS. Here is the deal. I understand the situation, But apparently, you are not fully aware of what Mr Snipes has done for America in the mean time. He has literally saved the world with his bare hands, has at least on three accounts (dont know what her does with his spare time) brought down demon night creatures with his Blade of fury and bloody vengeance, and most of all...he looks fierce in a heel.

*ummmmmmm, I use to love this movie as a kid. That's our little secret. 1995.

The best part about this is that Snipes' celebrity friends are really supporting him. Actors Denzel Washington,Woody Harrelson, television judges Joe Brown and Greg Mathis. They all have his back. Almighty Dnezel said, " he (Snipes) is like a tree -- a mighty oak ... Many who know him have witnessed the fruit of his labors, have sat in his shade and even been protected by his presence. I am proud of him, proud to call him a fellow thespian and most importantly, proud to call him a friend."

Lol...what? Ok Denzel. Are you sure your not dipping into the kool aid.

Homecoming. Kanye West.

So, I am up for BET late night...catching up on my hip hop needs and wants.

I really do hate Kanye...but he is a talent, and he makes interesting videos.
HEYYYYOOOO! Chicago! 

Let me assure you that I know nothing of the hood...but me and Lake Michigan go way back. I feel just a little famous.

side hustle.

you cant say that this blog is not gender friendly. Here....some tips, to make...well, extra tips. 

*please note...do not start "working the pole"  to pay for school. Its a sure way to a set profession.

Love,

job security.

today is take your son and daughter to work day at my "job."

unfortunately there will probably be little to no blogging today (try not to cry in public), but the good news is....I do have alot to talk about....from the new Real World to the cosmos beyond.

Whereas last year, take your son and daughter to work day was more like , "drop your kid off with the temp, Shaun day." This year promises to be a triumphant "Shaun you've been in the exact same place doing the exact same crappy thing" day.

That's a year folks....count it up. And what better way to celebrate than to watch a bunch of rich kids?!?
Narf.

Alicia Keys. Teenage Love Affair.

Good song...I wouldnt have picked it for a video. There are tons of better songs on the album. Like the one they played during the break...makes you do the thinking man and just start boppin.

Still, I do like school daze.

"I got no preference" sinage.

denim geek.

to assure that Nerds everywhere are always wearing pants designer Erik De Nijs has made these lovely pair of trouser call "the Beauty and the Geek” jeans.

What would a ridiculous contraption be, without some ridiculous quotes to go with it?

"These 'modern shaped trousers which are often worn by youngsters..' are the perfect solution for Googling quick exits while running from the fashion police."

"Built into the knees are a pair of crotch rocking speakers, around the back you have the added convenience of a back pocket for your "mouse", and for you gamers, there is a joystick controller located just behind the front zipper."

Avoiding the joystick penis joke completely (because I'm "mature")...I don't think I have ever seen an item that allows a stranger to point out nerdiness so vividly and completely. Pocket protectors....fanny packs....glasses (NEEEERRRDDD alert) all, are subpar. Let me see someone on the street with these. They'll probably be busy hacking into the pentagon useing code or playing Dungeons and dragons or something.
I'll be forced to give them a wedgie.

suicidal kids.

"Its the end of the world without it."

Chupa Chups (lollipops)

Ok, there is no real message....or target, but these are so funny. I laughed out loud at the shot of milk and the teddy bartender.

Who knew South Africans had such a keen sense of humor?

gets me off.

It seems like the Office of Government Commerce in UK missed a little something when they approved this clean typographic logo. Do me a favor (its totally worth it)-look at the logo and tilt your head 90 degrees counter clockwise. Have you been enlightened? If not, your probably retarded.

To the discovery, the OGC spokesperson replied, "The new identity has been extremely well received, as it presents a very clean, uncluttered and modern identity."

Indeed...the five knuckle shuffle is always "well received."

I swear...designers get away with murder. In this case...baby murder (ewww rough joke).

closer to god.

Riddle of the day?
Helium balloons. A Catholic priest. Brazil. And bright ideas. What do they all have in common?

I swear I come up with ideas like this all the time. I mean, they usually occur somewhere between my 5th and 8th glass of Shiraz on a Friday night as Im scarfing down cheese puffs and watching reruns of Family Matters...but let it be known, that there was no Divine inspiration involved in this holy mishap.

"The Rev Adelir Antonio de Carli lifted off from the port city of Paranagua on Sunday afternoon, wearing a helmet, thermal suit and a parachute.
The smiling 41-year-old priest was strapped to a seat attached to a huge column green, red, white and yellow balloons, and soared into the air to the cheers of a crowd.
He was reported missing about eight hours later after losing contact with port authority officials."

The best part of this story is that they still havn't found him. GPS and all. And this was all done to raise money for an orphanage or something. Apparently, having a bake sale wasnt enough?

His first mistake was trying this little venture out in Brazil. Of all places, Brazil would be the last on my list for anything, but a Brazilian bikkini wax. Oh, and Brazilian pants. Also, this whole thing sort of reminds me of the episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark with the clown's nose ("The Tale of Laughing in the Dark"). I don't know why?

Well, here are my theories on what happened to Rev Antonio:
1. Alien Abduction (obviously)
2. God Abduction...God literally plucked him out of the sky.
3. He is trapped on a deserted island that doesn't really exist, and there are polar bears on it, and a smoke monster...and the rest of the cast of LOST. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if this all wasn't a elaborate hoax from abc for the show return this Thursday or....JJ Abrams (the mind manipulator).

4. Ummmmm, he is dead.

I bet he wished he had just made some brownies right about now.

*shout out to anonymous for putting me up on this story. Anonymous = someone who is too lazy to type in thier name, when they leave a comment. But they are still good people. Holler!
