if being a Guitar Hero is too stressful.

Click the picture.

something is a little strange on the west coast.


Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
About the new 90210 on CW.

Im all for diversifying and such. But there is a sense of tv  actuality that  the old 90210 had. 

Im not saying that a kid from Baltimore working the corners to support his little brother whilst avoiding his crackhead dad, couldnt magically get up and move to Beverly Hills to become the token. 
But I am saying, that its kind of unlikely.

Think....85 thousand seasons of Friends with only two african american sightings in the village of nyc... unlikely.

I know its 2008 and network tv tries really hard to be PC. But an african american with a leading role in a drama set in Beverly Hills. Come one........I've seen Clueless already. Im thinking the first series didnt have a token black guy for a reason.

I guess, I just like my tv dramas to have a small dose of reality. So sue me!

need a little courage?



i miss running soooo much. damn you nike.

fashion ads.

here are some fashion ads i found over at ibelieveinadvertising that actually have some conceptual thinking behind them. No T&A. No obscure underfed overpaid models glaring at us with the intensity that makes you feel bad about the jr whopper you had for lunch. A line. And an execution.

Line: Goodbye Innocence.

SHS is the place you go to skank up your kids. The only thing that bothers me here is that both pictures are laid out the exact same way. Its like taking the first 2 steps but falling short at the leap.

a good psa. whaaaaaaaaa.

i want it: spidey munny.

i want this spiderman munny so bad. i'll do anything for it.....anything.

kool street art.

Ive been trying to post these for weeks. Some street art from Scott Van Den Plas. 
Here's a point of reference, just incase you dont get it (are a little slow).



So clever.

blogging.

so, to be honest, i stole that John Voight quote from evilbeet.com. She is a cute little celeb gossip blogger and had some opinions about what Johnny boy said. She recieved a wopping 57 comments....some in agreeance (not a word), some in disagreeance(also not a word), some...just plain mean. And i feel, that over the last 15 minutes of reading....that I jusy learned alot about humanity in general.

I think you should read all of them aswell (if you have the time), you'll expereince every emotion known to man. Here is a little back and forth between 2 commentors that truly stuck out. Enjoy.

d.: I don’t recall there being much protest when multiple celebrities have shown their support for Obama or many other liberal causes. But when someone indicates their support for conservative causes, all of a sudden there are demands that celebrities should keep their mouths shut.

I may not agree completely with
Voight but it’s good to know that not everyone is drinking Obama’s Kool-Aid.


Johns no longer here: Meerkat,lala,Deb,imustsay and Snowdevil. All ignorant, misinformed and moronic tools.
Read, learn and understand facts before you open your mouths in public. Your commentary just exposes your sheer stupidity. You are wasting all of our air. Get your shit together, or give it back. You’re doing nothing for civilization by being alive at this point. Seriously. If you can’t see the blatant
schmuckery of voight’s commentary, you are helpless. Expressing your opinion is fine and dandy. This is not what’s happened here. If you can’t see that, please just stop fuckin’ ur favorite family member and walk slowly into the deep blue sea.

Fuck!


d.:JohnsNoLongerHere -

Your post is absolutely hilarious!! I love how you exhort others to read and learn and then you write a post that contains fragments (not sentences), misspellings and curse words, not to mention demands for others to kill themselves.

You’
ve convinced me: you’re a genius.

d.



johnsnolongerhere:
Meerkat : Suck my left nut you irrelevant little schmuck.

lala: Sweetness, if you only knew who I was or what I make…….
Your comments kind of prove my point about the level of
fucktard on this board today. You all live to break-out the ol’ “they raise axes” angle. If you take a moment to read something not written by Sean Hannity here and there, you’ll notice the economic mess your elected douchebags keep leaving the country in when they’re finally driven out. Is there still a human being left that hasn’t accepted that our current figure-head’s administration has put us deep in the shitter?? Really? Seriously. C’mon now.


d. : Spelling and grammar angle? Really? That’s how you’re going to chime in? That’s your snap-back? You silly little thing. You just sit back and wait ’til you’re a big, healthy capital letter!


d:JohnsNoLongerHere -
John - listen: do yourself a favor and learn how to make your point in a coherent fashion and without vulgarity. I’m serious. You make yourself sound very low class and thoughtless. I’m fairly confident that you are desperate to appear otherwise.

d.


P.S. And yes, you DO need to mind your spelling.



johnsnolongerhere:
d.
Um, first, fuck off you dirty whore.
Second, your perception is quite retarded if you got the impression that I’
ve been concerned w/how I come off. Duh. Go back and re-read my flowing words. You’ll see I was actually insulting a person or two.
Again. Scurry off you little rascal. Daddy needs a warm place to put his……..ahem….hand.




Soooooo....can you guys please promise me that you will never get this over zealous about any of my post topics? Its scary.

That's all.

political ads.

And you knew I would post this- McCain's new anti-Obama campaign that hacks at Obama's popularity. In this particular spot John ( i feel i know him personally now), compares Obama adoration to that of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears.


Hey...if you cant be popular yourself, make fun of the other person's popularity. There is a word for kids like that in high school. F*cking losers. This strategy reeks of desperation. How come no one is telling him that this is a bad idea? And does anyone know the agency that made this spot? I would never work there (unless is was DDB NY, lol).

Ambient Alice.

now this, is a warning sign.

you couldnt pay me to touch said equipment.

Banks grows up.

You had to know this was coming. There is only so much time that one can try to regularly create throwback blog posts reminiscent of the better times. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

This show is partially responsible for who I am today, an its influence on culture cannot be argued. I have never met a person who did not know the lyrics to the opening song, and/or sang it on a yellow school bus on the way to a class field trip simultaneously harassing as many trucks as possible with the obnoxious yet rigorous "air pull" performed to force a honk. The result...ecstatic joy.

But this...my friends, is not a blog solely about the show. Its about a single character. And its not Will Smith, he gets way too much press on his own (he doesn't need my blog to hype him up). Its about the adorable co-co-star, Tatyana Ali. " ASHLEY BANKS. Actress" and "singer," she is back on the scene with a new show. Dont ask me what the show is called....but what I do know about, is the hot new spread of the upcoming issue of King magazine and the sexy spread she is in....





I guess this Throwback Thursday is more for me.....

But, for all of our recollection. I classically think of her as looking like this. But she is also known for this little piece of magic that I may or may not have had the double sided cassette tape to in the early 90s
.
yea...that's the 90s alright. lol

Ok, im off....



PS Ali went to Harvard (the rich man's community college where everyone graduates with honors). As a Boston collegiate alum myself, I heard through a friend of a friend that she was a big weed head in college. Like never went to class, but smoked all day weed head--as if there are any other type...lol. Just thought I'd share.

just like umbrellas.



its not often that i can find a celeb nip slip with clothing on. But rhianna is of a special breed and has pulled it off well. 

Cha ching. You can thank me later.

rappers delight.

im sure that everyone has atleast heard about the controversial song by rapper Ludacrs that hails Obama as the next president but simultaneously slanders the names of Hillary Clinton, Bush and McCain. Its some pretty heavy stuff. While some may ask "what the f*ck was Ludacris thinking," others literally blame Obama for the song. 

::Cough:: FOX ::Cough::



So, Sean Hannity & Co... basically...you are saying that Obama emailed Ludacris the lyrics to that song? Or are you saying that the next political leader should not endorse a rapper or in anyway shape or form have dealings with the hip-hop culture? No, no, I get it now...I think your trying to say that Obama should be a psychic and/or be able to time travel into the future to so he can pick and choose his associates before hand by their future actions.

Come on now. This is just shameful.
