something that was stumbled across. Interesting, since all this madonna talk is going on right now.

Welp back to day 14 straight of work, my eyes hurt :-(

it's 7.42 in the am

and i'm sipping coffee and re-encoding (the second time thanks to issues with the program and intel macs) movies to watch on my psp on my way to work. I was looking throught the news and noticed that school shootings are back in vogue for crazy mofos which has always irked me because if your going to do some sort of crime don't you want it to be a your signature? of course i'm not saying go kill random school kids but to follow in any act is even more disturbing then just coming up with some crazy shit by yourself. regardless killing is wrong and if you feel that frustrated and depressed it is better to off yourself in creative ways then to force someone out of the game of life who wasn't planning on retiring.

it's been a long time (c) Rakim

my life is been crazy the last couple of months, a LOT of changes (some great, some..eh..well.. changes) and the overflow of info was kinda hard to type out since the confusion that surrounds that amount of change can be rather soul draining but i'm back... yeah, your saying "riiight" but really i'm back and typing from my malcolm x mackbook on the quietness that could only be a sunday morning with rain falling outside. i've been working long grueling hours lately and even plan to do so today, i can't really put my finger on where i've been all this time but this post was simply to hop back on the horse per se but i'll be back later....

Ghana: the new breed of Bitch

soccer's - World Cup - U.S. fails to advance with loss to Ghana

Today, is a sad day, a day in which i am sadden that the country that invented the soccer version of high octane bitches managed to beat the US.  The pain is worse when biased by the fact that sweden has moved on (though like ghana) to an ass whipping..

I must say that I have never seen a team that spent that much time on the ground in my entire life.  I hope the medics were working on a per player basis because this bitches spent half the game getting carried out by the medical staff.

oh, kay... i shall close my mouth about this right about....

prostitution elevated

Hookers on Stilts

oh this reminds me, today i WILL find some USA gear for the game tonight vs Ghana.  wifey is going for ghana... wifey=enemy

if you are from ghana and a male please email me so that i can link you with soon to be the ex mrs. l

thank you.

Wikipedia-ish jokes?

And You're So Funny? Write My Script - New York Times

don't quite know how well this is going to work out but i'm game and will follow dude's sites for about a week or so to see.

i've been watching mad documentaries lately: Unforgivable Blackness (the Jack Johnson story), Mark Twain and the Civil War -- kinda on a Ken Burn's thingy lately and all the happier about it.  between you and i, i'm beginning to think that wifey isn't as happy about having to sit though some of these (being that english isn't her first language and all and europeans lack context of any sort in these matters). we also watched the Their Eyes are Watching God in which they sucessfully ruined my all time favorite book... eff it i dont' even want to talk about it.

now to try and train myself to get up at 3am to watch the heat lose to the mavs, yeah i'm hating so what?

U.S. 1, ITALY 1: Short-handed U.S. slugs out draw vs. Italy

After hearing abnormal amoutn of shullbit about the US sucks from all manner of people I'm feeling kinda lovely right now with the tie last night though we were short changed in the people department thus bringing us to Ghana and a must win situation.

It's not like I know a damn thing about soccer or anything.

Nerd iddish but I'm saying Flock is the truth

TechCrunch » Blog Archive » Flock Raises New Venture Round, Launches Public Beta

had a bad dream and woke the hell up after 3 hours of sleep, very rare for me (dreams most would consider bad aren't even an issue to me).  So I'm wide awake and click on tailrank to see a post about Flock the new Mozilla based browsers (like firefox).  i downloaded an alpha version a while a go but it didn't have import features and fell off quickly, though it seemed a little faster than firefox, so FF won again.   This time everything and then more was there -- like the fact that i'm doing this blog via flock instead of having to sign into blogger.  anyhoo, the suggestion is to try it out and see what you think about it.  At least i can update my blog more with this.

Other quick news items -- besides being in looooove with arielle (who is now a month old) it looks like i might have a decent job (which i find out tomorrow).  i went to london for an extended weekend and fell in love.  next stop paris or amsterdamn and i have a nice little list to work on.  maybe i'm tired now, more to come.  hopefully tomorrow brings great news, please.  did i mention my RE:Love with my PSP?

okay, i fell off BUT

i've doing an abnormal amount of ish lately to which i owe my previously blog-nes-tivity at least a couple of posts to catch up with. I *heart* london btw.

more to come soon and i will rock out those posts this week.

it's a girl!

lot's of things have been happening lately but i'll get into that in the next post but i just wanted to drop by and say that chris and gabby had a beautiful baby girl yesterday (on my grandfather's 92nd bday). on my way to meet her and looking forward to it, i like her already :-D

this new phantom outkast song is killing me

i got an email this morning, very bright and early, saying "THE NEW OUTKAST SINGLE!!!" so i looked for the mp3 but nothing. this has been my obsession (along with a host of other people it seems). in case you didn't know it seems that v103.3 in ATL played it for their top 8 at 8 in all 8 spots last night. somehow, in 2006, NO ONE RIPPED, TAPED, MEMORIZED IT AND MIMICICED THEIR VOICES at all. so this song is now heading toward phantom stages and it's only been out for less that 24 hours. if you have it send it to me at LOQuent@gmail.com.

okay but to clicking refresh and rechecking tailrank, limewire and netnewswire...

argh.

*edit*

got it last night from a bad quality radio rip. the song's name is "Mighty O". Dre ripped it, killed it even. I feel like it's '88 with a tape with the hissin'. all smiles. can't wait for the good quality version.

4:30 am: sun is shining each and everyday

you know how people wonder about how it is to have the sun pop up at abnormally early times? well sweden 'blessed' me with not having to wonder because that bamma pops up at abnormally early times which results in me waking up at painfully early times with no chance of returning to la la land. irritating.

fell asleep on the couch, again, but went to peek in on wifey -- i happen to enjoy watching her sleep she's so quiet... :-D anyhoo, peeked in and noticed that she's sleeping sideways in the bed. this is a problem for your truly since she has seemed to enjoy trespassing on my side of the bed since we got a new bed. this bed's predecessor was a small bed not made for a non vertically challenged man. i would get leg cramps on the ex-bed because i couldn't stretch out, not to mention it had some crap at the end so i couldn't even let my feet go over the edge. soooo, we buy a new bed only for wifey to decide that sleeping up and down wasn't for her and that sidways motion was were it's at. now when i'm in the bed i feel her *adjusting* herself until she's damn near kicking me off the bed. i'm thinking she's reliving her soccer glory days, but that's just me. this is not a good thing i've been considering an electric fence between us to correct this malfunction. we'll see.

my pistons lost last night to the bucks. we were nice enough to allow them a playoff win so they should be thankful.

welp back to God of War

tanya morgan - we be

yes sir let me know what you think and remember you heard about them first here on ldef.

as 30 leaves

my last hour in my 30th year. i've decided that from here on out i'll simply say '30+' cause i'm not feeling the 31. in fact, i'm pretty upset that for the first time in my life i'm not über amped about my birthday... oh well.

wifey's parents and nephew were here for east (since thursday to be exact) and left today. i swear her dad works more when he's here then at work and since he's not the "delegate" type person he ends up doing most of the work while he's here. now one could say that i'm the man of the apartment and all but i'm man enough to let another man do the job if he can do a better job. he built his whole house so i feel right to assume that he's the equivalent of a surgeon in these matters. regardless the balcony got a new floor, the bathroom a new light (i actually did a hefty amount on that one, which i'm rather proud of), the kitchen tiles were worked on etc. dude killed it. the nephew, as always, was the truth -- though he could work on him peeing aim game more than a little because a man should not have to use a whole bottle of ajax spray cleaner in a weekend. just saying.

oh, i'm pleasantly surprised with fishscale at the moment.

what's in the news? the guy in the proof death situation died, sad another life lost and they were both grown ass men in something so seemingly senseless.

tom cruise supposedly wants to eat a placenta with an umbilical desert... *dry heave*

i wonder if bush will ever let go of 'ol rummy..

eff it i have 30 mins and don't feel like seeing 30+ unless it's light outside.

RIP Proof

a swedish tabloid newspaper reports that Proof was the victim of Detroit's Hip Hop War... i sure do love that they have the inside scoop on shit that no one else has. it's a sad day when someone dies and it's simply an "intrigue piece".

i can think of better things to do with my money

this was a brand new powerbook and this dude ran over it, hit it with a sledgehammer and tried to blow it up-- his great news???

it still works...

though i must live by 'whatever floats your boat.." this would be a great argument for legalized prostitution.

dear white people,

i have locs and if the urge were to move you to want to tell me that i look like (fill in blank with random black guy with locs)________ don't...


last night i was told that i look like will.i.am of my number 1 most hated group of sell outs, the black eye pea-bitches.

idiots.

bill gates' office

now maybe it's just me but if your the richest man in the world one would assume that your office would look a little less, bland?

so apple finally did it

they just released a patch so that windows can run on intel based macs. personally i don't have a problem with them running the obviously inferior windows OS but the problem i have is that it seems like it's supposed to be a selling point for people to buy macs. my personal assessment is that if you don't get it you just don't get it. apple is a business and improving on the bottom line is fine but why not try and strong arm the comp by taking some of their market share away by offering what they can't. eh, but that's just me and my opinion.

now if they could come out with the next gen ipod video so i can dream freely again.
