i'm starting not to like kids

i still like babies and who can hold a grudge against any kid that still wears a built in toilet system but the ones that know better? not a fan. 'specially now. winter showed up rather late and put a nice layer of snow down which is relaxing to offset the sun's winter heroin addiction. well, when i'm in between Gears of War online matches I'll grab a smoke on the balcony. the snow that i see from the balcony has been well preserved and it looks like a perfectly iced cake (something i find relaxing and appreciate). today i headed out to gaze intently on my two week obsession when what do you know? some kids, ran though the snow messing that perfect area up. hence my dislike. i keep checking my weather widget to see when it's going to snow again in hopes that it's enough to cover up those little bastards footprints....

clearly

last night stopped over a friend of mine's house to check out his 42 inch plasma tv with the 360 hooked up to it... uh.. it kinda fucked it up for me once i got home and angrily stared at my tv. of course without a job the concept of actually getting one isn't even an ideal i can throw around BUT i am allowed to be damn irritated.

it was soooo, beautiful and it had these lights in the back (that I originally though were just there like 80's electronics stuff), these light light up depending on what's going on on the screen and it's perfection.

edit-tation

oh-kay i was was abnormally wrong on my original view of NBA 2k7. To put it bluntly i was dead friggin wrong, it's the dopest sports game that i've ever played, period.

i accept that my perfection needs some type of fine tuning, from time to time to maintain it's nirvana and this was was on those times.....

oh lost my job today, kinda a downer but in some ways.. well i'm staying positive and über focused... more later.

stay black.. or white.. or asian.. or whatever the hell you are.

happy turkey day people

i got xbox 360'ed up today with 2k7 (not impressed going back tomorrow) though the xbox IS impressive so it's fluffy smiley faces over here. what's your tgday looking like in your direction? i am now going to bed, downloading demos on here is hella slow btw.

Grandma's got a gun

Sadly this revolutionary 92 year old grandma died after shots from the man but she did put 3 of them into the hospital, which is saying something for someone born in 1914.


In other news the fact that there is no Thanksgiving seems to put Swedes & Americans at a lost.... why in the fuck would swedes celebrate thanksgiving here? why would swedes wonder when 'their' thanksgiving is? as i've stated before, repeatedly, i DO NOT celebrate it in the historical context but in the family, food, beer and football manner -- making it my all time second favorite holiday AFTER my birthday (which hopefully will go into world wide recognition by next year).

the "kramer" thing is a moot point to me, at this point, though one must wonder what in the flying fuck this dude was on to go on & on & on like that. Can't Truss 'Em (c) P.E.

TriForce

While keeping abreast of the PS3 and Wii release this weekend, hey it's interesting and the PS3 won't be here till March (bastards). I came across a story about the first guy in line for the Wii in New York's Time Square who legally changed his name to Triforce. In the article the mentioned that he's 29 years old and I immediately pictures a white dude who lived with his mom (i'm saying where in the flying hell would a grown as man have freed money and time to pull off standing in line for a week to buy video games?) I also assumed, as most would, that the closest thing to sex he ever had was that banned part in GTA. I was wrong. Very wrong. Dude is black, married (lives in my beloved Harlem no less)and has traveled the globe playing video games. He has a gamer's collective called the Empire of Arcadia which in considered one of the best in the world AND MTV did a mini documentary on him and his collective.... Besides legally changing his name to Triforce (sorry but that's an L) I actually respect dude and apologize cyber-ly to him being the butt of my monday morning jokes along with THIS guy.

as my british coworker said: only in america

refusing to forget

my parents died on the 15th of November 1981 as a result of a car accident in which my brother and I were in. I wasn't hurt bad but my little brother, David, died from his injuries on the 25th of November. I was six. Instead of tell the whole drawn out story about how I never cried (because there was no one to cry to, at least that's the way I saw it at the time). I simply want to remember them... it gets harder and harder all the time. I remember when I felt this cold feeling when I realized that I couldn't remember my mom's voice anymore or my brother's. Contrary to popular belief I'm actually not as depressed as one would think about it, it's something that I've existed with all of my life so it's really not that strange but there are backlashes to it that pop up from time to time. I won't have them there for anything in my life from marriage to having a child. My future children won't have grandparents. I don't really have anyone to call and release to, in a real sense of the word, I kinda never let down my guard because of that. On the other hand I'll never have to worry about my parents growing old, having medical problems and eventually dying. The 15th of November is also the birthday of my 'little sister' Carla who was killed along with my best friend in 1999. I used to always tell her how much I hated her birthday... now I really do. I can remember her well though and it's easier to place pieces of her in my memory banks to save because I know what you forget. Anyway, I'm sitting here at work remembering them... like i said, i'm not depressed simply refusing to forget...

reading for your educational pleasure

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
