| "Wii" will see...It's May y'all. Warmer weather, pollen, allergies, making summer plans and E3!!!! "What's E3?", you say? The Electronic Entertainment Expo!!! It's in LA and it's an event exclusive to gaming industry insiders. Unfortunately, I won't be there to witness technological heaven, but you can be sure that I will have my ear to the streets. My TV will stay on the G4 network and my laptop will stay logged into IGN's website. I want all the news. All of it.
Speaking of news, did you hear what Nintendo has finally decided to call its new system? It has thus far been referred to as its codename, "Revolution." However, this week, Nintendo dropped a bomb right before E3 and announced that the console will officially be called "Wii." Pronounced "we." Ain't that some isht?! They explain the logic behind the name at the official Wii website and they issued the following statement:
Introducing... Wii.
As in "we."
While the code-name Revolution expressed our direction, Wii represents the answer. Wii will break down that wall that separates videogame players from everybody else. Wii will put people more in touch with their games... and each other. But you're probably asking: What does the name mean?
Wii sounds like "we," which emphasizes the console is for everyone. Wii can easily be remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak. No confusion. No need to abbreviate. Just Wii.
Wii has a distinctive "ii" spelling that symbolizes both the unique controllers and the image of people playing it. And Wii, as a name and a console, brings something revolutionary to the world of videogames that sets it apart from the crowd.
So that's Wii. But now Nintendo needs you. Because it's really not about you or me. It's about Wii. And together, Wii will change everything.
--end statement--
I presonally am not used to it yet, but "Wii" will see what they whip up at the expo. I can't wait!
Stay tuned. | | |

GETTIN' DOWN TO BUSINESS IN HOT-LANTA
Just gettin in from ATL. I was there on my very first business trip. Who knew? Work was cool and all. My company's Atlanta offices are crazy sick compared to the hardline corporate structure of the offices here. I felt like I was in one of the houses on Real World. My amazement quickly faded with all the meetings I had scheduled. It seemed endless. I was also amazed that I was staying in the Four Seasons at the very same time as Fat Joe! Entourage and all! Seeing him and his people throwing their X's up and causing havoc on the hotel staff eliminated any traces of my feeling homesick.
Didn't care much for the city overall though. Perhaps it was because I was there on business, but I did get to check out a few spots. They weren't any different from anything NYC has to offer but then again, NYC is tough to compete with. Did that come off as ego-centric as it sounds?
Would you believe the airline lost my luggage when I got there? Yup. I called my boss as soon as I got to my hotel and she told me to get to any clothing store and buy something to wear for the next day. It would of course be expensed to the company so you know a brotha was gonna shop. It was already 9:30pm and the only place open was Target which closed at 10pm. You better believe I sped down Peachtree Street and in 15 minutes I had my essentials all on the counter like ducks in a row. Pants and shirt, underwear, socks, t-shirts, lotion (Aveeno with Cooling Menthol because I don't play when it comes to skin care), shampoo, soap and all that.
That's all folks, didn't really intend to post but I just needed an excuse to throw Cassidy and Mary J. on my xanga. "...you can't knock the hustle baby... see I got my mind right, I'mma stay on the grind, I'mma put my work in get in where I fit in cuz I HUSTLE! N*gga aks about me." | | |

Is it me or did this week CRAWL by? Work seemed endless and you know what? You didn't hear this from me because frankly, I hate office gossip, but the girl that sits next to me literally broke down and cried because of deadlines and this asshole of a client she was dealing with. Where were the cameras when you needed them? That was some Apprentice-type shit, I tell you. It's sort of oxymoronic, but who knew advertising was that deep? However, as with everything else in life, there is ALWAYS a silver lining and that, my friends, is the long weekend! 3 days off coupled with my latest purchase of Sony's Playstation Portable (PSP) made the last few days ALL worthwhile.
Yes, it is totally juvenile that I still find excitement in video games, but let me tell you, the PSP is hardly for little kids. It's like having a full media center in your pocket. It plays movies, stores photos and music, and all that on a built-in mini widescreen display and stereo sound speakers. I am truly amazed and can't believe that I own such technological perfection.
All righty, it's time to get my "Thursday-that-feels-like-a-Friday" night on. Drinks? A movie? A lounge? The possibilities are endless! Is my PSP fully charged up yet? | | |
| IT'S LIKE THAT Y'ALL
Happy New Year folks! Yes, it's 2005--- another year to make and break promises (or resolutions as some of you may call them) to yourselves and to the people in your lives. The gym is packed this week and will be that way for another 2 weeks or so until the folks who started going this week, give up and wait until late April to get right for the summer. This ain't Kanye's Workout Plan, though. Consistency is the trick and it's not even a trick, you feel me?
In other news, Mariah's new single "It's Like That" is just the funniest little song. The beat is stupid hot, but sounds a lot like J-Kwon's "Tipsy." What makes the song so funny is the lyrical content. In the first verse she exclaims, "Purple takin' me higher, I'm lifted and I like it." Are you kidding me, Mariah? Where did you get your hands on some purple? Do you even know what to do with it?
In the next verse she says, "Them chickens is ash and I'm lotion." That line alone had me on the floor for a few minutes. Overall this track will probably do well in the clubs, but I think the spot for "Leave all your drama/problems at the door because you're in the club now having a good time" as a lead single for a new album has already been filled by Mary J. Blige's "Family Affair." Am I right, or is that just hateration?
Alright, ashy chickens. It's time for this smooth lotioned dude to get his Saturday night started. Now where'd I put the remote and that package of ramen noodles? | | |
