| EDIT: I just found this new song on youtube by Akon TI Rick Ross Fat Joe Baby & Lil Wa - We Takin' Over. This could be the first hotness of the year. And it's only sorta ok. But at least it's a start. [end of edit]
I've always been what I consider to be a hip hop aficionado, and I always have tried to keep up with the latest beats and trends. And I've been fairly sad that since I've left the states, I haven't had the chance to indulge in the latest beats of 2007.
So tonight I ventured onto the all the hottest radio stations (mainly hot97 and yes, I checked kiisfm's site for its latest hip hop, but i also went on billboard.com), and checked out what the hottest jamz are of the day.
o. m. g.
If today's collection of music is a reflection of the younger generation's taste in music - we are in some deep sh*t. How the deuce did "This is why im hot" get past the music producers, much less make it onto a chart, much less TOP THE BILLBOARD!? Allow me to quote, "This is why im hot/I don't gotta rap/I could sell a mill sayin' nothin' on the track". This was a self-fulfilling prophecy if I've ever heard one.
The hook on this song though.... really gets back to the roots of true literature and tells you straight up how Mims keeps it real. "This is why I'm hot/I'm hot cause I'm fly/You ain't cause you not/This is why I'm hot"
It starts off with the thesis statement of This is why I'm hot. And it is because he is fly. It is also posits the argument that you as the listener are not hot. Because you are not fly. And then he ends by concluding that that is why he is hot.
Amazing.
Not only does he exemplify the roots of good writing but also transcends the academic boundary between literature and mathematics. He is able to also make use of the transitive property in which because you are fly = you are hot. and it is understood that the listener is not fly, thus making him not.... hot.
Genius.
I don't even know where I was going with that sarcastic rant but what I do know is that this #1 chart topper is TERRIBLE and it PHYSICALLY HURTS MY EARS. The lyrics offer NOTHING of value, and even the worst Paul Wall songs which speak only of his latest candy painted whipsets have more substance than this.
I honestly hope this is not the future of hip hop, if only for the sake of my kids not being stupider simply by exposed to this terrible mix of beat and lyric.

| You know the one thing that I haven't thought about in months, but have in the past few minutes come to miss so so much?
Saturday afternoon touch football in prospect park.
I hope I'm not gonna start missing ny like crazy now. ugh.

| Boy, it's been a while since I've just journaled down my thoughts and feelings huh? Over the past 5 years I've used xanga as a platform for so many different things from networking to ranting about star wars movies. But I don't think I've really given xanga enough of a chance to be my buddy - someone to talk to. Maybe it's because I'm insensitive... or maybe because I'm not a 6 year old girl. Whichever one it is, I can tell you that I don't spend enough time just putting my thoughts down in words. My entire life it's been like that, and which might be a possible reason why my writing is so disjointed and choppy. But I digress.
So now I come to you xanga to ask why I've been so worn down lately. And what is it about my life that has changed so drastically in the past few months. I can say without a doubt that yes, I've definitely come to know Jesus much more, but why is it that I am so weary. I really feel God's calling me to rest, take it easy. But what does that mean for me? Spend less time at church? For the past 6 years I've always just drank away the pain. And I drank away a lot of pain. Here in Hong Kong I feel like I can't think of a single place around town where I haven't been ridiculously sloppy. But now I've been back for 4 months, getting involved at church, and I haven't even really gotten tipsy this year? Am I overdoing it? I have friends here who I haven't even called yet or know I'm back even though I've even been working for over 2 months. It's a different place for me now. Am I ready to go out and stay out real late without the temptation of getting trashed? I'm not gonna lie I miss it, a lot. But even throughout my weariness, why do I feel there's something much greater, much more significant telling me to keep at what I'm doing and for the season, forget the life I used to live.
And at that, I am at a loss for what more I can say. Maybe it's time to go out again, check out my old friends, or maybe it's still time to just chill and take another step back.
Thinking about how I could've shortened this post, I probably could have just written *sigh*.
Ah well, Yankees spring training is here and I'm looking forward to the season so everyone better put on their rally caps. Yankees are going asian with another Japanese dude. And this year - we're going all the way.

| This is a piece written by Ethan Albright on being the worst rated player in Madden 07 and it is freakin' hilarious. Give it a read.

From: Ethan Albright
Re: Being the worst rated player on Madden ‘07
Hi,
John, my name is Ethan Albright. I play line for the Washington
Redskins. You probably already knew that, so I’ll continue. I am
writing in regards to the overall player rating of 53 that I have
received in Madden NFL Football 2007. I feel that this is
fucking bullshit and you should kiss my mother-fucking ass. Ahmed
Carroll was rated a 78 and the Packers just cut his ass on a Tuesday
morning after his performance in a Monday night game. That is pretty
terrible. The worst part is that his overall rating was sniffing 80.
You know what, John? Two can play this game. I rate you a fucking 12. I rate you a fucking 12 in Ethan Albright Football 2000-ever…
except for in the category of ball-licking. That is where I will spot
you a 98 rating. You will receive this score because I will never give
your blubbery ass a 99 in any category. Take that, pencil-dick. Go do
Al Micheals or something. Boom. Score one for Red Beard.
It’s
also pretty wonderful that my awareness rating was 59. You make it
sound like I wake up in the morning, helplessly shit and piss myself,
then lose three of my teeth before I discover that I am trying to eat a
rock for breakfast. Fuck, John, I understand you saying that I am slow
and lacking athleticism, but a rating like this pretty much labels me
as retarded. Rod “He Hate Me” Smart has a 52 in this category.
Electronic Arts is saying that seven rating points separate me and the
breathing embodiment of the perfect oxymoron. Rod Smart struggled to
arrange words in sentence form. Cave men had better hold of the English
language. The only actions that separate point values of ignorance at
this embarrassing level are things like using your own toothbrush to
wipe your ass. I basically edged out Rod by my lack of shit teeth. If I
take a night school class, could you bump me up to a 60?
I guess
I just can’t fathom the fact that I am the absolute worst player rated
out of the entire NFL. Fuck, man, there are some shitty guys out there.
Amongst everyone, I was rated the absolute worst.
I have
received the impression that you feel that I am lacking in the agility
category. I should consider a walk through my living room where I don’t
crash through a wall or kick over furniture a resounding success. My
agility rating on your game is 33. It makes it sound like I just topple
over if I start walking too fast. Ted Washington is rated a 40 in
agility. He is listed at 365 pounds. If Ted Washington tied a white
lady up and made her wear a metal bikini, he’d look just like Jabba the
Hut.

John,
you are such a fucking dick. I also noticed that my kick return rating
was a 0. I was rated a fucking zero? So you feel that I shouldn’t even
receive a 10, or even a 5? You are pretty much saying that I couldn’t
even fall forward on a ball kicked in my direction. I would just stand
there and let the ball bounce off of my fucking face. Fuck that, John,
I returned an onside kick 6 yards in 2002. You should have just slapped
a - 4 on me and had the EA staff ambush me with paintball guns.
Finally,
I would like to comment on an unlikely topic, my pass coverage ratings.
I see that I am a better at man-to-man coverage (31) than zone (21).
Fuck me sideways with a lunchbox. Where did these scores even come
from? How much time is spent coming up with the pass coverage ratings
of offensive lineman? Can I have that job? Let’s see here, I think that
Orlando Pace would be slightly better at jumping intermediate routes
than Larry Allen. While I’m at it, I can assign the passing ratings for
offensive lineman as well. I can use mine as a guide.
I was
rated with a throwing power of 17 and accuracy of 16. Orlando Pace has
a 22 power and 17 accuracy rating. Did someone at EA really put time
into figuring out that Orlando Pace edges out Ethan Albright in both
throwing power and accuracy? I will challenge him any day. My horrible
passer ratings are of greatest misfortune to my son, Red Beard Jr. The
poor boy is not only hideously ugly and covered by freakishly large
freckles. He also has to suffer through playing catch with me and my
senile-elderly-woman-type passer ratings. A session of tossing the
pigskin usually consists of me missing my son by thirty yards in
sporadic directions. I led him in front of a fire truck once and my
wife kicked my ass. This is because of my 76 toughness rating. Yes, a
76 is far better than the other ratings, but I’m a fucking lineman,
damn it. NFL Linemen are considered to be synonymous with toughness.
According to your game, I am a retarded, uncoordinated, pussy-ass
fuckwad that can’t fall on a kickoff, throw, or spell. I am, however,
slightly better at manning up on a receiver than dropping into zone
coverage. You lose your mind more and more each year, old man.
 | | When I'm not snapping balls, I snap necks. |
Fuck
you, John. Please expect to find red pubes in various meals you consume
for the rest of your life. If you fuck with Ethan Albright, you call
down the thunder.
Rot in Hell,
Ethan Albright | | |
| i just got out of a cab coming back to my place and i had my ipod headphones on. i step out of the cab and my ipod somehow falls out of my pocket. the cab somehow manages to stop right in front of a fucking sewer and the ipod falls straight in. FORTUNATELY HOWEVER, the headphones go in last and in what i swear was like a matrix like move, i (in slow motion) grab one of the ear pieces just as it is about to fall in (which means losing my ipod), and then i SLOWLY pull my ipod back up HOPING that i don't pull the headphones out of the ipod thus losing my ipod forever. i got it out but it was SOAKED and pretty frickin' nasty, so i threw away the case it was in, wiped off the ipod with my shirt, and now am ridiculously happy (in sort of a bittersweet sort of way) that i don't have to shell out the money for a new ipod..... although it would be nice to get the next generation ipod.
next week i'll post about my saga with my gay kenyan stalker. stay tuned.
