Throwback!

While watching the news and reading about mixed economies and collectivism last night, I started thinking about that Rugrats theme song jammy jam (Mya Feat. Mase). I really didn't have to go into detail about what I was doing when this occurred but seriously, I think it just makes the song that much funnier. I mean, really...HOW is a grown ass woman doing grown ass woman things going to all of a sudden be thinking about the Rugrats theme song? Wait, even more so, how is a GROWN ASS man (I'm talking about Mase now)ok with making a rap about some cartoon babies? Wait, let me find the lyrics..

Now Angelica the one with all the exposure
Dil is the one they drop in the stroller
Tommy is the one with snug on his shoulders his shoulders
Cuz Dil cried to sleep cuz his eyes are beat
And as soon as they bring Chucky, Chucky to petro
Chucky gets scared, Chucky says let's go
If I was a Rugrat, it wouldn't a been so real
Me and my twin woulda finished like Phil and Lil


Oh shit..and Blackstreet even took part in this song? To be honest, I don't even think I remember what the movie was about I'm pretty sure it was a little bit past my time, but I think I might have had a crush on Chucky...and I'm pretty sure I thought Angelica was one of the more down girls out of the whole cartoon catergory. Anyway, just to bring it back a little..here's a video of some black dude singing the theme song since I guess an official video was never made.





I'm also going to post some visuals...what's up Angelicaaaa and Chucky!







Yo...Don't be surprised if I write about "Bebe's Kids" and that "Book It!" reading club next time..

Chic a go go go go.

Chicago is one of the best cities in the world and I will try and get that across as much as possible. No matter where I end up at in the next few years (cough, NY?) I know that I will always return home...always. It's a love/hate relationship.


Want something to do in the next few weeks?? Go love the Smiths and get cozy at what I consider truly one of the best bars in Chicago..



Moving on completely to the other end of the spectrum..want something to do on Friday? I've been looking forward to this for a minute because let's face it, I doubt there will be any wicker park weirdos trying to juke to that one song "arounnnnd the world, around the worlllllllld" here. Just sayin'!

This shit should be outlawed..

I almost feel like it's my civic duty as a human being to point this out because seriously, I hate these shoes with the fury of a thousand men...yea, SKETCHERS. Wait..here:



oh wait, and HERE:



For as long as I can remember, I've hated these fucking shoes and there's nothing worse that doing a little perez gossip browsing before bed and having my night ruined with the sight of those disgusting things. I almost hate them as much as those weird ass Crocs that people somehow think look great on them..or maybe they're comfortable, I just don't know. I now have to just go to bed and end the night because it can only go downhill from here.

ZEITGEIST

If you haven't already, and even if you couldn't care less about politics, please watch this 2 hour long documentary. It's necessary. Regardless of our individual capabilities to change what is going on in our country, we still live in it and we should do our best to educate ourselves when we have every resource available to us.



"We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat. And we sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be!
We all know things are bad -- worse than bad -- they're crazy.
It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out any more. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we're living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, "Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials, and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone."
Well, I'm not going to leave you alone.
I want you to get mad!
I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot. I don't want you to write to your Congressman, because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street.
All I know is that first, you've got to get mad.
You've gotta say, "I'm a human being, goddammit! My life has value!"

"NETWORK" 1976

That was true in 1976, yet it's relevant today.

You're Creepy

Alright..so under normal circumstances, it's safe to say that my ass HATES movies and by default, that includes music videos because they're like tiny mini movies or whatevs,right? If you know me even slightly, you know I'm a fan of doing 10 things at once, so the thought of sitting down and focusing on a subject for 2+ hours is almost impossible for me to fathom. I don't know if it's because I'm subconsciously preppin' myself for the cold..or if it's because my movie partner has netflix and endless Chappelle, but lately I've been way into visuals. The girl who was once too lazy to seriously type in shit in the search box on YouTube.com is now a professional at tapping into the archives (see: Dave Chappelle (again), Soulja Boy and Tay Zonday.) ,

Anyway, while at work, I finished watching "Zeitgeist" and then I came across the most recent Twista/Pharell joint that makes that booty bounce:



Which besides being a blatant advertisement for BBC reminds me of Kanye's last summer jam joint that also makes that booty bounce:






yo..which is fine because I've always had a serious weakness for those two, but honestly, I just wanted to make the comparison so I could have an excuse to post this bunk picture of "Skateboard P" himself..



which reminds me almost of those weird puppet dolls..






uhh yep,

Engrish of the Day:


I was put onto this site (Engrish.com) by a friend and have since spent those boring ass days lurking the pages and laughing. First off, look at the photo above. Ok, maybe dude on the left is dropping something dirty onto the floor, we can't really judge from the photo, but clearly the man on the right is not shitting on any floor. Actually it looks like some sort of stream spouting from his mouth....an honest mistake, fine.
Basically, what the site is is a gigantic compilation of errors made in the English language by legit Japanese marketing companies. Check the site out, at least skim through a little! The mistakes are so genuine.
So obviously I've mentioned the site to a few folks here and there, laughed about its fucking accuracy in the mistakes people make through translation...
Tell me why I go to Chinatown today and this is what I get:
its a party time
IT'S A PARTY TIME!

Oh Shit!

After being on top of the Flickr game for a while now, I felt like it was only appropriate to extend out to the awesome world of blogging. Sometimes, or actually a lot of the time I sit back and think, "Wow..my life is awesome and those who are around me are even more awesome." More times than not I find myself scrambling inside my purse to find my camera to capture a moment that I feel is important (or hilarious) enough to document. Either way, I was able to get up off my lazy ass (with my girl Hananne) and start this business. Expect some hilarious shit, crazy shit, intelligent shit, and maybe just a little sprinkle sprankle of serious shit here and there. Walk it out, lurk it out.
