Thursday night some events happen

so I finally went back to Webster HALL on a thursday night, it was pretty good actually. I was surprised, the crowd was pretty insane.

Just another tuesday but not much to do on this day. I am about to go out though, get something poppin'.

Gymkata Gymkata was a great movie. Classic 80's movie that was one you could see over and over. I have enjoyed seeing this one many times. Gymnast Kurt Thomas was kicking some ass. KIDS Larry Clark's KIDS is a movie I have seen many times. Larry Clark's KIDS was a very good movie. I had no problem with the endless amount of young teen violence and promiscious sex. I think it is not liked by all but has a definite cult following. I thought it just should what people did or really wanted to do at that age without the afterthoughts of police after you, or death and AIDS. ECW One Night Stand ECW One night stand 2005 was a memorable night because all the fans did think we would see the talent of ECW back together for one night only. I feel each match on this night the wrestlers gave 120% and I truely enjoyed watching this dvd. I did originally see it on cable the night it aired. The Black Donnellys I rented NBC show The Black Donnellys. I didn't like the first one or two episodes very much but now after seeing all three disks of this series I did enjoy the show very much. I loved the concept but think it would've worked alot better as a two hour movie versus a whole season. I did not watch it at all on NBC and I feel many others only watched 1 episode or so and got bored. Oh well, tough break for the cast.

Spark that blunt nigga Current mood:happy Well, I need to finally post a review of something I did for a local Brooklyn Ny newspaper years and years ago: (From summer 1996 to be exact While more and more people are buying Cd players or stereos and radios with the CD compatibility, Cd sales continue at a healthy pace. A large part of this equation has to do with the Hip/Hop scene, which is in full effect in 1996. The album I will start you off with is Liquid Swords by the GZA/GENIUS. It was released in late 1995. I liked the album alot but I think it is not the best I have heard. The Genius is solo on his new album but gets alot of help from his friends, The Wu-Tang Clan. My favorite songs are Shadowboxing' with Method Man, 4th Chamber with Tony Starks, Killah Priest, and the Rza, Killah Hills 10304, I Gotcha Back and Duel of the Iron Mic. This is a great album for Wu-Tang fans and just an average album for general rap fans. I have gotten alot of positive feedback for the GZA's Liquid Swords. This album has already sold over 70,000 copies in the store as of June 96. All in all, I would give GZA/GENIUS' Liquid Swords three stars out of a possible 4. For now Liquid Swords is the latest Wu/solo project but later in the summer, Tony Starks is going solo with the album Iron Man. (Yeah that for real, I had the scoop too. I had the demo tape the whole summer a full 4 months ahead of the general public Iron Man from meeting a rep from his label) Allmusic [1] Entertainment Weekly (B+) [2] Melody Maker (Positive) [2] Rap Reviews [3] NME [2] Option (Positive) [2] Q [4] Stylus Magazine (Favorable) [5] The Wire (Positive) [2] The Source Added the reviews from other venues just now) The Wu-Tang Clan were on top of the Hip/Hop scene in 1994 and now each member just happens to be going solo and developing identities for themselves. Method Man has Tical, Raekwon has his first album Only Built for Cuban Linx, The Old Dirty Bastard has Return to the 36 Chambers, and also the two previously mentioned albums above. Ghostface Killah and others of course appeared on the original album: the Platinum chart-topper Enter the Wu-Tang: The 36 Chambers. This was the best album because all the forces were combined. The original albums are very crucial for the sucessful launch of these solo careers. Now that I am talking about the subject, I will talk about the album. I should mention that my favorite songs off the album happen to be The Mysteries of Chessboxing, C.R.E.A.M, Protect Ya Neck, and Can It Be So Simple. The album overall I will say is a classic. I give it 4 stars for true Hip/Hop greatness. Another great album (no good or bogus albums so far) that is recently climbing up the charts is The Score by the Fugees. This album is great because it combines rap with classic style of R&B mix with phat beats and slamming poetic lyrics. My favorite songs are Ready or Not, Fu-gee-la, and Killing Me Softly. The second album from the Fugees seems better than the first. The Fugees are moving up the charts at a very rapid pace. They debuted on the Billboard Top 200 at No.7. At the present time, The Fugees are locked in at the Number 2 spot (As of May 6, 1996). The song, Killing Me Softly, is a remake of a Roberta Flack song. Unlike most remakes done today, this one is done perfectly. Fu-gee-la is a song about refugees that are trying to leave for a better life. This is the variety of the music that is the Fugees. I really did like the hit Nappy Headz off the first Fugees album from 1994, that was a real underground sensation. Fugees use the best mix of Hip/Hop and rap lyrics mixed with some of the best sensual singing out there. When I first heard of the Fugees in 1994 (also known as Refugee Camp) I did not generally like them as a whole group but now they would be on a list as one of my favorites. I give The Score three stars out of a possible four for it's originality and fresh quality. Stay tuned for more phat reviews in the future.

Football 1. Who is your favorite team? The New York Giants, my fav team, New Orleans Saints are my second. 2. Be honest, do you think they will make the playoffs this year? Of Course, they are on a roll and are the super bowl champs. Saints right now are on the bubble but most likely will head to playoffs as well. 3. Which player has been the most valuable for your team this season? Plaxico (lol) just for media attention and helping everyone else actually think about football. I think Steve Smith, Brandon Jacobs, Derrick Ward are great, Antonio Pierce is excellent on defense and Carney is doing a great job kicking field goals. 4. Which player has been the most disappointing? Plaxico, that guy is a loser. Why did he carry a gun to LQ, that club is not that gangsta anyway. I don't even think the spot is poppin like it used to be. Kevin Boss is a little dissappionting.

5 shots for $10 unless you are Black Current mood:bitchy i saw this on a website: A group of coworkers went to The Continental after work. They let the mixed race group in, but when one of them left to make a phone call, they wouldn't let him back inside. They said it was because of how he was dressed. Then they let a guy in who was wearing an almost identical outfit. He was black. Guy they let in was white. From the Gothamist: "I made a bad call letting you in." "What do you mean?" "We have a dress code here. You have a sideways cap and baggy shorts." At this point, I understand how clubs do what they can to control the climate at places. The rules against baseball caps and sneakers, etc. are generally to keep out a crowd they don't want. Most recently, as I waited to meet people for a newyorkers meetup that no one attended, I was told by a doorman that I could wear my cap forward or backward, not sideways, and I did so accordingly. I have no problem with rules. So I compromise and respond: "Where is your dress code written? I can remove the cap and I have a change of clothes inside." "We can't do it. It's about a general vibe." My eyes are fighting not to roll out of their sockets at this point. I tell the doorman I am going in to get my things. As I go inside to grab my bag and my friends, the owner GRABS me and asks me "Where are you going?" "I'm going to get my things. "You wait here. I'll get your friends and your things. You don't run this place." What. The. Fuck? My friends were both White. They apparently were wearing trendy "East Village" attire that consisted of Black jeans that stained of spilled mayo and black shirts with a patch that indicated that they worked at a restaurant that can be found in Times Square. The owner had nothing against what they were wearing, but when I repeated that I had that same exact uniform and could change into it, he repeated: "It's about the vibe. We have a regular clientele here. Once you're out, you're out. There are thousands of clubs in New York City" As I waited on the sidelines boiling about this, I saw two other black men get ejected, one being in the group of my friends that came to meet us there. Unlike myself, he wore his complete work uniform. No cap, no sneakers, no "baggy pants." He wasn't allowed in and when asked why, the doorman gave no real reason.

who strike to carry out a sexual fetish or to satiate “an inappropriate pleasure driven by immature fantasies.” Though gropers may be moving to humiliate a victim, or exhibit power over one, they choose “a sexual methodology to carry out that plan." and develop techniques for carrying it out, and others act out impulsively because of emotional or situational factors, sometimes with inhibitions lowered by drug or alcohol use. Others, she said, carry out frottage — rubbing for the sake of sexual gratification — particularly in crowded places like Rockefeller Plaza at Christmastime.

*AVENGERS*

sO I finally got to see the Avengers movie and now I am ready to see it again. I seriously loved the flick. This experience seeing THE AVENGERS alone was a 5 star one. I saw it the second weekend it came out, I knew the first week crowds would be too ridiculous. I got the chicken tenders at the concessions. It was good and costs $7.75 but to me a big large popcorn does not do it for me. I would rather have real food and since I did not eat before hand, I got it here. The chicken was good and rather large in size. I give the movie a 10 out of 10. It is a must see again. I will go soon, back in the theaters.
