5 Tips To Go From Good To Great

*Disclaimer: My advice is to be applied at your own risk. Upon the conclusion of you reading this sentence, I will assume credit for all of your life's successes & accomplishments only, both past and future.*

  Good is cool, but great is better.  Why not be great?  Well, some people just can't without a little help from their friendly neighborhood ass hole (that's me).  So, I'd like to give you some general advice to help improve things in your meager, down-trodden life...ok, that's probably more the exception than the rule, but I know somebody fits that description.  I do, however, see those that patronize this blog being the social elite in their collective circles, not following random trends because it's popular, looking for more substance than relying on style, drinking their red flavored Kool Aid from a champagne flute...you know, as I am & do.  Still, a word to the wise never hurt anybody, since the wise know what to ignore.

How Long Before TI Returns to Jail? **Updated: 9/6/11**

***Update: I'd like to congratulate the winner, Royce Anthony (@Tree_Phiddy)! When asked how he knew when TI would return to jail (within 24 hours) he replied "the key was to not underestimate a hood nigga's stupidity."***


  Call me negative...but I don't think this is the last time TI will be in jail.  Listening to the things he says (usually after being arrested) sound like he knows right from wrong...but will do what he feels is necessary.  So, without touching on the morality/legality of his personal choices, let's skip to the fun part and predict when he'll be arrested again!

Movie Review: Black Swan

Natalie Portman would probably never do a traditional porno...but last night, I watched her get mind-fucked for 2 hours in Black Swan.

Black Swan...no racist

Drunken Rant: 10/16/2010

***The following rant was composed roughly between the hours of 3am & 4am.  Not sure what sparked this, but I made some points worth salvaging from the bowels of Twitter.  If it seems fragmented, it's because they were in tweet form.  As always, take what I saw with a grain of salt, followed by a shot of tequila...a lime chaser is suggested, but not required.***

I ate this McGangBang before I started drinking...Obviously, I was re-evaluating my life afterward

   "Listen...Life is full of double standards, oxymorons, and ingenious idiots...u just have to find your grove and stop worrying about the rest.  Actions speak louder than words. But when you're my close friend & I don't hit you up...it just be's like that. I'm still down for you.   Sometimes you can get by off of a feeling or an intent. But meaning to do something & doing something are 2 completely different things.  
 

It Never Rains in Southern California...*Confirmed*

  I spent the last 7 days in California: 4 in the High Desert & 3 in So Cal.  I'm not going to lie, I had a good time.  I prepared for this trip by warning the handful of people I know in the area that I would be there, and asking my boy Andrew what places I should check out via text message...That's it.  No itinerary, no scheduled events...shoot, I didn't even book my hotel room until the day before.  I just went out there to be out there and see what it was about.

Godzilla could really catch them slipping right now

The LeBron of Softball

  Today I filled in on a coed softball team with a few co-workers.  I was a little reluctant to do it at first, because it was about a 30 minute drive from my place.  So as I was walking to the field, I see my friend Jamal walking to his car.  Turns out, the team I was filling in on was playing against a team of my friends that I decided not to play with (because of the distance, not because I don't like them...really...I'm serious...why would you even consider that?).  So needless to say, they felt a little betrayed by my appearance...I got shouted at by a chick I didn't even know.  Well, that wasn't going to stop me form fulfilling my agreement & helping the other team achieve victory.

  Side Note: I wonder if it will be this awkward when LeBron rolls into NY and stomps the Knicks.  They did so much to lure him there and they will still remember the heartbreak when they play the Heat. Probably not, LeBron doesn't have any friends on the Knicks...that I know of anyway...he may have some new ones, but as of last month when he was dog-sitting for me, he said he didn't (Yeah, that's right, I pay LeBron James $20/day to dog-sit...He doesn't need the money, he just uses it as an excuse to name drop me in conversation.)

  Afterward, I went out for some food with the friends I just helped hand an L to.  Turns out the team is pretty cool.  We ended up joking around and taking pictures (too many) in this little pizza spot for the rest of the night.
     
  Side Note: The service was stupid. Chick that waited on us looked like Kima from The Wire, so she had that going for her...but she didn't do anything for us.  We had to rearrange tables to fit, we had to clean them, we got 1 round of water refills, and we had to wait forever to get the bill with the gratuity included...But I digress.

The chick that shouted at me...shouting
