“Gator boots with the pimped out Gucci suits
Ain't got no job, but I stay sharp
Can't pay my rent, cause all my money's spent
But that's okay, cause I'm still fly”
It’s official… I finally got myself a j-o-b! (High fives to Dino and Nook’s friend Miriam for plugging me with this).
Whew! I was kinda sweatin’ before my interview though, cause I was fucking late! And I remember speeding through traffic in my car talking to God, saying, “Please God, please don’t make me late for the one job I actually have a chance of getting.”
I’m pretty excited about working too, especially since I haven’t had real work (aside from DJing and some freelance jobs) since June and on to top it off, they’re paying me a little bit more than my initial offer. Plus, a majority of the people there are pretty young (under 30) and really cool and down to earth. I have a feeling that things are gonna be pretty cool there.
Man, right after I found out I got the job, I already started making out a wish list of things to buy and even started figuring out how to spend my first paycheck. (Woo hoo! I got money now!)
Anyways… So what else has been going on…
- Is it me, or does anyone else find it absolutely stupid when you see cars peeling out and speeding in front of the club after you get out?
I was walking to my car after DJing at Cocomo the other night and saw a bunch of cars going like 50 to 60 on city streets, in front of the club, filled with people pouring out into the sidewalk and street. I even almost saw 2 girls get hit by one of these fools.
And for what?
Cause you think you’re gonna impress everyone with your rendition of 2 Fast 2 Furious? Is your self-esteem that low that you have to put everyone else in danger so that you can look cool?
And I won’t lie, I’ve seen this type of macho behavior mostly at predominantly ‘Asian’ clubs and especially if it’s an 18 and over party (which is one of the many reasons why I try not to hit up these types of parties).
Okay, that’s my rant for the day…
- Damn, I’ve been putting in quite a bit of work the last couple days cleaning, painting, prepping and just trying to get this second room done with, for me and Nook to finally move into.
Oh yeah, two booyakashots to Eric and Lor for coming through and helping me paint tonight. If anyone else is free to help out this week, please, hit me up.
- Speaking of Eric, Lisa suddenly moved back to Alaska a little over a week ago.
Eric wanted to make a video for her, and with her leaving last minute, there wasn’t too much time to put something together. I swear, I was up until almost 7 in the morning last Thursday (Friday morning), trying to finish it up. But even with the lack of sleep, I still managed to take a break to make my weekly rounds down Haight with Lor. But afterward, it was back to the house, where I only had about 2 and a half hours to finish up.
I swear, it felt like being in school again: trying to grind a project out in a couple days, and rushing out of the house last minute, just making in time for class (or in this case, before she left Eric’s house). By the way, if anyone wants a copy of the DVD, shoot me a DVD-R and I’ll plug you with one.
I guess now that Lisa’s gone, Eric might be looking for someone to spend some time with to keep from being lonely. Don’t worry man, I got someone in mind I can hook you up with.
- JR was in the Bay last weekend and it totally reminded me: Hey, Winny, when the hell are we heading down to LA?
I thought we were supposed to go in July (but you winded up going down yourself… Thanks for inviting us). But, what about this month?
- After like 2 or 3 years, I finally caught up with the homie Roland over at Video Café a couple weeks ago after chillin at Yancy’s for Christine’s birthday. This guy was one of my best friends in high school, and I’ve been trying to get a hold of him for a minute, but he’s just been totally MIA.
But now that I found him again, where the hell is my N64 that I let you borrow 5 years ago???
- Oooh… I finally bought my copy of “Bowling for Columbine” on DVD the other day.
If you haven’t seen it, buy it or rent it NOW! I rarely ever buy movies at all, so this is saying a lot. Micheal Moore is funny as shit, and his insights will really have you thinking twice.
- Speaking of DVD’s, “The Debut” is finally out on DVD. Go out and pick up your copy today and support the growing Filipino American cinema movement.
Big ups to John and Gene for taking it this far.
- And while I’m telling you what the hell to buy, Saul has a new book out: “Said the Shotgun to the Head”.
Buy it now and school yourself.
- Has anyone else been watching that new show, “The Joe Shmoe Show”?
Dope shit… They take an average guy, make him believe he’s on a reality show, except that everyone else is really an actor playing a certain character on that show (did that even make sense?). Well, basically, it's a fake reality show.
And the games and antics on the show are pretty hilarious: Someone putting all those pictures of the asses in the gay guy’s scrapbook? Put your hand on the hooker? And the gay guy’s fake Cuban accent?
Classic
- Speaking of TV, it’s official: ‘Family Guy’ is the fucking shiznit.
Dare I say that it’s even more funnier and outrageous than ‘The Simpsons’? - Speaking of TV, it’s official: ‘Family Guy’ is the fucking shiznit.
In other random news…
- For all you shoe heads, check out Nike’s upcoming ’03–’04 retro releases here. (Oh man, my wallet is gonna be anorexic in the next few months)
- Attention old school WWF fans: Randy Macho Man Savage is back, and he’s mad as hell.
- While we’re on the subject of old school shit, wasn’t ‘Mike Tyson’s Punch Out’ the shiznit?
- Attention conspiracy theorists: The New World Order is in full effect, and it’s called the New American Centery.
Bust your Y2K emergency kits back out cause it doesn't look like anyone's gonna be able to beat bush next election. The end is near, you have been warned.
Peep the plan for yourself.
- Serial killers or computer programmers. Can you tell the difference? I can't. (Big ups to Marcel for the link)
- Please take a moment of silence and offer a prayer to the homie Jack.
- No, seriously. It’s really not funny.
Yo, before I go, happy birthday shout out to my cousin Jason. Sorry I couldn’t make it to the bonfire on Friday, but I’ll get you a drink the next time I see you. Of course, I think Nook’s had too much to drink.
Until next time…
Thank you, come again…
Ben spoke on it at 3:44 AM
