No...not me, but my Fal is, she's the purdiest chick in the vid (I know I'm biased) but shes the light skinned girl on the left side playing patty cake in the shower...Ain't she hot yall? the cameras are making her look kinda thick but that's good =)

I'm not really a big fan of Linkin Park, but this has always been my favorite song from them. I did a remix of this song a few years back, but I can't find it no more but anyways I Smell a new remix in the works. LOL keep in tune!
Festivus! The holiday for people like us! A FESTIVUS FOR THE REST OF US!!!
I first heard about this from watching Seinfeld as a kid about 10 years ago.
"The origins of the Festivus celebration can be dated back to one man's refusal to conform to the increased commercialism and consumerism which has saturated the December holiday season."
Festivus Pole An aluminum pole is used to celebrate this holiday. The pole was chosen apparently in opposition to the commercialization of highly decorated Christmas trees, because it is "very low-maintenance," and good "Strength to Weight Ratio."
Airing of Grievances At the beginning of the Festivus dinner, each participant tells friends and family of all the instances where they disappointed him or her that year.
Festivus Dinner "The original Festivus meal consisted of spaghetti (or what might have passed for meatloaf) covered in a red sauce. But established custom aside, it can consist of whatever you want to eat (so long as it never wore feathers)."
Feats of Strength "After the dinner, the head of the family tests his or her strength against one participant of the head's choosing. Festivus is not considered over until the head of the family has been pinned to the ground. A participant is allowed to decline to attempt to pin the head of the family only if they have something better to do instead."
So I read about this in my homie's blog so when my compadre and I went to get our Sunday ritual movie I had this in mind, and just so happens to be a big ass poster in the front window...It was a sign lol literally
I enjoyed it, Brad Pitt played a character you typically wouldn't expect him to play and it really stood out to me.
If you like Coen Bros. movies definitely check this out!
Some of you, and I will put money on this...will probably hate this film.
::spoiler warning::
If you read the back of the DVD or any synopsis its going to tell you something about CIA and spy stuff and wacky/interesting characters getting into some crazy things and it does its really more of a Parody of spy movies. But to strip this movie down to its bare bones it's about a lady who saw herself as "disabled" and "grotesque"(See Garland Thompson). She doesn't see herself as the acceptable norm of society. She goes in desperation mode and seeks out money in order to get the alterations needed for her to become "normal."
I'm a last minute addition to the line up so sorry for the late notice

Catching this movie tonight with my partner in crime I will update later after I get home
AdiOs for now
::UPDATE:: SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE Anyways we went up all the way to Cheshire Bridge Road to catch it at the theater there
WOW pretty good movie, I definitely enjoyed it. Its a typical love story under all the action and back story within the movie, though it was a bit predictable. The thing that sticks out on my mind is how the movie was shot and framed. Lots of angles and the lines and colors in the shots really stood out for me. Also establishing shots were pretty, If ya check out the movie, you'll see what I'm talking about.
Also M.I.A. has a couple of tracks in the movie, but the one that sticks out is "O Saya" ft. AR Rahman...
Pronounce it like this (SHReeKeY) She first caught my eye in the movie Waiting, but she also played Mrs. Chess in Cadillac Records. None of her other movies really stick out to me, besides those two, but she has been in quite a few films like the god awful In the Mix (w/ Usher enough said), 100 girls (not bad), Snow day, and the even more god awful Zohan. She was also on Entourage, but I never really got into that show.
Shes Canadian, but of Morroccan descent, as young as she looks, shes getting up there in age (born 1977). For More info on Emmanuelle go HERE
Now I am no film expert or film buff, but I have taken a few film classes and I love using what I learned in those classes and picking apart films and then discussing them on the drive the home. Its like our own little weekend ritual. Friday Night/Saturday Morning Okay after a friend's grad party we were desperate for a movie, but everything was closed at 1 am so our resort was Wal-Mart's $1 rental machine...We picked up 2 flicks, I got "Re-Cycle" and She got "An American Crime."
We didn't even bother watching "Re-Cycle" mainly b/c it was in japanese and subtitled and We didnt want to bother. Basically threw away a dollar here.
But "An American Crime" was good. It wasn't like a masterpiece or anything like that film wise, but it was a very heart felt story, I wanted to punch Denys' laptop screen as we were watching it and I LOVED IT!
It's based on a true story about a trial on this evil bitch who abused a child. It has Ellen Page starring as Sylvia Likens, and you can google/youtube her story and you'll get a good idea of what this film is about. Now if you know me, then you know I love sick sad movies and this is definitely one of them. NOW on Sunday
After having Lunch at one of our usual Sunday spots we had to catch another flick, we ended up seeing "Cadillac Records"
This movie was really enjoyable, I thought the casting director did a superb job picking the actors and actresses in their roles. Also the whole cast did great portraying their characters...EVEN Beyonce, yes that's right Beyonce did a pretty good job, even though she had her moments where I could see she kinda lost Character and we saw a little Sasha Fierce coming through. But her scene in the restaurant I think was powerful. Mos Def as Chuck Berry and Eamonn Walker as Howlin' Wolf were perfect...also the guy that played Little Walter was also good, we later found out the actor was from "thats so Raven" he's gonna look familiar when you see this movie LOL.
This movie was a little short, I wish they could have made it longer and went a little deeper, but nonetheless this movie was really enjoyable and entertaining. I loved the older people in the theater with us, they were all laughing and giggling as we were watching the movie. It was like they had a piece of their childhood/teenaged years back and they were re-living it. I wish when we get older and we somehow are still doing this little Sunday ritual we'd be like these nostalgic movie goers, except instead of a movie about Cadillac Records, we'll catch a movie about Ruthless Records (inside joke) It's All Good! Really It is
So after the movies Saturday night, I went home and watched infomercials till like 4AM. The one that caught my eye is the SNUGGIE, the blanket with sleeves! I am so getting one, I'm giving these out for XMAS lol most definitely. Keep yourself warm even without me.
There was a bright spot in the movie Twilight, Christian Serratos. Now she had a minor role in the film, basically she was just one of the students in the highschool the main characters went to. She played a nerdy chick with glasses, a camera and was the god awful asian guy's prom date.
I have a thing for chicks with glasses and the camera is definitely a plus
she's a youngin' born in 1990 (she's legal). For more info on her check out her IMDB profile HERE
This is what happened after the pumpkin saw this movie
And the oscar for comedy of the year goes to...
TWILIGHT!
Yes it was that bad. I could of seen this movie at home on Lifetime minus the teenie boppers seated behind us. Viewing this film made me appreciate the movie I saw the previous night, which isn't so bad after watching this POS. There were so many awkward moments in the film and it was obvious. The lines were forced at times and there were many instances where the cast had this WTF look on their faces. This resulted in a very unintentionally funny film.
Here's an example of the movie:
**insert awkward moment here** cue glitters on the skin **insert tired cliche' here** cue 360 degree swooping crane shot **repeat**
So I went to see this movie last night. It wasn't our first choice, but we arrived late and the movie we wanted to view already passed. Well anyways, this movie wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, but then again I didn't really expect much from it. It was surprisingly funny (not hilarious), and the main characters had a little more depth to them than what I expected.
Vince Vaughn- Plays the same role he does in every movie. Blehhh
Reese Witherspoon- Was her usual self, plays typical blond with family problems, discovers something about herself and then tries to make changes. Whoopty Doo...I find myself attracted to her though.
Robert Duvall- My favorite character from the movie (Vince Vaughn's father), though it was a secondary character, I found it to be very well done.
Though I usually hate watching Romantic Comedies, let alone Romantic Holiday Comedies, I 've come to the conclusion that I despise these things not because they are typically horribly made, but because I envy the characters in the film. It's not even the fact that these usually end happily, it's that in reality these ideal endings are exactly what they are....IDEAL
"IDEAL" exist but is never attainable. It is the concept of perfection or what is thought to be perfect or flawless. We all have our own vision of what ideal is to us, but no one ever attains it, we will always settle for the next best thing, if not we settle for the next best thing after than and so on...the cycle continues until we find ourselves satisfied with mediocrity.
PALM DESERT, Calif. - Two men pulled guns and shot each other to death in a crowded toy store Friday after the women with them erupted into a bloody brawl, witnesses said. Scared shoppers fled but no one else was hurt.
The violence erupted on Black Friday, the traditional post-Thanksgiving start of the holiday shopping surge, but authorities indicated the shooting wasn't related to a shopping frenzy.
Special thanks to Denys for the photo (it was taken when we ate Korean BBQ)
It's been about a week since I've been driving around without a radio/CD player in my car and has been quite the double edged sword.
The bad, for the obvious reason is that I'm bored out of my mind while driving with no music. So I end up riding around with the windows rolled down in 30 degree weather just hoping to catch a beat or melody or even a siren from vehicles around me.
The positive aspects of this situation is that it's relaxing. You sit there, you drive and your mind just starts wandering off about random things such as life, relationships, school and politics. You drive slower and slower as you get to your destination just because you want an extra few minutes to yourself, in the car, with no music, just you and your thoughts and you let it marinate.
This past week I've discovered that these thoughts are what I yearn for. Whether if it's by myself or if it's shared with whoever is riding with me, I find these moments golden. I have also come to the conclusion that in order for me to be in a relationship with someone these moments must be shared. It's beyond what that other person can do for you, what they do, how much they make, what they look like, what they know about you or how interesting their personality seems. It's how these golden moments are shared that makes a strong bond between two people. NO MATTER WHAT.
Okay, So I'm sitting in Public Relation class right now....my phone is blowing up. I want to just turn it off for Thanksgiving break. BUT I KNOW I CANT DO THAT since I desperately need an internship so I need to be easy to get in contact with. Anyways Tonight I'll be at CENCI for an interview with Abstract Logic Recordings for DJing, production and public relations with them. This fits me perfectly but its stuff I already know, but I wouldnt mind honing down my skills and I think its good exposure for my DJ career that I need to revive after a couple of years of laying low.
But Yeah I Guess I'll be back on Beast Mode for now.
So it has come to my attention that Superhead is giving lectures to college students at Cal State Northridge. I wonder what she could be giving lectures about? Mmmmmmm LOL and what kind of class is she lecturing for? She'd be perfect for Media and Culture.
So winding-down the weekend I believe is the best and worst part of it. I find it to be the best part because I feel its the best time to reflect or atleast try to remember what you did the past 2 days if you can remember it at all. Its the worst because you know you know its Monday the very next day...Yikes! =/. But yeah I winded-down this one similar to last weekend with Denys, except this time instead oh Pho we had Korean BBQ, which is the SH!T by the way. I think we're the only customers they get for Korean BBQ b/c we definitely caught the lady off guard when we said Korean BBQ; she didn't even offer it to us. But yeah its been awhile since we last went to eat there, its been like 2 years. Everything was good till the heat died and the food got cold, I just couldnt eat after that.
I love these Sundays, its relaxing and gets me prepped up for the upcoming week. Too bad theres only 52 of these in year, but kinda glad b/c we'd probably run out of places to eat at.
So last night I got the leak of Kanye's lastest new album coming out next week. I didnt have high expectations for this, but it definitely was better than I thought it would be. I think the use of the autotune was a bit much, but I am not confident in Kanye's singing ability, atleast we know what he sounds like without it (*ahem* tpain). The use of distortion I believe was a nice touch and a breath of fresh air. Its like a painter purposely damaging a painting to express more emotion. Coldest Winter and Paranoid are definitely my personal favorites off this album. This whole album has a bit of a dark feel to it (which I like), the title pretty much sums it up...well the title would be more appropriate if it was 808's and Heartbreaks and Autotune. LOL but yeah not bad Yeezy, not bad at all...better than I thought.
The timing of 808's and Heartbreak was POIFECT! for my situation and I instantly felt the emotion coming from this album. If you got the money purchase it on tuesday, if you're a broke college student go dig around online for leaks
I feel so much better today, its like the weight have been lifted off my shoulders and the doubts I've had has been cleared. It was like a moment of clarity and understanding that was long overdue. I Thank You, I feel like a better person today already.
Okay so the lil red car is back in action....I ended up blowing a fuse so it was a quick fix. I have no more excuses now...Look Out Weekend cause Here I Come!!!
Check out these two events for Friday!!!I'll make it to atleast one of these but I'll try to make BOTH!!!!
So my car died today, its not starting and no electricity is going through. Either I have some blown fuses (which I'm hoping) or something more serious (which I'm not hoping for). Besides that I will not be able to go to my interview today for an internship I desperately needed. But anyways as a believer of fate/destiny (refer to Forrest Gump) I think this is a sign that the internship was not for me. I had an uneasy feeling about it, so I Guess its not meant to be.
She's in this new indie movie (Slumdog Millionaire) It's her acting debut so I'm kinda iffy on her performance, but we will see. Check out the trailer below
It looks promising, plus it can't be any worse than some of the god awful movies I watched over the weekend. I gotta see this one to make up for all those bad ones.
for more info on the movie go HERE for more info on Freida Pinto go HERE (theres not much on her on IMDB so its linked to a yahoo article i found)
