Day Seven: Whatever tickles your fancy

The book is, rather, a play. Called Lobby Hero by Kenneth Lonergan. Read it last night. Really quirky, interesting dialogue. I thoroughly enjoyed and approve. It's an easy read and worth every minute. Some plays are tough to read because they are simply dialogue with basic stage direction, but this one lends itself to that.

Day Seven: Whatever tickles your fancy

So a photo for today. The original picture I wanted was impossible to find online, from rapper The Game's debut The Documentary's booklet. The picture has game weighing drugs with a pistol in his hand peering through his blinds. The picture transcends the artist, and even music, as it just shows a desperate man trying to survive. Granted, I'm not a drug abuser or dealer, so that could be way above my head, but I find the picture to be very primal and real. But enough of that.



I love this picture. It hangs above my desk. It motivates me. It's funny. It's well painted. It's absurd. It's brilliant. I absolutely love it, and I love that it was an advertising tool so many years ago. When I grow up, I want a framed version for my home.

Week of Updates Day 1.

I saw this on LJ friends page and I need things to update update.

So a song...



This song went way over peoples heads a few years ago.

A little note...

Hey everybody, just wanted to sit down and make a quick update about something pointed out to me recently. This year has been HUGE for hip-hop, while rock has shown some good efforts with Chickenfoot, The Dead Weather and a few others, I've noticed that hip-hop has had a great year thus far...lets just take a look at some of the greats we've had thus far. I won't give any comments, just a brief overview of what good has come of this year.

Method Man & Redman-Blackout! 2
La Coka Nostra-A Brand You Can Trust
Jay-Z-The Blueprint III
Mos Def-The Ecstatic
Wu-Tang Chamber Music
Raekwon-Only Built 4 Cuban Linx...Pt. II
Kid Cudi-Man on the Moon (haven't heard it yet.)

And there's more on the way! A new Ghostface Killah album, Clipse's "Till The Casket Drops" and who knows...maybe Relapse 2 will be decent. So basically I'm saying that NaS was very wrong when he said hip-hop is dead. It's still alive and well.

The Prototypal Classic

I have decided to go all out and post my newest film on Facebook and Twitter. People have been whining about my lack of updates, so here is this.



Hailed by Conor Eamonn Ferguson as, "As good as any six minutes of Curb Your Enthusiasm."

And D.Winchell calls it "The most important film of this decade."
