Shoe of the Week 27

Is postponed til either Thursday or Friday
Why?
It's a surprise (to some...)

Texting

Mr.Desolate-Civilization himself showed me that Im not alone in the world on his thoughts about texting.

The way I see it texting is the best way to communicate. You dont have to talk, leaving you open to multi-task and...you dont have to talk.
Talking can lead to cracking voices (making you look quite bitch-made in earshot of people you most likely dont want to sound bitch-made to) and you have to reply pretty quick to hold a phone conversation. Oh and dont get me started on awkward silences (in fact I may make another post about that)

Texting gives you time to formulate the perfect thing to say or even to hint that you're ready to stop communicating (with one word answers...or even complete ignoring) I once held what would have been a 20

And if my shoulder didn't feel like it was gonna detach Id say some more but you obviously get the point already.

FMyLife

I keep putting this off (laziness...sorry) but I wanna post it now so I can say I've been there from the start (really I've known about it for about a 3 or 4 weeks).

FML stands for Fuck My Life, a saying I first heard in one of my favorite movies, Superbad.

And some incredibly smart (nad lucky) person created a site for people to post their FML moments. It is great for those days when you wonder if anybody is worse off than you.

I also love how now they're making FML shirts (proves the lucky bastard is smart)...maybe I should make R3AL shirts...like anyone would wear those...

No pic for this post...since I cant find a logo...dammit

Twitter

Isn't necessarily that cool to me...well let me rephrase that, it isn't that necessary to me.

The way I see it, Twitter is for people with relevant info and little time; otherwise they could just get a regular blog (like the rest of us).

But the way I see it being used is for people with no relevant info who just want your attention. News Channels dont need a Twitter, they're on TV after all. Normal people (ewwww normal people) dont need Twitters...because they either already have a Facebook (speaking of which) or Myspace.

And while we're on the subject of Twitter, a friend and I were discussing just how do you say that you put something on Twitter. Is it Twittered, Tweeted, Twottered (which sounds dirty), or what exactly?

These are probably just the ravings of a bored blogger though...

Ciara

We made 8000! and for that I present the alluring Ciara.

The main reason she won this spot is because of Love Sex Magic (to which I must repeat, OMJ) and that revived my desire to Google the hell out of her (which sounds a lot more dirty if you dont know what Google is)

And since Im sure nobody cares about the dialogue of this post here are the aesthetics:

Bruce Lee Vs. Iron Man

This is pretty good and I (for once) cant figure out completely how they did it. Im not gonna ruin the winner (even thought you'll probably watch anyway) but I do hate Iron Man (he's a pretty bad character to me)

The one thing that pisses me off is that Kanye West beat me to posting it...(grrrr...)

Dont Do It Video

Off the Recession by Jeezy, and this happens to be one of my favorite songs on the album.

But isn't this like the fifth video he's made from this CD and there are at least two more confirmed...is he gonna make a video for every song?

How does that embody a recession? That's one for thought.

Changes...

Are in store...
mostly artistic...
leave your thoughts if you're feeling democratic

Fall Out Boy - America's Suitehearts Feat. Rappers?

Joe Budden, 88-Keys, and Murs to be exact.

Im listening to it as I type this description and the beat could be better but Murs kinda rips his verse and 88-Keys' verse sounds cool because of his voice effect mostly.

Most of the original America's Suitehearts is cut out though...but listen for yourself

Pharrell Spazzed...

shouts out to mediatakeout...

The negro goes crazy because Emory College Students were too close to the stage. He actually tells one person "You're ruining the f***ing show get back" (or something like that)

The bad thing is after all the abuse, he yells out "who came to party!" and everybody cheers. Wow, maybe people do like a little abuse.

Lyrical Link Roundup

Half the time I post music links...they're really for me...so that I can find them later.

However, YOU (the reader) benefit from my laziness! (But the Keri Hilson pic...is for me)

Here's a couple of links for your musical perusal:

Yung Joc - Down Low feat. T-Pain (sounds like a typical T-Pain song to me...so its decent)

Jeezy - Go Girl feat. Luda (haven't listened all the way yet but the roster sounds good)

Keri Hilson - Hey Girl feat. T-Pain & Lil Jon (sounds like a Ciara song...hope she doesn't read that)

T-Wayne - He Rap He Sings (didn't listen...but it'll either be a hit or miss)

Lil Wayne - Its Been A While (the beat sounded decent from the bit I previewed)

Lil Wayne - Im Not Human (Another one of those "Im a Martian" things...might suck)

We're Not Losers...

I wasn't gonna post it (since there's a designated Lupe Blog) but I like the concept.

Apparently, through his Twitter (ugh, that'll be addressed in another blog post) Lupe announced that the Great American Rap Album and LupEND are CANCELLED! (but not his retirement...)

Instead he'll be bringing out an album entitled Lasers.

Which he cryptically announced by saying "We're not losers, We are Lasers" (sounds like a good wallpaper premise)

So Im gonna keep watching and when I find something of equal or greater coolness I'll pass the knowledge on to my incredibly small fan base (yup, I dont lie to myself)

Shouts to Mani whose pic I had to use since it applied most :D

Hadoken

Yea, you cant always have a good title >_<.

This is a project I've been working on ever since I played Street Fighter IV for the first time. I definitely need to add something in the background and clean up the face and Hadoken. But I do love the watercolor on Corel Painter.

I find it funny that some people I know didn't know I could draw (even though Photoshop has made me pretty lazy)

Leave an opinion or suggestion in the comments (pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?)

Goodbye MetroPCS

Yea, Im done with MetroPCS...probably forever.

We had good times and bad times. Most of the bad came in the last month though. Once they KNOW you're leaving...they apparently mess with you. I had service from August until yesterday and up until March I only dropped one call and only lost connection in the super padded walls of Dillard's PA Building.

However, I dropped like four calls and started sending multiple (four was the most) texts to people...like they were trying to prove something.

And they have NO customer service. And when I did find a guy to complain to...HE COULDNT FIX ANYTHING. I asked "why is there 10 extra dollars on my bill?" and I got an answer similar to:
"Ummmmm......(2 minute pause)...I doooont know sir. There's a corporate store in Boca(I think it was Boca) that you can go to."

Im not going that far for Metro dude.

So say hello T-Mobile (where Im now anchored for two years at the least) hope we have fun together.

The Bad Thing Is SOMEBODY Is Bound to Buy One...

A fortune telling watch...Bull-honkey (Im blogging PG today)

Its supposed to fill that bedpan shaped part with brown (to emphasize its bull-ish-ness probably) everyday for a 90 minute period called Raju Kaal...which is apparently an unlucky time to make big decisions and other stuff.

Yea, and this is gonna sell for like $2000 according to FoolishGadgets.

I love watches (there pretty cool I guess) but this...this is Bull (god I should really curse here)
