RadioFire.


I just cracked open a Pepsi at 10pm. Not a good idea, but you know what is a great idea.....


My latest Top 5 Songs "You tell your friends, 'i kinda like that tune"


The radio has been straight fire over the past 2-3 months. It helps that I discovered the new Hot 97.7, but is on 87.7. It is amazing. I highly suggest wherever you are at 12pm on Tuesdays, you turn it on. It is 'Baby Making Tuesdays'. A full hour of 'let me laaaaay you dooowwnn' and 'Id rather do you after school like my homework'. Friggin brillant stuff. That music and the new jack swing need to make a comeback. Who do I speak to about that? R Kelly?


Back to the task at hand. My Top 5 songs on the radio right now but few will admit to loving.


5. Teenage Dream-Katy Perry

I know. I know. I am already ashamed, but did you not see Glee last night? Ya I know it was kind of gay, well, alot of gay seeing it was an openly gay guy singing to another openly gay guy....but it was fucking good. They were beatboxing alright! They would kill the Beealzebubs(sp?) When is there gonna be another Singing Bee on NBC?! Does that make me gay? Whatever. Lick my balls.


4. Please Don't Go-Mike Posner

This guy sounds like he is in a shower when he is singing half the time, but I like it. Just a good beat, able to get a good drum going on the steering wheel. I kinda wish I owned a synthesizer, sat in my dorm room in college at Assumption and just made beats. Instead I was busy watching Broomhead do 8min abs with no shirt on and making my Chilean roommate prank call girls with last names like Shemansky and ask her if he could "Shemansky his way down her pants tonight." Eh, life's decisions.


3. What's my name?-Rihanna

This chick. This friggin chick. I am not ashamed to admit I know the lyrics to this song. Simple recipe. Dope beat + Drake rapping + Rihanna singing about how she wants to see if some dude can dominate = GOLD. Someone needs to tell Timberlake to get on an album real quick because I am starting become a major fan of Rihanna and I am pretty sure I can't seranade a girl at a bar by singing this song. I mean, I could. But singing "I need a boy to take it over" may give off the wrong impression. Oh Na Na....whats my name......


2. Whip My Hair- Williow Smith

Come on. Seriously. I don't even have to write anything here because you already love this song. If you don't , well you don't have ears.........ya ears. It is a little challenging for me with the whole whipping my hair back n forth, but I will break my neck doing it. In the meantime, I am going to learn this dance. Youtube "Whip My Hair dance on Ellen" Girl is named like Angela or Alyssa. Ill wear the tuto.


1.Only Girl in the World-Rihanna

How can you not roll down the windows and just dance your face off while driving? Try it. You can't just sit there and drive. I dare you. The radio should play this song every 3 songs. Right now, it is like every 6 songs. Make it every 3 songs and the world will be a happier place. When is society going to make it acceptable to just start dancing in public? Why do we need to have a 'school dance' or be in a bar to shake it? I would like to start a public dance movement. You hear a song in your car that gets you moving, stop your car, get out and dance on the roof. Like an instant music video, all fuckin day.


Also receiving votes(I am the only one voting)

Raise your Glass by Pink-Good start to the song until she says 'dilly do' and I immediately go soft

Run Forrest Run!


(I literally looked like this picture, hair and all, for at least 2 weeks)
Make no mistake about it, I am bald. I choose to shave my head because I saw the writing on the wall and didn't think the 'horeshoe' look was really for me in my mid 20s. I shave my head once a week. I do not 'bic' it. I am too afraid I will have an awful reaction and my head look like the face of Charlie 'Crater Face' Coburn from the famous Bayside Cream episode on Saved by the Bell. I use clippers. No blade. Occassionally I will miss a spot on the back of my head or just behind the ears, but never in the 4 years I have been shaving my head has what I am about to say happened to me.

I was too lazy to shave my head yesterday for work Monday so I figured I would let it go because frankly, I have no one to impress at work. It is just me all day and I already like me enough. I completed a FULL work day where I was engaged in about 6-10 conversations. Long enough conversations to where the other person could have noticed something about my head. I get home, take a piss, wash my hands, check myself out in the mirror and to my SURPRISE, I discover 1 LOOONG hair on the top of my head just standing on its own. I mean, just above the forehead, in the middle of my head. Now keep in my mind, I am bald. I have nothing up there, I barely even draw the clippers over the top of my head, but somehow, someway this 1 hair seemed to escape the blades of death. And when I say it was a LONG piece of hair, I mean, it must have been growing for at least 2 weeks. I mean, it was almost curled up like Squiggy from Laverne and Shirley. Just like CHARLIE BROWN! A part of me was proud, the other part of me was like 'HOW MANY PEOPLE SAW THIS AND CARED NOT TO TELL ME! DID THEY THINK IT WAS A GOOD LOOK!? WERE THEY THINKING I WAS TRYING TO GROW MY HAIR OUT ONE BY ONE!? WHO DOES THAT!? WHO DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING! After I calmed down, I just started laughing hysterically before I was overwhelmed with a sense of pride for this one piece of hair. I didn't want to pull him out. I wanted to let him roam, let him grow, let him be free. There he was, all alone on my head, like Neil Armstrong landing on the moon. Let him run like Forrest Gump. It is the little things in life that keep you sane and it was little piece of hair that made my day. Is it a bit sad? I don't think so, I think it is pretty f'n awesome. I have the ability to grow hair on the top of my head, it may be 1 hair every 2 weeks, but I figure by age 90, Ill have hair like George Clooney or Zack Morris. It is the little things in life.

I cannot stop dancing. The past 2 weeks I have been dancing whenever and wherever. I am going to credit my fever for dance to the death of MJ coming up June 25th. I have listened to nothing but MJ all week. Guy is great. I miss him.


I have been absolutely killing my kitchen floor with dance moves. Whoever lives below me must be pissed, but I bet they are saying 'that kid can dance'.


I wish the world we lived in allowed us to break out in choreographed dances from music videos at the most random places. Everyone would be alot happier and the world would be a much cooler place. I can already see me in the 'Love is a Battlefield' dance while I waited in line at the grocery store.


I learned to dance by watching MJ videos and BET. And I am damn proud of it. After this past weekend, I am glad I have the ability to dance with rhythm rather than being able to solve a word problem correctly or understand the stock market. It is really depressing watching people dance that think they can dance. But it is hilarious watching people that can't dance, but know they can't dance cause they just don't give it a shit. I like those people.


I remember my first dance circle. Do you? I was 11. I was in 6th grade. I was at Nite Spot. I had been going to Nite Spot for the last few months but never participated in the dance circle or 'Doing the Butt' because I was too nervous. So each day I would ride the bus home and sit at the front so I could hear the radio. I would ask Kathy the bus driver to put on 94.5 a few stops before my house, that way I could hear the last song playing before I got off the bus. If I liked it, I would run home, slam my bedroom door, lock it, and turn up the radio and dance in front of the mirror. I did this for weeks upon weeks until I taught myself at least 1 move the fifth grade girls would really dig. During that stretch, I taught myself how to body roll(its actually all in the knees) and some move where I kick my legs out, I don't think it has a name. I finally told myself I would enter the dance circle the next Nite Spot, no matter what. Saturday night came and I waited, and waited, and waited for the right song to come on. After hours of standing up against the wall, watching guys impress chicks with their Running Man and such, my song came on....


'Every Little Step' by Bobby Brown. When I tell you my face lit up and I ripped off my Georgetown Hoyas chalkline, you might have thought it was on fire. But in reality, my feet were on fire. I pushed a couple dudes out of the way and I went to work. The crowd went nuts and it was at that moment I knew I was meant for the dance circles. From then on out, I knew I had a gift for a white kid. And after this weekend, watching some guys dance, I am so glad I have rhythm and not the ability to balance a checkbook or be able to ice skate. I can dance and I am going to dance my face off wherever I can on Friday night in honor of Michael Jackson.


Ah Celts in 6 still..........and Bieber "Somebody to Love", I can't get enough of it. I need help.

Its Game 7 and I can't listen to Stu Scott for 3 hours


It's Game 7 of the NBA Finals and I have done the best I can to avoid all sports talk radio, all ESPN pregame and other nonsense about the game tonight. I just feel like it is all pointless and none of it comes true. Game 7s are the most unpredicatable games. And to listen to a bunch of reporters talk about 'stepping up', 'leaving it on the court', and 'no turning back' gets to be pretty boring. So in order to pass the next 3 hours, I figured I would just write about anything.


As a kid with male pattern baldness, I get real annoyed with guy's hair-dos. I say to myself, you have this tremendous gift of hair and thats how you choose to wear it. Thats how I feel when I see Justin Bieber. Now, I like Bieber(its a phase, I swear), but his hair-do makes my head spin. Throw some LA Looks in it or something man, change it up. I hope all his hair falls out soon and he has only pictures of that hair-do to remember his hair. Disgusting.


Celts win tonight. I had to get it out there so I can tell people 'I told you so'.


My dad texted me to come by the house after work because he made a couple sandwiches. And by a 'couple' he meant............18. I know have 13 cold cut sandwiches in my fridge. They will be gone by Tuesday.


I don't like provolone cheese. It tastes funny to me.


I had a guy tell me he tried renting rollerblades. I found that weird. People still 'blade'? You can rent rollerblades?


I need to visit Rollerworld soon. Who is in?


I have never been on skis, skates, or rollerblades. I would be like a newborn calf trying to walk if I were to lace a pair up. I am putting it on my bucket list.


Nate Robinson plays big minutes tonight.


Oreo cookies are slowly creeping up to the #1 spot on my favorite cookie list. Chewy Chips Ahoy are holding it right now, but not by much. I should be writing a Top 20 Cookie list soon.


How good is that Alejandro song by Lady Gaga? Shit.


Someone told me about Hot 97.7 now being Hot 87.7 now. Let me tell you, their Back in the Day Buffet is light years better than 94.5s the last couple days. Just pure early 90s slow jams. H-Town. Shai. Silk. Bobby Brown. I forgot how great a song Tender Roni was. I think I want to be Every Little Step Bobby Brown for halloween just so I can do the dance and wear that outfit. But I have yet to fulfill my dream of being the Karate Kid shower..........one day.


Look out for Lamar Odom tonight. He scares me for whatever reason.


I am making it a mission to learn how to Pop N Lock by Longden's wedding in October. I need a new move for the dance floor. I have realized doing 'The Worm' is the end of the line for me. When I go to that in a dance off like I did 3 weeks ago, I am toast. Need a new move and its coming.


So let me get this straight, there is a new Michael Jackson video game coming out and all you have to do is dance like him. I hope it comes with the glittered outfit from the Rock With Ya video. That is on my Christmas List.


I had an old lady push me out of the way of a door the other day. You really can't yell at her cause she won't hear you and you can't really retaliate because you could kill her. It was a lose lose situation.


It's fuckin Game 7. Celts win by 3. Enjoy the weekend.


And with the recent events and conversations I have had with friends, I need to say this.




'The attitude you bring towards life, determines the attitude life brings towards you.'


We all need to start being nicer to each other and being there for one another. No arguement is too big to say goodbye to a loved one. We only have one life and we can't control the future, only the present. When your feet hit the floor in the morning, be thankful for your health, your family and your friends. Live in the moment. I am not saying live each day like its your last, but live it, thats all. Say how you feel, tell your family you care about them, don't think just do. Go after what you want and have no regrets about it. Happiness truly is the key to life.

Get your popcorn ready...


The NBA Finals are here. I like the NBA. I listen to sports talk radio all day long while I work. I played basketball up until the 10th grade. I led my team to a WBA Finals game when I was 11. I wore Pumps. I own a healthy collection of Air Jordans. I won a 3pt shootout. I shot a 3 for a T in Warrior Country as well. All these things make me feel as if I am more than qualified to write a 2010 NBA Finals prediction blog right?




It does not so I am just going to tell you things that I am going to watch for and hope they come true....


LET ME HEAR IT!!!!!



-How many times Doc says the word 'together' tonight during the timeouts.

-If Celtic goes down, count how long it takes for a Celtic to help him up and then if a Laker goes down. The Cs got back to the RAH RAH TEAM mode once May rolled around and its showed.

-If Rasheed knocks down his 1st shot of each game he seems to let that carry him, if not...heads up.

-Perk Face. Perk Dribble. Perk Get Blocked.

-I cant hate Ron Artest because he wears #37 in honor of MJ for making Thriller stay #1 on the charts for 37 straight weeks. Not to mention he has a rap song called 'Michael Michael Michael, you my N-word'. Kazaa that shit.

-How Phil Jackson decides to handle Rondo. I think Jackson is such a cocky bastard he will just lay off Rondo with Kobe and play 5 on 4. Look for Rondo to attack that and use his floater in the lane, and not settle for the jumpshot.

-KG. Just watch him eat up Gasol, that fuckin llama.

-I love the Celtics bench in this series. They can go another 5 deep, while LA only has Odom and Shannon Brown to really rely on. If Bynum can only go 9-12 mins a game, that will put more pressure on Odom to play major minutes. There is just something about Glen Davis that makes me wanna hug him after every play.

-O/U on Khloe Kardashian being shown each game. I will put it at 2.5. I am gonna take the over, she is pregnant and Lamar takes his time at the free throw line.

-I love the Sheed 3pt basket gesture. Watch for it.

-Nate Robinson after every 3pt shot made by the bench. Dude just breaks down into the robot or something. RESPECT.

-Vujacic and his rat face. He will play at a very weird time and he will look to do something dirty. It will happen this series.

-Kobe vs Pierce. Its the main storyline for me. Kobe is seeking revenge on not only '08 but on Pierce for stealing his Finals MVP. Pierce immediately said he should be mentioned in the same breath as Kobe and Lebron after the '08 Finals. I dont like that he said that because the Black Mamba does not forget that shit. The Celtics need to do what they did to Wade and James, let Kobe get his, but really D up on the others. Its the best supporting cast they have seen these playoffs and its going to make or break the series.

-Doc vs Phil. I still dont know what Phil Jackson does as a coach beside sit there. I can see Doc coaching, I don't really see Phil coaching, just trying his zen bullshit to get the refs to call something in the next game.

-Ray Allen. 18+pts, the Celtics win. Its a lock.


I like the Celtics in 6. They steal Game 1 and ruin Phil Jackson's record of being 47-0 in series after he wins Game 1. Its a stat. I heard it. And it ends tonight.


Celts in 6. Too deep. Too hungry. Too many matchups in their favor.

X Factor-The Bench



Its the Finals and I could not be anymore excited to be witnessing another Lakers/Celtics final. All I really wish for is Bob Costas to do the play by play, NBC to pick up the coverage and for them to play that 90s NBA theme music. LET ME HEAR IT!!!

GOTTA GET BACK IN TIME!


Sooooooooooooooo. I'm back.




Boy has time gone by since my last entry. I fully admit, it has been way too long. But I have made a re-commitment to this blog and hope I can apply myself to keep up with my thoughts and experiences to share with the world. Let's just dive right into this thing and hit you with a potpourri of thoughts.


-I saw a fat kid walking around the Tufts campus last week sporting a short that said 'JUMBO FAN'. I laughed.


-I returned to the gym and saw a dude walk in with 3 gatorades, a water bottle, an empty water bottle with some powder in it. Then proceeded to watch him put down and pick up all 5 bottles every time he changed machines. There has to be an easier way right? How about just 1 bottle, thats just me though.


-My mother goes to HOME GOODS every weekend. I went today and will never be returning. I don't know how she does it because I will assume most of the stuff is the same week to week.


-Who would have thought a simple purchase of a decorative shower curtain, coupled with a pair of hand towels would make my bathroom go from the YMCA to a likeable bathroom.


-If you dont't have any Bieber on your IPOD, you are missing out. I'm just saying.


-Have you seen the newest Ciara video? Do yourself a favor and watch it.


-I have my Windows Player on right now and Ginuwine just came on. What happened to that guy? And why do I have Ginuwine on my playlist? How old is this playlist!


-I have a buddy in barber school call me last week to practice on me. I am bald and he knew that before he called. I did let him use a straight razor blade on my face though, I highly recommend it.


-My brother passed out giving blood last week. This only confirmed he will not be in the delivery room when his first child is born in August.


-I'M GONNA BE AN UNCLE!!! WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT!


-I can finally fulfill my fantasy of being Uncle Jesse now.


-I never realized how difficult it is to try and prepare a meal for yourself every night of the week without it being microwaveable. I like my Hungy Jack dinners and Mama Celestes like the next guy, but I also like living life.


-That reminds me I need an apron and cookbook cause I will become a good cook. I have no choice.


-Cals came over today and we played StreetFighter 4 for PS3. I own the game, Cals never played it. He beat me 17 straight games. RESPECT.


-I went to Whiskey Priest this past weekend. I never had a bigger urge to dance my face off, unfortunately Whiskey Priest has the WORST jukebox ever constructed. Even the employees didn't know how it worked. The place quickly went from a 7 to a 3 in my mind.


-98 Degress is now playing . And I am not changing it.


-I still can't believe that I get to witness another Celtics/Lakers NBA Final. I hope to blog about the matchup before Game 1 on Thursday. I like to think I know my NBA, we will find out.


-I want to get tattoo. I will have one by the end of the summer. But it will not be a chinese symbol or barbed wire, I heard those are no longer cool.


-My new apartment complex is basically a nursing home because I have not seen one person younger than 72, so its quiet. And all the cars parked in the lot are crooked.


-I wish I took up the saxaphone when I was in 7th grade, I think by now I would be really really good.


-I need to start singing karaoke because I sounded really good in the car today.


- I said Lee Dewyze would win Idol, just sucks no one was around to hear it, but I said it.


-Lee Dewyze will vanish faster than Taylor Hicks. Just a prediction.


-I went to GNC to buy some products and the clerk was able to sell me on some protein drink because he was able to gain like 200lbs on his leg press. I don't even know what the leg press looks like but I want to gain 200lbs on my leg press!


-Has the public forgiven Chris Brown yet because I need for him to start performing on live shows soon.


-Hey, Timberlake! Where the fuck is your new album? I can't hear 'YOU ME ME YOU ME YOU YOU ME YOU YOU ME ME YOU YOU ME ME ME ME YOU YOU YOU YOU' anymore.


-I bought a coffee table today. It completely changed my apartment to awesome.


-I wore my MJ shirt out last week to a bar. No one gave a shit because I think they all thought I got it after he died. Not true. Unfortunately there is no way for me to proof this, so the 3 people that know this will be enough.

IDOL ME.


Its Tuesday. Do you know what that means? No, its no fishstick night. Its American Idol Performance night!! I will admit, I am an Idol junkie. Not to the point where I have ever voted, but enough of a junkie to watch it religously. I like to think I know what is going to happen, so with that said, I am going to rank the remaining 8 contestants. I would have done this earlier with the Top 13 but I had to wait for my girl Meghan Joy to be voted off the show. I did not want to be bias in any form or fashion. Ok. Lets break it down.


THANKS FOR PLAYING

Scott MacIntyre- We get it dude. You are blind and you can play the piano...well with your eyes closed(too harsh huh). Is anybody else a little freaked out by him. Don't get me wrong, I think its incredible what he can do with his disability, but do what Stevie and Ray did, throw some shades on or something. But your voice. Its not enough man. You make every song sound the exact same. At one point, I thought you sang the same song back to back weeks. If you want to a chance to stick around, ditch the piano, stand in front of a mic stand(it can act as a cane too) and just sing. No piano in the song either. Good chance you peace out after this week.


Anoop Desai- You had me early on with the Bobby Brown performance because I am huge fan of 90s R&B, but ever since then.....I cant stand you. I pretty much lost all hope for you when you butchered MJ the first week. Although its not your fault. I hate when Idol makes them sing songs from an artist who just cannot be touched. They tell them all the time, don't sing Whitney or Mariah cause they are too big and too distinct, but hey, lets give them a week of Michael Jackson. HELLO! He is the most recognizable voice of all time. But Anoop, you picked Beat It and made me want to be beat you. Just stop. And then you pick Usher out of all the songs you can pick, you pick Usher. Cmon bro. Do you. And you is not a formerly colored black man or a soulful black man. You could be done after this week. Who dresses you by the way? Scott MacIntyre?


STOP SCREAMING AND MAYBE...

Allison Iraheta- When you sing, you scream. enough said. Too young. Moving on....


GIRLS RULE THE WORLD

Matt Giraud- The only reason you are still standing is because the little girls think you sound like Justin Timberlake and keep voting for you. And you wear scarfs and silly hats too. But in all honesty, I like you man. You got that soulful voice and stuff, but JT you are not. Stick with the keyboard and bring me some soul. You can sing man, but sooner or later the little girls are gonna realize you are not J Tims......tick tock tick tock.


Kris Allen- Alright. I got you lumped in this category because I can't put you in your own category and I can't put you in a better one. You got the chick votes. Hands down. Wife or no wife. You may have pulled out the wife card too early, but I feel ya on wanting to get it out there that you are married. You are the sleeper I feel in this competition. You just need to keep doing what you are doing, but lets get a little upbeat and move around the stage. You just stand or sit. MOVE. But if you can't dance or have rhythm, then sit doggie, sit.


YOU CAN DO IT....BUT.....

Lil Rounds- I love ya Lil. Love ya. But you are screwed. Every other word from the judges is about being like Mary J. You can't do that. There is only one Mary J. I know what they are saying, but Im sorry sista, you can't do it. I will say you need to throw some funk into it, some blackness. What was that Celine Dion shit last week??? BREAK IT DOWN. Throw some stank on it and just work it out. You are great, but it may not be enough. I am pulling for ya because I do trust a big butt and a smile.


I HATE YOU BUT....

Adam Lambert- Man Alive you like boys huh. But thats not why I hate you. I hate you because you scream like guy who got his dick stuck in a vaccuum....although you may like that. But bro, you can sing and you are different. Thats what the people want. They want weirdo. Look at whats his face from New Orleans who won....the guy who looks like someones uncle......TAYLOR! Thanks Google. He fuckin' won and it was because he was great entertainer. You got stage presence man. But stop screaming. Please. Now I hate dogs, fear them actually, but I even feel for them when you yelp like 12 octaves high. Right now you are the lead pony in this race.....but........


GOKE ME

Dan Fuckin' Gokey- You my friend, dumb glasses aside, are awesome. I get the goosebumbs when you sing. You blow it out. Man, I wish I could fuckin hold a note like this. You can't dance, but man oh man, you can saaaaaang. Not to mention you got the whole 'my wife just died' story in the backpocket. But you have not broken it out yet, you have not sang that song yet thats dedicated to her. You have just done what the judges told you and bring it. You win in my book. You won't get my vote but you win. GOKES. GOKES. GOKES.



Can we someone shoot Paula tonight?? She makes no sense and takes 6 days to get her words out. Get rid off all the judges except Simon. He knows what he is talking about. Listen to him tonight, guarantee you agree with at least 98% of the things he says. EASILY.
