Me: gimmie a local (transfer)
Bus Driver: why?
Me: what?

Me: (puzzled) um, the #3?
BD: you need an inter-agency for that
Me: for a #3 Culver City bus?? This is a #6 Culver City bus, why would I need to change agencies?
BD: well, I'm not supposed to do this but...

The transfer was free, mind you, and I am getting argued down for requesting one?

So anyway, I go to Borders, then Starbucks, and I see Jasmine Guy outside.

Someone call Beyonce

I watched american idol again...

These shows are comedy...

From start to finish this was a hoot...

literally...

The first nigga with the dry fro, who aint even want to sing, then started cussin.... then he aint even get a CHANCE to sing, then he dissed ryan ('you look like you bout 40')

Then there was Fooking Lee... that had an Austin Powers gag written all over it by itself. But, Havard grad, pianist, glitter on the arms, singing was, as simon said, 'beyond horrific'... worse, she had the nerve to say her sisters and mom were professional singers...

I wanna know what profession...

Then there was the chick who sounded like she had snot in her throat (just phlegm... did I spell that right Calvin?) and big Latriece... who coulda been big larry, I don't know...

Next up we had the Thriller Chick, because Randy said she sang like a ghost... after awhile they started playin thunder in the background...

'twas sad... Funny as shit, but sad.

After her was the Lounge Lizard lookin fool who sang 'She's a Lady'. Commentary:

Max: lounge singer right here
OJ: you know?
Max: this is like a bad stallone movie
Max: over the top
OJ: LMAO!!!
OJ: dammit to hell

Next was the Special Ed pointer sister. She was pale, had a lisp, and tried to shake non-existant ass. Then why she try to argue Simon down as to her no singin ass? what made it worse was Simon said 'If you can find 10 people who say you can sing then I'll apologize'. So this girl goes to the mall....

Not. Even. One.

COMEDY!!!!

There was a break in the action...

Max: venus is playin
OJ: word?
OJ: where?
Max: espn2
OJ: cool


We get back to the action, and the Black Wedding Singer who followed, made it.

Then some other fools who made Simon and Randy walk out the room...

And Lastly, the sheep... he got up there and was like BAAAAAA BAAAAAAA

then got mad and threw water at Simon, which got him escorted out by Houston P.D.

*whew*

That was funny, Dave Chappelle is gonna cap this night off....

In Other News...

The sauce... man...

after all this bullshit about eminem, guess who appears on the cover...

Marshall fucking Mathers....

I need to read this to see what is goin on really, but its turning out to be more fucked up than that dumb ass JD-Timbaland beef (lol)

Speaking of Timmy, Indian Flute is kinda hot.

Thats it for right now... Dave in 25 min...

EDIT... No Dave for me tonight

The Comedy Central on DirecTV is on Eastern time, so yes, when I was in the Chat, I coulda logged off n watched dave too...

American Idol

You know, I know that I cannot sing.

I know this.

Write a song, maybe...

But sing it? nah.

And I am ok with that.

But on American Idol

I dont know...

I mean, it don't even be borderline people.

It be the people with NO talent.

The off key ones

The tone-deaf ones

The ones who forget the words...

Let me stop here...

You're going to sing... and you forget the words... and THEN get mad when they tell you to take yo ass home?

2 words... Jack... Ass...

In Other News...

Bush did his state of the union thing. Big deal. I want to know who his speech writers are and how they manage to give him that material with a straight face...

Iowa Caucuses

(1st in a series)

Welp the Iowa Caucuses are over.

The winner was John Kerry, in second was John Edwards, finishing a distant 3rd was Howard Dean, who was followed by Dick Gephardt (who is dropping out, much to her chagrin, and Dennis Kucinich.

Finishing behind 'Uncommitted' were Joe Lieberman, Wesley Clark, Al Sharpton, and Carol Moseley Braun, who dropped out earlier in the week.

Now, what does all this mean?

It means that Kerry and Edwards have serious momentum heading into the next primary in New Hampshire.

Dean, Clark and Lieberman? eh, we'll see...

I think Sharpton's campaign is more symbolic than anything. He is there to remind folk of some black concerns. I mean, he has no loot, so there is no way he can win. I DO hope he gets a nice showing in South Carolina, but the way Edwards showed out in Iowa (he is from NC) there's no way to tell...

In Other News...

Lakers lost to Phoenix, and Zeke is trying to take the Bulls' best scorer away...

noooooooo we suck enough, thank you!

And can someone tell me why the Super Bowl is in February??

I'm wearing an ankle brace now too, since I am running again and don't want to aggravate the sprain in it.

Happy King Day (observed), people...

Super Bowl XXXVIII & Stuff

Panthers vs Patriots...

I bet you no one woulda picked THAT Super Bowl, lol....

Will Tom Brady win another for New England? Or will the Panthers win their first?

We'll see... in February.... what's THAT about...

In Other News...

Did anybody find it a lil bit odd but not surprising that NOI is now doing security for Mike J.?

Tomorrow, the nation will observe Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday as a holiday. I am glad of this, of course, but over 35 years after his death, I have to wonder...

Is the dream still alive? In all of us? In any of us?

Think on that for a few...

Not Guilty

This is what Michael Jackson said in court today.

Story.

Damn, I SHOULD have went to go stand outside the courthouse. These niggas had a party afterwards at Neverland...

It woulda been better than standing outside in, say, Boston! (BRRRRRRR)

R.I.P. Superfly aka Ron O'Neal

Popeye is 75. Old ass.

More News...

Lakers got crushed tonight in Sacramento. Which would be a big deal if all of their 'Living Hall of Fame' was on the floor.

No Shaq.

No Kobe (and no more McDonalds endorsements for him...)

No Karl Malone.

Just GP, with a little help from Kareem Rush.

Got beat by 20.

LOL

Not much to work with tonight. And it looks like it may be an ultra-slow, 3-day weekend. It is a time of reflection, so tomorrow's post will sort of deal with that....

Dubya is back on it

Bush got booed in Atlanta today.

Good.

10 percent of The Blacks voted for him last election. That's about, what, 4 people? And I know who they were too!

Alan Keyes, Condi Rice, Colin Powell and Clarence Thomas!

Seriously, though, Black folk need to vote when the time comes. Literally, too many people died for you to hang your chad!

So, vote early, and if you are in Chicago, vote often *wink*....

In Other News....

Friday 5 on Thursday because I'm bored, lol

1. What does it say in the signature line of your emails?
Only one address I have has a signature, and that is: "I would've got away with it, if it weren't for you meddling kids!"

2. Did you have a senior quote in your high school yearbook? What was it? If you haven't graduated yet, what would you like your quote to be?
I didn't have a quote, we had 'ambitions'. Mine was to be an investment banker. Nevermind I went to college the next fall and majored in Chemistry.

3. If you had vanity plates on your car, what would they read? If you already have them, what do they say?
They would say PADE 4, lol.

4. Have you received any gifts with messages engraved upon them? What did the inscription say?
No, just my name engraved, which, when you think about it, is a message unto itself, lol

5. What would you like your epitaph to be?
Told em not to pee on that electric fence....

Credit where (past) due

I just got done looking at my credit report.

I was not schocked by what I found, which was a lotta shit.

At this rate, I will be a proud homeowner at the age of 72.

I'll buy my first new car at 63.

Etc Etc Etc....

This comes from years of abruse and what-not. But the good news is that most of it is relatively easy to fix, and there isn't a huge load of credit card debt.

Credit is not something I think about every day, if at all. It was like, well, I will just pay cash, which actually gets you looked at funny in places like, Airports.

In Other News...

Indianapolis beat KC today. Peyton Manning is the truth. 8 Tds, no INTs this postseason.

Philly beat Green Bay Today. YES!

So your Championship games are as follows:

Carolina at Philadelphia

Indianpolis at New England

Any bets? lol

Not much else going on, I mean there was some college basketball n stuff, but nothing earth-shattering.

Oh yeah, I did try to audblog, but my voice sounded wayyyy too f'ed up. So it wont be heard lol

Playoff Saturday (Radio Edit)

Welp...

This entry was angry... if anyone got a chance to see it, my bad.

Patriots beat Tennessee, boooo

Panthers beat the Rams, I'm glad because Mike Martz is a pussy for a coach. Last 3 minutes of the game after a daring onside kick, they run a couple plays, kick the FG to tie, instead of driving it down Carolina's throat for the TD. I told OJ, the football gods would not bless that, and they didn't...

Ah well, KC-Indy and Green Bay-Philly are tomorrow...

No other news to report tonite, it was slow...

Oh, I-boogie's lil audio blog is cute, but since I get teased about my voice I shan't be trying it out, lol

Answer, Man!

Lashundra Axed:

Did you get my email with my mailing addy on it so you can send me the time cd you said you would?
Yes, and when I hit the post office, I got you.

What did you do for new years?
Drank, crushed the competition in dominoes, and watched comedy dvds at a friend of a friend's house, something like that lol

What was that ohio chic thinking when she lied about having the winning ticket?
No one claimed the ticket yet, so if I cry real hard....

Will M.Jackson be sentenced to jail and for how long?
I don't know if he would get jail time. I mean, this case looks kinda bad, but if they get the right psychologist to interview him and be an expert witness, he may be ok...

Are you attending a superbowl party this year?
I don't know of any..... Yet...

what are you doing this weekend?
probably studying and writing.

Reddy Axed:

What was your favorite drink @ the new yrz party. The french martini, the purple stuff, or something else.
The Purple stuff was off the hook, so imma go with that. The french martini was a close second, but don't tell nobody lol

What steps are you going to take, to make yourself the opposite of that antisocial word OJ called you (sociopath).
I don't know, anybody got any suggestions?


OJ Axed:

do you know how to do the robot?

I CAN DO THE ROBOT! lol


Nexy Axed:

Aren't you tired of all these versions and variations of the Cha Cha Slide?
In LA they don't dance no mo, all they do is this... and I am glad I ain't hear or see none of that while I was in Chicago I woulda been mad.

Better album... Beyonce or Alicia Keys? and why?
I ain't heard neither (not a fan of R&B) but I would venture to say Alicia Keys' album based on her musicality, if that's a word.

Looking forward to Kill Bill Volume II?
When I see Volume I, I will look forward to it more lol

My goal is to blog at least once everyday in the month, so my MT calendar will be full. How about you? lol
I've tried to do that, and I always seem to miss a day, so imma try in February, which is the shortest month...

What is your greatest memory of a sporting event that you went to in person? How about watched on TV?
In person, there's this Cubs-Cardinals game they are always showing on ESPN Classic where Ryne Sandberg hit a homer in the 9th to tie and like the 11th to win it for the Cubs, that shit was standing room only and I was there, sitting on my cousin's shoulders so I can see, since he was standing up too.

On TV, I was at Michael Jordan's Restaurant when the Bulls won in 96, the year they went 72-10 and fucked up EVERYBODY. Can you say, free drinks? lol

Thank ya'll for coming, God bless you, goodnight.

Step in the name of Cars

Someone from Chi, explain this one please:

Back home, I got up on a Saturday morning and turn on the TV. What do I see? A stepper's set in progress. I'm like, hmm, it's a lil early for that, but ok, its on a random channel (like 26 The 'U') so I let that slide.

Next, the hosts come on and mention something like Salaam entertainment.

So I say, whoa, NOI hosts stepper sets now? How uplifting. But I let that slide too, because Allah knows the nation cannot survive on bean pies and The Final Call alone.

But this last part is what kills it.

The guy hands over the mic to this white guy, who is really outta place. He announces that they are giving tickets away to the next set, so I'm like, alrighty then. Not only does NOI host stepper sets, but do so with white folk. So I am shaking my head, but intrigued.

Finally, as the white guy starts the Good Credit, Bad Credit, No Credit speech, it all comes clear. This was just an infomercial for a car dealership in the suburbs.

LOL. Too funny.

In Other News...

Welp, I got my grades for last semester...

3 A's, one B...

And someone had the nerve to ask, how did you get a 'B'? lol


Man, this Thugzo shit is mad funny (Check the Calvin link). I bet you this nigga think he hard telling peeps to log on to dimesonly.com to talk shit...

That's like some nigga sayin to me, me and my boys gone jump your crew, his boys consistin of B2K, Bow Wow and Roger from Sister Sister....

Nigga What?

Let's Get It Over With...

I am less-than enthusiastic about going back to Los Angeles tomorrow morning.

I have had more fun in 2-some-odd weeks in Chicago than I have in like 4 and a half years living in America's Armpit. Or Ass, I think L.A. is the ass of America. I don't now, it's one of the 2, lol.

But, I got a winter session and a Spring Semeter to finish for a degree, so I need to put my petty dislikes about the southland aside and finish.

But then again, outside of the family and a few friends, there is not much going on here either, like someone said, you been gone for 2 years, its even worse when you consider that in 4 years I have been in chicago a total of like 3 weeks.

So, yeah, shit is gonna dry up after awhile. Bad part is, in the place I been the last 4 years, I don't have anything here, either. it has just been brought to my attention that this is a bad thing. Under normal circumstances that would not bother me, since I am hardly ever in the mode to 'build', as it were; I am always (until recently) in a constant state of movement and flux.

It kinda helped me out to keep moving, instead of sticking around, but thats going to get into other problems, so I'mma leave this be for now...

In Other News,

I have been 30 for 2 weeks.

It sucks.

Thank you.

Be Careful What You Wish For...

I was sitting complaining that I bought those Black Timbs for nothing...

Lo, and behold, 10 inches of snow fall.

And I had to shovel the driveway....

It was cool though, took me all of 45 minutes. And... I got to play in snow before I go back to the land with out Soul--I mean SNOW... yeah... that's what I mean...

I am going to try to end my antisocial behavior when I go back. I have NO idea how to do that, especially since, if you seen me in Chicago, I am kicking it, chillin, doing all kinds of shit...

In Los Angeles, I feel alienated and pissed all the time that I ain't gone yet, like the more I wanna leave, the more shit conspires to have me stay... It bugged me to no end, but I am going to try to be more 'sociable'...

Any Suggestions?

In Other News...

Being Home and What was the Purple Stuff?

Welp...

My time here in Chicago is almost up.

I must say that I am going to miss it here. I have done things here at home that I have not done in two years, like, drink a lot, eat Harold's, Giordano's, J&J Fish, Chinese Food with the fluffy Egg Foo Yong, Garrett's Popcorn and Jays potato chips (which reminds me, someone asked me to pick some up for them...).

I hung out with family n friends I ain't seen in years, cuz most of them can't or won't visit Cali.

What shocked me the most though, was during the first few days moms and I caught up on what has been going on in the family. Through this, I heard a lotta bad shit, like deaths, kids falling out wit parents, weird religious conversions, baby daddies n mommas all over again, you know, typical family drama for the most part now that I think about it. But then I asked:

Me: Anything GOOD going on?

Moms: Well, my son is graduating from college soon...

Keep in mind I am the only son she got.

I was like damn. Max is the best thing going.

'bout damn time! LOL

After years of frustration and all that things are turning the corner!

Quick Christmas 'wrap-up'... I got cash...

Birthday Wrap: I went to the boat to gamble.. There's 2 gambling boats that are right next to each other, the Majestic Star and Trump's boat. I got there and they were like, free drinks, but it was like soda n juice... SHIT

I am a nickel-slot fiend, don't know why though. But.. I did win like 2,000 nicks at once, like $100. so that wasnt bad.

Spent time with my friends, drank 2 of those big ass Long Island Ice Teas at Friday's, got the embarassing 'birthday' song. Got back to the Residence Inn and had that Hypnotiq-Hennessey thing, The Hulk, and some Chandon courtesy of Reddy, bullshitted all night and that was it...

Oh yeah the purple stuff in the other post was like, Hurricane, Remy Red, Remy Grape, Malibu and Hypnotiq.... something like that....

I'll probably kinda randomly finish this tomorrow or something...

In Other News...

The Shoe Nerds were out in force last night at Niketown, waiting to collect some more Air Force Ones....

Can someone explain this to me?

I guess its like how people in Chi used to ditch classes to buy the latest Jordans... I got out of that quickly. Anytime I got a pair a week ago and because a different color came out, they are out of style? That's a lil TOO trendy for me, even if I COULD keep up...

I drove around the old high school. They have a track and a football practice field now...

They finished the last football season 0-8 and scored like 3 TDs...

ugh... do I HAVE to go back to Cali?

OH! I did get (conditionally) accepted to a school to finish undergrad..!

More on that later...

It's New Years Day

Happy New Year and all that. Time now for my first real entry in like what, 3 weeks? lol

It's about 5pm Central Standard Time, and I got a headache. Yes, I drank. A lot? Depends on who you ask.

I went out with Reddy to her friend's sister's house (I think). The food was nice and her and her husband were great hosts. We played this black version of jeopardy game and what-not, which was cool. I learned some things I did not know before, but our team lost. I tried to call a lifeline for our last question but it wasn't allowed.

After the Champange toast I played dominoes with 3 other brothas.

I dominated.

I won the first game and was well in control of the second when everyboday started watching that comedy DVD with DL Hughley, Sommore, and J. Anthony Brown n em. After that, another comedy DVD, Dave Chappelle's special on HBO, then I left.

What did Max drink? welp, some purple stuff, some red stuff, like 3 shots of bacardi O, and Reddy fixed me this martini thing, twice. I usually don't drink martinis but I made an exception cuz it was decent.

Then I went to Wal-Mart, bought more pajamas, and went home to wish my parents a happy anniversary in person.

It was 8:45 am when I got there. lol

All in all though, it was a decent night.

When I get back home, I will get to gettin about all the stuff I did on my Winter Vacation.

In Other News...

How come no one ever tells Michael Jackson to like, shut the fuck up?

And if they do, why don't he listen?

I am loath to wonder what crazy ass laws await my L.A. return, but now in the state of Illinois it is illegall to drive in the left lane of a highway for more than 1/8 of a mile.

an 8th.

as in, like a block.

I think this means unless you passing someone, but still...

Ok, I need a Tylenol...
