'It's Going To Be Legen- Wait For It... -Dary!'...

So weird not having homework your mind. I was never much of a homework doer =S hmm. Thinking about it, my least productive day is probably Mondays...

The reason is because I watch too much TV. A lot of my shows are on including How I Met Your Mother and Heroes, as well as, the occasional House and ocassional One Tree Hill (shh!,lol). Currently it is nearing the end of the season.

It's currently season 4 of How I Met Your Mother. This show is HILARIOUS. It's a really good show with a solid background story and concept. It's basically about the main character Ted Mosbey's life in present-day New York. The narration takes place in the year 2030 and the voice of Bob Sagat tells the story, to his kids, of 'how he met their mother'...

It's a long story that is told over time. It's a story of Ted's life with his friends and girl problems. Each girl he meets could eventually be revealed to be his wife (their mother). For example, this season came close to revealing his wife, when he met Stella and was left at the alter so close. Selectively they reveal clues of what to expect when he actually meets his wife...

One of my favourite parts of the show is how the storylines interconnect. The episodes aren't hallow fillers. They actually have plot development and contribute to future plots. Some notable stars include Neil Patrick Harris (aka Doogie Howser sp!?) and Jason Segal (aka Peter from Forgettign Sarah Marshall).

Another show that I seen every episode thus far is Heroes. If you don't already know it's about a world of people with powers and abilities. It follows each character through the development of their powers and through their lives. There have been 3 seasons and 4 volumes thus far. Season 1 is Volume One: Generations and season 2 is Volume Two: Genesis. This current season 3, consists of two volumes due to the writer's strike cutting the 3rd volume short; Volume Three: Villians and Volume Four: Fugatives respecitively...

This past Monday, season 3 wrapped up with some serious twist. Imagine this. A senetor with flying ablity dies, he's a good guy. Then the ultimate bad guy who has the ability to shape-shift and extract memories is unconscious. He is then brainwashed by another hero and convinced he is the senetor that died; he is forced to shape-shift into that person and extract his memories. So now one of the powerful people in America is the ultimate evil, and he doesn't know it yet. Maybe hard to follow but twisted nonetheless...

The 4th season is Volume 5: Redemption. Showcasing Sylar posing as Nathan Petrelli as Senetor of New York. Everything's gonna crash and burn when he finds out the truth. They hint at his curiosity of 'not being himself' and given Sylar's past, he's too smart to not figure it out...

The show notably stars Hayden Panettiere as Clair Benit who has the the ability to regenerate and essentially never die; she is the star of the movie I Love You, Beth Cooper (which looks super dumb, lol). It also stars Masi Oka as Hiro Nakamura (who starred in Get Smart) Ali Larter as the triplets (who is the crazy pshycho-stalker chick in Obsessed) and Zachary Quinto as the ultimate super villian Sylar (who is Mr. Spock himself of the upcoming Star Trek movie, epic).

And that's basically my Mondays.

I'm out like season three of Heroes...

It's The Lights, You're Blinded By The Action...

Right now I'm just trying to kill time. I'm downtown and my trains at 11:30. I hadda whack morning. Let's not talk about that. I'm in the GB computer lab where Champion Archers are born, lol.

I never been on Kanye's blog in a while. I thought this photograph was pretty cool. It features two of our biggest fashion icons; super model Kate Moss and fashion designer Marc Jacobs together with Justin Timberlake, a 'fashion icon' in his own right as well. It's from the May issue of Vogue and shot by photographer Annie Leibovitz...

Leibovitz is a photographer of celebrities. She does work for many different renowned magazines including the aforementioned Vogue and Vanity Fair. She's also responsible for the super famous John Lennon and Yoko Ono cover for Rolling Stone magazine.

Here's some more of her work for Vogue...

(Lebron James and model Gisele Bunchen depicting Kong Kong)

(Sarah Jessica Parker and 'Mr. Big', lol)

(Fist Lady, Michelle Obama)

Leibovitz is also responsible for a lot of pivtures from The Hollywood Issue for Vanity Fair. Here's a couple photos from her and Vanity Fair...

For 2009, Leibovitz paired actor and director of this year's Oscar nominees, as well as, upcoming movies...

(Danny Boyle and Dev Patel of Slumdog Millionaire)

Don't mean to sound like I'm bandwaggonning, but WATCH THIS MOVIE!; I did see this before the sweep so I'm not on the waggon anyway lol. But yeah Slumdog Millionaire watch iiit.

(From The Dark Knight, Christopher Nolan and the late Heath Ledger)

(Ron Howard and Tom Hanks from movies like; Apollo 13, The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons)

(April 2003 Hollywood issue; Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, Jack Nicholson, Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, Jude Law, Samuel L. Jackson, Don Cheadle, Hugh Grant, Dennis Quaid, Ewan McGregor, and Matt Damon)

Above is probably one of the most epic photos I've seen. Photographer of the celebrities indeed.

(April 2004 Hollywood Issue; Julianne Moore, Jennifer Connelly, Gwyneth Paltrow, Naomi Watts, Salma Hayek, Jennifer Aniston, Kirsten Dunst, Diane Lane, Lucy Liu, Hilary Swank, Alison Lohman, Scarlett Johansson, and Maggie Gyllenhaal)

(March 2007: Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Chris Rock, and Jack Black)

Some what similar to the above pic; she also did the photoshoot for this years Hollywood Issue featuring the new legends of comedy.

While looking through her work my favorite pictures are form the 2007 Hollywood Portfolio for Vanity Fair. She uses a bunch celebrities to tell the story of Killers Kill, Dead Men Die. Imagine if everyone in the shoot was really in one movie!?!?! That's an expensive bill...

(Private eye Bruce Willis with partners Ben Affleck and Tobey Macuire)

(A dead body of Bruce Willis lying with Kirsten Dunst as the alleged killer at the scene of the crime, as newspaper photographer James McAvoy snaps a pic)

(Trainer Sylvester Stallone on the ropes where his boxer Djimon Hounsou defeats Robert Downy Jr. as trainer Forest Whitaker comes to his aid. The chinchillaed up Jessica Biel is also in the corner while Tobey Macguire investigates the scene)

(Undercover cops Ed Norton and Kate Winslet. The blind Robert De Niro is along side Jennifer Connelly. Julianne Moore is sitting attentively, while Helen Mirren is by the fireplace)

(Tobey Maguire once again, now he's playing the piano by Jessica Alba. Dianne Lane and James Franco are by the window while Robert Downey Jr. and Kirsten Dunst sneaking around behind the bookselves)

(Jack Nicholson, the killer, gets away)

It ends with one of my fave actors Jacky boy getting away. Not all the pictures but just my faves.

LOL yeah clearly I had a lot of time to kill and clearly Hollywood interests me. So here's Jay-Z and Beyonce off Jay's 2006 'out-of-retirement' album, Kingdom Come...

Jay-Z - "Hollywood" [Feat. Beyonce]


I'm out like Bruce Willis private eye...

I'm A Maven, I Know This World Is Changing...

So I'm watching 106 and Park pretty randomly and Kanye West is on it with his 'new joint' Amazing. I didn't know there was a vid. It's a cool vid. Hype never makes anything short of good, I can see his direction with the concept of 'amazing'. The over-head nature shots are amazing indeed...

Kanye West - "Amazing" [Feat. Young Jeezy]


It's shot in Hawaii and directed by Hype Williams. It doesn't really fit my perception of the song. The scenery makes the vibe 'happier' then I imagine? Anyways, I said it before, my fave lyrics off 808's.
_____

EDIT: Right now I'm watching NBA and it's blow-out city!! The Spurs got it from the Mavs. Also, the Bulls got blown out by the Celtics right after D-Rose received his inevitable Rookie of The Year award...



Derrick Rose is the truth. Rajon Rondo got carried off the court!? False alarm, his feet just hurt he says, lol. The Lakeshow is on right now. The Jazz are amazing at home, it's gonna be a hard one to win for the Lakes.

I'm out like any other rookie but D-Rose's ROY chances...

Add It 'Til They Subtract Me, I'll Never Be An Equal...

Right now I just got home... Had an exam today. Let's not talk about that. Next one Monday let's go.

Most probably the GOAT in the game, is backkk. Eminem's cover for Relapse. I like it!--it's simple and clever. Should drop in May. Gonna be big, obviously.



Here's a vid of Drake during his week taking over New York City. Here's a 'freestyle' on Funk Master Flex's show on Hot 97...

Drake Hot 97 'Freestyle' with Funk Master Flex


It's oookay stuff by Drake. NOT a freestyle though, but whatever, who wouldn't be nervous on Hot 97 for the first time. Seems like everyoness on him now? He like blew up. I was just talking about this today. He's getting ratings by people now and getting really popular. I admit some tracks on the So Far Gone mixtape ARE fresh even 'til now. But it seems like he's getting propelled off this one mixtape, or I guess it's the timing of the hype...

It's not really that good of a tape in all honesty--too much singing in my opinion. Usually on mixtapes rapper go hard, that's why I hyped it to myself. Comeback Season was pretty raw-- that was a good tape. So Far Gone is more for the ladies and mainstream I guess. Girls love this guy off. But it's good for his career.

Drizzy Drake in NYC, it's a good look. He's nice trust me. The stuff he's dropping now is his softer stuff, he can beast it. Here's a beastly verse off Ransom (not on SFG)--and PLEASE ignore Wayne's whack verse...

Drake - "Ransom" [Feat. Lil' Wayne]


Speaking of Hot 97 freestyles. Here's my fave. From my fave rapper, the GOAT (lol yeah that's the second time I claimed it in the same blog). Jay-Z spits this in '06 or '07? If you heard Dear Summer then this is deja vu...

Jay-Z Hot 97 Freestyle


Just super duper clever, too overhead-ish for the radio, less appreciation I guess. Bing bang boom.

One last thing. New trailor!! This link will surely die soon. I always thought they depicted Bumblebee weird, I swaer he's suppose to be 'young and hip'. First he was British!? Then he lost his voice and speaks in radio frequencies!? meh. Anyways, my goodness Ms. Fox. Also, Devistator runs things. How effed are the autobots!?

"Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen" Trailer #3


Revenge of The Fallen out June 26th I believe. Can't wait for that one indeed.

I'm out like Amy Winehouse from a rehab facility...

Pardon Me, I Must Say...

Yeah I blog too much for my own good, and bare with me and my ADD from studying. Right now I'm studying Electrical Fundamentals oh mannnn. I'm kinda screwed, I don't know, I'm an idiot.

Anyways here's a new one from the Clipse featuring Kanye West. It's called Kinda Like a Big Deal which I guess is an Anchorman reference? "I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal..."(c)ronburgandy. Kanye spit a line like that, I believe, on Back Like That (Remix) with Ghostface way back when...

Clipse - "Kinda Like a Big Deal" [Feat. Kanye West]


I'm pretty big on Clipse, so I can't wait for Til The Casket Drops releasing hopefully this summer. It's a follow up to their 2nd album, Hell Hath No Fury which is a serious album. One of my favourite albums for sure. Oh, and the song? Ugggh...

The last thing I grabbed from the Clipse was probably Road to Til The Casket Drops mixtape, which was released together with Complex. I tend to avoid the newer We Got It Cheap mixtapes because I'm more of a Pusha T and Malice fan then a Re-Up Gang--I choose to sleep, sorry.

Never thought I'd say this again but 50's pretty bumpin on this one. And will.i.am goes pretty hard on the second verse, geez...

Black Eyed Peas - "Let The Beat Rock (BBP Remix)" [Feat. 50 Cent]


The original's pretty dope too. Not too big of a fan but they're always doing something fresh and relevant (to mainstream that is). And will.i.am and even apl can kill it (see: old BEP, before Fergie)...

Black Eyed Peas - "Boom Boom Pow"


Yeah apl lol, a Filipino doing big things. Anyways I really must get back. I only blogged 'cause these were good tracks off my studying playlist and I wanted a break.

I'm out like Ron Burgandy after keeping San Diego classy...

'Please Let Me Keep This Memory, Just This One'...

So recently while I was doing all that calculus stuff, during one of my breaks I decided to watch a movie, I know, so slack. I felt for a serious movie with some fantasy/science fiction. Came down to Stranger Than Fiction or Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind. So I watched both, lol...

Both movies are one of my favourite movies (weird sentence?), but I'm gonna talk about Eternal Sunshine because it's the last one I watched and it's more in my head. This is gonna be a long one, bare with me.
—
Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind stars Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet, both incredible actors. It's about Joel (Jim Carrey), a calm and rational man, who's in a long-term relationship with a super spontaneous and overzealous girl, Clementine (Kate Winslet). One day he finds out that Clem underwent a procedure that erased all memories of him from her brain...

It sounds dumb? Actually it's fcucking brilliant! lol; it's amazingly well-done. The way the story eventually comes together is incredible. It's one of those movies you need to watch to the very end to get all your answers. The plot is so captivating, it leaves you with wanting to know what happens next...

It's a movie of destiny and fate. About relationships problems and dealing with life. What if there was a way to erase someone from your memory? Would you do it? Or would you just deal...

For whatever reason the characters may have; whether it be unhappiness, bordem, spontanaity, heartbreak etc. To them, all these reasons justfy having a person erased from their memory...

The movie begins with a massive twist to just throw you completely off from jump; but not so much that you're lost. Slowly but surely the plot fills in the blanks and provides answers to all the questions retained in your head. It's one of those movies you can watch more than once and take more out of it each time. I know I took a lot more out of it now than the last time I watched it, that's probably why I'm writing this.

This time around I got more then just plot and storyline. I took away meaning and emotion. It's truly the ultimate story of destiny. The theme of relationships really stuck. Basically Clementine erased Joel from her memory because she was unhappy. Their relationship got boring to her and she was disappointed at their inability to connect. Even though she loved him, she felt that these faults would never be corrected...

After this, when Joel visited her at work and she had no recollection of who the hell he was, he couldn't live with the pain. And he too, with reluctance, got the procedure done...

At one point in the middle of the mind-erasing, as he re-lived the memories in his head, he realized that there were too many good times and he refused to have her completely gone. So he tried to fight back and stop the procedure. This part shows you that you don't know what you have until it's gone/leaving/slipping away...

Sometimes, we have such little appreciation for the situations we are in. During the bad times, we forget about the good times. We forget that in the bigger picture, where we're at is where we really wanna be--we just need to appreciate the blessings...

After the procedure, the two eventually meet again, and boom they are immediately attracted to each other, I guess it's fate. It shows if you're meant to be someone, there will always be an attraction. They connect again as if their years together never happened--to get to this point though, it gets twisted.
—
No lie, I saw this quote from the movie [below] on Facebook somewhere on a friends page randomly. Just don't remember whos otherwise I'd give a shout, lol. Not like anyone's reading this...

(Joel: I could die right now, Clem. I'm just... happy. I've never felt that before. I'm just exactly where I want to be.)

Before their memory was erased the doctor asked them why they want to erase this person and recorded it. Naturally they list the faults of the other person and all the things that push their buttons...

When they do meet again, these tapes are evidently played to them, and reveal all these 'list of faults' of the other person. All the things that they dislike about the other person are revealed just hours after they met for the 'first time'...

It got me thinking. Imagine if before you started a relationship with someone, you were told everything you would ever hate about them. If you found out right then and there all the things you would grow to dislike; all the things that would potentially lead to a break up...

All their faults and insecurities. All their turn-offs and negative tendencies. I guess there would be no opportunity to love and no mystery.

Imagine being told those things before you're in love? Before the relationship has a chance to take off? Would you still give it a try?...

I think, I still would. These are the things that can be overcome, it just takes a certain mindset to get over them. Yeah it's easier to look past these things when you're in love, but when it happens in the beginning, it's like being given the opportunity to mold the perfect start to a relationship? Kinda interesting...

Think of all the lessons you learn while in a relationship, like the: 'I shouldn't have done that', 'I shouldn't act like that anymore' or 'I know i shouldn't do that anymore'. If these things are already brought up in the beginning, you already know what the other person doesn't like about you; the learning curb is eliminated and you already know how to act to keep them happy...

For instance, while in a relationship, say you eff up and do something your partner doesn't like. After that moment you work towards changing that fault. But, if you were told in the beginning, you would naturally work to change it immediately, before the relationship even takes off; and potentially stop effing up as much all together. You just jumped ahead a couple weeks, months even; or avoided a potential break up...

The movie showed me that some couples break up for completely surmountable reasons; these reasons may not even be the end all be all and can still be overcome. In the movie, when they were faced with this situation they were questioning whether they should even continue to pursue each other...

After hearing what they don't like about each other via the cassette tapes. They question whether they should even start the relationship again because of the previous failure. But they take it for what it is and they live in the moment, the here-and-now. After hearing the tapes, they say:

Joel: I can't see anything that I don't like about you.
Clementine: But you will! But you will. You know, you will think of things. And I'll get bored with you and feel trapped because that's what happens with me.
Joel: Okay.
Clementine: [pauses] Okay.

They just say okay. They accept it. They accept the possibility of failure. I guess that's what you do in relationships, you make things work against adversity. If it's worth it, you cherish it and work to preserve it.
—
I don't know, it made me think/reflect a lot. Brilliant frggn movie. In terms of myself, I know what I have, I love what I have. I would work through anything and everything to preserve what I have; because I know, ultimately and above all, I'm happy. Bottom line, every moment of unhappiness and every fight endured, is tiny; it's all about the bigger picture.

I'm out like memories from the brain...

We're Better Together, Then Further Apart...

Let the games begin. The 2009 NBA Playoffs kick-off today, with the Bulls at Celtics kicking it off. Michael Jordan versus Larry Bird. Too far? Okay. The Big Three Two versus D-Rose and them?. Yeah KG is downnn for the rest of the season =S. Who knows? He might be back? After all, anything is possibleeeeeeeeee, ahhaha...

(The Big Three has too much swag, but:
Big Three - KG = Semi-Big Two?)

I'm kinda stoked. He's my bracket via Facebook. I put in the app made a bracket and deleted it, lol--ignore the game numbers, I have hope no one will get sweeped. I also got my paint-on...

If you can't read it, I give kudos to the Cavaliers for being a serious team, shout out Dwayne Wade for being ill, said the Blazers are my fave team and deemed the Lakers my champs. Also here are my first round picks...

First Round Picks
(WEST)
Lakeshow > Jazz
Blazers > Rockets
Mavs > Spurs
Nuggest > Hornets
(EAST)
Cavs > Pistons
Heat > Hawks
Magic > Sixers
Celts > Bulls

(That's it BronBron, fear the Lakeshow. 24 is one better then 23...)

Here's some things I'm watching for. Lebron James proving why he's called the KING and not choking. D-Wade showing why he's MVP hands down if the Heat had the best record. The Lakeshow taking it all the way to the chip, they deserve it, I'm telling you this team is special. The incomplete Celtics riding on stellar Rajon Rondo, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen moments. Derrick Rose showing, proving, hopfully not choking and just straight up ROY-ing every team he faces. The young inexperienced Portland Trailblazers making some noizzze!....

(My fave player, Brandon Roy
"Eff it!! We'll do it live!!"(c)Bill O'Riley...)

Schedule (Game 1):
Saturday
CHI Bulls @ BOS Celtics, 12:30pm, ESPN
DET Pistons @ CLE Cavaliers, 3:00pm, ABC
DAL Mavericks @ SAS Spurs, 8:00pm, ESPN
HOU Rockets @ POR Trailblazers, 10:30pm, ESPN
Sunday
UTA Jazz @ LAL Lakers, 3:00pm, ABC
PHI 76ers @ ORL Magic, 5:30pm, TNT
MIA Heat @ ATL Hawks, 8:00pm, TNT
NOH Hornets @ DEN Nuggets, 10:30pm, TNT

I guess that's it; I love this game? lol.

For those who hate on top teams, here's a little LB. One of my favourite hip-hop groups. Kinda fell off a bit after GetBack but still a good album nonetheless; it's just not the same without 9th Wonder, he's too nice. He made them consistent and def one of my fave producers. The two albums with 9th Wonder are; The Listening and The Minstrel Show, which is my personal favourite....

Here's The Becoming off 2005's The Minstrel Show (damn, that long ago!?). Okay, so YouTube let me down, lol. They don't have the track--they don't have any from MS!!! =(. So here's Breakin My Heart off 2007's The GetBack...

Little Brother - "The Becoming"
Little Brother - "Breakin' My Heart" [Feat. Lil' Wayne]


"Still hated, but still rated second to none,
I'm everything you wanna be, but have yet to become..."(c)lb
[The Becoming]

I'm out like Raptors from any extra April action...

I Can't Really Make You Love Me...

I blog too much, I'm like annoying myself but bare with me and my head full of thoughts. Right now, I am trying to get through these calc chapters. It's not working out, I need a break for real. k-os is helping me get through calc right now, been spinning Yes! since I picked up my pen (yes I use pen for math)...

Here's a big track called I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman. If you've ever watched The OC you'll recognize the sample used (lol); produced by Rich Kidd. It features fellow Canadian artists; Saurates and Nelly Furtado...

k-os - "I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman" [Feat. Saurates & Nelly Furtado]


The title seems weird and random. And it's just that. Super random. The same track is on Saurates album, only titled, On The Run. k-os didn't wanna name it the same thing so he was asked what he wanted to name it; so he just said I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman, being a Star Wars fan I guess? Yep, trust me on that, I watched the MOD recap from Tuesday, lol.

The album is serious. Never left my house for more than 20 mins, so I have yet to pick it up. But I'll get at that tomorrow because I'm in the BCC area anyways. The last album I purchased was 808's!?!? geez...

Still need to pick up Ryan Leslie and The Death of Adam (88-Keys) which is an amazing album that I can rave about, but just not now. Just never had the funds--until now! GST cheque!!! yeah, ballin, lol.

Anyways, Yes! is just k-os being k-os--quality hip-hop, quality music. The album features people like Emily Haines of Metric and Murray Lightburn of The Dears; both lead singers of Canadian indie rock bands. Also the aforementioned, Saukates and Nelly Furtado are on the album.

It's the follow-up to 2006's Atlantis: Hymns For Disco. The album artwork looks dope. It also features throwback pictures of his mom and dad, which I saw while watching MOD.

The beginnging half of the disc is solid. Zambony is the intro to the album; it's followed by Astronaut where he spits a bit of girl issues and the way he switches up flow on the last verse is pretty ill, which starts with, "I'm slowing down thoughts to the point of observation". Then on Burning Bridges he goes from singing to just biting your head off near the middle, and just tells you why you should 'clap for your life'...

The heavily guitar-riffed track, Uptown Girl, is a catchy song, which features the two aforementioned indie-rock singers on the same track. In it, k-os talks a bit about being a city kid and he says, "I'm not from the ghetto, but my mama is and she's an uptown girl"...

One of my fave songs is The Aviator, where he just delivers truth in handfulls. Everyone that's just trying to live life right can connect to it; this is seen in the chorus when he declares, "I'm just a man, doing the best I can". Another one of my favourites is FUN! where he addresses the music industry, "fake rock stars that hide behind guitars". Uhm, take that Lil' Wayne? Probably a shot to Wayne's 'music', but when you're ill, it's all justified...

Basically, a solid album from k-os and I'm definitely gonna go out and support it 'cause now I have the deniro. k-os carrying Canadian hip hop ftw...

"On the microphone like, yes!..."(c)k-os

I'm out like k-os' 4th, this past Tuesday...

Never Gave Up, I'm The Only Thing I'm Afraif Of...

Beautiful frggn day out and I'm a prisoner to the books. Here's a video of a preview of the 2009 NBA playoffs to the song Amazing by Kanye West...

2009 NBA Playoff Preview


Probably my favorite lyrics off 808's & Heartbreak.

Get amped for the playoffs. The Portland Trail Blazers have been my fave team for the past couple seasons; they're just young and ill. They're finally in the playoffs this year. The western conference is so tight this year [again]. The Nuggets already clinched the division, so after tonight the Blazers can either be the the 4th or 5th seed. That means they play the Houston Rockets regardless, it's all about who gets home-court now.

Speaking of 'basketball' and 'amazing'. Here's a vid a friend showed me that he found on digg...



Obviously out of bounds because it touched the ceiling stuff, lol, but amazing nonetheless. Just a once-in-a-blue-moon shot from full court--it would've won the game if it counted, lol.

Damn, I bog way too much; I think it's the 'do anything and everything to not study' attitude =S. Gotta hit these books harder.

I'm out like the NBA regular season today...

I Feel Like I'm Nowhere...

I was doing calcalcalc, just now and I saw on Much News that Justin Timberlake together with Lupe Fiasco and Star Trak's Kenna are set to climb Mt. Killimanjaro? I'm pretty sure it's is the highest peak in Africa? woah. The trio will do the climb some time in the fall and it's to raise awareness for the worldwide water crisis...

You can read this article from Spin for more about how it came about.

That's not first I hear of efforts to help with the worldwide water crisis. Last year, Jay-Z won a 'Global Leadership Award' for his efforts to bring clean water to Africa. It was awarded to him by the United Nations for his Water For Life campaign.

Here's some music from 2 of the 3 mountain-climbers. it's the remix for Say Goodbye To Love...

Kenna - "Say Goodbye To Love" [Feat. Lupe Fiasco]


The track's a remix of Kenna's first single off his 2007 album, Make Sure They See My Face.

I'm out like oxygen tanks near the summit...

'Give Me A Reason, You Don't Know What I'm Capable Of!'...

Yesterday I had my first 'final'--tricky like skateboard moves! But whatevz, I got through it. After that I finished an assignment and watched Adventureland at Rainbow aka ghetto-arc-of-light? lol. $8.00 admits two people? sickkk.

The movie was alright. I was expecting to walk into a full-out comedy, but it ended up being an indie-ish movie, much like that of 'Nick & Norah's' or 'Juno'...

Like all indie-feel movies, it had a solid script and solid acting. As well as a solid plot, I must say. For me, it may have sacrificed some comedy for content and quality...

Often times, the plot development overshadows the impact of the comedy. Like I didn't laugh as much at some things because the plot was pretty serious at times...

The movie's actually pretty insightful on life. Some lines kinda hit me, in terms of being thought provoking to me. I just can't remember the lines; probably when they give input on life--like knowing what you have and cherishing it and stuff...

It also shows the reality of the difficulties after graduating and how times are rough coming out the gate [graduating]. It holds relevance to our society's economic state because it takes place in the late 80's during U.S. economic-crisis and stockmarket-crash times...

Mr. Reynolds is in creep mode, Bella Swan is in whore mode (lol) and lead-character-guy is in Michael Cera mode lol. He reminds me a lot of Cera by his voice and the demeanor in which he speaks, lol...

Overall, it had the potential to be really good, but it didn't really stand out to me. So, all in all, it was alright; closer to good, definitely far from bad.

Let's keep it 80's, this song plays during one of the early scenes. I actually have this on my comp, lol. 80's rock, lets go...

Crowded House - "Don't Dream It's Over" [Live]


Above is a live performance of Don't Dream It's Over by Crowded House. Just been my head since after the movie. I was actually contemplating on collapsing the vid because I'm scared that 80's rockstar fashion and haircuts will offset the whole swag of evertyhing lol.

I'm out like one giant-ass panda...

Call Me Jordan Fourth Quarter In '92...

Right now I'm reviewing for my first 'final'--more like a quiz really. It's worth 10% so I'm not really fearing it...

While I was wandering during my lost hour across the city, I spun my 'New Music III' playlist and forgot I had a Ginuwine track? When I make a 'new music' playlist, I usually listen to like the same 3 or 4 tracks for a good while lol. I tend to overlook some tracks so I just now gave it a full listen. Found the video just now also...

Ginuwine - "Last Chance"


Not too too big on the video, but it's good to see him back on the music thing...

Hmm, let's bring it back one time. I could've easily posted Differences, but it's a given. Here's So Anxious, one of my faves from Ginuwine. Peep the dance scene at the end, baha...

Also proof that Timbo's been producing the same bangers from jump. And what you know about the 'Super Friends' Crew!?!?!? Lol, hell yeah I watched some VH1 in my day...

Ginuwine - "So Anxious"


Alright why not, here's Superhuman, take that in too. This track's off The Life, the same album as Dfferences. Before Ms. Keri and Mr. Chris Backhand Breezy, there was this...

Ginuwine - "Superhuman"


Kind of a big song for me, got me through some really big fights in the past; i.e. the great rumble of the 08 summer Philippines trip, lol, not even a lie.

I'm out like a deaf musical chairs player...

Neighbour, Can You Please Turn Down That Mess...

Yes, it took me one hour from when my train got to the station to when I got to the parking lot where my car was. No I did not fall down the stairs and regain consciousness an hour later. No I did not get lost walking to the parking lot. No I did not get off a stop earlier and walk..well close lol...

I frggn fell asleep and got off the next stop in downtown bramp! The stupid thing was, I woke up one stop before my stop (mltwn) and turned off my alarm because I thought I wouldn't sleep again. Then before I knew it I woke up at my stop (brmlea) at 3:23. Closed my eyes for some reason, why? you idiot!, and that's when it clicked that it was my stop...

So I ran my ass off down the stairs to the door while the P.A. dude said 'doors closing'. The doors were, in fact, closed when I got to them and I tried to pry the door open, lol. After I realized it wasn't possible, I rode to the next stop with my head in my hands, lol...

From then I had to bus to the mall, then wait a bit, then bus back to brmlea to get my car. It took roughly over an hour, so I got there at 4:27pm...eff em ellll
__________

Oh yeah and the bus driver was whack? I put in 60 cents and he didn't let me sit? So I put in 70 instead of 65 because I had no change--almost put in a dollar, but I found a dime. It's all pennies anyways...

The Cool Kids - "Pennies"


This song has way too much swag.

I'm out like myself from my stop the first time around...

Tricks Keep Searching For The Glass Slipper...

This morning was jokes. A couple weeks ago I asked my mom to hide easter eggs!! lol. She bought Caramilk eggs and Cadbury Creme Eggs, so sweet. But honestly, it's not Easter without them. Another classic video added to the home video library? lol...

As good and gravy as my day is, I'm still bummed a bit. I feel so helpless and powerless over some things still, it's a real downer. Life is life, some things are unfortunate period and you can't control them, I don't know what to do?...

To kill a bit of time I'm watching Episode 1 of Pacquiao Hatton 24/7, which airs tonight in Canada...

Right now I'm bout to head out to Kingsley for lunch when the fam stops loafting. We did the church thing last night, so yeah. This morning I finished my portfolio! boom boom. Just gotta edit and organize. Still gotta study for my exam Tues and hit the calc books harder. This is not a game.

Let's bring it back. To a time as an awkward kid crossing over into teen-hood and discovering girls, relationships and courtship, lol. Don't know, this song just popped into my head this morning, grade 8, let's go!...

Ghostface Killah - Love Stories [Feat. Othorized F.A.M. & Ellie]


This song was actually released on Othorized F.A.M.'s album back in the day, but Ghost re-released it on his Hidden Darts: Special Edition album in 2007, post-Fishscale/More Fish.

I'm out like chocolate from it's wrapper on Easter...
