MTV put mad (maybe all) music videos online

For those that don't know. I'm going to give it a shot on here since YouTube is meh at times. Besides, how could I not post gems like this one:



or



Definitely a site I can keep as a favorite though.

Not too much going on as of late, things have been (ab)normally calm. I can't tell if it's a good thing or bad. Figured I'd come on here and share w/ a few of yall the stuff about MTV. This is the best thing they've done in years, sans most anything that VH1 has done.

EDIT: I forgot how good this track is, but I always thought that Michael Stipe was a bit whiny.

New Z-Trip mix! /groupie

Not trying to be political at all, but most that would listen to his music know he's a huge Obama fan already. He compiled a bunch of his speeches and put some good music to them for a nice, albeit preachy, mix.

With that being said, there was one track on there that brought back some memories. I haven't really heard this in bars around the way in Arlington, but something tells me it's on the way. Much like I saw "Return of the Mack" coming.



That's right. And be sure to peep the links to all of the Expose tracks on there. Sadly (or so awesome), a guilty pleasure of mine, no idea why I like this crap. And all of them would get the surprise sexing of their lives.

Felt good to get out a bit this weekend. I was DD for New Michelle and Wade, out in Cashburn of all spots. It was the least I could do for them as they're usually out this way. It's surreal being out there again. New Michelle asked if I missed it. I honestly said yes. :o I want to hate that area so bad, but it's apart of me. :o Here's a pic of that night. Mind you, MY glass is the empty Blue Moon w/ the orange in it:


Saturdee was dope catchin' up w/ Fort, Mel and B for a bit. I hadn't seen them in forever. I wish that Mel's coworkers weren't slacker supreme though. She works at a local hipster clothing shop and I'm sure there is some talent there. We've gotta arrange something out and soon. Lord knows that a hipster girl would be a refreshing change from the more recent.

Not that I'm feeling emo but.....

I was jammin' out to some UNKLE today at the gym, forgot out ill this track is:



Kinda takes you through paces w/ life, death, memories. Just an overall really sick track.

This post was moreso for yall to take note of this track as some of you might not be that familiar. Not much to report on seeing as how my hobbit skills are being honed by all of this staying in. At least my ass is getting to the gym more. But, I think this'll be a good look for me for my birthday.

I've pushed off major purchases till then, i.e. the glock and everything like that. So I'm hoping it'll be worth it. And believe me, it's all that's been on my mind lately.....

Probably one of the more disturbing clips out there



Fuck me. I'm in tears over this shit.

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit





Only because the first one has been ALL over cable lately. I don't think there are too many funnier scenes in movies. Golly! They didn't have the name scene from Airplane 2 on there that I could find. "Over, Unger, Done"

So this was the first week I had with stayin' in and I must say it went well. However, I did have plenty to keep me busy on Saturday between the car and then some work stuff. Friday worked out well though. Rocio came through at the last minute, which was dope. I was going to stay in the house and get twisted, but company's usually better than that. Rather relaxing, which was cool, and she needed it as well.

The illness didn't come until Sunday after work. New Michelle and I opted for a money Sundee Hooters trip. And well, Blue Moon decided to be the other guest at the table. We got twisted, way more than we should have. But then we got the money idear of going to Wegman's at 10 at night. I think I should go grocery shopping twisted more often. I was in and out in like 20 minutes. I'm focused man!!!

But I think I can get used to this staying in stuff. Sans a special occasion or two, I don't think I'll be going out again till probably my birtday. I have more than enough here at the crib to keep me busy. I hope that it won't be THAT difficult. :o

In lieu of me getting over to Matt's house at 9:30 on a Saturday morning, this track is fitting. Matt's son was chillin' on a Saturday morning like I used to. Was there anything greater than 10:00 a.m. on a Saturday? Nah......

Other than really good sex.....

There is no better release than.....

"Oh that guy? I wouldn't worry too much about that guy"

Mad props goes out to Shad as he took me over to the NRA range on Saturday afternoon. I realized this is exactly what I needed, and exactly what I need to get back into. This particular target was my last clip w/ the Glock 19. Such a great gun. It was the last gun that I shot about 5-6 years ago, and the first gun that I picked back up. To have that amount of power go off at the pull of one finger, man. It's hard to describe, but God damn what a feeling. Peep the bullseye!

Yes, yes, it's a 15 round magazine, but there are only 13 holes. Give me SOME credit. :o

So yeah, I'm going to join the Gun Crew, but not now. I'm tryin' to stick to my financial goals this year and no make any purchases, other than necessity (i.e. my car and a freaking iPhone). So, 2009 will be the time. But that's fine by me. New Michelle told me that I'd appreciate it more in the long run. I think I'll take her advice on this one. Help me out yall!

I'm writing this as the latest edition of the VH1 Hip Hop Honors are about to come on. For some backstage footage, check out my ace boon coon Drew politic it up w/ Dave from De La for a bit:



Funny, I never noticed the resemblance until he said something.

I'll leave you with this, as I'm on the verge of restocking EPMD into the library:

"That's when Ron vanished, came back speakin' Spanish"



Nothing like Biggie to make you feel better after quite a funk.

Many years ago, Becky called me a robot. Now under that version of Ron, one person suffered. Some may say that it's one too many. I'll go ahead and agree with that one. But damn, I guess this is payback for that. Yeah, there was some drama today. I'm in a funk and those that know me that are reading this, you can guess why. All of this comes on the eve of me deciding to stay in for a while to save some cash and tie up some loose financial ends. Heh, well damn, talk about one big fucking test.

This reminds me of when I quit smoking and went out w/ Shad for my birthday to the bars. Drunk as hell, but no throwin' up. No jacks either. A few weeks later, my car acted up and all I wanted to do was stop and get a pack of cigarettes. Ironically I couldn't deal w/ ma dukes for a few days, but that's another story. But w/ this shit, damn, all I want to do is go out, say fuck it, get bombed and holler at anything that I cross paths with.

I think I'll try something different this time. I'll stick w/ my original feeling from a few days ago and turn a bit inward. This is a dope outlet and those I can talk to I appreciate it. But it's about time to do Ron again. I think my robot tendencies might make a comeback.

On that note, my gym routine is back and feelin' good. Today was extra ill thanks to a little TV on the Radio:



Oh and lastly, thanks to Juh-nette for reminding me about this song. I told her that I'd drop this for her in here. Thanks chica!
