Meat Cake: http://www.blackwidowbakery.com/demo/meatcake/
I'm not too sure how I feel about this as it's well, strange. Funny how presentation fucks with our minds. Who wouldn't enjoy some hamburger meat, ketchup and mashed potatoes? But shit, you make it look like a 3 layered cake and everything goes to shit.
So last night, it was the first Fabricated White Night in a long ass time. Felt good. The money spent didn't but eff it. It's hard to put a price on good times.
It was Rocio's first time out with us like that. She seemed like she had a good time. Sometimes when you get a group that's not using to hanging out with one another, it makes for socially awkward times. But we all were chillin' last night. It was definitely a good look. Alcohol helps, and music as well. DJ Scratched CD was in the house last night, but it was stil cool. Surprisingly decent music, at times. My 2 step was in the house something fierce though! I gotta thank Becky for that one, because even w/o that, I wouldn't be able to do SHIT out there. And sadly, I do really enjoy dancing.
2 silly life events will happen this weekend, one of which just did. I reinstated my Facebook page. I'm still :hs: about this, but maybe it'll be fun. Second, I get to order the Jesus Phone on Fridee because it looks like Crapple is having a sale. I couldn't be any more excited. :o
Speaking of, I got straight up hard when I heard this last night, and I'm not sure why because I felt gay as fuck singing it, but it's a good track:

The 80's were great and all, but
Damn, just damn. Mad props to Jenn for putting me on to these as I had completely forgotten about things like this.
Words cannot describe...... The Raiders one is EXTRA bad because it has that "We Are The World" feel to it with all those fools in the background. However, with all of this being said, we need more of this in football. The closest thing we get is the Redskins doing some Eastern Motors commercials, but still. I think a posse cut would be kinda fly for a team to make this. We need more goofiness, egos are too much in the way and the whole "How much will I make off of this?" would ruin it unfortunately.
This can apply to the need of a movie like "Who's The Man?" and rappers.
Good weekend! Went up to Mike and Jenn's place w/ Nathan. Not that I don't enjoy time with my parents, but it's usually extra good to get up there with them (and no, I'm not saying this because you're reading, Jenn). Just seems like a different level of fun. And I got so flattered that Michaela came down at 2:00 a.m. just to say hi. :o Mike needs to hurry and get that transfer to NoVA, and not RoVA (Rest Of Virginia, new hotness term, at least to me). I think it would be awesome to have them around.
I'll finish on two notes:
Read this article on NoVA being the 51st state. I feel passionate about this move, but not enough to do anything. http://www.washingtonian.com/articles/people/9947.html
I just got my hands on the new Q-Tip album. It's exactly what I was looking for:

Good God, feels like forever
Well, I guess it has been. Funny that I realized I blogged a lot more when I went out more. I guess they go hand in hand, as I usually get myself into some shit when I'm out and worthy of talking about on here.
First off I'd like to publicly apologize for anyone that received an invitation to Going.com. Well, it's a site that notifies you of local shows, etc. that Twanzilla put me privy to. I registered using Gmail, and well, it pulled all email addys I've ever sent an email to from there. I forgot to deselect them and then hit "Okay." Apologies for my moment of being an internet rookie. :o
So last night DJ Z-Trip finally came back to DC. I've been waiting for this for quite sometime as I can barely remember the last time he came around, maybe 2 years or so ago. The venue was at the Rock and Roll Hotel in DC. I dig this place, a lot actually. It's filled w/ a fair amount of pretentious hipsters, however, it's definitely a cool place. I'd recommend this place to anyone even for a few dranks, and not just seeing shows.
Z-Trip did his thing as usual. There's something about the way he puts together his play lists, you cannot help but feel like dancin'. I would've done more if I were more drunk, and there was more room, and well if there was AC (place was a god damn locker room). But he did lay out some funky tunes, from AC/DC, to Pantera, to A-Ha, to MIA, and some random techno stuff. My favorite part was the MIA "Paper Planes" with Pharcyde "Passin' Me By." Amazing though because almost every blend I've seen or heard him make, it's like one of those "Ohhhhhhhhh yeah" moments that make you wonder why you didn't think of that.
But, I actually didn't like parts of this performance, which is odd. Maybe it was the crowd that turned me off to this or whatever, but the biggest was him playing Journey "Don't Stop Believing" I'm not even going to link that due to my disdain of this song. Attn Z-Trip: You're better than that. Fort and I decided that this was the musical equivalent of shooting fish in a barrell. I guess that's the thing about being a DJ, you always have to play what most of the crowd gets wet on.
Second thing was the political issues. It's no secret that I favored Obama, I went to a rally, and am even taking off work for the inauguration, however, I didn't feel that it was super necessary that he go into his Obama mix. I think the main issue was the fact that I thought it was a ho-hum mix, that only had good parts. However, with that being said, I did enjoy the part that he did play. But dunno, just seemed forced.
Lastly, he played Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody." Again, no link for obvious reasons, however, the only good part of this track was from "Wayne's World." Would've been better if there were visuals and then just scratched that on a DVD mixer.
But again, always dope to see someone do this live. This was well worth the 2 1/2 hours sleep I got last night. :o
I got a new alarm clock program for the MBP here and am lovin' life. Turns on iTunes automatically and keeps joints rockin' on random. Ironically this played this morning:
