Ignorance Makes Me Laugh
A few weeks back, I wrote a little something something on these videos I saw on YouTube about how the music industry's "evil" and whatnot...
Today, I come across another video by this SAME person and I HAD to comment on her YouTube Channel... it went a little something like this:
"Your motive with these videos is to shed light on the "brainwashing system" that is the entertainment industry... when in reality, I think YOU'RE so deeply brainwashed by your own religion/beliefs that it drives you to make these videos. It's unbelievable to me to know that you spend sooooo much time on these videos solely to tell the masses how bad something is... Do you realize how much precious time you consume with this? If you REALLY want goodness in the world, then spread goodness. Spread positivity! Preaching about the workings of evil is almost as bad as the evil itself. Are you anti-evil? THEN BE PRO-GOODNESS. You're just a walking contradiction right now."
I posted this comment and WITHIN MINUTES, it was deleted...
I love how she's so quick to criticize the industry yet can't take any feedback herself.
THERE ARE ALWAYS TWO SIDES TO A COIN, LADY. ALWAYS.

Perpetual Sickness
If you live in South Florida, you ALWAYS know somebody that's sick or getting sick or getting over being sick or just perpetually sick. It's an endless, vicious cycle. Yesterday, it was almost 90 degrees. HOT AS *&$#!. And now look at today...
Get your Airborne & Vitamin C, kids.

"Control Me" Choreography
Listen, Power 96...
Every Miamian can agree that Power 96 has played a momentous role in their upbringing here. The 5 o'clock traffic jam was the soundtrack of the city when everyone was escaping the mania of work/school. The live broadcasting from the clubs reminding you that you'll be there as SOON as you turn 18. The Power Love Hour teaching you a thing or two [be it good or bad] about love; it was indubitably an enabler to our curiosity with sex with all that Keith Sweat and 112, not to mention the sexy broadcaster's voice giving you advice. Last but not least, this is by far the most important. The DJ Laz Morning Pimp Show. I can't think of high school without thinking of this morning show. EVERY. SINGLE. MORNING. @ 5 Am... my radio would turn on, the cowbells would start ringing, and "GOOOODD MOORRNINGGGG!!!!!". It woke you up with gossip, jokes, music, etc... there was no better way to start the day. Are you kidding? "DDDDDDJ LAZ,... THAT CHICO'S A PIMP!". Please. Everyone in Miami knows that shit. Even when I was living in Boston, I would listen to Power 96 live online just to feel a little closer to home when things got gray... literally. It reminded me of the life of Miami; its vibrancy and hilarious ignorant tendencies.When you think of Miami, you have to think of Power 96. I first came to Miami from NY in 2nd grade and my cousins put me on immediately. Power 96 was apparently THE radio station... Now, 15 years later, I hear all this talk about the new "96X". Can someone please enlighten me as to WHAT THE FUCK is going on?! I demanded answers so I did my research...

[ah, miami dade transit, you're so shitty.]
Apparently, the station was called 96X (WCJX 96.3) in the 70s and was mostly a Top 40/ Disco station. The station went off the air in the early 80s then later becoming Power 96 in 1986 with a change of management. From there forward, it was officially Power 96 and the rest is history. That's 23 years yo. Changing Power 96 to 96X would be a [ginormous] step backward. Who wants to go backward?! Go FORWARD. If you're going to change the name, change it something that resonates with the people of Miami and denotes the progress of life in the city.
...and stop playing all these wack ass "artists", too. Step your game up; you're better than that.
UPDATE:
Lucy Lopez just confirmed to me that all this 96X stuff was just a good old April Fool's prank. Hahahaha... thanks for getting me all worked up, guys. We got punk'd.

Mario Paint!

Remember Mario Paint for SuperNES?! It was one of Nintendo's first attempts at pushing the SuperNES closer to computerworld. Obviously the shit. I was 4 years old when I got this for Christmas... It was my first gaming console and I felt like I was in a whole new world of cool. Painting Yoshi 219435281 different ways, swatting those flies with a vengeance, and making the corniest beats known to man. The wannabe beat machine in Mario Paint was definitely my earliest encounter with music theory... with mushrooms & airplanes in place of actual notation, but hey it was a start right? I was a beaaaast.
Ah, the mouse was so cheapy, too. It weighed nothing and I sometimes had to throw it against the wall for it to work properly.

They gotta have an emulator for this, right?

Erykah Badu

Artist Steven Lopez paints the Soul greats... and these are just a few. Others include India Arie, Tina Turner, Aretha, etc. It's absolutely beautiful how he captures the true essence of these artists on canvas. Erykah's stare is piercing... and I can totally hear Jilly rippin it in that painting... haha!

MUST WATCH IN 3D!

Probably the most fun I've had in a movie in a veeeeeery long time. Monsters vs. Aliens caters to all audiences so it's definitely something for the entire family or a huge group of friends. Hilarious indeed! And the 3D makes you feel like you're IN the movie. If possible, try to go with someone under 10; it only adds to the fun.
Favorite character: B.O.B. (voice by Seth Rogen so you already know)
R.I.P. Pinkness [March 07-March 09]
This past weekend, a very dear part of my life has vanished.... ::sigh::
My Pinkness.
She went everywhere with me... from Boston to California, New York to Dominican Republic. Capturing all those (add adjective here) moments I'll remember forever. We took about 30GB pictures together! Good times. We had so much fun she even had to go to the repair center wayyy more than necessary. I'll miss you :(
Anywho...
TIME FOR NEW CAMERA! Any ideas, guys?
[PS: TO THE ASSHOLE WHO STOLE MY CAMERA FROM MUVICO 24, KARMA WILL CONSUME YOUR SOUL. ]
