Okay, I have been roaming around town for shoes for a bit so I have had time to think about this before I make this statement. I have seen a lot of anime series and this is going to be hard to say. Here it is: Bleach is one of the best anime series I have ever seen, and may be the best ever of any genre. Bar none. I am only 13 episodes in (a full seasons worth) and unless something really jacked up happens and they jump the shark, this series is awesome.
I know people are going to toss out names like Naruto, Full Metal Alchemist and Escaflowne but this out does them. Now while I have seen Naruto and FMA via fansubs (before the Cartoon Network editing) I will admit they are great series (albeit overrated, I SAID IT) they both have flaws. Naruto is dragging after about 50 episodes while FMA is hit or miss (I am REALLY digging it now after episode 46) and Escaflowne tried too hard to overtake Evangelion, becoming really cliche at the end and needing a movie to tie ends up that really didn't work. I would put this up there with the best like Evangelion, Lupin, Kimagure, Cowboy Bebop and even (gasp) any Gundam series. Give it a watch, you wont be disappointed.
Now with that being said, can I just say that Brokeback Mountain getting Oscar nods is not the end of the world? Gay characters getting awards is not a bad thing. However, Heath Ledger and Jake Gylden-whatever getting nominated while Samuel L. Jackson and Johnny Depp have no awards is a damn travesty. They both truly suck ass, and no gay cowboy movie is going to change that. Now 'Crash' and 'Munich' both DESERVED nominations. Although Crash has Ludacris (all scientific theories show that rappers plus movies equals goatshit, but I was pleasantly surprised) and Munich was about as long as a FLIGHT TO THE COUNTRY, they were still both well acted and thought provoking films. I have not seen Brokeback Mountain and don't plan on it, so I know you are asking how I can say a movie sucks when I haven't seen it. Well, I didn't need to see 'Passion of Christ' to know it sucked, but I did see it and it DID suck. I'm using the same theory here, and seeing as how im sure that the story of two cowboys in love isn't as funny as the story of Christ. Okay, that was jacked. Still, it IS ironic that Jesus died on his passion, which was being a carpenter. And he died on planks. Im sorry, but that is irony for your ASS. Take a joke, Jesus can. See for yourself:

Um....Aren't you an oil baby, Mr. Bush? First you want to get rid of abortion, now you are talking out of the side of your ass. I'm all for abortions, and I'm all for oil. I just thought of something REALLY bad, but I will leave it alone. Even I wont go that far. I'll just say oil and abortions for everyone!
Enough with politics and stuff. How about the Bleach opening for season 2?

Kick ass song, kick ass show, and demons. Hell yeah.
Well, that is all for now peeps. I'm out for a spell then I may put some stuff up before I conk out. Stay up.
Chachi out. And no gays settling down!!
I'm kidding, just kidding.

First a very sad note. Coretta Scott King, wife of Dr. martin Luther King Jr. passed away after reported after effects of a stroke and heart attack in 2005. Very few times do I take time out to acknowledge passings like this, I usually leave these alone and let the families mourn even during high profile ones like this. However, I must send condolences to the King family. Maya Angelou said it best:
"It's bleak because I can't..many of us can't hear her sweet voice but it's great because she did live, and she was ours. I mean African-Americans and white Americans and Asians, Spanish-speaking, she belonged to us and that's a great thing."
She worked very hard to keep the vision of Dr. King alive. We have no idea how hard it must have been to do that, especially after his death and having to lead this alone in an era where many peopldidn'tnt appreciate the efforts and the previous struggle. Due to this, I will post something else later. May she rest in peace.

I just....I just don't know.
Man, today sucked. Interviewing sucks ass, especially when you really don't want the job. I really need to learn to say, 'You know what? Your company sucks and odds are I would just end up screwing off on the internet if I DID accept the job.' No different than any other job I've had, but at least I would be upfront with them this time. Well, Monday prepares you for the rest of the week and man, it can go up a lot from here.
Anyway, normally this is the time where you would get a rant from me. Shockingly, not today. Aside from the fact that Kevin Federline is still allowed to breathe, nothing has really set me off today. I'm sure something will bug me by Wednesday.
This was close to becoming my rant for the day. Griff, 'Perfect Hair Forever' is stupid. Stupid, stupid, stupid. However, this is rather funny: http://www.youtube.com/?v=kMsjKs-Q5Dc
Speaking of stupid, does anyone really watch 'Girls Gone Wild' videos? Jesus, the same thing happens at the club and its free! And no dirty feelings afterward. Geez, sometime I really wonder if we are 'de-evolving' as humans. Not a real word, but it fits the situation.
Sorry so short today, peeps. I'm of to bed for now. Stay up.
Chachi out.

Best. Day. Ever. Con't
Afternoon peeps! I didn't get to bed until like 4am last night, so I am kinda groggy. Either way, I promised you some clips of the greatness that was the Anime Fusion Tour. Here you go!
This is Yoko Ishida and The Para Para Dance Crew performing 'Cruel Angel's Thesis' from Evangelion: http://www.youtube.com/?v=Rahf0KTLgxY
Now for 'Let Me Be With You' from Chobits (a top three anime opening theme for me), Para Para Style. And check out Get Loose from the Para Para crew up front. Like I said yesterday, he gets LOOSE: http://www.youtube.com/?v=arWeoUEXhSk
And finally, the closing of the show was the song that the Japanese love more than Pocky. Zach is right, they should make this the national anthem of Japan because it is in EVERYTHING and has been done by EVERYONE. Here is a Para Para version of the Frank Sinatra classic 'Fly Me To The Moon.' You know you love it: http://www.youtube.com/?v=kAQkfSwrZjI
I have a few more which I will put up later (she performed the Pretear song, but I'm not a fan of it so I didn't post it. If the peeps ask they shall receive) and the autograph session as well. It was so kick ass.
As a future note (well into the future) the Nan-Desu-Kan is coming to Denver again October 6th-8th. I went last year and I must say, it wasn't ALL bad. The aroma was...pungent but I met a lot of nice people (big ups to Andy and Will!) and had interesting conversation that didn't make me feel like an anime geek. Like I was amongst my own. To give you an idea of the Happy Action Fun Time I had, here are a few pictures:
Nabeshin from Excel Saga and I. Anime chicks dig the afro. Smurf yeah.

The ninja in the bathrobe and I. This was a cool dude, even though he didn't say much. As a matter a fact, he refuse to join our gang but I cant hold that against him. He is a ninja after all.
And these are three entrants into the Cosplay Competition. Needless to say, everyone was either a Final Fantasy character or Naruto (OVERRATED) character. Yuffie, Yuna and Aerith here didn't win, though. I say boo to that.
This is also from the cosplay competition. I want to say its Sailor Uranus? Zach said she was best in show. There was an Advent Children costumed Tifa that was on POINT. Unfortunately, I didn't have the camera and it burns me to this day. Great stuff. Easily, the best Sailor Moon costume of the show:
This last one is from the manga/anime 'Fruits Baskets'. I have been meaning to pick these up, but a little something called 'Peach Girl' and 'Bleach' happened, so I'm a little behind. Even so, Ive been told from reliable sources its a good read/watch. That and check out the costumes. If I am not mistaken, they won the Saturday competition. Deservedly so in my opinion.
Well, it was fun last year, and hopefully it will be just as fun this year. It will be great I think. Gonna probably get a hotel so I can do all three days, though. Sucked driving back and forth from the Springs. Hope to see anyone there!
Well, its Sunday so I gotta do some car work in a bit. Everyone stay up and enjoy the rest of the weekend. Its actually a kick ass day outside. See ya'll tomorrow.
Chachi out.
Greatest. Day. Ever.
Wow, what a day. Peeps I must say today kicked ass. It's hella late (Sunday damn-morning) but hells yeah it was fun. First off, there was no funk. Everyone was fresh and clean and I'm not sure the Park Meadows Mall would have put up with that. Those park rangers looked disrespect and down to beat some ass. Second, the show was awesome. I really know how most J-pop shows work, but this went off well. The crowd was hype, the dancers were sexy (you will see) and Yoko Ishida seemed into the show rather than pulling a diva act and knowing that 85 anime geeks is as big a crowd she was gonna get in Colorado. All and all, a great show. Take a look for yourself:
Yes, that is me smiling like some fanboy. Sue me, I was excited to meet my first J-Pop star. And the Para Para dancers were kind of saucy. Oh yeah. Needless to say it was pretty bad ass. She signed my cd (which has the opening for 'Ai Yori Aoshi' which I shrieked like a 12 year old girl for when she performed it) and even said my name, albeit I thought the personalized the autographs and I honestly thing she was testing her English. Even still, at least she didn't ignore me like John Elway or DMX.
Also, I knocked the 'Para Para' dance craze yesterday, and rightfully so. After what I saw yesterday, it looked like a hepped-up version of the Japanese macarena. I must say, that after seeing it live, they really tone it down and it kind of kicked ass. It could be the next DDR without the awkward spastic movements. When they broke into the 'Ah My Goddess' Opening (a song which I also lost my shit over, btw) and had the folk dance going on in the middle it really seemed to be a completely different animal. Hell, I even learned the moves after one go-round and even joined in. You can tell by the jumpy camera work in the video. To top it all off, they did a happy-hardcore style version of 'Let Me Be With You' from Chobits (which turned me into a shrieking mess again but I don't care that song RULES ALL) which officially made this the greatest day fricking ever. I will have video up in a bit, I am streaming it as I type. Gotta give my peeps visual of this event.
Also, props to Get Loose, a member of the Men's Para Para Team. He was breaking it DOWN like compounds. Check him out. He even let me get a picture:
Dont let him fool you. He got LOOSE, ya'll.
On another note, I am starting up the script for the first LoChachi movie to be released this Spring with a trailer up at some point in February. Dare I say, it will most definitely kick ass. Got some voice actors and most of the equipment, so now its just a matter of building sets and a storyboard (again). Hopefully, if the three people that come here like it, I will release the summer blockbuster sequel in around July. Its all about the peeps.
I will update this in the morning with video of the Anime Fusion Tour so stay tuned. Odds are there will be no rant on Monday unless something really gets my going. Gonna relax tomorrow. Stay tuned, peeps.
Chachi Out.

Dance all night. Make it funky.
Ah, Friday. First off, how is everybody? I hope your week was cool. You know, this not having a job thing aint so bad. I'm getting paid until the end of March now (KICK ASS!) and all I have to do is not threaten my old employer publicly. Which it TS for them, because I have been on Ugandan TV doing that for six months. Also, I am getting ALOT of anime to watch and dare I say, the Japanese and their drawers affinity is beginning to weird me out. When buying used panties becomes a punchline rather than a crimnal act, I shudder. I am hearing great things about Bleach (I gave up on downloading because its up to 60+ episodes) and Loveless so keep an eye out for them. I have also been catching up on comics and I know a lot of you arent up on the Infinite Crisis, but pick up the series. If you read 'Crisis on Infinte Earths' in 1986 you will REALLY dig issue #4, you will see the return of a someone that if you are into comics will bring a tear to your eye.
Well, tomorrow is the Anime Fusion Tour up at Park Meadows Mall and I must say I am a little bit excited. Having only been to one big anime convention (and not a fan of the experience I must say) but I have never seen a live J-Pop artist. Yoko Ishida (who has been shoved down my throat until I liked her for the last 4 months thanks to Media Play and anime mags) is the performer and her music aint bad. If you didnt know, she has done opening/closing themes for Ah! My Goddess (hells yeah!), Pretear (never heard it) and Ai Yori Aioshi (I dug this one, sue me) and has released a few albums. She will be accompanied by the Para Para Dance Crew (more than ktwo people dancing in unison is a crew, its science) and I am afraid from what I have seen so far. Someone could lose an eye if this is what they are gonna be doing:
A good segway into a little think that bugs me. Otaku. No time to explain: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otaku should help you out. Now that you have a glimpse of otaku and their ilk, I only have one problem with them. They are WAY TOO INTO IT. I mean I like anime, j-pop, manga and a lot about Japanese culture. But aside from Bennie K and sushi chefs (ronin sushi chef anime. it will work!), I don't obsess about the Japanese culture. I feel kind of like an old man when it comes to anime. There are those of us that remember when anime was seen as animated porn (Legend of the Overfiend, anyone?), violent drivel (Fist of the North Star, anyone) or a just downright odd. With Akira and Robot Carnival, I gotta give people the last one. But my point is, there is a wave of this otaku mouth-breathers that are just allowing it to get saturated with people who are making us all look bad. You know the ones. The non bathers. I was at Nan-Desu-Kan (sp?) and it smelled like 'Shaun of the Dean' looked. Body odor is not a badge of otaku honor. Mixing it with Pocky is even worse, and Pocky can be good eating.
Now I am not one of the anime elitest. I've seen those losers taling about the 'old days' of Astro Boy and Gigantor. I'm not one of those, and I still say Gigantor kind of sucked ass. All about Manzinger, baybee! Tranzor Z for those not familiar, but back to the point. I am one that remembers when anime was right next to porn in the Camelot Video store. I remember when the manga section was in the far back near the OCCULT BOOKS at Waldenbooks. I remember when I would have to stay up until 2:30 in the morning to see anime on TBS, and it was ALWAYS Akira or Heavy Metal, which is not anime. I am upset about how anime has been turned 'cool' like how gay was 'cool' with the metrosexual craze. Laughing at us, not with us.
There is nothing wrong with embracing a culture, as much as an intolerant dude I seem I respect a lot of other traditions and cultures. I am against people taking to the extreme where they speak shitty Japanese and wear 'I Heart Yaoi' shirts. That is stupid and you making all of us look bad because you are not what the majority of anime fans represnt. All I want to say is tone it down, its okay to embrace a culture without ridiculing yourself and others. And fucking bathe. Many will attest, it was a rough go at the anime con. I have smelled the valley of death, and it was by the DDR and Karoke rooms. And back on the Yaoi. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, MAN! First, a little background because I am sure if someones kid puts 'yaoi' in a search engine someone will shit bricks so here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaoi
Done? Good. Now, at the con Zach and I saw three dudes and one had the 'I Heart Yaoi' shirts on. I had not bought my beating stick yet, but needless to say I was pissed. Not about same sex love that is fine. I have nothing against that. And reading yaoi doesnt mean you are gay. But if you dont know what it means (which this kid didnt if I'm not mistaken), dont wear the shirt. If you are in to man on man love thats cool. But its not a fad, its a life-choice. Its not waiting room reading material, its erotic manga. I wouldn't wear a 'I Heart Hentai' or 'Seinen 4 Life' shirt if I didnt know what they meant. Since I do, never in hell would I wear them, btw. And before anyone gets the wrong idea again, I am not against gays settling down. I am against putting 'I Heart Yaoi' on a paddle and selling it to 12 year olds. Something about gay love, paddles and minors just makes me thing illegal. Maybe its just me.
Anyway, on lighter note I want to give a shout out to Griff for the blog title yesterday. I didnt give him recognition yesterday and he let me hear about it. I am also issuing an open challenge on behalf of him to anyone who wants to get down in Mario Kart: Double Dash for the Gamecube. Bring your lunch bitches!
Also, I will try to get some pictures at the Anime Fusion Tour tomorrow and have them up by Sunday morning. The video of Teq's show is coming, my cpu wont read the camcorder and I cant find the software. All this computer knowledge and cant get a camcorder to work. Priceless.
I am going to update this thing in a little bit with a little video I have been trying to upload. FOR A DAMN HOUR. Geez, things are SO not coming up Milhouse. Stay up and goodnight, peeps.
(Update)
Wow, an h0ur and a half. Guess I should turn off bittorrent. Anyway, the first time I saw this video I was underwhelmed. After watchng I mus say it has grow on me. For those of you unfamilar with Bennie K (Since only three of you visit and two of you know them already, this is for that mysterious third person. Drop a line, stranger!) here is a visual: http://www.youtube.com/?v=dloIuGzXAX4
This is their video for 'Oasis' which is my second favorite song by them (All about 'Puppy Love Pt I' dude. Tell me it doesnt sound like an west coast summer jam from high school) and is just a happy action dance time video. Enjoy!
Chachi out.

There are days when it just doesn't pay to get out of bed. They are called days off.
Aw, hell yeah! We off to Jeff-eezy's! It's been a long time, peeps. Had some things to do this weekend so the updates had been put on hold. But life has slowed down and I am back!
On a sad note, I haven't heard back from the company I interviewed with, even after I sent a thank you letter and e-mail. Not a BAD sign seeing as they said the beginning of next week would be the contact date. Don't want to come on too strong or seem to desperate. Ladies mace you in the club for that kind of thing.
For follow-up: Teq's show went well. Needless to say, the fewer people you have in the entorage, the better. I swear he is like Diddy-deep when it comes to a posse. I have some video of the concert and random stuff that I will have up on youTube this week. And if you are reading, no Jackie I dont think you have a big head. Its proportional.
I saw Underworld: Evolution and I must say, it was pretty damn awesome. I wasnt expecting the world after the first one, but it was really good. It was no Batman Begins (the movie which all other films will be judged from this point on until eternity or until the sequel hits), but it was watchable and the action was top notch. The whole blood think had me bugged, but hell it was a vampire movie and they don't drink Fanta. Note to Coca-Cola: NO ONE DRINKS FANTA. At least there were no Fantana's in the previews. God I can't stand Fanta.
As for my rants. I have been suprisingly calm this week. Nothing really pissed me off so nothing is fresh on my mind. I'm having an issue with women with fake ta-ta's and asking for an opinion. They are foriegn objects. In your body. Do the thinking by yourself and you will figure out that unless you have like two miss matched boobies or an horrifying deformity that they look stupid and implausable in terms of gravity. And about the half-size jean jacket: get a full coat or go without. Fashion is fashion, but tiny coats are fucking stupid. And do not wear clear heels unless you are a stripper or want to be mistaken for one. NO ONE wears clear heels outside of the nudie bar. Oh, and if the shoes are uncomfortable, dont wear them. I dont care if you are trying to impress other girls, men (who if they are looking at your feet longingly are probably not the men to mess with any-damn-way) or whoever. If the shoe dont fit, dont wear the shit.
As for men....boy where do I start. First off an unironed shirt and ripped pants arent vintage. Its an unironed shirt and ripped pants. Hobos dress that way because they have to. At least let the downtrodden keep their fashion, dicks. Also, unkept hair is not a fashion statement! Putting gel in there doesnt help the problem! Invest in a comb, you brain-dead mouth-breather! Wifebeaters are NOT AN ARTICLE OF CLOTHING! It is an UNDER-SHIRT. To be worn UNDER a SHIRT. Common sensel, people! If you are wearing a wifebeater, you should be beating women. And if you are beating women, in the afterlife you WILL be anally violated. No matter what religion, Ike Turner aint getting a parade when he dies. He will spend the afterlife in a cell with a man named Twan. And he's hungry...for love. And that's real. Unless you are :
The Rock
Vin Diesel (I hate his work, but I got to agree with Beth on this one. Tres hot)
Christian Bale (Batman for you non-believers)
Mike Vick (I'm straight, but that is a buff dude. Hells yeah)
You should not be wearing a muscle shirt. It may be a little jealosy talking, but think about it. Its not fashionable, not functionable and you arent sexy you look bloody stupid. We all know you cant breathe and thats why you are posted up against something and not dancing at the club. Because you will pass out and I aint giving your quasi-buff ass CPR.
And now for my nemesis: black people. Here are the new official rules:
On a sad note, I haven't heard back from the company I interviewed with, even after I sent a thank you letter and e-mail. Not a BAD sign seeing as they said the beginning of next week would be the contact date. Don't want to come on too strong or seem to desperate. Ladies mace you in the club for that kind of thing.
For follow-up: Teq's show went well. Needless to say, the fewer people you have in the entorage, the better. I swear he is like Diddy-deep when it comes to a posse. I have some video of the concert and random stuff that I will have up on youTube this week. And if you are reading, no Jackie I dont think you have a big head. Its proportional.
I saw Underworld: Evolution and I must say, it was pretty damn awesome. I wasnt expecting the world after the first one, but it was really good. It was no Batman Begins (the movie which all other films will be judged from this point on until eternity or until the sequel hits), but it was watchable and the action was top notch. The whole blood think had me bugged, but hell it was a vampire movie and they don't drink Fanta. Note to Coca-Cola: NO ONE DRINKS FANTA. At least there were no Fantana's in the previews. God I can't stand Fanta.
As for my rants. I have been suprisingly calm this week. Nothing really pissed me off so nothing is fresh on my mind. I'm having an issue with women with fake ta-ta's and asking for an opinion. They are foriegn objects. In your body. Do the thinking by yourself and you will figure out that unless you have like two miss matched boobies or an horrifying deformity that they look stupid and implausable in terms of gravity. And about the half-size jean jacket: get a full coat or go without. Fashion is fashion, but tiny coats are fucking stupid. And do not wear clear heels unless you are a stripper or want to be mistaken for one. NO ONE wears clear heels outside of the nudie bar. Oh, and if the shoes are uncomfortable, dont wear them. I dont care if you are trying to impress other girls, men (who if they are looking at your feet longingly are probably not the men to mess with any-damn-way) or whoever. If the shoe dont fit, dont wear the shit.
As for men....boy where do I start. First off an unironed shirt and ripped pants arent vintage. Its an unironed shirt and ripped pants. Hobos dress that way because they have to. At least let the downtrodden keep their fashion, dicks. Also, unkept hair is not a fashion statement! Putting gel in there doesnt help the problem! Invest in a comb, you brain-dead mouth-breather! Wifebeaters are NOT AN ARTICLE OF CLOTHING! It is an UNDER-SHIRT. To be worn UNDER a SHIRT. Common sensel, people! If you are wearing a wifebeater, you should be beating women. And if you are beating women, in the afterlife you WILL be anally violated. No matter what religion, Ike Turner aint getting a parade when he dies. He will spend the afterlife in a cell with a man named Twan. And he's hungry...for love. And that's real. Unless you are :
The Rock
Vin Diesel (I hate his work, but I got to agree with Beth on this one. Tres hot)
Christian Bale (Batman for you non-believers)
Mike Vick (I'm straight, but that is a buff dude. Hells yeah)
You should not be wearing a muscle shirt. It may be a little jealosy talking, but think about it. Its not fashionable, not functionable and you arent sexy you look bloody stupid. We all know you cant breathe and thats why you are posted up against something and not dancing at the club. Because you will pass out and I aint giving your quasi-buff ass CPR.
And now for my nemesis: black people. Here are the new official rules:
- No chains, of any metal
- No grillz (whould you put metal in your mouth on GP? Hells no! Why for fashion?)
- No music video dancing. How about this, if you see it in a video dont do it. Odds are its not fit for a public arena and usually only serves the purpose of strippers. They want their moves back.
- No more of the 'too cool' act. Niggas know what I mean. Women's names aint ma and shorty. And get the hat from over your face, you look like a 9 year old at their first Cubs game with dads hat. And ladies, dont take it. You are just as stupid as they are when you do. Ignorance breeds ignorance.
- No pimp cups. Ever. It wasnt cool when Lil Jon did it. Sure as FUCK wasnt cool when Bishop Don Juan did it (another rant completely) and its not cool now. Sorry, Teq but I just cant dig it. I'm hating.
- Tight booty pants. I had to battle with this one, because I like curves. But I also like women who dont have to dress like they are going to the club. At Safeway. Quit trying so hard, if you got it, it shows wherever you are with whatever you are wearing.
- Sunglasses inside/at night. Not sure when this became hot. The song was stupid and so are you. Please stop before you accidentaly walk into traffic.
Had to let that out. Back to the peeps. Well, I know that rant was out of the blue, but after bing in settings with a variety of people, I notice things. Also, the next rant is on anime fans. As Zach knows, I hate fanboys (comics) and I cant STAND otaku. And I will rant on yaoi so be forwarned. Well, thats all for now, I'm gonna put stuff up tomorrow because....hell I have nothing else to do. One last thing. Griff, here is Mayra Veronica:
I told you.
Stay up peeps. Chachi out.

I need new friends.
So I get back from ball-shrinking weather and a sold out 'Underworld: Evolution' and I must say that I am not happy about that. I really can't understand why there were more showings of "Brokeback Mountain' than Underworld. We were a second away from Kirsten Dunst having Jake Gyllenhaal play Spider-Man. Remember that next time you watch 'Bubble Boy.' Anyway, I was kind of excited about seeing it, as the first one was better than a swift kick. I am going to have to see this movie, it doesn't look like its gonna be bad at all. Word of mouf has been good so far.
So I had my second interview today and it went very well. I honestly believe that unless the Sean Connery looking gentleman gets it (I am dead serious, I thought he was going to say his name was Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez when we met) I have a 50/50 shot. And the CFO was a she. All I could think about was the part in Anchorman when the large Latino bartender says 'Women can do stuff now!' Took everything in me to not laugh. Aside from that, it actually was very informal and a great experience. Good luck to me.
My dear god. Griff, I have wanted to say this for a long time, but you have been scaring me. It was bad enough you made the ninja mask out of a t-shirt, put on all black and and traumatized the kids, but this is the last straw. Peeps, this man needs Jebus: http://www.addictinggames.com/monkey.html
Now that my brain has been completely shut down by that link (574mph, biz-natch!), everybody enjoy your weekend. I may put some stuff up over the weekend from Teq's show for ya'll who are interested to see if I take the camcorder. Oh, and Z here is Scarlett from the Golden Globes. Giggidy giggidy, giggidy goo. Chachi out:

This is the greatest video. Period. Ever.
Something for the night owls. I have been listening to Ken Hirai's 'Pop Star' for about two months now non-stop and couldn't find the video. After finding it, I can officially say this is the greatest music ever put in video form. Dare I say better than 'Yatta.' Not gonna lie to you, it's even more kickass than the video I created in my head that had David Hasselhoff and dancing pandas. Watch and feel the awesome.

If anyone is down to learn the lyrics and dance steps, I am up for doing this at karaoke.
Chachi out.

Hey, ya'll. I am doing a little bit of double time tonight. I just got a call back and I am going to do my 'ranting' on the X-Box 360 now because I REALLY need to 'Get Amped' for this (Big ups to Teq! Check him out Saturday!) interview, it's with the CFO. Big things in store for your boy. It sounds like a kick-ass position after some research on it. I hope I get it.
Another reason I am doing my X-Box 360 commentary right now is the fact that I just spent about 2 hours at Gamestop playing it to avoid the weather. My god is it craptastic outside! And I must say they are cool people. They allowed me to play different games and everything. I spent a good bit of time on Need For Speed and the demos for Dead or Alive 4 and Perfect Dark. I must sat this, and I may regret this later, but the X-Box 360 is not a BAD system. It has just done three VERY bad things:
I'll get to that later, but my big 'issue' with the 360 is they fact that the games coming out for the PS2 and in some cases the GAMECUBE are just as impressive graphics wise. When I put Resident Evil 4 for both units up against the 360 titles, only DOA4 and Need for Speed beat it out. Even God of War has a equal look, and the game speed is fast as hell. Z played Fight Night 3 and I didn't believe him about the speed until I played it at Best But in Denver yesterday. My GOD, its like the Matrix (the last two, not the first one). He said it best: 'What's with all the polygons if they can't move?!'
Now we have already seen the pictures of the PS3 titles. If the game-gossip sites are true and the launch titles are correct(MGS4, FFVII remake, God of War 2), then there is no way the 360 can survive in a head on battle later on this year. Even the Nintendo Revolution with its 'French Tickler' controller has the new Zelda and Mario titles and if they have a Mario title with Kart after it I am SO in it to win it.
Ok, I will never quote 50 Cent again but he had a pretty good twist to a Tupac line:

Sony has always been focused to be and become a mainstream system. Like how people say 'Xerox' for a copy even when they may have another brand of copier. Or a Kleenex, Band-Aid and Kool-Aid. At my old job, they called it branding when you get so big you are known as an action (KOBE, for you Chappelle Show fans). Playstation is generic for video games like Nintendo was in the mid-80's and 90's. Nintendo has earned its spot and can really do no wrong, kind of like Robert De Niro. That's why he can make a movie like 'Showtime' and no one with bat an eye because he is Bobby Frickin-De Niro. Even is Nintendo releases a boatload of crap, we are guaranteed a kick ass Mario, Zelda or Metroid game to make up for it. Microsoft has not found its place yet. Until it does, it will always be 2A as a console option.
Now, full circle time. I mentioned the launch titles and how disappointed I was. I have softend my stance on the ol' box. I always said that the first 'Box was a Halo away from being the next 3DO and I stand by that. But really think about it. For those of us old enough to remember the original Playstation launch, remember ToShinDen? I swore up and down it was a '3D Samurai Showdown'. I told Griff to check it out and he said 'This ain't next-gen, this is next crap!' and he was so right about it. Every launch game looks bad and sometimes plays worse. Hell, remember Bouncer for the PS2? That thing didnt even work on half the systems! And once it did, we realized it did indeed suck ass. So for those hating on the XBox 360, don't bash the system because of the quality of the games, because time has showed they will improve. Bash the system because its 400 damn dollars. I already bought XP and Office, does Microsoft just want my direct deposit number so they can take all of it? Well, that's all for that. That probably won't help any of you, but I hoped it helped you give the little white box a shot. If you have half a 'g' to blow.
*phew* that was long but it had been on my mind.
Back to me. I will try to let all of you know how everything goes tomorrow or Saturday morning at some point. Also, I had my last beer watching the Seahawks/Redskins game last week. Yep, I am giving up drinking. Actually, seeing as I have only had two drinks since I got laid off a month ago (I got a Mojito on New Year's Eve. And no it's not a gay drink. It's a land-owning drink.) it should actually be very easy to not do it anymore. I also figured out how to do polls, as well. I should have one up hopefully by the end of next week, even if things work out and I back among the taxpayers. Can't leave the peeps hanging. It's about the love. Wish me luck and until next time, stay up.
Chachi (finally) out.

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!
So I am checking my email this morning and and I see this article in my Yahoo news section of my e-mail: http://music.yahoo.com/read/news/28673810
First off: why in the HELL am I getting Ricky Martin news in my e-mail? I figured if there is one place I would have peace from washed-up popstars, it would be my e-mail. Second off: golden showers. Okay, I am sure that there are young people reading this or hell people that just don't want to hear about this. All I can say is when did Ricky Martin's pee become news? Did you know that Bush is trying to start static with Iraq? No, because we have hear about Ricky Martin's pee! And to top it all off, the King of R&Pee (oh, now that is damn funny no matter what or creed or religion) is trying to get the child pornography charges dropped again. For what, lack of evidence? C'mon, I saw the evidence! It's YOU! Well, it could be Avant in Kelly's defense. Look at the proof:
Now compare it to the defendant:
Easy mistake, I guess. More Huey for the peeps: http://www.youtube.com/?v=Prc43HUDIFY
Anyway, back to to the lecture at hand. Today is a kind of down day for me. Aside from a employment seminar (Great, some idiot telling me not o sleep on the job. Last I checked, I'm live in AMERICA, and we do what we want, when we want!) and a quick jaunt to the Rock, I am gonna be finishing up storyboard for the blog videos. Hopefully, they won't suck. I have tossed the ideas around and they sound good to the crew. And The Grizzle may be making a CSP cameo, so The Kul-De-Sak Krew may be back in effect! Where you at, dawg?!
Tomorrow's rant will be on the X-Box 360. From this point on, rants are gonna be on a Mon-Wed-Fri schedule unless something really hits me as being irritating and i will drop some knowledge on the peeps (like Hillary Clinton's plantation comments earlier this week). Well, I may leave tome words this evening, but if not, take a look at the X-Box 360 and tell me what you think. I am not impressed, and I will tell you why tomorrow.

Wow, Jordan he is NOT.
As I started to write this, LeBron just CHOKED big time against the Nuggets by missing the game tying free throw. You know, I am not a big NBA fan (havent been since I was like eleven) and I don't have a lick of skills, but if you are the second coming of Jordan fricking act like it. I'm not a fan of dudes pretending to be high schoolers (I have said it once, and I will say it again that man is not 21. Minimum 27. Look at him, he had a ZZ Top beard at 17 years old!), but he had the ball in his hand with 4.6 seconds left with a WIDE-OPEN three and he passed up the shot and gave it to a rookie that missed his last two free throws. That is why he will never be Jordan, Bird, Magic (damn, I'm getting up there), Iverson or even Kobe. That's right I said it, KOBE. That man may have missed more game winners than anyone in history, but last I checked he actually made a lot as well. At least he is willing to take the game in his hands and say: win or lose, I put this team on my shoulders and made the attempt to take us to a victory. Not pass the ball off to a role-player to not shoulder the blame of a loss by saying 'That man shot it, not me. Blame him.' You know, when it all comes down to it in sports you can live up to the hype and not be any good as a team player. Hell, Jordan struggled for about half a decade until they hired Phil Jackson over Doug Collins (if I remember correctly) and he learned that team play wins championships. Maybe I am being to hard on the kid. Anyway.
So I had my interview today, and I think it went rather well. Not gonna say too much, but it seems like a stable company with great people. It's in the D-Town, but I can get past that by jetting up there at some point if they make the right choice. I swear to god, this was the first interview in a long time where they didnt read verbatum from the big book of interview questions. It was painless and informal. I'll keep my peeps posted.
Well, on the drive up there I realized something. As a few of you know, I got back into J-Urban (god, I hate that term) and J-Pop after about a half year out of the loop. The songs have a great pop/hip-hop/80's feel-good-action-fun-time feel, but the videos....leave a LOT to be desired. It's like they gey MTV from 1992, and that is about it. That and Diggy Mo looks like 'A Pimp Named Slickback' in the Candy Pop video. Aside from that, it's just pure J-Pop goodness. Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch.php?v=IV7Mb0i1BAU
Also, I have realized that I must marry both members of Bennie K. That has nothing to do with anydamnthing, but they's fine ladies. Remember what I said about the fashion issues in the videos? This is no different. Check out the asian pop-n-lock crew. Get funky, ya'll!
http://www.youtube.com/watch.php?v=-mqpq7X03as
Shameless Hip-Hop Plug! Teqnyc and the SSIK entertainment will be at Kelly O'Briens this Saturday night. Teq's my dog, so if you are down to hear some live hip hop with only ONE 'booty booty butt cheeks' song (good ratio, he does a 9 song set, give or take) come on down and show some love and whatnot!
Oh, I recieved a nice little note that the site wouldnt let people leave comments. Well, I fixed that issue (good looking out, btw) and all six of you are free and able to tell me how my sight is just above average! Reach for the stars, but know how tall you are. Or something deep like that I am hella tired.
Well that's all for now. It's been a long day and The Kid is tired. And my peeps must sleep as well. Stay up, ya'll.

I'm Sorry, Baby. It Won't Happen Again...
Was anyone else aware that American Idol is back? Wow, I have really gotten good at blocking out painful memories. Anyway, I felt kind of bad about that last post, going on a tirade like that. I should just stop watching BET.
I have a big day tomorrow, seeing as how I will officially be a bum after Feb 3rd. I have interviews and seminars and stuff over the next three weeks, so hopefully I will be back in with the 'taxpayers' soon. I have been getting pumped up for tomorrow, and this has helped out a lot. Hopefully it will do the same for you: http://www.youtube.com/?v=pq3g7zC4j1Y
(Note to WWE: PLEASE create a 'Macho Man' Randy Savage DVD Set, I will give you key lime pie. Take it or leave it. Just an offer.)
Oh, and on the better late than never tip, Martin Luther King Day came and went without any fanfare for the most part. Don't even START with the CPT crap. Although the day isn't his birthday much like Christmas (oh, I went there), it is still a day to reflect on the vision and understand the dream that Dr. King had. Yet, BET went on business as usual, and even had a 'booty booty butt cheeks' video for the new 50 Cent Mobb Deep joint. *Sigh* Dr. King's words never rang so true: http://www.youtube.com/watch.php?v=U2laP_rTOHs
I may update tomorrow about how things go. Stay tuned to the blog, I have some ideas that I am working on between getting a job that will be up in about a week or so. Stay up, peeps.

I have been getting pumped up for tomorrow, and this has helped out a lot. Hopefully it will do the same for you: http://www.youtube.com/?v=pq3g7zC4j1Y
(Note to WWE: PLEASE create a 'Macho Man' Randy Savage DVD Set, I will give you key lime pie. Take it or leave it. Just an offer.)
Oh, and on the better late than never tip, Martin Luther King Day came and went without any fanfare for the most part. Don't even START with the CPT crap. Although the day isn't his birthday much like Christmas (oh, I went there), it is still a day to reflect on the vision and understand the dream that Dr. King had. Yet, BET went on business as usual, and even had a 'booty booty butt cheeks' video for the new 50 Cent Mobb Deep joint. *Sigh* Dr. King's words never rang so true: http://www.youtube.com/watch.php?v=U2laP_rTOHs
I may update tomorrow about how things go. Stay tuned to the blog, I have some ideas that I am working on between getting a job that will be up in about a week or so. Stay up, peeps.

I Hate 50 Cent
It's my first rant, everyone. Be forewarned, my rants will be obscenity laced. So reader discretion blah-blah-blah-yakkity-smackity. If this offends you, you may not want to be here for my Paris Hilton rant.....
I am just going to go past a lot of back story for a minute and get right to my rant. Despite several accusations, these are NOT reasons I hate Fiddy:
-He's swollen up like a bum fighting bodybuilder.
-He wears those G-Unit Corset/Wifebeaters
-He glorifies gun violence yet attempts to damn it in the SAME SENTENCE.
-He sounds like Chunk from The Goonies
-He spent 2 years dogging Ja Rule for being 'hip pop', yet name one song he has done that is typical a street anthem? Is 'Candy Shop' or 'Disco Inferno' for the thugs? Squirrel please!
-He looks like King Kong (scaled correctly to boot)
-All his songs are the same song. (In his defense, all rap sounds like 'Booty booty butt-cheeks!' to me, but still)
-He is (sadly) in a position to put a new face and style on rap music, but just does what will help him get G-Unit spinning rims. I am honestly surprised tdidn'the didn't jump on that one. It sells itself.
Those are reasons I don't LIKE Fiddy, but not reasons I HATE him. Hate is a strong word, and I'm not a fan at tossing it around. That being said, I was watching MTV2 and they had a special about 8 Mile 8 Furious....I mean Get Rich or Die Tryin' and he was talking some nonsense about all his songs being about death. I turned around thinking he had some revelation as he began to talk about a song he made about birthdays. He said something along the lines of 'When one life ends, you know, another one begins. So this song is special to me'. I was almost ready to look at this man in a new light when I realized the only song this jerkass made with birthdays in it was....and then he went into a half-assed live rendition of 'In Da Club'. Yeah, 'It's Yo Birfday really sums up the life cycle, doesn't it.
Well, those who that have known me for more than a minute know that I have kind of given up on rap music in general. Aside from maybe a few artists that I can tolerate, rap as a genre overall is in a downturn and bastardization been bastardized into 'urban culture' and catchphrases. What do I mean? Three words: YEAH! WHAT?! OKAY! Nuff said. I also would have accepted 'I'm lovin it.' Now 50 Cent isn't the only one that has created this problem, but in my opinion he is the one that has blown the hip hop culture and rap music into this crapfest I have to deal with today. I am willing to guarantee more people know who Curtis Jackson is than Curtis Mayfield. And that is a goddamn shame. Pusherman is a better song tmonstrositiesurtis's monstrosites.
Back to Fiddy (as he is referred to in Nigga-ese). My dislike for him started long ago, when I got a sampler for an Omar Epps/L.L. Cool J shit-storm of a movie that I can't remember (a piece of key lime pie for the person that can tell me that movie). It had the track 'How To Rob', a track where Fiddy in all his lyrical prowess raps about how he would rob hip-hop's biggest names. {http://www.wmacstudios.com/50-cent/how-to-rob.html} Now I am all for self promotion. However, anyone that listened to this crap and said, 'This nigga is the next Redhead Kingpin, let's sign him!' should have been beaten to death with a Common CD.
I know people are free to listen to and like whatever (hell, I still like Oaktown 357musicalan't say much about muscial taste) but I know what is bad. He's bad and his music is bad for you. I leave with this: I remember going on a Fiddy rant in college in my Ethnic Studies class with a ain't black people (Colorado ain't D.C. when it comes to diversity) and they told me to blame Eminem because he signed him and it all lies in the hands of whites with money. Hip hop is based of money and if you sell, you star. That is an interesting theory. Well, do we blame the Philadelphia Eagles front office for SIGNING Terrell Owens? Or do we blame T.O.'s stupid ass for acting a fool and losing his job? Exactly. I could blame Eminem for buying his hustle or I can blame the hustler. A hustler is just as guilty as the person that buys his product, my friends.
Chachi out.
Next Rant: 1/20/2006
Okay, let me see if this works.
I think I have this down now. This is a test to see if the video links will work on this bad boy.
Let me preface this video: David Alan Grier is one of the 10 funniest men alive. I am DEAD SERIOUS. I will put his comedy head to head against Chappelle, Carlin, Maher (although he isn't funny as much as just a poor man's Dennis Miller), Rock and anyone else out there.
That being said, I leave you with these timeless words: Uppercut. uppercut. To the gut. Yeah.

In the beginning.....
So it has come to this. I am doing a blog. Somewhere, God is having quite the hearty laugh. Uppity bastard deity. Anyway, I am here and things will never be the same. This is not your average blog. This is a BELOW average blog. There will be very little about my life because quite simply, my life sucks right about now. I'm jobless, the search ain't going well and my DVD player is all for crap. Which means no Cromartie High School. However, a few things you can expect from this site:
- Videos. I created a YouTube account. Every once in a while, I'll link to it with a super-cool happy video. What kind of video? Whatever mood I'm in.
- Advice. Pretty soon (due to quite racy pictures of said person and Rosie O'Donnell) I will have someone answer question of those who take the time out and visit my little blog. Any question you may have, I'm pretty sure he could answer it. Let's just say Geraldo wouldn't have looked so stupid had he asked him what was in the vault.
- Rantings. Those who know the Duece (one of my many nicknames) know that I can not stand a lot of things. And I will rant about them. A lot.
- Battle of All That Is Awesome. Something that has been in the works for a while. A battle NCAA March Madness style of all things awesome (Ninjas, Pirates, Samuel L. Jackson, Chic-Fil-A, etc.) that the American people (and maybe some Canadians) will vote on! Stay tuned.
- Just cool stuff. It's a new kind of blog. I try to entertain.
With all that being said, there will be days I update a lot and days I don't post for a few. Be cool, the Chachi will return.
