Another Year Passed, And We STILL Ain't Found Tupac!

What is up, people! Well, we have 364 days, 52 weeks and 51 Fridays for Chachi’s Top 20 Countdown. Now, we add them all up and find out after 24 number one videos and several others coming close…who had the biggest video of 2008? Well sit back, grab a drink and check out the 100 biggest videos of the year before you head out and drink yourself stupid! It is time for…

Chachi’s Top 100 Videos of the Year End Extravaganza Disco Dancing Party!

Long ass name I will admit. Let’s get this Countdown party started right!

100. James Morrison – You Give Me Something

We start with James Morrison, who made a pretty low-key debut when this song was featured in a commercial for the FX lineup. Well, this song is bleeping awesome and that is why it is on here. Oddly enough, he never really followed it up with anything which is lame because he grew on me after a while.
99. Jewelry – Everybody Shhh!!!
98. Inoue Joe - Closer
97. Leona Lewis – Bleeding Love
96. New Kids on the Block – Summertime
95. YA-KYIM respects KOME KOME CLUB – Kimi Ga Iru Dake De

93. ASIAN KUNG FU GENERATION – After Dark
92. Yuna Ito – Urban Mermaid
91. Aqua Timez – Velonica
90. Paramore - Decode
89. Nana Mizuki – TRICKSTER
88. Uhm Jung Hwa featuring TOP – D.I.S.C.O.

Okay, first off this song is fricking awesome. Second off, this video is fricking trippy. Third off I TOTALLY ALMOST PULLED THIS OFF AT KARAOKE LAST NIGHT! Sadly, I only know the hook which is English and easy Korean but still. This is one of those videos that flew under the radar until the end of the year for me and I am glad I saw it because it is great!
87. Big Bang - Lies
86. Maroon 5 – Goodnight, Goodnight
85. T.I. – Whatever You Like
84. Chris Brown – With You
83. Big Bang – Number 1
82. UVERworld – Just Break The Limit!
81. Colbie Caillat – Realize
80. HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR – Remember
79. Yuna Ito – Miss You
78. Rihanna – Take A Bow
77. Alicia Keys - Superwoman
76. Halcali – LONG KISS GOODBYE
75. Aqua Timez - Niji
74. Seamo feat Ayuse Kozue - Honey
73. Game featuring Lil’ Wayne – My Life
72. Hearts Grow - Kasanaru Kage
71. Snoop Dogg – Sexual Seduction
70. Tommy Heavenly6 – PAPER MOON

Wizard of Oz + hot Japanese lady rock singer = LOVE! First off, when I heard this as the opening to Soul Eater I was all over it (Especially after it followed TM REVOLUTION!). Combine that with a great video and you have the number 70 video. Not hard to do the math on that.
69. Alicia Keys – Teenage Love Affair
68. Ikimonogakari – Kimagure Romantic
67. Chris Brown - Forever
66. UVERworld – Hakanaku mo Towa no Kanashi
65. Southern All-Stars – I AM YOUR SINGER
64. Ne-Yo – Closer
63. RBD - Empezar Desde Cero

WHY DID YOU HAVE TO BREAK UP?! In what may be RBD’s last video, they really just did what they always do: LOOK DAMN HOT. Especially Anahi. She reminds me of a girl I once knew…she was special. VIVA LA REBELEDE!!!
62. Kumi Koda - Taboo
61. Rain – Love Story
60. YUI – I’ll Be
59. L`Arc~en~Ciel – DRINK IT DOWN
58. Bennie K feat SOFFet – Music Traveler
57. NLT – He Said, She Said

You know, NLT really disappointed me. After their first video, I never heard from them after that. However, I was all about this song because I was going through my Timbaland phase like I am going through my Runners phase now. That and boybands are awesome.
56. Lupe Fiasco – Hip Hop Saved My Life
55. Usher – Moving Mountains
54. The Roots feat. Chrisette Michelle & Wale – Rising Up 53. Nelly Furtado – In God’s Hands
52. Hyori Lee – Hey Mr. Big!
51. DJ Khaled featuring Kanye West & T-Pain – Go Hard
50. T.I. featuring Alfamega & Busta Rhymes – Hurt
49. FLOW – WORLD END
48. Erykah Badu - Honey
47. Jazmine Sullivan – I Need You Bad
46. The Roots feat Dice Raw & Peedi Crack – Get Busy
45. UVERworld – ROOTS
44. Lupe Fiasco featuring Matt Santos – Superstar

Okay, this was actually one of my favorite videos of late 2007 because I am kind of a Lupe Fiasco stan. However, due to YouTube blocking the shit out of everything last year it was never officially on the Countdown. So this is a bit of a thanks to Lupe for changing hip hop a little for us.
43. John Legend – Show Me
42. HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR – Amazing
41. Lil Wayne featuring Static Major - Lollipop
40. YUI – Laugh Away
39. Ikimonogakari – Bluebird
38. Mihimaru GT - Diverge
37. BACK-ON – Sands of Time
36. YUI - NAMIDAIRO

34. UVERworld - Koishikute
33. T.I. – What Up, What’s Happenin’
32. KELUN – SIXTEEN GIRL
31. RBD - Inalcanzable
30. Rain – Rainism

IT WAS THE YEAR OF RAIN! Bi made his comeback this year after laying kind of low in 2007 (Rain’s World Vol IV came out in 2006) in a big way! An album considered for Album of the Year and one of the most visually entertaining videos of the year! Rain isn’t coming…IT’S BACK!
29. Ikimonogakari – Kimagure Romantic
28. Hyori Lee – U-Go-Girl
27. YUI – SUMMER SONG
26. Alicia Keys – Like You’ll Never See Me Again (One Week at #1)
25. Foxxi MisQ – X.B.F. (One Week at #1)
24. Game featuring Keyshia Cole – Game’s Pain (One Week at #1)
23. KELUN – CHU-BURA (One Week at #1)
22. May J. – Do Tha’, Do Tha’ (One Week at #1)

In a year of artists getting their first number one videos after being held back multiple times (Game, Paramore, Foxxi MisQ and Hearts Grow for starters), May J started the trend of redemption! Not only was this one of the hottest videos of 2008 (Not involving lolis I mean. Sun I am looking at you! Damn you, Wonder Girls!) but it was one of the best dancing sequences as well…not done by Rain of course. I MISS MY MAY J!
21. Wonder Girls – Nobody (One Week at #1)
20. T.I. – No Matter What (One Week at #1)
19. Kanye West featuring Chris Martin – Homecoming (One Week at #1)
18. John Legend featuring Andre 3000 – Green Light (One Week at #1)
17. NaNa – Movin On (Six Weeks at #1, One Week at #1 in 2008)
16. Duffy – Warrick Avenue
15. HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR – HOT LIMIT (Two Weeks at #1)

WHY GOD WHY?! First RBD broke up and to cap off the worst year ever, HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR are breaking up as well! Luckily, one of the videos they had as their swan song was a cover of the TM REVOLUTION CLASSIC! This video was number one before you could blink and for a final hurrah it was well worth it. I will miss you Hiroko!
14. NaNa – SHOW GIRL (Two Weeks at #1)
13. Paramore – That’s What You Get (Two Weeks at #1)
12. Kanye West – Love Lockdown (Two Weeks at #1)
11. Fonzworth Bentley featuring Kanye West & Andre 3000 – Everybody (Don’t Stop) [Two Weeks at #1]

AND NOW WE ARE DOWN TO THE TEN BIGGEST VIDEOS OF 2008!

10. Wonder Girls – So Hot (Two Weeks at #1)

We begin with the tenth biggest video of 2008! The Wonder Girls made their triumphant return to the K-Pop world and solidified my vendetta against Chris Hansen. This video is hilarious and yet surprisingly awesome at the same time. And yet I cannot shake the feeling every single time I watch this video, the party van comes a little closer to my house.
9. Usher feat Young Jeezy – Love In This Club (Three Weeks at #1)

At number nine we have the returning Usher! I had a threat-watch for Usher just as I did for Rain and Usher heeded my threat and came out with a kick ass video this year. Not only was the song great, he brought along hip hop’s biggest surprise in Young Jeezy which began HIS huge year as well. More from him later…
8. BoA – Eat You Up (Two Weeks at #1, Currently at #1)

BoA has returned! After only being released for about two months or so, BoA ranks in at number eight on 2088’s biggest videos! It is the current number one video and she has proven that she can dance and sing as well as her not as talented American counterparts. Oh, I so went there. This song is the ringtone, too!
7. Toshinobu Kobuta featuring Misia - Flying Easy Loving Crazy (Two Weeks at #1)

Kubota Toshinobu ft. MISIA-FLYING EASY LOVING CRAZY [PV]
Uploaded by Ashelia
The Legend finally gets his due! Toshinobu Kobuta was on the Countdown longer than any video in its three year history and even topped off that by taking the number one spot for two weeks this spring. It was well deserved for someone that has been laying it down for R&B in Japan for YEARS.
6. Hearts Grow – Sora (Three Weeks at #1)

When Hearts Grow breaks through, THEY BREAK THROUGH! After being held back from the top spot twice, the third time was the charm enough to put them at number six on the biggest videos of 2008, right outside of the Top Five! After a pretty lengthy journey, they not only took number one but took it for almost a month! Here is hoping for an album in 2009. We are down to FIVE!
5. Young Jeezy featuring Kanye West – Put On (Three Weeks at #1)

We begin the Top Five with one of the biggest suprises of 2008! Young Jeezy had been one of the mid-range rappers on the Countdown but this year he came out with a vengeance, pulling down the fifth biggest video of the year! This video was topical and hard at the same time. Let’s not forget he brought Kanye West along for the ride which always helps out. He put it on for the Countdown!
4. YA-KYIM – Super Looper (Three Weeks at #1)

So we move up to number four and we have the fine, sexy ladies of YA-KYIM! They had arguably the biggest year of all the female artists with this video. It was catchy, had great dancing and did I mention that Yurie is damn fine? Because if I didn’t…she SO IT. I totally love her.

WE ARE DOWN TO THE THREE BIGGEST VIDEOS OF 2008!

3. CRS (Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco & Pharrell) featuring Thom Yorke – Us Placers (Four Weeks at #1)

Hard to believe that an obscure track on a Kanye West mixtape would be the third biggest video of 2008. Yet, when you have an outside of the box video such as this you have to take notice. The song is meaningful (Especially Pharrell who gains a new level of respect from me for this one) and the video is so different that you have to sit back and watch. Combine those factors and CRS takes the bronze!
2. T.I. featuring Rihanna – Live Your Life (Five Weeks at #1)

Okay, we are at the runner up spot and if it wasn’t for BoA, this video may have ended up being number one! However, since Eat You Up knocked it off, T.I. and Rihanna will have to take home the silver for 2008. T.I. actually had the biggest video of 2006 and after a slow 2007 he came back to have four videos in the Top 40! This was the crown jewel and tosses his hat in the ring for not only the King of the South, but the King of the Countdown! Well, with T.I. and Rihanna at number two, we KNOW WHO THE CHAMP IS!
1. Bennie K – Monochrome (Seven Weeks at #1)

The Queens are back! How fitting that one of the groups that made me fall in love with J-Pop have the biggest video of the year almost 10 years to the date I took to the whole Asian music scene? Well, if any video deserves it, it is Monochrome. It spent an ASTOUNDING seven weeks at number one this year and is hands down the biggest video on the Countdown for 2008, and maybe ever! Yuki and Cico are two of my faves and it will be interesting to see what 2009 brings!

That is all! Tune in Friday for the FIRST PASSION OF CHACHI TOP 20 VIDEO COUNTDOWN of 2009! Bennie K took it this year but look out for BoA, Ikimonogakari, Aqua Timez and even more Kanye West and Game! 2009 is looking up!

Well, I want to thank everyone who visited the blog this year. Whether you cared about the Countdown or not, it is good to have you visit and take a look. Stay tuned for the 2008 Year In Review Omnibus which I will work on tomorrow (Once I sober up and all…) and have up this weekend. If you still have questions to ask, lay them on me before then. Thank you again to all of the fans out there and I will put in the work to keep you coming. Until next time, stay up peeps. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

2008: Well...At Least It Wasn't 1987. Now THAT Was A Shitty Year.

What is up, peeps! I am back for a quick update before the final few days of 2008! There are a few things I want to bring up right now:

Congratulations, Falcons!

As a Falcon fan, I am very happy about this season. Even as optimistic as I was, I never thought that these guys would rally together like they have and pull off what they have done. They came one bad New Orleans defensive read of being NFC South Champs which is a lot more than any Falcons fan thought. Hell, many of us thought they would be bumped down to a Big East Conference team. And STILL finish 4-8. Instead, we got arguably the most offensively sound (Few sacks, until recently few turnovers) in the NFL combined with a defense that seemed to stop people at pivotal moments when teams of our past would have ran away and said “HE’S COMING RIGHT FOR US!” while they ran up and down the field. Rookie QB, rookie coach, career backup running back and a malcontent wide receiver equals one of the biggest team chemistry and team rebuilding turn-arounds in sports history. People who aren’t fans do not understand how the collective hearts of the Atlanta Falcon fandom sank when Mike Vick walked into that courthouse as we watched video of him blatantly lying to his fans on draft day about his participation in dogfighting. When Bill Parcells said not no but HELLS NO to becoming the leader of the Falcons franchise to go to the DOLPHINS THAT ONLY WON ONE DAMN GAME showed how badly this franchise had fallen. Even the staunchest fan turned their backs. I was one of the most skeptical fans out there, seeing my favorite team go through so many shifts and changes that it didn’t even look the same. They let go of Warrick Dunn (A personal fave) DeAngelo Hall (Who could eat my ass) and Alge Crumpler (Who ate everything in sight…no offense) which pretty much gutted the team. Then…something happened. Matt Ryan, a guy who called “talented but man is he prone to fuckups” stepped in and didn’t fuck up. He actually played well. The Falcons began to win and dammit it felt good. Real good.

So today I look forward to the Falcons in the playoffs for the first time without Mike Vick in over a decade. I honestly thought this day wouldn’t come for three years or so but here I am totally looking forward to next Saturday’s playoff game. I am more of a closet sports fan (I can only discuss it with Rick for the most part) but today I am happy to say I am proud of my team. Great job, guys. Great job.

I Have A Dream…Of A New Holiday!

Okay, so I am sick and tired of there being that lull after New Year’s Eve until Valentine’s Day. Mostly because I haven’t had a good Valentine’s Day since 2006. However, I think it is time that we as Americans rally around a new holiday. It is a day that is overdue for a mascot and even a festive food choice. I bring to you the new major celebrated holiday…

MARTIN LUTHER KING JR DAY

Yes, before you hippies start your blathering I know he already has a day. What I mean is make Martin Luther King Day the next Christmas. Not in terms of the Jesus ridiculousness. I mean we should have Martin Luther King Day cookies and cakes! They will ring with the delicious taste of freedom and equality! Much like Christmas has eggnog, MLK Day can have Swirl Milkshakes! Taste the racial equality and refreshing, frosty taste of vanilla and chocolate mixed together! Oh, and I know some of you assholes were thinking I was going to say orange drink or something and for that I hope you get raped in the face…racist jackass. We should have a Santa Claus-like mascot! Martin Luther King delivers justice to all the good White and Black boys and girls (No Mexicans. You have Cinco De Mayo AND that creepy Day of the Dead thing that no one knows but you. Besides, Mexicans + Corona + tejano music = a holiday ANYDAY!) of America…and he gives out CD’s of Curtis Mayfield and Marvin Gaye! Why? They are fucking awesome and if you don’t think so you should be whacked in the babymakers. You could even sit on MLK’s lap at the mall and tell him what you want for MLK day! Of course, don’t ask for separate but equal because you will catch a hot one to your domepeice.

Top it off with some MLK Day carols and we will be all set! It would be the greatest day ever! Could you imagine the Charlie Brown MLK Day Special? It would look a lot like this:

See, already better than Christmas! So join me on Martin Luther King Day in celebrating his contributions and shaking it like a Polaroid picture while drinking phosphates and ringing out in his familiar chorus! HEEEEEEEEYYYYYYY YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!

Well, I will be back this week. If you have any questions for the Omnibus let me know them know because I will be working on it on Tuesday. Until then, stay up peeps.

Rap: Sucking Since Some Hatin' Ass Nigga Decided To Take Tupac Shakur From Us.

What is up, people?! It is the week before 2009 and I hope all of you had a great Christmas or whatever holiday you celebrate or whatever. Well, the Year End Extravaganza is completed (Barring some huge chart moves) and I am gearing up for the Year End Omnibus so be sure to get me your questions ASAP if you want them answered on the 30th. Just a heads up and reminder about that. Just leave a comment or send an email if you have questions that you want answered. Short update tomorrow to recap the last week of the NFL slate of games and a few short words (Maybe) about the Atlanta Falcons and their turnaround this year. If you aren’t a Falcons fan, you wouldn’t understand.

Well, real quickly. I need to get something off my chest. Can I just say that I am sick of rappers talking about how much money they have while we are in the beginnings of a FUCKING RECESSION? I mean seriously, if you are so ballin why don't you help some of the schools that can't get technology funding or some of the safehouses for abused women that are shutting down left and right? You wonder why no one takes your trifiling asses seriously. YOU DON'T TAKE YOUR TRIFILING ASSES SERIOUSLY! All the money in the fucking world (Or so you claim) and you can't buy a bit of common-fucking-sense. It is why I switched to J-Pop and K-Pop. Well, that and I love's me some YA-KYIM. But mostly because rappers piss me off. Kanye was wrong: BLACK PEOPLE DON'T CARE ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE. Or as Prop 8 showed, Black people don't care about much of anything. Except Lil' Wayne. Still don't understand that one. GET A DAMN HAIR CUT, YOU HIPPIE!

Well, enough on that. I just get sick and tired of relying on the same five rappers to bail me out of the cespool that is the current rebuilting of hip hop. Every brick that someone lays down, 50 Cent manages to tear down. Or Plies, I think he is hot in the streets now. And I STILL don't know what a Shawty Lo is. I will be back soon, hopefully Sunday evening. Until then, stay up peeps and enjoy some YA-KYIM:

I love this fucking song so much right now.

Another Christmas, Another Year Without Christmas Cake...

Well, it has been another year and another successful 52 weeks. But we now have the final Countdown of 2008 so sit back and see the final listing for the biggest videos on Earth with…

Chachi’s Top 20 Video Countdown

Let’s begin with Falling Out:

T.I. – What Up, What’s Happening (Peaked at #2)
HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR – Remember (Peaked at #6)

HAMC’s swan song makes me sad as we end the year and as for T.I. I guess he will be gone for a year as well for other reasons. Let’s get the Countdown started with the return of the shooting stars of 2008!

20. YA-KYIM respects KOME KOME CLUB – Kimi Ga Iru Dake De (New Entry)

Hells yes! YA-KYIM is back with a mini-album of covers/remakes and this may be the best of the bunch! I was familiar with the Kome Kome Club but this song was one I had never really heard to a big extent due to my language barrier. I have to say, I love this song now. And these ladies are fine as hell.
19. Wonder Girls - Nobody (Last Week #16, One Week at #1)
The Wonder Girls are STILL hanging on to the Countdown this week! They don’t look to have a new video out before the end of the year, which is a shame.
18. Game feat Ne-Yo – Camera Phone (New Entry)

Looks like the Game is back! This time he brings along Ne-Yo whose irritation factor has dropped of significantly over the last few months. This initially wasn’t one of my favorite songs on the album but it has really grown on me.
17. Kanye West – Love Lockdown (Last Week #14, Two Weeks at #1)
Kanye is still holding on with his first video from 808’s and Heartbreak. He has arguably had the biggest year of any artist not named Lil Wayne and we will have to see if that equals awards.
16. Kanye West – Heartless (Last Week #19)
Mo Kanye, Mo Problems! His latest video jumps up three spots this week as we move on. Here is hoping he does a video for “Amazing” or “Coldest Winter” because those are my favorite songs on the album.
15. Young Jeezy – Crazy World (Last Week #12)
The Snowman falleth! He falls three spots this week as we end the year. Can he get his latest video out by next week?
14. Joe Inoue – Closer (Last Week #17)

Joe Inoue moves up this week as they look to start off 2009 with a bang! Their Naruto opening is looking to become the third to make it to the Top Three.
13. David Cook – Light On (Last Week #15)
Yeah, I like David Cook. Sue me. With rock being relegated to the return of AC/DC. Guns ‘N’ Roses and Metallica…rock needs help.
12. Kumi Koda – Taboo (Last Week #10)
Miss Koda falls out of the Top 10 for the first time since October!! Her new album comes out next month and I am looking forward to this almost as much as I did Black Cherry! I missed my baby boo!
11. RSP with DA BUBBLE GUM BROTHERS – LA.LA.LA LOVE SONG (Last Week #13)
This song has officially taken over. It is one of the three new ringtones and when people hear it…they don’t know who it is and I don’t care. Either way, RSP is making the most of their Countdown debut!
10. Rain (Bi) – Rainism (Last Week #7)
We enter the Top 10 with Rain! And he is falling down this week. I am hoping that there is a video for “Fresh Lady” in my future but odds are…not this year. MAKE IT HAPPEN!
9. Aqua Timez - Velonica (Last Week # 11)
Aqua Timez is back! They move into the Top 10 for the second time this year and are hoping that they can pull down their second number one video! Also, Bleach is FINALLY kicking ass again in the manga. Get caught up and check it out!
8. UVERworld – Hakanaku mo Towa no Kanashi (Last Week #6)
UVERworld stalls once again in their quest to end their streak of videos not hitting number one. It is hard to top the success of three straight number one videos, though.
7. Nana Mizuki – TRICKSTER (Last Week #9)

Nana Mizuki is making the most of her stay! Her first time out and she is moving up to the Top Five! This video is now on the phone and I don’t care what people think about it. She is a cutie, too!
6. YUI – I’ll Be (Last Week #3)
Much like The World, Yui continues her streak of not hitting the number one after two straight chart-toppers. As a matter of fact, she has hit number two with six straight videos without taking the top spot again. Damn…that’s rough.
5. Paramore – Decode (Last Week #8)
Paramore is back near the top! This gives them their second Top Five video of 2008 in the last week of the Countdown of this year. Too bad it is from that shitty ass Twinkle movie. Oh, check out the trailer for Underworld. THAT is how you make a vampire movie, jackasses.
4. T.I. feat Rihanna – Live Your Life (Last Week #1, Five Weeks at #1)
T.I. and Rihanna fall from the top spot! They had the second longest reign of 2008 (Behind Bennie K’s astounding 7 weeks on top) and even though they fell from the top, they still had a very big year. We are down to the final Top Three of 2008!
3. Ikimonogakari – Kimagure Romanteikku (Last Week #5)

Ikimonogakari is back! For the second time this year, they make the Top Three! Can they FINALLY pull down their first number one video?
2. Halcali – LONG KISS GOODBYE (Last Week #4)

Halcali is back! The ladies move up to number two this week and are the highest they have ever been since 2006! But with T.I. & Rihanna at number four and Halcali at number two, the new queen is still on top!
1. BoA – Eat You Up [Korean Version] (Last Week #1, Two Weeks at #1)

BoA is on top for a second straight week! This song is the new officially all call ringtone and I even saw a commercial for this video on MTV! Could we see BoA truly invade America?! I hope so because dammit I am TIRED OF BRITNEY! Give me BoA!

That is all for the final Countdown of 2008! Tune in on January 2nd for the first Countdown of 2009! Will BoA begin 2009 the way she ended 2008 at number one? Or will Halcali return to the top spot? Or will Ikimonogakari FINALLY take the throne? Tune in next Friday to find out!

That is all for now, peeps! Tune in on New Year’s Eve for the End of Year Top 100 Video Countdown of 2008 and the Year End Extravaganzaa on December 30th including the final Omnibus of 2008! Stay tuned and stay up!

Chachi Out!

Merry Christmas, Everyone. Except For The Jews...

...they have a few more crazy nights. TO everyone out there, have a very merry motherfucking Christmas. I hope you enjoy your family. Or just get drunk of apple wine. It has been a hardcandy Christmas. I will be back for the Countdown tomorrow and get ready for the Year End Kickass Extravaganza! Stay up ya'll, here is some eggnog in yo face:

Peace on Earth, bitches.

Can You Find It In Your Heart To Forgive Me?!

Okay, okay. I felt bad about not living up to my end of the bargain with posting the nominees for the Chachi Music Awards.

NaNa looks to make it happen again! She was nominated for several awards after a strong end of 2007 but it carried over to 2008 and she racks up a few more nods! It is still Kanye and T.I. looking to battle it out with Hyori and Rain as the hip hop vs. K-Pop battle continues. Look out for Young Jeezy, he dominated the CMVA’s and that could carry over!

Well, that is all for now. I am about to grab a drink to celebrate the hard work of the Atlanta Falcons and hopefully be sober by the time I have to catch the bus to go to work tomorrow. Stay tuned to the Chachi Music Awards! The date the winners will be announced is January 25th 2009 and up until then I will be taking requests for any changes! Until then, stay up peeps!

Chachi Out!

THE FALCONS ARE IN THE PLAYOFFS! NUFF SAID!

Okay, I know I promised an update today but sadly it aint gonna happen. Why? Well…

THE ATLANTA FALCONS ARE IN THE MOTHERFUCKING PLAYOFFS, THAT’S WHY!

May the Wolven help us all if they make it to the Super Bowl. SUPER BOWL SHUFFLE, BITCHES!

Matt Ryan is the punky QB and yadda yadda yadda blah blah blah yakkity smackity. Man, I am about to get TORE UP! This only happens once every three years or so (About the same time frame I get intimate with a lady so I enjoys it while I can. GIGGITY!) so I am going to live it up and give the Chachi Music Awards Nomination special the day after Christmas. I truly apologize to those of you that were looking forward to it but step off, I’m doing the dirty bird! Stay up ya’ll and GO FALCONS!!!!1!!

Chachi Out

A Tie: Like Kissing Your Sister...If She Was Korean And Could Dance Like An Angel...

Okay, enough talk! MORE BUSINESS! And I am in the business of giving you the business of the twenty biggest videos on the planet. And business is booming!

Chachi’s Top 20 Video Countdown!

Let’s start with the videos no longer with us in Falling Out:

Hearts Grow – Sora (Peaked at #1 for Three Weeks)

Hearts Grow had one of the best runs of 2008. Let’s hope an album comes soon! Now let’s start with arguably the artist with the biggest YEAR!

20. T.I. – What Up, What’s Happening (Last Week #17)
The King of the South falls three spots this week as we begin the Countdown! It has been a dominant year so far, beginning in the Top Three and maybe ending at number one? Stay tuned!
19. Kanye West – Heartless (New Entry)

The other main contender for Artist of the Year has yet ANOTHER video debut on the Countdown! I am liking this song more and more as I hear it and the video (Albeit animated) has grown on me as well. Welcome back, Ye!
18. HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR – Remember (Last Week #15)
It looks like it is over for HAMC as their last video as a group for now looks to be spending its last week on the chart. We will remember…the good times…talk among yourself, I need air!
17. Joe Inoue – Closer (Last Week #20)
Okay, I am back and better now. Because Joe Inoue is moving on up! This video has a whole Gorillaz feel to it which is definitely a good thing.
16. Wonder Girls - Nobody (Last Week #13, One Week at #1)

Yeah…I need me some more Wonder Girls. Prepare the party van and call Chris Hansen because I need to take a seat over there because of them! BALDERDASH!
15. David Cook – Light On (Last Week #18)
David Cook is slowly moving up the Countdown this week. Kind of like another American Idol winner by the name of Daughtry. It took him almost two months to make it to the top which bodes well for Mr. Cook.
14. Kanye West – Love Lockdown (Last Week #10, Two Weeks at #1)
More Kanye! Okay, I actually LIKE “808 and Heartbreaks” so either I am in the minority or hip hoppers are in the closet about this album. Much like Kanye is firmly in the closet. I AM KIDDING!
13. RSP with DA BUBBLE GUM BROTHERS – LA.LA.LA LOVE SONG (Last Week #14)

RSP moves up only one spot this week. However, I AM SO LEARNING THE WORDS TO THIS SONG! Karaoke…I think I am ready to break it out.
12. Young Jeezy – Crazy World (Last Week #11)
Jeezy has a new video out soon! Which is good because this one falls a spot this week just short of the Top 10.
11. Aqua Timez - Velonica (Last Week # 16, Biggest Mover)
So…can we officially say that Aqua Timez is back? Just checking. They move up a big five spots this week as we now know that they can make a Bleach theme like no one else. Including the movie, isn’t this three?
10. Kumi Koda – Taboo (Last Week #8)
We are in the Top 10 as we begin with Kumi Koda! My baby boo falls two spots this week but I still have a soft spot for her. Just not in my pants. AH-OOOHHH-GA!
9. Nana Mizuki – TRICKSTER (Last Week #12)

Wow, Nana Mizuki move up three spots and into the Top 10 for the first time ever! It has been a pretty slow year for first timers on the Countdown this year but Nana is looking to follow ANOTHER NaNa that made a splash in 2007!
8. Paramore – Decode (Last Week #9)
Okay, I officially hate Twilight even more now. Who in the fuck optioned a video game for this shit?! The rumors better be false, goddamnit! Oh, Paramore moves up a spot this week. I am just so pissed off right now.
7. Rain (Bi) – Rainism (Last Week #4)
I almost have “Freeway” down for karaoke! “I’m Coming” isn’t going as swimmingly but damn it is hard to learn for someone that speak little to know Korean. This week, Bi falls once again. Time for a new video, guy.
6. UVERworld – Hakanaku mo Towa no Kanashi (Last Week #6)

The World stands pat at number six this week as they look to have stalled once again. Maybe a new album will help that out a tad…
5. Ikimonogakari – Kimagure Romanteikku (Last Week #7)
Ikimonogakari is back near the top! After a short break they move up two spots this week and back into the Top Five. The competition gets hellish from here on out, though. Can they hang?
4. Halcali – LONG KISS GOODBYE (Last Week #5)
Halcali moves up one spot this week as they inch closer to their first number one video in over two years! It has been a long ass time since “Tip Tip Taps” but this song and video are up there. My have they grown up…sunrise, sunset! We are down to three!
3. YUI – I’ll Be (Last Week #3)

YUI stands pat at number three this week as she watches a knockdown drag out fight for the top spot! Could she be faltering? Or just biding her time? We will have to see next week because for the third time ever….we have a tie for the throne!
1.T.I. feat Rihanna – Live Your Life (Last Week #1, Five Weeks at #1)

T.I. and Rihanna spend their FIFTH WEEK at number one and all I can say is that they are really fighting Bennie K for the video of the year crown. They have been on the Countdown longer with this video and are looking for more! Problem is, they split the crown this week…
1. BoA – Eat You Up [Korean Version] (Last Week #2, One Week at #1)

With the new Queen of K-Pop! BoA FINALLY takes the number one spot after a long run to the top! Okay, this song has officially grown on me and I can get past the “engrish” enough to enjoy a great dance track. Welcome to the top, baby!

Well, that is all for this week! Tune in next week to see if T.I. and BoA can break the tie! Or will Yui take the top after their exhausting brawl for number one? Or can Halcali kiss everyone goodbye and take over the Countdown throne? Tune in next Friday to find out!

Well, it is happy hour and then (probably) karaoke on the Friday before Christmas! I will be back on Sunday with the Chachi Music Awards Nominee Special so stay tuned! Until then, stay up peeps!

Chachi Out

Deja Vu? You Damn Right.

Kicking it old school for a day again...although I could have wrote this about LAST Friday but still. Times don't change in Colorado Springs. It's like fucking Groundhog's Day in this bitch.

Okay, I have had e-fucking-nough. It is time for me to lay down the fucking law to you fuckers. I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THE STUPID PEOPLE IN THIS FUCKING CITY. Not just this city, the entire country but I have to handle one issue at a time. The idiots, bros, whores and fucktards have ran this city long enough and now they need to be told what is wrong and shot in the fucking balls so they can’t reproduce. I am FINISHED PLAYING. Niggas get slapped for breathing from this day forward.

Law #1: Being Sexually Vindicated Is NOT Being A Whore.

It seems that women have this confused. I used to sit back and think that this was just bitterness from not getting any (which partially it is, I admit) but there is a thin line between vindication and exploitation. Having multiple sexual partners is okay (I figure) if you are doing it for pleasure. But lates face it: anything in excess is an addiction. If you do anything you can to quench that addiction, you are a FUCKING WHORE! Whether it is smoking, eating, drugs or fucking random people. So with that being said to have sex for the sheer enjoyment makes you a junkie. They aren’t called “narcotically vindicated” when they smoke crack because they want to. They are called CRACK WHORES! Now lets gear this back to simpler terms: when you pull the emotional aspect out of sex and just do it because “it feels good” or “I am getting what I want” what makes you any better than a person addicted to meth? Nothing because both end up being headcases. Name one whore that doesn’t have daddy issues or mommy issues that resulted in something from their daddy. The answer is none. So congratulations, people. If you fuck for fun you are nothing more than a crack whore: dead inside and sucking dick for Coke. Or in a woman’s case, a rum and coke. BURN!

Law #2: If You Go To A MARTINI BAR, You Drink A MOTHER FUCKING MARTINI!

I don’t know why, but this really pisses me the fuck off. I think it is the nerve that people in the Springs have when they walk into a martini bar (and not even a really GOOD one) and don’t see skanky 22 year olds (or skankier 42 year olds) shaking it to some Akon song. Let me explain something to you brain-dead, Jack Johnson loving, keg standing retards: there are places where you don’t fucking belong. If you can’t handle vermouth in your vodka or some brandy then a martini bar isn’t for you. Get….the fuck….OUT. Don’t complain, you knew what it was because MARTINI IS IN THE FUCKING NAME! Oh, and don’t order a fucking beer. That is what bars are for: rednecks and skanks. Be merry and get your piss flavored Coors at the Dublin House or something. Then bro out later on, I don’t care but don’t come into a place in a huff and fuck up my good time because you can’t hold a martini glass when you are drunk off Bud Light and the Captain. I hope you die of alcohol poisoning you inbred fuck.

Law #3: Cover It Up!

Now this is one that really….really needs to stop. Like last year. Women something needs to be explained to you. Your body is a temple. If it is as BIG as a fucking temple….I don’t want to see it. Now as a big dude this hurts me to say because I try to stick up for my big-boned people. I cannot stand up for you if you have your gut hanging out of your jeans like a kid that shoved too much ice cream on a fucking ice cream cone. I understand that every woman believes they are beautiful in their own way. Now I am sure you are beautiful on the inside (I know, I’ve been inside. Their houses so I can go through their belongings and find out where they work) but that does not give you a reason to wear shit you shouldn’t. As a big man, I try to dress as well as I can within budgetary reasons and I for the most part keep my ample body covered THE FUCK UP JUST FINE! Why can’t women cover up the same when they know damn well people don’t need to see all that? Now I know everyone one loves curves, but if you are round you need to lock it down. Some women out tonight looked like Charles Barkley in fucking skirts and heels! Which brings me to my next point: just because you are hot doesn’t mean you don’t have to abide by those rules. Now I have forever lived by the statement that “when you are hot, anything goes” but the hot took way too much advantage of that so like niggas and guns this shit has to be curbed right now. Now, let’s use some logic here.

· When niggas get spinning rims, they want people to look at their wheels.
· When rednecks get huge ass tires, they want you to look at the height of their truck
· When Mexicans get hydros, they want you to watch their car bounce
· When women wear tight clothes, they want people to look at what they have on and aren’t covering

IT IS THAT FUCKING SIMPLE. Even if it ISNT what you want, it is what is going to happen because dressing like you are trying out for the new She-Ra movie isn’t the damn norm. When things aren’t the norm that gather attention. If you don’t want attention, don’t dress like that. I see nowhere in the constitution about “Freedom To Dress Like A Stripper But Not Be Considered One” as one of the uninaliable rights we have. There is no reason to dress like that because if it aint for attention is sure as hell aint for comfort because all you do is bitch about how your feet hurt and your skirt rides up. Guess what? You are doing it for attention so quit lying and quit bitching. You can’t choose the attention you get so you can either fight social norms (Good luck with that shit. I have been fighting the Black thing for years) or put on some fucking clothes. It’s winter time and flu season so you do the math, bitch. Shut the FUCK UP or accept the stares.

Law #4: White People Are Fucktards, Black People Are Dipshits. Deal With It.

Now I am against Jim Crow and all of that bullshit. But the time comes when you just have to accept that people are just…different. Jews and Muslims don’t go to the same clubs and dance the Achy Breaky. So why are Blacks and Whites forced to go to the same club?! Separate but equal! Maybe it’s because niggas can’t calm down for two fucking seconds to not shoot up EVERY CLUB that plays hip hop because someone disagreed with your stance on the geopolitical situation in Darfur. I’m kidding; niggas don’t read the newspaper. Yet, clubs downtown do their best to make sure that Blacks don’t come into their clubs. From changing the dress code to changing the music to shitty techno (WHO THE FUCK LISTENS TO THAT SHIT?! It works at raves because we were too fucking high to care!), clubs take small measures to keep out the unsavory sector. Yet, that is the complete OPPOSITE of what they should be doing! There is one thing that niggas have that white people don’t it is disposable income. You’ve seen the videos, they make it rain on hoes! Why? Because niggas don’t pay bills. This of it like this: Clubs always have “Ladies Night” which means that women drink and get in free. Men not only have to pay but usually pay more than the usual night. That is a bad move because if there is one thing niggas love to do, it is buy dranks. Bitches love that shit, just like smileys. Losing money right there.

Don’t get me wrong, I understand the dress code. The whole big ass t-shirt and Timbs look went out in 1993 but I guess that shit is back like cooked crack because that’s all Black dudes wear. At the same time, how come bros can dress like they just woke the fuck up? I mean if I had to gauge the two, at least niggas put work into looking like fashion misfits. BROS DON’T EVEN FUCKING TRY. Yet they are considered fashionable. I guess that makes sense from a country that made Fergie a two time Grammy Award winner. That alone disgusts me because that bitch has two Grammys which is more than Run-DMC if I am not mistaken. The simple fact is that all people suck and to eliminate the stupid would require a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT of bullets.

Well, I am just about fed up with this shit. Eh, guess it is what it is until you just wish Flanders was dead. Yet I am they crazy one because I don’t think insanity (in terms of logic, not crazy but if the show fits) should be the norm. The Tick says it best:

"And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking. But when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit."

Sad. The most logical thing ever said was coined by an animated, invincible blue superhero named after a bug with eight legs when he obviously had two. Oh, and he may have been functionally retarded. That would make him good enough to President here. I am so going to fucking bed now; ye all abandon hope as the ship head toward a briny deep. Shit, I wonder how many people will even understand the nautical/pirate reference. Morons.

Countdown tomorrow and the Chachi Music Awards nominees on Sunday night. See you there!

Chachi Out.

I Dont NEED No Instructions To Know How To Blog!

Okay, a few things about life today…

Chachi’s Random Thoughts!

Thought #1: Women Love Free Stuff

Seriously. Have you seen them in the club? The main reason I would say 70% of them go (And you know who you are) is to get free drinks from Tha Drinkman. Then you get pissed because he follows you around. You know the old adage: if he buys you a drink and you drink it up, you going home with him! Now all the fellas sing it! Oy, I have quoted Jermaine Dupri twice in one calendar year. This HAS been a bad 365 days. Anyway, everyone loves free stuff but man a woman is all about not having to pay for something…unless she thinks she has to give up something in return. Which is odd, because strippers make a very good living that way. Yet all women hate strippers which is just jealousy but that is neither here nor there.

Thought #2: I REALLY Don’t Like Beyonce

Nothing new to this. I really just think that she has proven you can take marginal talent and a lot of beauty to the top of the charts and in the heart of stupid bitches. She is to dumb bitches what R. Kelly was to niggas. Minus the whole peeing thing I guess. Haven’t heard of any watersports on her resume. However, I do love the ironic duality of “Single ladies” and “If I Were A Boy” to which when I pointed it out today at Virgin Megastore (I guess it’s a “megastore” but it looks like a fucking Media Play to me) I was met with the response of “no it doesn’t!” by some girl in line to which I asked if she knew what irony means to which she kind of got pissed. Yes, I know it was uncalled for but if you can’t see the douchery of two-faced actions well I have a shitload of Republican House and Senate seats to sell you. Wait, I mean a Democratic Senate seat. OH SNAP, TWO BURNS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE!

Thought #3: Do People Really Even CARE About Their Kids?

Last weekend I went Christmas shopping for a bit and took some time looking for a gift for a friend of mine that took me to the book section. Now you all know I think reading is for losers in academia and in life but I digress. So while I was looking at books, a kid (nine year old) just started talking to me out of nowhere about how much she hated “Twilight.” Now I am not sure of the age range of the dumb ass book and/or movie but anyone who hates Twinkle (Trust me, it fits) is a friend of mine. All of a sudden, we struck up a conversation for a good while. Until I realized something:

SHOULDN’T THIS KID HAVE PARENTAL SUPERVISION?!

It kind of weirded me out for a second because I didn’t want people thinking I was dating a young white girl (Young Asian girl…maybe. In Japan, I would be seen as dating a MILF if she was 17! What a country!) and at the same time was very worried because it is Christmastime and the bookstore was PACKED meaning anyone could snatch this kid. I went to the coffee area and hung out there (Wide open area and all) and she told me her mother went Christmas shopping about two hours ago and told her to “not get into trouble” to which I responded “did she give you a Pokeball and compass, too? That sounds dangerous!” to which she responded “yeah, I know.” I found this a tad bit disheartening because she was fully aware her mother was doing a shabby job like…protecting her safety and all. About twenty minutes later her mother came with a shitload of bags and whisked her off but not before asking her…and I quote here….”Who is your new friend?”

BITCH, I AM A GROWN ASS MAN!

I mean as normal as it sounds for a 28 year old and a nine year old to drink juice at a coffee shop and talk about Bleach I have to say that outside of an anime convention or the lobby of a Chris Hansen sting that kind of thing isn’t status quo. She seemed like a nice enough lady and she had her two youngest children (I guess they were hers) with her but still. Maybe I was looking at this wrong but something about that just says really not safe. There are REAL Loli Hunters out there, and they aren’t all cute and cuddly:

PEDO BEAR LIVES! In the heart of every child…and it he has his way INSIDE every child if you get my drift. BOO-YAH! Well, I am out for now. Probably something quick tomorrow and then here is to Caturday! Anyone down for some Caturday fun and festivities (Mostly we just light up the nip. CATNIP, MOFO! WE’S GETTING HIGH!) join the party van! I am out for now.

Quid Por Blow: Because Whenever A Man Does Anything For You...He Wants A Blowjob.

It's time for a little bit of the Classic action! I will be back up on Wednesday for something quick (Full rant and the Chachi Awards this weekend. I PROMISE!) but until then, here is a rant from March of 2007. Anyone that wants to know what brought this post on, just ask. I will tell you the story over a drink or two. Enjoy:

Chachi Line News Reports!

What Ever Happened to Chivalry?

Chivalry. Everyone knows what the word is, but what exactly does it mean? Most importantly, why is it so vilified? The reason I ask is simple. As one whose momma didn’t play no games (well she did, it was called ‘Smack A Fool For Living’) she taught me several things about women in my life:

- Everyone deserves a good ass-kicking. You just should NEVER hit a woman.
- Treat a woman like a woman whether she is with you or not.
- Those dogs can smell drugs. So you gotta kick them in the nose! (Not about women per se, but this has came in handy a few times)
- Be a gentleman, but don’t let a woman take advantage of you.

She told me some other stuff, but it was odds are while I was in a Sharpshooter and was blinded by pain. Long story short, my mom taught me be respectful, but to not be taken advantage of. Now I am an asshole and a pushover. Wow….that girl was right, I really don’t listen.

Anyway, back to the point. Yesterday I opened the door for a friend of mine and she said ‘You don’t have to open the door for me’ to which I replied ‘Yes, I do.’ After a lengthy (and partial listened to because Maximum the Hormone was on my deck and they are the mad notes) I asked why do women always get rather defensive about any act of a man just doing what is fucking normal? Then she said something that really put it all down. Something I didn’t want to accept because I couldn’t believe we had become such a sucky ass society:

“It’s the exception, that’s all”

Wow. Since when did doing what you were supposed to do become the exception and not the norm? It reminds me of the Chris Rock comments about fathers that raise their children. It is your JOB to take care of your fucking kids, you don’t deserve kudos. I don’t care if it isn’t the norm; it is what you are supposed to do. I think that as a man, you are supposed to open a door or pull a chair out for a woman. I don’t want a fucking cookie and I don’t necessarily need a thank you for it. Oh, and if you are a woman and you think that a man that shows you any form of kindness automatically wants to fuck you then you are a whore and listen to too many comics and worthless fucks that have no concept of being a gentleman. More on that later. Oh I am SO going back to that shit.

So why is chivalry all but dead? Well, it is a two way street of both women being raised stupid and men just being BORN stupid. A simple breakdown of what I have learned over the last 26 years of my life about women, men and the dynamic between the two leads me to believe that these are some (not all, but the major) reasons of the end of chivalry as we know it:

1) Men Aren’t Taught How To Be (Normal) Men
Okay, I am really getting sick of this shit right here. I know that men are supposed to be sex-crazed, sports-obsessed, disgusting forces of nature that are expected to command and conquer all they see. Well guess what? Last I checked, evolution happens (fuck intelligent design because men aint intelligent and the design leaves a lot to be desired) and really should have taken massive steps past clubbing women and taking them to the cave to make babies. Being a man aint about fucking, fighting and farting. It is protecting, providing and procuring knowledge to pass on. If all you can teach your kid is how to get a woman drunk enough to fuck you and the intricacies of a 46 defense (which truthfully is very effective with the right personnel) then congratulations. You are a leading force in the Dumbening of America. It’s people like you why kids are having sex in class and can’t find Oklahoma on a map of the United States. Way to help the gender, you ass.

2) Women Aren’t Taught How To Be Women
Yeah, I so went there. Women were at a crossroads in 1998 like Blacks were at a crossroads in the mid-1970’s. Instead of attempting to, I don’t know USE the rights that women fought for in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s you by attempting to create a better image and lifestyle for the next generation of women to lead you instead chose to get back tattoos, embrace your inner whore and forget that with power comes responsibility. I understand that women have every right to be defensive because a lot of men out their were raised (or grew up) stupid. However, and it pains me to say this, if you think the worst of people, all you will get is the worst out of life. I always say that I have given up on people and that people suck. I don’t honestly believe that because if I did I wouldn’t have met Rick, Zach, Kandi, Jen, D’Ann and most importantly Griff. Hell, people tried to get us to FIGHT on his first day and we hashed that out. Thinking the worst of men is a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy (and boy do I know about that) so if you think that all men aint shit, that’s all you will get because that is what you expect to get and it is WHAT YOU WILL GET. It’s not rocket science, its Communications.

3) Not EVERY Man Is Trying To Screw You
Now this goes against everything any woman has ever heard. Every comedian says it and every man says it because…well men are fucking stupid and for the most part lack originality. Men may invent the majority of the technological advances but actually thinking for ones self died with the rhetors of old. Nick and I had this discussion in great detail every fricking Friday and we just never got it. It is ingrained in every female at some point that all every man wants to do is fuck them Which can be seen as true. However, I hate to burst your bubble ladies but the chalice isn’t as much as a commodity as it used to be. If the vagina was currency, it would be the Euro. Sure, some of the lesser, crappier and swarthier countries use it, but REAL countries only take it when the time is right (i.e. when you are tourist dumb enough to change all your dollars into it). See, I am the King of Metaphors. Seriously, any woman that thinks that has a real low opinion of themselves that they believe that no man is interested in them enough to think that they are nothing more than a glory hole with a face. First off, you can never say all because if there is an exception then it becomes the rule and “all” is no longer a feasible option as one difference eliminates total uniformity in your logic. You can say “most” but even still that is a reach.

I think the real statement is “All men that YOU have dealt with have wanted to fuck you.” At that point it is soul searching time. I for example felt that all women were succubi in college. Then I realized it was the women that I dealt with that emotionally drained and mentally wrecked me to the point that I felt that I was un-dateable. By making me feel that way, it got to the point that when a female DID want to date me (like once every Olympic year or so, give or take a Goodyear Games year) I convinced myself that she didn’t. Sad, but true. I realized that was a stupid way to live (after a come to Jesus meeting my senior year with a female friend of mine that pretty much said stop being a punk ass trick and go for it. Funny story, I’ll tell you about it in a one off if you want to hear about it) and got over that. Now I am just bitter for humor reasons and to teach the young. I’m like a bitter Yoda.

Back to the original point. The simple fact is that a slight majority (from what I have noticed from my friends it’s about 60-65%) of women believe that when a man is nice to you, he is trying to get something from you. Well ladies, here is the sad truth. If a man REALLY wanted to “get” you, he would by any means necessary. That is a sad and scary statement but face it. It’s true. School violence is a reality, terrorism is a reality and men what will “dope and grope” is a reality. Be smart, ladies. Get a sippy cup. No spill AND you can get spiffy designs! Besides, any man that is willing to “drug and rub” will odds are not pull out your chair, open your door or pay for your dinner, even if you aren’t dating. Most pervert assholes are also cheap. Can I get an amen from Rick and the congregation about the Lazy Negro Theory?! It is an easy way to weed out the pricks from the gentlemen.

4) It Is Just The Right Thing To Do (IMHO)
You know what? Ignorance is spreading at an alarming rate. When someone is stupid (grinds on you at the club, buy you a drink that you didn’t see poured, is completely vulgar and disrespectful) to a woman in the club, usually she does nothing to stop it because it is expected. Yet, any act of normalcy (saying excuse me, standing to shake hands when someone comes to the table, no interrupting a conversation) is met with a weird look. Since when what doing the right thing seen as the wrong thing? I’m sorry, I open fucking doors. I’m a renegade male, it is how I do things. When a woman and go to lunch or dinner, I pay. It’s not a status thing (Ask Visa cause them fuckers aint NEVER getting paid) because I am poor and it is not because I am expecting some. It is because it is the right thing to do. As a woman, if you feel that because a man buys you a cookie that he is expecting some nookie you have no respect for yourself and you have no respect for him. Some men don’t deserve the respect and I will admit that. Hell, I know some of them. Some of us live with some of them. Some of you ladies DATED SOME OF THEM FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. You know who you are. In the end, as geeky as it sounds love (if you believe in it) is like a computer program. Garbage in, garbage out. If you go at it half-assed, you get a half-assed result. Same with chivalry. If you do what you should, nothing can come out of it but good. You got that right, turkey! Anyone notice that Blaster from Transformers and Roadblock from GI Joe were the same guy. And spoke in rhyme? Now THAT’S RACIST.

5) No One Knows What To Do.
Okay, this is no ones fault really. Most men don’t KNOW to open doors for women because they have never been taught. Most women don’t KNOW to take a jacket of a date or put one on (I was TOTALLY shocked when that happened on Friday, I will admit) is proper etiquette. In the end….no one really knows what to do.

In closing, I’m not saying America should be like LARPing with the whole ‘milady’ and ‘milord’ bullshit. However, some things are just courteous and chivalry is one of them. It isn’t about being manly or ladylike; it is about being a fucking nice person. It bugs me that being an asshole is the norm for men, and women allow it. (Edit: It also pisses me off how women are expected to be irrational and "emotional" which is bitch-speak for "illogical" with no reprocussion. That is just my opinion). Now ladies I am not saying to always expect a man to open your doors or pay for your meals. That’s disrespectful and how you get hit with a Muscle Buster, Samoa Joe style. A little kindness and courtesy goes a long way, in my opinion. I’m just saying. Aaaaaand that is my rant.

Alright, ya'll. I will post more old school stuff from time to time and may just redo one to save some sleeptime and my fucking sanity. Until next time, stay up.

Colorado: The Wolven's Least Favorite State Since Mount Mutombo Left.

Okay, can somebody explain to me WHY IN THE FUCK IT IS -4 DEGREES OUTSIDE?! I HATE THIS FUCKING CITY SO FUCKING MUCH! If I am not out of here by my birthday I am going to go POMPEII ON A MOTHERUCKER. I am so seriously about that.

So back to the good stuff. I am not proud to admit it, but I have had a certain song stuck in my head. All day…and it hurts. It hurts because I totally hate this song and have since college. I remember Griff and I even having a conversation while he was at work when this song came out about how bad it was but his exact words were “Man, this song sucks but it is going to be huge.” He was right. Now I can’t get it out of my head despite not even HEARING IT ONCE IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS. Damn it, there is goes again. I’m going down, down baby yo street in a Range R….SHIT FUCK TIT CUNT CASHMERE CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM ASS! Yeah, it’s THAT song:

Nelly’s “Country Grammar.” It wasn’t even any good! I mean I could tolerate “Dilemma” and “Ride Wit Me” was actually pretty damn good but the rest of his catalog sucks teh ass. Man, it is going to be rough until I get it out of my head.

No on to something more crucial. So a few months ago I sat back and said how the Zune was a good MP3 player. While it wasn’t as easy to use as the iPod, it was a lot crisper of a player. I take all of that back. The Zune can suck my fucking cock. Microsoft can swallow my BALLS because I have called support twice and had to wait on hold with them for a total of an hour and three minutes I believe. Now I should say that at least they HAD technical support because when my iPods have crapped out they have always said “Well, it sucks to be you” which I guess is fair play because I was an uber-dick sometimes at Gateway. But it seems that the Zune is just as shitty as the iPod which I stated but man, this is just fucking sad. They force you to upgrade to a new version of the software that forced me to update the firmware on the Zune that promptly made it unrecognizable by Vista to the point I HAD TO SEND IT BACK only to get new Zune with the same fucking problem. After tinkering with it, the unit now works but hell, I am not even sure if I fucked it up even more. Its times like this I miss my god damn Walkman.

Well, that is all for now. I will repost an old rant for Tuesday and will put something new up on Wednesday, but it will be kind of short. Thursday will odds are be a repeat and Friday will be the Countdown and unless it snows late I will be up in Denver for Happy Hour and then karaoke. I have downloaded the lyrics for “La La La Love Song” and “Freeway” by Rain and have been studying them and the kanji non-stop in hopes of pulling them off. Under the power of soju, all karaoke dreams in Japanese are possible. Or to a lesser extent, Rain’s “I’m Coming” in Korean which is a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. But that’s the fun, mofos! If you are down to ride along let me know.

Stay warm, peeps because I am out.

Gays: Making Showtime Tolerable Since 1997

Okay…as you have noticed the Chachi Music Award Nominees ARE NOT HERE. Your eyes aren’t deciving you, I just have been way too tired this week. After a long Friday (Vesper + soju + hangin with KC = fun times, albeit tiring) and an even LONGER Saturday (3:17am...yeah, never again) and a rollercoaster of a game between the Falcons and Bucs in which I nearly had a kitten three times but the ATL finally pulled it out in OT. So long story short it was a long ass weekend and WAY TOO FUCKING SHORT as I have to go to work tomorrow. However, since the nominees are about 50% completed anyway. Actually 100%, I just need to type everything up so I may post them on Saturday after I come back from Denver Friday night. If anyone is interested hitting D-Town let me know.

Also, I have decided NOT to do the Omnibus until the end of the year for two reasons:

1. I want 10 questions and I only have five. Keep’ em coming!
2. I am taking the advice of a certain someone and going to figure out a way to put my blogs in video form. I am not really videogenic so…yeah, I’m working on that part.

But yes, everything has been pushed back which is per the norm in the holiday season. Last year it got like this because of training and travel and this year I am just exhausted as all hell. It’s life though.

One quick thing I want to talk about before I go. There seems to be an issue that is coming up between the gay community and the Black community over Prop 8 in California. I touched on this in a rant a few weeks ago but since CNN needs ratings, gays can't let go (Just like women) and Black people are just fucking stupid they are still talking about it. First off, understand this: the Black vote doesn't count. It worked for Ruben Studdard, it worked for Fantasia and it worked for that time they voted for the new flavor of Kool-Aid. Aside from that, Black people voting really doesn't accomplish much. So say what you will about the numbers that if Blacks had voted against Prop 8 in higher numbers that it wouldn't have passed. There is a simple reason why they voted the way they did. Black people are stupid. Trust me, I know Black people. They put $10,000 sets of rims on $5,000 cars. They wear Gucci print suits to proms and they wear jewelry and gaudy clothing that would make Elton John of the 70's look like a god damn Mormon. Everyone knows it and it aint in White people's place to say it but we all know...niggas fuck shit up for everyone. Especially the gays.

You see, my experience has showed me that Black people don't like the idea of gays getting the same rights as other minorites (Or most importantly THEM because theys selfish) because when it all breaks down, no one has to know you are gay. Now I understand this argument and even agree with it. However, since Black people rarely run off of LOGIC (Just like women. DAMN IT, I AM SCIENCE!) they don't understand that even when people don't KNOW you are gay, you still are and hiding who you are is even more painful in some cases than just being hated for who you are. Hell, when I hid the fact I was an anime nerd from a certian lady in college so she would date me it was even worse when she found out after she looked on my computer and found about 30 gigs of anime (the porn was on a backup, btw) on it. Now imagine that horror multiplied by a thousand. Yes, everyone knows you are Black and has the ability to oppress you up front, but no one is stopping you from the basic right of getting married or adopting kids. Whey anyone would want to do EITHER is beyond me but who am I to say they can't? Don't even get me started on the Bible. Oddly enough, doesnt the bible say that all people of color are evil? Yet, Black people still read and follow that dumb ass book? You see, niggas don't know logic. In closing, the gay community is barking up the wrong tree by being upset at Blacks about Prop 8 because sadly they don't care and don't want to understand why it was a bullshit proposition in the first place. But when you are dealing with a people that think 50 Cent has redeeming qualitied...you really are expecting too much. I am just saying.

Well, I will be back up at some point during this week for some nondescript reason. Until then, commence to jiggling!:

Damn, I have been laughing about this one for a few days now. SNL is only funny three times a year so they still have two left. Peace out, ya’ll.

Chachi Out

The Month Of The King!

I am back and on time this week! So sit back, relax and enjoy the 20 biggest videos on the planet! I give to you…

Chachi’s Top 20 Video Countdown!

Let’s start with the videos that are no longer with us in Falling Out:

Hyori Lee – Hey Mr. Big! (Peaked at #3)
Alicia Keys - Superwoman (Peaked at #7)

Miss Hyori and Miss Keys fall out of the Top 20 but both still had big years. Now let’s begin with the fourth Naruto theme to make the Countdown!

20. Joe Inoue – Closer (New Entry)

Okay, so this song has officially grown on me. My love of Naruto has fallen off over the last three months or so but damn it this video is kind of cool. They remind me of Asian Kung Fu Generation but less rock, more pop. Not a bad thing though.
19. Hearts Grow – Sora (Last Week #15, Three Weeks at #1)
Looks to be their last days on the Countdown. Damn shame, they had one hell of a 2008.
18. David Cook – Light On (Last Week #20)
So I have never really looked forward to an American Idol….and I am not now. Even still, David Cook moves up two spots this week.
17. T.I. – What Up, What’s Happening (Last Week #14)
The year of TI! He is still holding on this week as he has two videos in the Top 20 and has for a good part of the beginning and end of 2008. Artist of the Year nod? Find out Sunday!
16. Aqua Timez - Velonica (New Entry)

YES! OH MY GOD YES! IT FEELS SO GOOD! Aqua Timez is back with another beginning for Bleach and god damn it is about time! It premiered this week and you know it is going to be on this bitch. NEW RINGTONE!
15. HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR – Remember (Last Week #12)
I just saw one of their last live performances this weekend and…I am so going to miss them. IT JUST AINT RIGHT!
14. RSP with DA BUBBLE GUM BROTHERS – LA.LA.LA LOVE SONG (Last Week #16)
Just got the single and damn it this is one catchy ditty. Wasn’t really a fan of RSP until this one but I have to say, good stuff.
13. Wonder Girls - Nobody (Last Week #10, One Week at #1)

Where in the hell are the Wonder Girls?! In the USA of course! Can anyone get me tickets to their NYC or LA show? PLEASE?!
12. Nana Mizuki – TRICKSTER (Last Week #18, Biggest Mover)
Wow, big move for a first time out! Nana Mizuki has caught my attention with this video because the song is rocking and she is damn fine. Reminds me of another NaNa…
11. Young Jeezy – Crazy World (Last Week #13)
The Snowman is moving back up! Can he get his third Top 10 video before the end of 2008? He could be a sleeper pick for Artist of the Year!
10. Kanye West – Love Lockdown (Last Week #8, Two Weeks at #1)
So two new videos for Kanye and I am not sure which one I like more. Odds are the one without DJ Khaled yelling for no reason.
9. Paramore – Decode (Last Week #11)

So Paramore is back in the Top 10! It has been a while (About six months) since they have been here and although I love the video…I would prefer it not be from “Twilight.” Or as I call it “Gay Ass Vampire Party”
8. Kumi Koda – Taboo (Last Week #5)
Kumi Koda falls this week but her new video is gaining on me although like I said last week, she is looking rough in her live performances of this song. Real rough.
7. Ikimonogakari – Kimagure Romanteikku (Last Week #9)
Moving up two spots, Ikimonogakari is looking to take over as the new players on the Countdown. This is a good video to start with!
6. UVERworld – Hakanaku mo Towa no Kanashi (Last Week #7)
LIVE UVERWORLD DVD! LIVE UVERWORLD DVD! LIVE UVERWORLD DVD! Detail soon! FUCK YES, MOTHERFUCKER!
5. Halcali – LONG KISS GOODBYE (Last Week #6)

Into the Top Five and Halcali is slowly moving this week. Quite a departure from their five and six spot leaps over the last two weeks but the top is getting a bit crowded with big names…
4. Rain (Bi) – Rainism (Last Week #2)
RAIN IS FALLING! Bi falls from the runner up spot after two weeks of trying to knock off the king. The English version of this song…not bad. Not bad at all.
3. YUI – I’ll Be (Last Week #4)

Yui is back in the Top Three…once again…and I have to say she is becoming a fixture in 19 spots on this Countdown. Can she take the one spot she hasn’t had in almost two years…number one?
2. BoA – Eat You Up [Korean Version] (Last Week #3)

BoA is inching closer to the top spot! She moves up one place this week and takes over for Bi in the runner up position! Okay…I am officially feeling this song. The English is bad but that is what makes it awesome. With BoA at number two, the king is still in his throne!
1. T.I. feat Rihanna – Live Your Life (Last Week #1, Four Weeks at #1)

For one full month, the King of the South has been the King of the Countdown! It has been a big year for T.I. and now the question is: how will prison effect his position on here? He will be gone for quite a while so he is lucky to be holding on like this. All hail the king!

Well that is all for this week! Come back next week to see if TI and Rihanna can hold on for a fifth week to the top spot! Or see if BoA will eat up the competition and become the new queen! Or will Yui FINALLY move back to the top? Tune in seven days from now to find out!

Well, sushi tomorrow and odds are KARAOKE AND SOJU PARTAY! Should be fun, peeps. If you want to roll, let me know. Until then, peace out.
