250 POSTS, FOOL!!!

Ah, another milestone, peeps. 250th post today and dare I say it feels like the first time. Not really, but still. It has been fun to bring you the pointless joys of my life and give you my rantings and musings. Here is to like...seven more posts! AIM HIGH!!

It is also Friday which means it is time for the usual. Its time for the...

PASSION OF CHACHI TOP 20 VIDEO COUNTDOWN!!!

We begin this week with a song on the way out....

20. Pushim, RHYMESTER, HOME MADE KAZOKU, MABOROSHI, May J – I Say Yeah (Last Week #17)
It is a sad day. Cold outside (per the usual) and dammit, May J is on her way out with the crew!
19. Evanescence – Lithium (New Entry)

YES! MY GOD YES! Amy Lee is back! Bite me, I likes Amy Lee. Good to see the band have a new video after “Call Me When You Are Sober’ because that was a LOOOOONG time ago.
18. Halcali – Look (Last Week #20)
The young ladies of Halcali move up two spots this week. Thank you to the ladies at Jpop and Kpop for uploading this video for me! It’s a great site if you like PV’s. Now I have my Halcali fix and can live over the next few snowpacked days. Eveything is coming up Milhouse! Except for our next video…
17. John Legend – Save Room (Last Week #15, #1 for five weeks)
After the domination by John Legend over the last few months, John may be spending his last week on the Top 20 with this video. At least he still has ‘Heaven’ in the Top 10 and HOPEFULLY a new video soon!
16. Koda Kumi – Twinkle (Last Week #18)

Yeah, I like this song. I talk a lot of stuff about Ms. Koda but at the end of the day, I think she is quite alright. That and there is no half naked gyrating in this video. Suprisingly, I like clothes in my videos sometimes.
15. Nelly Furtado – Maneater (Last Week #13)
So the dominant lady of 2006 falls a bit with this song. Man, I have to say that the saucieness of Nelly in this video is quite nice. And her album kicks more ass than anyone can ever comprehend.
14. Justin Timberlake feat. T.I. – My Love (Last Week # 11)
Give me a new video, Justin. Soon these will become threats rather than suggestions. You have been fricking warned!
13. Nas – Hip Hop Is Dead (Last Week #14)
Nas creeps up another spot this week. So I was listening to some Nas yesterday and I realized something. I miss Az. He was actually (sometimes) pretty fucking good. Someone needs to bring this guy back. I could imagine him on a Kanye beat right now, and I like what I’m thinking.
12. UVERworld - Kimi no Suki na Uta (Last Week #9, #1 for four weeks)

ONE WEEK TILL THE NEW ALBUM. According to Wikipedia, anyway. I’m gonna go wait in line after this post.
11. T.I. feat Young Jeezy, Young Dro, Big Kuntry, & B.G. – Top Back (Remix) [Last Week #16, Biggest Mover]

I like my beat down low and my T.I. in the Top 10. Not quite there, but on his way. I’m sorry, I am just shocked that B.G. is still alive. My god, I really thought he died of a drug overdose or something. Glad to see him back and all, but it’s just eerie.
10. Omarion – Ice Box (Last Week #12)
Hell yeah! Any day now Omarion and Bi will be gracing us with the ultimate in dance videos. Like Thriller meets Footloose. Dare I say, the greatest video created. Until then, Omarion moves into the Top 10 after only three weeks.
9. Game – Let’s Ride (Last Week #5, Plunge of the Week)
Man, The Game cannot catch a break. This is his second straight video for The Game that peaks at #3. It’s a damn shame, I tells ya. A damn shame.
8. May J feat. VERBAL – Here We Go (Last Week #10)

Mmmmm. The hotness of May J cannot be stopped. If you cannot see why I think this woman is better than Kumi Koda then you are a FOOL. Look at that video and tell me that is not damn hawt. Oh, and she can sing. Beat that, Britney!
7. Yui – Rolling Star (Last Week #8)
Yui moves up a spot this week. I got some of her older Indie songs and they aren’t bad. Actually kind of a Lisa Loeb type vibe for her early stuff. And we all know how I feel about a woman in glasses. If you don’t, cue the PSP squirrels. They will tell you.
6. Bennie K – Joy Trip (Last Week #3, #1 for one week)
Yuki and Cico fall three more spots after taking the top spot from UVERworld a few weeks ago. Here is to hope for a new single and video soon. I needs my fix.
5. Young Jeezy – I Love It (Last Week #7)

Rap in the Top 5?! What the hell, man?! Yeah, Young Jeezy makes an attempt to take down the nets of the Chachi’s Top 20 Countdown as he enters the upper echelon. Does he have what it takes to do what Young Dro and The Game could not? We shall see!
4. John Legend – Heaven (Last Week #2, #1 for two weeks)
John Legend falls two more spots this week which means the Top Three has two first time members! Who are the new members of the Big Three?
3. RBD (Rebelde) – Ser o Parecer (Last Week #6)

Mi Corazon es en fuego! RBD takes their crack at supremacy hitting number three this week! And if Wikipedia is correct they are getting another show! Can this day GET any better. Minus the snow and all, I mean.
2. Rain (Bi) – I’m Coming (Last Week # 4)

Yes. YES IT CAN. Bi moves up to the runner up spot in an attempt to capture his first number one! This video is…how do you say…bad ass? But what video was…badass-ier? Is that a word? Meh, what can you do.
1. Nelly Furtado – Say It Right (Last Week #1, #1 for two weeks)

Now that Nelly has the top spot, how long will it take for her to let go? No one knows, but this video tops my chart for the second straight week. Love the video and LOVE the song.

That is all for this week peeps! Tune in next Friday to see if Nelly can hold on or if someone else can end her reign after two weeks!

I will be back soon with a MAJOR update. And I so mean major!

Live, Laugh, Learn and Love.

And The Nominees Are....Again.

Good morning, peeps! It has been a while AGAIN but I can't stay away for long. It was an eventful first half of the week with the ass-whooping that Florida laid on Ohio State on Monday. I wasnt shocked at the win or the score (I knew if OSU didnt get their shit together that Florida would run circles around them), I just hate Florida. It is a Georgia thing, I guess.

Well peeps, the time has come. I have talked about it and now it is time to DELIVA!! I give to you...

Sigh…I’d Hit That (Women I Wouldn’t Let Meet My Mom, But I’d SO WRECK THAT! After she passes an STD test)

Kumi Koda

Let’s face it; Kumi Koda is kind of a skank. I RARELY say that (hell, unless its Paris Hilton I have never said it) about women but c’mon. You saw what she did to the bottle, peeps. NOT COOL. Even still…with some penicillin…I’d hit that.

Christina Milian

She dated Nick Cannon. His assitude is contagious. Screw catching an STD, I might get N.I.C.K. by getting it one with her. Yet…she is just so nice. And pretty. BUT NICK CANNON! FUCK, THE QUANDRY THIS IS!!

Scarlett Johanssen

Anyone that has sex with Benicio Del Toro (in an ELEVATOR NO LESS if the rumors are true) has lice, crabs and psyphilAIDS Simplex GTO. Even still…she is quite nice. Happy times with Scarlett would be worth three shots a day and a cream, I guess.

Lindsay Lohan

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT!!!! Alright…I know I have said some mean things about Lindsay since our break up (or restraining order, whatever you want to call it) and a lot of them were justified. I mean Wilmer Valderamma? N***a please. Even still, there is always a place in my heart for her after Mean Girls. And if she accepts, there is a place in my cupboard for several pills and creams because if I hit that I would need it.

Lo Pan Badass of the Year (Now no one can compare to Lo Pan in terms of badassitude, but these were the take no shit people of 2006)

Iron Man (Civil War)
I know he thinks he is doing the right thing with the Superhero Registration Act. However, the man cloned Thor, broke Captian America’s jaw and sent the Hulk into space. After years of being a drunkard in a suit Tony Stark is FINALLY becoming a badass.

Stephen Colbert (Colbert Report)
You have seen the show. If you haven’t…you are a moron. This show is awesome and he even picked up a guitar and challenged the Decemberists to a thrash off. Why? Because he is that fucking badass. Oh, and his gravitas is bigger than yours.

Superboy Prime (Infinite Crisis)
No words. Just go the Barnes and Noble or Borders and take a look at Infinite Crisis Issues 3,4,5. I’ll wait. You back? You see how many people this dude killed. ON ACCIDENT? Yeah, lake how he was locked in a box around a red sun, but he will be back. And he finally got rid of that shitty ass Superboy.

Samoa Joe (TNA)
Yeah, no words again. Look at this.

Nuff said.

And there you have it, peeps! Those are the nominees and your votes are recommended! I will have the presentation of The Chachi's on Sunday, January 21st! Tune in to the post!

Until then, stay up peeps! I will be back on Friday with the new Top 20 Countdown because the odds are we will get some snow all weekend. Damn El Nino. Anyway, until then...

Live, Laugh, Learn and Love

Colorado Sucks It Hard.

What is up peeps?! It is snowing in Colorado again (who fucking saw THAT one) so I just shoveled the walk and you know what that means its time for. HOT COCOA!! Oh, and the…

CHACHI’S TOP 20 COUNTDOWN!!

It’s the first Top 20 of 2007 and let’s get this thing started off right!

20. Halcali – Look (New Entry)

For those of you that don’t know (which I will figure is the majority) Halcali is a J-Urban group much in the vein of Bennie K/Heartsdales with a Beastie Boys pre-Tibet vibe. It’s also the opening theme from the new craptastic Powerpuff Girls anime. ‘Tip Taps’ was a catchy little ditty and this song is in the same flow. Also, you can’t beat a rubix cube music video. There aren’t enough of those these days. That and….something about them is hot to me. Yeah, I’m weird.
19. Soul’d Out – Starlight Destiny (Last Week # 16)
Man, Diggy-Mo and company are on the way out. I’m gonna miss this song, as it was a great rolling jam and the video was always on in my cage…er…cubicle. Here is the hope of something new from these guys soon.
18. Koda Kumi – Twinkle (Last Week #20)
Yeah, you know it. I downloaded Kumi Koda’s ode to Thriller/Bad/Usher New Years Thingie in 2004, the Black Cherry Movie. It isn’t bad. Although I have NO IDEA what she is talking about, her body language speaks volumes. It is telling me I’d hit that. I’d need penicillin by the assload, but I’d hit that.
17. Pushim, RHYMESTER, HOME MADE KAZOKU, MABOROSHI, May J – I Say Yeah (Last Week #14)
After a pretty lengthy run without hitting the Top 10, this song falls three spots to begin the year. STILL cannot find May J’s single, but at least Home Made Kazoku has some new work coming out soon. Stay tuned…
16. T.I. feat Young Jeezy, Young Dro, Big Kuntry, & B.G. – Top Back (Remix) [Last Week #18]
Okay, I know I had a rant on thugs yesterday. I don’t care, this song is on point. Little known fact: I own all the Cash Money albums from 1998-2000. Even Young Turk, and he kind of sucks. Bad. Mannie Fresh is still an underrated beat maker, IMHO.
15. John Legend – Save Room (Last Week #12, #1 for five weeks)
Mr. Legend is still hanging around after almost FOUR MONTHS on the Top 20. Now that is…’Legendary’. Ah, the pun is intended. And it sucked, I know. It’s cold as hell outside, sue me.
14. Nas – Hip Hop Is Dead (Last Week #15)
Speaking of legends, Nas moves up a spot this week. My love/hate relationship with Mr. Jones continues as he has taken the high road against Young Jeezy after the radio diss on the Monie Love Show (A dollar if you can name three Monie Love songs!) and for the most part let it slide. Good job, Nasir. Good job.
13. Nelly Furtado – Maneater (Last Week #10)
So I have begun to listen to this song a lot more seeing as how I have nothing to do during the day for a few weeks so I just roam around town jamming to this. Also, the video is quite nice, but I like a lot of stuff more. Besides, she gets what’s coming to her later. NOT THE BOX, ZACH.
12. Omarion – Ice Box (Last Week #19, Biggest Mover)

Okay…alright. I admit it, this video RULES. Omarion has never made a song I like (although ‘Touch’ had its moments) but he is THREE for THREE with this album. Entorage was okay and this video is…well bad ass. And I am reserving the top spot for ‘Man Up’ when he and Bi create what will be the most awesome moment in musical history. Bigger than ‘We Are The World’ and ‘I Wanna Be Rich’ by Calloway COMBINED.
11. Justin Timberlake feat. T.I. – My Love (Last Week # 8)
So J-Tim falls out of the Top Ten for the first time in 2 months. Just waiting for that new video Justin. Annnnnny minute now would be great. Yep, just a waiting. Oh, and WHERE IN THE FUCK IS USHER?! Dammit, I need another ‘Yeah!’
10. May J feat. VERBAL – Here We Go (Last Week #13)
May J in the Top 10! There is a god after all! I tell you that this woman is one more belly baring video from knocking Kumi Koda off of her pedestal. If you watch this video and you don’t immediately fall in love then you are a heartless beast. Her beauty can slay the most heartless of beings. Oh, and dancing doesn’t hurt.
9. UVERworld - Kimi no Suki na Uta (Last Week #6, #1 for four weeks)
From the upswing to the downswing. UVERworld falls three more spots this week after dominating the top spot for a month. Mark it down, peeps: 1/17/2007. UVERworld’s new album is unleashed on the world. The fury will be astounding.
8. Yui – Rolling Star (Last Week #11)

Yui makes a pretty big jump into the Top Ten. This video is rather fab if I say so myself. Yes, a straight man can say ‘fab’ now. I’m taking it. Oh, and why in the fuck is the Bleach manga like 9 arcs in while the anime is like 3. And one of those arcs (The Bount) totally sucked ass? Geez, I’m seeing Bleach swag at Hot Topic to boot. Gonna be a rough year for original Bleach fans.
7. Young Jeezy – I Love It (Last Week #9)
The Snowman is back! Why does it snow every damn Friday? Man, I gotta shovel the driveway, too. Shit. I hate Colorado.
6. RBD (Rebelde) – Ser o Parecer (Last Week #7)
So as I type this I am watching the live version of this song. All I can say is that Mia is all that with the chips in a bag (OLD SKOOL, FOOL! WHAT?!). I cant take it anymore, she must know my feelings. MIA, I LOVE YOU! MI CORAZON ES EN FUEGO!!!
5. Game – Let’s Ride (Last Week #3)
The Game once again makes it to #3 before falling down to earth. He just cannot seem to crack the top two spots after coming hella close. Even still, it was quite the run.
4. Rain (Bi) – I’m Coming (Last Week # 5)
Yeah, what can I say about this video that I haven’t already said? Nothing, that’s what. Only thing I can say is MAN UP! Coming soon to a music video channel near you. At least it better be, dammit.
3. Bennie K – Joy Trip (Last Week #2, #1 for one week)

Bennie K hangs on to a spot in the Top 3 for another week. I haven’t had my Yuki and Cico fix for a while. I need a hit. GIVE ME SOMETHING NEW!! Just teasing me by not being around. What do you want from me?! WHAT?! Now its time for a shocker….
2. John Legend – Heaven (Last Week #1, #1 for one week)

WHAT!! John Legend knocked out of the top after only one week?! Yeah, I’m shocked too. Even still, I like this video (video chicks done right, take note Little X and Hype Williams) and the video IS ON RIGHT NOW! Holy crap, I never see it on music channels! Anyway, we have a new Number One this week, peeps…
1. Nelly Furtado – Say It Right (Last Week #4)

YES! Nelly Furtado FINALLY takes the Top Spot! Much like everyone else in the country, I love this song. Much like Jen, I make up my own words but it doesn’t matter. It’s not about the words, it’s about the feeling. And her FINE ASS in the video. Dare I say, that’s top dollar action right there. Good job, Nelly! You have finally taken the throne!

That’s all for this cold ass Friday, peeps. Tune in next week to see if Nelly can hold on the Top Spot. Or will John Legend pull a Shamrock and take the belt back? Or will Bi become the Prince of the Chachi Countdown? Find out next week! Oh, and the finalized Chachi’s will be up tomorrow! Stay up and stay warm!

Live, Laugh, Learn and Love.

Straight Thuggin!

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH, BOOOOOOYYYYEEEEE!!!!

Okay, that is the last time I steal anything from Flavor Flav. I promise. What is up peeps? I haven’t dropped anything since New Year’s Eve and it’s about time to give you some random anger and rantings. It is a new year, but it’s the same Duece.

First things first. TV officially has stopped sucking. Last night at Nolan’s I watched Knights of Prosperity and In Case Of Emergency. First off, I have to say that Sofia Vergara is in Knights of Prosperity which makes it the greatest show since Good Times. If you don’t know who she is, take a gander at her beauty:

Hells Yes. Colombia has Sofia AND drugs? Sign me up for a tour of love, peeps! Can’t believe she was in Soul Plane. Oh, the TV show. Even better, the show is pretty damn funny. They pretty much rob celebrities (kind of, I don’t see Sally Jessie Raphael as a celebrity but it doesn’t take much these days to be one) Robin Hood style and it covers their plans and misadventures. Pretty funny pilot. Oh, and the black guy is a dead ringer for Bun-B of UGK. I can’t make this up, rap fans know who I mean and when you see him you will say the same thing.

Secondly is In Case Of Emergency. All you need to know is Kelly Hu. That’s it. Single, solo, that’s it, no more, no less. She is in it, and if you have any heart you will watch her:

The cup officially has runneth over. Like I said to Nolan last night; that is wife material right there. Model, martial artist AND actress. Anyway, the show is about a series of AWESOME events (that include a massage parlor, a suicidal exec and a fitness guru that goes nuts and eats his weight in pastries) that end up with the four main characters (Kelly Hawt, David Arquette, Greg Germann, the delightfully funny Johnathan Silverman and the still saucy after all these years Lori Loughlin as the doctor) in the hospital at the end. Trust me, you have to see it to understand. The show looks like it has legs, but as we know when a show is good they cancel it as soon as possible. I think the new night is Friday at 8:30 PM mountain time. Please watch, the hot chick to TV show quotient is getting annoyingly low. That and these are good shows! Brings the total of live action shows I watch to…three.

So has anyone seen the Real World: Denver? I watched two episodes when I got snowed in (mainly because there was nothing on) and all I can say is….Dave Chappelle needs to sue. NOW.



Okay, now did you hear the name of the large black man? Tyrie. Now have you seen the Real World Denver? There is a large black man. Named Tyrie. That scares the white roommates. Named TYRIE. A is swole like an, I dunno former inmate. NAMED TY-FUCKING-RIE!! Of the about 16 million black men in America, MTV had to find a large black man named Tyrie. HAD TO! I have nothing against the guy, if I am not mistaken I went to some of the clubs they were at while I worked in Denver. Or maybe not, I was pretty fucking hammered for 60% of last year. He seems like a cool cat from the…two episodes I’ve seen. Just gets a bad rep because he’s massive and black. It sucks being a big black man. If you say nothing, everyone really is afraid of you. If I kept my mouth shut and mentioned nothing about my affinity for J-pop, anime and 80’s music (Fuck you, I liked Huey Lewis. The News…not so much) people would be afraid of me. I don’t even have a menacing glare or wear thuggish clothes but people really keep away. Until I quote the Venture Brothers or Aqua Teen and people just stay away from me because I am a nerd.

That moves pretty nicely into my next rant…

THUGS

Okay, now anyone that knows me understands that I don’t hate thugs, I hate their actions. Now there is a misconception these days of what a thug is. Some think it is a person, some think it is a lifestyle. Some think it is just fashion. Well, I am here to help all of you who are unaware of what a thug is. The definition of a thug is:

A ruffian, a miscreant, a person who behaves in an aggressive manner towards others.

Not like how Young Jeezy and Lil Scrappy (What happens when he turns thirty? Is he still ‘Lil’?) describe, is it? So to explain, here is a new installment of…

LEARNING WITH MASTER CHIEF CAPTAIN CHACHI!!
Thug Style Edition

First things first, what are my credentials for being able to give a tutorial on thugs? Well:

1. I beat Def Jam Vendetta AND Def Jam: Fight for New York. Twice.
2. I have seen all of the Penitentiary movies.
3. I shot a dude. In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Same thing

And if that isn’t enough cred for you, I used to ghost write for MC Skat Kat. Who is more thug than a rapping cat? I rest my case. Anyway, lets get started with the lesson. First things first:

I Poppa freaks all the honeys. Just kidding, I had to do it.

Okay, to reference above being a thug is not a fashion style or a lifestyle. I used to wear throwback jerseys and hats back in college. Why? Because I liked the teams. Just because you wear a jersey or a hat it doesn’t make you a thug. Just because you wear an oversized white tee (the DUMBEST fashion trend to come about since Pop Swatches, and I had like 5 of them bitches so I know) doesn’t make you a dope dealer. It makes you a dipshit in an oversized shirt and a wad of $100 bills. As a matter of fact, here is a list of traits that are NOT THUG, just bad sense:

Wifebeaters: Yeah…they are undershirts. I don’t give a fuck how many muscles you have or how much women swoon, it looks like a bustier. I have scientifically proven that women don’t know what they want anyway. See Fantasia’s new single, Destiny’s Child ‘Soldier’ and Shareffa’s ‘I Need A Boss’ as evidence. Thugs beat women, any self respecting ‘thug’ punches a woman for breathing because his life is rough and he a soldier for the streets. Or some shit like that, I really don’t speak hip hop.
Chains: Of any color or metal. Yeah, I have a necklace but it is from Bleach. BLEACH! I wear a chain from an anime, not a diamond studded Jesus medallion or a spinning two (for Duece) that plays ‘Girls on Film’ by Duran Duran when I spin it. Which would RULE, but I digress. Long chains don’t say thug, they say bad fashion accessory and that you don’t use power tools.
Sneakers/Boots: Remember when shoes were for walking? Now they are all about the thug lifestyle. I had Lugz boots, mainly because I have Hobbit feet (size 13) and couldn’t get regular people shoes because they end at 12. That didn’t make me thuggish, but that is what people thought. It pissed me off to no end, too. Oh, and the sneaker craze? FUCK G-UNIT. I swear those shoes were ass ugly. Nothing says thug like lime green and white sneakers. Fucksticks.
LED Beltbuckles:



I won’t even waste time on this shit. All I know is if someone steals my idea for LED Grillz I will punt their children. If anyone is going to take money from black men, it is gonna be me! Taking advantage of your own people with shit they don’t need is the black man’s dream. Drugs and spinning rims anyone? Oh, I went there.
Phantoms/Laborghinis: Okay….my guess is that being a thug is about struggle. Nothing says struggle like a $450,000 car. Once you buy are car that is worth more than the house you grew up in, you cannot be a thug. I’m sorry, the struggle is over. Don’t give me that shit about it is a stuggle to be black because I am and I know being black sucks ass. Especially when you have a white sounding name and you get the ‘HOLY SHIT, HE’S A N*****R!’ look when you go in for interviews. That and the credit thing. Which means all these high priced cars are purchased with cash. Speaking of cash…
Exorbitant Spending: I think that word is used out of context. Whatever, thugs can’t read, they are too busy keeping it real. Just kidding, they have to read Biggie lyrics, right? Anyway, like I stated before most ‘thugs’ claim that they are a product of a struggle. In the hip hop community (which I don’t think is a community as much as it is a fucking COMMODITY) having money is they pinnicle of success. That and having Vida Guerra in a video. In thugs defense…

Damn, where do I enroll in Thug College. Oh wait, it’s University of Miami. ZING! So, with all being said I don’t see how throwing money around is considered being ‘thug’ at all. I have never seen a Justin Timberlake video where he is tossing money on a writhing woman who is seeing about 1/100th of that fake money (GASP! Breaking the illusion!) in her wage for the video (a different rant altogether) on a rented Bentley. Yet that is every rap video I have seen since…well…ever? It just gets redundant and annoying.
Violence: This isn’t thug, this is just stupid. Everyone has the right to carry guns. Hell my dad is a member of the NRA and Zach loves his gun more than I love crazy women. And I loves the crazy women, it’s my Achilles Heel if you will. Hell, I am all for gun control and ownership. However, there IS a glorification of violence in hip hop and by ‘thugs’ in general with the whole ‘ride til you die’ philosophy. Odds are, if you are in a situation where your life is in danger, either you enlisted into that role or you are doing something or in a place where that thing is the norm. Violence isn’t an option, it’s a last resort. I love how people (mainly black, sadly) say that they are just following the example that is given by our leaders. What the fuck is this, Nuremberg?! Bush also nearly choked to death on a pretzel. Think about that for a minute.

Now I know what you are thinking. ‘Hey, you listen to rap music all the time!’ ‘T.I. is your pick for artist of the year!’ Yes, I take ownership of that. I do listen to rap music and yes I prefer a lot of rap artists over other music artists including J-pop. However, I just LISTEN to rap music. I rarely spout off any hip hop phrases (I have been saying ‘Smack that’ for the last few days but that was because of my alarm clock) and I don’t even dress in notoriously thug clothing (Sean John, Roca-Wear, etc) anymore. The music is one thing, the emulation is another. Hell, I live in Colorado. Aside from Tecnyc, there IS NO HIP HOP CULTURE here, and that isn’t even THUG culture as I believe there is now a huge schizem between the two. Quite simply, hip hop is they culture and ‘thugs’ are the subset of that. A STUPID subset, to boot. (Update: 50 Cent is release a line of books. He needs to fucking stop. Seriously. G-G-G-G-G-LEARNIN!!)

Well, that is enough for today. I will be back tomorrow for the Chachi Top 20 Countdown and will have the finalized Chachi’s up after some discussion about the final nominees. It’s good to be back, peep. Good to be back.

Live, Laugh, Learn and Love.

I Told You I Would Do It! Now Who's Laughing?!

Happy New Year’s Eve, peeps! I hope you go out and have a blast! I think I am going to head up to Denver (Gotta think fast, the game will be over soon and I so want to beat that traffic) but I may just hang out here downtown or something. Be safe, peeps.

I know I talked about doing a Top 100 songs of 2006. Well, I shall stand and deliver peeps! It took a minute (actually about an hour or so) but it is finished! I bring to you….

Chachi’s Top 100 Videos of 2006 Countdown!!

Yes, I know. It was a daunting task but I finished it! Well, let’s get this party started right at Number 100!

100. Cobra Starship – Snakes On A Plane (Bring It On)

Yeah, I liked ‘Snakes on a Plane’ and this song was at the end of it. That and the beginning of the song has the quote of the year.
99. Three Days Grace – Animal I Have Become
98. Teriyaki Boyz – Tokyo Drift (Fast And Furious)
97. Trey Songz – Gotta Go
96. Sean Paul – Tempurature
95. Talib Kweli – Listen!
94. Jack Johnson – Upside Down
You know, I don’t have anything AGAINST Jack Johnson. My old boss used to like his stuff and this song was good. Too bad it was from the ‘Curious George’ movie…
93. Ken Hirai – Bye My Melody
92. Nas – Hip Hop Is Dead
91. Ayumi Hamasaki – Blue Bird
90. Kumi Koda – Twinkle
89. Dem Franchise Boyz – Lean With It, Rock Wit It
88. HIM – Wings of a Butterfly
87. Hikaru Utada – Keep Tryin’.
86. Staind – Everything Changes
85. Jessica Simpson – A Public Affair

YES! I don’t care what anyone says, this song is AWESOME! The video I could do without because I don’t think she is all that, but even still. Roller boogie is where it is at.
84. Bennie K feat Blaise Planet – Endless Summer
83. Omarion – Ice Box
82. Chamillionare feat. Krazie Bone – Ridin’
81. Christina Milian feat. Young Jeezy – Say I
80. Orange Range – UnRockstar
79. Panic At The Disco – I Write Sins, Not Tragedies
78. Sowelu – Dear Friend
77. Kanye West feat. Paul Wall, GLC and T.I. – Drive Slow (Remix)
76. Young Jeezy – I Love It
75. Pussycat Dolls feat Snoop Dogg – Buttons
74. Soul’d Out – Alive (Holdover from 2005)
73. Daddy Yankee – Rompe
72. Chieko Kawabe - Sakura Kiss (Ouran High School Host Club Opening Theme)
71. Hyori Lee – Get Ya!

Hyori Lee is fine. She needs to eat a sandwich (and is no BoA by any means) but she is still quite nice. Also, this song doesn’t sound like ‘Do Something’ as much as they say. That song SUCKED IT HARD. Oh, and the video was quite nice to boot.
70. Ne-Yo – So Sick
69. Rhianna – Unfaithful
68. Southern All-Stars – Dirty Old Man
67. Bowling For Soup – High School Never Ends
66. Orange Range – Champione
65. Diddy feat Nicole Scherzinger– Come To Me
64. Dixie Chicks – Not Ready To Make Nice
63. Soulhead feat Kumi Koda – X.X.X
62. Lupe Fiasco – Kick Push
61. Saving Jane – Come Down To Me
Okay, this song is special to me because it reminds me of my feelings to a certain person. Odds are if you think its you, that it IS NOT YOU. I kind of like Saving Jane. ‘Girl Next Door’ was rather catchy.
60. Young Dro – Rubber Band Banks
59. Yui – Rolling Star
58. 30 Seconds to Mars – The Kill
57. Cassie – Me And U
56. D-51 – Brand New World
55. Pushim, RHYMESTER, HOME MADE KAZOKU, MABOROSHI, May J – I Say Yeah
54. BoA – Brand New Beat
53. Exile & Kumi Koda – Won’t Be Long
52. May J – Here We Go

Yes. Oh god yes. I have a feeling that 2007 will be May J’s year. Her dancing leaves something to be desired (They ALL can’t be Kumi Koda) but the video was still bad ass. Did I mention she is HAWT? If I didn’t, she is.
51. HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR – Enrai ~Tooku ni aru Akari~
50. Jay – Show Me What You Got
49. James Blunt – Beautiful
48. The Game – Let’s Ride
47. Gnarles Barkley – Crazy
46. Bi (Rain) – Move On
45. Bennie K – Rensou Game/Namie Amuro – CAN’T SLEEP, CAN’T EAT, I’M SICK
44. Younha – Houki Boshi

One of many songs from ‘Bleach’ to make it on this year. She reminds me a lot of Vanessa Carlton, except Korean. That was news to me until I saw how her name was written on her album. As we all know, I am scared of Koreans. Malibu’s Most Wanted joke….eh, fuck it.
43. RBD – Tu Amor
42. Rie Fu – I Wanna Go To A Place…
41. Sakai Kanako – Cheer! (REC Opening Theme)
40. Se7en – I Wanna…
39. Soul’d Out – Starlight Destiny
38. Nelly Furtado – Say It Right
37. JoJo – Too Little, Too Late
36. Bi (Rain) feat. Tabo – I’m Coming

Here is a guarantee: Bi will be the artist of the year next year unless T.I. does something massive. He has an English album coming and has a song with Omarion that WILL (hell yeah, that is a threat) have the greatest video created by man accompanying it. Mark it down, peeps.
35. Beyonce feat. Slimm Thug – Check On It
34. All American Rejects – Move Along
33. RBD – Ser O Parecer
32. Big Boi feat Scar & Sleepy Brown – Morris Brown
31. BoA – Key Of Heart
30. The Game – One Blood (It’s Okay)
29. Ciara feat. Chamillionare – Get Up
28. Justin Timberlake feat. T.I. – My Love (Peaked at #2)
27. Crystal Kay – Kirakuni (Peaked at #2)

This gem slipped under the radar. Crystal Kay reminds me of a less annoying Beyonce. She can dance, has the best voice bar none of her Japanese competition (yes, I know she is mixed) and the video for this song shows her hotness. Hell yes.
26. Nelly Furtado feat. Timbaland– Promiscuous
25. Evanscence – Call Me When You’re Sober (Peaked at #2)
24. Bennie K – Joy Trip (#1 for one week)
23. Young Dro feat. T.I. – Shoulder Lean (Peaked at #2)
22. Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgen – Breaking Free (Peaked at #2)
21. Rascal Flatts – What Hurts The Most (#1 for one week)
20. Nelly Furtado – Maneater (Peaked at #2)
19. Kumi Koda – Juicy (Peaked at #2)
18. John Legend – Heaven (#1 for one week, current #1)
17. Bi (Rain) – Freeway (Peaked at #2)
16. Sleepy Brown feat. Big Boi & Pharrell – Margaritas (#1 for one week)
15. Takacha – Movin! (#1 for one week)
14. Justin Timberlake – SexyBack (#1 for one week)
13. Beat Crusaders – Tonight, Tonight, Tonight (#1 for one week)
12. Halcali – Tip Taps (#1 for two weeks, holdover from 2005)
11. A.I. – What’s Going On (#1 for three weeks)
10. Flow – Re:member (#1 for two weeks)

We have cracked the Top Ten, peeps! Alright, alright. I know I have insulted Naruto a lot over the last 18 months. Even still, Flow kicks ass. This song was what got me back into watching the show, and the video (although I was just able to download it because Bittorent pisses me off) is funny as hell.
9. Daniel Powter – Bad Day (#1 for three weeks)

Alright, I am sure to hear shit for this one. For the month of May, this was my favorite song because it got me through some things. Yes, I was being a little bitch then but this song helped.
8. UVERworld – Shamrock (#1 for three weeks, Non-consecutive)

Don’t have to explain this one. As soon as I heard this song in August it was ON. The video was cool, the song was awesome and you all know I dig The ‘World. This was also the first official #1 song on the countdown in September. Good stuff.
7. Mary J. Blige – Be Without You (#1 for 3 weeks)

So after a LONG distain for MJB, she finally got me over to her side. This song ALSO got me through some shit. The video had Terrance Howard (who was EVERYWHERE in 2005) and the album was actually pretty good. Her best work in my opinion.
6. UVERworld – Kimi no Suki na Uta (#1 for four weeks)

Yeah, UVERworld occupies another slot in the Top Ten of 2006. This song I liked a tad bit better than Shamrock, mainly because I like ballads and violins rule. Also, the video had a Mr. Big feel to it. Heh, when was the last time you heard THAT? Anyway, great video and great year.
5. M-Flo loves Emi Hinouchi and Ryohei – Summer Time Love (#1 for three weeks)

Okay, this comes as a shock to those that don’t know me. However, if you had to share a car with me this summer, like it or not this song was on. LOUD. This is a summertime jam if there ever was one. Therefore, it cracks the Top Five of 2006. M-Flo had a quiet year compared to 2005, but he still laid it down, just look at May J and Bonnie Pink. Good stuff, give it a listen. Oh, and DJ Taku has booty turntables. Priceless.
4. Shakira feat Wyclef – Hips Don’t Lie (#1 for five weeks)

Yeah, this song is on EVERYONE’S year end and mine is no different. This song was okay (until it was played in Hamburger Helper commercials) and the video was…well…lets just say that her hips don’t lie. I likes them a lot. Is niiiice.
3. John Legend – Save Room (#1 for five weeks)

WHAT?! Number three?! Not number one?! Yes, John Legend had a great year and this video was dominant, but there are two songs that had bigger years before this video came out. Even still ‘Save Room’ is may favorite R&B song in a while and his album may have been the best of the year. Now, it is time for the Final Two….
2. UVERworld – Chance (#1 for five weeks)

I remember when I downloaded this song. I heard about it on a video game board that was talking about the Bleach PSP game and I gave it a listen and since then I have been all about it. Then I saw the video and like Z said wanted to put UVERworld stickers on everything.
1. T.I. – What You Know (#1 for eight weeks)

Could it be anyone else? T.I’s King is not only one of the biggest selling albums of the year, this song is one of the best singles. The video was rather by the numbers, but it had Mike Epps so it couldn’t be that bad. I will be the first to say I don’t like rap all that much but this is one of the few albums I bought and felt it was worth the investment. Even still, T.I. had a huge 2006.

Well, that is all for now peeps! I want to thank you for an awesome year on the blog. I want to thank you for reading and hopefully next year I will double the readers! Which means 10 or so. Even still, that is better than none. Have a safe and happy New Year’s Eve! I will try to be back tomorrow and have the finalized Chachi’s up. See, told you I haven’t forgotten about it!

Live, Laugh, Learn and Love. And celebrate!!

Cold Blooded! Ain't No Dictionary Book...

Happy Friday, peeps! I’m snowed in for the most part (I may run out if it clears up a little later) which works out because it is time for…

CHACHI’S TOP 20 COUNTDOWN!

It is the final Top 20 of 2006, everyone. Its been a sweet four months of doing this (I see a spike of like…three viewers every Friday because of it!) and I thank you for your support and input. Let’s get this party started! Can I get a laffy-taffy?! How about no…

20. Koda Kumi – Twinkle [New Entry]

I am officially in love with Ms. Koda again. This song is good J-Poppy fun. Not only that, not one instance of bottle assault. Kind of a downer I will admit. Even still, its good stuff. The English version on her Black Cherry album takes a little getting used to IMHO.
19. Bowling For Soup – High School Never Ends (Last Week #15)
High school may never end, but Bowling For Soup’s run on the Countdown is pretty much over. This is no reflection on the moral of the song. That shit is damn true.
18. T.I. feat Young Jeezy, Young Dro, Big Kuntry, & B.G. – Top Back (Remix) [New Entry)

Yeah, this was bound to happen. After listening to this song it is the most pointless, arrogant song I have ever heard. Yet…I can’t stop listening to it. You can’t beat having Jeezy, Dro and TIP in the same spot at the same time.
17. Omarion – Ice Box (Last Week #19)
Okay, peeps. I hope you are sitting down. I have the greatest news to ever be told. Omarion and Bi made a song together. I will wait while you gather yourselves. Okay, can you believe that?! It will be the greatest song composed by man! Bi is ALSO RELEASING AN ENGLISH ALBUM THIS SPRING (rumored)!! Dare I say, 2007 will be ‘teh awesome’.
16. Soul’d Out – Starlight Destiny (Last Week # 9, Plunge of the Week)
Well, Diggy Mo and crew are falling very quickly. On a good note, they released a greatest hits album (which this song is on). I forgot how many good songs Soul’d Out made, and not just ‘To All Tha Dreamers’. I still like ‘Dream Drive’ to this day. Hopefully they will drop something new on us pretty soon.
15. Nas – Hip Hop Is Dead (Last Week #17)
Nasty Nas moves up two more spots this week. After releasing this he has kept a rather low profile. I haven’t seen him much on TV and I haven’t found his album yet. Keep in mind I haven’t been able to go many places (Mainly because of this fucking blizzard, more on that later).
14. Pushim, RHYMESTER, HOME MADE KAZOKU, MABOROSHI, May J – I Say Yeah (Last Week #13)
So I FINALLY got this single the other day and a lot of the remixes sound a lot better than the original. I am still digging this song, as proven by it hanging on for another week.
13. May J feat. VERBAL – Here We Go (Last Week #16)

Got May J’s discography. All three singles. Yeah, she’s a newcomer for the most part. Also, just found out she is 19 which is great because I could NOT afford another Hinoi Team situation. May J moves up three more spots and is eying the Top 10. Yes, I know I have this video on every week but look at her. It’s for the male demographic. I have Bi on for the female demographic. I’m fair!
12. John Legend – Save Room (Last Week #11, #1 for five weeks)
Man, this song has been on here for a while. All I can say is that it is good stuff. Could John Legend be the Artist of the Year? Maybe…
11. Yui – Rolling Star (Last Week #14)
Yui is doing well for her first entry onto the Countdown, knocking on the door of the Top 10. I need someone to correct me on this if I’m wrong but is Yui an indie artist? I keep on hearing that and it just seems weird to have an indie artist with two themes for one of the biggest animes on Japanese TV. Just curious. We have made it to the final Top 10 of 2006, peeps! We start off with a lady on the downswing…
10. Nelly Furtado – Maneater (Last Week #7)
My future wife (one of seven) falls three spots this week after two months in the top half. I have to say that now that I watch this video all the time, the is quite the lady. She learned how to dance, to boot. I know that means nothing about nothing, but man she can move a little bit.
9. Young Jeezy – I Love It (Last Week #12)

The Snowman Cometh! To go along with this blizzard, Jeezy moves into the Top 10 for the first time! This video is…just like any other rap video but at least it has a good song behind it.
8. Justin Timberlake feat. T.I. – My Love (Last Week # 5)
After not being able to wrestle the top spot away from UVERworld, Justin and T.I. continue their descent down the chart. T.I. has made his return earlier and reports are that Justin is working on a new video soon! Can life get any better?
7. RBD (Rebelde) – Ser o Parecer (Last Week #10)
Yes. Yes it can. RBD makes a three step hop up the countdown and is looking firmly at the Top 5! I just got Rebels (their English album) and much like J-pop, some things should not be translated. Oooh-lee-eht? What the hell man?! Well, at least Mia sounds hawt in ANY language.
6. UVERworld - Kimi no Suki na Uta (Last Week #3, #1 for four weeks)
After dominating the Countdown for the better part of two months, UVERworld is losing their grip, falling a few spots this week. Despite that, the live version of this song kicks ass. Hope to hear something new from these guys soon.
5. Rain (Bi) – I’m Coming (Last Week # 8)

Yes. YES. YES! HELLS YES!! As I told you before, the Bi/Omarion song kicks ass and the video will be a letter and two words: A PARADIGM SHIFT! The dance moves in that video may create a rip in the space time continuum that will cause a rupture in the fabric of existence itself. Oh, and it will kick ass. Oh, this slipped under the radar but Bi has his second Top 5 (Freeway went to #5 earlier this year).
4. Nelly Furtado – Say It Right (Last Week #6)
Ooooohhhhh, my lady love moves up into the fray for #1. Words cannot describe how much I love this song and dig this woman. Can ‘Say It Right’ do what ‘Maneater’ could not and capture the top spot? We’ll see! Now, we enter the Top Three…
3. Game – Let’s Ride (Last Week #4)

The Game moves up a spot for his second trip in the top three. Last time he got held off by John Legend, can The Game take the top for the West Coast? On another note, I hope ‘Doctors Advocate’ doesn’t end up being like ‘The Doggfather’. Does anyone own that album? It was arguably Snoop’s best work and no one owns it.
2. Bennie K – Joy Trip (Last Week #1, #1 for one week)

So after a week at Number One, Yuki and Cico fall a spot to #2. Third time was the charm for the ladies of Bennie K, with Disco Sempai and Resnou Game failing to reach the top. Even still, I like this video. Holy shit, did you know that Cico had an afro?! Man…I’d still hit that. With the previous champs falling from the top, who holds the belt?
1. John Legend – Heaven (Last Week #2, #1 for one week)

John Legend ends the year at #1 and finishes one week behind UVERworld for the most combined weeks at number one (7-6)! When Grammy nods come out, if John Legend doesn’t have at least four I will be pissed the fuck off. It was the best R&B album by far and should be up for album of the year. Seriously, name another album as good as John’s. Well, at least I give him his respect.

That was the last Top 20 of 2006, peeps! Tune in next Friday for the first Top 20 of 2007! Will John Legend hold on for another week? Or will Bennie K take back their throne? Or can The Game finally hold down the top? Look out, Nelly Furtado, Bi and even RBD are making moves as well. I will be back in a bit later after some Densha Otoko watching.

My god…it makes me want to cry. I am such a damn nerd. Well, I will try to be back this weekend. Stay up, peeps.

Live, Laugh Learn and Love.

The Day The Santa Saved Us From Jesus. Or Something Like That...

Merry Christmas, peeps! Hope everyone is enjoying the day with their families. Kind of a chilly day outside, even still it’s the norm for the CSP so get out and enjoy it! I am going to in a bit. First I wanted to talk about a little something that has been pissing me off.

Booty-Shaking

Now don’t get me wrong. I am ALL ABOUT the booty. As anyone that knows me can attest to, my interests in the ‘fairer’ sex goes:

1. Eyes
2. Personality
3. Booty
4. Sanity (This SHOULD be #1 but yeah, all women are crazy so it gets difficult)

See, I’m not that complex a guy. However, women (and Jamaican dudes) need to learn that the booty is a gift. It is a privilege, not a right. To just shake it in wanton fashion is dangerous to not only you but to AMERICA. Ok, not really but it is getting on my nerves. I mean first off, if you don’t have an ass, don’t do the ‘booty shake’ or ‘booty drop’ or whatever the hell it is called. It’s just bad for everyone involved from those watching to the one doing. Take this for example:

Crazy dancing making my penis soft. Secondly, for what reason is that considered dancing?! Since when was shaking your ass like a dog covered in snow or considered dancing? I know you have seen it if you are over the age of 21 or ever watched a music video. I complain about this a lot but now it has gotten out of hand.

When I was at Sing-Sing last Friday, there were middle-aged women doing the booty shake. Now I reiterate, I love the ass and it is your own personal business. That being said, the booty shake is the dumbest….and I MEAN DUMBEST dance ever. What exactly are you showing off, ladies? Are you showing your dance prowess? Congratulations you can move your hips like Paola Rey. For the love of god, kids don’t look that name up. This isn’t a family blog. For the adult males, GOOD STUFF. I’m just saying. All that is is sexual innuendo. Now if that is the vibe you are trying to give off that’s cool. However don’t think that anyone is impressed with your dancing skills if that is the only move you know. BET UnCut has been cancelled so your ass cant get a job in a music video. Except for maybe an Akon video.

Good god, if it wasn’t for T-Pain he would be the king of all ugly. Since when is sexually accosting a chair dancing? WHEN?! Who in the fuck let this happen?! Remember back when Bobby Brown, Oaktown 357 and Janet Jackson actually danced? Even now, Janet is the best DANCER of any female (and to a certain extent male) artist out. Dancing has now become Caligula to a pop beat. Oh, back to the booty shaking issue. I guess my main issue is the fact that people are trying to legitimize this as a movement for women with curves. Well, I am all for curvy women (I hate skinny bitches except Mandy Moore)but I am against stupidity.

Women saying that shaking it like you are trying to break it is empowering is like those that say taking bitch back takes away its power. No, it’s not ‘porch monkey’ peeps. Shaking your ass like they do in the videos isn’t vindication. It’s slutty. What is even worse is that much like thongs, women think that just because they are women that they have the ability (or right) to do the dance. Well, I have the RIGHT to wear a wifebeater shirt as clothing. However, I know it isn’t an article of clothing and I respect my fellow human being (too much in my opinion since they don’t respect their fucking selves) enough to not wear one outside without covering it. Remember, it is an UNDERSHIRT. If you don’t have rhythm or an ass, don’t do the dance. If you have rhythm and an ass, do the dance but don’t expect to see someone look at you as more than an object. Because by doing the dance, you objectify the area and then become faceless. So you are objectifying YOURSELF and if a man stares (or records and posts on YouTube which seems to be the thing as of late) at your ass then it is your own fault and you lose the right to be upset. That peeps is logic. Consider it my Christmas gift to you. Oh, and wearing any kind of writing on your ass draws attention. Do you look at billboards? Use the same logic.

My next rant will be on…

THUGS!

Yeah, they have had it coming for a while. Until then, enjoy your Christmas Day! Even the Jews….


Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, Peeps!

So...You Know Santa Hates Children, Right?

One more day, peeps! One more day until Christmas and needless to say…I’m rather indifferent. Christmas stopped being special to me when I found out that Santa used child labor (Those little dudes ain’t midgets, they are orphans!) so I hope you guys enjoy it. Aside from the eggnog (the best of all the ‘nogs), football and the ‘santa tramp’ dresses (‘Tis the season to fill the cup! One of the few outfits I think is saucy) I just run the same as usual during this season. I’m not a Scrooge, just keeping it stat quo.

So first things first, I believe I have a new restaurant/hangout. As you know, On The Border was AB2’s Peach Pit. That is the hangout from 90210. If you don’t know that, then kiss my ass because 90210 ruled ALL. Anyway, after ‘The Engagement Tattoo Incident’ we came to the conclusion that it wasn’t okay to have that be our ‘Arnolds’ because the waitresses weren’t down with being told opinions if they asked. Be ready to hear the truth, peeps. It’s a fact of fucking life. Get over the IPS and run with it. I don’t CARE if you do yoga. If you aren’t engaged and you ain’t from India, you don’t need a fucking INDIAN ENGAGEMENT TATTOO!!. I love Japan and want to make music, that doesn’t mean I get a tattoo of Kumi Koda or Ai Otsuka on my ass. Which I should, because getting a Meatloaf one doesn’t flatter the region if you get my drift. But I am getting off topic (Like there is EVER one?!)

So it was narrowed down to the On The Border by the Broadmoor (which is FAAAAAAAR) or someplace else. Well, Nick and I found the ‘someplace else’ and it is called Ruby Tuesdays. The ladies at Ruby Tuesday’s are quite the nice AND can take a joke. So from this point on, the crew will be chillin at the RT grubbin on some cheese sticks and sippin’ strawberry-lemonade (Which I had never had, no shittin. That is good drinking!) if you want autographs or a short acapella performance. Hit us up!

Well, the first thing I want to talk about is next summer. Since the present is irritating for me, it makes me feel better to talk about the future. Next summer we have a MULTITUDE of blockbuster movies coming out. Although this year was good (Pirates 2, Clerks 2, Accepted, Snakes on a Plane, X-Men 3 and the list…ends there for the most part) next year makes me want to actually camp out. Spiderman 3, Pirates 3, Fantastic Four 2 (I’m just kidding, keeping the peeps on their toes and all). The movie I am TRULY scared about is Transformers. I have seen the trailers and heard the hype and I am optimistic but fearful. Mainly because every cartoon I have ever loved as a kid has turned to shit on the big screen. Masters of the Universe? SHIT (Although the synthesizer WAS kind of cool, I will admit). GI Joe the movie? COBRA-CRAP-CRAP-CRAP-CRAP-CRAP-CRAP-CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!!! The track record is BAD.

However, I just saw the next trailer and it looks interesting. Mainly because of the “Michael Bay Law of Explosions’ that means anything and everything can and will blow up at a whim. This trailer is in full screen so if you have a slow computer good luck. As you can see, it LOOKS bad ass. So did the first Fantastic Four (Although in defense, Jessica Alba in underwear is worth a watch of ANYTHING. Yes, she and I had a falling out but we are still friends. Friends that hide outside her window crying and writing poetry.) and The Hulk and we saw how those turned out. Or didn’t because we fell asleep. Either way, I am impressed visually. Oh, and check out the My Little Pony at the end, fool! My Little Pony 4 LIFE!! WHAT?!

Well, I hope all of you enjoy your Christmas tomorrow! I will be back on Friday or Saturday since this is the end of the Denver Experiment. I will work on the year end post this week. Until then, stay up peeps!

Live, Laugh, Learn and Love.

Life Is A Boat. Wow, That Is Totally Lame.

Alrighty, peeps. The Chachi is back with an announcement. *Sigh* here is goes. I quit my job last week. I kept it quiet until Monday from my co-workers because…well I will tell the people when I damn well please. Besides, there are some people that can kiss my fucking ass that I could care less whether they found out or could give a rats ass. Hey, I’m a rude guy. Inside joke.

Needless to say, it is time to vent. I have only had 3 real jobs since I graduated from high school (1998) so I have a pretty reliable job history. Even though there have been parts about my job I didn’t like, I was able to grin and bear it because I liked my co-workers (Gateway) or liked what I did (HP). At my last job…holy shit was it annoying. First off was the drive. I never blame anyone else for that because it was my own decision. That was all me, and I take ownership for the cost of repairs of my car and the $180 a month to take a bus to Denver five days a week. Albeit the wheel fell off the bus (literally, the funniest shit I have ever seen and I watched Pootie Tang) it was not ALL that bad.

However, four hours (on a GOOD DAY) in transit a day is overbearing. I was tired by the time I got to work (got on the bus at 5:30 AM, got in at about 7:30 AM) and was tired at work because it was work. And BOY WAS IT ANNOYING. I understand that there is standard corporate lines you have to pull but come on. Respect my mind. I just have to do what you as, not buy into it. If you sell shit and you treat people like shit, they will act accordingly. They will rail into you like Burlington-Santa Fe because you are the face of all the bullshit they have had to incur from their local company. I am not going to put on a face for the company, I am going to be real and say ‘Yes, we fucked you up the ass with a cactus for two years. This is how I am going to fix it.’ It got annoying to say ‘tough shit’ all the time just because the company was full of fucktards that felt as long as we can take from them we will until they find out. Once they do, we will play stupid. Yeah, I am dead serious.

Anyway, that is water under the bridge. The biggest issue I have is the drinking. As many of you know (or like five people because I only have six friends and Jen doesn’t have the internet OR A COMUPTER because she fears the future or something. Just kidding, she’s my homie) I began to party HARD while working in D-Town. I found out after the fact probably a little too hard. As someone who only drank occasionally (like twice a year IF THAT until November of 2005) it was a total shock to drink as much as I did over the timeframe of May until August. It was literally every Friday and the occasional weekday that I would wake up on Rick’s couch (or floor) wondering ‘Why in the hell did I have that tenth drink?’ or ‘Why in the hell was I dancing? I hate dancing!’ Now that I have stopped the heavy liquor lifting (I had a few at the Christmas party at Sing-Sing, to which I say FUCK AXL ROSE!) since my birthday I feel a lot better about myself and it let me reflect on my current situation. I figured it was best for me to do what I always tell people to do:

‘Chalk it up as a loss and charge it to the game’ E-40

Yes, I quoted E-40 the man is A GENIUS! So I cut my losses and am going for something else. I learned a lot while working at this job, although very fucking little about WORK itself. I learned a lot about myself. Oh, and as you can tell I learned a lot about the opposite sex and their insanity because my rants every time were about women. Now A LOT of that was alcohol. That is a given because my BAC during those months was probably the same as rum. Still, there was a lot of learning in those inebriated posts. I’m to lazy to transfer them over to MySpace, so if you are reading on there just go to my Blogger page and check out June, July and August. A lot of what I said was mean-spirited but none of it was wrong. I realized I am going to be lonely for a LOOOOONG time because I am not willing to compromise my views just to get the yak. If you don’t know what that means….I don’t know what to do with you. Anyway, I want to thank all of you for the memories. The good and the crappy. Oh, and I will never have another mojito. Trust me, peeps. It is a GOOD THING I say that.

Well, I will try to be up on Christmas. If not, Happy Holidays everybody! Even the Irish. Yes, THE IRISH. I’m in a giving mood, its Christmas and all.

Live, Laugh, Learn and Love.

Ladies First!

Morning, peeps! It is Friday which means it is the end of this crappy ass work week! You know what else happens today? The…

Chachi Top 20 Video Countdown!

First, lets start with Bubbling Under! This video came out on Tuesday so I couldn’t in good faith put it ahead of anything on the Countdown. YET. Okay, I bash rap a lot and I DESPISE the bragging about money (Mainly because I am broke. I will explain later) but man…this song is bangin. I hate myself, too. But hey, it is T.I. so it can’t be all that bad.

T.I. feat Young Jeezy, Young Dro, Big Kuntry and B.G. – Top Back (Remix)


Yeah, I don’t know why but that song is on re-fucking-peat. Next we have Flow. Now if you watch Naruto (I mean the fansubbed version, I’m not sure how far Cartoon Network has gotten and don’t care because the English voices kind of annoy the shit out of me) you know about Flow. They made the 3rd (I think, may have been fourth) opening GO!! [Fighting Dreamers] which was cool. Then they did the 8th (Hell, may have been 20th for all I know) opening Re:member which if it wasn’t for the Big Four (UVERworld, John Legend, Nelly Furtado and T.I.) it would be the song of the year because it KICKS FUCKING ASS! They have a new (Kind of) single for Colors. Having picked up the Greatest Singles album, I am impressed with their body of work. Check out their latest, it’s the intro from Code Geass, which I cannot find.

Flow – Colors

See, I even hit up the subtitled version for the peeps. It’s the season of giving, fools! WHAT?! Let’s get to the Countdown!

We start this week how we ended last week; a hip hop icon….

20. Jay Z – Give Me What You Got (Last Week # 17)
Well J-Hov is on his way out of the Top 20. It has been an interesting ride, with a quick rise and an even quicker fall. This was one of those videos that kind of lost its luster the more I saw it.
19. Omarion – Ice Box (New Entry)

Okay, I know I have said a lot of mean things about Omarion since…well college. Even still, I like this video. YES, I know he thinks he is Michael Jackson. YES, I know he is not better dancer than Usher, J Tim or Bi. However, this beat is rather crazy and I digs it. Therefore, it makes a debut this week.
18. JoJo – Too Little, Too Late (Last Week #14)
So the jailbait is finally leaving the countdown. Although I still like this song (and her new video is kind of crappy) I like my freedom a lot more. And if my infatuation with Hayden taught me anything, it is that just like Fabolous, there is no sitting on minors. Never again will I quote Fabolous. I promise.
17. Nas – Hip Hop Is Dead (Last Week #17)
So Nasty Nas takes a three step hop up the countdown. I have heard some of the tracks off his new album and they aren’t bad. Nowhere near Illmatic (Although I think I am one of the few people that’s didn’t think it was the best hip hop album ever) but it was a good listen. This is also Nas’s best video by far. Mainly because after Hate Me Now and whatever in the fuck ‘Thief’s Theme’ was about anything would be good.
16. May J feat. VERBAL – Here We Go (Last Week #18)

Hells yeah. So I found another video from May J called ‘Baby Eyes’. Although it is old, she is hot so it doesn’t matter. This video has grown on me and grown on some of the co-workers that have seen it. And she is legal! Can this day get any better?!
15. Bowling For Soup – High School Never Ends (Last Week #10, Plunge of the Week)
WHAT?! Yeah, I am shocked too, but it’s a case of other stuff I like better right now. That and I think they have a new single out.
14. Yui – Rolling Star (Last Week #16)
So on a note completely unrelated, Bleach is so kicking ass right now. Anyone know what is up with the new intro? Is that from the movie? If so it looks pretty damn sweet. Anyway, Yui moves up two spaces this week. Yeah, call me crazy but I would hit that.
13. Pushim, RHYMESTER, HOME MADE KAZOKU, MABOROSHI, May J – I Say Yeah (Last Week #12)
So the J-Hip Hop party falls a little bit this week. Luckily I still get my May J fix from her own video. Even still, it only falls one spot this week.
12. Young Jeezy – I Love It (Last Week #15)

Young Jeezy continues to move up the Top 20. Oh, and I just saw T.I.’s ‘Top Back’ remix with Young Jeezy and everyone else from Atlanta with a pulse. And B.G. but I thought the Gizzle was dead. Anyway, expect to see that song on here real soon, but until then Jeezy holds down the chart.
11. John Legend – Save Room (Last Week #9, #1 for five weeks)
For the first time in almost three months, John Legend is out of the Top 10. It was an awesome run (even better than UVERworld’s which is a feat in itself) and as usual John Legend makes his videos not look like everyone else’s.
10. RBD (Rebelde) – Ser o Parecer (Last Week #13)

THE ENGLISH ALBUM IS IN STORES NOW! That is all. Get it our you will be forsaken! Oh man…I think I just filled the cup.
9. Soul’d Out – Starlight Destiny (Last Week # 7)
Soul’d Out falls two more spots this week. I am patiently waiting for a new video from Diggy Mo and crew, but until then this one will have to do. Just got back to listening to ‘Alive’ and it has grown on my. I initially didn’t like that song.
8. Rain (Bi) – I’m Coming (Last Week # 11, Biggest Mover)
So Bi has his THIRD Top Ten video in 4 months. That is quite the feat if I say so myself. My standards are pretty high. Have you seen a K-Fed video on here? Hell no and you never will. Check out Bi’s album ‘Rains World’. It is actually pretty good once you get past the language barrier.
7. Nelly Furtado – Maneater (Last Week #6)
The first half of a double play! Maneater falls another spot this week and I must say…think video makes me feel good. In THAT way. Too bad Nelly is so skinny or I would so wreck that chick. Eh, I still would. Who am I kidding.
6. Nelly Furtado – Say It Right (Last Week #8)

Just a stones throw from the Top 5 again, it is my new favorite song. This video is actually rather basic, although I cant even FIND IT! I keep on getting her live performance which is actually a lot better. My god, I love her eyes. Just…striking. Is that a word that fits? Yeah, I can dig it.
5. Justin Timberlake feat. T.I. – My Love (Last Week # 3)
NOOOOO!! J-Tim falls another two places this week! T.I. will be back with the ‘Top Back’ remix, but Justin has nothing on the horizon! Man, he is ending the year on a down note. Anyway, he still hangs in there.
4. Game – Let’s Ride (Last Week #7)
Once again, The Game hits the Top Five. This song was cool up until mother nature got surprise sexed or something because it has been too cold to have the windows down and bump this for about three weeks now. Even still, I have the video on rotation at work. Now it is time for the Top Three! We start off with a shocker…
3. UVERworld - Kimi no Suki na Uta (Last Week #1, #1 for four weeks)

UVERworld’s reign is over! After four weeks they fall short of topping John Legend’s record of five weeks at the top. Even still, it was a hell of a run and is still the song on my MySpace page. Well, we have a new number one this week! Who takes the runner up position?
2. John Legend – Heaven (Last Week #4)

One step short, peeps. John Legend moves up two spots to take the silver medal for the week. It is nice to see more people down with John Legend because this song and video are very good. Not only that, it isn’t R.Kelly. Anything without R.Kelly is cool with me. So with John Legend coming up short, who has taken the Number One spot?
1. Bennie K – Joy Trip (Last Week #2, #1 for one week)

After a long trip (Heh, because it is called Joy Trip…I thought it was funny), Bennie K finally rests at Number One! This video, just like the song, has grown on me to the point that it is the most played video on my laptop. Not only that, this is the first non-John Legend/UVERworld song at #1 in more than two months. Congrats to the saucy ladies of Bennie K for topping the chart this week!

That is all for this cold ass week, peeps! Will Bennie K hold on to Number One for the final Top 20 of 2006? Or will John Legend get his second crown? Or will The Game finally capture the flag? Tune in next Friday, peeps! I will be back later before I finish up my Christmas shopping.

Live, Laugh Learn and Love.

A Little Learnin' Goes A Long Way!

What’s up, peeps! It is time for a mid-day update! Why? Because I FUCKING CAN, that’s why! Yeah, you know it. So today is the first week of the rest of my life and I must say that I am kind of excited. Seeing as how life is too short to be doing what you aren’t comfortable with it is nice to be able to….holy shit, May J is hot. Sorry, I just can’t think when she comes on.

Anyway, what was I babbling about? Doesn’t matter. I learned something today. People are stupid. REAL stupid. Now I have done my share of dumb things and I can admit that. However, it seems that most people nowadays are more fucktard-ish than they used to be. Is that a word? Eh, it is now. People no matter what the race have become utter and complete morons lately. What makes me so bitter, especially today? Well I just heard someone call for their daughter. And her name was Cristal. Not CRYSTAL. CRISTAL. Like the fucking alcohol. I had heard that as a name for a stripper, but never as a name for a child. A real child, not one of those adopted kids like Angelina Jolie has. American kids, the ones that matter. Needless to say, I was confused and angry at the same time. So I have decided to help out the lesser knowledgeable peeps. So here is a new installment to the Passion of Chachi….

SOME TO GROW ON!!

With this I will give some info that SHOULD be common sense but obviously is NOT if I have to post about it. Some of it may be redundant to those that are readers (all five of you) but repetition is key.

1. DO NOT Name Your Kids After Liquor or Groceries.
This SHOULD be common sense. After today’s incident it obviously is NOT. So if when you have a child and you are thinking about naming the kid Alize or Dijon please just set the child down and walk the fuck away. Seriously, how do you expect for that child to ever get taken seriously by anyone not working at Scores or for G-Unit Records? I am not saying to name your child Winthrop or Janice (To show I don’t mean to name your kids white sounding names to get ahead) but seriously. IT IS A FUCKING MUSTARD! YOUR CHILD IS NAMED AFTER A CONDIMENT! These are a list of names to NOT GIVE YOUR KIDS:

Lysterine (I have seen it. I can’t make this up)
Dijon (It is mustard. Not Exotic. Deal with it)
Cristal (Or Alize or Hennessy or Crown Royal or any other alcohol. It is just fucking ignorant)
Any letter or word preceeding ‘Ron’ or ‘Von’. De’Ron, Kel’Ron, De’Von, She’Von are not names unless you are from fucking Krypton. And your ass ain’t from Krypton.
Names From The Bible. No specific reason. I am just getting tired of seeing Ezikiel and Jebediah every-fucking-where. You don’t see people naming their kids Buddha or Tao, do you?

Esquire or The Third. I am a junior and I think that shit is pretentious as hell. Refering to yourself with an ‘Esquire’ or ‘III’ is grounds for getting your ass whooped. It is just arrogant as far as I am concerned. And I am one man so if you don’t like it piss off.
Colors or Fruit. Colors are what they say they are: colors. Naming your child Blue or Apple (Gweneth Paltrow I am looking at your simple ass) is just dumb. Celebrity child or not, that kid is in for a world of hurt. Or at least drug addiction.

2. DON’T ENDORSE DOUBLE STANDARDS!
This is especially sent out to women. Men are guilty of this mindfuck, too. I will get into that later though. It seems that the rant I had in college about women not understanding that until they stop supporting degrading songs they will keep on coming in droves has fallen on deaf ears. Anyone heard our little African friend Akon lately? First off, a Lamborghini Gallardo is WASTED in America. WASTED! Secondly, when in the HELL did it okay for a guy to say they want to bend you over and ‘smack that’ all on the floor. I am going to humor this song and figure he is talking about an ass (rather than let’s say a woman’s FACE) for a minute. Is that okay just because he is rich? Is that all it takes to be able to slap a woman’s ass for no other reason in public? If a man just slapped an ass for no reason he would be thrown out. But this song comes out and every chicks inner-Jasmine Byrne comes out and they go all Backdoor Sluts 9. I would figure that slapping an ass would be great, but instead I just think it is kind of…offensive? I dunno, that act has been kind of odd to me. It reminds me more of disciple than sexy.

Oh, and the whole DANCING LIKE A STRIPPER THING?! Ladies, leave it to the strippers. You will talk shit about strippers for dancing for money, yet most women dance the SAME way and only get maybe a few free drinks, a night full of regret and maybe a crab or two. The way that women look down on strippers (and porn stars is another rant altogether) for what they do when 65%-70% of women DO THE SAME THING FOR NO CURRENCY is hypocritical and priceless. I never make fun of the dude that will act gay to hang out with females (because that dude was me by accident a few years ago because everyone thought I was gay for wearing shoes that matched my belt) so why do women have nothing positive to say about a stripper? It is just funny.

Well, that is enough for now. No update tomorrow due to me taking part in the United States judicial system. I will try to be back on Wednesday or Thursday before the Countdown. If not, I will see you Friday, peeps!

Live, Laugh, Learn and Love.

It Ain't All Bad

What's up, peeps? Just got back in from getting a few gifts (I am low on funds until Friday) for Christmas and all I can say is it is fucking cold outside. There is no need for this. Al Gore needs to be locked in a frat house doused in Axe Body Spray.

Well, it is a week before Christmas and I am so not excited. This year has SUCKED ASS for the most part. Even still, it hasnt been my worst year (2002 sucked a hell of a lot more) so I can't trip that much. I have a lot more friends now. I also have more people that I wish would get beat with a bat, mainly female to boot. Eh, thems the facts of life.

So I did something that was a long time coming last week, and that really let off a lot of stress for me. It gets to the point where you have to do things to save you sanity and I made an according decision. In the end, it is for the better because someone was about to get their ass whooped if I hadnt done what I did. I had become that pissed off with the situation. I will go more into detail later on, but those that know the Chachi know what is going down.

On a completely unrelated note, Koda Kumi has a new album out, Black Cherry. I am about two songs into it and it isnt bad. I also got Flow's Golden Coast and that kicks ass. Even though they are kind of known for doing the Naruto openings (GO!! and Re:member) they have some other great songs (and I mean GREAT) and it is up there with John Legend and Nelly Furtado as my favorite albums of the year.

I will try to have a rant at some point this week, probably about jury duty seeing as I have it this week. Aaahhh, the joys of being an American. Stay up peeps.

Live, Laugh, Learn and Love.
