If the world ends today, FUCK NICK CANNON!

Morning, peeps! Well it is another awesome Tuesday for the Chachi and I must say it is better than most. Usually I am ready to threaten violence on someone but something is different today. I dunno, just not as mad as usual. Almost…copasetic if you will. Something big is gonna happen. I’m talking bear attack big, I just know it.

So I would like to comment on the Blog’s traffic as of late. I told you all a few weeks ago that my counter was jacked up after changing my background like seven times in two days and I guess the code was missing some strings and wouldn’t link to the counter. Long story short, I had no idea who was coming here. Odds are it was no one because…well this thing sucks. I mean blogs are usually lame in general and mine is no different. So I decided to put a new counter on my blog (StatCounter, fool! What!) and I was shocked to see something. Since Tuesday, I have had 104 visitors as of last night. That’s like 20 people a day! I’m bigger than…nothing but I still feel good about myself. It means people are interested in my rants, although for the most part they wont get them. Even still, it is good to have more peeps on the site. A big thanks to the regular readers (All four of you! You keep me updating, you and my crappy life anyway) and a howdy to the new readers. It’s great to have you. Pull up a chair, grab a nice cup of coffee and be utterly and completely confused and offended by the journey that is The Passion of Chachi.

Okay, back to what this blog is all about: Randomness. So long time readers know that I haven’t talked much about Bleach as of late. There is a good reason for that, it has begun to really get bad. This new Bountu arc is kind of stupid and is moving way too slow. Not slow in a good way like the Soul Society build-up, more like slow in the DBZ way where they would just stand around and grunt and scream for 17 minutes an episode and fight for 2 minutes. That is why DBZ will always be teh suck no matter what those nerds say. Bleach better pick it up fast, especially with Blood+ kicking ass and Prince of Tennis next on my watch list. Hopefully with more Soul Society coming to Earth it will pick up.

Let’s see, what else is going on in the world of Chachi? Oh, so Promiscuous may be the greatest song ever written. First off, Nelly Furtado is looking damn good and Timbaland actually didn’t use the same beat again. Combine that with a legit conversation between two consenting adults (and Justin Timberlake in the video! Can it get any better?) and it’s like a bar scene musical. And there aren’t enough musicals out there. Aside from High School Musical (which only really had two good songs and yes I watched it. It’s not BAD, either) and The Producers (HELL YEAH!) the musical scene has been rather lacking. It’s kind of a downer because singing and dancing at random is what makes America (and India) the greatest country in the world. Hell, if song and dance broke out at random like in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off the world would be a better place! Imagine Palestinians and Israelis dancing in the street to ‘A Night To Remember’ by Shalamar or ‘Rhythm of the Night’ by El Debarge. Musicals are the route to world peace, peeps.

And where in the HELL is St Elsewhere by Gnarls Barkley?! I have been unable to find that album for a week, yet it came out on the 9th of May! And where is Lupe Fiasco?! Kick Push is my jam!

Geez, now that I can actually STAND hip hop again, I can't even find the CD's I want. Sad. Oh, and Common's new album is supposed to be out 8/1/2006. You know who else has a new album that day? Bennie-fricking-K! It's actually another EP (The Bennie K Show 2) but hey, anything with Yuki and Cico is enough to make me giddy like a schoolgirl. August 1st will be the greatest day in the history of the damn world! Even better than the day that Britney Spears fell on stage:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! That is damn funny.

Oh yeah, happy 6-6-6 Day! If I hear another person talk about today is the end of the world I will smack the shit out of them. Seriously. If Hell was really gonna run amok on Earth, it would have done so on a day alot more hellish than this. Like when Get Rich Or Die Tryin was released. The world isn't going to end today, so quit your bitching. If the world didn't end with the release of Paris Hilton's new single it's not gonna end today. If it does, I owe you readers a Pepsi. If it DOESN'T, I get anal. I'm dead serious no matter how bad it gets you will clean my room exactly how I want it.

Well, the Chachi is out for the day. I may be back this evening to comment on the end of the world. Or to say 'na-na-na-na-na-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha'. Until then, LING LING INTO BATTLE GO!

Chachi out.

Monday, June 05, 2006

Yeah, it's a filler day.

What is up, peeps? I was going to update the blog this morning, but I was...you know...working. Putting a kink in my style, man. Anyway, this Monday didn't suck so bad. Unlike most Monday's which usually are like walking into a hungry bear's den, today was okay. Things are coming up Milhouse.

Today's update is gonna be short, but I do want to comment on something real quick. As many of you know, I am not an uber-patriot. I will say it once, I will say it again: I don't hate America, I just can't stand AMERICANS. With that being said, I think we need a new Axis of Evil. Well, I am not a fan of that name because that sybolizes some threat to the world. Quite simply, Iraq wasn't a threat and had no weapons they were just first on the list. Sad that we HAD a list that didnt include China or Canada (those bastards are plotting) but that is neither here nor there. So now, brought to you by the good people of The Passion of Chachi, I give you the new threats to free thinking, oil guzzling, border defending countries everywhere. I give you the

NEW Legion of Dumb!

Leader: Kim Jong Il (North Korea)

Sidekick/Comic Relief: Hugo Chavez (Venezuela)

Whiny Dude: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (Iran)

Also, you can toss in Ali Khamenei as the old man that always talks about the time he almost beat the good guys and how villians now a days don't respect their elders or the golden age of villainy. Hell, even have Saddam Hussein as the wacky buddy who got tossed in jail. I'm telling you, this could be a kick ass reality show. Put all these guys up in a house and have their lives taped. All they would have to do is bitch about the Evil Empire for 24 minutes. Comedic gold, especially listening to Hugo talk crazy about how the US is trying to kill him. Have a confessional with Mahmoud talking about how America doesn't call him anymore. And Kim Jong Il...just needs to stand there because he is fucking funny looking. I mean just a show looking at his face in different situations with the Benny Hill Theme playing in the background is ratings gold. The Legion of Dumb, Thursday nights only on FOX! Because they will play ANYTHING.

So The Omen...I may just go and see it. I dont know WHY, but this is the closest I am going to get to the complete opposite of Passion of Christ. Unless you count The Hebrew Hammer, which RULED ALL but just isnt the same as a movie about the spawn of Satan. So peeps, if you decide you want to see this movie, I won't be pissed at you. Even though it has Julia Stiles not in eyeshot of a black man. That's gonna be a new one for me.

Well, I am hella tired. I'm about to head out for a bit and then hit the hay. I will have an update tomorrow, hopefully better than this. After the massive updates this weekend I have earned a little filler. I won't let it happen too often. Until tomorrow, KORRIKI FOOLS! WHAT!

You know I am THIS close to saying screw it and going to Nan Desu Kan as Korikki. It would scare the kids, but it would be worth it.

Chachi out.

Sunday, June 04, 2006

Oh boy! A double header!!

Alrighty, peeps. I would like to get to the second half of Chachi's Top 20 Ladies, but first I must get something off my chest. I forgot to rant about this yesterday and this morning (mainly because I was fricking tired) but meter maids can officially lick my taint. I am sick and tired of getting parking tickets at the most asinine times. The first one I got was last year when I went to Rumbay (ooohhhh, the fucking fun!) at 9:45pm and I received a ticket. AT 9:45 PM! How in the hell does that happen? It was a 25 dollar ticket at a time I had no idea they gave them! Then yesterday at lunch I got one in the middle of the afternoon (around 12:30). ON A SATURDAY. First off, why would you charge to park in a second-rate (hell, third rate) city on a weekend? Dicks. To make it even worse, I got there at about 11:45 and there was 40 minutes in the meter. I was shocked someone paid on a weekend and left it at that. That means the officer WAITED by my car until the meter ran out. Catch rapist or a terrorist, asshat. Just fucking stupid.

Anyway, back to the Top 20. We have entered the Top 10, which means that I think all these women are beautiful. Now you will notice some omissions. Here are some that are not (and will not) ever be on any list of mine:

Eva Longoria
Angelina Jolie
Charlize Theron
Jennifer Lopez (P. Diddy AND Ben Affleck? Aw, hell naw!)
Anyone else that Maxim, AskMen or FHM had in their Top 100

Why? Because being attractive and being beautiful (IMHO) are two different things. Being attractive is one thing, usually visual. Some people have an attractive personality or attitude, but being attractive is a singe trait. To me, being beautiful is a combination of several traits that make up a perfect person. Like I have stated before, I have never met any of these women so I don't know them enough to judge their character or say 'that's wife material' (except #1. I'd marry that woman HELLA QUICK). With that being said I do believe, from what I have seen from them in all points that they are great people (and not too shabby, either) and deserve my respect. And to be stack ranked like the BCS Rankings. Anyway, back to the countdown. We start at number ten with a no-brainer.

#10 Halle Berry

Now this is the biggest AH DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHH moment in the history of the world. It doesn't matter where she is at on this little post, she is the ultimate. Even when she played a crack head in Jungle Fever, she was still beautiful. I also think her performance in Losing Isiah was a VERY underrated performance, and sure as HELL better than Monster's Ball. If was a fucking shame Halle had to show her jubblies and Denzel had to just show the hell out to get Oscars. Disturbing. Even still, she made Gothika worth watching. GOTHIKA. She was even sexy in Catwoman (which I have seen 8 minutes. The worst 8 minutes of my life), and we know how hard that would be. All in all, this is a given because I don't care what anyone says, Halle is just an all-round beauty and SEEMS to be a nice person. I mean who HASNT committed a hit and run? Oh, and she had the sense to leave Eric Benet. I will NEVER understand that brainfart. Anyway, she's awesome. Next is someone I debated for a while putting above Halle. Next we have...

# 9 Jessica Biel

You know, Jessica Biel has always been very attractive in my eyes. Even more so than some of the other actresses in her era (Jessica Alba, Scarlett Johanssen, Kirsten Dunst, etc), but what I really dig about her is...you guessed it. Her eyes are stunning. Not as deep as Nelly Furtado but still, they are just great. Secondly, she is suprisingly funny. Not Tina Fey funny but quick on her toes. That to me is hella sexy. A woman that can ad lib or come up with a joke/comeback at the drop of a dime makes for great conversation. I have always said that you can have an intelligent conversation with a significant other, you are in some deep trouble. She seems like a good talker and I likes that. Like I said, I am a weird dude. Combine that with...well she is hot, and you have a very beautiful lady that I would like to take for a nice walk and maybe to a coffee shop. Yeah, I'm a geek. Now, time for the shocker.

#8 Jackie Guerrido

You know what. I just want you to watch this:

I will be the first to tell you: I like that boo-twah. Jackie Guerrido has a BOOOOOO-TWAAAH. I don't believe in objectifying women (although, in its purist form, isn't ranking them objectifying them? The more you know...) but C'MON! Jackie is damn fine! To top it off, she speaks SPANISH, the language of 'hell yeah'! Every evening is a good evening when Jackie is giving the weather. Man, this is getting intense. Next we have...

#6 Mandy Moore

Okay, this is where the names get either unfamiliar or receive a 'bwaaaaah?' Let me first say this. Mandy Moore has a gorgeous smile. Just goddamn perfect. It is weird because I am not a fan of the Barbie doll, 'pop tart' (not my words) look but she pulls it off. I have only heard a few of her songs (I will admit, I like Crush and I Want To Be With You from Center Stage, which didn't completely suck it hard) but I am SO a fan of her acting. If you have not seen Saved! or American Dreamz, you are missing out on to of the best comedic performances in a long time, especially Saved! which sticks it to Christians. We all know how much I love to see that. What is really cool is that she is naturally funny (you can tell when she does Mad TV, which isn't funny at ALL) and seems to be a genuinely nice person. Just so nice you want to wrap her up and give her to yourself like Master Shake did with the mail order bride. Quite simply, Mandy Moore is just wonderful. Sigh, I'm all a flutter.

Time for a commercial break!

CROSS-FIY-AAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!! Yeah!

Well, back to our show.

#5 Vida Guerra

Okay, you knew she was coming it was just a matter of when. There is nothing to explain. NOTHING. It's Vida. I have a real issue with her being reportedly as dumb as a brick, but that has yet to be verified. If it is true, that moves her down A LOT because she already has Chalice tattoo and enhanced jubblies and those are usually no no's for me (especially having a tattoo near your hoo-hah. That is ground zero). However, in true Duece fashion, she has a boo-twah. Frr the Duece that trumps a lot of stuff. For the Chachi, that means jack shit if she is a fucking mouth-breather. Either way, she is up here and she stays for now. Besides....look at that. Just...YES. Okay, I have a LOT of explaining to do with this one.

#4 BoA

Okay, first off she is 19 years old so leave those thoughts at the door. Second off, she is the only person other than Sowelu that makes me say kawaii without wanting to beat myself a la Silas in The Da Vinci Code. the weird think is much like Sowelu, I heard her voice before I saw her and I only saw her by accident. Anime fans know of the theme for Serial Experiments Lain (which I have still yet to see after the first 12 minutes of the first episode. I gotta get on that) Duvet was recorded by a group named Boa:

That song kicks ass. Anyway, I began looking for 'Boa' on LimeWire and ended up with BoA (Kwon) songs. They sounded nothing like the group but they had a pop feel to it and that was back during my anti-rap phase so I stuck with it. Then I actually saw her and yes I thought she was beautiful. She could sing, dance and speak four languages (Korean, Japanese, English and Chinese dialects). Dude, that is a geeks DREAM right there. Then I found La La Love Song with Soul'd Out and it was fricking over. It was full fledged smittenness (not a word, I know). I am honestly indifferent with the way people think about her (Griff, I am looking at you) she is beautiful and talented. Oh, and she can WORK a skirt.

Giggidy giggidy, giggidy goo. She is awesome. Down to three, peeps!

#3 Bennie K (Cico & Yuki)

Aw, hells yeah! Cico and Yuki make me want to become a Mormon! Not really, but these two ladies are teh awesome. Talented, beautiful and most importantly humble. After reading the translation of the Bennie K Show DVD, they are really down to earth about being (arguably) the biggest group in Japan right now. I'm talking bigger than Funkytown, peeps. FUNKYTOWN. That's real big. Yuki has a great voice (check out the live PV's posted from YouTube and her voice is just as impeccable on stage as it is on CD and Cico's rapping (not really GREAT, but still better than the majority of female rappers out now) meshes well to create a wonderful mix. Also add in the fact that they are very attractive young ladies (Especially Yuki. My god) and you have...well my Oasis. Yuki and Cico share number 3 and they share my heart. Wow, that is fucking cheesy. Eh, who cares. That's Bennie-frickin-K.

And then, there were two. And this is gonna be a shocker. Here we go, peeps.

#2 Shakira

WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT!! Before you flip out, I love Shakira. I love her voice and her music as a whole. She is a beautiful woman and she is FRICKING COLOMBIAN. You couldn't beat that if you wanted to. Even more than that, Shakira is an artist and she is bloody great songwriter to boot. Especially Estoy Aqui, one of my favorite songs of all time. And yet, there is something else about her...I can't quite put my finger on it...

Wow, that puts a stamp on it. Well, we are down to #1. Who is it? Well, here is Chachi's Most Beautiful Lady!

#1 Kate Winslet

Okay, why does Kate Winslet top Shakira? Well, first off she made Titanic watchable. That in itself shows that she is a team player because that movie was BAAAAAAAAAA-AD. Also, she looks so...real. Kate Winslet looks like a real woman, whether made up for a movie or in paparazzi photos. Just a natural looking beauty that really radiates. Also, she has a killer voice:

Congratulations, Kate. That concludes the Top 20. I'll do more random stuff every now and again when I have time. Oh, look at the bottom of the screen. I have some UVERworld and BoA for streaming. Take a listen, they kick the ass. Today's posts were pretty long, so I may not post tomorrow. Or I may. You gotta stay tuned! Must See Chachi, peeps. Until then, stay up peeps.

Chachi out.

Update: Do Americans butcher Japanese songs just to piss me off? I used to love Ike Ike. Until they translated into English.

Magic night, mini skirt, pretty girl?! What the fuck, man?! How dare you butcher a Para Para classic, you asshats! Man. Some things just need to be left alone.

Oh, and Nick Cannon is endorsing Boost Mobile. I guess the prophecy was right, I do have to eliminate him. THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!!

Get Ready, This One Is A Doozy.

What is up, peeps? Good morning to all! Finally got over four hours of sleep in one day...I got four and A HALF! I'm a regular damn Rip Van Winkle. I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend, I know I wasn't for a while. But things are all good and I hope the blog will show it.

First off, to my two readers in Japan: Konichiwa! To my one reader in Austrailia: Goodday, mate! To my one reader in the Netherlands...um...hey, whats up? To everyone else, thanks for visiting. This blog is for the people, and you keep me doing it. It sucked balls to be doing this and have no one reading. I was in a hella groove in late-Feb and March. Feel free to take a look, especially at the Confederate Flag, female leads in cinema and Common Sense (probably my favorite) rants. And let's not forget Douchbrawl 2006! I want to thank everyone for voting for that, btw.

So I am boycotting Sprite again. It was bad enough that they took it upon themselves to use that racist ass Thirst doll (much like the PSP squirrels, just a really fucking ignorant campaign) which made me want to go Michael Douglas in Falling Down on the whole Coca Cola Corp. Now they have these stupid ass Apex Twin/Tool creepy video feel commercials that make no sense. As a captive audience in the theater yesterday (btw, The Break Up was not AS BAD as the critics made it out to be) I stat through one of these mindrape commercials and I must say that I will NEVER buy a Sprite again. You know, I can honestly say that very rarely has a commercial ever swayed me TO buy anything, but they quite often sway me to NOT buy something. I think that is how people are; as long as your product is good and you don't do something completely asinine in a commercial to piss off the consumer, they will buy your product. Advertisers need to take note on that little gem of advice.

With that said, I think I'm gonna start the Top 20 today! What can I say, I'm a giver. Okay, for the readers that look at this instead of working (and you know who you are) I will try to keep the pictures as clean as possible. No need for a Diversity issue because people can't accept a beautiful woman. Also, a disclaimer:

This is in no way shape or form meant to degrade, objectify or belittle women. This is just a list of women that I find attractive and I am putting them up here in an order that is actually rather open. Aside from the #1, they are all winners in my book. Some of these women you may have heard of, some (well, the majority) you may not. I find them to be beautiful, talented and all around nice people. Which is why Jessica Alba ain't on here. Get caught ONE time trying to mail yourself to her and she gets all wigged out. Geez. Let's get started at #20:

#20 Aishwarya Rai

Not gonna lie, I STILL know very little about her. The only body of work I know her from is Bride and Prejudice, and Jane Austen SUCKS. That's right I said it. The movie itself was rather 'bleh' but her acting was okay. I won't lie, I had no idea what the rest of her looked like for about two years (a friend of mine in college had her face as his wallpaper and I didnt know her name) because those eyes...wow. I love eyes. Beautiful eyes can trump out the fact you keyed my car because you were totally drunk and couldnt stand up to put the key in the door. Ooohh, did I say that out loud? Anyway, she is a very stunning woman and has maybe the more striking eyes I have ever see. Nope, someone else on here does. You gotta stay tuned! Next up, at #19 is...

#19 Tina Fey

Alright, I am sick of explaining this one. There is very little on this planet that is sexier than a socially concious and funny woman. A sense of humor, whether it be generic or topical is very appealing to me. I mean if you are a funny lady, you have my heart unless you do something like LITERALLY rip out my liver and eat it. Even still, if you make a good joke out of it it could still work. I think that Tina is very funny and has a presence of beauty that is different from a lot of other women in comedy. I won't lie to you, I thought she was damn fine in Mean Girls. I will stand by that and strike you down with my anger and love for her if you disagree. Next on the list is someone that you know of if you read the blog. A great singer and an all-round great lady.

#18 Sowelu

For the non-readers, Sowelu is a Japanese singer that has done many of my favorite songs (I Will and Dear Friend for starters). For starters, and the first thing I noticed was her voice. Not seeing her untill late 2004, I fell in love with that voice hella quick back when I was downloading Full Metal Alchemist (where I first heard I Will) when I finally saw the PV for it, all I could say was WOW. I will tell you something. CHECK OUT THAT SMILE.

I would fight a bear covered in honey for that woman. That smile is just so...warm and inviting. Not sexually, you assholes. Like genuinely kind and inviting. Just damn sexy. Combine that with her eyes and the fact she is like 5'2" in heels (KAWAII!! Shit, now I have to kill myself) and she is damn near perfect. I have heard (and poorly translated) interviews and she just sounds like such a sweetheart. Man, I'm getting misty eyed. Talk amoungst yourselves....here is number 17....

#17 Adriana Lima

Um....yeah. Watch this. Not safe for work at all. It will melt your computer.

Nuff Said. Next!

#16 Winona Ryder

Okay, this came out of left field. Very few people know that I have a soft spot in my heart for Winona. Ever since Edward Scissorhands and Mermaids (yes, I watched Mermaids and I loved it. Fuck you if you can't adjust) I have been like 'Wooooooooooow' about the former Miss Depp. She kind of has an elf thing going, which i guess appeals to the geek in me. Also, the whole shoplifting thing was awesome. Just like women and their dumbass 'bad boy complex' I have a bad girl complex. I will be the first to admit, she needs a damn tan. Aside from that, she is beautiful in my eyes. Next is no suprise to anyone, except maybe the position.

#15 Natalie Portman

Mmmmm....Padme. I love Natalie Portman. I don't know what it is, I cannot explain it. Something about her makes me smile, just like kittens do. Yet, as you read yesterday, she is dating (supposedly) Jake Gylldenhall. And I just cannot deal with that. That cost her about 10 spots, literally. Sometimes I can be hella petty. Next!

#14 Nelly Furtado

YES. The most beautiful eyes on the PLANET (aside Cillian Murphy. Yes, CILLIAN MURPHY. Creepy eyes but my GOD if I was a chick I would SO HIT THAT) belong to this woman. I remember the day I heard I'm Like Bird and hating it. I mean really just couldn't stand it. After a while (and a certain woman playing it every FUCKING DAY FIVE TIMES A DAY) the song grew on me and I bought the album from the campus store. All I could say was WOW. Just RADIANT. Yep, I am a walking thesaurus when it comes to eye descriptions, I love them. Anyway, ever since I have been a fan of the music and a fan of her period. She has a natural (and like Jessica Alba, racially ambigous) look to her that is just awesome. And FTW, her voice is awesome. Next on the list...

#13 Scarlett Johansen

Okay, this is where the list gets weird. You see, I find Scarlett very attractive (WELL DUUUUUUUUUUUUUH!) but at the same time, I have heard reports that she is an utter and complete bitch, which is a BIG NO NO for me. However, I have heard reports that she is a totally kick-ass chick so I am not sure on which way to go with that one. All of that aside, you saw the Golden Globes. The girl is damn fine. The whole raspy voice thing works in her favor, too. Only bad thing about her is she is blonde (I fucking can't stand blondes, ask my why and I will tell you with a few drinks in me) and she is kind of a mouth-breather. Think Napolean Dynamite. Even still, she is hella hot and on here. Tsugi!

#12 Christina Milian

Okay, I have learned from experience that you can't hold the past against a woman. It's not fair to her and it's not fair to yourself because you could be missing out on a good thing because of your prejudices. Now, with that being said.....

NICK CANNON HIT DAT!!

I'm sorry, I know I don't like to hold the past of a woman against them. But Nick Cannon? Man, FUCK NICK CANNON! That nigga ain't even funny! *Sigh* Even still, discounting that Christina is actually a very smart young lady (she told reportedly Ja Rule and 50 Cent to fuck off so she isnt a complete nitwit) and if interviews are any indication (and anyone who has done an interview knows that they could be utter and complete bullshit) she is actually very funny and down to earth. Now that phrase is tossed around a lot. Here is how I define it: not being Paris Hilton. Get it? Got It? Good. Next!

#11 Kumi Koda

Okay, I figured she would be higher too. Anyone that reads this knows that Kumi Koda and I need to be together like PB&J. That woman is on POINT. This is probably the ONLY time (and it bugs me to say it) that I can say that even if she had NO redeeming qualities whatsoever I would still date this woman. She could sell puppies to the black market and I would still want to be with this woman. She is that damn fine. I honestly can say that no other woman on the planet has that effect on me. Hell, LOOK AT HER!

Hell, listen to her! Check out Meaning Of Peace and Love. That song rules. Anyway, we have made the Top Ten, peeps! I will be the first to admit. What you see may shock and suprise you. Keep in mind that these are MY OWN PERSONAL OPINIONS. These are women that I find special in their own way. I am going to give the peeps a break because this post has been hellishly long. So get some juice, run around outside and enjoy the day. I will be back with the rest of the Top 20 either this evening or tomorrow night. Stay tuned! Until then, stay up peeps!

Chachi out.

Saturday, June 03, 2006

You Get What You Give

Morning, peeps. Another early update today, mainly because it's Saturday and I am going out this afternoon/evening to blow off some steam. So I am going to hit you guys off early today because the fact of the matter is I will probably be in NO condition to give an update when I get home.

Today I am going to try something new. I am going to play teacher today. Yes, Chachi is also a teacher. Besides, I don't want to go back to this blog being 'Chachi's Pity Party' and this is my release. As soon as I get out, they drag me back in...so with that being said:

I give you the very first installment of...

Learnin' Wit' Master Chief Captain Chachi!

Go to hell, Zach I don't care if it IS two different branches of the military that name RULES. Yes, today we are going to learn. Wait, don't go! There will be J-Pop and poop jokes later, I promise! Okay? Sweet. Today's lesson is about the Self-Fulfilling Prophecy. Now what does that mean you ask? That is a great question peeps. You see, the Self Fulfilling Prophecy basically runs like this. The self-fulfilling prophecy in its most basic form, is a false definition of the situation bringing on a new behavior which makes the original false idea of reality become actual 'truth'. In normal English it means when a person convinces themselves that a situation actually has a certain meaning, regardless of whether it actually does or not, they will take very real actions in consequence. Quite simply, if you convince yourself that in a situation something will happen, whether it is going to or not, you may (will) do steps to make that come true.

Why do I mention this? Because there are several people out there (hell, I have done this a few times) who say that the same thing happens to them no matter what they do. However in observation, they take steps and RESPOND to the situation the same way each time that leads to the result they expect. Therefore, it fulfills the preconceived notion that they had about how the situations they are in always end. That peeps is the self-fulfilling prophecy. Where did that come from, peeps? Let's just say that I have seen this crap in action and I believe that sometimes I believe that getting that Communications degree wasnt a COMPLETE waste. So now you know about the Self-Fulfilling Prophecy. Your homework: find someone that falls into this category and let Master Chief Captain Chachi know. Class dismissed. I CALL THE SWING!

You know what, where in the hell is the next Bennie K album?! They have three months before I get Jennifer Love Hewitt on their ass. Yeah, I used to write her a lot of letters when I was overseas. Like one a day. For about five months. After Kids Inc. got CANCELLED. How in the hell was I supposed to know, we got shows like six months late. Anyway, I have to stay about 100 feet away from her at all times and it still hurts me. I wonder how long the statute of limitations is on a restraining order against a nine year old. Anyway, in a perfect transition (NOT), here is a live performance of Sunrise by Bennie K. I am sure I have had this on here several times but I don't care. I love them and they WILL love me. Wow, she's right I am possessive. Anyway, check it out:

You know, this has officially topped Funkytown as my favorite song. EVER. I never thought I would say that but this song is just FUCKING AWESOME. Yuki and Cico...just yummy. They will be on the Top 20 for SURE. So, I am really digging Drive Slow with Paul Wall, Kanye, GLC and T.I. on the remix. It is a rolling groove, especially late at night (yeah, 2:48am was when I walked in the fricking door last night. I am REALLY beginning to hate this crap) because it's got that chopped and screwed feel, but not brain-fuckingly annoying like usual. Check it out:

Great track. So....you remember 'I'm The Juggernaught, Bitch!' from about two months ago? Well, the team is back with a spoof on the Power Rangers and all I can say is...it is actually KINDA funny. Pointlessly vulgar (just as the first one) but the background music was pretty funny. Chevy's Ridin High by Cool & Dre when the MegaZord was formed actually worked for me and the DragonZord theme was priceless. Check it out for yourself if you have eight minutes of your life you really aren't gonna miss. Luckily I multi-task very well. JOSE CONSECO!!!

Yeah, I think that is a good way to end this post. I may be up tomorrow to drop something for the peeps, if not I will be back no later than Tuesday. I'm gonna check out Nelly Furtado. Man, she is FINE. Oh, and I fucking hate Warner Brothers. Always have, always will. Ignorance, it's timeless and ageless. Stay up peeps.

Chachi out.

Yeah, You Know It

Good morning peeps. First off, good morning to all. Hope you had a good nights sleep. I sure as hell didn’t, I had a dream that I was in the movie ‘Snakes on a Plane’. No shit, it was horrible. Even worse, my doppelganger is in there and we had a battle over a detonator. I can’t make this up peeps. Needless to say, it sucked the big one.

So, why such an early update? I will tell you why: gays settling down. If you don’t know my stance I will let you know: marriage is no longer a religious union in the eyes of god. It is now a parody (Britney Spears, I am looking at your ‘Pimp and Ho’ debacle) that as far as I am concerned can happen between a bear and a howler monkey. I believe that if two people are in love enough to say that they will stay together forever then hey, more power to them. People who say that marriage is between a man and a woman are just splitting hairs because marriage is no more sacred than a cell phone contract. Fuck the phrasing, as long as two people are willing to make the union they should be able to do so. Quite simply, any two people should be able to get married, male or female.

So with that being said, what is the big deal? I am really not a fan of people picking and choosing words from the holy books to prove points, but discount all the others (have you ever met someone that follows EVERY WORD of the bible or Koran? The answer is no because they say some WEIRD SHIT). If your issue with gays getting married is them being gay then the problem is with you. Let’s get this straight right now: gays are people like everyone else. People who discriminate on gays (sans Clay Aiken because he has transcended gay into a realm of his own existence) are stupid and not really a righteous person because loving all people is supposed to be the right thing to do. Therefore, quit being a hypocrite about loving all people, because you need to add a long fucking list of who isn’t included in your lovefest. Lastly, why is the GOVERNMENT (albeit State) passing legislation on a RELIGIOUS UNION?! Just like science, I want my government and religion as far away from each other as possible.

Oh, and in another news update….Anna Nicole Smith is pregnant. Um…yeah I got nothing. Just the thought of Britney and Anna Nicole living in nine wide trailer parks next to each other fighting over K-Fed on Cops is all I can imagine. And I don’t think I am ready for that vision right now. You know, I RARELY say people shouldn’t be allowed to have children because they are unfit, but Britney nearly DROPPED her kid (Jacko style) while Anna Nicole is just…let’s say I say an episode of the show. Yeah. This is not gonna be good.

Well, that is all for now. I will try to be back tomorrow or maybe tonight, depending on what happens this evening. Stay up peeps.

AND CHACHI IS FOR GAYS SETTLING DOWN!!

Chachi’s (Coming) Out!

Just joking, I like boobies.

Roll With The New

I back, fools! Welcome to any new readers (all....two of you) to the Passion of Chachi. Not really much to it. I am gonna be honest, I would start from about February and read until now. That is when I was unemployed and PISSED off at life. There was some good stuff on the blog back then. Unlike now where its just pining about women and bitter rants about stuff I already ranted about. Don't worry, it will get better because the Chachi is back and he is here for the people.

That being laid out, it has been a while since I have mentioned the saucy ladies I used to have on the blog almost everyday. You know, back when Vida Guerra ended each post? Yeah, I'm gonna start doing that again. I know I have a large male demographic so I guess I gotta follow the peeps. So starting next week, I am going to do Chachi's Top 20 Sauciest Ladies much like Maxim does the Hot 100 but with no trollops on Chachi's countdown. Yeah, it will include some you may have seen, some you may know and some you may not. I will be open to suggestions for ladies that have been (Jackie Guerrido, Esther Baxter, Boa Kwon, Kumi Koda, Vida Guerra, etc.) on here and those that have not. There are a few ground rules, though:

No Requests for Jessica Alba. We are through and the split was amiable. I don't want to mess that shit up with a restraining order placed against me a la Alyssa Milano. I'm still hurt by that one, I thought we had something special, girl.
No Suggesting Women You Know I Can't Stand. For every person that says I should add Paris Hilton or Lindsay Lohan I will punt a kitten. I am dead fucking serious. Kittens will be placed through uprights if you do that.
Only Real Women. Now I debated this after the whole Advent Children fiasco with the aerodynamic Tifa and the undead (but still HOT) Aeris, but I can't go for that. No CGI women, that shit is just creepy.

And that's it. Everything else is wide open. I will probably start the middle of next week (Wednesday, maybe Tuesday depending on what they dump on me at the work front), doing about three or four a day until the final two. Until then, I am open to suggestions and votes. Let the games begin!

Okay, so it has been a while since I mentioned Orange Range on the blog. Mainly because their remix album Squeezed sucked it HARD. I mean really hard, I flat out didn't like it and felt like I wasted thirteen bucks. Well, they seem to have redeemed themselves with the song Champione. I downloaded it yesterday from Jpopsuki (couldn't find it on Yesasia) and I must say, it is pretty damn kick ass. If you aren't into the J-Pop/J-Rock thing this song ain't for you and this video sure as HELL ain't for you. I dig this song, and I don't have to find them and beat them with sticks because of the Squeezed fiasco. Check it out:

Yeah, it's a tad quirky. The song grows on you...if you dig that kind of thing. I am figuring a lot of you DON'T dig that kind of thing but it's my fucking blog. Speaking of kick ass, it seems that UVERworld has given me another reason to live. My god, I don't care who you are if you like rock, these guys do it. I had hyped these guys up for about a month (before the blog became Chachi's pity party) and I PROMISE to get some streaming music from their album Timeless up before the end of next week. I lost the code for the streaming media player but I will get right on it. Right after this kick ass video. I think this is the new theme for Blood+ (which I am getting caught up on. Anime fans, this show is teh awesome so give it a whirl. Can't find any new episodes and I don't know if the DVD's are out yet) to boot. Here is Colors of the Heart by UVERworld:

Shit yes, that song is the mad notes. If Linkin Park is looking for an opening act for their next tour, here you go. Thank me later. Oh, and Filelodge is pissing me off. I can't log in and change songs. I have to find a new host for the tunes. Just fucking great. You know what I found on my iPod at work? An old school jam that takes me back to the 5th grade. Man, the carefree days of youth, before the real world crush your spirit and reality puts your hopes and dreams in a paper bag, only to stomp on it. That and kickball, fools! While I reminisce, here is some Hi-Five your your groovin pleasure with I Like The Way (Kissing Game):

Man, that song was the jam. Too bad they never hit big after that. Although She's Playing Hard To Get was pretty good. That was the first song I heard when I came back to the states after 4 years overseas so it is rather special. Well, I am about to hop off the computer for a bit. Gotta get ready for tomorrow and stuff. Before I go, I gotta kick it old school one more time. And you can't get much more old school than this. Without going before I was born, anyway. I should heed this advice more often. My friends always keep telling me to Cool It Now:

Yeah, that's enough of that. Stay up peeps and enjoy the night.

Chachi out.

The Ruler IS BACK!

Morning, peeps! Sorry about yesterday and not having anything up when I got home. Teq had his last show at Union Station last night so I went to show some support. Sad part was that I had to be to work like thirty fucking minutes after I arrived but what can you do? Just go with the flow.

Secondly, it has been brought to my attention the the Passion of Chachi has taken a…darker turn. I have looked over the last eight or nine posts and I can see it. I have been a downer and a punk ass bitch. I am one pack of eyeliner and a teddy bear away from being some emo kid whining in his closet about how he father doesn’t love him and how some bitch broke his heart, writing poetry about how life is meaningless without love and that its not worth living in hopes of putting those chalice-ass words into a song and beinig the next Panic at the Disco! or My Chemical Romance. To that I say HELLS NO. I take your advice and I will use it, peeps. No more of the ‘woe-is-me’ Chachi. Back is the ‘break my foot off in your ass for breathing funny’ Chachi. What time is it? Party time!

Hells yeah, Luck Dragons RULE. So, to get back to the old format of the blog, a news update. Um…pedophiles are idiots. WHAT IN THE FUCK DO YOU NEED TO BE NEXT TO CHILDREN FOR? Research? I mean damn, they don’t let OJ near Spring Break or R. Kelly around…well playgrounds. See, this is like I was saying yesterday. Common sense is dead, man. The fact that they even have the THOUGHT to sue to be near a park is just stupid beyond STUPID. I mean c’mon. C’mon.

So last night at Teq's show I realized something: we as black people are out of ideas. After several years of kick ass dances (Roger Rabbit and the Running Man, anyone) and bad ass fashion, what are we left with as our 'style'? The 'lean wit it' and 'white tees'. WHITE TEES? I can buy a white tee at Wal-Mart! Anyone can be fashionable now! What is worse is that if the fashion isn't lame, it's just fricking bad. Remember my rant on the LED belts? Well I have a new idea, and I am sure someone has either thought of it, is workiing on it, or will steal it by the end of this blog: LED Grillz. Think about it. That would be the biggest thing since LED Rims or Spinning Grillz. Um...I may have started something I can't control. Lord, please let this just be a rant and not reality. Jail really isn't my gig because if these ideas come to fruition because if they do I am TOTALLY gonna mess someone up.

Well, I am about to head to work. I say the nay no to that, but stay up till this evening. I will try to upload the Teq performance on YouTube and give another rant tonight. TRY to, I'm hella tired running on 2 hours of sleep. But hey, it's for the people.

Chachi out.

Man, it had to be said....

Alright, peeps. Time for another update. I told ya’ll I would be back a lot quicker now. I’ve had a few days to look at the aftermath of the experience that was X-Men 3 – The Last Stand. I must say, I enjoyed the movie experience. It was nowhere NEAR as good as the second one, but it was better than the first and a lot better than the work Marvel has been putting out not named Spiderman. That being said, every gripe you have heard about the movie is dead on. It is short, borders on campy and just kind of jumps into it. With that being said, it is STILL a good movie and a pretty exciting blockbuster. I still think Superman Returns will be better by leaps and bounds, but that is just me.

Next, I believe it is time for a rant. Now I am sure that you are thinking: ‘Duece, what the hell else could you rant about?’ Hell, I have ranted about Jesus and the handicapped. What else is there, you ask? I am going to go back to an old staple. As you all know, I have come to the decision that common sense is dead. In all walks of life, at all levels, the thought of accountability has been replaced by passing blame and just all around asshattedness. Yes, that is a word I just made it up. Yet, something just hit me today. What if having common sense…doesn’t make sense?

Follow me here, peeps I am going somewhere with this. When I was in college, a female friend of mine and I were discussing political and social views (Yes, I am sad when that is what I want to talk about with a woman. Fucking sue me, I’m lame) and the discussion got on the fact of tuition assistance. I am a black male (yeah, like you didn’t know ) and I could not get grants because:

My grades were too high in high school (Why in the fuck did I try to learn if being stupid gets you into college?!)
My parents made a little too much (Being military, I was a dependent so that is partly my own fault. But my parents were the damn Hiltons, they had bills like everyone else)

She said ‘That doesn’t make any sense!’ Then she said, and I will never forget this; ‘I don’t understand why I went to school, got good grades, didn’t get knocked up and followed all the laws and yet I have to pay full tuition costs while some b***h with two kids by 18 gets grants out the ass so she can just drop out after 2 semesters. Just stupid.’ Now it may have been the alcohol thinking, but I was in love right then and there because she finally saw what I had been thinking for about 3 years. It's easier to be stupid.

Now before you get all up in a tizzy…I don’t care. I am right on this. Laws should be made to protect the innocent, not save the stupid. You have laws for seatbelts and helmets and other common sense things. I am not big on survival of the fittest as much as I used to be (money throws one hell of a kink into that chain of logic) but at some point, people need to learn the consequences of what they do. Think about it: I know my views piss people off (The 3 people that read this thing anyway. Lost a reader yesterday) and yet I know my bounds. There are a few places that I don’t go because I know that:

With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility.

Sounds hokey, but I have used it before because it is a true statement. Who said comic books couldn't be deep? Whether it be the power of words, the internet or money you must know the routes you can go before you are abusing power. The greatest power humans have is free will because it is the most volatile power out there. Free will has changed the course of history more than anything (IMHO) else, and if you can’t use common sense in its most BASIC form (like not peeing on minors), how can you even begin to comprehend rational thought. I’m just saying. Long story short, we should NOT coddle stupid behavior. My original point (Yeah, I got sidetracked by a shiny object) was that common sense is not worth having because it is easier to be a dipshit. While that might be true, it is not the RIGHT THING TO DO. Ignorance spreads faster than intelligence. Remember that peeps. In closing, ACT LIKE YOU GOT SOME GODDAMN SENSE PEOPLE!! I'M THROUGH PLAYING AROUND WITH YA'LL!

Well, that is all for now. Break time and all. Just had to get that out. I will TRY to get something up when I get home. Till then, stay up peeps.

Chachi out.

I Keeps It Real, Fool! Real Dumb.

First things first: I officially apologize to the Marvel fanboys that read this blog. 120 MILLION DOLLARS IN FOUR DAYS?! Holy shit, I had no idea people loved the X-Men so much. I honestly liked the movie and I have to send a personal apology to Brett Ratner. I will send your kitten back ASAP. What can I say, I know when I am wrong and I was hella wrong about it sucking it hard.

With that being said, I want to return to the Da Vinci Code for a minute. As you all know, I loved that movie seeing as how the ‘albino monk bitch-slapping a nun’ ration was the highest ever. With that being said, I think I have a new word to bring to the masses. No longer will I use the derogatory words to describe the female gullyhole (Except yak. That word still rules all). From this point on, the word for vagina is:

Chalice

Yep, you got that right. I am putting that in the daily vernacular of the Duece. Gimmie that chalice, girl! See, it flows like H2O already. You know, I should charge for being this damn awesome. Yet, I do it all for the peeps. I’m up to six readers now! So whoever you are in Spokane, welcome to the Chachi Show! Hope you enjoy your stay, we have complementary punch and pie for each meeting.

Now real quickly before people begin to ask me what in the hell I am doing. I am going to become a rapper. They always say know your enemy, and no one has been at war with rap more than I over the last three years. Might as well join them. I am working on songs (I actually wrote half of one on the FREX this morning. It’s like Jennifer Lopez, rapping takes no skill at all!) and I am tentatively naming the album…(you ready, Griff)...CON-PHUNK-TATION!

Hell yes, I am bringing it back like Big Wheels! Man, I ain't said that word since the 12 grade. Aaahhh, good stuff. So far I am working on a song called ‘(No Cure For) The Boogaloo Flu and I tell you it is TIGHT BANGING. Now I just need a beat and someone to sing the hook and I am in business! Well, I may be back to drop some videos and rant about the Chalice this evening (see, I go full circle on these things) but if not, stay up peeps.

Chachi Out.

Sometimes you gotta charge it to the game...

Morning peeps. Fuck, am I tired. The sucky thing about being up early to go to work is that when you don't have to go in you STILL wake up early. I slept about 2 hours on Friday night (with no hangover) and 2 more on Saturday night (with no hangover) and drove to the airport and got lost on East Colfax while trying to get off I-70. By the way, black people don't scare me but I can see how they can scare people who aren't used to seeing the scowling. Do niggas have to mean mug ALL THE FUCKING TIME? I mean seriously, life ain't all ballwhacks and eye pokes so quit acting like it. Smile sometime, it takes fewer muscles to smile than to frown. So turn that frown upside down and think of rainbows and gumdrops. Holla at 'cha boy.

So a friend of mine truly hates James Blunt. It seems that the English happen to agree with him. You know, I do like You're Beautiful but I luckily listen to an MP3 deck so I can listen to him when I want to instead of 3 times an hour which I am sure they do on the radio. You know, if American radio stations had the balls to do this kind of thing against 50 Cent, Nelly or T.I. (and I love that dude to death but I really don't 'know about that' and I really don't FUCKING CARE!) I might still love hip hop. Nah, with people like Rick Ross keeping the ignorance flowing like Cristal, rap will continue to SUCK IT HARD. I mean seriously, is rapping even hard anymore? I used to say it was easy to rap but hard to be GOOD at it. It seems that so few people even try anymore than if you can make words rhyme that aren't the same WORD you are the next Rakim. How can you rhyme 'hard' with 'hard' and expect to be any good? How about 'tard' because that is what you are. Congrats, Rick Ross. You are officially the newest rapper on the 'Sucks It Hard' list. Hell, I may have to go in reverse and create a list of rappers that DON'T suck because that will be a hell of a lot easier. The list of crappy rappers is longer than the list of rappers that have banged Karrine Steffans. Hell, even Ray J hit that and I don't know what the hell he does.

Oh, back to James Blunt. Um...yeah he's tolerable. I can see how he can be annoying to some because his voice is special. But I am going to divulge something to you, peeps. As you know, the last two weeks has been rather teh suck and I have been having a rough time. So I went out and bought two albums to get over it: T.I.'s King and Daniel Powter's album. And you know what? The both KICK ASS. I already downloaded T.I.'s album and knew what it was all about. I said it was lackluster but it was the advance copy and half the songs werent mastered or were shelved altogether. The official release is rather good. I hated 'Why You Wanna' when I first heard it but it grows on you after about five times. You don't know how many times I wanted to tell a girl that she was with a sucka emcee and needed to drop the zero and get with a hero. Peeps, whoever can name the movie that line is from gets a Chic-Fil-A sandwich. Anyway, check out some T.I.

T.I.ger Woods, ya'll. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Screw you, that shit is funny. Anyway, back to Daniel Powter. I bought T.I. because I was pissed off about a situation and needed some anger management music. After I was able to release that anger (Saturday afternoon/evening) I had my own pity party where I pined like a punk bitch for half a day. I had been listening to Bad Day by Daniel Powter earlier in the week but I never really LISTENED to it. After listening to it and the album on the way back to the Springs from D-Town Saturday night (at like 2am, great stuff) I realized that song wrapped up all my issues and problems in a small little package and let me throw it out the window on I-25. I think I hit a deer with my sorrow. Better my baggage than a semi, I guess. The rest of the album ain't too shabby either (kind of a Rob Thomas meets Nickelback feel to it) and it really changed my mood. I don't think I have ever had this song up before. I'm sure you have heard it (radio loves this kind of song) so here it is in video form. Bad Day by Daniel Powter:

I know there are some people out there that hate this song. I can understand why, it is rather redundant. But you know what? Music is for the heart and soul. If you feel it and the music touches a nerve or generates an emotion then I cant hate on that. Those of you asking about my double standard with 50 Cent can eat my ass, btw. NO EMOTION is generated from 'In Da Club'. Except rage.

Now that I have gotten some things out of my system, it's time to rant. It has been a while since I have ranted for the peeps mainly because I am tired when I get in. However, this needs to be said. Now you all know my stance on religion: if it gets you through your life and gives you direction/peace then I am all for it. Just don't push your shitty values on me and sure as HELL don't tell me that your deity is the one true path to heaven/enlightenment/nirvana/Portland or where ever the fuck your special happy place is. I made the mistake of watching VH1 on Saturday morning while getting ready to head out of the house and they were talking about a show with Kirk Cameron. Those of you not familiar with him, he was Mike Seaver from Growing Pains with a best friend named Boner. Yes, they said Boner on TV in the 80's. Anyway, this asshat has a show about how to communicate the word of the Lord-ah and Jesus-ah to the masses that have enough common sense to know to stay away from anyone that would WATCH A SHOW ABOUT HOW TO COMMUNICATE THE WORDS OF THE BIBLE TO RATIONAL PEOPLE! Herein lies the problem with some (not all) followers in religion.

In college I wrote a paper in my Philosophy of Religion class about rational thought and the Bible. My point was that the Bible is about belief, not about objective thought. Really think about it; the bible is a story of fables and anecdotes that you live your life by. In my opinion, that should be IT. People believe the stories in books of worship really happened but can't (or won't)grasp the concept of evolution? Bitch please! At least we have proof of evolution: 50 Cent and K-Fed being the missing links in the evolution chart:

You look me in the eye and tell me they don't look like a stepping stone in evolution and you would be a fool ass LIAR. Evolution is seen as false by most religious bodies. Yet the bible had raining frogs, plagues upon plagues, dragons, horsemen, talking bushes, a dude that split a SEA and a Jew that was beaten and nailed to a cross and didn't complain ONCE. That is bullshit, we all saw the Hebrew Hammer (and if you didn't shame on you because that shit was HILARIOUS). It is just funny to me how selective people can be in what they believe.

So you ask: Duece, what do you believe in? Well, that is a very interesting question. All I can say is this: I have in the last 8 years looked at Christianity (Catholicism to be specific), Buddhism, Islam, Judeism (Hey, any people that will do what they did to Jesus is a team I want to be down with because they don't PLAY), Mormonism and Scientology. After doing research, I really don't think I could be down with any team. It is kind of how I feel about politics: I don't affiliate with parties, I affiliate with my beliefs and stances. If a Democrat is for rights of Americans to be able to aquire guns legally easier then I am for that person. If a Republican is for the placement of Affirmative Action in schools where more than 90% of one race makes up a student body then I am for THAT person. In religion, I cannot say that I could believe in ALL the rules and expectations for one religion because for the most part they are all the same and secondly they (for the most part, there are some sects that don't follow this) believe their religion is the 'true' way to get into heaven. I find that stupid, personally. I believe that if you live your life the best you can and just follow common sense (no killing people, no peeing on minors, etc.) that you will get into 'Heaven'. The fact that people think that their 'God' (no matter which religion) is petty enough to not let someone into eternal peace because they didn't give to the church or blow themselves up in their name is not a 'God' I want to worship. I'd rather go to fucking Detroit, and I HATE THAT PLACE. Never been, but still it just seems like a hellhole.

Quite simply, my point is this. People that follow an organized religion are cool. However, I also believe that just because you don't go to a house of worship doesnt make you any less of a person. The fact that believers feel that because they read a book that they are getting into the club is totally asinine. There are people that dont go to church that are better people all around in terms of being fair and just than regular church goers. Yet, because they don't believe in an organized body of faith they are gonna go to hell? Bullshit. You know, someone in my class told me that just because you don't believe in Hell doesn't mean you can't go. Well, I responded that the exact same goes for Heaven. If I happen to be wrong and there IS a heaven and I have been a good person I believe that just do to phrasing that I would go there, right? Someone correct me if I am wrong because I haven't read the Bible in YEARS. Oh, and like I said before I don't categorize all devout people as smug, elitist fucktards. Unlike some people out there, I don't believe in making a general assumption about a segment of people due to the actions of a few idiots and basing a life view on that. That would be DUMB AS FUCK, WOULDNT IT?!

Man, that was cold-blooded. I guess I shouldn't have went there but what can I say. You know, I have like...three maybe four female readers and I have been told this blog is abrasive and not very female friendly. Seeing as my lady troubles are WELL documented in previous entries (I got negative feedback about my women being stupider than zeebras analogy) and in conversations with the readers, I wanted to make this right. So for the ladies, I looked high and low for a poem to show you how much I love you. I have found those words. This is dedicated to the sexy, sexy ladies in my life. Over the age of 18, of course. Except in West Virginia and Kentucky. I ask you...what is love?

C'mon, ladies. That was funny. *sigh* Fine, I'm sorry. I am not taking into account your feelings and whatnot. Well, I guess that is the story of my life. As I mentioned earlier, it has been rough times in Duece City. For those that know me and know my rough month or so, I want to say big ups for putting up with me being a total punk bitch for that time. Well, those days are over. Gonna have one last song and let it go. All I have is six words....DRU HILL HELP ME SING IT!!!!

Ah, now that makes me feel a LOT better. Like I said last night, sometimes you gotta realize you did something stupid, chalk it up as a loss and charge it to the game. Man, I hate charging to the game.

Anyway, this has been a hella long holiday post so I am about to head out for a spell and enjoy the rest of my day off. I will try to be back up on Thursday or Friday for ya'll depending on how long I stay up on D-Town. Until then, stay up peeps.

Chachi out.

Stand and Deliver

Ok, I know it has been a while peeps. Like I said, pretty fucked up week last week and this week was no better. I want to sulk, but I have a higher calling to answer to. No, not God you dumbass: the peeps. To my four readers (FUCK YEAH! Coming up in the world, fools!) I am back and I am gonna drop the knowledge for the masses.

First off, about my prediction that X-Men 3 - The Last Stand would suck it dry. Well, I was partially wrong because it passed the first test: I didn't kill Brett Ratner. I was really expecting to have to end that man's life for fucking up a sure fire comic book franchise (see Kevin Smith with Daredevil, Ang Lee with Hulk and James 'Needs To Be Raped Analy with a Porcupine' Cameron with Batman Forever/Batman & Robin) but he actually did an average job and let the characters and action do the rest. The movie didn't need to overhaul the characters (like Batman Begins did for Batman) so the story was simple, the action was satisfactory and the movie flowed quickly because of it.

However, it moved WAY TOO QUICKLY. At only 108 minutes (an hour and forty-eight minutes for those unfamiliar) it clocked in shorter than the previous two X-Men films and all the Marvel movies released except Fantastic Four (thankfully, because that movie SUUUUUUUCKED. Even Jessica Alba in tight clothes couldn't save that shitfest) and Elektra (a movie whiched proved the theory that 100 monkeys with 100 typewriters can smear feces on a piece of paper and that movie will be greenlit because Hollywood is fucking stupid). Due to this time lapse, the movie had no real character build up for the non-fanboys that were already aware of Psylocke, Kitty Pryde, Caligstro and the Juggernaught (bitch!). Odds are, most people didn't care so that point is probably moot but I still think that 2 hours would have been sufficent to mention that maybe the Juggernaught is Xavier's stepbrother. Just nit-picking, it was a great action flick and well worth the watch. It is still behind Thank You For Smoking, but it is the second best movie of the year so far. At least until Superman Returns comes out.

My fucking god, this movie will RULE ALL. I really can't see how they can screw this up. I mean I see how they can (putting Wendy, Marvin or Krypto anywhere near this movie is a good start of crapifying this movie) but I am sure Bryan Singer has the right idea and has directed a masterpiece.

Now, on to a personal note. Readers of the blog know that for the most part, my life is an open book and whatever I say and do I stand by. That being said, for those that know me, you know that I have been partaking in a drink here and there. Fuck it, I have been getting sloppy ass drunk lately. I will be the first to say that I have done some dumb ass stuff while drunk. Or sober, they kind of run together as of late. That being said, I am NEVER going to blame anything stupid I have done on anyone else because I knew what I was doing was stupid when I did it. When I look back on the dumb shit I have done, I chalk it up as a loss and charge it to the game. I know that next time, I might not want to do that again because I may lose track of large chunks of time, screw people up for a while or end up taking advice from a talking dog. Yeah...mushrooms aren't just for pizza. That dog also told me to by stock in Apple but I didn't listen.

Crap, it's getting late and I have only slept for about three hours since Thursday. I will try to get enough brain waves to put something up tomorrow. Stay up peeps.

Chachi out.

Well It's About Damn Time...

Evening, peeps! To all five of my readers, what the hell is up?! Can I get a 'laffy taffy'? I sure as hell better not lest I whip your ass. I STILL hate that fucking song. Anyway, I must say that today was rather 'bleh' until I saw this link on the Superficial (which BTW is a kick ass site). What can I say to Katie after reading this? To quite the characters on Drawn Together:

AH DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Katie, it's about damn time you saw the light. It isn't all that bad, at least you are carrying The Dawson's baby and not Tom's. Hang your hat on that, you didnt even have to have sex with the nutcase Smurf and you STILL get some money out of the deal. See, sometimes life can be poetry.

Aw, crap. Both Lost AND American Idol are on. And it's their season finales! Do I give a shit? Nope, time to watch the NBA. Crap, it's Steve Nash. Sigh, guess it's time to watch Grandma's Boy again. You know, it may just be me but I really want to see Ryan Seacrest mauled by bears. Much like terrorists, bears never go after the REAL enemy. I'm sure that people would be cool with grizzly bears if they went and ate the intrails of the cast of Party of Five rather than children. Okay, maybe that is a reach but...

What in the fuck are they doing to Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me?!

You know, if I killed those freaks right now, no one would convict me. THEY ARE BUTCHERING A CLASSIC FOR RATINGS! Holy shit, is that Clay Aiken? Wow, is it just me or does he look GAYER than usual. Nothing against homosexuals, but the new derogatory phrase for 'gay' is now officially 'Aiken' because he is just gayer than Gayzor Mountains with a gay pride parade watching The View on Barbara Striesands' birthday. I mean GOD DAMMIT.

So Al Gore is so serial about global warming. You know the Manbearpig episode of South Park (after watching it again) is one of the funniest of the last two seasons because I think Al is at Tom Cruise/Mel Gibson/Mariah Carey levels of crazy. I mean that nigga is CRAY-ZAY. And of course you want to talk about global warming with MT-fucking-V. Isn't this the same network that pimps rides? Have you ever seen them pimp a hybrid? Hells no! Hypocracy to its fullest, that is MTV.

Speaking of videos or lack thereof seeing as how MTV doesnt do that anymore, where am I supposed to hear about Pearl Jam albums? I never hear them on the radio or see ads in record stores. Seeing as how I haven't LIKED a Pearl Jam song in a while I guess I shouldn't complain. The reason I haven't liked a Pearl Jam song in awhile is because I havent HEARD a Pearl Jam song in a coon's age. Just bitching about thatl. Someone give me a heads up on how this (and oh, their last FOUR albums) sounds if you could.

So X-Men 3 is looking a LOT better now. I'm not sure on how it is gonna be, but it won't be Elektra or Daredevil bad. I was fearing the worst but it looks like everything will be coming up Milhouse this Memorial Day weekend on the movie front. Just waiting now for Pirates and Superman. Then I can die happy.

Pablo Francisco. Nuff' Said:

This dude needs his own show. He is funnier than Mencia and isn't as annoying. Yet, David Spade has his own show and...yeah I've never seen it either. Oh, this is special. I guess its been around for a while, but Nolan and Zach told me about it and I decided to put it up. Prepare to be offended. Not any more offended than you are at the rest of my bullshit, but still.

HOLY SHIT IT'S PRINCE ON AMERICAN IDOL!!! THERE IS A FUCKING GOD!!!

You think Prince dunked on Seacrest and served that bitch some grapes?

Yeah, God bless the internet for letting me know that Prince was on or elss I would have missed the purple one and never forgiven myself. Well, it is almost bedtime for the Duece. I will have something up over the weekend, if not then avenge my death.

AVENGE ME!!!

Chachi out.

Man Without Fear

What's up, peeps. I'm back again today, trying to give you all more updates than once a week. I'll drop jewels for you when I can. With that being said, two big things today. First off, seeing as I haven't been able to get to the comic book store for a spell, my box was rather full. I FINALLY got to read the final issue of Infinte Crisis and I must say, it was pretty good. Not as good as Indentity Crisis (which some hated but I dug, especially with Tim Drake's dad dying. The scene with Tim and Bruce was just priceless) but it was well worth the 26 months it took to fucking complete. I mean seriously, meet a deadline. The ending was interesting, and kind of a take off from the original Crisis on Infinite Earths with what happened to the Bart Allen (Impulse/Kid Flash). Not only that, Superboy Prime killing Conner Kent was JACKED. I couldnt have given a rats ass about Connor, but Superboy Prime was a total dick and needs his ass whooped. I mean seriously, take a look at it and see. All in all, the seven issues were pretty good and I am sure they will be reprinted soon. If any of you peeps are comic fans, check it out.

Secondly, I saw the trailer for Fearless at the Di Vinci Code and I just downloaded it yesterday. All I can say is that even only an hour into it, I will see this movie TWICE in the theater. Jet Li kicks ass AND acts in this bad boy, and it is kind of based off of history to boot. Don't forget, this was back before Woo Ping and wire fighting. They did that shit FOR REAL. So far its pretty good, too bad they cut out about 35 minutes of it. I haven't noticed it yet, but I am sure all of a sudden it is gonna skip to 2005. I'll keep the peeps updated.

For those that have been keeping up with Bleach...is anyone else bored right about now? It just seems to be filler and lack of excitement. Ever since they left Soul Society the series has been SLOOOOOW and it is beginning to bug me. They better pick up the pace before they hit DBZ levels of stagnancy. And I ain't gonna watch if it gets that shitty. Actually, I havent had much time to keep up on anime because of the drive to D-Town.

You know, I don't have much to rant about today. I'm just a little tired. I may be back up tomorrow. Until now, sorry so short. Thems they breaks. Stay up, peeps.

Chachi out.

Breaking the Code

So, I know it has been a week since the last update. All I can say to that is rough week. No sleep, awake all the time and really confusing. I would tell you more, peeps but I'd rather not. Let's just say that life ain't a fucking box of chocolates, it's a quandary wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a question. Much like women are.

Speaking of boxes of chocolates, I saw the Da Vinci Code yesterday and it....really wasn't bad at all. I read the book when it first came out (I can't read! I'm not a loser!) and haven't touched it since. As a matter of fact, I think I loaned it to a classmate and never got it back. Anyway, the movie was very good if you never read the book. Think about it:

Doc Ock? CHECK
Magneto? CHECK
Insane Albino Monks? CHECK
A nun getting her ass WHOOPED ON by the aforementioned Albino Monk? CHECK
No Heath Ledger or Colin Farrel? CHECK
Theories that match my own about Jesus just being a hippie with cool ideas instead of a Jewish Keanu Reeves? CHECK
Thinly veiled vagina and penis jokes? CHECK
No Bears? CHECK
Somebody FINALLY serving those bible freaks that feel that murder is justified ONLY if it is for their cause? FUCK YEAH!
No black people? CHECK
Tom Hanks sporting the stupid-ass Steve Nash look? CHECK, and worth a hearty chuckle.

Just by those points alone, this movie is tolerable. Then add in the fact that Tom Cruise was NO WHERE NEAR IT and you have a movie that is well worth watching. I was disappointed there were no protesters. I would figure a movie that questioned the very BASIS of Jesus being the son of God would have had at least ONE fucktard telling me I was going to hell. At least then I could have brandished the beating stick and claimed self-defense:

'That kid was gonna beat me with a bible! I had to protect myself! By hitting him 74 times in the ribs and leg with a stick. Officer, kids are cunning I had to act fast!'

Eh, maybe not. Wow, I really crossed a line there. I guess that is what makes me so damn awesome. All in all, The Da Vinci Code was a good movie (not up there with Grandma's Boy or Thank You For Smoking) that is worth the watch. And Christians: let it go. It's a FAKE movie about a book of...stuff. Get a grip, Opie (Ron Howard) is not questioning your beliefs and Dan Brown is not Solomon Rushdie. It is a fucking movie, give it a whirl you might like it (except for the man ass in the beginning. AWKWAAAAARD) After what George Lucas did to Star Wars, I believe that Star Wars fans have more of a beef about bastardizing a book than Christians do. Did you SEE Revenge of the (Steaming) Sith?! BASTARD! If this were in it, the movie may not have sucked it so hard:

What the hell is an Aluminum Falcon?! Priceless. So a long time ago (January, I think) I posted how much loved the Jesus Dance webpage. Well, a while ago I got an e-mail from the creator of the website saying he was taking it down due to pressure and other factors. Well, that site KICKED ASS and I am pretty sure that Jesus cut quite the rug in his day. With today being Sunday and the Da Vinci Code being in theaters, I figured today is the day to give Jesus some props. I bring to you a mirror to the Jesus Dance. Oh, and that song is classic.

Speaking of songs, I guess my J-Pop collection is gonna get a little bit bigger. I know I said last week that I was gonna have to cut back because nothing new has been released in a while. Much like fall of 2005 when I gave up on hip hop (Two words: Nelly's Grillz) but Common, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Kanye West and Little Brother came out back-to-back and made me a fan again, I have been drug back into J-Pop. You peeps may (or may not if you are new to the blog) know of Sowelu from an earlier post in the blog (I think 'Dope Space Chachi' was the entry) when I posted the Live from Budokan clip with M-Flo when they performed So Exclusive. She also did I Will, a closing theme to Full Metal Alchemist (4th season I think. I posted earlier it was from Samurai Champaloo but that was a different kick ass song altogether). Check it out:

That song was my jam for a minute. Anyway, Sowelu has a new single and it is some poppy goodness. I ordered last week online and just put it on my iPod and I must say, this song is very happy. And hey, I'm a happy guy. I give to you Sowelu with Dear Friend.

Crap, I'm just gonna say it: that video is fucking cute. I will not use kawaii to describe that video, but it was just so damn...happy action fun time. Yeah, great stuff. Looking forward to the album, too. If I can ever find out when it is coming. The second person that has me back on the J-Pop train is Namie Amuro. Now I have been a fan of Namie's for a while, I even put up with that Pink Panther bullshit from her previous album so I must say I was looking forward to this. I preordered the single (8 bucks is fucking STEEP, but eh Namie is worth it and there is a sweet remix and b-side on it) and got it on the 18th. All I can say is...hells yeah. The song is catchy and very hip-popish, which I am digging lately. Whoever does her beats needs to do some stateside, IMHO. I am sick of every other beat being Kanye, Pharell or Just Blaze. Anyway, Can't Eat, Can't Sleep, I'm Sick is a kick ass jam. Just downloaded the PV and it is not to shabby either. Check it out, peeps. If you like hip-pop you won't be disappointed:

I STILL think she needs a sandwich, but I'm not gonna complain. Very attractive young lady who I would like to take out for coffee. For the peeps that have been on this blog for a while, have you noticed how her dancing is becoming a little less robotic? Unlike Hyori Lee (who moves like her dance steps are installed in a microprocessor and sodered to her damn skull), Namie is looking very seamless in the dance move department. It's about time because I was gonna start comparing her to Jessica Simpson in the skill department and that ain't good.

So, while updating my iPod I found an older song that I am wondering about. If there are any anime fans reading this post: whatever happened to the group that made Gessekai? I know this song is from Nightwalker (which I STILL haven't seen, mind you) but I haven't been able to find much out about them since. This song RULES ALL, mainly because it has a Depeche Mode feel to it that I dig. Little known fack: I used to LOVE Depeche Mode. Seven years overseas will do that to you. Anyway, check this song out. The video leaves a lot to be desired but the song is bad ass.

Yeah, that's a meditator right there.

So I am watching MTV Jams for a second (they had A Rollerskating Jam Named Saturdays by De La Soul on. Who knew MTV played good stuff in between the SHIT?) and...where does one rap video end and the next begin? They played a block of videos and I thought it was all one video just a change of cities. It is really awkward, because I can not defend the statement that 'rap has gotten stale' because it REALLY has. The Rick Ross Hustlin, DJ Somedude Holla @ Me Baby, T.I.'s What You Know (and dont get me wrong, T.I. is my dog) and Dem Franchise Boys 'Ridin On' feel like the SAME DAMN VIDEO and for the most part are the same damn song. Everything is STILL about cars, chains, women and money. Ignorance is STILL spreading. To take what Common said and kind of make it my own:

'We tried so hard to break away from whips and chains, yet we strive to get whips and chains and STILL don't understand the pains.'

For those that DON'T know, whips and chains are cars and jewelry. We teach at The Passion of Chachi, as well. Even worse, I went to Best Buy to ask about the new Gnarls Barkley album (the Danger Mouse/Cee-Lo collaberation) and they looked at me like I was nuts. When I told them what the album was, some random black dude said 'Man, Cee-Lo sucks now. That nigga aint even a rapper no more.' So, to keep from gouging his eyes out I just said I would try another store. You know, I LOVE how Cee-Lo ain't real beacause he branches out into new realms of music but 50 Cent can make a shitty movie and still be beloved by dumb ass youths of all colors. Well, fuck them Cee-Lo kicks ass and so does Gnarls Barkley. Here is my free advertising for the week. I give you Crazy:

Yeah, I prefer that over that shitty "Best Friend" song or the new Mobb Deep any day.

News flash...Mariah Carey is still batshit-crazy. Not as bad as she was or up to par with Tom Cruise or Mel Gibson (he has been quiet but this is the calm before the storm) but she is still a few eggs short of a full dozen. Just had to get that out. Speaking of crazy, Ray Nagin was re-elected as the Mayor of New Orleans. Yep. I got nothing on that one. For the first time ever, I have nothing to say. Wait, I do:

(O_o)
WHAT IN THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!

*Sigh*

Well, long update today. Hopefully it will tide you over until the next update (either Wednesday or Thursday). Chachi is busy, tired and hella confused right now. Left is cheese and north is Cambodia. Hopefully I will get normal this week. Oh, I will be up on Saturday to give you a run-down of X-Men 3. Like I said, if this movie sucks I am going to go ballistic on someone. Anyway, stay up peeps.

Chachi out.

Monday, May 15, 2006

I guess crap is still crap, even if you don't see it.

What is up peeps? Late update today, seeing as how I get back about two hours before I have to fucking leave again. Eh, thems the breaks and all.

So I'm laying a bit off the J-Pop for a while. Not due to lack of liking, just due to a slow few months of releases. Bennie K and Orange Range have new stuff coming soon, but for the most part it is just UVERworld and M-Flo and as good as they are even I need variety. So what am I into now? Shitty songs that almost no one remembers but me. Yeah, it's hard to find some of the songs I liked back then, but when I do it is frickin sweet.

That being said, anyone remember that whack-ass animated cat in the Paula Abdul video for opposites attract? Well I do and it did indeed suck, as did the feline. That cats; name was MC Skat Kat. I can't make that up, but it's still better than 50 Cent and Crunchy Black. How can a rapper be named after a response for 'how do you want your steak done?' Anyway, it seemed he used that cameo to vault into (minor)super-stardom and bought his G-Unit-esqe posse The Stray Kay Crew (I think that was right, like it really fucking mattered. They are still better than the St. Lunatics and Skat Kat is marginally better than Nelly). Skat Kat actually recorded an ALBUM and had a minor hit single in this song here. Get ready to feel bad for Earth Wind and Fire folks because they bastardized a sample for Let's Groove Tonight with this classic ditty. Here is Skat Strut by MC Skat Kat.

Even at this bad a quality, you get the idea. Not gonna lie, I have been jamming to that for about a week now and I feel ashamed. At the same time, he's better than T-Pain. The second song I have been listening to was more out of research than anything else. I was trying to remember the lyrics to this song and happened to actually find this video. Then I laughed. ALOT. To think I actually used to tolerate this song. I dont think he had another hit, and for all intents and purposes it doesn't matter: he had one hit and that is all that matters. I had a single in 1996 called 'Work That Thang Like A Choo-Choo Train' but it never took off. Fucking Quad City DJ's stole my thunder. Who remembers 'The Train?!' WHOO-WHOO! Any-damn-way, I give to you the king of the nasty. The lord of the freaks. You can call him Freaknasty. I call him crap.

Check out the dancing robot! Freakzoid on the dancefloor, fools! Yeah, I'm reaching for good points, that song is GOAT ASS. But hey, back then if you wasnt dippin, you was trippin. Okay, peeps. I'm gonna level with you. Back in the day, there was a song that came out. A song that I dont know why, but I just couldn't not listen to it. I had to bump this song like they were gonna ban it. Seriously, it was my goddamn e-mail address. This song was so damn stupid. Just listen to the lyrics:

He aint ya boyfriend
He aint ya husband
Just sumbody u can call when your body needs a fix
He'll put u in tha mix
Den you'll hear him askin
whats my name say my name

Peeps, spell his name. Say his name. Splackavellie.

Man. That was bad. If you remember that song and your name aint Griff you get MAD PROPS. The Chachi respects your ability to handle pain.

So I missed the Bush speech (I usually do, I would rather skullfuck a cactus than listen to him) but after getting the long and the short of it...did you know there is a third accuser in the Duke rape case? Just goes to show, sex is bigger news than immigrants. Dude, MSNBC RULES!! They are giving away tips on how to beat a polygraph test! Let's see Fox News do THAT. See, that's why I watch it. The speak directly to me, since I am their only viewer and all. Nice to be appreciated.

Quickly back to Bush. With everything going around in the news from Iran to Iraq to Chris Daughtery getting booted from American Idol (to which I say BULLSHIT!), illegal immigrants are one of my non-factors right now. And the sending troops to Mexico means we are more interested in keeping Mexicans out than helping Iraq. I think that gradually all the troops from Iraq end up at the border and Bush is going to totally ignore the 'Pottery Barn' rule. If you don't know what that means, please look it up or read The Boondocks. We here at the Passion of Chachi don't really endorse reading because we aren't losers, but learning can be fun. Stay up, peeps.

Chachi out.
