Inspired by a post from Ms. Nicci, I give you Rocksteady, by the Whispers.
First off, I've got something to say:
Dear myspace women, you're pics are hot, that has been established. You've got about a million dudes you'll never meet confessing their love for you. That's cool. However, what is not cool are your pictures that have the caption "Dear Mr. Toilet, I'm the shit."
What? Honey, please. I do not want to think about shit while looking at your pictures. Stop it right now! It's not cute. It's not clever. It's downright disgusting. You do know that you're calling yourself a piece of waste? Lord!
I saw the new Die Hard film yesterday.
Trust me on this, folks. It did not disappoint. It was everything I expected it to be. Right out the gate this movie opens with a bang. John Mclane is one again looking pitiful when it comes to life's problems, chasing down his estranged daughter and getting the reject line. As an action hero he shines, walking into certain doom and coming out with cheesy one-liners and dead bad guys.
As I just mentioned, it was everything I wanted to see in an action flick. I've always wondered why so many action movies try to copy the Die Hard franchise, but none of them ever do. The answer is because these movies know that they are nothing more than "shoot-em-up" action thrillers. They don't try to be witty, smart, or clever. All they need is do or die heroics, one-liners, bullets flying, asses being kicked, and hot women. Yes, we have hot women in this one! Woo hoo!
Kevin Smith was in this flick, too. When I saw the opening credits rolling and I saw his name, I thought "Oh lord, he's gonna fuck it all up!" But no, he was actually great in this film, playing Freddy aka Warlock, a Star Wars obsessed computer hacker who lives in his mom's basement and helps out our hero on the technological side. But yes, his acting was great. Do you know how I could tell? Because he was able to convince me that he was not Kevin Smith. For a minutes, I was actually convinced that he was this Francis cat. Bravo, Senor fat ass!
I sat down to watch the Espy Awards last night and I saw someone who looked oddly familiar. Lo and behold it was Regina King.
Lord, jeebus! She looked fabulous. And that's not a word I throw around often, unless I'm imitating "Rosie Posie Tokyo," which is a character a friend and I created once.
But seriously, she looked great. I've noticed that she has always had problems keeping her weight steady. One minute, she'll be lean and mean, and then the next minute she'll be on Mother Love status. (Not that there is anything wrong with that) When she was in the movie Boyz in tha hood, she looked rather thick. Then I saw her in Poetic Justice, and she did come down a bit. She came down even further size-wise in Friday. Hell, I didn't even recognize her.
Then I saw her in Enemy of the state, and I noticed that she had put on a few pounds. It was cool. I didn't mind at all. I forgot where else I saw her, but recently she was on 24, and she was kinda thick. Again, I loved it. But when she came out last night looking the way she did, I wanted to hump my tv. For real.
Anyway, that's all I have to say today. Ya'll be good. Deuces!
Show us what the weekend has in store for you.
Never one to miss out on a cool opportunity, I took advantage of Free Slurpee Day at 7/11. Ha ha
Dear rain,
This isn't Seattle. Stop it!
No love,

In other news, I bought Clerks on VHS at the Indoor Flea Market, for 1 U.S. Dollar. For those of you wondering why this is so important, I'd like to point out something. Clerks is Blockbuster's number 1 unreturned or stolen VHS movie, ever! Meaning that college kids around the states would spend their days ordering pizza, listening to the jesus lizard, and popping Clerks in the VCR. I plan to commemorate these youths of yesteryear, by doing the same, sans Jesus Lizard and pizza.
Movies I saw this weekend
The Boondock Saints
I can't believe it took me this long to see this flick. Quality stuff. My only qualm with the movie is that it kinda flatlined toward the end, I think. In my opinion, having the hitman join the team of rebels was kind of a cop-out. The kind of cop-out ending you'd see in Saturday morning cartoons and kid friendly flicks. Instead of taking the plunge, they pull you onto the river bank, where it's safe. Bah.
I read that they are making a sequel, without Willem Dafoe. I personally don't think this can be done without the Green Goblin. He was the central character, playing the antagonist to the brothers' crusade.
All in all, good flick. Top notch.
Street Fighter: The Animated Movie
It's been years since I've seen this flick. I have to admit that when I saw it as a teen, I begged for them to show us something beyond just Chun Li's ass. I honestly think that was the only reason I saw the damn thing to begin with. Good movie, but I wish they would have actually used the other characters from the game for something other than just an exhibition and cheesy display of their video game "powers." M. Bison was a beast, and Sagat owned your hood. But Vega was totally gutless, putting on a horrible display, letting Chun Li get the better of him with her useless, "spinning bird kick." Another thing that bothered me was the jackoff Honda vs Balrog match. I swear, they both fell over the edge of the mountain, but Honda appears in the ending, totally unscathed. Whaaaa?
American Beauty
I haven't finished watching this movie yet, but I shall, tonight. I like it so far. Kevin Spacey plays the ultimate mid-life crisis slack ass, but he does a great job. I watched this movie based on the reccomendations of two people. Now, usually I don't watch movies that someone reccomends. I never have. I don't know why. But this is looking good so far.
I'll tell you more about it when I get back. Deuce.
If you have it, I'd really appreciate a scan of Voodoo's spread. I mean, I could buy it myself from Ebay, but fuck that, you know. I'm not paying their exorbant prices only for Voodoo.
If you could hook ya boy up, I'll love you forever.
Peace.

I don't fuck with those. They are just ploys for the government to snoop and check on what you buy. Fuck that!
