Man Who Sold The World

Man Up Niggas!

I was suddenly reminded of "A Low Down Dirty Shame" just now.

Are you cheating on me now?

And a new favorite....

Ah, that's up aways, next to the Barnes & Noble eh? Good stuff, always crowded on weekends. That reminds me, I have to start hitting up the night clubs/bars they have over there.

People talk like this? Translation: This chick could be settin' me up. She could tell I was rich by my jewelry and clothes. So, she could have two dudes waitin' in L.A. to rob me. My nigga Frogg lookin' out for a playa! Translation: My friend Frogg is explaining what I was talking about.

That's "Nigga" talk.

"I Became A Rape Counselor So I Could Tell Rape Victims They asked For It"

I was having too much fun wasn't I?

In the Paseo plaza? If so, I frequent that place. I used to work at Pacific Theatres Paseo.

No way dude. Shit freaks me out. I know And imagine driving with that playing and the bass allowing you to "feel" the tremors. I was almost in tears when my buddy popped that in one night on our way to a club. I also like Andre 3000's Love Below CD with "Prototype" as an honorable mention.

Everytime I see 'I'll give you the business", I remember that Aqua Teen episode with Meatwad telling Shake that he's in business to give him the business... "up ya BUTT". Meatwad's voice when he says "up ya BUTT" cracks me up big time When I'm high

Okay, a few of my boys at work have this little bet going. We just finished working on and watching Dreamworks "Dreamgirls" which features Beyonce, Jamie Foxx, Danny Glover, Eddie Murphy among others and it's supposedly coming out during the same week as Rocky Balboa (save for release date changes), so we're wondering who will take the top spot. I know it's months away from being significant, but I'm going with Rocky Balboa just because of the nostalgia factor. That and Dreamgirls is Chicago meets Rent (a 3 hour musical) and may be Rated R (the F bomb was dropped frequently). Few of my boys think otherwise, claiming it wil be a draw for the African American community. Being african american (or half anyway), I can't envision black teens going to see this movie. My votes for Rocky.

I've actually related to several of their songs. Of course the song that made me a fan was "Black" because of it's raw energy and meaning. In the live version he says "With my eyes close, all I see is Black". It means so much, if you listen to it. I also think "Denial", "Live Again", "Waffle", "Face To Face", "Pieces", and "Broken Down" (which sadly didn't make it to the Best Of CD) are all must listens. Those songs play in heavy rotation on my Ipod.

Before I was off to work my mighty mighty 12 hour shift, I stopped by the liquor store for some gum and a vitamin water. Upon going to the counter to check out these products I was stopped by a lady who called me "Hey". I corrected her that my name was Robert and she asked me if I could give her a ride to L.A. Now I was in Pasadena at the time, so about a good 30 miles away from anything L.A. This was a Sunday, and she was dressed like she was going to a Saturday club. The short skirt, strapless top, and the pumps with the laces that tie up their legs kind of threw me off. Kind of weird, but hey, I've seen worse in the 'Dena. So I tell her I can't do it, I mean, I wished I could, I've been stranded before I got my cars so I know how it feels to be stuck, but I wasn't born yesterday. Homegirl could be settin' a playa up. She saw the watch, she saw my cash stack, and saw how I was dressed, she knew what was up. And she could have two thugs waitin' for me in L.A ready to jack my shit. Forty Dollars later and I'm headed to L.A. I call up everybody I know and tell'em if they don't hear from me in ten minutes to call me or come to the Vernon exit off the 110. I ask her what she was doing in Dena and she says she was doing a House Call. Turns out this girl is a 19 year old stripper fresh out of San Francisco who's doing House Calls until she signs to a strip club. She used to work for teh Crazy Horse! in 'Cisco. Then a lightbulb goes off in my head and I get evil. She asks me what I do, flirts a bit and puts her number in my phone. I get a call from my friend Ryan who wants to chill before I go to work. I tell him to meet me at a gas station where I'll stop and get gas. She gets on the phone with her Sugar Daddy Copperhead. Yes. Copperhead. She says HE doesn't think it's a good idea she rides with two strange guys. (Hm, Rob smells a setup). I agree that it may be unsafe. We stop at the gas station, she excuses herself to use the restroom. (Probably to do more plottin') I call my friend Ryan over who was waiting in the wings. He hops in the car and we zoom off. Half a tank of gas and forty dollars richer. I go to a bar for a few drinks before I head off to work which leads me to: My question: Should I have drunk before I went to work?

I've been a Sevendust fan since their first album and I've been questioning why they can't seem to get out there in mainstream. They had/have the commercial hits, LaJon's voice is amazing, and they've got great music all around. I can't seem to understand it. They have hard stuff and that those little "slow" songs that everyone digs and they can't seem to get into the public and I can't figure it out. I've even read articles where some people throw out the race card, but I won't touch that for a number of reasons. Anybody heard of them or have an opinion of their music and why they haven't busted out? Is it TVT records fault? (the label they have since left)

I hate that. It's what's keeping me from saving money, which I need to do. But it's like whenever I'm bored, and I have money I get this impulse and I go out and buy dumb shit. The downside to that among other things is "selling" it back won't even get me half price. I buy DVDs and I'm never at home to watch them. Shit just doesn't add up.

I know how when I say drugs, the first thing that comes to mind is the kind you buy from "suppliers" on the market or "streets". However, young Frodo, drugs in Begas can mean a whole wide array of substances. And everything in Begas takes Mastercard or Visa.
