SEATTLE

Yea I checked out Seattle while I was back in the North West !

PIKE STREET MARKET



There is a popular fish spot in Pike Street Market - Those guys are pretty entertaining, when you order something they start yelling and throwing it around like pirates or some shit.

I see smart crew has been to Seattle too

Space needle


Ohhhhh SHIT - Shout to the homie JAH JAH and NINJASONIK (http://www.ninjasonik.com/)
I went into a book store with mi madre and found this book with my homie Jah on the cover. HOLLA !

Oregon - that's right

One of those cool ass panoramic photos of the creek the bridge goes over

I told you my cat doesn't play games

Funny to show food after that, but these were bomb as fuck


AND that is the end of Oregon. There are actually like 15 photos that didn't make the blog for good reasons, you'll have to ask me about em if you want to see 'em. I had a blast in Oregon (as usual) BUT I was real bummed to see how GRIMEY my town is. I really hope that someone can make a change out there (like do something about all those fucking abandoned buildings) otherwise I will have to come back when I get some money and fire the whole city and hire new people that are down to put in work.

Oregon still god damn

LOLLL gotta be an I love ORegon shirt right?


In my town there was never a lot of graf.. besides 13 st. shit... but this time around this kid - MBK - hit maadd spots around my neighborhood. Glad to see someone is claiming spots


There is a trail near my house and there is a brick factory on the trail where we used to fuck around

The usual morning for me - falafel and feta sandwich plus beer


My friend and I were getting mad basketball session in at the church cuz the NBA finals between the Celtics and the Lakers was on and getting us hyped

Oregon Continued

There is a bridge near my house... I went under it on a rainy day and discovered some graffiti

Glad to see people on oregon are puttin in work

Pizzaa

EUGENE - had to go down there to get a party in for my home girls b-day

Classic - the Made In Oregon sign on Burnside... I stopped the car on Burnside bridge for this

OREGON FOO

Went down to one of the state colleges to visit my African homie for African day at his school



Chillinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

CANT GET MEXICAN FOOD LIKE THIS ON THE EAST COAST !



I try to tell people Portland is just like Williamsburg


My cat kills lots of things

OREGON

Yoooo so now that Fall is setting in, I guess it's time to re-cap on the summer.
Well the first big thing I did was go to OREGON, so here are a shit ton of pics:

FIRST THING I SEE when I get off the airplane-is in the bathroom of the airport. A needle disposal... 'But Alex, it's probably for people who have diabetes.' SUURE count how many needle disposals you find in public restrooms in your town please. OREGON aka Welcome to Meth Ville


You know the first thing I had to do was eat something; and drink tea of course:
I should follow sports more so I can be a TRUE fan, but this is my team homie: BLAZERS

This is my dog Angel. She recently passed away. She was about 15? If you know me then you know the story of my dog. She ran away when I was in high school and some lady called 2 years later saying she found her about 40 miles away from our house.



Now-after a sad story-THIS:
I might have to explain to some why this is funny. I have been living in Brooklyn, NY for 5 years now. One thing you learn out here is that razor blades are usually more associated with cutting people, rather than opening boxes. SO for a razor blade company to be called 'Helping Hand' is kind of funny because it's like these are going to help you cut more people.

ANOTHER reason this is funny-Everyone on the east coast knows that the northwest is full of depressed people and Meth. (Don't as me why, but that's how a lot of people out here picture oregon and washington to be-maybe because two well-known singers from WA are also known for committing suicide.) ANYWAYS this is pretty funny becuase it is like-buy helping hand so it can help you cut your wrists wide open.


WELL I don't have time to post the 45 pictures I took while I was in OR, but I will try to put 5 new pics up everyday!

THANKS

For the three of you that peep my blog - Sorry I have not updated it since the World Cup... It was just that important to me :)

How do I feel now that it's over?

Well I HATE Suarez from Uruguay, I honest to god wish someone would have poked him.

Also bummed no African or American (both North and South) were not involved in or even the winner of the world cup match. Oh well there's always the next four years...

All in all, the World Cup was amazing as usual and I am sad that it has come to an end :( Glad I got to enjoy it though :) as I have a flexible schedule and work dope jobs I was able to catch as many games as I wanted to !

ALSO I just want to say here FUCK YOU to everyone that didn't believe South Africa could pull off hosting the World Cup, and FUCK YOU to everyone who had negative things to say during the games. I HOPE YOU ALL LEARNED SOMETHING - South Africa is a beautiful country and now you all know it. Yes it has many problems but so does every other country on the planet so suck my balls. I think you should also learn that South Africa is full of very hospitable people, something I have a hard time finding in the United States. Thus, it was not a miracle that the country with THE MOST HOSPITABLE people I have ever met in my life could manage to HOST the World Cup and do it with class.

I will be making new, probably massive updates at a time from my trip to OREGON till now.

Until then: Peace.

WORLD CUP MOTHER FUCKERS !!!

THE FUCKING OPENING GAME BETWEEN SOUTH AFRICA AND MEXICO WAS FUCKING SICK ! 

I'm pumped. I don't have cable so I was listening to the game on the radio via internet and ran around the apartment screaming when South Africa scored against Mexico.

If you didn't see the game Mexico got a goal later and the game ended in a TIE.

HOWEVER I am still fucking hyped because South Africa is ranked 83 in the world (by Fifa), while Mexico is rated 17. Mexico was supposed to win that game easy, but instead they were fighting to not loose.

I know lots of people in the states don't like soccer, but it's fucking awesome. It's an intense game, and unlike the basketball and baseball finals, when elimination rounds come there is none of this 7 game series stuff. You got one chance to bring it, and on top of that, if you fail you gotta wait four years until your next shot. THAT is a lot of pressure, and I think that is what makes watching the world cup so exciting. 

Besides that, soccer is just a sick fucking sport. Last World Cup (2006 in Germany) a country from Africa called the Ivory Coast was in a civil war, but they put the war on hold because their team made it into the World Cup. There was no movie ending with Ivory Coast winning, but I think it is amazing that people stopped killing each other because they wanted to support their team in the World Cup. I guess that is the other thing: with so much drama between all the countries and politics and wars and anger ... IT IS really refreshing to have the whole world getting together and being excited for something positive for a change.

Furthermore I am just proud of South Africa. So many people talk trash about South Africa and how bad it is and how crappy the leaders and so on. A TON of people even said South Africa would not be able to get it together to host the World Cup. Well they fuckin' did! and I'm glad because now the whole world can see how beautiful the country of South Africa is. AND THE WHOLE WORLD can worry about whether or not their team will win, instead of speculating about who is making weapons and who is harboring terrorists and watching every step Obama is making. 

FUCK ALL THAT NOISE ! WATCH SOCCER; AND BE HAPPY BITCH !!

P.S. We need to all come together and realize what the real problem is, who the real enemies are...The referees in the world. That one umpire guy fucked up that perfect game for that pitcher in Detroit, and today the ref's didn't call offsides on that goal Mexico scored ... WHAT THE FUCK?? People need to wake up and see the real problems in the world.

OREGON STRIPPERS

I heard from a few people about Oregon having more strip clubs than any other state, then when I checked it out on google I found this article:

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2003336880_portlandclubs02m.html

Which is about the comparison of strip clubs in Portland to Seattle.

Seattle is a bigger city than portland and in 2006 (when this article was written) it had 4 strip clubs. Portland, in 2006, had 50 strip clubs.

I think it's funny no matter where you drive you will find a strip club. Last night my friend and I were driving downtown and we got lost and ended up driving in the middle of no where. While we were lost we saw three strip clubs out literally in the boondocks. (somewhere on Columbus Ave for those of you who live in Portland).

I think it's hilarious slash awesome that Portland has so many strip clubs.

ORGONE

I'm in Oregon for the month so I probably won't be posting on the regular... gonna try to get a good handful of funny photos tho so be ready foo!

KICK ASS

Saw the movie Kick Ass a couple days ago:



It was directed by this guy Matthew Vaughn that produced about 10 things (including Snatch), but this is only his third time Directing. The movie was GREAT though. From the poster ads and the brief trailers I saw I thought this movie was a kid movie, but it is not. This movie is packed with action and violence and it is done well.

The kid decides to try and fight crime, since no one else seems to want to help, and he ends up in the middle of a beef between an ex-cop (Nicolas Cage) and a mob boss. And there is a lot of comedy, but also a lot of good action.

The movie looked like it was done on a set, which I heard was for a good reason, but I was not too crazy about that. You can tell when they are supposed to be in NY they are not actually, but whatever.

Verdict: GO SEE THIS MOVIE

A NIGHTMARE ON ELM ST.

Fuckin sick

Went to see it in theaters. Didn't jump or freak out too much, but I can't deny that Nightmare on Elm St. was mad entertaining.

It is different than the original but still based on the characters... i guess similar to alice and wonderland, only I was more aware of that change this time. Even though it wasn't a direct remake, it was still awesome and the new Freddy looks dope.

Wes Craven is gonna be making money off Freddy for a long time...

SKATING

Messin around on youtube today and found this vid zak made:

IM BACK

yooo So I got back from the shoot at the cabin with no voice. The second to last night we were outside next to a lake running four kino's and one HMI right up until the sun came up. I got about a good 2 hours of sleep then woke up the last day with no voice. 

OVERALL it was mad fun (as expected) and I think it's gonna turn out great. It's called "Some call it Love" and I'm sure I will have a trailer posted in a few months. 

I didn't take a lot of pictures with my phone because it was always fighting for service and killing the battery way too fast. I did turn it on one day and got some pictures of a day time scene that i lit with 3 kino lights and two 1200 watt HMI's. 

THIS is what the room looked like:

WHAT YOU MAY NOT KNOW is that we shot this scene late at night, but I had enough fire power to make it look like it was day. (or at least that's what i was trying to do).

This is a shot from inside with the DP and his AC settin' up the camera:

This is supposed to be a way cool panoramic photo of the room, but between texting the photo to Gmail and uploading it onto Blogspot, it turned into this tiny picture that no one can see:

This is the final result. The room is lit, the camera is set, and this is the frame.

One of the camera operators from set emailed me a giant link to a ton of photos from his camera, but I'm not gonna leak them photos namean? you'll have to hit me up if you want to see more. THE REST OF THE SHOOT was awesome (as I already said) and I have nothing more to say other than working on film sets is probably the most fun work I have ever done. The hours are long and the work is hard, but you get lots of free food!

One crazy thing that happened, an HMI fell from about 50 feet in the air and smashed into the ground while we were shooting in the forest. ($6,000 light). Luckily no one was hurt, and thanks to the soil, there was minimal damage to the light.

FOREST

Goin upstate to a cabin for 6 days to be a gaffer. Been doin' homework and shit, gonna make this stuff look sexyy. There will probably be production stills on Facebook in a few weeks.

6 FLAGS

Went to 6 flags on wednesday... not very long lines, nice hot day, it was sick.

BEFORE I got there I would like to say I was psyched to find out the old school method of fixing frozen or malfunctioning technology worked out for me on wednesday. That may be confusing so here is the explanation: I was on my way to pick up my cousin from his grandmother's house and the GPS decided to be frozen and not find me on the map. I tried restarting it. I tried unplugging it form the car. I tried cooling it off with the air conditioning. NOTHING WORKED... SOooo I put it on my leg and smacked the shit out of it, and it found me within 2 seconds after that. Reminded me of back in the day (before aliens gave us laser technology) when we had VCR's and TV that worked from antennae's that sometimes when it wasn't working you had to slap the shit out of the machine to fix it. I'm real glad that method worked for me, it started the day off right.

STARTED THE DAY OFF with Nitro ! 

Convinced the kid to go on King Da Ka... Reaches 128 MPH in 3.5 seconds. Goes almost 500ft High then straight down (as you can see).

6 Flags is fucking SICK I love the place. I kind of realized everything I post on here is something I review... Thus if you like the same shit as me you might like my blog because I'll tell you about shit you should be doing and shit you shouldn't be doing :) SO i feel kind of obligated to review 6 Flags, but at the same time I don't have much to say other than it is fucking awesome. I always have a blast every time I go... If you seen my facebook then you seen the last time I went and this same kid on the El Toro WITH A PRICELESS FACE. 

Which, by the way, I got more picture from my most current trip, but nothing will ever match the picture I put on Facebook. So, I am not gonna find a scanner to scan them in. SORRY. In one of the pictures we bought (we bought 2) I put on my sunglasses for the picture and later the lady said if a security guard saw that I would have got kicked out for having a loose article on the ride. So if you go to six flags be careful what you do in those photos. I actually saw someone get kicked out for taking a picture of King Da Ka before the ride took off.

Anyways, what do I have to say for six flags? GO . if you like roller coasters you will love this place. If you don't, or have a weak stomach then it might not be fore you.

AS WE FOUND OUT. My cousin can go on all the rides (including King Da Ka), but he doesn't do so well on the rides where his feets aren't planted firmly on the floor. FOR EXAMPLE at the end of the night we had gone on el toro, nitro, and king da ka a lot, but i wanted to go on bizzaro. SO I convinced my cousin to go, AND we soon came to the conclusion that rides that twist and go in loops and have his feet dangling result in PUKE.

Immediately after he threw up he decided he was hungry and I got him a 10 piece nugget meal from McDonald's. I got a number one, and it was a perfect way to end the day!

ARNOLD

This is arnold.

SAINTS ROW

For anyone who loved GTA3 San Andreas better than any other GTA on the planet... you might like Saint's Row. I've been playing Saint's Row 2 on my cousin's XBOX for a few days and i'm totally addicted... It has a TON of corny aspects. Like after you get shot, you just run away for 20 seconds and your life refills... the opponents die almost instantly as long as a bullet hits them anywhere. 

the missions are way too easy, the story line is kind of corny, and the missions are outrageous. For example your character gets away from a police precinct by stealing the helicopter on the roof... and the first mission you do you break out of prison pretty easily, and after that you can go roam around insideprison whenever you want. BUT it is still pretty damn fun. One corny thing, but I like it, is you can earn upgrades (like dual uzi's with infinite ammo which basically makes your unstoppable) and I got the upgrade to make your gang outfits ninja suits.

 I obviously now have my gang always walking around our neighborhood dressed like ninjas and it is awesome... below is a screen shot from inside one of my cribs with my ninjas drinkin 40's

FC Porto

In the lower three.. game tomorrow... if i win and the team above doesn't i'm clear again, and i'm playing dindane even tho he isn't fully recovered ... suspense.

OLD SKOOL

Yoo I got nothing interesting to post today, but I was watchin my vidz on youtube and I think this one is my favorite :

BOOKS

I finished the THIRD book out of the FOUR my mother sent me for christmas and my birthday. The three i finished (in order) are: 

Cold Fire by Dean Koontz

The Road by Cormac McCarthy

A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson

Cold Fire was Craazy... or another word i might use is imaginative. I won't say too much except that the story is about a guy who keeps saving people. THAT part of the story is actually really cool... the force behind his super power is a mystery for the majority of the book. Actually, the book is more about the main character finding out where his powers came from. His POWER is that he can be in the right place at the right time in order to save someone. Sounds lame, but it's kind of cool. For example, he will get a gut feeling to go to Atlanta; while he is there he keeps getting gut feelings until he ends up in a weird situation that results in him saving someone. Was the book worth the read? it was PRETTY long, but I liked it. I must say the twists in the book are real imaginative , but it is overall a fun (and again a LONG) read.

I actually was thinking it would be a nice movie, but there would be a lot to cut out, and I personally would probably want to change the story. I looked this up, and Koontz had a few of his books made into a movie; but they didn't do so great i guess. Also, he writes about taking the first steps to make Cold Fire into a movie, but it didn't work out (probably cuz he's other books didn't do so well as movies... i think he needs better directors).

The road was a book that has been made into a movie. I actually was reading this book around the time that I saw the movie The Book of ELI and the two settings are similar. The world has ended or something and now this man and his son are in a journey to the south to escape the cold. During their journey they encounter all kinds of crazy shit, like cannibals and what not, and it is pretty entertaining. I liked this book and highly suggest anyone read it. It is a interesting look into what might happen if the world were in an anarchist state with scarce water, and it is an easy read. I am interested in seeing the movie.

A Walk in the Woods was real funny and informational too. The guy who wrote it has a real dry sense of humor, but I am into that, so I thought it was pretty funny. The book is written about and by this guy (bill bryson) who hikes the Appalachian Trail (the largest foot trail in the U.S. I think). He is accompanied by his ex-alcoholic friend who is always complaining, but pretty funny, and I definitely laughed out loud to myself a few times reading about their journey. I would suggest reading this. It gives you a lot of knowledge about the trail and other wild life stuff in the states, and it is funny, and not really a hard read.

NOW I am starting to read the last book: Too Late To Say Goodbye by Ann Rule. I am pretty excited because it is a huge hard cover book (the others were soft cover). It appears to be a mystery involving murder and betrayal-AKA-it sounds like a cool book. 

EASTER

Happy easter you bastards ! I was in jersey and i saw a magazine for same sex parent animals? weirdest waste of time and effort I have ever seen... pretty funny tho..


ALSO my homie sent me this photo of peeps... funniest easter photo I have ever seen.

Clash of the Titans

Seen it in 3d

NOT WORTH SEEING IN 3D !!!!!

If your trying to see an action packed film this is it. In fact there is so much fuckin action in this movie that you have no time at all to get emotionally involved with the characters. I liked it, but the 3D was pointless... I think AVATAR was the only movie worth seeing 3d... the only thing I didn't like much was the end of clash of the titans .......... I don't want to blow it for anyone so you'll have to ask !

Conclusion: worth seeing in theaters, but dont waste your money on the 3d.

FC Porto

Lost one Won one Lost one... Still in the bottom 3 , if I win the next game I will be out again so I'm hopin for that.

INTERNET

My internet has been down for a week... Our service is with cable vision and we had to switch over the names that the service provides for. During this event, they shut off the service like March 25th or so... and I was thinking WHAT THE FUCK we PAID for march right? so why the fuck shut it off just because we are switching names? FUCK YOU CABLE VISION. Anyways, got it back up, had to re-set the wireless thing that shit took some leg work and now everything is back in order.

FC Porto

My team lost pretty nice, then without internet they played without my adjusting them against arsenal and tied. I am now a full 3 points behind the team above me, and am back in the lower three... Things are looking kind of bad. My two guys that have been injured both put one away against arsenal. NOW people want to buy three of my players... two of which are young and bad, the other guy is old but good. I think I should sell them maybe and invest in a defense and mid-field.

DOWNTOWN

Found out in the last couple posts that it is MAD easy to put photos from my phone onto this shit. SO I'm gonna start puttin pics up daily for no reason.
I WAS DOWNTOWN TODAY ON A SECRET MISSION FOR THE BOSS DON

SORRY

There are so many posts in one day, but that's what the back button is for. Just wanted to say Breaking Bad on AMC just came back for its NEW SEASON and it's a show starring the dad from Malcom in the Middle (one ot TV's BEST actors if you ask me).



PEEP THAT SHIT FOOOOOOOO

MoMA

I went to the MoMA this weekend. There is WAY more about it in the post right before this. One thing I mention in that post is art work that makes me think. I wanted to include a painting that I saw at the MoMA that I liked a lot:


It might be small to see, but this looks like maybe a man and woman walking on a nice spring day. I think it is a man walking with father death, and if it is, I like this a lot because it seems a bit ironic to me that this man and father death are taking a stroll on such a beautiful day. This is an example of art that I respect AND like.

MARIANA ABRAMOVIC

So I went to the MoMA this weekend. I went to check out the Tim Burton Exhibit, but didn't end up seeing it. Not exactly because the tickets were sold out, but on top of that I had to ask myself: I spent $15 to see his movie Alice and Wonderland ... should i spend $12 to see his art exhibit? My answer is no thanks. Maybe it is better than his latest movie, but I'm not interested.

I have always had a love-hate relationship with museums... because sometimes they bore me, and other times I enjoy them... but I figured I can just read about and see pictures later of his exhibit and be happy with that.

One exhibit I did see that initially made me very angry was the Mariana Abramovic Exhibit that the whole top floor is dedicated to.

I had heard a little bit about it - that there is a part where you pass between two naked people - and that is an art piece. Heard why it was interesting (because people noticed how awkward it is to pass between naked people or something like that...) and I thought it was creative... BUT I wasn't a big fan of her other stuff.

For example, there was a video of her screaming a lot.. not sure what kind of message she was going for, or what the point of it was at all, but I guess that is okay for some people. BELOW is actually one piece that I thought was alright.


THE MAIN reason I was turned off by her art is becuase I felt it was getting a lot of attention simply for the shock factor. "ohhh there naked people and boobs and pictures of blood and bones." I kind of felt like a lot of her ideas I could come up with when I am Really High off marijuana and involve little thought process. But on the flip side people are analyzing her art like it's new, creative and revolutionary, and the whole time I was looking at these adults like Where the fuck were you when the 60's and the 70's were happening? I felt like this shit was a summary of time period, but I didn't understand why her art is so special that it deserves a WHOLE FLOOR... what about the other artists who dropped acid daily and were naked during her same time?

Anyways... I must say some of her stuff I did like, well like is a little strong, so I guess some of her pieces I did respect... but a lot of it I didn't respect, or at least think was as creative and new as other people may have thought. One reason I kind of respect her is because I looked her up and found out (first of all she's a performance artist so the real-live people and videos make sense) but she is pretty real about this shit. What I mean is she is about what she does. She did a performance a while back where she played that game where you place your hand down and stab a knife in between the open spaces , you can wikipedia it for details , but I was like okay that's kinda cool that you put yourself through this weird shit. BUT I DONT really "like" or "enjoy" her art because it is mindless to me. I don't look at her art and think about it much, maybe because I am stupid, but I find myself in this NEW REVOLUTIONARY exhibit surrounded by other people watching a video of two people slapping each other continuosly and i ask myself: HAVE ANY OF THESE PEOPLE TYPED IN SLAP FEST ON YOUTUBE ?? that is funny and entertaining yes, but does it provoke questioning and interpretation the way the paintings on the 4th floor did? absolutely not.

VERDICT. Go to MoMA, get culture in your life, see the Mariana Abramovic exhibit and give your respects to the 60's and 70's because that was a wild time in the U.S.A. ... BUT don't be surprised if your looking at this art THAT A WHOLE FLOOR IS DEDICATED TO and wonder why the hell is a WHOLE FLOOR dedicated to this silly shit?

That the poster for Mariana's Exhibit at MoMA and my Lady successfully expressing exactly how I felt about it.

FC Porto

We lost to Juventus... big surprise they are in the top three teams. Two of my guys came off injury today so I'm puttin them in next game, one guy for his first time since I took the team. STILL OUT OF THE LOWER THREE ! HOLLA !

FILM FESTIVAL

I posted a while back a short student film that I acted in called "Cinderello." Well it got into the CUFF Film Festival, which is tomorrow, and I will be attending. The short film has been set to private on Vimeo, I'm sure because of festival rules, but hopefully it will be back up again so all you (maybe the 4 people that check my blog) could go back and see it. Here is their trailer for the event:

CUFF from Jeffrey Man on Vimeo.

FC PORTO

So I won my last game against the worst team in the league... I am pulled out of the lower three again. I'm not real excited though becuase we only beat them 1 - 0 and I wanna know why these fucks aren't crushing the worst team in the league? my two new defenders are averaging a rate of 5 per game (out of 10) so I am bummed on them. BUT the good news is the teams below lost last round... so I shouldn't sink to the lower three again any time soon.

FILMAKA

I also made a profile at FILMAKA.COM ... I actually made a profile for this site a LONG time ago, and you were only allowed to be a member for 30 days then you had to pay or something like that. Well I rediscovered it and it is entirely free and looks way different then the last time I've seen it.

Check it out:

This site actually seems pretty cool, but the only thing I REALLY HATE is whenever I seem to click on a link, it takes me to a blank page. Then I press 'Refresh' and it loads the page... what's going on with this shit?

Today I made a LinkedIn Profile... Check it out:

Couldn't hurt right?

MOVIES

I saw The Crazies this weekend. IT WAS SICK, and definitely worth watching in theaters. It is a re-make of the 1973 version by George A. Romero (same guy that did dawn of the dead and all the sick zombie movies of that time). I must say I was rather impressed. The director is some guy I never heard of named Breck Eisner, who apparently directed Sahara, but I didn't see that because it looked retarded. It was shot by some guy who shot movies I never seen and he did a great job, and finally there were actors I did not recognize (big surprise I am the worst at that) and I thought they did well.

What made it sick is that in most zombie movies it is Man Vs. Zombie and Man is always trying to find some sort of military personal to help them... In The Crazies... the military invades the town but to exterminate the people. SO the main characters are on the run from zombies AND from the military who are hunting any survivors. AND ON TOP OF EVERYTHING the CAUSEof people becoming ZOMBIES is actually kind of LEGITIMATE, unlike other zombie movies where people are zombies for stupid or no apparent reason. If you are going to the movies anytime soon then peep this movie!

NY CARES

I also forgot to add that I did go volunteer at an elementary school helping kids in an after school program. I got talked into going back again next Thursday, and I guess it will be a regular thing now. It was chill though, the kids aren't as annoying as I expected them to be.

Nycares.org

volunteer your special time you basterds

RAIN

So this weekend it rained HARDBODY and trees were fallin all over the place. I was drivin and there was a tree in the middle of my block. Then I went to take a train to the city and there was a TREE on the tracks so I had to go take the 2. On top of all that my ceiling was leaking and I had to build a gutter system out of foil and tape so it would all drip into one bucket. In the mean time it made me think of this video that came out when I was in seventh grade, and my art teachers name was Ms. Jackson too... oh how we used to harass her...

FC PORTO

BUMMED okay. So it's been a few days since a post and I had TWO games since then. I BEAT the team above me and pulled myself out of the lower three teams... psyyched ! TWO DAYS LATER I am playing the second worst team in the league and I kinda hoped it would be an easy win so I pulled out my best wingman and best defensive back so i would risk getting them injured in a stupid game because my man dindane already got injured.. and WE LOST 2 - 0 i was fuckin bummed man!

in the game against the team above me that i won the young kid rabiola finally put in a goal for me.

second game against second to worst in the league my man rabiola AND sektioui didn't dO SHIT !!! what the hell?

So now I am back in the lower three. Next game I am playing the WORST team in the league and I am putting the whole starting team in and going hard!

This administration has failed to recognize, has Failed To Recognize! That in theses changing times, with a revolution of rising expectations sweeping the globe, the United States has lost its entity as a new, strong, vital, revolutionary society. - JFK

FC Porto

An offer was made today for my Left Back (defender) A.Lino ... He's 32 and injured and rating 86 So I let him go for 3.5million ... Then I bought a New Left Back ... a free agent from italy. He's 26 and has a 89 rating... doesn't have any exp. so he may turn out to be terrible.. but my other LB is OK ... just a cranky guy, so I'll pull in this new guy see what he can do and maybe I can put my starting LB on the bench and let this Italian cat take over. Namean? I gotta stop people from scoring!

RECESSION

Yep people say the recession will be over soon, that we seen the worst. I still do not have a job! I sent out a good eight resumes and applications via internet this weekend... Haven't heard shit yet. So i'm back to my old ways... Volunteer work. It's been a long time since I volunteered, but I'm signed up to help little kids read on Thursday. If you have nothing to do with yourself, or if your an over achiever, then you should sign up at:

http://www.newyorkcares.org/

I signed up a while ago and it's kinda cool. For those of you who are selfish, they keep an online database of every project you worked on. So when you apply for any job, scholarship or grant you can easily obtain proof that you did volunteer work. And for those of you who want to help people for no reason, they make it really easy to find something and sign up.

BAD NEWS my friends. As I kind of expected... Man. United spanked me . no homo . They put 6 goals away on me ! Gotta thanks Tevez for half of those... They basically raped my defense and my goalie. To pile on the bad news... Dindane (after firing back with a goal) was INJURED !!! I'm so bummed, he's definately adding fire to my front line, and now he is out until mid April... Tektioui put one in too so at least we didn't get shut out.

Next match I play Tottenham Hotspur ! They lead me in the league by 2 points! If I beat them next Thursday then I will move out of the lower three teams and hopefully stay outta there... it's gonna be way crappier now that I don't have Dindane anymore... but We'll see what happens!

ALICE AND WONDERLAND

So I seen Alice and Wonderland... It was alright i guess? I was gonna put the trailer, but the first 5 i found had embedding disabled... so i figured I'd put something from the old alice and wonderland and i realized watching scenes from the old one that it is waaaaay more trippy than Tim Burton's remake... and an entirely different story.

After the movie I was sure he left some shit out, then watched old footage and realized his Alice and Wonderland is like a sequel to the original... Lame... I think he should have done a straight remake.. Oh well. Verdict is: DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ... Brooklyn's Finest is out, The Crazies is out, and Shutter Island is out ... go see one of those movies and wait for Alice and Wonderland to come out on DVD. Here's something better:



I have to say Tim disappointed me with the "Remake" ... thanks Tim, no wonder he wanted it to come out on DVD sooner...

HUMAN BEINGS

P.S.

It was actually harder to find videos of John F. Kennedy speaking than it was to find videos of him being shot...



He talks about justice a lot... Makes me think about our current Judicial system...

WHAT HAPPENED TO HEROES??

I remember when I was a kid and it seemed like there were so many people fighting for me in the world. Now I kinda feel like everyone is just a zombie ... educate yourselves please

FC Porto

Today I played against Barcelona ... They are 5th place in the league... I am in the bottom three, and if I do not move out of the bottom 3 of the league then next season I will fall to Division 2 , but today I beat Barcelona 4 -1 !!! My man Sektioui scored 3 fuckin goals !!! I was mad surprised... especially since he is 32 yrs old and rate 85 ! He is a player I wrote down to sell after the season ends... He really saved my ass today! my new guy Dindane came through with one goal too. I haven't been playin Sektioui, but I threw him in and he prevailed... my next game is March 7th against Man. United... I see they lost to Chelsea 3 - 1 and since I beat Chelsea I hope to beat Man. United as well... I think these bigger teams are playin more relaxed cuz it's late in the season and they already secured their spot in Div 1 for next season

So the game works on a point system. You win and you get 3 points, tie you get 1, lose you get 0... I am 2 points behind the team above me, and 5 behind the second team above me. If I can keep winning, and they lose, then I will make my way out of the lower three!

I'm gonna play my new South African defender in the next game in hope he can help stop Man. United's offense, and I'm gonna let Sektioui rock the whole game since he did so well against Barcelona !

Take the Cannoli

I think I will grow up to be like this guy:

BROOKLYN'S FINEST

A guy from Brooklyn College wrote this:

FC Porto

An offer for 4 mill and change was made to me today for one of my injured defenders that I don't even like that much... so I sold him and bought a new defender... same age (28) and a tiny bit better from South Africa for 6mill, he doesn't play for a club, but does play for the South African National team... Gotta have at least one South African on the team right? Hopefully He will perform well... my defense hasn't had so much trouble lately, We'll see what happens when we play Man. United...

JOBS

went to a job interview today.... we'll see what happens.... right now i'm listening to J Electronica... If you heard of him it was probably from Exhibit C on the Radio:




If you haven't heard of him YOU SHOULD CHECK HIM OUT... I'm hyped on his shit, start at exhibit A:

FILM

I didn't do anything interesting today , but I was the AC for a short film a while back, and we decided to record the actor singing a disney song cuz he always was when we weren't doing shit.



it's pretty funny

Soccermanager.com

Well my team FC Porto tied Racing Santander 0 - 0 ... i'm pretty bummed.. i picked up this team while it is in the bottom three of Division 1 and if we don't get out of the bottom three we will drop to Division 2 next season. I got about 10 games to make a turn around.

My new player Dindane from Division 2 did well last game but couldn't put anything away. We're playing Barcelona next and they are 5th place in the league so I'm hoping we at least tie!!! or for Dindane to wake up and do something

The game is Thursday.

TAXES

gonna do my taxes today foo !

Bad Day

If your having a bad day, remember some people got it worse. Mike Tyson says he wakes up every morning feeling like someone stomped on his head and his testicles

FC Porto

Ight So I got a new player Aruna Dindane !! He cost me 6 million pounds , but he's the top scorer for the top team in division 2... see if he can make some magic happen for me in division one. he's 29, but hopefully he'll make something of himself for the next two years namean?

Soccermanager.com FOO

Yooo so I'm playin this game on www.Soccermanager.com ... it's free and you manage any real soccer team in different leagues around the world. It's a little confusing to figure out at first so i just clicked mad shit after i signed up and ended up managing FC Porto in Division 1. We play in the same Division as Man. United and Arsenal and shit. My team is from Portugal and we played our first game under my management against Chelsea today. I thought we would lose, but we WON two nill foo!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yo you should sign up for free and play your team against mine and lose... i know all you bastards are bored and on facebook play stupid shit like farmville well man up and manage a soccer team!

Shutter Island

Saw Shutter Island today... definitely ended Waaaaaay differently than i expected. Would you rather live as a monster or die a good man?
