Marina, Marina, Marina....I love you so but this album was not what I was expecting. I think its the fact that I enjoyed The Family Jewels so much that I wanted almost exactly the same but slightly different. Shame on me right its still a good album though, I definitely need to give it another listen. For people that never heard of her before I suggest listening to The Family Jewels first to warm up to this, or if you like Lana Del Rey you will probably like Marina their music is similar. If you already know of Marina then I assure you its still worth the purchase, I for my own weird reasoning is just not fully into it just yet. I felt like the pop feel to it was taking to another level & not in a good way.

Her album is officially available in the U.S. today !
2012 NBA PLAYOFF 1ST ROUND PREDICTIONS
Chicago Bulls Vs. Philadelphia 76ers = Chicago Bulls
Miami Heat Vs. New York Knicks = Miami Heat
Indiana Pacers Vs. Orlando Magic = Indiana Pacers
Boston Celtics Vs. Atlanta Hawks = Boston Celtics
San Antonio Spurs Vs. Utah Jazz = San Antonio Spurs
Oklahoma City Thunder Vs. Dallas Mavericks = Oklahoma City Thunder
Los Angeles Lakers Vs. Denver Nuggets = Los Angeles Lakers
Memphis Grizzlies Vs. Los Angeles Clippers = Los Angeles Clippers
Im upset my Thunder didnt clinch the number 1 seed & have the hardest road to the finals by assumption by having to play the mavericks first then possibly the lakers then possibly the spurs.
As much as I want them to win im a little iffy about this playoff run for them specially with that bullshit Ron Artest did to Harden.
Indiana was a surprise team to me, I knew they would be good but not 3rd seed good. Orlando doesnt have Howard so they will probably win that matchup.
Im also surprised the Bulls got the number one overall seed again with Rose missing damn near the whole season.
& sorry New York but the Knicks will not be getting out the first round yet again. They have the talent to make it an entertaining matchup & wear down the heat but they wont win.

FANTASY LEAGUE BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH UP
As I predicted my friends. I won the championship, with ease & with all the players that sat out or got hurt @ towards the end of the season I still was able to score more points than I did in my last matchup. Once again I have to thank Kevin Durant for leading my team to another victory, the most important one !

O-Red first round
Calicoe second round

MIXTAPE REVIEW - LIL' B "TRAPPED IN BASEDWORLD"
Honestly idk why the fuck I downloaded this mixtape. I was just looking at what came out today & saw his mixtape on the featured list & just said fuck it & pressed download. I actually listened to the whole thing & man he has some dope ass beats on basically every track but he fucking refuses to rap on beat!! lol & repeats a lot of his shit, along with saying suspect shit you dont want to repeat. But what is there to really expect from Lil' B the basedgod. Hes weird. If youre capable of tuning out nonsense & just rock to the beat then you MIGHT be able to tolerate this mixtape.

INSTAGRAM PROBLEMS
Oh the wonderful horrible world of instagram. Yes its a world of its own. Instagram is like twitter but with proof but the one of many failures on instagram is people actually thinking its twitter. Nobody cares how you feel, unless you can show how you feel with a picture, nobody cares what you have to say unless you can say it with a picture. TWEEGRAMS was a horrible invention. People want to post their damn random thoughts & be all in their feelings with tweegrams on instagram. Take that shit to twitter or a blog why are you so desperate to speak your damn mind on just any platform. AND WHY wont people leave the fucking pound signs on twitter ? Pound signs are not making your life or picture any more interesting. What are you trying to accomplish with a bazillion hash tags for every word ?
Then you have the thirst. The thirst on instagram is unbelievable at times with all the body pictures, the I'm going to the gym but look at my booty in these tights pictures, the look at my legs in the bathtub pictures, the let me stand in the mirror & try to lowkey flex pictures, the oohh look I have tattoo's pictures, insta DM's, people @'n your name when they're already commenting your picture. I don't get how people don't understand that when you're commenting a persons picture you don't need to @ them they already see it & @'n them isn't going to make it show up bigger & brighter than any other comment.
Speaking of comments people also need to realize that when you're replying to a comment made on your picture you have to @ the person you're replying to so they can see it.
Improvements needed to be made is more filters, a mass editing option so that you can delete multiple pictures at once. Because having to start from the very top after every picture you delete is death.
A previous improvement that was despised by the iphone community was the addition of android phones having the instagram app. Most android users went on an adding spree adding everybody & their mama before they even put up a display picture of themselves SMH. I personally wasn't too bothered by the addition of android users, more followers & more likes for everybody but a lot of their pictures looks like shit, straight blurrfest.
Throwback Thursday is another fail on instagram People constantly posting pictures of their previously struggling selves SMH EVERY FUCKING WEEK.Then you have the strippers & prostitues that dont know how to take pictures of anything but their bodies, money & food lol but those are forever better than tweegrams. & I get everybody cant be some damn fake ass photographer trying to get pictures of a whole bunch of random stuff with weird ass angles to make the photo look good, theyre just living their life.
Speaking of photographers, why is it that almost all the pictures on the popular page are taken with fucking DSLR cameras & not iphones. they dont have anybody pre-screening those photos before they go on the popular page ?
Womp ! Then you have the people who treat instagram like its tumblr with all the random photos of women, men, the pictures with stuff written on them trying to be funny, all the pics of celebs & other random shit like WTF are you doing? Take that shit to tumblr. Why the fuck would I want to follow you on a place that's meant for photos from your iphone with you posting pictures of shit from the Internet that I already seen on tumblr ?
Oh did I mention the over use of screen caps? Every convo you have is not fucking golden! & taking picture of the time everyday ? Lame ! no matter who you have as your background. Screen caping 4:20, 11:11 & 10:17 is fucking lame.
But hey I didn't create instagram & I wasn't appointed the instagram rule maker so whatever. I'm just bitching, GOOD DAY =]

WEED BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER
With 4-20 just passing & seeing all the hype & happiness of smokers & occasional smokers I realized how easy it is for people to come together because of weed. I know so many people that only know each other because of weed. Weed is so inviting as well. Its so easy for someone to say lets smoke or when you're out & theres smokers there they all quickly bond over sharing a blunt. Lets get a session, somebody match one, all easy introductions into smoking with people. Alcohol doesn't exactly have that affect on people. Unlike weed you just cant drink anytime of the day with just anybody, people look at you crazy when you want to drink while theres daylight out, drinking is typically considered more expensive, specially if you're drinking while out somewhere. I cant text someone at 8 & be like come through and have a drink with me. Unless they're an alcoholic of course or at least borderline but I can hit someone up @ 7 am & be like come through & smoke a blunt & that would be reasonable.
Its also a tool to get closer to females. A guy will smoke up all his weed with a female he likes without her dropping a cent on it just so he can have that QT with her. Plus the after effects of alcohol is another reason why people aren't into drinking like that. Weed you just feel mellow, sleepy, hungry or whatever but not impaired to the point you cant do shit.

ALBUM REVIEW - E-40 "THE BLOCK BROCHURE: WELCOME TO THE SOIL 3
Yes E-40 really dropped 3 albums on the same day & honestly there was only a few songs from each album that should have been kept, which would have only equaled up to one album. I don't think keeping all the songs you recorded & putting them out there is a good thing, specially when the material isn't that good but I'm sure him & his camp thought it was satisfactory. This particular album of the three had 6 songs I like but no songs I remember. So to sum it up with that its not a good album.

DISCUSSIONS OF WOMEN
Big ass titties with no ass.
Its a horrible thing.
but beauty is always open for argument. Which is one of the reasons being a guy is tight because guys like to debate about the beauty of women. These debates can be very interesting at times.
Ladies ….best believe if you have a group of guy friends that are all cool they have all discussed your body, looks & if they would have sex with you at least 3 times. The guys at work have definitely talked about it. Fuck HR, guy code rules out HR. These conversations are impossible not to have because one of the guys will say something like:
“Her body is so nice”
“Id fuck the shit out of her”
& the most common “Would you fuck (insert her name)?”

JOB VS. SCHOOL
Our generation is constantly put at a crossroad between going to school & working. People like to think that if you go to school & get a degree you're just going to get an awesome job & live good. In reality people are realizing people with degrees aren't getting special treatment like they thought. Being a young adult there are things you want to do & a certain amount of freedom & independence you want to have but you really cant have that without money. Our generation has a neediness for having everything instantaneously, we don't want to wait another 5 or 10 yrs to get our shit together we want our career & all the money right away. That's when you get to the crossroads. Do I suffer with being broke & struggling in school so I can do what I want to do later on down the line or do I just start working now because I want to be living on my own, I want to have this, that & everything else. Its really hard when people around you, friends & associated went straight to work & you see all the nice things they have & all the things they're able to do & you cant because you're ass is stuck in school, being broke. Also there is the School Vs. Internship......people who skip school to intern at the company or in the field of work they want a career in are killing the people who decide to go to school because they are getting the experience people are looking for when you go into job interviews. Its cool you have a degree but what experience do you have or they hit you with "Ok, you have all these degrees. You're overqualified for this position. So its like damn which one do you do? School or internship ? School or work?
MIXTAPE REVIEW - CASEY VEGGIES "CUSTOMIZED GREATLY 3"
This was my first time ever giving Casey Veggies a thorough listen. Ive heard him on multiple features on other artist features & some verses I didnt like but the past couple tracks I've heard him on have been legit, so I said fuck it let me check out this CG3. & I must say I'm fucking with Veggies now. Got to respect a young'n on his shit & knows it. I didn't like every track, some songs had traces of the flow I heard a few months back & didn't like but the majority of it had that delivery with the beat that I had been hearing recently & liking. I'll be supporting Veggies next project for sure. If you never listened to Veggies before I think this mixtape is a good starter, you can start with this & move backwards if you insist on hearing his earlier shit.
ALBUM REVIEW - E-40 - THE BLOCK BROCHURE: WELCOME TO THE SOIL 2
I definitely like this disc better than disc 1. Had more solid beats & songs I wouldn't mind hearing again. I definitely cant fuck with songs from E-40 with RnB hooks on it. Soon as I would hear the RnB friendly beat Id skip through it some to hear it & instantly wouldn't like it. E-40 is the shit when he just raps on beats that knock.

ALBUM REVIEW - E-40 - THE BLOCK BROCHURE: WELCOME TO THE SOIL 1
Multiple sad faces. When I get an E-40 album im expecting to here tons of knockers, music that makes the subs smile but cd 1 did not have that & definitely doesnt stick to the theme of it being a block brochure. But cant expect artist to actually stick to a theme or idea. Titles are just titles these days. Its about what sounds good & not something with a meaning. Its 18 songs on the album & I liked 4. Of those 4 none of them had features.

ALBUM REVIEW - NICKI MINAJ - PINK FRIDAY: ROMAN RELOADED
Easily one of the worst albums I have ever heard from an artist. Yes one of the worst EVER. Nicki has ventured off into this pop, rave music lane & I cant fuck with it. I listened to the deluxe edition & hated every song but the songs with Rappers as the feature. & that's because those are the only songs she actually raps normal. All the other tracks shes singing, trying to keep a tune, raps are very watered down & meaningless on beats that could get play in a rave club somewhere. Sounds like some shit DJ Pauly D would be playing mixes with. Very disappointed with this album. Really wondering what her numbers are going to look like

MOVIE REVIEW - THE RAID: REDEMPTION
Im not exaggerating when I say this is the best action movie I have ever seen. If you thought Ong Bak was awesome, youre going to think this was made by the GOD. This is a step ahead of Ong Bak because it has the martial arts, guns & knives in the combat. It makes it so much more brutal seeing people blasted in the face & shot through floors.
The choreography in this film is flawless. The downer is that it is only playing in select theaters. Its also in subs but thats not a big deal, well at least not to me. If you get a chance go see it. This is an action/martial arts lovers dream !

MIXTAPE REVIEW - SHORT DAWG "MARCH MADNESS"
Horrible mixtape cover for a horrible mixtape. I expected so much more from Short. I want to see so more growth from him far as lyrics & rhyme schemes go. Its still very practical, simple, predictable, there isnt any lines that make you go oh shit. There isnt any songs on this mixtape you would want to hear over & over.
Skip this mixtape if you havent already.

MOVIE REVIEW - WRATH OF THE TITANS
Boring movie. It was the first time ive ever went to the movies and dosed off a few times. They tried to milk this by having a bunch of titans in it but its still a PG13 movie so the fight scenes arent as good as they could be & the story is basically the same as the first one. Youre half GOD half
human & you insist on living like a normal human & he gets his ass kicked the whole time but because he has HEART he never gives up & finds a way to win, womp womp, I would say dont go see this!
