a long time coming

alright...i'm back with a vengeance...

so, another weekend trip to sf and another great time...even if the world seemed to conspire against me & Peter on saturday...obviously any trip to sf is a good time but it was just not our day...a run down of the not-highlights:

• BART being delayed
• Meeeeeeeeechigan's saddest offensive performance ever...EVER
• the redonkulous fog
• too many ppl at the Prince vs. MJ party
• too much Prince music at the Prince vs. MJ party
• not enough MJ at the Prince vs. MJ party

yet we still had a good time. as u can see below, we were getting hyphy with our own lil' pre-party in the longest hall:
on to the weekend highlights:

• yummy Noodle Theory
• dope beats in the Puma store & a new hat
• Chinese food
• youtubing up! [One Republic, Soulja Boy, Gorilla Zoe, T.I., Shop Boyz and the like]
• Hyphy Juice! [too bad we didn't score any]
• MJ vs. Prince party [even if it was lame]
• Sparks in da club!
• the group of peeps doing the Thriller dance together
• breakfast by 'Los
• chillin wit da ladies
• takin out the trash
• free ride to BART...with the most complicated automatic moving seat ever
• the shoes below [obviously the MJ shoes are the best...but still]
  

i could go on for days about sf...but that'd be lame. there are pics from da party on the flickr page so be sure to check 'em out!

i'm an old man...

i'm sitting here with a heating pad on my back. how sad is that? my back is all messed up and i don't know why. on top of that i'm still illin a little bit. oddly, i felt better all weekend long and then crashed last nite when i got home. hopefully another good nite's sleep will get me all better [and i also hope this sinus rinse jeremy recommended will help with the nose and cough issues of late].

it's funny how u can take being normal for granted. i've been taking some form of something since last wednesday nite to feel better (from cough syrup, to theraflu, to cough drops) and it's annoying to not feel drugged in some fashion. it's also no fun feeling sick in general. and my back hurting for the past couple days just adds to the not feeling normal at all. i can't wait to be back to normal and do my best to maintain that status.

oddly, i up and get sick after probably being a little healthier by exercising a bit more and eating more veggies. i'm telling u, veggies are bad for u! haha.

in other news...i've felt inspired to write lately but don't get around to it and then lose my thoughts, ideas, and what not. one thing i need to rant about is the MJ vs. Prince party. As I said to Peter, like communism, it was good in theory but not application.

first of all, why on earth would u let so many ppl into such a small space? u couldn't even dance, just stand there and get bumped into by others. um...it's Michael Jackson...his music inspires dance more than anyone else's and u're not gonna give us the space we need to bust a sweet groove...that's just wrong. wrong, i tell u...wrong!

second, how could u have such a party and rely so heavily on Prince's catalog of music? i respect Prince and everything...he's done some great things musically, even if it's not my personal flavor [mainly cuz i'm not into lameness]...but how the eff can a DJ play like 2, 3, or 4 Prince songs to every MJ song? first of all, how many great MJ songs are there? Rock With You, Billie Jean, Beat It, Smooth Criminal, Man in the Mirror, Thriller, Bad, Don't Stop Til You Get Enough, Black or White, The Way You Make Me Feel, You Rock My World, Dirty Diana, and P.Y.T. [the greatest song of all time]...among others. Seriously...how could u possibly sleep on MJ like that? when u add into the mix the great songs that are MJ related [songs by the Jackson 5 as well as Janet Jackson]...there's no way Prince songs could outnumber MJ songs.

my final and third point is the following: look at a dance floor when u play Prince and when u play MJ. as great as Prince may be [according to some], the dance floor does not rock out to the same extent that it does when my man Michael gets played.

as u can see...the event was flawed and i doubt i will ever go to another one, unless I'm DJ'ing the event and that will likely result in an MJ party, with Little Red Corvette thrown in at some point...maybe.

well, i should get my sleep on...and by get my sleep on i mean go and watch last week's episode of scrubs that i taped...woop woop! =]
