FEBRUARY 26:

Sorry, I haven't been updating. There is a lot I wanna do with the site and shit but looking for a job has taken up most of my online time.

Let's see...how can I not start with Raw.Kelly...I mean R. Kelly. Man, is this guy fucked! He has ruined "The Best of Both Worlds" album for it. I can't listen to him without thinking about what he did with them young jawns. On top of that, the last track of the Jay-Z/R.Kelly collabo is a solo by R. Kelly entitled "Come to Daddy". He is a nasty bastard. I bet Aaliyah's spirit (God Bless Her Soul) sent that tape to the Chicago Tribune. I was on 125th last night and surer than shit last night, there were guys selling the "Raw Kelly" videotape. Sigh. Wasn't this guy talking about doiing a gospel album a few years back? The sad thing is that everybody knew (in the industryu). This isn't the first case he caught but the rest (aside from the Aaliyah fiasco), the rest were on the low...but whatever. He's a nasty bastard. I hope they burn him and anyone else who does shit like this...


FEBRUARY 7:

Before I get into a recap of what you have missed (or what I negelcted to talk about)...

If you ever want to know The Mystery of Brittany Spears' Breasts, click here and look no further (requires Flash and a sound card)!

Soooo what has been going on with your ole' buddy Melanism:

-Well, I still don't have a job. I have been looking and had a couple of uneventful interviews but nothing is happening. I think what I am going to have to do is get another admin. asst. gig and use the money to pay for computer classes. I would just take a loan but I am already paying back two from NYU and don't need another fucking one. I must say, I'm strugglin and not just with bills (I got more past due notices than James from "Good Times". It's hard not being able to buy what I want when I want it. I'm like Carrie from "Sex and the City" except her weakness is just shoes. Mine range from comics to DVDs. GOD YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT'S BEEN SINCE I BOUGHT A DVD!?! I still buy comics on the regular. Sigh. I don't want to just take a job because I need a job but....I need a job.

PLUS, Valentine's Day is approaching. I can't help thinking to myself what I would be getting and doing for my girlfriend if I had a job and some money. I know things like that don't matter to her (one of the many reasons I love her) but still, it's things I would want to do.

-I know the Yankees lost the World Series. But you look at our team right now with Giambi and Wells and you tell me that we are gonna lose next year. HAHAHA. What are you saying? The Mets? Fuck the Mets. Sure theor lineup is ugly but they have like two good pitchers. They better be scoring 10 runs a game. Mark my words: The Mets will lead the league in strikeouts.

-Rollo Tomasi of DVS told you that the Knicks were gonna suck...was he wrong?

-I was watching 20/20 on they were talking about why most rape cases don't get solved. To do a DNA test and shi (known as a rape kit), it costs the police about $500 dollars to do and they can't affords to do that test every single time so there are tens of thousands of unexamined DNA evidence from rapes because of $500. Hmm. $500 dollars doesn't seem like a lot. Don't ytou think if the police told you "If you can get $500, we can probably catch the guy who raped you/your loved one", wouldn't you get the $500 dollars. Personally, I think that's what the police should do. If they can't afford, tell the victim or their family and maybe they can get the money together personally or through donations. But knowing our society, cops would over charge and keep the difference...fucked up ain't it.

-F2's father unexpectedly passed in the beginning of January. Makes you think...well, it made ME think (amongst other things) about how you want to be buried and who you want at your funeral. I am making sure that the number of every person I care about is in my phone and my Palm Pilot. You never know when someone is gonna have to track them down to pass some bad news along. Funerals for the living not for the deceased. Never forget.

Okay, I think I am gonna go to the store and buy a DVD or something.

SITE UPDATE: More links and more music added. Have fun.


FEBRUARY 4

I'm baaaack!

I can't believe the Rams lost the Super Bowl. It's like I was telling F2, the only final in a sport that you can really bet on is the NBA Finals. The team that's supposed to win usually does. The Super Bowl, it's any given sunday...I bet alot of people lost money on that game.

Anyway, before I get into the going on-s of this year let me belatedly recap last year.

(in no particular order)

Best albums I bought (downloaded and copied album don't count):

1: Jay-Z: Blueprint
2: Res: How I Do
3: Radiohead: Amnesiac
4: Dungeon Family: Even in Darkness...
5: Bilal: 1st Born Second
6: Jill Scott: Experience: Jill Scott
7: Tenacious D: Tenacious D
8: Maxwell: Now
9: Prince: The Rainbow Children
10: "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" soundtrack

Most overrated album I bought (guess?):

Alicia Keys: Songs in A Minor

Comments on thr Jay-Z and Nas beef:

Well, I'm sorry saved a rather boring year in hip-hop. Even if you didn't care, you did. Despite the lashing in Nas' "Ether", I still think Jay-Z won...even though the streets don't see it that way. "Ether" had too much "faggot" talk in it while "Takeover" was concise and 99% true. Nas got a couple of points in there but most of it was "you're gay" and "you're crew is gay" and "you're ugly". It sounded childish. "Super Ugly", Jay-Z's mixtape comeback, was out of line--calling Nas' baby's mom out like that--it was still kinda funny.

Best movies I saw in 2001:

1: Hedwig and The Angry Inch
2: The Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings
3: Memento
4: Shrek
5: Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
6: Ghost World
7: Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone
8: The Royal Tenembaums
9: Pollack
10: Monster's Inc.

The Most Overrated Movie I Saw:

Moulin Rouge (I fell asleep)

Movie I Walked Out of It Was So Bad:

A Knight's Tale

Movie I Wish I Saw:

Training Day

Next time...I'll update you on me.

By the way: The poll for the name I should put on the back of my jersey is over:

"Melanism": 69%
"Me": "31%

So when I get a job, I'll treat myself to a jersey with Melanism on the back. I just have to pick a team first.
