WEDNESDAY 5/30:

back from sheekago...back at work

chicago=new york prices but not new york...so i'm broke, wet and tired. i know what g\dogs in alaska feel like.

okayplayers are always cool in person...it's when they hide behind their screen names that problems ensue...it was fun seeing people and acting a fool...

weed brownies no mo!!!

this year's (re)union was lacking in the amount of free shit to do. if you weren't sporting breasts (and not man tittties) you were paying for the club and your drinks..

the hotel staff were run by nazis...

a lot of pimp dressing mofos in shheekago

in other news...

...how the FUCK do you get blown out three of the four games in the playoffs, especially when you are the number 1 seed? huh, San Antonio? What the fuck happened there? When Derek Fisher outscores Tim Duncan...it's time to go to church.

...how did the Bucks almost lose to an Allen Iverson-less Sixers team on Saturday? Man, if that's how they are playing, they ain't winning shit. I don't want the Bucks to win, if anything, because I don't want to see anymore post game interviews with Sam Casssell. Fucking Insecticon-looking muhfukka.

...I saw Requiem for a Dream () last night on DVD. Whoa! Without a doubt, this was the scariest non-horror file I ever saw...If Arronofsky directs the next Batman film, I will be a believer again.

FRIDAY 5/25

time to roll out to shheekaaagooo © martin payne

~in honor of rob gordon, one of my top 5 all-time favorite characters from a book or movie...

Volume 1 for her...

feel free to take notes...

THURSDAY 5/24:

i've been wondering...what happens when two mirrors of equal height and width are facing one another...what do they reflect? is it possible to see what is going on without runing the dynaamic...hmm.

it's funny. you have all these pre-conceived notions about what being in a relationship entails and then, when you are in one, it's the little things that get you....like holding hands...little looks...shared jokes...things you think you can probably do with anyone else but you really can't...

okayplayer (re)union @ chicago is coming up. so much has changed since i bought my ticket...can't say that i would have gone if i had the chance to redo it...

i need to add and remove CDs and Movies from my lists...it's been awhile.

you know what's fucked up, how is Puffy gonna record and, after being found not guilty, release a song where he goes "...not guilty..." and NOT put Shyne on that shit. That there is shady, my friend. Who knows how long ago he recorded the song but that's a sign that Shyne had been cut loose...he ain't in the video for that Carl Thomas/Faith Evans song...like Shyne didn't even happen...loyalty

TUESDAY 5/22:

first things first...

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DO NOT SEE A KNIGHT'S TALE!!!!
i am still traumatized. i would give it 0 stars but i left with my companion halfway through that shite. how can you make jousting boring and predictable? throw in rock music.

i know i haven't updated in a bit but i promise i will spill soon enough...

-thank God Allen Iverson won MVP. u tell me anyone who is more exciting to watch than A.I. and i will call you a fucking liar. i think iverson will finish his career (which i predict will be cut prematurely short by a flagrant foul that will leave him unable to do what he does best) as the second most exciting player in NBA history behind Jordan. Kobe's game is pretty but Iverson...that's art.

-i'm gonna answer a long standing question for my five female readers left:

"why can't guys commit?"

easy. the reason some guys can't commit a relationship is they are always thinking about what else they can be doing. like when women are having unpleasurable sex and start drifitng into thoughts about the sale at Macy's tomorrow, that's how some guys view relationships.

"one foot out the door"

"keeping my options open"

whatever you wanna call it...that's it.

usually they have a link to the "other options" like a friend who has like three girlfriends and is loving every minute of it or a crew of "fuck dem bitches" types. but they always remind them that while what you have is sweet, i could be this muhhfukka right here. i could be knee deep in pussy. if i could get you i could other chicks too.

you don't wanna miss anything...but in the end, you lose alot. then you become of those sucka ass fools who a girl calls her best friend about:

"gurrrrrl, guess who called me? yup, him. said he's been doing some thinking and realizes he made a mistake...uh huh, girl....well i told him that's too bad. i've moved on..."

i didn't write what the best friend is saying becuase it's mostly laughter...

coming up next: melanism visits chicago. illnois secedes from the U.S. shortly thereafter

just to put my world in perspective...

SUNDAY 5/13

love makes you want to be a better person of sorts...

as of today, i let go all my grudges....

no more snippy comments...

no more banned from seeing me online...

no more ignoring your presence in public...

i ain't gonna go out of my way to say "hi" to you and what not but i ain't gonna try and show my displeasure with your existence...

THURSDAY 5/10:

i saw the mummy returns last night ()...i'm still looking for the plot. suimmer is here...the mindless movies have arrived. is there a reason you can't have great (but overdone) special effects AND a good plot. if i had a dollar every time a returning character said something about how "this feels familar" and "not again"...i might have gotten me and my friend our money back.

there is only ONE movie i want to see this summer
snootch to the muthaphuckin' nootch!!!

i have a lot i could say about the past few day but i will say this:

I love you, you love me.
Going down the sugar tree.
We'll go down the sugar tree,
And see lots of bees: playing, playing.
But the bees won't sting,
because you love me.

-reed rothchild: boogie nights

(no particular reason i just thought that shit was funny...)

p.s: i found her...

MONDAY 5/7:

what a weekend!

~ happy birthday, starshine! when are we having a margarita party, boo?

-let us give a hearty melanism.com "get the fuck out of my car" to haviland savage. i hope your dream comes true and you get to be one of the chicks who gets played out on a jay-z skit on the next album,

here's to dreaming...

-i went to my ex-girlfriend's wedding yestderday...a couple of notes

*suit jacket: $75
*pants: $35
*shirt: $9
*tie: $14
*length of wedding: 30 minutes!!!

somebody should have told me

she was beautiful in her gown. i don't think anyone who is happy on their wedding day can be any less than beautiful--tacky maybe--but beautiful definately.

30 minutes

damn

i wanna get married...

my wedding will have the following (if my wife is cool as me)

1) a female best "person" (two front runners...they would have to wear a tux or a black dress)

2) i want a prince cover band for the reception. they have to cover prince & the revolution, the time, sheila e. and vanity 6 ("nasty girl" will be played...sorry baby-to-be)...of course the song performed will be controlled...don't want "darling nikki" played unless my wife's name is nikki and i'm not fond of my new in-laws.

3) instead of the electric slide, batdance and harlem shuffle...get the fuck up-BATMAN!

just some ideas i have been throwing around the offices of melanism.com

-the knicks suck. nothing else has to be said.

-i have a new friend and she makes me happy...nothing else has to be said

-the sith pimp returns with his review of janet jackson's new album, all for you.

DVS update: rollo tomasi spits on those name dropping chicks...

THURSDAY 5/3:

"in an interstellear burst
i am back to save the universe"
--radiohead: "airbag"

hello, my ten loyal vistors (i had fifteen but they feel they know enough about me so now it is just you ten). sorry i have been away for what seems like ages...my boss, louis cypher, has been in the office all day and at night, i was having fun i didn't have time to write about...

-nothing is better than feeling something for someone and having it felt back for you...if only for a second. too bad melanism's timing sucks like the white rabbit from Alice In Wonderland. but i am content with that

because "it was all yellow"

-61*
the best baseball movie i ever saw (all though Pride of the Yankees has a special place in my blood pump)

-i guess this is for my east coast heaads (both of you): i went to great adventure this past sunday and my friend, fuzzy, and I went on the new ride, nitro...

"oh my damn" © k.a. wright

30 foot muuuhphuckin drop!

don't eat before you go on it. make that your empty stomach ride. you are just praying the drop will end

-this sunday is my ex-girlfriend's wedding. i need a suit like now. my scoleosis combined with working out has rendered my old suit useless. i haven't been to a non-relative wedding before this should be interesting.

maybe i should raise my hand when they ask if anyone sees why these two should be wedded inholy matrimony. not because i have a reason of anything, but i think more weddings could use this interuption. kinda like an intermission.

besides most people have never been to a wedding where that has happened. only on tv. i would take one for the team so everyone in attendence has a story to tell on monday.

(lee, if you are reading this, i am just kidding)
