oh there was also an NBA Pre Season game at the GM PLace:
this view summarizes it all very well. a lifeless basketball game without any meaning.
this is the one about life, family and friends, the one that i constantly struggle to be honest with even with myself and i know for a fact only few great people in my life have heard me talk about such things.
i want to share this with the world yet my personality is trying to stay true to itself.
Normally, only masterworks appear. And usually the writer spends his time demonstrating why serious painting is more complex and genuine, more sincere and more profound, then the kinds of pictures most people like when they're not pretending to be 'cultured'.
But it does not necessarily follow that one should always prefer what is more complex, genuine, sincere, and profound. Those of us who spend our lives concerned with the arts usually do not like what is commonplace or simple, and is natural. The true sports fan is bored by routine performance; he is fascinated by the exceptional. The professional mathematician would go mad had he nothing to do but routine applications of the calculus. The more we know of a thing the less concerned we are with its ordinary manifestations.
Similarly, when one knows very little about a subject one is apt to like what is most familiar and to be impressed with what seems difficult. As it happens, what is most familiar is quite often mediocre, and what a layman considers remarkable a professional would look upon as routine.

In the year 2009 i finally come to realize and appreciate how good Jay-Z is. He only gets better with each album. Every song from his latest album is a hit song with such good beats.
So i finally got around to watching this movie after recording it on my PVR for some three to five times and needeing space for other things and having to delete it.
Although the title of the movie has nothing to do with the actual story, but then maybe i am just not intelligent enough to figure it out. Great movie none the less. Very good acting all around. A lot of life lessons about love, friendships and much more.

also it only punctuates more on how beautiful she is in the way she moves, the way she talks and caries herself:
Oh, and even Erykah Badu has a good role is this and this song fits well with it:
Have to wait for Common in the 'New Jersey' jersey on the big screen coming within next year or so:
" Why don't black people need mosquito repellent at night?"
Ian Su, Noel, Leon, Patrik, ViC abd Eric. Sunday night chilling. A lot of Bananas by Steves Elementary School Safeway. Single box of 'sundae' ice cream. Prop bet vs Noel. 10% of body mass by September 1, 2010. 50$ wager. Noel was the man, because he did not try to rip me off on the bet, when he so could have done so and he even explained it to me. Dazed and Confused. What an odd movie for me to randomly record on the PVR. Self note on Ian's birthday ot pay for his PVR box so the man can enjoy his TV better. ViC are a little bit too much for his body. Even he knew it and Noel noticed and told us.
listen to the song being played and read the captions:
WTF?!?
"This is a very intelligent Paki, at least he did not kill himself in the name of Allah!! Peeps have asked how he got in? He followed in after a bunch of people who were entering, did not realize the door is Automatic. Once he was in here, it had a different exit from his cave that he is used too. ALLAH AKBARRR!! "
".....He could not wait to get to the 72 virgins on the other side. He thought he was heading to Muslim Paradise!!!"
The guy is clearly insane. Because: a sane person would have stepped closer to the door to examine it (where it would have opened) AND/OR a sane person would have asked others how to open that "magic door".
He is that insane, to rather ram his head into the door than to ask another person.

Such an intellectually funny movie about the truths of life and relationships.
[In California] Annie Hall: It's so clean out here. Alvy Singer: That's because they don't throw their garbage away, they turn it into television shows.
[Annie wants to smoke marijuana before sex] Alvy Singer: Yeah, grass, right? The illusion that it will make a white woman more like Billie Holiday. Annie Hall: Well, have you ever made love high? Alvy Singer: Me? No. I - I, you know, If I have grass or alcohol or anything, I get unbearably wonderful. I get too, too wonderful for words. I don't know why you have to get high every time we make love. Annie Hall: It relaxes me. Alvy Singer: You have to be artificially relaxed before we can go to bed? Annie Hall: Well, what's the difference anyway? Alvy Singer: Well, I'll give you a shot of sodium pentathol. You can sleep through it. Annie Hall: Oh come on. Look who's talking. You've been seeing a psychiatrist for 15 years. You should smoke some of this. You'd be off the couch in no time
Alvy Singer: It's mental masturbation! Annie Hall: And you would know all about THAT, wouldn't you? Alvy Singer: Hey, don't knock masturbation! It's sex with someone I love.
[Alvy is asked to try cocaine] Alvy Singer: I don't want to put a wad of white powder in my nose. There's the nasal membrane... Annie Hall: You never want to try anything new, Alvy. Alvy Singer: How can you say that? Whose idea was it? I said that you, I and that girl from your acting class should sleep together in a threesome. Annie Hall: Well, that's sick. Alvy Singer: Yeah, I know it's sick, but it's new. You didn't say it couldn't be sick.
[Alvy and Annie are seeing their therapists at the same time on a split screen] Alvy Singer's Therapist: How often do you sleep together? Annie Hall's Therapist: Do you have sex often? Alvy Singer: [lamenting] Hardly ever. Maybe three times a week. Annie Hall: [annoyed] Constantly. I'd say three times a week.
He is that insane, to rather ram his head into the door than to ask another person.
