Any street with "Bourbon" in it's name can't be good!
Man oh man, I can’t believe that it is Friday already! It also blows my mind that one week ago, I was drinking on the infamous Bourbon Street. The last time I was in New Orleans was for Super Bowl XX (Roman numerals for 20). Which would have made me 4 years old approximately. Just a year or two shy of the drinking age. However last week made me realize what the hell New Orleans is all about. A few friends and I went to check out the scene commonly known for its debauchery. Let me tell you that we attempted to drink that city dry. If you have never been then I would highly recommend that you do not attempt to outdrink the city. If you have been then you know what the hell I am talking about. New Orleans is a drinker’s dream and an alcoholics anonymous member’s worst nightmare. New Orleans is a place where it is customary to see people passed out by 10 o’clock in the morning. I am not talking about homeless people either. It is a place that isn’t exactly the cleanest place to visit. The streets have seen its fair share of piss, urine, and any other bodily fluids. New Orleans is not the vacation destination to go get some fresh air. Now don’t get me wrong New Orleans (NO) has its positives as well. Probably one of the biggest for me was the food. Oh me! Oh my! You talk about some good eating down there. As a fan of food (you may have noticed), I indulged in some phenomenal crag legs, gumbo, jambalaya, red beans and rice, and hell even homemade bread pudding. After the food, I would say that it is a close tie between walking with beverages and all the music. I have been to a few places where it is ok to walk around with an open container. I must say that it takes some getting use to. For example, we were hanging out in one bar and was about to head to the next. So I did what anybody from Orlando would do! I proceeded to pound the drink. Thinking that I would be flagged for alcohol abuse by leaving my drink at the bar. Well me being the dumbass that I am didn’t remember that I could’ve have brought the drink with me. So after the first night of puking (which I still am feeling), I became a fast learner. Now I have to caution you about NO. It is definitely a place where you cannot stray off the beaten path. In addition to that, you definitely don’t want to pop off to the wrong person either. And always always keep your wallet in your front pocket. Oh the other thing that I just remembered is that it is ok to check for an adams apple on women. If “she” is several inches taller and caked out with makeup then umm… You might want to leave “her” alone.
Well it is time for me to go! My liver was starting to have flashbacks while I was writing this.
I give the Big Easy
One more warning about New Orleans… If you drink to the point where you might pass out, please make sure that you are sitting down. It isn’t pretty when you hear about someone passing out standing up and collapsing on the hard concrete of Bourbon St.
As an avid fan of video games, I often am amazed on how video games have evolved over time. When I was little, the big craze was Atari and Nintendo. Most video game enthusiasts may even remember consoles such as Vectrex or Intellivision. I am sure if you ask your parents about video games, they will tell you about Pong or Pac Man. My parents are the reason why I am such a video game junkie. They had me at a very young age and didn’t have the luxury of having a babysitter. So they would bring me on their dates. Apparently their favorite date destination was the arcade. I of course do not remember this but I have been told this story a time or two (too many times). Now as a child of the 80′s, I was a huge Nintendo fan. Nintendo (NES) was the sh*t when I was growing up. Playing games like Duck Hunt, Super Mario 1-3, Double Dribble, Excitebike, and a sh*t ton more! Nintendo was certainly ahead of its time. But as time goes on you start to realize that the next major system is definitely ahead of its time. Hell, I have seen my share of gaming consoles. Such as: Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Genesis, TurboGrafx 16, NeoGeo, Nintendo64, Sega CD, Sega Saturn, Playstation 1-3, Nintendo Wii Xbox, Xbox 360, and you get my point. All of which when they were released boasted the best graphics and were defined as technological breakthroughs. Until I saw something that clearly is way beyond its time. I had overheard from a co-worker of mine about this gaming breakthrough. So as any fan would do, I went to the internet in search of answers. When I found them, I pretty much orgasmed in my pants. I would like to introduce you to the future! And its name is Project Natal (pronounced nuh-tall). My description can’t even do this remarkable piece of technology justice. So I thought that the logical thing to do would be to post up a YouTube video. If Microsoft can achieve 50% of what is featured in this advertisement, I would have a new found man crush on Bill Gates and Microsoft. Please enjoy the video!!
K. Chea with his funny ass submission. Speech Speech Speech!! C’mon Chea, the floor is yours!! Dracula Musical Wooo!! (Forgetting Sarah Marshall Reference). I would like to thank everybody for their submissions. I am glad more than one person played the game this time. I will have another contest very soon. Check back.
Every year my friends and I gather in Centerville, MA (near Hyannis) for a Memorial Day weekend party! Every year, we manage to have a few cocktails/beers and gather around and talk about today’s hot subjects. Topics such as Obama’s Supreme Court pick, the current economic climate, and foreign policy. However, this year we managed to discuss a very key and critical topic. My intelligent friend Manny decides to ask the burning question… “What does a douche bag look like?” Manny’s deep question spurned on a debate for the ages. I thought it was very poetic hearing young Manny deliver a speech like he was Socrates or Plato. ”Is it like a bag that powder comes out of!” Sir Manny your words were so eloquently chosen. I even heard someone chime in with “like a rosin bag that pitchers use!” At this point everybody was speechless as they were yearning for more. Hanging on to Manny’s every word. Since I have been back home, I have been spending many countless hours researching and trying to find an answer to Manny’s burning question. Until today when I made the most prolific discovery mankind truly has ever known. I found what a douche bag looks like. So without further delay, I present to you a picture of a douche bag!
So just when I thought Nike was done… Wham they hit me with two more funny ass Kobe & Lebron commercials!! Although I am very curious to see what they do if Lebron gets eliminated by the Magic?? Calm down Magic fans, we are not going to see a Dwight Howard puppet. Last time I checked he is with Adidas. Maybe what they will do is show Lebron moving out and Rashard Lewis moving in?? Oh wait how about Lebron receiving counseling from Charles Barkley?? Oh man that would be awesome! Well anyways here are the two latest commercials.. Check them out!!!
I have to talk about this subject because I am tired of hearing about it! All that people can talk about here in Orlando is how the NBA officials are trying to cheat Orlando out of the finals. The buzz here is that it is so blatantly obvious this.. and conspiracy that.. Believe me, I am a “Witness” to Lebron James getting all the calls. But if I recall correctly that Orlando is ahead 3-1 in the series. So what is the big deal? No matter how many calls Lebron gets doesn’t mean the Cavs will walk away with a W! If you really have watched the entire playoffs you would notice that the refs are guilty of calling it close to make the playoffs interesting. Plus it is very tough on the refs not to call fouls for Lebron when he touches the ball probably 80-90% of the time. Does that mean he deserves the call each time? No. But he pushes the envelope by taking the ball to the basket. I am not defending the refs by any means but the Magic make it very difficult for the refs to call fouls for them when they shoot 38 three pointers. As a Celtics fan living in Orlando, I grow tired of hearing excuses. I watched the series between Boston and Orlando and was disgusted with the officiating. But not once did I complain. Especially when Dwight Howard was lowering his shoulder every time leading to the C’s big men getting in foul trouble. The Magic beat the Celtics and that is that. As a person secretly cheering for Orlando, I grow tired of all the complaining. It isn’t necessary because your team is one win away from the NBA finals. The officiating is always going to be inconsistent. The stars will always get the calls. It is what it is! I wonder if Denver fans are whining about Kobe getting all the calls?? Oh by the way… Nobody seemed to care when another player who wore #23 got all the calls!! I wonder why that is??
As a black man with rhythm, I often enjoy the attempts at dancing by white people. I know that most of you cannot help it but hey you can’t blame me for laughing!! Just like you white people like to poke fun at the fact that black people don’t like the water. Every race has their thing. But anyways, I thought I would share this video with all of my readers out there. Some of you may have already seen it. Most of you probably have not. Either way enjoy!
