News and Notes...

So I haven’t posted anything in a while, mostly due to being extremely busy and lazy. Anyhow here’s a sampling things that I’ve currently been pondering.

- So for those of you that don’t know there’s suppose to be a massive one day strike Monday in Tucson (or as we like to call it T-Town) to protest new immigration laws. There’s even suppose to be a march somewhere in the city. People from all walks of life will either call in sick or walk out of work to join the protest. I personally think this is a brilliant idea. To show our government how much we want illegal immigrants to stay, we’re going to great length to show the powers that be that we can be just as lazy as these immigrants are. Also it should be noted that a walk-out loses most of it’s strength when everyone already knows about it. Just a great job all around.
- Start getting excited about the new Built to Spill album coming out this year. I have a leaked version, which is also laced so that every 30 seconds Mike Jones asks us: Who is Mike Jones? And while some songs may not be as good with out the Mike Jones lacing, this album is going to be great. So seriously, get excited.

- You heard it hear first, this Lebron James kid could be something special.
- Speaking of Lebron and the NBA, there’s a huge debate over who should be the MVP this year. The candidates are Lebron, Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant, Dwayne Wade, Dirk Nowitzki and Chauncey Billups. All of these candidates have there flaws, Lebron’s team isn’t good enough. As of late Nash’s team is making game deciding runs with him on the bench. Dirk would be my choice for MVP, except for the fact that Jason Terry and Jerry Stackhouse are the ones taking all the big shots for the Mavericks this year. Dwayne Wade is great, but when Shaq’s on your team, even old run-down Shaq, you’re not the league’s MVP. Kobe has passed the ball exactly 26 times this season, so he’s out. Which brings us to Chauncey Billups, whose MVP canidancy makes this award the biggest f*cking joke ever. First off anyone who watches the Pistons knows two things, one: it’s all about the team game with them, and two: Chauncey is the worst defender on the team. Also take into account that Rasheed Wallace is the Pistons MVP and you’ll begin to figure out why I almost vomit every time Chauncey’s name is mention for MVP. So who is this years MVP, my vote would be for a split, between Lebron and Paul Pierce. Yes I know the Celtics suck, but no one in the league has played better this year then Pierce. I don’t even like the guy, but he deserves some recognition for how amazing he’s been this year. And well Lebron is just better then everyone else, so he also deserves it.
- Some say Hell has no flames, just a front row seat to watch your true love pack her things and go. I would argue the hell indeed has no flames, but instead of watching your true love leave, you instead watch the entire Wayans Brother’s filmography for all of eternity.
- On my last trip to the Casino I made over 250 dollars. I use to think I had a gambling problem, but as it turns out I have a gambling solution.
- I’m not sure I can wait until it’s out on DVD, I need to see FD3 now!!!!
- The Southland – Influence of Geography is my musical recommendation of the week.
- Speaking of music, it’s great to have Shawn Mullins back on the airwaves.
- Was I the only one that found it odd that a month after I asked where Josh Hartnet had gone, Luck Number Sleven comes out? Coincedecne, I think not. This here blog has some serious clout.
- On a similar note f*ck this film, as it will eventually make sleven a catchphrase.

Well that’s all for today. I’ll catch you on the up ‘n up.

Until We Meet Again.
