279: eye-candy Cane

It’s about time I blog about my wife. Two-hundred and seventy-nine entries later, all y’all meet the sexy and talented, “Isabel“…

The percentage of University students who go on to make a career at what they actually studied dives at a very low 34.7% in North America. The percentage that the percentage-accuracy of the previous phrase is bs, probably peeks in the high 80’s. With no correlation whatsoever to the first two sentences, forget your 20’s – for as Kanye’s ‘big brotha’ Jay-Z states, “30’s ARE the new 20’s.”

Confused? Don’t be.

Both Paola (I like to call her Isabel) and I studied Psychology in University. I went on to be a producer, dancer/choreographer, and graffiti artist. She, on the otherhand had much more success, capturing Miss Colombia in 1991, and moving on to become an Entertainment icon as an actress, spokesperson, producer and director, while gracing covers of magazines worldwide.

278: the Future is here

The long awaited debut of the future franchise goaltender for the Montreal Canadiens showcased his talent last night in Pittsburgh, as his 26-save performance lead to a 3-2 regulation win by the mighty Habitants over the Pens.

Carey Price was solid, square to the shooter at all times, and quiet calm, poised, and collected. Quite impressive to say the least for this young, 20 year old netminder, who lead the Hamilton Bulldogs last season to their first ever Calder Cup, while also capturing the Gold Medal with Team Canada at the World Junior Championships.

Interesting fact that retired Montreal legacies Patrick Roy and Ken Dryden both also made their NHL debuts with a win against the Penguins, in 1985 and 1971 respectively. Both times, the Habs went on to win the cup… even more interesting that Roy’s first game was played on Oct.10th, exactly 22 years ago. Was this a mastermind plan by Carbs and Bob all along – pinpointing yesterday, versus the Pens, as the game that the BC native would eventually make his NHL debut? Perhaps it was…

Mad propz and a big up holla to Familia THK: Sher, Sare, Lissa, Jubeyz, Lala, Lady H, JR, SB, Sexy B, Keisha, and tha boyz Prez, Morz, ‘n Mikko.

Let’s keep the Drive for 25 alive!

277: Good Morning…

Seriously, do yourselves a favour. Forget downloadin’ or rippin’ ‘n shit like that. Drop the $17.09 – and graduate. Kanye does it again.

276: say Sara, Sara…

Awww, poor Grissom… lonely and single once again.

Round 2 of contract negotiations seems like a knockout, as the only knockout on this crime scene says adios by mid-November. Reliable sources at E! Online and TV Guide have indicated that Jorja Fox (the foxy miss Sara Sidle on the original CSI) will end her sexy 7 year tenure after the 6th episode of the current season.

Say goodbye to the only celeb who was able to continue mad hot sex-appeal despite the gap between her central incisors.

275: hot abs, that’s about it

Emerg-booking! Rapido! Paris desperately needs a visit to Kay Michaels Salon NYC immediately! (no, that wasn’t a plug yo.) And make sure to stop off at the local Dolla-rama for some new shades, and a soda. (perhaps accidentally leaving Tinker-whatever-the-name-is/was there.) Multitask and dispose of white E-shades at the nearest trash can when opportunity arises.

Voila. Here she is. Takin’ in some sun at her latest Malibu beach fiesta over the weekend, complete with them so-not-sexy shades, unfortunate sidekick, and barnyard do. Alrighty then – easy and effortless when it comes to picking on the poor miss Hilton… this was not the point to number 275.

That would be her killer mid-sec. Yes, killer. Killer as in sexy, period. Too bad she scores a negative on everything else. Ok fine, she’s gettin’ there, for all you TSL fans – but I know you ain’t stupid thinkin’ them tactics are tha real deal.

274: This Yard was meant for Stompin’

All y’all know what I mean when I utter word combos in the likes of Beat Street, Flashdance, and Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo. Gone are the dayz we were treated to continued groovin’ a la awesomeness of the 80’s… until now.

This “Yard” ain’t even close to all them cheesy “dance” flicks of this era. You know, the ones with the lame and boring, predictable foundations coupled with semi-decent dance sequences and somewhat okay gear. Honey, lucky you had some good Alba-eyecandy and a respectable finale. Save the Last Dance… um, save it for – never. (why you ever did a sequel is beyond me.) Step Up… um, stay a while – then step down please. And without Omarion and, ah yes, Meagan Good y’all, You Got Served would’ve never been served. (sidenote: Chris Brown is still one-up on Omarion when it comes to dancing, IMO.)

So WTF you wantin’ from me? Yes, not afraid at all to admit I’m a sucka for ‘em, only because I anticipate hype dance moves and trickery for underground study and analyzation – so the fromage storylines don’t bother me. But when the dancing is only sub-par, I start to worry. So big-up mad propz to Stomp The Yard for encompassing all angles and covering off all bases. The stepping, or battles if you prefer, are insane… period. And the cinematography, mind-blowing. Director Sylvain White’s unconventional yet skilled camera tricks, and countless hours of research, casting, and study on the history of stepping in fraternities and sororities from Chicago to Atlanta and all over, make this motion pic a must see.

Do yourselves a favour if you haven’t already done so and rent this shit. ‘Cuz it’s just that. The shit.

Watch 105 seconds of STY here.

I’m out. For those attending G-Stylez’ PFLS-07 tomorrow night to do battle, I’ll see all y’all there. Get your game on.

273: Good vs. Union

After much debate with homegalz Toy, Jaxs, and Trace, the doors are now open.
It’s simple. Meagan Good or Gabrielle Union?

“slow your roll” and answer the poll…

Tha G-Dawg’s ticket is Good.

272: back, and hotter than ever…

NOT. Seriously Brit darling, if the lip-syncin’ wasn’t bad enough…

271: Facebook to go “Public”

Last night, the popular online networking site Facebook launched their “public search listings” agenda. For all y’all addicts of “the Book we all callin’ Crack”, this is in parallel to how one, logged on, can search for anyone whose privacy settings allow them to do so. This being said, anyone without an account can now also go ahead a search a Facebook Global Listings Directory to find people – another marketing ploy by Zuckerman et al in an attempt to lure even more people to join.

“We are giving users approximately one month to set their privacy options before we allow search engines to index these public search listings,” the company spokeswoman wrote.

Mid-October peepz, so make the call now and adjust your privacy settings wisely before all your elementary skool enemies and ‘ended-on-psycho-terms’ past relationships find you and hunt you down, account holders or not.

All y’all know the King of Facebook trixxx. If need be, holla atcha boy.

270: crank hollas

Always keep a whistle (preferable one capable of producing a high pitch) by your phone. Yes yes y’all, this is the most effect way to ensure no future crank hollas take place.

*ring-a-ding-ding*

You: “pronto…”
Idiot: “hi, are you high? blah blah blah… (insert immature giggles here)
You: - grab whistle and blow.

Works like a charm.
