2/20 - “I’m gonna be bad”

Since late August I’ve been on a bit of a health and fitness kick.  Honestly, it’s more than a “kick” at this point.  It’s my fucking lifestyle.
Sure my diet isn’t perfect, and I don’t work out 3 hours every day, but I think if I stick pretty close to what I’ve been doing, and remain [...]

2/12 - “More ignorance in L.A. when it comes to Italian food”

Wow.  All within one day……
First I’m picking up pizza at this place in Van Nuys, CA.  I look up at the menu in the place, and realize they don’t offer baked ziti.  I ask the employee there, “Do you guys make baked ziti?”  He looks at me as if I’m speaking a different language.  “What’s [...]

2/3 - “Experience scary, funny, and sad all within 30 seconds”

Good friend Lance told me the following story the other night:
He was pulling into a parking lot somewhere here in Los Angeles, when a group of Mexican men started waving at him.  Being polite, he waved back.  Then all of a sudden all these guys started sprinting toward his Toyota pick-up truck.  Once they got [...]

1/13 - “Why no 24 hour Chinese food?”

You see 24 hour McDonalds.   24 hour Subways and Taco Bells.   Why can’t I get Chinese food 24 hours a day?   I bet health-wise that Chinese food is no better or worse for you than typical fast food.
I’m not talking Chinese food chains like PF Chang’s, but more along the lines of Panda Express stuff.
All [...]

11/9 - “Alicia Keys is in denial of her black heritage”

After discussing some music theory with Jeremy, I’ve come to that conclusion…
While in Sam Ash music store, we were fiddling around on the keyboards.  He’s the piano/keyboard player, so I asked him something along the lines of, “Which keys do I focus on if I want to solo in A minor?”
As a bit of [...]

8/10 - “White people Madea viewing party”

Despite this country not “truly arriving” yet, we have made much progress in terms of the improvements of race relations.  We’ve had the civil rights movement, and of course we got President Obama now too.
However, it seems white people have yet to embrace Tyler Perry.  Having never seen a Tyler Perry TV show or film [...]

7/2 - “National Examiner too irresponsible for even a rag”

Today I was on line at Rite Aid, and as I typically do, I glance at the covers of the rags like Star Magazine or the National Enquirer.  Mostly it’s just nonsense, and stupid shit about Jennifer Aniston’s dating life.  However, the cover I saw earlier today I found insanely offensive.  Now, if you read [...]

5/17 - “You look more Jewwy in that color”

For those who are of mixed ethnicity, I think depending on clothing, this influences which part of your background “pops out” most.  Simple example, a “half-black half-white” person probably looks “more black” in traditional African garb.
But besides any obvious cultural reference via type clothing worn, what about just the color of the clothing itself?  The [...]

5/8 - “Fast food dates”

Maybe it’s mostly based on walking around Sunset and Hollywood Blvd, but when passing by fast food spots, I look inside and often actually see some decent looking couples eating.  I’m pretty sure it is next to impossible to regularly eat fast food, and to stay in good health/shape.
LA is a weird place, but most [...]

4/16 - “Celebrities should stop adopting kids from foreign countries”

…and only adopt ones from this country, the United States. I don’t really know how often regular people adopt African and Chinese babies, but my perception is that Madonna and Angelina Jolie have been doing the bulk of it. These two self-righteous Hollywood liberal do-gooders are probably both complete hypocrites.
You’ll often hear people [...]
