Spades with Pros

So I was telling the stories of my early days in Atlanta and I decided to write them down.

When I first moved to Atlanta, I moved in a bad part of town there were prostitutes and crackheads in my neighborhood. My roommate was also an interesting man. He was very gregarious type of person. He would befriend almost anyone and everyone. I will talk about him in further detail some other time.

So one day, my roommate decides to bring some of the neighborhood prostitutes. They were outside of my room around 3 in the morning. They needed an extra person to play a game of spades. They decide to wake me up to play. I say "why not?" So we start playing. They were actually pretty nice girls. One girl worked at Target sometimes. They seemed like nice people and actually were pretty funny. At least funny enough on a Tuesday night/Wednesday  morning. We were having a good time. Then one of the girls wants a cigarette. She asks everyone and nobody had any. She leans over to me and asks if I would like to go to the bathroom with her. I ask "why?"She says to provide some services. She said she'll do it for four bucks. FOUR BUCKS!!! Not Five but four. Maybe she thought if she asked for 5 it would have been pushing it. So I just decided to give her the money without any services. Pretty disgusting and I mean the cost of penicillin would be more.

So just one of my stories of the ATL. More to come in the future.

Detox

DR. Dre has done almost everything in Hip-hop. He has affected three generations as a producer, record executive and artist. He was one of the founding members of NWA. The guys who put gangsta rap on the map. He then starts his own label the infamous Death Row. Finds guys like Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg, Warren G and the legendary Tupac. He then leaves that label to start Aftermath. People laughed and questioned his decison for leaving Death Row. He starts Aftermath and basically doesn't get a star artist for a long time. He finally finds this skinny white kid named Eminem, who becomes the biggest rap star ever. 

He also releases Chronic 2001. One of my favorite albums of all time. Besides the skits (I hate skits), I loved almost every track. I listened to it again a couple of months ago and it was so fresh. It felt like I was back in 1999 listening to it on the bus. The best part of Dre's beats are the keyboard. I love when the keyboard is hitting and its just music that you can vibe too.

I have been waiting for his new album Detox for 4 years. The first time I heard he was coming out with a new album, I was so hype. For years, it was rumored that he was working on Detox. A song with Jay-z was leaked and it was terrible. Dre said it wasnt complete....I was angry. Finally, he drops his new single "Kush". You know what? I freaking love it. I first played it in my car the other day and it was like magic. The bass just hit me and then when the piano hits.......MY GOODNESS! This is my new favorite song, listen to it and love it.



Some videos that are awesome.

Enoch Chang's "like a G6" is awesome. Makes me want to dance, biting my lip like a white man.

UGGS

In college, the whole Ugg trend was starting up. I went shopping with a girl and they wanted to buy Uggs. I started to feel the liniing. I put my hand in it and it felt so warm and comfortable. I felt like my hand just woke up in a winters day and didnt want to get out of bed because it was so damn comfortable.

From that moment, I wanted to get myself a pair of Uggs. The problem is that it is not socially acceptable for a man to wear Uggs. Matter of fact, it seems pretty gay. If I saw myself wearing them , I might make fun of myself. Then, the movie I Love You Man came along. One of the actors, Jason Segel, is wearing Uggs with some shorts. Pretty Crazy. Then my friend in Korea tells me that guys are wearing it there. All the signs were pointing for me to buy them. I went on the website and everything, but couldnt do it.

My friend sent me a facebook invite. It was International Uggs day in November something. Temptation comes around again.

The Way We Move

I was at church one day and saw a man walking with daughter. The odd thing was that he was showing her how to walk with heels. This man was short and he had a tall daughter, who was maybe 16-18. He was actually moving his hips and telling her how to move in her heels. He did it with such ferver and passion that he kind of made me want to move that way as well. I think he showed her like a couple of moves. It was hilarious.

I loving walking in the streets. One of the things I miss the most. I love to watch other people move and interact with each other. Its fun making fun of the people just walking. 

Women. Crazy sometimes. Just the way they walk can drive a man insane. I understand the father teaching his daughter. It seems that many women dont know have a good walk in their heels. A good high heel walk is a sight to behold.
