This is a pretty interesting documentary about the history of the song and its influence and influences.

Part I



PART II

CAROLE KING

Ok really weird thing about me is that for my entire childhood I had a huge crush on Carole King. It wasn't her fantastic looks (not calling her ugly) or her gorgeous head of hair (a little ratty) but it was the way she could string a song together. It was absolutely amazing to me and as I got older and could read more about her career and the brilliant songs that she wrote I became more intrigued and enamored. She was beautiful to me inside. Basically she looks like my 8th grade drama teacher but damn Carole can write the hell out of a song.

Also the fact that she is from NYC makes me crush on her even more. In my head she's a good friend but actually she doesn't know I exist. I know this post went way left but below you can enjoy the genius that is Carole King.

SONGS IN MY HEAD

If anyone reads this they might think I am a middle aged 2.5 kids and grew up in the 60's. Quite the contrary. Love this music. This is what is on my I pod (thanks boo) and on my office computer. People often come into my office asking "what the hell are you listening to?"

Stay tuned for part II.............Enjoy the videos.

BAD SMELL

Man kicked off the plane for smelling badly. That sucks! Imagine you had some sort of medical condition that made you smell like ----- and you could not control it.

For example, the other morning I was on the subway and this man yawned (usually not an issue) but when he exhaled his breath smelled like he has just finished eating a bowl of stir fried bowl of morning breath. It smelled so bad. It was so potent that I held my breath for at least 4 train stops. I could not believe it but anyway.....

JERSEY SHORE FAKE ITALIANS

http://entertainment.blogs.foxnews.com/2010/02/16/fox411-exclusive-jwoww-reveals-neither-she-nor-snooki-are-italian/

When MTV announced it was debuting a little television show called "Jersey Shore," scores of Italian-Americans decried the program, claiming it promoted unhealthy ethnic stereotypes.
But in an appearance on FoxNews.com's hit Web show, "The Strategy Room," Jenni "JWOWW" Farley revealed that she and some of the other cast members are not actually Italian!
Farley herself is "Spanish and Irish," while castmate Snooki is actually Chilean.
We'll give you a moment to reflect on that.
The self-proclaimed "guidette princess" from Poughkeepsie is not Italian!

Am I surprised? Not really. Why do I care? Jesus what is wrong with me?

Nearly 10 years after the group's last studio effort, Sade is back with "Soldier of Love," blasting in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with 502,000 copies sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan.



"Solder of Love" gives Sade its first No. 1 debut and its best sales week since SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991. On top of that, it's the best sales week for an album by a group since AC/DC's "Black Ice" bulldozed into the chart at No. 1 on the chart dated Nov. 8, 2008, with 784,000.

I have this album and it's a treat for the ears.

NIKE SPORTSWEAR X WORLD CUP KITS

Once again the swoosh has done it again and commissioned some of the most talented artists to create team kits for their respective countries.

I'm a homer so I am featuring the US kit Which to me looks oh so sweet. The red, white and blue is calling me. Do you want to know what it says "I hope you know someone who wants to hook this up for you because you would look really nice on you....c'mon come try me on" Yeah I'm done.

Calling himself “Mister Cartoon,” this Los Angeles street art legend has had a strong relationship with Nike for many years. His detailed black and white drawings, inspired by prison tattoos, are highly sought after in the music world and beyond. When presented with this project, Cartoon jumped at the opportunity to work on a uniform that would represent the country he loves. His eagle mascot is tough as nails, with a halo of stars and a look in his eye that says, “Don’t mess with the U.S.” On the crest, “USA” is written in Cartoon’s modified version of old English and scrolls remind wearers of the visual language of tattoos art.
Six Collaborations spawned from Nike Sportswear’s desire to celebrate the beautiful game of football in a way that connects to the national team fans who dwell at the intersection of sports and culture. In 2006, Nike collaborated with a group of artists to curate and design environments and spaces that represented their countries, but there was no product connection to this partnerships. This year, Nike worked with established and emerging artists from six countries to create alternative National Team Kits that flip the script on the classic football kit. “We wanted to include the kinds of apparel and accessories that would be in a footballers bag,” “They would be the same colors of on-field uniforms, but with the artists’ twists.” says Jarrett Reynolds, Nike Sportswear Apparel Design Director. In order to accomplish this, the Nike team asked artists contribute a badge, mascot, print and an alphabet in their handwriting style. Each collaboration includes N98 Track Jacket, AW 77 hoodie, kit tee, polo shirt and short for both men and women; then tee for men and tank for women.

UTAH SENATOR PROPOSES TO ELIMINATE 12TH GRADE

I understand this because I had a lot of friends who only had two or three classes and would be home in bed by noon. I think to me it was important becuase I was not quite ready to feel the pressure of college at age 16. I feel like this would work for kids who really are super advanced in high school and most likely would give two shits about the school.

This version is not as good at the first but it is for a good cause. HELP HAITI. Well damn I wish they could have stuck to the script. Was there a need for rappers and autotune dammit? Seriously I am all about helping Haiti but this could have been done 1,000 times better.

COMMON VS. SERENA WILLIAMS

Via Bossip dot com

"On Challenging Girlfriend Serena Williams Athletically:
I’m an athlete, I can keep up with her. She is a champion. I watched the Australian Open, I was thinking like “Man, Serena Williams is one of the greatest athletes we’ll ever see — of all time.” I was really thinking that when I seen her. I was like man, this woman is incredible. I can keep up with her though. Well not in tennis. I’m not gonna front on that one. I can’t keep up with her on that one. Maybe if I drink some Gatorade I’ll do better but this woman is one of the best ever. But I can beat her in any other sport. "

As a man I think Common will scratch, claw, kick so that he can beat Serena is basketball, running or whatever sports they choose. I can't wait for this. I think Ms. G would crush me in badminton and swimming. Others it would be a battle.

AMERICAN EAGLE NOT SO MUCH

"Anywhere but here, of course. Several items by the main entrance were location-specific mementos. A T-shirt marked “W. 125th Blues” seemed disproportionately long for its width, with the lettering creeping up to the neckline. (And, no, there is no American Eagle in Harlem.) "

GIRLS AT THE TOP Men's clothing is in the basement and shares the small main floor with women's wear, which also occupies the second floor. The third floor is given over to Aerie, the company's underwear and sleepwear line. Even boyfriends and dads are looked at askance here.

TOURIST TRAP Open and, relatively speaking, bustling until 1 a.m., helped by a glossy, peppy playlist spanning Vampire Weekend to Nelly; it's billed as AE College Radio. "


Its not like I am too good for this store but to me if falls in line as Abercrombie and Hollister. Who wants to buy already beaten up, ripped, ultra washed clothing? It doesn't make any sense to me but I guess the "pre painted" POLO pants i own don't make sense to other people either. Am i guilty as well for falling into the trap? Is AE just a cheap imitation Ralph Lauren? NA! I'm not buying it or into it. Also I try to avoid Times Square like the plague.

RACISM IS ALL OVER THE PLACE. Am i surprised at things like this? No, but it still chips at my heart and mind ever so slightly.

GILBERT ARENAS APOLOGY

Below you will find Gilbert Arenas' letter to his fans about his recent bonehead decision to threaten a teammate by bringing a firearm into the facility where he makes a living as a professional basketball player. I really think as all athletes ans celebrities do backpedaling because at this point he is scared out of his mind of going to jail and possibly losing 100 million stacks. I feel the apology is sincere but damn what if his teammate would have pulled out a gun as well? Would it have a been a shootout at the O.K. CORRAL?

Below is the letter:

"The Post suggested on Dec. 31 that I send a message to young fans “about guns being neither glamorous nor desirable.” I am grateful for the opportunity to do something good in the face of the very bad situation I created.

I have done a number of things wrong recently. I violated D.C. gun laws and the NBA’s ban on firearms on league property, and I damaged the image of the NBA and its players. I reacted badly to the aftermath and made fun of inaccurate media reports, which looked as though I was making light of a serious situation. And I gave Commissioner David Stern good reason to suspend me from the game, which put my teammates in a tough position and let down our fans and Mrs. Irene Pollin, the widow of longtime Wizards owner Abe Pollin.

I understand the importance of teaching nonviolence to kids in today’s world. Guns and violence are serious problems, not joking matters — a lesson that’s been brought home to me over the past few weeks. I thought about this when I pleaded guilty as charged in court and when I accepted my NBA suspension without challenge.

That message of nonviolence will be front and center as I try to rebuild my relationship with young people in the D.C. area. I know that won’t happen overnight, and that it will happen only if I show through my actions that I am truly sorry and have learned from my mistakes. If I do that, then hopefully youngsters will learn from the serious mistakes I made with guns and not make any of their own.

I am trying hard to right my wrongs. The one that will be hardest to make right is the effect my actions have had on kids who see NBA players as role models. Professional athletes have a duty to act responsibly and to understand the influence we have on all those kids who look up to us. I failed to live up to that responsibility when I broke the law and set such a bad example. Washington’s children, parents and fans all deserve better from me, especially after all the kindness they’ve shown me over the years.

While I regret a lot about this incident, letting the kids down is my biggest regret. I love the time I spend with the kids here in the District, and it means a lot to me whenever I can help lift their spirits or inspire them, especially kids who have difficult lives.

Last Tuesday, I wrote a letter to students in D.C. schools that was also about owning up to my mistakes. I said that I lost sight of the lesson I learned from Abe Pollin about how the responsibility to be a good role model comes along with the opportunity he gave me. I reiterate now the pledge I made to those students: that this is a responsibility I am not going to walk away from, that I will choose more wisely in the future and do my best to help guide children into brighter futures.

There have been few bright spots for me these past few weeks. But one came the night I played my last game this season at Verizon Center. I saw young fans were still showing up wearing my jersey. That meant more to me than I can say.

The relationship I have with young fans is very important to me. I realize now how easily I can damage it. I have to earn that respect and work to deserve it each and every day. I plan to do that work by partnering with public officials and community groups to teach kids to avoid trouble and learn from their mistakes, to strive for success by working hard and persevering, and to try to make the right choices.

Some people may not forgive me for what I’ve done. But if I help steer even just one young person away from violence and trouble, then I’ll once again feel that I’m living up to Abe Pollin’s legacy and to the responsibility I owe the kids of the District.

The writer, a guard for the Washington Wizards, was suspended last month without pay for the rest of the season."
