The Second Life of Limelight
VIA Urban Daddy NYC
Converting a church into a nightclub—sound logic.
Converting a nightclub that used to be a church into a mall—dubious, preposterous and more than a little brash. Consider us intrigued...
And thus we arrive at the new Limelight Marketplace, three floors of food artisans, coffee shops, clothing stores, roving magicians and opera singers in the old Church of the Holy Communion, more recently known as the mighty nightclub Limelight, opening next week.
If not quite your new destination spot, you may find yourself praying at this church in the company of your certain special someone(s). For those times, you will need a game plan, lest you end up browsing the whimsically shaped cakes at the Butterfly Bakeshop.
Thus we suggest heading right up to the third-floor balcony, where you can survey everything below you, reminisce about the dance floor, and drop by Jon Wye for handmade leather belts and dog collars—just like they used to wear on said dance floor.
Then head down to the gourmet food court, pass by the charcuterie plates, imported olive oils and Costa Rican coffee stands, and end up at a 24-hour outpost of Brooklyn Bridge pizza house Grimaldi's. Here you'll order whole pies (and only whole pies), acquire pitchers of beer and carafes of wine, and drink to the ghosts of Limelight past.
Limelight Marketplace, opens next Friday, 212-226-7585

DIVINE MS. M
This song just popped up on my computer and it reminder me of my lady. Not because of the song title but the fact that she knows this song verbatim. I love the fact that she can be so gangsta! She's my gangsta boo!
CRAZIEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN
Deceased Man From Puerto Rico Mounted On His Bike For His Funeral!
"According to a spokesperson for the funeral home, the family of David Colon came and asked them to perform funeral services with David mounted on his motorcycle bent over as if he were racing. "

ANOTHER REASON TO HATE THE DOLPHINS

Who cares about where is he came from? This to me is embarrassing and I really hope that there is a fine handed down. This is disgusting and despicable! Will he ever be able to escape his past?
"My job is to find out as much information as possible about a player that I'm considering drafting. Sometimes that leads to asking in-depth questions," Ireland said Tuesday in a statement released by the Dolphins. "Having said that, I talked to Dez Bryant and told him I used poor judgment in one of the questions I asked him. I certainly meant no disrespect and apologized to him."
FUCK YOU JEFF IRELAND!

COUPLES
Lovely Ladies
So this Saturday I went to watch my Divine Ms. M and some other wonderful performers do their thing @ Parkside Lounge. Mary the Hostest with the Mostest told an amazing story about a band that I have never heard of...Supergrass. But I was so intruiged by her story that I actually "yahoo'd" them and listened to their music. Couldn't find her geocitie site though. :) The Divine Ms. M told another riveting story about her being the Hanoi Jane of Bakersfield, CA. Anyway, that was a great show and I thought this day could not get any better better but how could I forget....we had to eat and of course there was a Mexican restaurant across the street. The reason I say of course is because the last time we were all "crew deep" with the insistence of "The Fabulous" we ate Mexican food. Now I love some Mexican food so I was OK with her choice. Unfortunately ,the food was sub par and we were ripped off by the other table but I had a fantastic time. The "men" conversation was just my cup of tea, 1. Sports 2. Movies 3. Random stuff that pisses us off.
Oh you thought the party ended there didn't you? Oh hell no.....Unfortunately the temperature dropped 20 degrees and we ended up at some strange LES Bar that was showing "Empire Strikes Back" and had random "graffiti" on the walls. After Chad and Simon dropped off the wagon the man conversation continued between Nick Lich and i about other randomness that continues to strengthen our friendship.
I realized on Saturday that I really like the people that M introduced me to via Nick and Alison's wedding. Shout out to Chad, Mary, Lindsy, Simon, Nick, Alison, and of course the one and only MEG.
I think the next time we all hang will be "JUST RIGHT"

Y-3 X WORLD CUP
Y3 celebrates the world cup in style. I wouldn't have it any other way. I love the special edition kits for the special sporting events. I am a fan! Look below for the leather extravaganza. Man I love kicks. I saved the best four footies for last.
THAT'S HOW STRONG MY LOVE IS
some people they call me crazy
for falling in love with you
they can take me and lock me away baby
'cause there's nothing those bars can do
i'll be the rising moon after setting sun
just to let you know you'll always have someone
i'll be the clearest day when the rain is done
so you'll always know
through the shake of an earthquake
i will never fall
that's how strong my love is
like a ship through the storm
we can risk it all
that's how strong my love is
i use to feel kinda lonely
cause the world it can be so fake
all that matters i'm telling you
is you and me only
and the fortress from love we make
i'll be the water you need in the desert land
just to let you know you'll always have my hand
i'll be the woman you need to be a better man
so you'll always know
through the shake of an earthquake
i will never fall
that's how strong my love is
like a ship through the storm
we can risk it all
that's how strong my love is
oh, can't nothing break us down
oh, 'cause we are heaven bound
like the mountain standing tall:
immovable; we're here to stay
oh,can't nothing get in the way
through the shake of an earthquake
i will never fall(i will never fall)
that's how strong my love is(that's how strong my love is)
like a ship through the storm
we can risk it all(we can risk it all)
that's how strong my love is(that love is)
through the deepest waters
i won't let you drown (I won't let you drown Ohh!)
that's how strong my love is (Oh that's how strong my love, my love, my love)
cause we're the moon in the sky
that will never come down (never come down)
that's how strong my love is (Oh that's how strong my love is)
that's how strong my love is
that's how strong my love is

THIS MAKES ME SMILE
(CNN) -- At times, counterfeiting can be a good thing. Just ask the district attorney in Brooklyn, New York.
Seven truckloads of confiscated counterfeit designer duds and shoes -- Ed Hardy, Nike and Diesel among the imitation brands -- are headed to earthquake victims in Haiti.
The 125,000 tons of clothing and shoes, valued at $10 million, were seized by New York police and would normally be destroyed, but in this case, the contraband will go to good use.
"Permission was obtained from manufacturers, including Nike, Timberland, Antik Denim Jeans, Black Label and Christian Audigier, to allow the knockoffs to be donated to charity," Kings County District Attorney Charles J. Hynes told CNN affiliate WPIX.
Hynes' office came up the idea. It was decided the goods, warehoused for a while, would come to better use in Haiti.
The powerful January 12 earthquake rendered more than 1 million people homeless in the Caribbean nation. Many are eking out a meager existence, living in tents and underneath tarps.
The international charity World Vision has agreed to deliver the items donated by the Brooklyn authorities.
But there's one catch: All brand identifiers like labels and logos will be removed in order to avoid trademark issues.
They need to start doing this all over the US and the rest of the world. I work in the bootleg capital of NYC (IN THE 20'S OFF BROADWAY) and I read about raid all the time and I know a ton of companies want the clothing destroyed instead of just cutting off the tags and giving them to people who have no clothing. Homeless shelters and other charitable organizations can definitely use these counterfeit goods. I am happy this is going to a good cause. YES! WIN! And really who is still wearing and should have ever really worn "DEAD HARDY"?

MADDEN CURSE
VIA ESPN
Drew Brees has another prize to put next to his Super Bowl MVP trophy: He's the cover model for this year's edition of the "Madden NFL" video game.
The New Orleans Saints quarterback led his team to a 31-17 victory over the Indianapolis Colts in this year's Super Bowl. He says landing the cover of "Madden" is "a great way to cap off an amazing year."
The announcement was made Thursday.
Brees was chosen by fans who voted online to determine the game's cover athlete. The other choices were Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Reggie Wayne and Minnesota Vikings defensive end Jared Allen.
"Madden NFL 11" will be released by EA Sports on Aug. 10.

TOBY FEELS SLIGHTED
http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ms-gerhartstereotype042010
Interesting Article about Toby Gerhart from Stanford University who believes race might be a factor in the position he is drafted. He is a great back but a lot of people are great in college and their skills do not materialize in the league where the big boys plays. He is a scary sight for NFL Defenders @ 6' 231 pounds. Do you think its because of the color of his skin that he will not be a first round DRAFT pick? We will see tonight @ 8. Good Luck Toby. I can't call how your skills will translate but with all of this controversy you are stirring up I hope you are a great player so people can't say "I told you so".

RADICAL MUSLIM GROUPS VS. SOUTH PARK
This is always a hot button issue. All radical religious factions always give me a chuckle because they (to me) bring down the main religion.
But this Revolution Muslim individual was out of line with "we are commanded to terrorism the disbelievers........I define as terrorism as making them fearful before they rape your mother, kill your brother or steal your resources"
Making them "fearful" yeah like killing people to make us think 2x about invading another "Muslim" country. Ah, this debate will go on until the end of time. Someone will always be upset about the way they were "treated" and not the way they treat them in the present day. Maybe one day we will be forgiven and vice versa.

OF COURSE
http://www.blackbookmag.com/article/immodest-ladies-to-blame-for-earthquakes-obviously/18027#When:14:00:00Z
"From Haiti to Chili to China, there have been a lot of earthquakes of late. Thankfully, an Iranian cleric has been able to explain why. Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi, one of Iran's senior clerics, says women who dress immodestly are the reason the earth shakes, literally.
0diggsdigg
Sedighi told Iranian media that “Many women who do not dress modestly ... lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which increases earthquakes.” The cleric’s reasoning follows a prediction by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad two weeks ago that Iran’s capital, Tehran, would soon be hit by a quake and that many of its 12 million residents should evacuate. Tehran is quite earthquake prone, though that’s more likely due to the two fault lines the city straddles, not its young woman wearing tighter clothes and more revealing headscarves. Seismologists have warned for decades that a catastrophic quake is on the horizon, some even suggested that Iran move its capital. That’s good stuff, Iran. "
This is great stuff for the morning. I just got a good laugh. You serious dude? This is ridiculous. I wonder how many people share his views? Not me!

YACHT ROCK
Discovered this song months ago and I finally have a chance to play this beauty for my 11 followers. I am happy John Oates is able to display his vocal talents on my one of m favorite Hall & Oates tunes. Even Yacht rockers could take a few tokes, or snorts or licks like the "real" rockers and make a great video.
Amazing lyrics "she's gone...I'd pay the devil to replace her"

THE TRIAL OF ALLEN IVERSON
A.I is the man. I am still a fan of his. He still is one of the best basketball players of all time. Is he a product of his environment? Or does he just make poor choices? Allen Iverson for all that he has done in the community will still be remembered for this incident back in his HS days. Over ten years ago. He is definitely no OJ Simpson (GUILTY BY THE WAY) but people see him as a gun toting, weed smoking thug. I just hope to see him in the Hall of Fame and be acknowledged as great player, great humanitarian and great man. Unfortunately he will forever be judged by the color of his skin.

SIMPLY FANTASTIC
So I realized that I think I have a thing for English White Soul Singers. I'm a weirdo yes I know but I can't escape the soul and groove. Doesn't this music make you want to do something? Not quite sure what that is but I will figure it out. Close your eyes...its not about the color of the skin but the color of the music. if I was visually impaired I would think these singers were people of color. I wonder if Stevie Wonder or Ray Charles knew? DOUBT IT!
TOUGH BREAK FOR BOGUT AND THE BUCS
Literally.....Looks like that Salmons pick up is looking great right now. Bucs will have to play small ball to make any noise in the playoffs. With a likely match up against the red hot Hawks it looks like they might be dead in the water. They could sure use Michael Redd right about now.
