Blogging

Well, i surrender. I'm going to blog. I'll probably only do this, like, twice. But maybe not. Barrett blogged and had fun doing it. Matt blogs, and I guess girls he doesn't even know read it, which is cool. And if there's one thing i need, it's a platform to ramble. So here we go- blog time.

I'm going to reflect on here from time to time, i'm sure. And i'm going to talk about a lot of different stuff, simply because i have a lot of different things i like learning about and talking about. So yeah, I'll probably talk about sports a lot. but i plan on doing other stuff too. This isn't a sports blog, or a "no one understands me" blog. this is a "you wanna know what's on my mind?" blog.

right now, this is what i've had on my mind-

(Okay, i wrote that and then looked for an actual kanye music video for about 15 minutes. but "embedding" is disabled on every one. so this will have to do.)

Man, Kanye used to be so cool. I don't know what happened. He went from a an awesome rapper to a lousy... guy. The gal he's dating now looks like she should be in the background of "total recall" or something, too. Not a major character- just sitting at a bar or something, like a prop that's used to show the audience that "wow, the future is really screwed up". She'd probably walk off a futuristic glass elevator and Arnold would say "Wow, the future has breasts" or "see you in hell" or one of those pithy catch phrases.

See? Now, all things considered, Kanye looks pretty good here. He's just walking around with a cyborg. I've had to find new favorite rappers, now. Here are a couple of my current Favorites:

WALE

Wale is from DC, born of Nigerian parents. Nike Boots is his most popular song, and I like it. But his mixtape, called "Mixtape About Nothing" is one of my favorites. The whole thing is Seinfeld themed- even the titles of the songs start with 'the'. Pretty Cool. That's right, download it.

Kid Cudi

Kid Cudi is from Cleveland. He does a lot with Kanye, too. So now i look like a hypocrite. But, it's my blog. You can't touch me.

Tinchy Stryder

Tinchy Stryder ft. Taio Cruz - Take Me Back
Uploaded by martin_c7. -

Tinchy Stryder is british, from east london. His real name is Kwasi Danquah. Taio Cruz, who this song features, is also pretty good.

Now, none of these guys are "undergound" buy any stretch of the imagination. And, after reading this, I'm a little concerned about what everyone is going to think about my music taste. But this is some of what I'm listening to. So i hope you give them a try. Chances are, if they get really popular I'll stop listening to them, anyways.

My Favorite rap song of all time is here for you too.

I think this was a good first post. From here on out, they'll probably be more narrative and stuff. But not all the time. Only some times. Maybe i'll do a music post once a week, and put a bunch of MP3's and crap on here for you? Who knows.

I'm going rafting tomorrow maybe. So maybe i'll blog about that. But, maybe NOT. YOU DON'T KNOW. STAY TUNED.
