So I did indeedy miss that SV episode 2 weeks ago. Thank goodness its on my season pass and luckily I peeped it over the weekend. There's a reason why Chloe was dropping those carefully worded conversations - she knows! Its Alicia's fault, since she sold Clark out. And she what happens to her?

Anyway, back to last nights episode. I thought people knew better than to call/text/IM me on Wednesdays between 8 and 9, but oh well. I didn't ignore yall on purpose! Let's see, the premise is about some kryptonite/steroid induced dogs, which got me thinking:

- What if Clark took steroids to counter kryptonite? Would he keep his powers? He already gave up sports so that wouldn't be an issue.
- Lois moved into the Kent Farm. Wouldn't that be weird to be: 1. living with a hot girl, 2. living with a hot girl who wasn't your GF, and 3. living with a hot girl who wasn't your GF with your parents?
- Chloe is very choosy with her words...and I doubt she'll ever tell anyone. Ever.
- Funny how there hasn't been one single reference to Pete this entire season. Like he just vanished. I mean, Clark's been everywhere from Vegas to Miami this season, you think he could visit Pete, who remains some where in KS.
- I still have no clue where this Countess Isabel/Lana/Jason's Moms thingy is heading. Mysterious? Yes. Interesting? No.
- Lana has her first words of the show 50 minutes into it. Booooo!
- At the end we see the inspiration for CK's future red cape. Now I'm wondering where the tights fit in.

I don't know about this season yall. I think I've lost my connection with CK. I'm still rooting for homeboy don't get me wrong. Even though it wouldn't be in line with the mythology, I'm still rooting for a Clark/Lana union. Next week should prove interesting, as LL is on some Crouching Tiger ish.

Good thing AI was on at 9pm, making my TV schedule a lil more convenient. Down to 2 dozen contestants, and I wanna say that my favorite cats advanced. I don't have names, so I'ma describe them:

1. The bald-round guy. Dude whose daddy didn't believe in him. I like to call him the White Ruben. He was the 2nd to last guy to move on.

2. The mail-lady (I love saying that term haha). She's 20 from FL, and homegirl can blow. And how many African-American 20 year old postal delivery workers do you know?

3. The country chick from OK. She almost looks like a doll. She has that country twang thang going for her. It seems like she's so pure and sheltered to the outside world, but I but yall she's a freak.

4. The Federov cat who almost lost his voice altogether when he was younger. The judges compared him to Claiken when he first performed.

Too bad there's no Jasmine/Camille type girls in this. But I guess the eye-candy is decent. And 3 episodes next week? Damn Fox is milking this series for all its worth. And it'll be around for awhile.

***

Newlyweds: I forgot to put Jessica on my top 25 list...she definitely belongs. Nick took his lil brother to FAO Schwarz. It reminded me of the time I went there once in LA. Lil Ferrari's and Hummer's cost more than real Ferrari's and Hummer's. Remember that floor piano in Big? That ish cost $150K. Hmmm, don't remember much else from this episode, since Xmas seemed so long ago.

Happy Valentine's Day yall. Hope you girls receive flowers and hope you guys give them.

60 Sec Reeg-view:
Hitch

Damn this was a funny flick. Its a perfect date movie for couples. If you think you're a smooth cat, watch this and you'll think otherwise. If you need help in the game department, watch this and see your stock soar. If you're a hopeless romantic, watch this and you'll have faith that there's someone perfect for you. If you're anti-love, watch this and you'll sing a different tune. If you need help stepping up to the plate, watch this and you'll be circling the bases. Love doesn't care how deep your pockets are, or what kind of whip you push, or how defined your abs are (well maybe sex does, but not love). Far from a chick flick, this movie is comedic and inspirational. Go ask that girl to go see it.

If anything, watch it because Stephon Marbury makes a cameo.

I give it 4.5 hearts out of 5.

I didn't forget to write a reegcap about SV, I was just pressed for time (since I'm so popular and all). So here's a brief summary:

- It must be the greatest thing to go on a recruiting trip (if you're a high caliber playa that is). If you missed this epi, just watch "He Got Game," starring Jesus. The similiarities were eerily similar.
- If I ever have a son (Lord Willin'), I'd want him to be just like Clark (even without the superpowers for all you smart-arses).
- I didn't like Lois when the season started, but now I like it when she's in the episode. Homegirl can drank!
- Not sure where the Countess/Isabell(a?)/Lana storyline is headed, but they haven't mentioned the tattoo in awhile. Jason is looking shadier every episode, but he's still playing the innocent boi.
- I've came to terms with the writers not incorporating any more Lana/Clark scenes. Doesn't mean I don't like it. When they end a show with Clark at his loft, its either Alicia, or Lois, or Chloe. I just want it to be Lana again. *sniffs*
- Man how sappy am I???
- Chloe is an intelligent woman. She also isn't as annoying this season as in prior ones. She's good friends with CK, she knows all about the weirdness of SV, so its not hard to put together. She definitely knows that CK = Superman. "It's just a hunch." *winks*
- I was liking that song they played at the end, until the credits showed that it was a Simple Plan song. Oh well, off the WinMX i go.

EDIT: OMG I THINK I MAY HAVE MISSED LAST WEEKS EPISODE! No way! I was watching it for like 5 minutes but I thought it was a rerun? haha I'm dum. Anyway, I'm crossing my fingers that its on my TiVo.

***

So on Wednesday I went to Ash Wednesday mass. Maybe they call it a "mass" because there was a mass of people there. Like total fire hazard at St. Augustines. I don't know if I'm gonna be damned for this, but is it bad to check out chicks while at mass? What's funny is that I believe my dads met my moms at church! Maybe its in the bloodlines.

While there, I also was thinking of making a church muzik mix. I could put "On Eagle's Wings", "Away in a Manger" and Kanye's "Jesus Walks" on there. That would be a hot cd.

***

Last night myself, Taft and Jefe made the trek to Davis to watch the epic UCD/UCSB basketball game. This has been circled on our calendars since the season started. I always love visiting college towns, even if it is Davis. After the game we went to Downtown Davis, and its like a block long. For all you Santa Barbarians, be glad that you went there. UCSB > UCD.

(Maybe I'm just bitter because we lost to a school that was only D2 four months ago.) Anyhow, oh how I missed Woodstocks Pizza. Some may recall our Slum Village place, where Woodstocks was just a hop, skip and jump away.

I drove back solo since them cats were gonna sleep over there. Gotta love Cruise Control on an empty highway...you don't have to crease your shoes!

***

coworker: *hands me a copy of "Napoleon Dynamite* Make sure you smoke before you watch it.
me: I don't smoke I thought you knew.
coworker: You sure? But you're wearing that sweater ha!
me: :-(

For the record, I'm wearing a apple green/heather gray argyle sweater from BR. I think its tight (you should see my matching kicks).

I like to chat online. Sometimes I even talking to yall while I'm taking care of my business (read: doin' the 2). Just know that once in awhile you may talk to me while I'm on the can. And they wonder why video phones didn't take off.

***

My SK2 already lost its luster. I feel like I'ma high school kid with one. This was especially evident when I was talking on it, and this 18 year old said, "hey! i have one too!" great. i need older kid toys.

***

Why is it either my work area, car and room are either all messy or all neat? But lately its been more on the messy side.

***

The clock in my room is still an hour ahead since daylight savings time. Its a beach to get to that's why. Unlike nimz who never ever even changed the time on his car clock.

***

Man I haven't bought a pair of kicks since Dec 3, 2004. I gotta come back swinging. Thought about giving that up for lent, but the last time I tried that (2 years ago I think) I bought even more. Its okay though, we all go through dry spells. And I'll always be a 'head at heart.

***

My birthday is coming up, so maybe yall can pool some money together and bid on this for me. My size too! 107 Pairs...but free shipping!

This is for Taft (from msn.com):

'Simple Life' Star Nicole Richie Engaged
Feb 8, 5:40 PM EST

The Associated Press

NEW YORK - Life is becoming less simple for Nicole Richie. The co-star of the Fox reality show, "The Simple Life," has become engaged to her boyfriend of one year, disc jockey Adam Goldstein, her publicist, Cindy Guagenti, announced Tuesday.

It will be the first marriage for 23-year-old Richie and Goldstein, whose professional name is DJ AM. A wedding date wasn't announced.

Richie, the daughter of R&B star Lionel Richie, is co-starring with Paris Hilton on the third season of "The Simple Life."

While by no means is she hot, but she is vastly improved from before. And I'd rather have his kicks than his girl. Wonder if daddy Lionel is gonna sing at the wedding?

If you ever buy something that comes with a rebate, please do yourself a favor and process that ish ASAP! Otherwise you'll lose the receipt and throw away the box and end up overspending on it. Not like that happened to me or anything.

***

The good thing about rebates is that its like free money. Say you don't lose it and process it, then 3 years later you get that check. You weren't expecting it and blam! It appears.

***

Sign of aging: enjoying watching HGTV more than MTV. But for reala there are some cool shows on it.

***

I'm planning a surprise birthday for myself. I need suggestions! Holler at me.

Thought of the Day:

When you go to sleep while watching TV, never put the channel on the Food Network. Especially don't do this a day before fasting from meat.

Hope you all had a festive Mardi Gras and had some flash going on.

(note to self: write a Food Network appreciation blog.)

Is it too late to have my 2004 Music Awards? Man another disappointing year in hip-hop. 2K4 may have been the first year where I've listened to other genres more than rap muzik. Not because I've changed, but I've been so disenchanted with the state of hip-hop (*nose pointing to sky*). There were a few good releases though. So without further adobo, here are my grammys:

Hip-Hop Album of the Year-Major Label: Nas - Streets Disciple. Only if he condensed both discs into one solid disc, it would've been classic. Runner-up: The Roots - Tipping Point.

Hip-Hop Album of the Year-Independant: The Sound Providers - An Evening with the SPs. Figures that my favorite indy album was half instrumental. These cats make the hottest beats, which are very musical and harmonic. Nimz would agree with me. Runner-up: Foreign Exchange - Well-Connected.

Hip-Hop Single of the Year-Major Label: Slum Village feat John Legend & Kanye - Selfish. Wow this even surprises me. But its a hot song nonetheless. Runner-up: (tie) Jadakiss - Why/Fablous - Breathe.

Hip-Hop Single of the Year-Independant (not like you've heard these, but I'ma list them anyway): Royce da 5'9 - Hip-Hop (might have been '03 though?). Runner up: Supastition - The Williams.

Alternative Album of the Year: The Killers - Hot Fuss. Yes, I was listening to this pre-OC and pre-SNL, just ask Taft. Mr. Brightside, Jenny was a Friend of Mine, Somebody told Me, etc are all jams.

Alternative Single of the Year: Green Day - Boulevard of Broken Dreams. My picks for these categories might be too MTV-friendly for some, but I can't be snooty about this music too. Runner-up: Sugarcult - Memory.

R&B Album of the Year: John Legend - Get Lifted. This barely made it into 2004 with such a late release. He's like the male Alicia Keys, and indeed, Kanye appears twice on my "Best of" list. How funny. (Shouts to Jefe who got me this. Well not really, but he did but me the Smallville soundtrack, which I already had, which was parlayed into this.)

R&B Song of the Year: Ursher featuring Luda and Lil Jon - Yeah! Now you know I couldn't leave A-town's finest off the list yeah? How ironic is this equation: (Ursher|Pop)+(Luda|Rap)+(Lil Jon|Wack) = Hit of the year?

Alt.rap Song of the Year: Shawn Carter & LP - Encore/Numb. While the rest of the EP was a tad disappointing, this crown jewel was worth it.

Guilty Pleasure Song of the Year: Ashlee Simpson - Pieces of Me. And yes I'm still listening to it.

Disappointment of the Year: Mos Def - The New Danger. He was going for some Rap/Rock hybrid, but it didn't work. Maybe I'll give it another spin.

Who I need to listen to more in 2005: Jack Johnson, Raphael Saadiq, Unspoken Heard, Madlib, and my older early 90s hip-hop. Plus I'm open to whatever. Suggestions yall?

Thank goodness its February since I've had a pretty miserable January. I think I just need to get real crunk one day and don't worry about anything. Yeah that's it. Sadly I don't recall the last time I was perved...man I feel deprived. Even for NYE I was pretty sober (no offense Ant). That must've been an indicator for the rest of the month huh?

Anyways, this is the month all the x-mas bills start trickling in, and paying bills is never no fun. People borrow $krilla and don't pay back (except you CW - thx). As a result my finances get all out of wack. When in fact, my chips should be stacked.

I wasn't tripping, only because I'd do my taxes early so I can get my refund check faster. I do a couple other people's returns, and their getting like $2K back. Then I do mine, wondering how much my check would be...and it turns out I owe a G! Wtf?! Man, I guess that can hold off til the 15th of April then. SO much for that.

My basketball team is struggling, but I have faith we'll make the tourney and do some damage. Even my NBA teams suck. I didn't even purchase a single pair of shoes in the month of January, which was the first month I skipped in I don't know how long. During this span I passed on a couple of my holy grails too. My car is making a squeaky sound when I step on the gas. I need to move out. Smallville was only shown once. I haven't seen any movie that I wanted to watch. I've played like 5 poker tournaments and lost them all.

What's the result of all this? No blogging from me for the month and I haven't gone to the gym since 2004. I don't know about yall but sometimes laziness just consumes me. Plus there's other stuff that a couple of yall know that's bugging reegsta.

So how am I gonna remedy this? I'm not. I'll just "move forward and never backward" as NaS would say. I'll make February 1st my new years.

And all of this would've been avoided if I just had more crunk juice.

Better late than never I suppose, so here's a brief SmallVizzle recap:

* they said LL would have a more developed, mature character, but it seems like she's regressed. or maybe she's just insecure? still hot though when she was wearing nothing but my button up shirt. i mean jason's. durrrr
* chloe's not a V and she did the deed with jimmy (could it be the same jimmy olsen from the daily planet??)
* good to see a chloe/LL scene talking about their relationships.
* alicia was flyer than i remember her. or maybe that's because earlier this week she played a lesbian on boston legal. or maybe because her clothes were usually off. or maybe both.
* lex is opening up to daddy, which is a good thing.
* how come lex has that big arse house, but we only see him in his office/loft?
* to be honest, clark and alicia looked like a good couple.
* even though they didn't work out, at least clark knows he has someone who can ride for him.
* tom welling's acting ability has dramatically improved.
* jesse mccartney's "beautiful soul" is my new jam (sorry jefe).

Then I was channel surfing and like totally forgot "Newlyweds" made its debut. I'm not sure who considers themselves newlyweds after 2 years of marital bliss, but what else would you call it?? Anyway, they hopped up to Napa for the weekend and squished grapes, tasted wine and sparkling wine, and ate cheese. I was thinking they'd probably have dinner at French Laundry or something, but nothing was shown. They did eat another piece of wedding cake though. I swear I thought that they just celebrated their 1 year, but it may have just been a rerun. Jessica moment: confusing Caberet with Cabernet.

Smallville hasn't been on in 2 months. I was reading TV Week from this Sunday's newspaper and it had the following blurb after the main story:

Meanwhile, Lana (Kristin Kreuk) decides to have sex with Jason (Jensen Ackles) in order to win him back.

thoughts upon reading that: &*(&(*&^%$^(&(*&(*$&)@Q_!@(+#$*!*_@$*_*!!!!!!!!!!!!

thoughts after letting it soak in: &*(&(*&^%$^(&(*&(*$&)@Q_!@(+#$*!*_@$*_*!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess we'll see tonight. Whatever happened to the family oriented show?

thought du jour:

they say that a girl knows if she's gonna sleep with you within 5 minutes of meeting you. that's why i cannot stress why first impressions are so important. anyways, when you meet a girl, talk to her for a few minutes. then after 5 minutes, just ask her the following: "so whaddya think?" if she smiles slyly, then you're on the right path. if she has a puzzled look, then game over for you.

Inspired by cicely's post, here goes my top 25 list:

1. kristin kreuk
2. jessica alba
3. kate beckinsdale
4. angelina jolie
5. josie maran
6. ali landry
7. adriana lima
8. stacey kiebler
9. katie holmes
10. brooke burke
11. kelly ripa
12. vanessa minnillo
13. elisha cuthbert
14. beyonce knowles
15. kira kenner
16. krista allen
17. kylie minogue
18. eva longoria
19. kelly hu
20. malia jones
21. jessica biel
22. scarlett johanssen
23. rachel bilson
24. britney spears
25. anna kournikova

Kinda wanted to keep it PG-13, but Kira had to make the list somewhere. I think the saddest thing is that my sister and my mom's names appear within the top 4. I may have missed a couple too. Yes there are some classics that aren't on the list, but I have another! Here is my preliminary Hall of Fame list (girls who've been hot for 5 years or more):

catherine zeta-jones
jennifer lopez
alyssa milano
tyra banks
salma hayek

I need some pink kicks. Not Pink Panther-pink, just a nice soft one as an accent color. Here are my options:







Any suggestions? Yes I know pink is so 2003 and we're already in 2005. I'm just a little slow in adapting to the times. Like it took almost a month for my first blog of this new year. And I haven't been to the gym in days put a month on it. Well all that is about to change. I'll blog more religously, like multiple times a day. And I'll hit the gym daily. Maybe.

Is this a coincidence or what? 3 of my favorite people's birthdays are today! I'm sure you are sayin, "naw, its not my birthday, is it?" But anyway, here's a shout to those born on December 30th:

Lebron James, 20
Tiger Woods, 29
Kristin Kreuk, 22

So guys, if you want stars as kids, plan for a magical romantic night on March 30th.

Hmmm...I almost forgot my password its been awhile. Naw, my passwords are always the same to everything - email, bofa, credit cards, paypal, work stuff - maybe i should change it now?

I anticipated a busy december, and i was right on. I kinda already want it to be 2K5 already you know? I'm sure I'm not the only exhausted cat and yall out there can empathize with me.

Let's talk about Vega$, part duex. So we leave thursday night, and when we arrive I call in sick for friday. I missed our office party, but its not like I haven't been to Dave N Busters before. No biggie smalls. Plus I have sick hours that are about to expire at year end. *Cough, cough.*

It's an accomplishment to get all our siblings together in the Bay, let alone anywhere else. But this time in LV all my siblings and siblings significant others (except my sis' BF - good!) were there, sans parentals. Now that I'm thinking about it, we were never ALL together at once. At the club, it was only us 5 brothers. At the telly's, we were missing Jon. Then Jon met up with us, but I wasn't there because I had a bball game to watch. Hmmm, better luck on christmas I guess.

So I didn't really care to go the LV again, but my squad was playing there! I was pretty amped for the Georgia Tech/Gonzaga game. Anyone who knows me just slightly or been reading these pages knows my love for the GT hoops squad. Damn i felt like a groupie travelling all the way to watch a 2 hour game. Anyway, I rocked my new black/gold jersey (along w/ my black/gold kicks) to the UNLV campus. Honestly the hottest girls the whole weekend were at the gym, not the tellys or strip club - umm not like i know 0=). Something about college co-eds I suppose. As for the game, we lost, and I was crushed and it ruined my whole trip. I even came up a few hun, but that couldn't make up for the defeat. (thank god i didn't bet on them! talk about double whammys).

I been doing a grip of shopping this month to, and not only for myself. Here is my xmas gift for me though:



I didn't buy from ISS though, since its probably the most expensive shoe site in the world (wide web).

This is for V-may:



Hope she likes it. And I doubly hope she doesn't check this page before the 25th. And yes its real.

I so wanna buy this shirt. But kinda hard to justify 30 bones on one:



And I bought other gifts too, but I swear sometimes $$$ or gift cards are the best you dig?

Probably the hardest thing to shop for is a Xmas tree. Yesterday I bought a 10ft noble fir and had it tied to my whip. And my whip is pretty small so I was kinda tripping when I brought it to my moms. Luckily the drive wasn't so bad. So I get home and of course I need help taking it down and putting it in. And of course no one was home or answering their phone. Since I've been working out and taking my vitamins and I brought that freaking tree in myself dammit. Just call me Paul Bunyan yo. Too bad my back still hurts.

Okay here's to more consistent posting! Notice when SV is on hiatus I don't blog as much?! Coincidence? Probably not.

Man I haven't blogged in 2 minutes.

Just came back from LV last night. Aside from the fact that I lost $krilla and it was mad cold and I played the worst round of golf ever, it was fun times. So much that I'm going back next week!

SV recap from 2 weeks ago: It was predictable. And how come CK wasn't in LL's nightmare of all her loved ones being dead? Maybe b/c she doesn't fear losing him? And why did Jason and LL break up during Xmas? Isn't that the worst time to do it? But yeah, to echo MSB's piece, it was a bit graphic. Man its gonna be awhile til the next one.

Go Gauchos! It will be especially sweet for UCSB to beat DOOK. This is men's futbol in case you're wondering.

Have a good weekend yall. (Man my blogs are becoming Callwave-length-like).
