Don't Push ME

Kickin' it Old Skool

Tonight I am just relaxing here at home watching the highlights from the X-Games and listening to some old school rap. Stereogum posted VH1's top 100 hip-hop songs and there are a lot of classics. I know there are a lot of folks who don't care for rap, but that is too bad. It is time to broaden your horizons. Yes, I am going to say your were too hasty in generalizing all rap as misogynistic, violence-promoting rhymes. To say so would be about as ignorant as saying ALL blacks eat fried chicken or that ALL whites like golf. Stepping aside from the stereotypes that plague us, lets listen to some good 'ole music.

Buhillions and Buhillions
Last year I stumbled upon the video "Glorious Dawn". It is amazing and there were two other video worthy of your viewing, until two days ago. Two days ago, they posted the fourth video on youtube and it is equally brilliant. Here are the four videos. You can download the last three here and purchase "Glorious Dawn" on iTunes.

The new year is upon us. With the new year, I plan on creating a new look/brand (for myself at least). So I am contemplating a few different looks.

1. The First one is a combination between vaquero mexicano and the American cowboy. It would include the hairstyle of Travis Tritt or Joe Diffie from the 90's. I prefer the bangs that Joe Diffie was sporting in the music video "Pickup Man" combined with the long, flowing mullet of Travis Tritt. I would then combine this hairstyle with the sweet suits (trajes de naco) you would find on each member of Los Originales de San Juan or Los Capos de México. You be the judge.Travis TrittJoe DiffieLos Originales de San Juan
   

Finals

I Wanna Know
There are four days left of classes, then finals. I'm pretty excited to be done with this semester. As for me, there is nothing new, but here is a pretty cool video for the Museum of Bellas Artes track "Who do you love".

The Calm Before the Storm

For the first time this semester I get to relax a little. I turned in the second research design on Wednesday, which was a big relief. Now, I don't have a major assignment in that class (Psci 200) due until December 2nd. It is pretty nice, but it won't last. Since I have some time, I thought it would be appropriate to update everyone on what is happening. Because I have learned to be more concise in my writing, I will do it in one word; nothing. That's right, nothing is going on. I am just doing my usual routine, and that is awesome. However, on Halloween I did something I absolutely enjoyed. Lance and a few of his friends from Highlands Ranch put together a haunted house. Luckily for me, they needed some help and I was able to fill the role of a crazy clown. At first I wasn't sure how it was going to go, but it sure was fun. The best part was scaring the guys who were desperately trying to impress their girlfriends/dates. Lance and his friends really did a good job with everything. It was too fun.
We were a lot scarier in action.As you can see the haunted house was a success. This was the line on the second night.

HBLL
At this moment, I am sitting here in the library working on an assignment for Psci 200. It is interesting and boring at the same time. It is very time consuming. After a few hours of looking up sources and articles about Mexican drug policies, I have decided to take a break and update the blog. This semester has been far better than last semester. It's amazing what an attitude adjustment can do. Also, I have been a lot busier this semester which has helped. Now it is time to iron out a few wrinkles and keep "echando ganas". So part of this break includes looking at videos on youtube, and I have decided to put this one up. La Malagueña is a classic song in Mexico. This one just happens to be my favorite version, sung by Miguel Aceves Mejia.

Video of the Week
Every Friday, in my Psci 200 lab, our TA shows us a video. This week he showed this one. It is pretty funny. Definitely made my day.
