"By the time you get this, I'll probably be halfway out!"

So, I'm sure you all know about T.I.'s weapons conviction...so, before he serves his time, he's released a sick, sick mixtape album called "A Year and a Day", his pre-sentence rapage of virgin ears.

Seriously, if you hate how the Crunk era of rap pretty much capitalized on and forced the trend of minimalist beats and what I like to describe as "RETARDED" lyrics, then you'll really like this mixtape.

I only got to track 3 on the way to work, and I loved the songs so far. "Hell of a Life" (track 3) is simply awesome. Same sort of well-crafted feel as "Whatever You Like", sick beat and good, musical qualities, with a chick singing a mean chorus and the man himself droppin' some hard verses of courses.
Just knowing T.I., the rest of the 16 tracks will be ill.

Check it out, if you don't like it, "kill yo'self!"

Summertime...

And pimpin' still ain't easy. (Untrue.)

So after Saturday's FA Cup showdown between London's Chelsea (boo hiss) and Liverpool's Everton, the 08-09 football season will be over!!!
A football-barren landscape is all I see. Thank God this sport's off season is only 2 1/2 months.
The mighty Red Devils ended their season with a flat, uninspired defeat to Barcelona. After 65 games this season (for about 80% of the season we were involved in 3 different competitions) the 66th match proved to be too much. I watched a little on break at the office, and it was pretty much a soccer version of Pacquiao v. Hatton!

Still, at the end of the day, we finished with trophies from the Club World Cup, the Carling Cup and the Charity Shield season opener. Best of all, we were champions of the English Premier League, the most competitive season-long campaign in the game. 38 matches, 90 points at the end of it all; our third year being the best in the Mother Country!

For you traumatic brain injury victims who couldn't care less, I'll stop boring you.

The rebound relationship that will fill the summer void left by Manchester United is going out on the boat:
1 15ft. motor boat
one cooler
2 bags ice
~24 beers
one pitbull
other person to pilot the boat (most of the time)

All you need for a kickass Saturday (or Sunday).

While the beach is fun (gray Tybee Island sand, hilarious rednecks near the pier, hot bia's and absolutely no surf) the boat is always going to trump it. It's like one of the last bastions of Americana! Everyone waves to each other, like boating is an inclusive redneck, baller, fisherman, prepschool, ex-pirate club. All you need is to have a boat.

I am pretty curious about the distinct lack of black people out on the water...perhaps someone can clue me in on that. Steven Colbert's Black Friend may know.

Oh yeah, expect more Blog apathy. I've learned that putting in some boxing work on the heavy bag after lifting weights makes me not really give a damn about anything. Especially typing

Rake

Pete Dougherty, (said scoundrel) known to be a "geezer" in the Mother Country .


"A rake. A scalawag. A ne’er-do-well. A scoundrel. Even a reprobate. There is power in the way people perceive you, especially when they think they have you figured out. It is essential that you are, at some point, considered one of these, if only for a short while, and only by a small group."

Brilliant. Pretty much sums up my MO when studying abroad in London, though with an added "guy from the Dirty South" tinge.


Cheers, Esquire!
