Pause! The worst of the worst

The Knicks this year are frustrating. They don't suck as bad as past years, but they are not good enough to make the playoffs. So I can't straight dismiss them because sometimes they pleasantly suprise me ... sometimes. Just look at this picture. (From left: Larry Hughes wondering what smells so bad. That would be Al Harrington's shot selection. The guy behind Larry is just glad he's not on the team. Al Harrington is the caped crusader/passing evader, without the cape. David Lee is dreaming of his double doubles, and getting paid in the next contract. Nate Robinson crying at the unfairness of being so short. if my man was 6'7', he'd be as good as lebron. yes, i said it. dan dantoni picking the lint off his suit, wishing he was coaching in college). But there is a light at the end of the tunnel. 2010, baby, 2010.

I got nothing against Jimmy Kimmel. Anyone that picks The Roots as their house band gets crazy cool points in my book, but se paso! He went on and on during his monologue about how someone (elvis crespo) was a merengue star, like that wasn't possible. hey, jimmy! the world is bigger than you think. there are people making moves that you will never hear about. nothing funny about that. and to top it all off, the joke about elvis crespo wasn't even funny.

Time to start thinking about summer clothes. These denim shorts by Rittenhouse are classy. No crazy prints, just a nice denim chambray (i know all about denim now thanks to a special someone ;) ). available at oipolloi.com




Everyone rocks Chucks. Ho hum. What is next, you ask? Get some leather Pro Ked jump offs (i did). The sole is thicker than the Chucks, and the perforations on the leather are sick i tell ya, sick! Get your pairs at zappos.com




So i didn't make it to WMC this year (heard it wasn't as good as previous years, hope my friends weren't just trying to make me feel better for not going) but I can imagine the parties. Here's a little of the Martinez Brothers and Dennis Ferrer on the unos and doses. (This is a little too techy for me, but the Martinez Brothers are the future. Book that!).

a little blog on blog love

thatchickfrombk interviewed me on her blog. check it out, it's pretty funny. one hand washes the other, as they say...

that CRAZY chick from BK

Diana is my homey. We used to work together at Track and we bonded over a couple of things:
• my love of jewish culture (what can I say? I grew up in NYC). Diana is of Russian Jew stock (stock always makes me think of soup) so I called her bubbala (a yiddish term of endearment).
• her nefarious habit of stealing my nice pens
• her nefarious habit of smoking. girl would not quit going to the balcony and getting her lungs all sickly like them commercials that make me turn away from the tv

So long story short she started a blog, thatchickfrombk.com. The thing is mad funny, hilarious, irreverent. I'm still trying to make her make me a contributor (I send her stuff I find on the net that I think she can put on her blog) but no dice. We'll see if this article will seal the deal. She took some time out from wasting time on the internet, smoking, and taking care of her turtle moses jesus to answer some questions

who is that chick from BK? That chick is a chick who can't formulate the proper words to describe who she really is. She is not that good at the writing.

what do you write about on your blog? I write about douchebags, cunt monkeys and all that other shit. and i also make fun of my friends a lot. and my parents. i trash everyone but myself.

have the police contacted you about your little stalking problem? (there is this girl at starbucks that diana keeps stalking no they have not. i don't like the police. if they came to my house, it is likely id get arrested.

tell us about your esteemed contributors (clears throat)? those contributors are people who deal with me all the time. they know im bipolar and they still love me. there are many contributors but i have ocd and must have an odd number and its so complicated. im going to pass out right now. this is stressful question.





bloggers (me) are calling you the second coming of the borscht belt, the love child of sarah silverman and henny youngman. thoughts? wow. that is so flattering! i want to be sarah silverman but that cant be and so instead i just dream of fucking her. is that wrong to say?

tell us about the thatchickfrombk reader? have you done focus groups? i have not done focus groups but i'm fairly certain chick readers would eat babies if they had to, smoke mad dro and like to make fun of the less fortunate. they also have computers.

Pause! The worst of the worst

Wednesday night and I'm too tired to hit Cielo. That is wack. Oh well, next week. And the Knicks are struggling against the Clips, CMON! oh, I digress. The above video is a clip from the upcoming movie Crank 2. WTF! This is not even C movie material. Clifton Collins, I hardly knew ye. I thought you were a respectable actor duke. Now you are wearing a fu manchu mustache and are in a scene with Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite. I like the way Pedro all of a sudden finds a pair of nunchucks out of nowhere and then just falls over the dude he was fighting. Who would fork over 11 dollars to see this travesty?



Pharell is cool. Dig his music, his style, etc. etc. But this is wack. He starts singing and dancing for some McDonald's? I think homey is in France, the chicks working the counter (what happened to service with a smile?) don't recognize him, or maybe they are being high faluting and French. Regardless, WACK.



It really bites when major fashion houses try to jump on trends and don't know the first thing about what they are getting into. These are sneakers from Calvin Klein's Spring/Summer 2009 collection. Where do I start? I like the color orange, but this is a nasty variation of it. I'm still in search of some dope velcro sneakers, and after seeing these... I'm still in search of some dope velcro sneakers. these actually look orthopedic. Why didnt they do the smart thing and partner up? They could have given Coup d Etat, Supreme, or Alife a call. Shit! Dave's Quality Meats woulda hooked it up too. Next time hit me on the hip, Calvin.

Pandora Rox!

You might or might know about Pandora.com but for me, it is one of the best implementations of technology on the internet. What you do is tell the page what type of music you like and it makes up "stations" that play music that sounds like that. you can set up as many stations as you want, and even put it in quickmix mode so it randomly picks a song from one of the stations that you pick. you can log into your account, which means you can be anywhere and listen to the type of music that moves you. i'm on pandora 60% of the day at work. another cool feature is that you can send your peoples your quick mix so they can see what you are listening to.
here is my quickmix:

Rodrigo's quickmix

post up your quickmix as a comment, i'd like to see what other people are listening to.

Patrick Ewing is God. Sound sacreligious? Too bad. He is my favorite NBA player of all time and the only reason he never got a championship was some dude in Chi-town called Jordan (can't hate on Mike, but I wish my Knicks coulda won at least one). Undercrown just released this joint (shouts to my boy Eli @ karmaloop.com for hitting me on facebook to alert me about this shirt. When I noticed the "I Love NY" printed in black behind the figure of Ewing, I almost fell off my chair) and I already got one. After Jordan, Ewing gets a lot of t shirt love from the high end urban wears designers, that tells you something about my man.



This jersey jacket from Edifice is just what Spring needs. Dress it up with a striped button down, or down with a t shirt. Because you can't rock a hoody ALL the time, am I right?




oh Puma, I love thee so! They got together with Foot Locker to release what they call the Re Boot series. I'm feeling these, nice clean lines and subdued colors.

RUMBA!!! pero the REAL RUMBA

let me set the scene: Havana, Cuba's Callejon de Hamel, an alley in the middle of the city that an artist has restored with AfroCuban religious imagery. Every weekend, the best rumba troupes from across the island come there to GO OFF! notice that I capitalized that. I'll do it again GO OFF! best enjoyed with some ice cold cerveza Cristal (i hate beer, but Cristal tastes like heaven). check out the dancing, it's incredible. there was one crew that took a doo wop song and FLIPPED IT guaguanco style. but enough words, feel the music.

ye olde new york

saw this on gawker.com and felt like reposting. wish i had the energy to expound about what new york city was like back in the day. i will return and hit you with something, i promise. for now, check out what new york city was like back in the day (the last image is from watchmen, which is getting great reviews and i am definitely going to check out).

What will the world be like in 10 years? This video was created by microsoft and if this is the way it's gonna be, and damn i cant wait! technology rocks. something i cant wait for is embedded tech. why carry around an iphone or ipod when u can plant a chip inside of your body with all that info?

its just funny that microsoft came out with this, i don't see them doing anything innovative besides that tablet computer thing they developed. APPLE TIL I DIE HOLMES lol
