The guy who beat Kimbo Slice

As a firm believer in Kimbo Slice's potential and dominence, I was dissapointed to see him basically get it handed to him last week – I figured he would lose to Ken Shamerock but when Shamerock opted out due to an injury, I thought Kimbo had the fight in the bag.

Apparently I was wrong

Let me link you to some interesting pictures of the man who took down Kimbo "Tommy Gunn" Slice

Studying? What's That About

Rather than study for my Consumer Behavior exam tomorrow I'm going to post about quite possibly the most influential and charismatic musicians in history

I'm sure you're thinking – "Whoa, shit's deep"

You may also be thinking of musicians in your head right now that you think I would say such as:
  • Little Richard
  • Elvis Presley
  • The Beatles
  • Jimi Hendrix
Although all of these answers are honorable mentions, none of them are whom I have in mind

So who could it be – who could possibly be better than them or at least in the same league?!?!?

Answer's simple folks, John "Mother F*ckin" Coltrane

John Coltrane is a freak on the Saxophone and an integral part of the evolution of jazz and music in general! John "MF" Coltrane introduced the world to one of the best jazz songs ever performed – Giant Steps

Coltrane actually makes jazz tolerable and dare I say it, bad ass

So here's to you John "Mother F*ckin" Coltrane -- you're the Bret "The Hitman" Hart of Jazz

If you dug "Giant Steps" or if you want to simply get more Coltrane, I would definitely recommend My Favorite Things



Love Lockdown



Yeah so Blogger decided that I was spamming everybody with my older blog -- I didn't think I was?

Thanks Blogger -- you saved the world again

Charlie Brown > You

I'm sorry that the title was bold but lets be honest -- Charlie Brown is cooler than you or I ever will be, and the sad thing is is that he's a cartoon character.

But can we really downplay his superiority because he's a cartoon? Of course not

Charlie Brown has spoiled us over the years with laughs and exceptional life lessons through two movies

A Charlie Brown Christmas and It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown

REASON BEING

Let's face it -- EVERYBODY has seen these movies and at least 80% of the people who have watched these movies have absolutely loved them (myself included)

What else than a Charlie Brown movie can get away with talking about Jesus Christ and preaching how Christmas is more than materialism on network television year after year?

What else than a Charlie Brown movie can get away with giving you life lessons such as "There are three things that I've learned never to discuss with people: Religion, Politics, and the Great Pumpkin"

What else than a movie about Charlie Brown will give viewers young and old life lessons about handling woman, dealing with adversity, business entrepreneurship, leadership, and above everything else, people skills.

Damnit do I love Charlie Brown
