A few reasons why I love F.O.L.
So it is no secret that I love the new season of Flavor of Love well, here are a few reasons why...
Check out some of the pre show auditions
Then check out the fight from the first episode
This girl sounds exactly like Mike Tyson, I wonder if this is how he would react
This is the full post fight video VH1 cut so much of the post fight talk..."That's why I whooped yo ass...keep calling me trash"
And finally the 'ladies' pose for an upcoming King magazine cover...ah classy

New S.B.C. aka Ali G movie
"Very Nice...How much?"
I have high hopes for this movie, I heard so much about it when it was being filmed particularly the scene at the rodeo

Breasts save the day...
Thanks Minh for this link...Amazing to think that a breast implant saved this woman's life
Too crazy to make it up!
So I came home tonight and though I rarely, rarely take the elevator, tonight I decided to take it and as I was stepping in I was removing my keys from my pocket and they slipped from my hands and fell down the bloody elevator shaft.
Crazily enough I asked my apartment manager about it and he said it happens all the time….WHAT?... more than one person has dropped their keys down the elevator shaft and not just 2 of us but enough of us that you can say “it happens all the time”!!!!
Sadly for me this is not the first time my keys have disappeared in a freaky way…once in Austin while crossing the street with my ex and friends my key dropped from my hands and I accidentally kicked them into a storm drain. I may have to get a bloody chain attached to my belt and my keys.

F.O.L. update and shot at Disney
Vh1 has a true juggernaut on its hands with Flavor of Love 2. Anytime a show is beating out Entourage on a Sunday night and almost doubling the audience of its lead in then something good is happening. I love your blog Abeni but I think Buckwild is one of the best characters on F.O.L.
The ‘white’ girl who reps as she says Rancho Cucamonga as “my hood” brings some excitement to the show, the belt she wears immediately cracked me up (her myspace page though makes me wonder if she is just on it to further her career). All the girls on the show appear to have an agenda and that is just fine by me. If you are watching this show to find true love you have a problem if you are looking for the next great reality-comedy try F.O.L.
The people on this show are not so much characters as they are caricatures: take the best and worst features of everyday persons exaggerate them even more and you have F.O.L. season 2.
Few things from the last episode:
- Tiger’s transformation from non-kisser to kissing whore was amazing
- Toasteee truly looks like she has never seen a drink she did not like
- Nibblz is a straight up freak whether she is just acting for TV or truly like that she is a bonafide tv freak
- Something: You should never and the Cali-J means NEVER be proud of crapping on someone’s floor. She is now proud of her inability to make it to a restroom or hold herself in until she gets a chance to get to a better place.
- Spunkeey: You just spent an hour calling girls whores for kissing Flav, dancing on Flav and sitting in his lap and then your parting words are “I would have f&@ked you if I had to”? Way to go with class.
-
“Go, go Gadget arms!” watching the Disney Movie and all I can think is that Disney took a classic cartoon and made a classically bad movie.

Oh so sore and a F.O.L. reminder!
After riding my bicycle for 3 straight hours I am now typing this blog STANDING up, I am also doing everything for the rest of today, STANDING up.
Little reminder…do try to catch tonight’s episode of Flavor of love I got the noon showing and it is worth the watching, crazy is too mild a term for these young ladies…certifiable lunatics may be the best phrase.
San Diego is so dang beautiful on a clear day – I think that is part of why I rode so much today, I just wanted to keep seeing more and more of it, places I had never gone to like Rose Creek and all around Fiesta island. Fat bastard when you get back into town you need to start riding your bicycle again, the “Sights” are amazing in PB, OB and Mission Bay.

Of overpriced cycling shorts and a shout out!
So anyone who read the Thursday blog knows that I have been shopping for cycling shorts. Well finally they arrived today and they fit etc and thankfully do not look like traditional cycling shorts (seriously I am way too modest to wear tight fitting, crotch hugging, bulge advertising, leg smoothing shorts) so I purchased a pair that look like basketball shorts but still contain the necessary (God knows it is necessary) padding for the long rides that I plan to take. Now that I am easily doing 20-30 mile stretches I want to do longer rides of 50 miles or so.
Anyway I digress I started this blog to rant about the ridiculous cost of cycling shorts. Lance Armstrong is a hero of mine and I initially figured that if I am going to look ridiculous and rock cycling shorts I might as well go for the Discovery shorts look, then I saw the prices; some places were claiming sales on the shorts at $120. Come on now that is retarded; they are just shorts, not a full kit. Unless those shorts guarantee that I will now ride like Lance and not suffer fatigue or be passed by old men that look 60 years old but somehow ride faster than me they cannot be worth that much to me.
Check this link for a sample of some of the shorts prices.
I decided that I had to go the baggy shorts route plus get some shorts that have pockets (since the ipod has to travel with me as well as a business card or id – just in case I ever take too bad a spill and need someone to take care of me) and something that should I jump off the bike and meet normal people I will not look too much like a “cycling dork” words of the guy at the bike shop not mine.
Though this is a rant blog I should say much love to the folks at Sports Chalet who did some important adjustments to my bicycle and did not charge me a cent as well as gave me some helpful hints. So often everyone seems out to squeeze us for all they can get, but the folks in the bicycle department seem to genuinely just want to help cyclists, there is not enough of that in this world.

Let me share a poem with you
On Pain
And a woman spoke, saying, "Tell us of Pain."
And he said:
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.
Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.
And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy;
And you would accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields.
And you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief.
Much of your pain is self-chosen.
It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.
Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy in silence and tranquillity:
For his hand, though heavy and hard, is guided by the tender hand of the Unseen,
And the cup he brings, though it burn your lips, has been fashioned of the clay which the Potter has moistened with His own sacred tears.
---Khalil Gibran

Quick confession blog...
I love cycling and tend to ride a lot BUT I hate people who are non professionals and wear full on cycling gear like they are Lance Arsmstrong in the Pyrenees...I really hate when I think I am busting my ass on the bike and they 'breeze' right by me.
Anyway on to the confession: I have become so sore (u can guess where) that I am bowing to pressure and buying cycling shorts. I did not want to go into a store to purchase the offending garments so I started to order them online thinking a nice black pair would still preserve my dignity and modesty. Just as I was about to confirm my purchase the nagging feeling in the back of my head became a LOUD scream, at the last minute I realized that the shorts that I had been staring at for 10 minutes and considering purchasing were women's shorts! I knew something was weird with how they looked I just could not put my finger on it...in fairness to me though the shorts were incorrectly placed in the Men's department.

Wives for rent and former OSU players going nuts
Some quick news blurbs that I found…
Imagine a situation where your neighborhood is so low on women that you decide to RENT your WIFE out. Yes you read that correctly, you decide to rent your wife to other men!!!! Maybe it is just me but this rent-a-wife system seems to look like prostitution.
Finally imagine hearing this: A young man decides to leave his home with 4 guns that are fully loaded; one is an assault rifle, the other 3 are loosely labeled hand guns. This young man then decides that 4 guns could not possibly be enough weaponry so a HATCHET is added to the mix, but of course if you are rocking a hatchet and 4 guns you have to wear a bullet proof vest and roll with a half bottle of vodka in your car. You then should over react to the police trying to pull you over for a routine traffic stop and try to escape in your SUV. Once stopped you should not try to follow their requests but instead should have them have to mace you when their stun guns do not work thanks to your vest.
But let us not forget that you were once considered one of the Best Players in college football and expected to be a top pick! What the hell were you thinking? Where did you plan to go with 4 heaters one that you were keeping between your legs and a hatchet? Did you think Ohio had suddenly become Baghdad?
I added an IM convo between my former classmate and I re the Indian wife situation to the comments section!

I love this show - in show blogging
I believe that Flavor Flav has the cure for anorexia, after all how can anyone see him and want to become skinny?
“OMG Flavor is the schnazziest (her words not mine) dresser I have ever seen”
“His birthday is the day of realistic inspiration…my birthday is the day of unfailing vision so together we can create some bomb ass sh!t”
“I need a guy that gone hold me and a guy that gone hold me down”
Watching that first chick fight was awesome (I love that one of the chicks put the other in a leg-lock) I could not believe that the fight started over a bed!
Black girl: “You shouldn’t be hitting peeps”
White girl: “this isn’t the streets of Compton
Black girl: “I don’t live in Compton”
White girl: “You said you do”
Black girl: “I said 54th and Crenshaw, that’s what I said”
White girl: “Ok this isn’t Crenshaw”
Black girl: “It’s close to it”
Black girl praying while her former combatant is in the room with her: “God please forgive me for sins…forgive me for beating this bitch’s ass…please forgive me for thinking of kicking her ass again”
White girl: “Is that really necessary?”
Black girl: “You better quit interrupting my prayers before God direct me to whoop your ass”
“You know I got a weave in…This $800 hair you can’t be pulling on $800 hair”
When you watch the show if you ever watch the show you will see a young lady that is not sure of what her race is…
“My last 3 babies was with Latino women I love Latino women” –seriously Flav should you have so many kids that you can start claiming 3 from a race as your last 3? There is no such thing as love and commitment and PROTECTION any more huh?
“I mean I tongue-kissed somebody but I aint never talked in tongue…I don’t know what talking in tongues is”
HAHAHAHA: Oh man VH1 just threw up a Flav-lation i.e. a Translation of the convo between Flav and this HUGE black chick: it is so damn funny watching the captions that allegedly go along with the spoken word. –It was like watching E-40 talk to Snoop Dogg
Ok I have officially spotted the crazy chick and in this group that says a lot!

Yeh I talk to myself...so what?
So Friday night was such a trip that I have decided to post my inner monologue here. The inner mono will be in “-“ words said out loud will be in [-] I must warn you that I have crazy convos with myself all the time sign of genius or madness or a mix of both so let it be…
Immediately as I entered the club I saw this meathead type with his girl and realized that I should probably stay clear of his girl as hot as she was.
5 mins into my first drink: “man that meathead would kick my ass if I said ‘boo’ to his girl”
1 hour into the night: “Man he would still kick my ass but at least it would be a fair fight I think I can get a few shots in…is she looking at me?”
2 hours in: “You know I think I would get my ass kicked but I think at the end of it I would win the fight…she is definitely looking at me, damn she is hot…it is NOT a good idea Aaron”
3 hours in (plus 2 of my boys were standing beside me): “Man I wish that fool would say something I will kick his ass come on just seh ‘feh’”
**quick aside this is not all in sequence and I tend to run multiple convos with myself at the same time**
While talking to a lovely young lady who is a hottie (yes I know you are reading this and yes I promised you a shout-out now you get to see what I was thinking while we were talking)
[you could dance on my shoes if you’re afraid of the steps]
YL: I don’t think you know just how much I weigh – I would crush you
Internal Mono (IM): “Say she is 200lbs for a joke she will know that you are joking, she is smart and hot and confident… ARE U RETARDED? if she doesn’t take it as a joke U might as well start rubbing your cheek cause that slap is going to hurt?
[Oh come on the max that you are is a hundred and five]
YL: Oh no I weigh a deuce and a half
IM: “See you could have said 2bills she would have gotten the joke – NO, NO, NO it is better for her to make the joke than for you to even make the reference no matter how clearly it is untrue”
While dancing with a rather drunk girl from our law school
--Random convos ensue - - then this sudden exchange
Girl: Do you like what you see (sticks her ass out)
Cali: [I am too smart to say no to that]
“Remember last time a girl showed you her ass and you thought you would be a smart ass and make a joke with the phrase ‘I’ve seen better’?’ well you are still suffering for that one so do not touch that joke at all”
Girl: (Angrily) Are you saying you are smarter than me?
Cali: [No, no wait I did not say that I am smarter than you I am saying I am too smart to say that I…]
Girl: So you are saying you are smarter than me!!!!!
“How the hell did you just get yourself into this, run away. Can I do that? Just run, go to the back room of the club do anything other than stay with this girl…wait are your lips moving and not your feet?”
Cali: [Let me try to explain, I think you are really smart, smarter than me in fact, I was just saying (her drunk expression starts to look more and more pissed)…that it would be uh smart for me to get a drink (and then I ran – cowardly it might seem but trust me I would rather run than to have to try and explain logic to anyone who is drunk)]
Right around drink #4
“Did I really agree to help JT move tomorrow? I should probably stop drinking it is going to suck moving early in the morning what time did she say 9.30? Who moves that early on a Saturday? Damn I wish she was an acquaintance and not a friend then I could just forget to turn my phone’s ringer back on – no G that would be an asshole move – but that would give you some extra sleep time”
upon finally getting home after 2am –
“Damn man if you turn the phone off she will just think that you slept through the call or that you were sick or…who are we kidding you will never do that to a friend –sucker”
(I have noticed that I tend to call myself names and use different ways to address myself even in my own mind and if anyone has ever heard me leave myself a voice memo you will notice that I actually say hello and goodbye to myself on my own memos)
One last one; so coincidentally “I have seen better” girl just happened to be in the club
“Oh man what are the chances of her being here tonight? I dare you to diss her ass again, hahahah come on G you do that and you can say good bye to the use of your baby-maker for life”
“Wow she is wearing a hot top – Do not stare and do not say anything about it”
--So we dance for a little bit exchange pleasantries and then…
Cali-J: [Hey that is a really nice top] “What the hell man I thought we agreed no conversations about her top” [I really like it] (blatantly staring)
Girl: Thanks…where is X (I refuse to state his name right now but I think it is the universal sign that a young lady does not want to talk to you when she starts to ask about your friend – and if that is not the universal sign well damn it someone needs to revise that part of the G-code because that is what most guys think)
“When next I see that bastard I am kicking his ass, I can’t believe she just asked about him…What else is she saying? Oh screw it just smile and nod because let’s be honest man you stopped listening after she asked about X”
So to many of you who have noticed my glassy stare while I am at a bar, I am not drunk, nor am I ignoring you or being anti-social I am just caught up talking to the person that I love talking to the most – myself!

A bit long but damn it I saved THREE lives! and got some boob
So it has been awhile since I related a life experience rambling blog you know akin to the legendary Ms. 70 (still wondering if it was wise to delete that number).
Anyway here goes the story:
So I went to give blood today and had to go through all the usual pre donation rituals (fill out the question and answer stuff etc – Still always wonder about some of those answers: I answer truthfully but I just can’t know for sure: like when the question is “Do you ‘know’ anyone who accepts sex for money or drugs etc” I should just be able to respond with I WENT TO LAWSCHOOL at some point all of those questions will apply to someone I have come in contact with.) and the nurse assigned to aid me was beautiful let me say that again she was bee-yoo-tee-full.
So I had to go into the small room with the nurse to do my screening and I was told to sit down and extend my arm to have my blood pressure taken. Well I did it like all guys do, I extended the arm with the palms up and the hand in a slightly cupped form UNFORTUNATELY the nurse leaned forward to apply the stethoscope to my arm while doing so her breast fell perfectly into the cup of my arm. Honestly if anyone walked in we would have looked like 2 teenagers hiding out in the back of a 92 stanza.
So now I have a nurse’s chesticle firmly in my hand and I have no idea what to do (and no squeezing it was not an option) I didn’t want to move my hand because I was afraid that that would have given away the fact that I was conscious of the boobage in the hand. I didn’t want to say “excuse me but I think I got you” so I just left my hand there and could feel my blood pressure rising. I wanted her to retake it but had no clue how to explain to her that I had basically just increased my blood pressure because of something that should be so innocent (did I mention she was hot?) so my blood pressure came in at 126/70 and I really would love to know what it could have been.
But then I stride out of the room still high on the joy of “I am about to give blood” (you know the slogan if you give blood you save 3 lives) and I am thinking ok we took care of that so I get in the chair to give blood while ‘chatting’ up the nurses all female by the way ( I have never seen a male nurse at the red cross – I smell discrimination) and the guy across from me is freaking out because it is his first time giving blood and I am smirking at him because the man is at least late 30s and he is giving blood to have it stored for his OWN surgery - Which was something I had never thought of but it makes so much sense why not save your own life if you know surgery is coming up. But I find it hard to imagine a grown man freaking out giving blood that is for his own purpose but that’s just me.
So after strutting and thinking that I am the hot stuff, life saving, breast holding, non-crying blood donor I get in my car look down and realize that my zipper has been down for the whole damn time and not only is it down but underwear is peeking out (always wear a good pair) and the manly decision to take a flaming bright pink bandage for the arm is not looking as good in bright sunshine!

1 leads to 2 leads to 3 leads to you can guess the sequence
So uh Lyonness in the last 5 days I have had an argument/conversation with every ex/pseudo girlfriend (no wonder the Cali-J remains single) that I have in America so I suggest that we just have a talk later today say right after I give blood when I will be fatigued anyway and less likely to care about the conversation that we have since I seem to be on a bad roll downhill might as well get over what seems to be inevitable!
I think my blood is thinner today!
So I am giving blood later today and to be honest I would not be surprised if when the needle is stuck in my arm a clear-murky brown liquid comes out smelling like vodka, gin and rum.
I wonder how long you are supposed to wait before giving blood! Will have to read carefully that list of a million questions they give you before they stick you.

Flavor of love - Slutitude
So any regular reader of the CaliJ knows that I loved VH-1’s show “The Flavor of love”.
Well my guilty pleasure returns starting this Sunday. The new season’s trailer (note not an ad but a bloody trailer for a TV show) has 2 chicks fighting while picking rooms in the first hour of entering the damn house – How could you not love this drama?
The level of slutitude (yes I know it is not a word but it should be) is at an all time high, and Flav is looking greasier than ever. (How is greasier a word and slutitude not a word? We need to get on this.)
I guarantee at least 2 fisticuffs (again – votes for slutitude) and countless make out sessions with Flav and some chick desperate for love (or camera time).

Looks like a Jamaican will stand alone again!
Wow something tells me that your masseuse would have to really hate you to sabotage your career like this! Or it could just be a badly created cover story. I reserve judgment as to which I think it is. I love the fact that Asafa will over take the #1 spot in the world BEFORE Gatlin is suspended (potentially) this way at least he got it head to head and not because of paperwork!
Decent summer movie
Saw Miami Vice tonight: It is a fun summer movie. I don’t think it’s a great ‘classic’ movie but it’s a good visual treat. Well put together film and better than most. I do like the fact that even though it is a summer blockbuster-esque movie it managed to avoid the pitfall of just throwing in a bunch of explosions and hoping to just wow the audience into thinking they are seeing something good. Oh and it has none of the cheesiness of the 80’s tv-drama but all of the flashiness; cars-hotties-and great shooting.

Ah drinking and Psych
Not sure how much Alcohol is left in San Diego, but I do know that my friends have made a good faith attempt to rid the bars of it!
I am loving this new show…Psych! Normally I am not a fan of shows on the USA network but in the last few years they have come out with a decent line up in Monk, Psych and though I do not watch it I hear good things about ‘The Dead Zone’ (I enjoyed the book so to be honest a bit wary of watching the show).

As down as I am feeling today
The Fergie 'London Bridge' song just makes me smile...ah those lyrics creative writing at its finest!
OK OFFICIALLY 100% SCARED NOW!
My laptop crashed in the middle of the bar forcing me to switch to handwriting and completely freaking me out making the rest of the bar just another crappy experience.
I should have known it was going to be a long crappy day when neither I nor the proctor could find my seat, and I was eventually placed in a seat that turned out to be someone else's seat.
DAMN IT ALL!

Burned out and the Bar hasn't even started
Good luck to all - here's hoping for the first ever 100% pass rate!

Ah moments like this I really miss the Island - so burned out from studying!
So the tony matterhorn song "dutty wine" amazes me just on its sheer vulgarity everytime I listen to it and, sadly I cannot stop listening to it - the amount of places that he contemplates and lists 'penetrating' his girl on is just awe inspiring: Seriously Tony? "on the dresser, Bruck all the figurines" on the TV, on the fan?? and the names of positions "The Roast duck"??? Something tells me no surface is safe to touch at Mr. Matterhorn's home
"Coulda 2 a dem, coulda 3 a dem, send di whole a dem"
As to di following vid watch it descend from a decent attempt fi do dutty wine to sheer craziness - I really think she hits her head on the floor a few times as shi do di "twist yuh head" move
I love the tuck in yuh belly song and goes well with this vid clip - make sure your speakers are on...

Bloody hot, creepy ads and an efficient army
I am more than a little creeped out that a bail bondsman ad on the radio appears to be trying to seduce clients into picking them!
It is so bloody hot in my apartment that I am just sitting in darkness.
I am so burnt out from studying. If I fail the bar it will not be from lack of knowledge. I left the LRC at about 11.30pm and could count the amount of cars in the parking lot on one hand.
Love and blessings to my friends in the middle east – Keep your heads down and stay safe.
An Amazing system utilized by the Israeli army!
Wow, just heard a commentator drop this gem: "He is just like Herpes, just when you think you have him beat he comes right back!"

No wonder I feel like I am melting...
I just checked my weather service link and it shows San Diego at 103 degrees (heat index). So sad when the air conditioned library feels like the best place to be right now!

What is this guy thinking?
This guy really, really cracks me up. I love how he came up with that number! $832 million because you look like the greatest player ever: Amazing!

Apologies for the peal out and free hugs to all!
“The tribe of extreme has risen again” – Paul Heyman
So it seems that during the bar study period everything we do is extreme. Today leaving the parking lot for the 2nd time this week I made my tires squeal (SQUEAL) which really shouldn’t happen with a car as old as mine (after all it is now at the age where it could get a learner’s permit). Thing is I do like hearing the tires squeal, but not in a parking lot…thing is – I do not realize that I am pealing out when leaving the library. Bloody studying has gotten to me!
If I am going to peal out I would at least like the fun of knowing that I am going to do it. I have a pretty good feeling that my tires are low so I will check them in the morning since it would suck wrecking on the way to the bar.
So to the quote above – SO many peeps are FREAKING OUT…I hate seeing my peeps stressed, everywhere I look I see people either shedding tears, choking back tears or wiping away tears.
To my peeps buck up we will all make it true – nothing is worth the toll you are taking on your souls…and never forget – FREE HUGS ALWAYS FROM THE CALI-J

Sizzla seh it so mi muss past it!
Jus a tek sum wuds from missa Kalonji in prep fi di bar
“Rise to the occasion, look at yourself den say yuh strong, no-one can stop yuh, oh yeah Rise to the occasion, go ahead yuh know yuh strong, no-one can stop yuh It's for you to make the best in life, know that you got the chance
Get up & step towards your goal, it's all right, fulfill your needs & wants You to make the best in life, know that you got the chance Get up & step towards your goal, it's all right”

Screw the bar - Save my friends - Damn this is killing me!
So as I sat and watched 2 friends trade out ‘freak out’ moments and I stealthily reached for my ipod headphones to plug my ears so that I wouldn’t get ‘bummed’ out. I realized not for the first or heck even 50th time that the Bar just RIPS US APART. It is the dasher of dreams and the killer of hopes. I slept less than half an hour last night because I was tossing and turning trying to figure out a wills and trust MPC question despite the fact that Wills and Trusts do not have MPC questions – Worst thing too is that I know there are no MPC W/T questions but I could not stop trying to solve the damn problem.
If you know me you know I may kid about stress a lot, but I tend not to stress out, but damn it the bar has shown me a whole new level and since I am not used to stressing I think I am handling it badly. My skin is breaking out like a teen-ager’s I eat crappy food and I have no patience for anyone’s stupidity (hmm maybe the bar has only increased my attitude). Thing is what mainly sucks is that the peeps I would normally turn to for support are either taking the damn bar themselves and it is not fair for me to ask them when they need it as badly if not worst than I do (I haven’t broken down in tears like a few I have seen); or they are in Texas and our times conflict; or working; or not even in the damn country.
I have studied for this exam harder than I have ever studied for anything in my life. I know more law than most lawyers currently working in the state of CA (the knowledge may be useless) (that’s not a boast by the way – I do not think I am unique in that I think 90% of the peeps currently taking the bar will know more law than current lawyers – just lack experience) and yet I am fully convinced that I will fail the bar. I look at the upcoming 3 days with nothing but revulsion, I have no confidence and I cannot stomach the thought of failing.
It is so bad that peeps are using phrases like “no one talk to me on Tuesday”
“I do not want to see anyone before the bar” or my favorite “Just think of it as a practice exam” Well the latter is how I had planned to treat the LSAT and thankfully my score assured me that I wouldn’t have to do that so here is hoping the same will happen on the bar.
Regardless of the result next Tue/Wed/Thu: San Diego better look out because once I am done and the rest of my cohorts with me there will be a good faith effort to rid the entire downtown district of alcohol. My intention is to make it look like prohibition has returned by removing alcohol from every bloody bar that I am allowed to enter!
To the Bar examiners of CA “JUST BRING IT”

What is happening to so many icons of my race?
What is with so many of the old black iconic female singers blowing up in size? It is really sad to me: Chakka, Patti, Aretha (BIG AS A HOUSE) Franklin, Etta James (to the point that she had to have surgery. I worry about this – diabetes, hypertension, heart disease all typically associated with increased body weight are major killers in the black community and I hate to see singers who so many look up to just seem to let themselves go. The male singers do it too – Peabo, Barry White, Luther Vandross (thing is so many of the men were already large that the change in size is not as shocking as when I see a singer go from rail thin to able to block the sun at noon) Chakka can now go “through the fire” by blocking air to it. Is this going to happen to Beyonce in 20 years? (not putting Beyonce in that class of singer yet! But I think she has the charisma and staying power to grow more and more)
Anyone close to me knows that I am not just worried about my weight I am paranoid about it, but as little as I do to keep the weight off I don’t think a time will ever come that I could comfortably allow myself to balloon a 100lbs and not do something drastic to take care of it…I love the above singers and I fear that if the black community does not do more to watch its overall lifestyle that more icons will be lost. RIP Luther, Barry and Etta!
Weird thing to note the amount of 50’s and 60’s icons that passed this week – I know they were old but a bunch died at the same time (I always think older folks die in groups because the will to live is extinguished when friends depart and not because of superstitions like death in 3’s or 7’s or whatever # peeps pick)
Now back to my 2.30am bar studies!

Some of you will claim sexism I claim realism
So I saw these higlights (lowlights) on sportscenter last night and just sat in shock that they paused a game that is supposed to be the best of the best for crappy dunk attempts. What the hell? The supposed beauty of the womens' game is that they stick to fundamentals and do those well while not trying to be like men...well I guess stopping a game to try dunks isn't like men since it's not an in game dunk if everyone has to stand aside for you to try over and over again.
HORRIBLE - It cheapens the game and only makes it look more and more ridiculous. Please no one respond with the you can't do it argument because that is weak since there are many things we see that we can't do and we can comment on, plus I am not a professional athlete and if I were I would not bloody ask everyone to get out of my way so that I could try to dunk! ---something tells me that the bar has made me so bitter that I find this worse that it really is!
No I change my mind about the above statement it is as horrible as I think it is!
"Boo women doing bad dunks, HOORAY RED STRIPE" - probably what the Red Stripe guy would say!

Great development...but
Why does HIV treatment cost so bloody much? Over a $1000 a month!!! I thought we wanted to eradicate the disease!
Chappelle needs to come back
So I had planned NOT to watch the Chappelle show till after the bar then saw this part when trying to fall asleep tonight and had to watch the whole damn episode I had saved...you must watch this clip...one of his better skits - the rest of the show was sort of bland but this skit was awesome "I wrote this song in 94"

He was probably studying for the bar - A MUST WATCH
It starts slow but I guarantee that you will love it - hard to imagine anyone snapping so hard and for so long
Let the bodies hit the floor!
Our conversations in the study room are all so graphic and depressing. WE delight in conversations of murder and mayhem, breakups and death.
Though there was a stimulating moment in the study room.
X: “Dude, How do I tell her I want her to moan for me?”
Y: “Normally I find it best to just tell them directly to do it”
X: laughing
Z: “What are you laughing about?”
X: “I just asked Y how to make you moan and he told me to tell you to do so directly”
Z: “He has never gotten any has he?”
X: “Hard to tell – Is he supposed to care if she moans?”
Now I know in normal life conversations like this are not that crazy and not that stimulating but when studying for the bar simple out of place things like this can lead to raucous laughter.
Z: “He’s nice – just nice, I don’t know what else to say about him but he is nice, nice, nice…so nice”
X: “Are you describing your boyfriend or a shirt?”
This feels like it should be the Bar review theme song.
“Let the bodies hit the floor Let the bodies hit the floor Let the bodies hit the floor Let the bodies hit the floor
…
One - Nothing wrong with me Two - Nothing wrong with me Three - Nothing wrong with me Four - Nothing wrong with me One - Something's got to give Two - Something's got to give Three - Something's got to give
Now (SCREAMING) Let the bodies hit the floor
Push me again This is the end … You're all by yourself but you're not alone You wanted in now you're here Driven by hate consumed by fear Let the bodies hit the floor”

Parents can be so amazing!
You know as children we often just do not realize how much our parents mean to us or the fact that no matter how old we become our parents still just know the right things to say.
Those who know me know that my parents and I rarely talk, not because of a lack of love or anger with each other but just because that is how we are! Yet tonight out of the blue my dad called to offer some words of encouragement – I loved that…thanks old man. Love you!

Eh Congrats Italy, still wish you had lost!
Watch him fall down like a house of cards
THE BEST STRIKE OF THE ENTIRE WORLD CUP...
(thanks fat bastard for the link)
So some of you might be wondering what inspired Zidane to do that now infamous headbutt...well look at some of Materazzi's tactics from past games and you can see why most players hate playing against him
We tend to forget that Maradona was crazy on and off the field...check out this short clip of him kicking ass from his days at Barcelona

Damn you
Thats all I can think of right now as I sit in a study room 13 minutes before closing and the only light that is available to me is the one coming from my laptop screen...it is idiotic to turn the lights off 13 minutes before closing you damn asses. I am blogging this because I need the LRC for the next 2 weeks and if I don't get this anger out up here while I stumble around searching for my study material I will go downstairs and get BANNED from the LRC for life!!!!
YOU SONS OF BITCHES!
YOU SONS OF BITCHES!
WARNING some crazy knockouts follow
(Remember 2morrow is the world cup brunch at casa de cali-J)
This is a sickening hit...but while studying for the bar all I can think is TORT/BATTERY/Aggravated/no reasonable person reacts like that/ATTEMPTED murder (cause cot damn he tried to kill him with that hit!
This one is probably the craziest choke out I have seen in a basketball game the kid has seen too man UFC fights you only need to watch the first 10 seconds everything else is just Fox News fanning the flames - watch how the kid just pummels the kid after he gets him to the floor.
Thanks Josh for inspiring this fresh round of time wasting

"It's a survival story...true ghetto story"
I was so surprised to see this as the "new joint of the day" On BET today, this video has been out so long it was hard for me to realize that it might be still new to the American Audience, big ups to di man Cham - something tells me that due to the fact there is an actual commercial product with the title 'Baby Cham' he had to drop the 'baby' tag - kind of like Mr. Lex formerly lexus

I know some people do not care to live...
But there is no reason to risk my life with you! Tonight after studying for the bar and then lifting at the gym I stopped to put petrol in the car. A car pulled up next to me when I was almost done and a Grizzly Adams looking chap stepped out and started pumping petrol across from me. He then proceeded to do something that I immediately knew something was wrong with but I could not place my finger on…then in horror it dawned on me as a familiar smell hit my nose and I nearly jumped out of my skin….
The idiot across from me had taken a step back from the pump pulled out a box of matches and LIT a cigarette in front of me and BEGAN SMOKING!!!!
Forget the fact that years of science have told us that fire plus gasoline = big boom! Common sense tells you that fire plus a GAS STATION = potential CATASTROPHE.
I was in such shock that I couldn’t even get the words out properly …”What the hell are you doing”. Just as I said it the pump clicked, I was done: I jumped in my car and peeled out (I think the door didn’t even close) before anything crazy could happen…I fought the urge to turn back and try and snap a picture with the camera phone figuring the spectacle of the picture was not worth the chance of being the bbq on 4th of July!
A bloody idiot like that should not be allowed to have a driver’s license!

A Picture Share!
Seeing this coming home after studying for the bar really makes me miss zoology. Life was simpler then.
Some of my favourite clips from the Maury Povich show
You have to play this with sound and take close note of how certain she is that he is the father - with percentages like that she should work for MIT.
this second one comes under the heading of - HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW? I mean we all have our moments of denial but uhmm take a look in the mirror, then look at your wife THEN look again at your kid...I can't believe they actually needed a DNA test? Wouldn't a picture of all 3 have been just as good?
Ok this guy became the #1 Maury Paternity clip - that says alot right there...he is also a sad example of a man: It is ez to produce a kid much harder to raise one, especially if you are a kid yourself...

Just to make you smile...more for the guys but I know girls like to look too
Wives and Girlfriends of the world cup stars! There are some real hotties in the bunch!
The world cup is over!
It has officially become Euro 2006…which isn’t a bad thing in terms of excitement.
I do not understand the British fans railing at Cristiano Ronaldo for pointing out to the ref that his team mate had just received a crushing blow to the baby makers thanks to the heel of Rooney: many of the English fans on the message boards are screaming bloody murder because a man decided to stick up for his countryman and team mate rather than for the guy he plays club football (Manchester United) with!
Utter nonsense on the part of the Brits – you play for country first and club second! And damn it if your team mate has his cream producers creamed by another man’s heel you damn well better let the referee know about it. Rooney was an idiot for the kick and that’s it now go home and make some porridge because that bastard should be sitting at home sulking with Ms. Muffet for weeks for that unsportsmanlike like shot! I hope they suspend him for that travesty.

Rush Limabugh busted with viagra!
Read this then write your own Joke…I do love how so many of the “moral majority” types keep getting busted via sex related stories (not saying they are doing stuff that is wrong) after lashing out so much against the indecency of others. Take for instance Bill O’Reilly attacking Pepsi for hiring Ludacris because of his lyrics towards women and because he was a rap artist then later having his phone sex records released (seriously man what do you want to do with that falafel?). Now its Rush’s turn…every few months it seems like I hear about him and a new ‘prescription.’
Dallas Austin – how are you going to travel to Dubai one of the strictest countries in terms of drug laws with cocaine in your pocket? Makes no damn sense!

Always interesting the machinations of government!
Missed it by one vote! I bet this one will be back around again
R.I.P. Christopher...prayers!
So yesterday I did not post his name or an article with his name because enough information had not been given out to the general public. But now that the dean has sent a general email to the law school and his family members have been notified and I was told by some of his friends to post this article I think it is now safe to post his name.
I know for many people this is hard to stomach and to understand and for many it could not have come at a worse time (in terms of grieving and stress) but that is not how we must view life or situations. It is so trite to say that life goes on but sadly/comfortingly/reassuringly/inexorably time does its inevitable march. I will not say we must move on because that is ridiculous, we MUST grieve because we have lost a brother a friend a colleague.
However, I truly believe that beyond grieving we must not let our sorrow weigh us down so much that we forget to live ourselves and forget that we are still here and must carry on! Please take a moment to pray for Chris and his family and to pray for each other - do not forget to have a kind word for your colleagues and if in the tragedy of losing Chris you realize that there is someone that you need to take the time out to talk to, or whisper "I love you" to or even just say a simple thing like "I'm sorry" just do it, do not wait for the next best time because you never know if that next best time will ever come.
I apologize because I know this is not very articulate and sadly not an adequate tribute, but I am weighed down by what has happened and the fact that I am studying for the bar. But, I have a blog I always post my feelings and right now I am feeling shock and if this causes you to take a second like I did to reflect then forgive my lack of polish, look beyond its flaws and say a prayer for me as I will say a prayer for you...

Usd 2L law student killed by a drunk driver!
I am not posting his name right now to give more of his friends time to find out from better sources than a blog - but I am just in shock - that a DRUNK DRIVING 19 year old took out a school mate! I warn you that the link shows a picture of the car and it is somewhat disturbing.
The news report about the incident...I am with you Peter - It makes me heart sick!

An amazing goal from back in the day...12 second clip watch the sick curve
As a kid before I dislocated both knees - I used to try and always kick it like Roberto Carlos (operative word 'try') - I loved the Pepsi ad with the little kid staring in awe at the right back and shouting to his friends "Rob-Burt-toe Carrrrrr-los" Everytime I scored a goal from range I used to shout it out in the same tone like the little kid's because I was always in awe at the man's insane ability to cross a ball into the 18. Beckham may get the hype for his 'bends' and he is truly great at servicing the box (oh man that sounds so horrible - now that I live in America) but for my money I will take Roberto Carlos 6 out of 10 and Becks for the other 4 to get the ball to my strikers or to score from distance.
A 10 year erection...now thats rough
This poor guy has had a 10 year erection! Hard to imagine that the company would still claim that the device does not work...though I guess if you view it as 'the device was created to provide an erection' then permanently having one would mean that the device is working perfectly.

Anything but studying...
Bar Prep is killing me so I started looking at this! It really brightened up the dreariness of the library. A few personal preferences #5 #7 (for the Jersey)#10 (I like her national pride)#54 (Nice shorts) #66 (R we seeing up Toni's dress?) #77 (I know it's juvenile but come on she has a ball on her lips how could I not smile at that?)
I started watching it and could not turn away
So I received this video from my sis and decided to just watch a few seconds of it, then I couldn't turn away. I am sure it is the gracefulness of the dancing and not the fact that every second it looks like a wardrobe malfunction is about to happen. Dutty wine has become popular back home and now I can share why with the non-Jamaican readers.
I eagerly await seeing this on a SD dance floor, I am sure some of the USD girls can pull this off - well maybe the hair tossing part.

Yet another reason Y kids are fat
Seriously who thought it would be a good idea to serve this in school? And do we really need a political debate over this?

"We are prepared to die for our Country!"
I know some of you may not watch the games till the tape delay so if learning the result of the game spoils it for you –stop reading now.
So it is my firm belief that the effort was not there from one side and that no matter what the result in the Italy Game would ultimately be the US team did not play like they wanted to move on (I know they wanted to – they just didn’t play like it). Say what you want about the ref and he was atrocious today – America did not deserve more than a tie today at best and that was not going to cut it anyway.
When your team captain makes a egregious error in the back field and clearly causes a goal I think much of your spirit is broken. But even before that the team lacked fire and competency. I am saddened by this effort – I wanted the US to go to the next round but today they showed that they didn’t deserve to – so disappointing. Listen to what the Ghana captain had said before the game “We are prepared to die for our country” that is some fire inna yuh belly kinna talk. The US had none of that.
Bruce Arena may want to dust of his resume because he produced this team and did not seem to inspire them to greatness. Before the World Cup I said Dempsey should start – Arena disagreed with almost every fan of the US team and sat Dempsey the entire first game he then sat Eddie Johnson all of the 2nd game favoring aging players who had showed no spark. I love that Demps got the goal today (the only goal scored by a US player) because he silenced all his critics and showed why many of us think he could be a star (he plays MLS…take of that what you will). I am not the quickest to say that a coach should be fired because I think too often fans scream for coaches heads but think of this as he has done all he can – if you hired someone to dig a well and all they showed up with was a shovel, once they start and clearly cannot finish the job you would replace them…maybe it’s now time for the US to hire someone with at least a pick axe.
Ghana 2 US 1; Italia 1 Czechs 0: Italy and Ghana advance!
If di fassy woulda jus play di bwoy dem weh have di talent fi put di rahtid ball inna di back a di rahtid net CONCACAF couldda have more dan jus soso Mexico inna di game fi rep wi!

Secret Training video of the Italian team practicing how to flop!
Ok so the video is a joke (produced by the BBC for Euro 2004) but it cracked me up that on the Espn football message boards, people are going crazy thinking it was actually the way Italy trained to play the US

Real people acting out a fight sequence from Tekken

Paige Davis on Let's make a deal
May have been the most retarded gameshow performance ever: She started with altoids with the option to trade it for whatever was behind the curtains and never at any point chose what was behind the curtains; even though on one option the CLUE was GROUND TRANSPORTATION...bear in mind she is playing for charity on a charity game show, so you know you are guaranteed at least a decent prize...I will just take the rest from wikipedia.com (yes her moment was so bad it earned an article)
"Round 3
Paige Davis, dressed as Little Bo Peep, was given a tin of Altoids Mints (worth $1.50). Ricki then offered to trade the mints for what was behind Curtain #2. Paige chose to keep the mints (over an apparent battle with nausea), giving up a Jeep Wrangler SE 4x4 worth $19,135.
She was then offered what was behind Curtain #3, which was partially revealed to show a year's supply of Turtle Wax worth $50. She still kept the mints, and passed on another car, a Dodge Charger worth $22,995, for a total package of $23,045.
Finally, Paige was offered a chance to trade for Curtain #1, with the hint that it hid something to do with GROUND TRANSPORTATION. Once again, she kept the mints, passing on a Cadillac CTS V6 VVT worth $35,080.
So after passing on THREE cars in a row, Ricki opened the mints and revealed a check inside the tin for $3500 cash. This is a recreation of a famous deal that was also previously recreated on the 2003 revival.
Total Winnings: $3,501.50 (incl. the Altoids)"
Seriously the charity must be watching and wishing just once she would pick a DAMN CAR! Just one damn it...

Make it jump...A Car hopping video!
Most of you have probably seen Car Hopping, but check out how high some of these cars go in the video and watch when the car crashes. Maniacos indeed! Someone is definitely going to be killed doing this...because there is no cure for stupidity (not the car hopping but the idiots who will stay too close).
Makes it easier to score if you hold the defender!
Come on man, you broke the hearts of many in the Caribbean by grabbing that hair.

I do not smoke ganja...
But I think people still think I do even though I have never done it before, have always refused offers etc. However, as soon as I logged on last night I was inundated with people offering me this link. In fact Laura even placed it in my myspace comments (hah there’s your shout-out). It might have something to do with being Jamaican, or the fact that I do not judge those who choose to smoke it, it’s just not for me. I like to keep my vices to things that can make me fat, you know: Ice cream, alcohol and women!
Is it just me or has Comedy Central teased us for a bloody year re Chappelle show?
Let it be know I am tagging someone in the LRC between now and the bar “Consider yourself warned”
Fantasy football is almost here – to the bastards that slaughtered me in the league last year and the year b4 etc…revenge is a dish best served 3 years cold: To the general public, if you have a favorite football player; you probably do not want me to draft him, because that guarantees he will become injured…see T.O., Priest Holmes, Daunte Culpepper, Mcnabb etc.

Fun video and mild America bashing!
So I must confess, because Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago are often America’s rivals (note b4 you jump down my throat I just said rivals not equals) in most sports that America participates in internationally, I am usually quick to gloat in America’s defeats…it’s the same with watching OU play anyone else I just want to see them defeated: EXCEPT when the honor of the big 12 is on the line! And the same goes for football, if Jamaica had made this World cup I would have rooted my hardest for Jamaica and T & T and while not actively rooting against America I would have probably enjoyed the whipping we received.
BUT now it’s just sad, I really, really wanted America to do well and it shows how badly she has performed that PRIDE is now taken in the fact that the Ukraine suffered a worst defeat than it. Thing is I think much of the world is fed up with the US’ antics the pretense that if ‘we are not good at it then its not a sport’ or “if we throw enough money at it we will conquer it” and finally “change the game to suit us” Football is beautiful as it now exists – anyone who reads my blog knows that I love American football (TEXAS NATIONAL CHAMPS) but nothing compares to sitting on the couch and watching a team just play football/futbol/futbole the proper way. So enjoy the video and root hard for America against Italy and Ghana, because to be honest I am selfish – I hope that the better America gets at football the more I will be able to see top flight matches on my tele! By top flight I mean non-MLS! Sorry my friends it just doesn’t cut it even though I own a few MLS jerseys. I would rather see Henry, Ronaldinho xs2 and Rooney than Donovan and Adu any day. Oh and joga bonita hype featuring the American team probably didn’t help the world’s view of American hype.
Quick note to the above rivals v equals statement: for our size and economic prowess, both Jamaica and T &T do very well against America with Jamaica doing better than T & T in almost everything (we even made it to the World cup 1st) – now here is hoping half my bloodline doesn’t read that last paragraph!!

Lime juice may prevent HIV transmission?
I KNOW I SHOULD BE STUDYING BUT THIS IS IMPORTANT TO LEGAL SCHOLARS…after all we all know that we are a bunch of freaks. A friend sent me this article (and no they were not giving me a hint), but for the rest of you I have posted it as a hint. I know some of you nasty bastards need all the help you can get!!!!!
By the way it is merely coincidental that I was seen buying limes last week, I assure you it was just for culinary purposes!

Congrats to the land of my blood line Trinidad and Tobago!
Smallest nation in the world cup EVER: odds of winning 2000:1 Sweden’s odds 40:1 T and T played with only 10 men for the second half. Result of the match: A DRAW….go deh soca warriors! To keep in perspective just how great an accomplishment this was, the US is the #5 ranked team in the world and their odds are 101:1 to win.
I agree with the first yellow card for Avery John since it was a late tackle but on the second yellow I think the ref was a bit trigger happy! Come on man the usual idea is that on a 50-50 tackle if the player gets the ball it is not a card-able offense, but oh well, only made the draw that more exciting.
I do love that the Ivory Coast quit a CIVIL war to cheer for their team in the World Cup! Too bad that they definitely will not win their first game that I am currently watching.

Of Clint Dempsey and world cup sadness
Check out this story about Clint Dempsey. World cup starts in 9 hours: wish I didn't have the bar cause I just feel like this is going to be one of the better world cups.
NO water at the house and the bar is making me dumber
Apparently the more I study for the bar the less I am actually learning. My scores on practice tests are dropping rather than rising. I am hoping this has something to do with the fact that I tend to make my practice tests at 11pm.
Came home today to find the city of San Diego outside our complex with a bunch of construction workers all just sitting on the side of the road: staring at a gaping hole with water gushing out of it: first words to the roomie were “Hope this doesn’t affect our water” he believed it wouldn’t because he still has faith in the city of San Diego – I share no such illusions. So of course once we got to the appt it was no shock that we had no bloody water.
If I thought it would help I would go outside and ask the 5 guys that are just staring at the water “Why the hell are you not doing something?” Damn it I left the 3rd world with the hope that I would always have basic utilities: Ok so that’s not why but so many of my American friends are under the mistaken impression that Jamaica and anywhere not named the USA has no infrastructures, that I often make jokes about how much we suffer ‘back home’
I think the bar has made me bitter: nothing is good enough for me anymore. And anyone not going the maximum speed on the highway is a slacker and deserves death or at the very least to get out of my way.

6-6-6?
Well if you are suspicious and ignore the fact that there is a zero before the last 6 then I guess today could freak you out 6-6-06!
Great timing by the producers of the omen to release today, even if what all the critics say is true and it's a crappy movie! As Tiff mentioned to me though, kind of crazy to see an actress that is in my age group playing the role of a mom with a young child who looks to be at least 6 - 7 and if they are following the original movie as close as they claim she would have had 2 miscarriages prior to producing this kid. Yes I know peeps have kids young, it just trips me out to see it: I think of Julia Stiles as always playing some teenager.

Big ups to Busy Signal
Nice to see him featured on the front page of Billboard.com.
It cracks me up though; like I always tell my American friends when they are trying to tell me about a 'new' song, most dancehall songs once they get to America have already been playing for years back home. But heck it's the same for European songs and even some American artists that release abroad so still come to me with new songs cause you never know when it might be 'new' to me and I love all music!
Check out Busy's song 'Step out' when you get a chance, though if you live in San Diego like I do expect to wait a few more months so that we can catch up with the rest of the Nation!

U R now about to witness the strength…of Bob Saget
“Who you rolling with…Bob Saget…my best friend”
If that line makes sense to you then you are as guilty as I am and have been watching Jamie Kennedy’s new show…it has its funny moments, mostly centered around Jamie and Stu’s rapping. I have been listening to some of the songs available online and they are crazy “Circle circle dot dot, I got my cootie shot”!
To those watching X3 anytime soon, my roomie has advised me that there is a scene after the credits have completely rolled, so just a heads up to any planning to go check the movie out.
Dirk v Shaq for the title, guess it makes sense poetically since they were nearly traded for each other 2 years ago, now we can see who wins out head to head. If anyone knows me they know that my pick is going to be the Texas team, though if Dallas wins my ex is going to make my life unbearable with her crowing. No way to get around it, I want Dallas to win, but I don’t want Lyoness to have the free boasting opportunity.

About Me
- Cali J
- Cali-J ueber alles in der Welt. Some think that I am mean; (I call them friends), in fact I am not that mean. What I am is sarcastic and dry to the sandpaper level. I have friends that I have never said a kind word to their face, but I praise to the ends of the earth to anyone I know and will defend them to the end. That’s just how I roll! My boys know that I am down for them, my girls know that no matter what I will keep them safe (and occasionally flirt with them [If you are a female friend of mine and think I haven’t flirted with you it just means you didn’t notice, it was extremely subtle or…not yet ]). No one is safe from my sarcasm even my own parents; hence of course as a kid I spent a significant amount of time in punishment. I treat people with respect if I think they deserve it – everyone starts off with the same amount of respect from me (a lot). You don’t need to earn my respect; you have to keep my respect.
