Free flow from my brain in class

Sitting in class with a beer, and of course now I need to go break the seal and go like a racehorse. Damn these long rows. A portion of my IM convo conducted in class
aaron (5:59:41 PM): I am drinking beer eating cookies and playing dominoes

Sadly that is a basic layout of my class experience today. Oh man I wish that chic 3 persons down did not have her legs sprawled I need to cut out and make it to the restroom…oh man gotta run, whew made it to the rest room. Now tried to sneak a beer back in, chickened out half way – chugged half of it, left the other half in the corner of the room – should be safe. Damn I am getting my ass kicked in bones. Why didn’t those assholes move their feet when I was trying to walk out, not sorry I stepped on his foot, no innocent victims in this game



Texas update #1

So I figured I should, give some update to my loyal readers about the Great Texas Adventure of the Cali-J. So over various blogs I will update y’all as to some of the various activities and things that I got involved in. So first off the song of the week was without a doubt, “I’m in love with a stripper”…and no I did not actually fall in love with a stripper, but I came close! So sadly I found out that one of my boys is addicted to strip clubs and then I met the girl of one of my boys who was going to begin her stripping debut, the day I flew out. She dropped this gem on me: “What’s the difference between a stripper and a cocktail waitress?...2 weeks” (and if you don’t get that let it marinate and then ask a friend) Ironically his girl had only been working at the club as a waitress for 2 weeks exactly when she began to strip.

So if you are from the Deep South you know that the proper pronounciation for the word stripper is Scrip-puh (with heavy emphasis on the puh). So how did “In love with a Scrip-puh” become the anthem for the trip? Well I guess it had a lot to do with the fact that within 5 minutes of meeting my boy’s girl, she dropped her top and showed me as well as my 2 homies that were with me her boobs (it was awesome)! There is no better introduction to someone than for them to strip bare! The night was supposed to end with her streaking, but sadly/fortunately the night ended too abruptly for that.

I guess tomorrow I have to blog about Ms. 70 though I have a feeling my ex will not appreciate that, plus my views on how many peeps a girl can sleep with before she is considered a ho will not be well viewed by my female viewers.

You can't help but smile at this...

Savor the Flavor of love...

It has been described as the “Black Bachelor” but oh it is so much more than that…it’s the Ghetto/White Trash/Redneck Bachelor all rolled into one, for proof of the trash statement note that one of the ladies “Pumkin” in the final three was white and SPAT in the face of her rival (Cot-damn I thought “New York” was going to ‘cut’ her). So tune in tonight, it is guaranteed to be crazy and tonight is a ‘best of’ show so you will be able to catch up on all that you may have missed.

You can catch it on VH1 at 10pm or midnight tonight!

Oh to be married to a...

Hot Russian pop singer that allows you to cheat on her...as an NBA ball player?

Congratulations...

Shed a tear for me...

So I just got back in from a great bar review and I am now blogging at 2.26am and I can’t help but think that in Texas (Tejas for my Latin American readers) I would still be in a bar…oh yes indeed the night life in SD is limited. So I now have more tears on me than a girl watching ‘Tears of Endearment’ the doc just informed me today that I have a minor tear in my left ankle and a minor (if any in the knee can be considered minor) tear in a ligament in my left knee. My apologies to any of the young ladies I dance with tonight, if my dancing appeared a bit stilted – that’s what happens when your dance partner is wearing a bandage and a brace, in a couple weeks “whatcha now!”

So my doctor has finally prescribed Ambien CR to me, however I cannot take it tonight because I promised her I would not take it with alcohol and if there is one thing I do it is keep promises. My doc and I are cool with each other and I am 100% honest with her (after all if there is anyone you need to confess habits to it’s gotta be the person who gives you drugs) and she knows my habits of mixing alcohol with pills. Amazing that I have never taken an illicit drug in my life (though I have no problem with others taking them in fact in many cases I think some of the illicit drugs are better than legal ones like tobacco) but I practically have a pharmacy at my home – you want a hallucinogen I got that – need a mood alterer I got that – need an allergy pill that will make you; drowsy; alert; sleep I got that; - want to make sure your friend can’t avoid the toilet sadly I got that too (I was a practical joker in a past life the ones who know me best know about the vodka and Milk of Magnesia trick)

I swear at some pt I will give a recap of the Texas trip – It was great and some of the pictures will be released on a password protected picture site.

Final drink for this austin trip. Thanks for the crash Z!

They see me rolling…

So a friend of mine (G-dub) has called me a masochist for what I am doing right now (which is hanging out with my ex) and sadly I may have to agree with her. What would make me think that the woman, who hated me so much that she took a $300 loss on a ticket rather than come see me, would be happy to see me now?

I must have been drinking when I thought that it would be a good plan to kick it in a 1 bedroom appt with someone who actually cares enough that they will wake up in the morning for class, and hence has no time to entertain the likes of slackers like myself.

I seriously contemplated getting A. A rental car and high-tailing it back to the ATX or B. Getting a hotel room either in SA or the ATX. However, I couldn’t do it because I respect her way too much…I just wish I felt like I was respected the same. By the way do not get it twisted, just because we are in a 1 bedroom appt does not mean that we are sharing a bed, I sadly know so little about her life that I do not even know if some other dude has a claim to that spot and sharing a bed is not the type of relationship that we have.

Just like old times huh…never fear pervs who are waiting: I will be getting a tonne of pics later 2nite at Fat Tuesday, debating whether I will post them or just email them to y’all!

No matter how bad I think it is

There is always something that can uplift me...An amazing story!

Sleeping near is much diff from sleeping in

Cot damn…I can’t sleep and now I want a bloody rental car…could the vibe be worse? I guess if it was like my last trip to Texas. I know what I did wrong in the past; question is what have I done wrong in the present?

Or maybe it’s just the copious amounts of allergy medication mixed in with Alcohol making me depressed. (In the last 3 days I have tried 4 different brands of Allergy medication) Thing is I forgot that I had been taken off allegra for having what appeared to be mood swings while on it (didn’t know allergy meds could do that – but heck I am a bit weird so who knows). When peeps will not let me have a bed, the rum has always been there for me, that plus the ice cream and I think I can manage the world.

Do not judge me – we all have our demons I am just open about mine…3 main vices and sadly I am with all 3 right now!

My sentiments

Austin would be paradise...

…Except for the fact that I am allergic to it…I had not been here an hour before I started developing a scratchy throat; runny nose and itchy eyes, bloody hay/cedar fever! I had forgotten how bad it can be out here. My sorrow in missing the ATX somehow managed to bury the pain I used to feel living here. I remember weeks on end passing with me only having a vague idea of time passing I was so high on allergy medication. The week I blew out my knee, between the pain medication and the allergy pills I was lucky to remember my name…I think I started drooling on the pillow when I came to Austin – I never did that growing up…”I don’t like the drugs but the drugs like me”

MUCH LOVE TO THE PRINCESS of the ATX for putting me up and throwing a dinner party to welcome me in. And I appreciate y’all trying to make me feel welcome by rolling over and taking that ass kicking from me in dominoes. I love kicking it here on the 3rd coast but y’all just cannot hang with my west coast domino skills. If the billiards playing out here is like the dominoes I am going to wreck shop 2nite. On a serious note the food was great and the company was awesome…sorry for the trash talking (I am not a nice person – but I love y’all).

To my readers who are not from the ATX , Z has been threatening me with an ass kicking in billiards for so long that now I am afraid to sleep at night – in fact she threatened me in front of everyone to sleep with one eye open: Of course now that I am blinded with allergies and hopped up on Benadryl she might have a chance. Cali-J ueber alles in der Welt

Later today I have to go shopping for Texas gear: I followed the PCU rule as pointed out by soon to be ex-wife #1 that “you can’t wear the shirt of the band that you are going to see” so as such I have not brought any Texas gear with me (well except for the Technomarine – I can’t go a week without something burnt orange) in the hope that I will obtain a tonne of new Texas apparel…can I get on the plane with a shotty?

So I am sitting here in the ATX public library, because I wanted to look up my gym’s locations in town, as well as peruse Texas stuff online. I lived in the ATX for a long time and never set foot in the public library and now the first day I am back I register as a library user?

Espn's cool new gadget the Trade Machine!

I wanted to see if there was anyway that "my" San Antonio Spurs could get Kevin Garnet...and according to espn.com it worked, I used the Knicks as the sucker 3rd team cause lets be honest right now everyone thinks the Knicks are trade bait.

I should have packed already!

You gotta love my complex, I have to fly out later today and I cannot get into my garage to get my luggage! Oh well if I can’t get in later in the morning it just means that I get to kick in a door.

The olympics are heating up

Nice

"Charlie the wise" now speaks to the nation

So I have a class that is amazing and by amazing I truly mean – the world is not ready for this but I am too lazy to use my own words so I have decided (with permission to directly quote a classmate of mine

“I hate my prof. This lady is so over educated that i think I have more work expirience than she does. I really want to pull out my hair, dunk myself in hot tar, take a sianide pill, take a roofy, take a walk off a cliff. I mean I am a very happy person and godammit this shit is so bad I want to  end it now and pray for a god that will understand, he/she will be like "yes I fucked up so bad when I created my (employment law prof) that not only is your suicide justified, but i commend you for it" because this lady is that fucking brutal. I have been around down sydrome kids with bettter presence and more refined public speaking skills and that is not a joke, seriously I have, this lady sucks.”
--Charlie

One day to Cali-J arriving in Texas!

So the Cali-J is returning to the ATX 2morrow where he used to be plain old “Diggity Dogg” aka “The Jamaican” (back in the day I had more aliases than dollars in the bank). Sadly however I have not done any packing, in fact I have not even done my laundry yet. I LOVE flying (love turbulence – makes you feel so alive once you come through them [which is y it’s a bit weird that I hate roller coasters]) I just hate the crap that goes on around the trip – sadly rather than do some parts of laundry I have purchased new clothing – all new undershirts, underwear (boxer briefs for the ones who must know) new socks; black (dress) and white (athletic); in fact because I do not want to search for my (skinny) belt I will just purchase a new one tomorrow. Even my handkerchiefs are new, though mysteriously I have already lost the damn package.

I may just purchase all new dress shirts 2morrow rather than laundering the ones that I possess. Bloody trip is costing me more than just the cost of a ticket…I just hate packing, in fact I am willing to pay someone to do my packing for me: I miss the good old days of just throwing all sorts of random crap in a suitcase because I knew my mom would wash it for me on arrival in the isle – now that I am a grown man I refuse to travel with dirty clothes.

So I was asked if I am excited about the trip – I am sure I will be eventually but right now there is a combination of laziness (packing) apprehension that the princess of the ATX might beat me in pool (can I live after that) and wondering if I should travel with my green card.

Seriously if I lose to Z in pool I might not return to SD, so if I have to drop out of law school this is all on your head Z…you hear me PRESS THIS ON YOUR CONSCIENCE!

Is that you?

So I am a bit mad that they are improving push up bras: It is already damn hard to tell what is going on under that blouse and now they have scientifically improved them? It is just not fair to the consumer!

They should announce every game!

The NBA dunk competition was off the chain…but even better than the dunk competition may have been the commentating by the holy trinity of basketball commentators: Charles Barkley, Kenny “The Jet” Smith and Magic Johnson, no one beats those 3 in terms of sheer comedy (sadly for Magic much of his is unintentional) I love the fact that Barkley just does not care who he rags on. I mentioned to my boy R at dinner that if Barkley had ever won a championship we might never have heard the end of it.

I love Barkley’s comment re Nate Robinson (eventual winner) re disappointment at failed dunks “luckily he plays for the Knicks so he is used to disappointment” Also their comment earlier about the Knicks possibly not even being able to win the NCAA tourney had me rolling.

Please Mr. Cheney do not point that at me...

Ok so I have held off on making fun of the whole Cheney is a “psychopathic killer” with a gun; I refrained from saying “He is surgical with that shit”; an assassin; “wrong wigger to mess with” etc but the Sand Assassin sent me the shot chart with what Cheney did to that dude and I gotta say: DAMN the VP is a “STONE COLD KILLAH” Could he have pumped his homey with more birdshot? Possibly, if he had stood over him and unloaded another round other than that nope: Click on the links above to see how much Cheney unloaded on his hunting “partner”
Since he didn’t have the relevant stamp: Does this mean that he was hunting illegally? And if the guy dies as a result of this illegal hunting – what then?

My ode to Valentines Day…

YOU SUCK…no I am not jaded in fact most years I try to avoid having a significant other around this time of the year (this year I have no choice). But I truly hate what this (fake) holiday does to people especially the weak minded. The day and its commercial backers try to push the value of a relationship and the need to give gifts (cleverly disguised as expressions of love) to those who we care about it…I say a plague on you Hallmark and all your ilk.

I had thought of throwing a Valentines day Bar Review for us all to get together; singles and couples to have fun on the day and then I thought better of it because it felt like I would be promoting the day (plus I am lazy, planning one bar review a week is enough for me) that I despise.

If you enjoy the one you are with then show them that love year around; oh and screw that whole “It’s just a day to take time out and show them extra attention etc” NO! Because if you have been treating your significant other right the whole year around, you do not need to lavish them with extra attention on a random day, that’s what their Birthday, your anniversary and Christmas are for (or you could be like me and never know when your anniversary is, so that you have to be nice for the whole damn month that you think your anniversary is – no dear I did not give you those gifts out of guilt – just a sense of obligation j/k).

So here is what I think, as soon as the object of your affection walks by today, just give them a good smack on the rump, hell give it a good squeeze, after all what better way is there to say I love you than physical aggression on the derriere.

Check out my latest articles in Motions!

Can’t end a rant on Valentines day w/o a quote from my new visual obsession “Flavor of Love” from VH1... “It’s hard to watch the one you love with another woman…and a big girl at that…Don’t mess with the N.Y. cause I will cut you! (slashing motion)”

Oh to be a kid again

So since my game with the ladies has basically reverted to grade school (I just want to pull hair and spank them...sorry got carried away for a sec) skill level. I had a Saturday morning cartoons fest. I vegged on the couch ate cereal (Cinnamon Toast crunch [cant beat that flavor] and Honey Bunches of Oats [I’m old – need fiber]) then watched “The Batman”, “TMNT (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the Un-hip)” and “GI Joe – Sigma 6”. I know I am getting old when I start to wonder if there is too much violence in the TMNT, but damn it’s still fun to watch. GI Joe is not as fun as I remember it; their new format is just not fun, great animation but horrible plot lines…really was hoping I would catch an episode of Transformers but alas that was not to be.

I miss Voltron, Go-bots, Mask and He-Man. Plus I would love to see some old school Captain Planet (even though as a child I hated that Cartoon – now I have fond memories of it after all what is better than “LET OUR POWERS COMBINE”) though the kid that got stuck with “heart” as a power truly got punked by the creators.

"Dont cha wanna be jus' like mi"

So Now that I have booked my flight to the ATX all I can think of is getting the hell out of dodge. Guess the fact that every single young lady I want cannot be with me right now...this is putting a severe cramp in the marriage plans.

Keys to living the Cali-J life, drink vodka and rum for much of the night, take a sleeping pill and then not fall asleep for the next 3 hours. I would have expected that, that drug stew would have put me out by now, instead I am debating if I can ride my bike to the gym right now...since clearly I can't drive there.

Damn it girl, I WANT YOU!

Are the Grammy’s even relevant any more?

MC or you might know her as Mariah Carey won 3 Grammys last night…normally a good haul for anyone but a crappy night for her when you think about the fact that Kelly Clarkson won TWO and by winning those two she beat MC in each category. Come on now Kelly Clarkson over Mariah? U2 winning album of the year? It was a decent album, but nothing great
I do not watch the Grammys in fact for much of last night I didn’t even know/care that it was on. I just tend to check the stats afterwards since cnn.com and other sites splash it all over their front pages, but damn I look at some of the winners and just have to stare in shock.

     I believe that there is a disconnect between the regular fan and the academy that votes for winners. Now I do not believe that just because your album was a huge seller it makes you automatically a good album, in fact I was disappointed to see Gwen Steffani even in the running for album of the year. But some of the bands that are pulling down wins are just ridiculous. It also sometimes seems like a band is honored just for making it through another year and thus given a grammy

Hahaha Kanye West is so damn cocky, you just gotta be amused!

Thieving beeyotches

So I bashed the school re the lack of internet yesterday…now sadly I am pissed at our students. WHAT THE HELL IS WITH ALL THE THEFTS? You stinking bastards we all go to school together and we all know the high cost of living here, the cost of books, laptops etc. Now I am not naïve enough to say that if I leave my computer on a bench outside the law school I expect it to remain there for an hour, but cot damn I am hearing stories of things being taken from desks within the law school etc. A friend of mine had her wallet taken from her while she went to the restroom in the library; my neighbor had her wireless card stolen while she went upstairs in the law school and came right back down, what the hell is this? You thieving bastards should have a hand removed…must we live in such a state of apprehension that to now go to the restroom I have to take my entire backpack with me? DIE SLOW!


Just another example of why I think Michael Jordan is the greatest ever:
www.espn.com Quote of the Day"If I had to pick the best player in the game, he certainly is up there right now in the way that he approaches the game. . . . Anybody can go out and take a lot of shots and end up with 81 points, but if you lose, who cares? He was in a great rhythm and went out and played well. So you have to commend him for that. [But] if I were on the other side, there would be no way I would have been able to be in that game without six fouls."
I love that attitude and it is what I believe, you can’t let someone go off for 81 on you and not try to take him out.

Bloody wireless!!!!

Cot damn – the wireless in this school sucks. I actually walked into the LRC expecting to get some work done (sadly not school work but some research) only to find that there was no wireless access in the reading room. What the hell is this crap? I thought we were supposed to be a modern school, a school on the rise, a school with an eye towards technology (peep the expensive video screens positioned near doors that can tell you the current weather in San Diego [I am writing at 9.33pm and I am going to predict the weather for 2morrow – sunny prolly around 65])
     I read that BS email re the peer to peer networks causing problems, but come on now this is getting ridiculous. Hard to imagine p2ps causing this much trouble when no one can even log on to get on a p2p. Right now I would appreciate more from the school than a p2p excuse, honestly a “Fu@k you we don’t care about you” or even a “Go blow yourself we have a crappy system and we have not yet figured out how to fix it” that would be best.

Just come with answers not excuses please!

How hard is it to run a network?

This is utter BS – My solitaire game has improved to the point that I think I can predict cards coming out of the dealer deck. Thanks to the schools inability to provide a wireless network that works I am forced to play spider solitaire while my classmates try to answer questions in class with the ever present “It seems to me…”

Supposedly there is an email saying that the failed network is due to too many students using P2P networks, which seems rather suspect since the network fails based on what bloody room I am in. I would like to check the email but I can’t since I can’t get online dang it. Sadly the only P2P I ever see now is my wireless connection to the students PC infront of me.

Sitting in a class when you have already taken and passed the bloody exam that the class is geared towards makes it bloody hard to follow along in the class…especially when peeps are showing off with the words…”The firm I worked for did this that and the resulting ass wipe”

National Signing day

TEXAS, USC and Florida all had a decent day.

Open letter to the other occupant of the apartment...

Dear Roomie:
YOU SUCK. I have been told never to threaten anyone online, so I will not threaten you here. But that trick you played was horrible. To not warn me that the first idiot on the American Idol auditions was going to try and mimic (badly) a reggae entertainer; and to not warn me that the person he would model it after would be Dylan (one of the 5 greatest) was just wrong. But to sit here and observe the emotional pain that I went through while watching that idiot butcher Reggae now that was just cruel AND DAMN FUNNY.

That kid was so horrible I am still a bit in shock as I write to you, I half expected him to bust out a bob sled in the middle of his performance. Have no fear though I will get you back for this stunt…granted the whole “this is what we wear in Jamaica trick” that I played on you probably deserved this payback but I refuse to count us as even, so here is your open challenge the latest round of ‘top this’ has begun. Lock your doors and test your milk. (not threats just suggestions)
Best,
AARON D.

If you have not seen the new season of American Idol auditions (the only time to watch that show) you have got to start watching, the latest round of peeps to audition are honestly some of the craziest (possibly fakest) peeps in America.

Cold

Tropical boy in a football jersey in San Diego during the evening without a coat  = freezing. Damn the temp in this city can dramatically change within a couple of hours. I gotta say I love chill teachers, especially the ones who have realized that a 3rd year in the final semester is not the type of student to call on (at least not for a good answer).
Seems like this year the Super Bowl hype is much less than normal – debating having a party for it…guess I should clear it with the roomie first.

Instant bar review impressions

LIT made it hot again (ok so that is biased since I am LIT promotions) but I had fun. The bar was a tad small but the drinks were on point and I think all present had fun. I think peeps had enough to drink and I am gauging that on the fact that the Sand Assassin (if you do not know who the SA is you have not been reading the Cali-J) is now passed out on my couch and that I had a late night stuff fest at Santana’s with 9 other law students and some random girl literally picked up off the street. This one is for all peeps but especially for my boy with the above random chic ALWAYS use protection.

Random shout out to my secret…that move you pulled was wrong

I now have to type out  articles for Motions and clean my appt to the squeaky clean point since my bro is coming into town.

Allergies, knockout drugs and foam

Now that my tube of toothpaste looks more space age than my camera I think I might need to get a new digi-cam. So everything in my bathroom is now foaming (except I guess my mouth thanks to that rabies shot) my shampoo, my facial cleanser, my hand soap, my body wash and now my toothpaste. How did we ever get clean before the age of foaming cleansers? I fear that marketing has over taken technology; I have this scary thought that in 2 years I am going to be told that all these foaming cleansers are bad for me and my bone density has been reduced.

So on my way home I had a massive allergy attack, you know the type that cause your eyes to gush water and for one eye to involuntarily close, I then started to itch like a fiend. I walked into Ralphs wearing a hoodie and scratching my neck furiously while looking around wild eyed – the poor check out clerk flashed me such a nervous look that I couldn’t help but sneer at her in reply just to add to the effect.

So now I am on 2 Benadryl capsules and 2 sleeping pills if I do not get a good night’s sleep out of this, the next option will have to be a bullet to the brain.

Note to my opponent tonight – though I may have initially screamed like a girl on first grab of the ear (unfair fighting tactic by the way) I manned up quickly and sat in solemn silence therefore I am claiming the victory.

Good luck with the paper Dub-C!

I'm in love with a stripper and Costco

My new favorite song “I’m in love with a stripper” How can you beat lyrics like “yeh Mike Jones…she’s every man’s dream, God’s gift to earth, women they love them too that’s what you call a woman’s worth...she slides up and down that poll got me mesmerized” –T-Pain and Mike Jones

Costco is the devil’s playground, even with a list and a set of instructions I find myself leaving the damn place with more food than a Ugandan family of 4 could consume in 2 months. Did I really need 4 tubes of toothpaste and a gallon of mouthwash? We have more Costco stuff here than in the damn store. Yet how could I resist buying enough cinnamon toast crunch that I could paper the bottom floor of the law school? I am still uncertain how I found the strength to resist buying the 3 gallons of lotion, when I do need a bottle of lotion. This is a bit mean but I love when I see dorky looking guys buying the 50 pack box of condoms – no wait a minute that just makes me sad and I refuse to state why…Anyway U can’t beat the Costco prices for lunch…can a hotdog and soda really be that cheap and have actual food product?

I love the VH1 episodes of Ego Trip’s Race-o-Rama: “tragic mulato”

“They call me Paletero man”

This teacher is out of his mind!

Probably wasn’t the smartest thing for a teacher to do. I am surprised that no one has screamed for a law suit yet. Teachers back home humiliate students all the time, and I guess it makes us tougher – hard to believe that something like this truly caused the kid not to be able to finish the exam, I mean damn the kid is 17 years old…he is probably smart by saying he couldn’t finish because now he will probably get to retake the test and get a better score.

Now that I have gotten the decent portion part out of it – like the guys on PTI said if that had been my kid I would show up there with a Broncos jersey on and gone after the damn teacher myself. Where does a teacher get of having kids pelt another kid with paper? Seriously that teacher needs to be taught a damn lesson!

Another In Living Color trivia moment...

Dang I forgot that Rosie Perez was the choreographer for the fly girls...A million peeps got their starts on In Living Color. "I remember J-Lo when her ass was still 'hey ho'!"

Another Jab at USC...

Ok I know, I am rubbing it in, but damn it I have suffered as a Texas fan for years so I am allowed to gloat a lil bit, plus everyone has been sending/asking or laughing about this email with me so I decided to post it. Apologies to anyone who might know this poor girl.

From an email (thanks Tina)
Cheerleading, tumbling lessons and camps since age 3: $30,000.
Annual cost of attending USC: $25,000.
Annual cost for staying just the right shade of blonde: $10,000.
Cheering when the other team scores: Priceless

Check out the faces of the other cheerleaders!!! LOL!!!!

Bar Review

Sorry...

I hurt a friend today,
It’s all that I can say.
Sometimes I do wrong things, which tug at the heart strings. And then the words of reprimands that I get…ah yes those sting.  

Damn you Kobe!!!!

So I can’t let the Kobe 81 point outing go un-commented on. It is no secret that I cannot stand Kobe. I respect the kid’s game to no end, but I can’t stand Kobe as a person. The incident in Colorado notwithstanding (I think he was innocent – put himself in a dumb situation; come on who doesn’t get a love contract nowadays? Get them to sign that letter of consent and take a Polaroid or something, you cannot have groupies/hoochies/hookers/sluts or genteel women in your room as a professional athlete/celebrity and not make sure every thing is above board, she could be a nun once she enters that room, make sure everything is kosher) I think Kobe is selfish and a bad team-mate.

Was the feat amazing? Hell yeah, one of the best single game performances ever, not as good as Jordan’s flu game, but definitely above Nash’s 20+ assists games (barely). Main problem with it is that this plus the Dallas game (both games that the Lakers won) are anomalies of what happens when Kobe goes off. Is he single handedly carrying the team? Yes. Is he bad for the Lakers? Yes. As much as I hate him I think he is currently the MVP if the Lakers make the Playoffs (still early though). Thing is look at his 2 big scoring games, in the Dallas game he had ZERO assists and in this game he had 3 (as my roomie said “ 3 assists”) Kobe is a guard and he is having games of zero and 3 assists? It’s easy to just say that the rest of the team around him is just so sucky they don’t score when he passes the ball, but watch a Lakers’ game; Kobe passes the ball as often as Paris Hilton has a valid idea.

As I told J and Dub-c it is a wonder to me that a Lakers player has not been hit in the face by not expecting a Kobe pass, then again for the hit to occur Kobe would actually have to try to pass the ball to the unsuspecting team mate.

I really hope the Lakers don’t make the playoffs and that if they do make it they get swept so badly that it becomes and instant video on what not to do as a team trying to win a game – kind of like watching the Colts playing the Steelers.

It's a ONE-PEAT

If you are not a fan of USC this is the perfect site for you.  When you are hailed as the greatest team EVER – you might want to win your damn games! Till then go choke on the ONE title (not a dynasty) that you HAD and shut the hell up. The Big 12 shall rise again; the season was an anomaly the post season with huge wins by OU, Nebraska, a decent game by Tech and Colorado and the biggest win by TEXAS show why the league will be back and better than ever. HOOK ‘EM HORNS…and I am out this piece!

Quick recap...

Quick impressions of bar review last night…damn fun. On Broadway is still a bit too stuck-up for my taste (the whole you have to join a line to enter separate portions of the bar just annoys me). I am truly sorry to those who had to wait in line for what must have felt like an eternity – unfortunately the reality of the situation for any downtown bar is that late arrival (though for On Broadway even early arrival) means a fairly long wait in line.

As promised the Bar Review blog will have pictures by Monday I am just too lazy right now to comb through pics, plus I want to make sure that I do not post pictures that might cause embarrassment, as always If I have a pic of you up and you want it down just let me know and it will come down.

To the young lady that gave me shots of Petron…uhmm thanks!

To my bartender that confused my request for a vodka with pineapple as a request for a vodka triple…uhmm thanks!

Can I do this?

Damn, I’m jealous: I want to be in Vegas this weekend, granted I want to be in Vegas pretty much every weekend so nothing is new with that one. I am a bit shocked that I agreed to run in a 5K, oh well its for a DAMN good cause (cancer) and I will run till the ankle or the heart gives out whichever comes first. My only goals are to finish and not finish last, everything after that is just gravy.

Congratulations Minh

Bearded...

Realization: When there is more hair on your face than on your head it might be time to shave. The beard is so thick that for the fun of it I carved my initial (A) into it. If blogger had a method to post pics that no one could save I would post copies of it, but I just don’t want crazy pics of me posing shirtless with my initial carved into my beard floating around

I love breaks

So 2nd day of classes, 2nd day of going home during the break to have a drink…if we keep this up, the semester should fly by.

Just smile...

If we let China why not Cuba?

I agree with Jim Caple, Cuba should be allowed to play in the WBC.

Seven year anniversary!

Wow seven years ago I moved to America! Time truly does fly!

Not ready for school

So I have not gotten back into the school mix yet. Rather than reading for class which I swore at the start of the year I would diligently do: I have baked cinnamon buns; finally started to unpack; thrown away a tonne of stuff; realized that I own too many damn clothes; stretched my ankle; watched a few booty shaking videos on BET; watched the Duke game; become worried that our Tivo will not record American Idol (for my roomie) since its not playing saved videos currently; and finally thought seriously about reading.

Cinnamon bun anyone? I am taking them out a few minutes early in the hope of keeping them gooey!  Damn our oven is ridiculously strong even taking them out a few minutes early was too late.

Seriously that guy on page 3 of Motions is a sexy writer! (yes it’s a horrible plug)

Wow, talk about bad choices...

Heidi Klum, Elizabeth Hurley and Halle Berry 3 of the world’s hottest women yet all 3 have dated assholes that have cheated on them, publicly humiliated and in Ms. Berry’s case hit her, and yet the Cali-J remains single – hmm somehow life just does not seem fair.

I am here for you ladies...

Sexist

Trying to figure out on my morality spectrum as to which is worse; wishing she were dead or planning ways in which I would eliminate her if I could get away with it.

This is 100% sexist I know but damn it I am selfish: The “Guys gone wild” advertisements need to be taken of the air…or a serious warning at least 10 seconds long be placed before it so that I have time to find the remote no matter where it is and change the channel.

Of snivelling door men, hot chics and a long ass journey

I kept a running log while traveling yesterday

So I am sitting here in Tinson Pen aerodrome being thoroughly disgusted by me fellow man. The security guard here has disgusted me to the point that I may have to mention something to him…I have noticed that when persons of the darker persuasion i.e. looking like they are clearly Jamaican enter the aerodrome he ignores their entry, however when white persons enter he jumps to attention and holds the door open, he has not yet begun to bow and scrape and tap dance but I am intently observing him as that can only be next. I swear though if he says the words “yes massa” I might just have to put a “boot inna him batty.”

What the hell is this man, I thought we had moved past this foolishness of thinking that any one of light complexion must get ridiculous deference while ignoring our country men? We have been independent from Britain for 42 years our people are free now damn it. People neglect to realize that often our people have way more money in their pockets than tourists, after all most tourists have to save all year to make it to the island paradise and are tapped out and will only tip a $1 whereas a Jamaican who is out here earning money when they are willing to give might give you a bills or 2 if you do a good job.
     
As I type this I am also typing my article for the school newspaper I have this bad feeling that I am going to shut down my laptop and have a confrontation with this fassy because an older gentleman just came in with a box and he had to struggle to get through the door while the fassy whole security guard just stared at him and shared a joke with the other lazy fassies sitting around. I know he only held the door for me because he recognized my dad (kind of funny the way he lit up around my dad you would almost think he was white) and now I am sorry that I used his help.

Haha he just jumped up to help a chic that is wearing clothing skimpier than I am used to seeing enter an airline (complete stereotype here – I am wondering if she is flying down to Mobay to take care of a client!) and a black guy took advantage of the open door to walk in and the guard has the most vex look on his face.

I love the security check that I went through here at Tinson Pen…”What flight are you on, how many bags ok we will call you when the plane is ready” Ah if all flights could be like that traveling would be so pleasant again – wait what am I saying if all flights were like this half of America and Europe would be in rubble. Come on Tinson Pen you could at least pat me down or something or make walk through an x-ray machine, something.

Damn a new chic just walked in wearing a white merino and looking damn cute with some huge chesticles I guess the guy giving me the dutty look must be her man, I guess I might have been staring – I really should go back to writing my article it’s due as soon as I land in SD, but I am now drawn to staring at this young lady’s assets.
<An aside: Damn the Wray and Nephew 2006 calendar is smoking hot, I want a copy it was so amazing I had to take a pic of it with my cellie will post them when it no longer costs me $0.99 a minute to use my cell>
This dude with the girl is huge, no way could I take him, I really should stop staring – eh it’s a compliment to his girl. Has anyone ever gotten their ass kicked by a jealous boyfriend in a prop plane? It’s a lose lose situation for me, should I by some miracle win the fight she would just be mad that I beat up her bf plus I would be sore from the fight.

Cot damn I need to start sleeping more – this is the stuff I blog when I haven’t slept and spent a night packing. How the hell in the middle of the airport are blossoms falling on me?

Flying in on that prop plane and actually getting to see us approach the runway through the same window that the pilot sees it, is making me re-examine my desire to obtain a pilots license.

So I got to the Mobay airport and the lady who beckoned me over to search was persuaded by me that because I had neatly packed my suitcase well that she should not open it. Some say that I flirt again I just say that I just have conversations. So far this trip has gone smoothly.

I just weighed what I purchased I now have more than 20lbs of alcohol and my arm is killing me, what made me think I would care to drag this around airports. (Once I found out there was no limit to how much liquer and wine you could take up I went a little silly with the purchases, on the plus side I have more to give away Cali-clause might be late this year but he is here)

Wow first time in 5 years that I have not gotten searched upon entering America, usually listing the food items causes me to be searched, I definitely expected it this time since I have so much food and drink even brought up bottles of Ting. Plus a stewardess that I was having ‘conversations’ with in Mobay told me that the Charlotte customs peeps are harsh, If I had known I would slide I might have brought more up…wait what am I thinking I cant lift anymore, I have a full back-pack, carrying 2 full suits and 3 full size bottles of alcohol and another 14 reduced size bottles as well as other things I do not care to mention on the net.
I
Just realized that I have a lighter in my carry on – guess the plane is going up in flames and I will be arrested on landing!

If u have been with me since the start of the blog I wanted a Wray and Nephew calendar, well the Lord loves me, I picked up 3 in the airport talk about a last minute stroke of luck, Assassin you will get one have no fear.

I love turbulence it just feels like it makes the plane come alive – yet I can’t ride roller coasters I should seek professional help.

Wow they are playing the Debbie Gibson “Shake your love” on the plane, I guess this is a strategy that if any terrorists are on the plane they will shoot themselves rather than sit through this songs video. Oh man I am about to make an ass of myself they just put on the NKOTB video for “hanging tough” I cant resist I have to mimic the dance…”everybody always talking about whose on top” Cracks me up that Donnie was the sexy bad boy type in the vid chics are swooning over him.

And the trip just all went to HELL…We cannot fly into San Diego because the airport is closed due to fog. We now have to fly to LAX and we are uncertain how we are getting to SD.

The pilot has just said that there will be busses to SD from LA. So now after traveling for 15 hours I am going to get on a bus…some of the passengers are assholes, they are bitching at the airline like US Airways had anything to do with the fog: It is the right decision to not land, if we try to land in zero visibility and crash then everyone is going to be a lot sorer.

I love the fact that the first words from the pilot were “Uh Ladies and Gentlemen we cannot fly into San Diego, the airport is closed to us…” then a pause during that pause everyone gasped and then started to worry that the airport had been bombed or something.

I commend US Airways on making what could have been a hellish process easy…thanks JT and Da Roomie (Dub C) for picking me up and taking me straight to a bar, I loved it.

Thanks to anyone that was able to sit through this post

Bond, James...eh you know how it goes

U know I used to wonder how Bond could get all those cool gadgets etc, then it hit me when you are pretty much the main thing going for your secret service and u do the work of a hundred men they are pretty much saving money no matter how much they spend on your gadgets. Plus no price is too big to save the world from the evil Ruskies, China men, Terroristic Arabs, Iraqis, crazy Haitians or whatever group it was favorable that decade to blast.

I rant about this all the time so I have to add a new one: I hate these you could have this if and if and if and if you have this or this or this or this symptom…the latest one to get my goat is the diabetes ad that says your love life might be affected if you have diabetes and other similar illnesses. I swear I am now afraid that even the slightest sneeze will make me impotent.

Oh and I think I have RLS ‘Restless Leg Syndrome’ more on that…

Cali-J coming back

The Cali-J is returning to his adopted home, but will they let me take in the ackee and the patty and will they think that I am bringing in hot sauce in commercial quantities?

So it’s a late night and they just ran one of those “For a good time call this number ads” and in the ad the voice over girl said for chat text this message “Fun; that’s f-u-n, fun” and the first thing that popped into my head was ‘if you have to spell the word fun out for someone they probably shouldn’t be using a phone to call a pay site’ (and yes I know they could just be spelling fun in case peeps don’t catch what they are saying but…hmm)

…and THE 2006 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS ARE THE TEXAS LONGHORNS

I am saddened by the fact that the Pac 10 peeps I have spoken to have started to whine that there were calls that should have gone USC’s way etc…fact is I had 2 blogs planned one that said we got beat as the title and would have just taken my medicine because that is how the game goes. Now that we are champs I am too lazy to gloat I am just so damn happy to see it happen in my life-time and would like everyone in the world to remember that all year long I have been introducing myself as “From UT the 2006 National champions” I am now opening a psychic hotline…need tips on how to find Osama just ask me.

Vince will never have to buy another drink in the great state of Texas!

In terms of competition this is the best National title games in years…down by 12 with less than 5 mins to go; teams going at each other with a vengeance; Lendale White ensuring himself some good NFL cash; USC getting stopped 2xs on 4th and 1; VY showing that he is the truth…TO ALL THE ASSHOLES who said Vince was over-rated look at this game and look at the last Rose Bowl and look at the OSU game how can u not think the kid is for real.

If Vince wants to leave for the NFL he can go with my blessing, he has gotten Texas something that we have not had in forever…thank you Mack and thank you VINCE…I can now face my brother.

To my parents, thanks for understanding and not throwing me out when I started screaming! I LOVE YOU!

My azn dream team...

I want to see that movie Glory Road, if they have created a decent movie it should be awesome to watch because I believe that the game that the movie leads up to happens to be one of the most significant ever played in the NCAA’s it is hard to now imagine that starting a team of all black players was groundbreaking and shocking. Nowadays it is the teams of all white players that get stared at.

After all most peeps have secretly thought that certain teams had no chance to win because there were too many white players! Yes it is a somewhat non-PC statement but I know that when it comes to laying bets down and even just casual conversation an all white team is a scary team to put trust in.

I am placing my bet now that at some point there will be an all Asian starting lineup in the NCAA tournament, not the finals I am not going that far yet…UCI, Riverside or Berkley are probably our best bets.

So the plan for today is to hit Ocho Rios and try to not look like a tourist, which will be hard since the crew in di car is all foreign pickney. Sadly it is another event that I will be a part of and all of us Jamaicans will be students who study/work abroad.

DAMN I hate my insomnia, $6 mill, J and the Steppa fox and I were chilling last night after Martini Mondays, they were laying down tracks I was idling, most of them were dragging due to lack of sleep, I finally walked home expecting to pass out after all it was 5am. Nope! Got home tossed, turned, watched the sun come up finally fell asleep at about 7.30am woke up feeling refreshed so I swore that I must have overslept and it was like 2pm or something, so I jumped from bed ran to the living room, no one is home so the illusion continues that it is late, I start running around like a wild man (my parents need a bloody clock in the living room/dining area). I bolt through the front door to see if my car is available since I figured I would have to drive to Ochi to catch $6 mill cause he must have left by this point, but the cars are gone, bear in mind that I am now in my front yard in the ‘Brook running around in boxers and somewhat disconsolate so I head back to my room figuring what the hell I will change and walk down the hill to get some Patties, booted up the lappy to upload some pics to clear space on the camera and almost dropped the laptop in shock, the clock read 7.58am. So factoring in the running around trying to figure out what the hell was up, I had slept a grand total of about 20 minutes and now I cant go back to damn sleep…

Happy New year and bust a clappa

It is hard to believe that private fire works are illegal in Jamaica. The youths in Norbrook are making the night sky look like the skies of Baghdad during the first Gulf War. Some of my readers will be too young to remember it but many families were glued to CNN for hours on end watching blue and green flashes come across the screen as we were told by Bernard Shaw and Wolf Blitzer that X or Y city had been hit. Nowadays the level of excitement is gone because it’s hard to wow peeps with something that their video games already provide for them. Now unless the camera rides in on the nose cone of the bomb it just does not seem that exciting. But I digress….back to the skies of the ‘Brook. It says a lot about our country that 3 peeps asked me if gun shots were being fired when the fireworks started popping off.

I love the pick and chose enforcement employed by the JCF, at any moment I could walk down to Manor Park and purchase M-80s and bottle rockets but let a cop pull me over and find a couple in the car and is trouble?
East fest aka di rasta man fete was wicked will blog about that later, till then I hope y’all are having a great start to the new year and I can’t wait to hear resolutions and then watch them fizzle.

What’s the difference between a lie and a joke? I think it’s the reception that it gets. I like to joke and tease my friends a lot, when they like the result it’s a joke when they are pissed that I got them or that they were too slow to figure something out all of a sudden I am a liar.

Ps to all my fellow bloggers I have not been commenting on your sites because I have barely had much internet access, but once I am back in Cali, the J will be spitting that fire like one of the 5 greatest rappers of all time and Dylan…

Streets is getting hot and the youths them a get so cold...

Too lazy to blog so just cutting from an email I am sending to my bro

Sometimes I think someone in Jamaica is planning a war that I don’t know about. Because the amount of guns that are floating around and the amount of killing that is going on I have to feel peeps are practicing. They have decided to turn video games into reality in this country. If you own a PS2 and live in Jamaica it appears to me to be a waste of money to buy a 1st person shooting game when you could just grab a 45 put on some bling have a couple visible Benjamins hanging out a pocket and head down town and stand in the middle of Princess street and decide that you going to walk from there back to New Kingston, I guarantee you all the live action real time shooting you want. Don’t forget to liberally sprinkle in some “Go suck yuh mudda bwoy” and some “Eh batty boy/fassy holes” for effect. Also at certain points in the trip make sure and this is key; switch political allegiance be a Laborite on some streets and a Comrade on others that is guaranteed to bring in the one’s who don’t want to rob you but are willing to use a gun to show you the joys of voting…vote or die indeed!

Of lyme, toe sucking and Texas fight

It is so good to be back, I had forgotten the value of a good lyme. It was great to do the blogger link up and talk to peeps that were only online entities. I had missed just going to an open air bar and not having to worry if I going to be frozen solid in 10 minutes time.

     When I was a kid mom used to warn me not to leave chips etc out because they would get soggy, but I guess living here I never really noticed how dramatic the change wrought by the humidity was, plus we have lived so long in the ‘cultured’ air of Norbrook that things just naturally keep better. But, kicking it last night for a bit in the plains I was amazed at how rapidly Pringles and Cheetos changed from crunchy to just soft enough to be gummed.

     So the 6 million dollar man and I were at a birthday party for a bit last night and the disses were flying around in rare form, plus the action was that of an orgy w/o the actual group sex. It is strangely disturbing to watch a friend put on the full Daddy Mack mode in front of you: The “want me to suck your toes” line crossed the line brethren. Hey, I do not judge how u get yo freak on is yo bizniss but the rest of us do not need to hear about it, especially not at a birthday party.

     Speaking of toe sucking; I need a freak. Apparently everyone else has one, judging from the various convos I heard last night at diff places…seems like they are a dime a dozen, even my ex has one: May she R.I.P.

     I am so nervous about next week’s game it hurts. What makes it worse is that my bro is talking smack to me which is his right: After your team wins 2 titles in a row, you have earned a certain right to belittle your little bro’s team. How much is a speeding ticket in Jamaica now? Cause I have to go out of town during the day and I have already warned the parental unit that we are setting land speed records on the way back in. 6 Mill you waan come fi di flex? My mom looks on the rivalry between my bro and I re our teams as “CUTE” CUTE? While I grant you it’s not a blood feud like I would have had, should he have gone to say Tx, A &M and less than the “I wish he would die” that it would be if he had gone to OU it is still more than just cute. Last year I didn’t speak to him for almost a month after they won, I can’t imagine how bad it will be this year. Though it TEXAS wins I will understand if y’all want to strangle me by day 2.

Hmm...

At what point do you admit that your life has gone downhill? Is it after plans go out the window or when dreams are dashed? Is it just when you don’t get what you want or when what you want to get is impossible to obtain?

They’ll miss me when I am dead!

     
As my dad re-iterated yesterday, we do not fear death (conviction that we will abide with the Lord upon passing from this plain). It does not mean that I am ready to die now, but I do not fear death. I guess I do however fear the consequences of death. Such as the grief it causes those around, the mess that it can leave behind e.g. the estates, the squabbles, and the possible pain that might come if it were an unpleasant death; like say you were with your wife and your kids are home but y’all decided to take a chance and sneak into the shower for an escapade, then she slips on a bar of soap while your intimately engaged and by doing so she slips to the left pulling you forward and driving your head into the shower head with such force that you bleed out, but because she slipped she is now stuck with a broken leg and a dead husband on top of her and no choice but to call to the kids for help…
     
Anyway to the title of the post: I sometimes have a rather morbid tilt in my way of thinking. This is probably the last extended vacation I can spend in my home country, and I have been well received (the last thing it has been is relaxing but such are the trials of coming down during a major Christian vacation time – the next couple weeks will chill it out I hope) for the most part. Thing is sometimes I look around and realize that some of the peeps I have come to see, do not care to see me as much as I cared to see them or thought I cared because upon touching down and receiving the cold shoulder…I realized that the romanticized version of our friendship I had was just that…a version. My core friends are just that the CORE we are tight, we stick together and we remain true. But many of the outlying friendships, I realize are not what I remembered. One of my friends I had not seen for 6 years, and judging from the emails we had exchanged one would have assumed that our next meeting would be the “Hey how are you doing give me a hug type” while in reality our meeting was the stilted “hey…” “uhmm nice to see you again”
     
I think my priorities in friendship are wrong…or maybe I have become too Jaded again: I tend to break my back reaching out to peeps and when a simple response is not returned it tends to make one harden just another piece of their heart. For instance, my idea is always that if someone comes to visit, you do as much as possible with that person for the short time they are here to the exclusion of the normal riff raff that you get to hang out with everyday because the visitor is the one whose time is precious. For instance when the Princess of the ATX visited (Merry Belated Xmas Z) I took time from the Slave mill and we kicked it and I turned down dinner invites, and it was awesome because I got to kick it with a friend. But, I have noticed that in the cases of Shotta and myself we are getting better responses from peeps we barely know and our core friends, but the out lying groups almost seem like they are trying to keep our drinks chill via their shoulders.
     If it sounds selfish – it is.
Then again it’s prolly all our faults for reaching outside the comforting cocoon that is the ‘Brook.

My brief synopsis of ‘Smirnoff Experience’ since Shotta told me he already blogged about it: Who knew the human body could hold that much alcohol…we need ‘all you can drink’ in SD.

What is the Life?

I love the life I live right now; I am on the verandah right now staring across the Kingston harbor and the weather is currently 78 we are kicking it in shorts sandals and jerseys. Visibility is about 20 miles the city lights are on and there are no shots in the air. This is the LIFE.  

The Jamaican

This is the longest I have gone without writing a blog in a very long time (nothing like a wireless network – thanks Shotta). So I have returned to the land of my birth the country that someday one of my colleagues will one day rule (I have no doubt of that…I went to a high school that culls from the crème de la crème and went to UWI albeit for a minute when movers and shakers) and I love being back. I have truly come to dislike Christmas, not what it means but the trappings that invariably come with it. Despite my protests I was forced

(FORCED I tell you: I know I have a strong personality and it can wear on my friends and annoy my enemies but damn I am as a lamb to the slaughter when up against my mom…a basic part of the exchange Cali-J; Mom I tell you I am not putting up lights this year
Mom; Just put the lights up now so you won’t have to put them up tomorrow
Cali-J; C’mon mom I don’t want to put lights up this year
Mom; Boy hurry up and put the lights up, on this tree and some on that tree oh and definitely that tree over there
Cali-J; Yes mom (grumble, grumble grumble)

…to put lights on trees outside. Despite telling the parental unit that I refused to put lights up over 1700 lights later I realized that appearances must be kept up. One of my friends once told me that they knew my house because it was the house in Norbrook with all the Christmas lights. In years past (thanks Shotta) we have put up upwards of 5000 xmas lights on various trees around the house. Our damn yard would be so lit up that u didn’t need an address to find my house, thankfully this year I was able to beg off having to do more than a few trees with the excuse that the other trees have grown too large and will not effectively display the lights (oh and that JPS has gone crazy with the electricity bills that peeps are getting).

Anyway I wish all a Merry Christmas (despite my rant) and a prosperous New Year especially the Texas Longhorns. Nutty P lookout our bet is still on and so far I am holding up my part of the bargain. To all the girls I loved before…die slow ok I am kidding Merry Xmas to you too

You really did ruin my life…

My High school reunion is in 8 days; should be fun to see who shows, how they show and who still hates whom.

What the hell is my cable company thinking providing me ESPN deportes instead of regular ESPN; granted my knowledge of Euro Futbol has increased exponentially (did you know PSV rules Dutch football?) but I have not seen an NBA highlight in 6 days.

Wow my Chargers beat the Colts! AMAZING good ole’ SD ruining the perfect season for everyone!

To the Jamaican bloggers and any others nearby lets link – Shotta and I would love to meet y’all

A Picture Share!

Clearly the movie did not affect me as much as i thought. In airport starving. In the island tomorrow. Open invite to anyone who wants to stay in jamaica

Just walk away...now that you can!

You know, I am all for getting back on the horse when you fall of it…but when you skydive and the chute doesn’t deploy well and the backup provides little to no protection AND you fall face first, I think it is a sign from GOD…SKY DIVING IS NOT FOR YOU! Check out the fact that they found out after that she is pregnant, just an amazing story all around.

Stop super sizing

Damn, of the 15 fattest cities in the nation, Texas has 5 including the #1 city Houston. I know I am a year late in watching ‘Super Size Me’ but damn this movie is rather informative…though at the same time much of this is nothing new, yet it is good to see the reminder and I know many others have no clue what is going on in it. It is a good film to watch if you have not seen it. As I am typing this the director’s girl is talking about their sex life…lose weight, work out it is good for you.

You know it's a good night when there are more peeps sleeping on the couch and floor than in beds.

Scents

Damn the chic in the cubicle behind me smells nice, a combination of fruit scents. Mmm good!

Pampered 1Ls

Why the Rass are 1Ls getting out before 2 and 3Ls. That just seems like asking for trouble! We all know that the 1Ls are going to be drinking their asses off in the parking lot and there will always be those one or 2 dozen kids that forget to lower their voices when the exams are over. Why is it not like my first year where 1Ls were forced to go till the last day of finals?
     Have 3Ls not paid their dues to this school…evidence at 8.30am on a Friday morning and now exams till the end of the week, man that sucks for y’all!

Heisman Result

Another Bush has won a close vote!

Going back to the hood (ok not exactly)...

Straight outta Norbrook, a young brother who aint a crook! Hmm doesn’t have the same ring as Ice Cube screaming “straight outta Compton, crazy mother fu@*er named Ice Cube” So what If I lived in the hilly suburbs of Jamaica, I can’t wait to get home, I am tired of cooking every  meal for myself and spending tons on sushi, plus I need to detox. Who knows maybe as I stop over in the nation’s capital I will get a chance to see snow for the first time in my life.

Heisman presentation in 40 mins come on Vince Young!

That Dominos pizza ad with the kids living in the dark and getting ‘lamp time’ is High-larious!

DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!

I would like to thank Duke for reminding us just why they have been the top team in college basketball for 2 decades. But, damn did you have to do it at the expense of my team…oh well as I said to MS basketball does not matter to us until Football is over. See you in the tourney!

California code section 22...blah, blah blah!

Damn it…it is 3.30am I am making no headway in my studying (no surprise there) and I can’t sleep (wow ‘nother shocker). I have a neck so stiff it hurts to look to the right…would be bloody easy (easier than normal) to kick my ass right now, just stay right and jab. Only thing making this night go well is the fact that I just linked with a friend from the old days in the ATX (I love the internet’s ability to help us connect).

I can’t wait for sushi this afternoon, spicy tuna and some cali rolls with enough Wasabi to make a brother two-step. Yes! That’s the way to start any day of studying, and hopefully during that time the Horns will be kicking the Dukies ass!

Screw all the damn international airlines for reducing the weight of checked in bags from 70lbs to 50lbs. Dicks that’s an almost 30% reduction you assholes.
Mi rassclaut shoes each feel like they weigh five pounds…to the peeps I promised product that is measured in weight, your xmas gifts may get left at the airport in Jamaica when I try to return.

Sugar we’re going down!

My condolences

Just a few blurbs to break up your studying routine!

In one week the Cali-J will be in Jamaica…can a Jamaican take his own country?

Vince Young (leads the nation in passing efficiency with a 168.6 rating ) won the Maxwell award as the nation’s top player, Reggie Bush has won the Walter Camp award setting up Saturday's Heisman showdown.

Saturday will be a match up of the top 2 teams in College Basketball, #1 Duke v #2 Texas. 1.30pm on CBS…Texas has never been #1 in college b-ball is this the week?

FINALS SUCK I know I know everyone says it, but damn it I mean it!

Did I mention one week? Current temp in Kingston, Jamaica at 5am local time the temp is 79 degrees an expected high today of 85!!!! Shotta wi a hit di beach early and often.

Currently 57 degrees in San Diego, with a high of 69 degrees not bad if you have to be stuck here!

I’m dreaming of Rum and Coconut water…and good friends…if peeps have requests for things from the island (and I actually know you) let me know I will gladly try to bring things back up for you.

Re the above: marijuana is NOT legal in Jamaica and I will not be bringing any back for everyone…I mean things like coffee (best in the world) etc.

The Stanley Williams thing shouldn’t be a debate.

Can there be a freakier way to die than a plane sliding off a runway to hit your car? That’s just rough. Good thing I love flying.

Man, Christmas is rough on the budget plus I never have a clue what to get folks.

Easy on the Christmas carols damn it, it’s still weeks away.

And it’s Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays no need for the uproar y’all both can be used.

Happy Birthday...

Rambling post...finals have me aggitated damn it!

Well talk about an action packed day…finally figured out when the Cali-J would be returning home. I leave Cal on Thursday and get into Jamaica on Friday and from that point on the Hedonism kicks off. Why am I so determined to enjoy it all to the fullest? Well in a 4 hour span, I have pissed of one friend to the point where she won’t talk to me, another called to inquire if I/we were still friends, an ex doesn’t trust or believe my motives and finally I lost a friend completely. Not my choice, I do not believe in betraying friends or in ditching them, as mean and sarcastic as I am I know that words are just words and for me to cut someone off as a friend they would have to do something egregious.

To let you in on how forgiving I am of friends, this particular ex-friend (and once again I told you it’s not my decision if it were up to me we would still be friends) and I sort of dated while I was in law school [yeh I know, I keep my stuff quiet and no one knows who I date etc and no she is not a law student] any way this particular young lady engages in sexual congress with a friend of mine and had the audacity to call me during said activity. Needless to say I was PISSED, but whatever I let that slide, and we remained friends. Then there of course came the usual back and forth because let’s be honest I am not the easiest friend to have, not meaning to get peeps mad I can with ease. Anyway back to the chica, so on her terms we stopped talking for a couple of months because she needed time away from me (perfectly understandable because I am hard to take [wanted to put swallow here but seemed like bad context])

Then once I had perfectly adjusted to the new state of my life, school, work chill, drink with the crew, I got a late night call…and had an incident similar to the type that occurred almost a year ago, I am too lazy to go find it and link it but long time readers will remember my driving to some chics home only to have her new bf who I knew nothing about accost me on the steps for ‘a talk’ so anyway my response on the phone (no I didn’t go over – and no SA I did the right thing by not going) was hey it’s cool to hear from you but you can’t expect me to just show up at your beck and call. But at least we are back to talking.

My birthday rolled around and being the dope that I am, and the spread joy type I invited her to come out to the club (great night by the way – if you weren’t there that’s your fault). After all she had always told me how important birthdays were to her and how they are something that must always be celebrated etc. Hmm, I guess I must have misunderstood that, because not only was my invitation rejected, I was ignored for the entire month and informed later that she was too busy hooking up with some dude, because being around me was not good for her so it was best that I get punked in order for her to move on.

Cot damn even then we remained friends though by this point, one would have to say it’s a loose term then of course there was tonight (I have bypassed stuff like her telling her friends I am a dick [true] and her friends consoling her with the [“He ain’t any good crap”] funny I didn’t know we were dating anymore! And her having a friend call me late one night to deliver a message, that she should have delivered herself) while I should be studying I had to get the “We should not be friends” crappy line and then the projected and I will cut it from my text message so I do not post the wrong thing “…you think I am lacking in character. Why would you even want to associate with that” That was in response to my saying what was done re my birthday was messed up, and now I have to think maybe she is right, why should I want to associate with that? Maybe cause I am a sucker for friends.

YES SADLY IF SHE WANTS I WILL STILL TAKE HER BACK AS A FRIEND. Because in my mind, it’s the ability to forgive that often makes peeps the best of friends…this quality doesn’t work for other relationships so don’t try this with me if u r my gf or wife.

Great music video!

Damn the Korn video for Twisted Transistor is damn funny: using Snoop, Lil John, David Banner and Xzibit as the band members in a video shoot is genius.

The Defending Rose Bowl Champs ARE BACK!


So of course I had to use a picture of burnt orange roses after all half the peeps in the stands at Reliant stadium were waving burnt orange roses. Now I aint saying USC is not #1, but the Longhorns are coming, coming. If you are betting on the game, make sure to bet the over because this year’s Rose Bowl might set records. MGM currently has USC as 6 ½ favorites over UT, that sounds about right, they are the defending champs and #1 in the nation. Vegas has been pretty damn good with the lines this year: They are in it to make money after all.

So let’s see the games ended 70-3 UT over CO and 66-19 USC over UCLA…so we know they can both score and their D’s stepped up when necessary. I do love pointing out though that the difference in our game is more than USC scored in theirs, but yeah they did play a ranked squad and we didn’t. January 4th will be a great day, wherever you are find a TV set…even you Sand Assassin.

Well it’s that time of the year...

  • I begin to wonder just when I will fly to the island of my birth

  • Career services gets worked in motions (A new addition this year but will prolly happen again)

  • Notes start getting traded at a feverish pitch

  • And my body fails me: Last night I slept for 8 STRAIGHT hours…for those who don’t know me that might not seem that impressive, but those who know will be shocked. This is the first time in over a year that I have been able to sleep for 8 hours straight…even on sleeping pills I usually wake up at 2-3 hour intervals, which I am sure would be hell on a sleeping partner if I had one…(allow me a moment to lament the sorry state of my life, 1,2,3…damn) I should be with you, why girl why? Oh wait I digress, plus none of you will know who that is for etc or if it’s for you, hell I don’t even know who it is for…I need to steady the ship that is my life. So I fell asleep and slept almost comatose for 8 hours I didn’t even dream which for me is unusual cause damn I have freaky dreams every night (not freaky like – I am having sex with one girl and then her sister jumps in to join us and jiggle body parts and right at the moment of the roller coaster cresting the hill her mom jumps in with the video camera crew to surprise the daughter that she made it on ‘pimp my ride’ and I roll over and make the mistake of saying to the sisters “Damn your mom is fine” but it all works out because it’s a dream so the mom joins us and MTV keeps filming because my stroke is so good that I look like a porn star in the video and it makes me famous because at the crucial moment just before climax I grab hold of the mom and 2 daughters (it’s a dream you can hold multiple peeps with 2 hands) and scream “Come on, feel it, feel it” and ‘Good Vibrations’ plays out as we all lay back in the cut with satisfied looks on our faces – not freaky like that) about cars and stuff. I slept well because my new pharmaceutical of choice promotes wakefulness in the day time so I was active for so long almost 40 hours that my body finally said “It’s time to sleep”

  • The library begins to become packed

  • The smells in the LRC begin to intensify, seriously peeps just cause you are studying is no excuse to abandon personal hygiene

  • I stop working out and let the beer belly completely win for a couple weeks

  • X…becomes scary to approach in person

  • The muscles on my back begin to tighten because of exam stress (oh and believe me there are muscles there, it just looks like there are none)

  • WHY THE HELL IS CONGRESS TRYING TO GET INVOLVED WITH THE BCS?

  • GO HORNS GO! I am sorry for Colorado tomorrow…

About Me

My photo
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.
