Culture Over Everything: Weekend Recap

What's happening, folks? First order of business is to wish all my warriors [US Military] as much respect as possible for going to foreign lands to protect our interests, at home and abroad. I got a whole bunch of enlisted brethren that's strapped up, holding us down and keeping America free. Like anyone else, I have my own opinions on whether the wars we have participated in are just or not, but that has nothing to do with this. We support the home team at all times, even if we don't agree with why they're on the field. So special prayers go out to those out there still in field, or in the office, thanks you for all you do. Because, like Chris Rock said, "I ain't fightin!"

I haven't been on and posting lately because things are happening, vacations are being taken, so on and so forth. Even though I can't qualify a hockey game as a vacation, it got me away from home for a reason besides work, so that's a positive. My Red Wings are doing massive work to a Chicago squad that can't quite keep up. The Tigers are looking good, railing off wins at a pretty surprising rate. And while my Pistons are on the links, Chauncey is still handling business for the Nuggets. Throw in the end of the Premier League and most pro soccer leagues, and here we are. The beginning of summer. Summer always brings changes, good or bad, and this year's change, besides me actually keeping up a workout regime, is my music player of choice. Since I'm not about to drop stupid cash to get an iPod touch, nor an iPod phone, my brother from another TJ hooked me up with a Zune on the cheap. $100 dollars for the best music player I've ever had. One that plays videos. One that shows sweet photos. One that has internet access. And my favorite, the one that DOESN'T need CRAPPY iTunes software.

I'm not going to go into the problems because it is 3am and I won't be able to finish telling you all I hate about iTunes and the problems it gave me before I pass out from exhaustion in front of my television.

What I DO have time for is this. To hit you with some ill music for you to put in your earholes. So what's in the deck? It's summertime, baby. I'm listening to the throwback joint of forever, Summertime by the Fresh Prince aka Will Smith. In fact, it IS summer. Aren't we missing a Will Smith blockbuster?

But on to the music. Remember the video I posted? The first one, the one with LB? I'll give you a hint.

"Just like you can't stop me from rhymin, you can't stop the sun from shinnin...."

It's a bonus on this mixtape I'm hittin ya'll with! Nick Fury, or now, just Nickelus F is hittin us with GO Time!, his new mixtape, and since he's got some real spit when it comes to the rhymes, here's my weekend recommendation. Follow the link to hip hop goodness.
