Driving on Cell

So I woke up early enough today to watch some morning distraction with my fiancée. Something we normally don't do....
Today a lady named Oprah Winfrey is urging people to not use their cell phone while they drive. I thought it was a good idea and decided to oblige her request.
That got me wondering how many drivers are chatting / texting it up while on the road..... so I decided to count.

What I Found

Driving	Count
to work	14
to lunch	forgot
from lunch	24
Home	12
Total	50

What I missed

Why Jesus wept.....

R.I.P Guru

Hip-Hop lost one of the Greatest MC's of all time yesterday when Guru passed.

Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal

Guru was one of my top 5 favorite MC's. The unique monotone style he always stayed true to was easily recognized on any track and by far one of the dopiest styles ever. Not to mention his lyrical content was always real life ish I could get down with. Even when he made it big he kept it real. I just wish He and Premier could have squashed the beef that grew between them. There will never be another MC DJ pairing as fresh as Gang Starr.  

As I sit here typing I can't help but think about how integrated his work is into my lexicon. Like who can say lemonade and not think about how popular it was and still is... Every time I fly I think about above the clouds. Shit my favorite ringback is "Mass Appeal". "My Self Lord and Master" has been my job title for years.. I cant count how many times i've said "I'm sorta the Boss so get Lost". There are so many bangers each track he's blessed... 

I'm so bummed that his supreme reign has come to an end.  

Words can't express how he manifest's... 

Maximum Futility....

20 innings WTF!


Last night the Saint Louis Cardinals and the New York Metropolitans combined for the worst offensive output this year. Let me remind you that both teams signed signed 100 million dollar outfielders this off season and for what? So they could trow up 18 frames of nil baseball.... I had just as many hits in that game as the aforementioned outfielders.


Granted the game started with two premier hurlers on the mound. The one wearing red had a no-no going into the 5th when the asshole play by play commentator let everyone know there was a 0 0 0 box score. Come on Alberts learn something from your side kick. You didn't hear McCarver mentioning the obvious. Everyone knows you don't mention the no-hitter. Thats what separates announcers who played the game from the ones with relatives. 


Even with great pitching that is no reason to go 18 scoreless innings. The bullpen is in the bullpen because they cant begin or finish games... The point is they make ERA mistakes.


While I'm ranting will someone please pay Fernando Tatis to tattoo "I hit 2 grand slams off Chan Ho-Park in one inning" on his freakin face! Seriously every time he comes to the plate I hear how that will never happen again unless the manager is mad at a pitcher...  I understand how awesome of a feat that is and how the probability is ridiculous... He was playing for the good guys when it happened but give me a break, every game this guy plays in its the same ole thing. I think its more impressive how he lost 75lbs of baby fat or how he forgot how to hit off speed junk [or anything inside for that matter].

Reasons Why the iPhone Sucks

So I have had my iPhone for about 6 months now and its been long enough to determine that it's a piece of shit. Don't get me wrong it's a great phone for my Dad, Trendsters, Macophilians or anyone who is a danger to themselves with technology. Once the Sexiness wore off I was left with the sobering fact that this is just a crappy phone with internet access.
And here is why [in random order]:

1. No control over data: The phone doesn't support a file system.
2. Bluetooth: The only thing I can use the Bluetooth for is cyborging [weak]
3. Lack of FM Radio: I had a FM Radio phone back in 2002. 0 free cardinals games could be the biggest complaint for me.
4. Unsupported Multitasking: So your streaming Pandora over 3g at work thinking this is the best ish ever, then a text comes in so you read it, only to find out that Pandora closes once its not the active app. EPIC FAIL
5. Idiotic Text grouping and display: 
• 1st impression Oh wow the iPhone groups my text's by conversation thats fresh....
• lasting impression Who sent text's first John or Jane?... what time did that last text come in at?... Who was copied on this text?... how the hell do i reply a specific text in a thread?.... 
6. No control over Desktop: I want to put apps icons where I want to put apps icons. 
7. Lack of Mass storage mode: My phone has X amount of free storage why cant I fill it with data from my computer?...
8. No MP3 ringtone support: I just uploaded some Fly tracks into the iPod portion of the phone I cant wait to rock the funky beats when my homies call.... STILL WAITING!!!! 
9. Barriers to entry: Apple has taken the Christianity approach to moving data. Just as the only way to the Father is through the Son.. The only way to the pod/phone is through the tunes... iTunes is the worst resource hog since AOL... Seriously crashintosh is this the best you got?...
10. No Audio Profiles: I transition from work to home to outside to bed... in order for my phone to transition i have to locate where my settings icon is and adjust the volume and ring style to fit me needs..  hate to be stuck on my Sony Ericson but they have been doing that for the past 5yrs at least.
11. Why cant I Tether 3G to my lapper?:  I paid my bill let me do with it what i want!
12. What happend to the Whole Web??: Remember the commercial where Apple showed off a web page being rendered into what appeared to be a standard browser and the voice slams crackberries by saying you get the entire web not just text? one word FLASH. Not that I'm a fan i'm just saying...
13. Printer support: I have wasted 30mins trying to set up or somehow find a work around to print a pdf on a networked printer. [and maintain my warranty]
14. Dropped calls: I almost forgot the most important reason to carry a phone... communication. I have dropped more phone calls on this rotten apple than i did on the Motorola V60 

I am sure this list will do nothing but grow as i continue to find fault in this shitty ass phone. Do yourself a favor and wait on the Nexus One to come down on price and cop one of those bad boys. My coworker got one and I am soo jelly. 

The Rizbone strikes again!
