amish people or magic wizards you be the judge..

watching late night tv is often the inspiration for these posts on bad advertising and stupid products like this


i wonder if any idiot will actually buy one of those.. how it works is you plug it in use the controller and wow instantly warmer because little lights light up the faux fire . it's not even a heater... the basic principle of this product is one: amish people are magic. two: magic fake fire place will warm our entire home if we believe in it! three: you must be a moron to purchase this.

the best part about this is i can flame(no pun intended) on the amish all i want cause none of them own a computer.

thats all i ever see these days if you ask me since 'ye' put out 808 fartbreak i've been really disappointed in him.

kid cudi calls it quits

Kid Cudi

XXL
peep it here


Yes you heard it the upcoming Kid Cudi ( The Cleveland based rapper) blogged on www.kidcudi.com that he will call it quits after his first album drops, I personally found out the news on MuchMusic News but i recently looked into it on XXL. Kid Cudi who is apart of Kanyeeeezy's G.O.O.D music family and appeared on kanyes 808's & heartbreak album quoted “I am falling back on being an artist. The drama that comes with it is more overwhelming than the shit I was dealing with when I was piss poor broke.” he continued saying “My friends get mad at me, say I’ve changed,” “One of the only homies I got in this game, Wale, is worried about me ’cause of shit he hears. Like, WTF? Who can say I’m being Hollywood? I’m not around anyone but Plain Pat and Emile. Who can say that shit? Motherfuckas talkin’ shit here and there, spreadin’ rumors, makin’ jokes, tryin’ to judge me, and for what?”....the reason why hes putting down the mic is to focus on his acting career. He is already on the set of How to Make It in America featured on HBO which is to set off in august, Unfortunately for Cudi's solo debut (Man on the Moon: the Guardians ) theres no specific date when it will hit stores, so keep your eyes open!

lately i've been in mad presence with this culture we call hiphop, I'm just reviving from the last bboy battle Ground zero big ups to my boys "Simple As That" who made it to semi's but unfortunately lost against now or never, but now i present you... a dope 16 minute documentary about one of the notable legends BIG DADDY KANE! a quintessential figure of the Golden Era of hip hop. In this documentary BDK explains his years growing up in New York, his life in the rap game and his influence on fashion and his lyrical superiority. Don't Sleep, a must see!

i'm not making fun of fixed gear riding or anything i just think the videos that haters develop on these sites are pretty entertaining

Earl The Pearl

good eats veggie spring rolls..

OMG these are amazing...

now i'm not gonna say this is the best nam place in vancouver cause i'm sure everyone's got their own "spot" but this is officially my new love. the first second the crispy crunchy veggie filled spring roll touched my tongue... that was it. and for 6.50 it's not hard on the wallet. i hit this place up yesterday with our bromie jolin who recommended it in the first place. after my meal i told the waitress "it was delicious and i'd be back again for sure!" so when she saw me again today she smiled hahahaha. it was dope she remembered my order and gave us an orange( that means we're special)

so go visit this gem asap. just off-a west 4th on burrard 

in other news weather is AMAZING if you aren't riding your bike or walking to work wtf is wrong with your legs. drink it in folks before old man winter shows his fugly face again.

KEYS N KRATES - CEO REMIX= me big fan

i guess i should post this before everyone else does again. so far i've only seen this on liveblog so i think i'm safe.
listen to this remix i love the beat they put on it


if you want the mp3 here ya go
KEYS N KRATES - CEO LIVE REMIX


that aside i got a little bone to pick.



recently i've sort of picked up on the fact that we have a few haters. i understand that their will always be haters a great man once said "There'll always be haters, that's the way it is. Hater niggas marry hater bitches and have hater kids..." but honestly i don't understand why you're hating on us? making fun of the site.. i mean if you think we're fake people and one day we just decided to jump on the "blog bandwagon" then you're wrong! both myself and earl still have our own respective sites. where i talk about my life my dreams my ups my downs. you know, emo crap. i'm going out on a limb here to say for myself i just wanted to write here to have a separation of thoughts. one blog to rant and one blog to "redefine dope." now if you still have a problem with this site then i REALLY don't understand you. cause hating on us for just having a site is like me hating on anyone for having ambition in life. like me telling you you can't become a dancer, you can't become a lawyer etc .. a man can dream.. and my dream is to have a cool website, see how big it gets, and hopefully get a crap load of free stuff out of it. now if you STILL have a problem with that then you need to take a good look in the mirror and come to terms with the fact that your moms a hater, your dads a hater, and you are their hater offspring. cause i sure as hell don't know what else to call you.

we are two humble guys just trying to make something interesting to read. we have nothing but love for everyone so :


EDIT*

Earl the Pearl here, HATE... dislike intensely or passionately thats obviously not what you guys are into right ? Its more of "feeling resentment because of another's success" which is another word for JEALOUS. ...."Quality over Quanitity" word is bond



Speaking of Haters

FIREWORKS BACK ON...and i told ya so.

if your head was up your ass for the last month and a half i'll clue you in fireworks were called off because they were short 400 000 dollars. an anonymous sponsor stepped up and donated the remaining 400 000 to get the event rolling. it comes as no surprise to me that fireworks are back on. frankly i knew this would happen it happens every year and you know what?! I'M ON TO YOU! but i'll stop before i sound like some crazy conspiracist.

but to you mr or mrs anonymous (not the weird one that keeps commenting on here) the one thats sponsoring the hsbc celebration of light this post is for you!


PS. i don't know if anyone has figured it out yet but i also write for:

eatin like a rabbit 7 days strong!!!

today marks my 7th day as a vegetarian. and whats my verdict?

so far so good.

i can honestly say i haven't craved meat since day one when my mom made me a BLT with a bunch of bacon for dinner... i got home after eating grapes and a veggie burger and looked at the sandwich and was like "fml....."
but since then i've been taking everything in stride. do i feel any different? as of yet, no. the only things that happened was my skin got real dry for a couple days. my friend edmar warned me of not getting enough protein especially if i'm doing high energy activities. i don't know if it was the placebo effect or for real but that same day i felt sorta weak. but i've found the solution.
so if anyone wants to follow in my steps these are my sanity savers:
1)YOGURT!
YO! gurt... i guess this isn't really an alternative to anything. but when you start missing things like nuggets it's nice to have a delicious veggie comfort food like yogurt.

2)edamame
you know what this is... if you don't like edamame i don't know whats wrong with you.. i remember my family used to joke about how teamsters used to request ed DAMN mommy for my cousins catering business hahahaha. oh caucasians i love when you try to say asian words. it's like you are the fobs and we are the white people . hahahaha

3)rice works oh em gee
i know it's perfectly fine for a vegetarian to eat regular chips but damn i love these things!!! that and they have a lot of protein too. i was comparing them to a bag of jerky and it turns out they have equal grams of protein?!?! wtf..

4) cliff bars..
these are... amazing! i don't know why i wasn't eating them sooner. i bought a bunch to see which flavor tastes the best. and i just had my second one out of 5 flavors, i decided it doesn't get any better then this. black cherry and almond thats it game over.. cliff bar me love you long time.


there are a few others that deserve an honorable mention but i threw out the wrappers.
wasabi peas="a happy present from the earth", yam tempura roll( this didn't come with a wrapper i just ate it without thinking about this post) and juice :)

all in all i'm diggin this healthy lifestyle choice. i don't feel anything like an elitist since i've always been that "healthy guy." my only bad eating habits are my lust for nuggets and candy otherwise i'd pretty much be eating oatmeal or cereal anyways. for now it doesn't really feel like a handicap it just feels like a gateway to experiencing new flavors and learning more about good health.

ryeone stay classy vancouver.

JAZZY JEFF & FRESH PRINCE FOREVER!

HA!

never have an american speak tagalog (philippines main language, for the ones that don't know).. and make adobo or you'll just crack up hysterically... for the filipinos atleast , adobo is just another filipino main dish. Heres a little video on how to make it.

not a hippy blog!!!

i know with all the stuff on bikes and eating no meat makes it seem like this is some sort of hippy blog... but you know what?! IT'S NOT!!! but since we're on the topic watch this video.

is it such a hard thing to do? i decided theres nothing stupid about caring a bit about your planet..

and since we're going all out on bikes and planets and such check these babies!!

gold phil wood hubs if you want a baller-ass bike then cop a pair of these.. they're not anodized they're GOLD plated!

NIKE STOLE MY IDEA!

grrrrrrr i totally had this idea a long ass time ago. my idea was to secretly place some of the most hype gear in the most common places like winners or sears or walmart and create a system to give people hints and go on a easter egg hunt basically causing a frenzy of hype..
but it looks like nike has once again stolen MY idea..

stolen from illroots

in other news i've been doing a lot of riding with my bromies earl and jolin so i thought i'd share some of my favorite chill ride videos of my favorite pack of riders the JAN crew.

i like how in the middle the guys just start macking on random girls watching. something like that would never happen here.
you'd be like "heyyy" the girls would be like " like... ew!"

day 1.5 of being vegetarian

to be honest it's not so bad so far. i don't miss meats as much as i thought.
this is what i ate:
for breakfast i ate oatmeal with brown sugar and cranberries. ( this was so good i'll be having it again tomorrow)

for lunch i had pasta salad spinach, asparagus, peppers with a delicious lemon garlic olive oiil dressing.

for dinner jolin cooked up some veg burgers

we were super curious as to how they'd rank against real burgers and restaurant veg burgers. i gotta say they're not something to go crazy over

but at the same time they weren't horrible either they were just like burgers.
thanks for the grub homie

they sure do look delicious though don't they. these three meals were supplimented by 1) bag of candy 2) liquids water juice etc.. 3) a midnight snack of yogurt and oatmeal cookies. mmmmmm

all in all if being vegetarian is this good then i don't see any problem with being vegetarian. but it doesn't help when you come home and your mom has a blt waiting for you. full of bacon....

more updates later on stay tuned

Well said
