The Coolest, Most Genius site in the Universe!

2008-02-01T22:59:00.000-08:00

My friend put me on to this and I cannot take how freakin awesome it is.
I typed in "The Roots" because that is what i wanted to listen to, then what it does is it goes to The Roots and begins to play songs it thinks you will like based on similar beat, melody etc...I was soooo happy listening to a mix of songs that was better than what I could put together myself. I LOVE THIS SITE!

He's got eyes on the back of his head. Literally...

2008-01-07T21:04:00.000-08:00

So I was rushing to the mall afterwork to meet up with my boo. As I walk up the steps of the subway I see eyes staring at me. These are squinty, mean eyes. But these were no regular eyes. no. This dude had a full face tattooed on the back of his bald head. I'm sorry, did i mention it was a FULL MEAN FACE!!! Why? What possesed this man? To make matters worse he had a little pimple/bump on the back of his head perfectly centered inside one of the "nostrils" on his head. So basically he had a booger in/on his tattoo head. I literally said "wow" out loud.

One of my favorite songs of all time....

2007-12-02T20:13:00.000-08:00

This songs reminds me of college. Ahhh of how much I lovvvve REAL Hip Hop. 80's & 90's Hip Hop is the best. Afrika Bambaataa, Big Daddy Kance, Kool Moe Dee, Eric B and Rakim, Brand Nubian, Wutang, Cypress Hill, A Tribe Called Quest, Digable Planets, Fugees, Lords of the Underground, Blackmoon, Kool G Rap, Mobb Deep, DasEFX, The Pharcyde, The Roots, De La Soul, way too many to name. I could go on forever but I have to go to bed. Although I love old skool, I gotta say I reaaaaally love alot of 90's hip hop (of course). Enjoy the song!

I sometimes find stuff there that I'm like "No!!! no, stop, this can't be $24 dollars." I appreciate your prices. I appreciate you knowing mama wants to look good but wants to save her money.

The only food I can eat when I'm sick....

2007-11-24T19:09:00.001-08:00

Some people eat bread, crackers, rice. No, no my friends, I can only eat these. I prefer Isleños over Chifles because I think they're crunchier. :)

My alarm clock song...

2007-11-21T09:20:00.000-08:00

I always wanted an alarm clock that wakes me up to my of-the-moment life's theme song... For me, it is oh so hard to wake up in the morning. For a long time my wake up theme song of choice would've been Rick Ross (of course haha) "Everyday I'm Hustlin'" If there was a song however, that said "Wake Your A$$ Up" that would do too. Please share your wake up/of-the-moment theme song.

The News...

2007-11-14T13:46:00.000-08:00

I watch 2 News podcasts at work everyday. I don't know why I do it. Listening to the news only makes me paranoid and sad. They only report crappy things! Why people? Why? I KNOW there has to be good news somewhere. crap!

I'm nasty.

2007-11-13T19:54:00.000-08:00

I have to change my life. That's it! Tomorrow, I'm a new woman. A woman who makes healthy choices people! I was totally gross today. I don't usually eat like this, so I'm especially disgusted with myself.

I didn't eat breakfast.
Got to work late.
It was a coworker's bday and she passed out cupcakes.

I can't front, it was delicious.

So then it was about 11:30ish and I was starving. As I waited for my boss to be ready (we decided on burgers), I did the unthinkable and walked over to the machine and bought a TWIX!

If it makes it any better, I only ate one bar.

Then we went and bought a burger and fries.

and i couldn't eat that without a...

um...I only drank 1/4 of it.

THEN, as if it wasn't bad enough. It gets worse...I walked over to the machine again....and....

So then I took the train to the mall and...I NEVER DO THIS...walked into the Dunkin Donuts for a...

Have I said enough? Salad. For the rest of the month. I'm serious. NO BURGERS!!!! NO SODA (ok, lets not get crazy), VERY LITTLE soda, and no vending machine! I am buying yogurt and fruit.

help me.

I made a Merengue song...

2007-11-07T11:58:00.000-08:00

A Merengue song can be made out of pretty much anything (we’ve all heard the Potamkin Honda song). Edwin and I made a merengue song. Ok, I forced Edwin to participate in my merengue song. It started because I was looking for my purse. Cartera=purse in spanish. Please, sing along. It goes a lil something like this...

N sings: “Y mi cartera?”
E asks: “a ‘onde ‘sta?”
N sings: “Y mi cartera?”
E asks: “a ‘onde ‘sta?”

N: “Esta en el baño?”
E: “Alli no esta”
N: “Esta en la cama?”
E: “Alli no esta”
N: “Esta en la escuela?”
E: Alli no esta”

You cannot imagine the level of amusement this provided. Also, it was freakin hilarious and surprisingly Good! hahaha

Omg, wait, I’m a genius, you could also ask:

N: “Y mi bandera?”
You: A ‘onde ‘sta?”
Then you go and shout out countries and they have to stay “Aqui esta”

Disclaimer: If you make a merengue song from my genius idea, please forward proceeds to:
City Sorbet Thanks.

And this is the result!
