Cops on Location Last night, after the whole Texas fiasco, I went and got Sancho. We chilled with Al, Sancho's neighbor, for a bit then went to meet up with Boggie and John and crew at Robert's. We were sitting in front of the store when all of a sudden we hear 2 sirens flying down W. Esplanade. In front of them was a little dark blue Escort type car with a blown tire running from the cops. He turned and went down transcontinental. We all sprinted to the corner of the building to watch the chase continue. We saw the chase come to a halt just past Veterans. We immediately hopped into BOOgie's car and drove down the street to see the finale of the chase. There was 12 cops surrounding the car which was pulled up partially on the neutral ground. We saw the runner and he seemed to be quite drunk. We were in so much awe, we passed it 2 more times. Man that was incredible. We went back to the store and commenced in drinking at the Bay, which was filled with gorgeous girls. I have no idea why so many fly women were there.. but wow, was it ever difficult to participate in a conversation when every five seconds my head was turning to enjoy the incredible sights :)... On the Road AGAIN As many of you know, I have a strong disliking of Texas, mainly because of the high horse that just about every Texan rides on.. "I'm better than you.." Yeah go to hell stupid hick. Any who.. I went to Texas yesterday for a BBQ sale by Bass Computers. They had lots of food, lots of computer stuff for cheap, a few vendors, and a few seminars, all of which equalled one thing: definite or potential free Shi-at... :) We went in A good buddy of Conrad, Justin's, Suburban. We immediately started the trip on a bad foot, but it would soon get better. Conrad had torn ligaments in his shoulder playing football Thursaday afternoon. Then We plugged in Mr. Mike's cell phone to the cigarette lighter and it blew a fuse, so no music till we replace the fuse. We stopped at Waffle House in Lafayette (here's where it get's better) and I played all kinds of waffle house hits, which I am hyped about purchasing on CD. We ate our food and finally were able to get a fuse in the frog capital of the world, Rain, Louisiana. We get to the show finally and immediately begin getting the free stuff from vendors, We got T-Shirts, redhots in an Altoids like can for Western Digital, a plastic "treasure chest" with chocolate coins, cool Logitech keychains, several miscellaneous pens, and of course product literature. We then ate like wild pigs and I bought a nice sub woofer for $5. We then went to the AMD seminar, where a 900 MHz chip was tol be given out. Mr. Mike won that. Mr. Mike's winnings thus far : approximately $700. Then after a while, he won a Hercules 32 meg video card. Total winnings: $1000. Then, he was given a UPS for purchasing over $500 worth of stuff. overall value=$1125. Before we left for the day, I went to the Microsoft seminar and I put a Mr. Mike in the drawing, as well as me. Who should win? Mr Mike... Free copy of Windows 2000 Server w/ 5 licenses. Over all winnings for Mr. Mike= approximately $1800.. Damn he is lucky. During the show, I also purchased a 17" refurb monitor for $139, an athlon motherboard for $85, and an athlon 700 chip (w/ cooling fan & heat sink for $200, 300W power supply for $30, and an IDE ZIP drive for $39. My new computer will soon get a facelift to make it . Go me... On the ride home, Mr Mike and I enjoyed a Blackened Voodoo (Dixie product), just to despite Texas ruling that the beer shall be banned because of the name. Then, we stopped at a McDonald's outside of Lafayette. Overall, I think that everyone enjoyed themselves in the end. Ride of the Valkyries A few nights ago, I went for a ride with Bare and Conrad. We originally went to the Westbank so that Bare could look at a Jeep that is for sale. I personally would have looked into it a little more, but that is my personal opinion. After this, we drobve all around town, from the Quarter, to Metairie. We even stopped for beignets at Cafe Du Monde. We also walked around Jackson Square so that Conrad could see some of the homeless people. After our Quarter adventures, we drove past the "Real World" house here in New Orleans. If you are now scratching your head, MTV has a chessy show where they take seven politically correct people (a black, a nazi, a homosexual, a lesbian, a heterosexual white female, and a homophobic guy, and a drunken spaniard) put them into a lap of luxury house, get them an easy ass job, then record their fighting and everyday problems. An6yways, back to my story...They are recording here right now and staying on St Charles, so we drove past like 5 times, trying to increase our chances of being on national TV for a millisecond. we would have mooned em or started screaming "f--k MTV" or some shit like that but figured it is an old played out thing to be done, so we just became a nuisance. :) We finally decided it would be a good time to get home, so we headed to the house and I headed home to crash till noon the next day. The next day I went and chilled with my Mom at the hospital. She slept a few hours during the day, but she looked OK. Slowly but surely getting better,

Night of Relaxation Last night, I went and chilled on the lakefront with Sancho and BOOgie. The wind was kicking excellently, so we enjoyed it and partook in an alcoholic beverage. Felt great to feel that wind after a long hectic weekend. WAR AGAINST METALICCA In response to Shakespearsworld.com's angst against the ex-good band, I fully agree with Shakes. The sell-out band can kiss my A$$, for they are a bunch of money-grabbing, fan screwing shitbirds. After I spent $40 bucks on many of their albums, another $30 for a concert of theirs and another $30 for a shirt at that concert, I feel that I have given them about $100 too much. Hope their next 5 albums sell crappy and they are forced to live out of trash cans. Last I checked, The whole napster thing is just like when everyone and their mother used to copy tapes (and even in more recent times CDs) which no musicians started hell about. Dual tape decks were and still are WIDELY available. So, I have "For whom the Bell Tolls" on MP3, but I don't own the CD.... BIG DEAL!! I'll bet that 3/4s of MP3ers with Metallicca songs ripped them from their own CD. They thus can legally have the MP3s (as a form up backup). Even if they don't have the CD, who cares?!?! You got your $50 ba-zillion, isn't that enough?!?!? Let's play a fill in the blank. ____ Metalicca!!! (hint: the blank is 4 letters and rhymes with suck (which they also do)).
