TODAY'S THE DAY - EVERYONE IN THE POOL - SEE YA THERE

Park Ave Music

We’ve all heard the phrase, “What goes around comes around.” Whether it was from an uncle whose opinion you trust, or the guy who hangs out at the barbershop all day, we have all had these words etched into our brains. These words, generic as they might be, hold true in several aspects of our lives. Retro Jordan’s still cause people to camp outside of sneaker stores like its 1995. Young kids are rocking “The Box” like Big Daddy Kane’s first album just came out. But most notable in the rotation of popularity is the resurgence of the American car.

Sure, the Chevy Camaro and Dodge Challenger are leading the pack in the comeback of American vehicles, but the dark horse in my eyes is a car that has held its own since its inception in 1991, the Buick Park Avenue. When the Park Ave. is kept clean it is a very classy wheel that holds its own in the history of American vehicles. Sure Buick has entered the luxury market with the Lucerne and LaCrosse, but the simplicity of the Park Ave. gives it an old-school feel that can't be replaced with modern technology. I’m not the only one who feels this way. Don't believe me? Check out this video by The Aviation Club called “Park Ave Music”

The Swimming Hole

I refused to swim in public pools as a kid. Not because I was too good for them. I actually couldn't swim. When it gets hot nowadays, I would swim in just about anything, including a swimming hole. Thankfully, on July 31st I'll be able to enjoy Arrow Swim Clubs private pool.

Tupac's Back

People love Tupac and they love to dance. They get to enjoy both with the video listed below. Rumor has it that Pac will be at Arrow Swim Club on July 31st. We all know that he gets around.

Till Death Do Us Part

By: Kenny Johnson. A daydreamer, perpetrating as an aspiring writer, leaving a trail of ink from Jersey to Los Angeles. He has something to say. Let’s see if you can relate.

There are a few recent sayings whose funerals I am looking forward to attending. “Swag,” “Winning,” and “Leggo,” are at the top of that list, more so out of annoyance than whackness, so I wouldn’t be opposed to an open casket. After the goodbyes are said, and all the corny phrases pay their respects, I imagine as I leave the service, I would spot one phrase off in the corner smoking a blunt and generally being anti-social. Damn, she looks more than alright. Who is this? Who else, but “I Don’t Give A Fuck.”

She’s waiting on a ride; I’ll match her, because it’s always with me. With the smoke clouding the sky and closing our eyes, she starts to open up. She’s not sure why she’s here. Me neither. To me, it seems an inappropriate place for someone “not to give a fuck.” She agreed. I asked who invited her? She responded, “everyone.” Okay, I’ll just blame that response on the good tree, but I needed her to elaborate. She said I wouldn’t understand, but I insisted. She said, “I’m tired of people calling my name in vain. That shit’s not cool.” “But, that’s exactly what it is”, I responded as I exhaled. “Most feel that much cooler when they drop your name around people.” Even I was guilty of doing it a few times.

I passed her the “L.” She took it and explained that dropping her name was more than lame. “Very few know me well enough to call my name, and those that do will show you before they tell you.” I agreed. Then things got a little deeper. She said she deserved to be in the casket more than those other guys. I agreed. She called me an asshole. I agreed again, but the conversation continued.

“Nothing positive comes from me and I’m starting to get used to it,” she said. She was right. Those that are with her care very little. Her mind state always leaves an impression, but rarely builds to progression. Now that phrase was corny, but I felt her. She’s been doing a lot of the destroying, but no one is rebuilding. “I’m tired of this petty shit. I should just hop in the casket with Swag,” she said. She passed the “L” back. “Chill, if you did that, I’d just resurrect you in the face of unjust laws and oppression,” I said. She said, “You’re different, why are you even here?” “To make sure it’s not fake. I’m just here to preserve the cool,” I said. She smiled. We were now down to the only kind of roaches that I’m cool with, and her ride still hadn’t shown up. She asked where I was going next and I told her D.C. She asked, “Do you think I could ride with you?” I responded, “I Don’t Give A Fuck.”

Now if I could only find “In God We Trust.”

Marco.......Polo

On July 31st I have a good reason to get in the pool. I've never played Marco Polo and have no clue what it is.

Piss on Week 7.27.11

Warning!! No one in the following post is actually being pissed on. It is simply an expression meant to describe how outrageous and unforgivable the actions of the following people really are. Anyone who finds this segment offensive automatically gives me the right and the duty to piss on them as well.

Sincerely,

Professional Rationalist

10. Khalifa


There is nothing wrong with a guy “going downtown” on his woman. I do however think that it is something that should be done in private and not on stage at a concert.

Whiz Khalifa gets pissed on for thinking that he has to let us know that he is still seeing Amber Rose. We get it...you guys are having sex!!

9. Donna Simpson


This 700 pound woman is really trying to gain 300 pounds so that she can hold the Guiness World Record’s title of World’s Most Obese Woman.

I’m not pissing on her for wanting to fulfill her fat fantasy, but she does get the business for not taking the time to research what happened to the current world record holder …died due to kidney failure.

8. Appleton Police Officer


This one was a no brainer. An Appleton police officer forced two kids to shut down there lemonade stand because it was allegedly in violation of a city law.

I’m pissing on this cop for not telling them what the hell to do with lemons if they can’t make lemonade.

7. Family Guy


The executive producer of “Family Guy”, Mark Hentemann, has the ability to create some funny sketches for the show, but in real life his timing was way too soon. Just moments after the death of singer Amy Winehouse Hentemann took the stage at Comic-Con and asked the audience if anyone knew if Winehouse was still alive.

Mark gets pissed on for not leaving the Whinehouse jokes to the office dorks that forward each other pics of exposed breasts and kittens.

6. Asante Samuel


So what did Philadelphia Eagle Asante Samuel do during the NFL Lockout...work out with teammates? Visit kids in the community where he grew up? No! He was working on his rap career.



Asante gets pissed on for spending his free time rapping when he should have been figuring out a way to wrap up receivers on the football field.

5. Christine Radogno


I think that Wu-Tang is one of the most relevant rap groups in hip-hop history. But I’ll be damned if they are relevant at a meeting for the State of Illinois.



Christine Radgano gets pissed on for taking the theory that “Cash Rules” too far.

4. Jefferson County Library


Have you ever been running errands and had the sudden urge to watch a porno? Well neither have I, but if that urge were ever to arise just head on down to the Jefferson County Library. This library gives the okay for its patrons to check out the newest adult flicks in public.


The Jefferson County Library gets pissed on for taking business away from the back room at your local video store.

3. Doing Too Much


Just like this hat...sometimes people have too much going on. Have you ever met someone that says that they are working for the Department of Sanitation, while working on writing a play and training for the Summer Olympics? Translation: I’m not doing sh*t.

I’m pissing on anyone that tells me they are doing too much with themselves, because all it means is that they are sitting at home all day doing nothing and wishing that they could accomplish everything that they named.

2. Kurupt


The West-coast old school rapper has a new album on the way that will feature twenty tracks and fifty-five guest appearances.

He gets pissed on by thinking that if he added a bunch of rappers, he could mask the fact that he’s not that good of a rapper.

1. Terry Crews


This one is simple. Anyone that walks around looking like the Pink Panther on steroids gets pissed on.

Easy Money

I'm not a hater, I'm an appreciater, which is why I'm not going to speak ill of the young lady in the clip below. I'm proud that she has turned a video clip and a little fun on the mic into a million dollar record deal. This is why I'm down to bank roll a stylish man or woman that has a few cool catch phrases that he or she would like to lay over a hot beat. Who's in? In 2011, scratch off and lottery tickets are played out. Grabbing a flip cam, dressing like an extra on the show Living Color, and rapping cool one liners you use on twitter is in like snap backs.

Drink Up

There are a couple of things about this video. I have always wanted to have a fridge filled with 40's. I have also always wondered if the woman that had her top pulled down in this video caught the fella that pulled it down and smacked the piss out him. Don't worry ladies, 40 oz beers and top pullers won't be in attendance at the Passion Pool Party.

Pool Party Fun - OH MY

Beautiful women, drinks flowing, fun times, and good music. I'm not only talking about this video which just happens to be a guilty pleasure. I'm actually referring to the Passion Pool Party at Arrow Swim Club on Sunday July 31st.

OPEN 7 Days a Week

4pm-2am

Kitchen Closes 11pm (Sun-Thurs), 1 am (Fri and Sat)

If you didn’t know, UC Dining Days is from July 14th-28th this year. I had the pleasure to take my dining services to Elena’s Soul Lounge. No white T, no backwards hat. (They don’t allow that in the restaurant.)

So, if you are unfamiliar with UC Dining Days here is the website: HERE

The special is $15 for a 3 course meal. If you aren’t starving, I suggest you go with the “Crib” salad. I wasn’t starving, and this is “Eating with Eaze” so you know I had the “Set It Off” Sweet and Sour wings. They were a great way to start the meal. The Bruce Le’Roys Fried Mac & Cheese Sushi was different and very light. If you are looking to explore, try it, but you aren’t missing much if you don’t. It’s fried Mac and Cheese with shredded BBQ chicken on top.

The Second Course
There are five choices; I sampled two of the five, The Classic Soul, and The Soul. I clearly have Soul. The Classic Soul was four fried chicken wings, a ton of collard greens, and a mountain of Mac and Cheese. Everything on the plate was incredible. If you have people in the family with high blood pressure, they probably have had their fair share of plates like this.

The Soul was that southern classic plate of fried whiting and Grits. Don’t forget to throw in a side of fries! The fish was amazing, fried to perfection. The grits were some of the best I’ve had. And they didn’t even have to make them cheese grits. The fries were not really good, but after you devour the fish n’ grits the fries are an after thought.

Dessert
Dessert options were peach cobbler and sweet potato pie. The sweet potato pie was better than the cobbler, but at this point in the meal unless you hadn’t eaten all day, the dessert is really just a bonus.

This is a great sit down meal for $15 and the service isn't bad either. That’s always a plus.

It’s UC Dining Days, Go eat!

Thanks Elena’s Soul Lounge

Sink or Swim

Once I learn how to swim and tread water, I'll be ready to sign up to do this. I'm open to starting a synchronized swimming team as if it were softball. Who knew that this sport was such a huge deal. It's like cheer leading meets swimming. If a group of people have a routine set up, I may have to buy them a round of drinks at Arrow Swim Club on July 31st.

What do NBA Players do wit free time?

With the NFL on the verge of ending its lockout, the NBA will be feeling the pressure to end its lockout in the coming months. Until then, players are enjoying their off time with a slew of random activities. Some players will be taking their talents to South Beach... I mean Turkey, while others are doing clinics in Asia. While many others are conducting free basketball camps in their new or adopted home towns. Ron Artest, Delonte West, and Kobe Bryant are taking things a step further as they perform at a comedy club, freestyle, and play midgets in one on one hoops. You tell me, who's having the most fun.

RON ARTEST HAS JOKES


DELONTE WEST RAPS..SORTA


KOBE PLAYS AGAINST LIKE MIKE

Beauty and Boom

The calm before the storm. They look innocent in the makeup while the cameras are rolling...

and then Boom (just like the Nike commerical), you find yourself laid out on your ass.

Don't worry, while hosting the Passion Pool Party on July 31st, the only thing that will be hitting hard will be the drinks.

Sleep LiL Baby

You can never lose when you have babies, puppies, or grandparents involved. I totally feel where she is coming from. I have felt this tired in the past. We can all learn something from this little person. I may take it a step further and drool, suck my thumb, and eat canned pureed vegetables just to see if I can experience the joy that is written all over her face.

BREAKING NEWS: Cool off with 31PercentLife & The Philadelphia Passion

I've never been a fan of animated adult cartoons. We can discuss this in more detail over a drink on Sunday July 31st at Arrow Swim Club. Then again, if I had seen more scenes like the one below, I'm sure I would have been hooked.

Moses' 10 Other Commandments

While at the Academy of American Poets in New York, Oscar award winner Adrien Brody recited Christopher Wallace's lyrics to his classic track, “10 Crack Commandments. As cool as it is to see this clip and realize how far hip hop has come, it makes me wonder if Brody likes this poem so much because he has seen so much crack consumed during his time in Hollywood. Things that make you say hmmm..(Aresenio Hall Voice)
