Groovy Verse of the Day 3000
“I Do” by Young Jeezy ft. Jay-Z and Andre 3000 is merely an “OK” song. Young Jeezy hasn’t been fun for me to listen to since high school. Something about his voice and the way he structures his rhymes just don’t suit my taste. I like Jay-Z. His verse here, while being heartfelt and clever, … Read more
What to watch when you’re watching: A crash course to a more fulfilling movie experience
You sit down. The lights go out. You grab a handful of popcorn. You shut out the rest of the world and all the cares and worries you harbor and watch a movie. That is the base for this series: We sit down in the theater or in our homes because we want something to take … Read more

The Hunger Games- A satisfying meal
I am a latecomer to this phenomenon. I don’t really remember hearing much about Suzanne Collins’s book series as they were released, except that they were supposed to be quality young adult literature. I paid more attention to the details surrounding the film adaptation that was forming because it involved the media I focus heavily … Read more
Monday GOTD
There isn’t much explanation behind this one… “The Hand That Feeds” by Nine Inch Nails is a song I’ve been revisiting a lot lately. I’ve not always been a fan of the band and, oddly enough, it was the score that Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross created for The Social Network that brought me into … Read more
A Dedicated Groove of the Day
This is for one of my good friends whom passed away last October. He introduced me to Pantera and when I hear this song, it takes me back to a night, standing by a fire, listening to him tell me about the genius of guitarist, Dimebag Darrell. I’ve listened to this song countless times since … Read more
“No one’s doing this but you. You know that right?”

Just something really quick and awesome

She’s been reading my blog, like any good mother would, and saw my Lil Wayne “Prom Queen” GOTD yesterday. My mom is not a Lil Wayne fan and does not like rap music; although I do remember … Read more
