B-ball and Candidates for Governor

Hello ya'll. I haven't been keeping up with the news the last couple of days but I have been keeping up with the NBA Playoffs. Shaq and The Heat are just a game away from the NBA Finals, but Detroit isn't ready to go home yet. So who wins the NBA Title this year? If Miami finishes off the Pistons, I believe they have the best chance of winning it all. Phoenix and Dallas can run and Dallas is much better on defense, but the Heat are a more balanced team and their players know their roles. In my beloved West, I think Dallas has the will to beat the Suns and go to the Finals. I think the Suns have a good running team, but their defense has lapses during games and it takes more than offense to win it all. For anyone keeping up with the mud-slinging Democratic campaigns here in CA, who do you think will challenge Screwzafella? I'm pulling for Angelides because I like what he's talking about and his campaign is slightly cleaner than the Westly outfit at this point. I also believe he's got a good chance of beating Ahnold in the Election. Hopefully, we still have a state by the time Election Day rolls around. So can anyone do a thing about our soon-to-be $5.00 a gallon gas? Nope, not as long as Dubya is runnin' things and lining his pockets. Too bad we can't power cars on B.S. because we'd always have a full tank! Hi-Lo.

Poof! Deficit gone!

Hey ya'll. So have you heard what Gubna Screwzafella is shoveling now? Apparently, our mighty California deficit has disappeared and we now have a five billion dollar surplus. Wow, just in time for the upcoming elections! Where did this miraculous surplus come from and how did it remain undiscovered until now? I think this guy's got the wrong idea about running a mud-slinging campaign; you see, Gubna, you're supposed to shovel shit at opposing candidates not the voters and your bowel movements don't pay down the deficit. If you say it, they'll believe... I don't think so. I can't wait to hear the other fairy tales Screwzafella's got for us in the coming months. Maybe he'll tell us all the illegal aliens parted the border fences and went back to Mexico yesterday. Yep, all those landscapers, cooks and housekeepers you see aren't Mexicans, they're dark-skinned white folks who've reclaimed the jobs the illegals were stealing from them all these years. You know, I really hate that term "illegal aliens" because it makes the people sound as if they come from another planet and they're criminals. They better hope the Mexicans and Salvadorians don't listen because the state would starve without food, the houses and businesses would collapse under the dirt, the cars would fall apart, the lawns would die and the parents would have to take care of their own kids! Let's be real folks, we still have a deficit of ten bajillion dollars and the immigrants aren't going anywhere because rich folks aren't going to pay a decent wage for work they feel is menial. If you want to get rid of all the problems with California you don't need to get rid of a few million immigrants, you just need to get rid of ONE! Hi-Lo.

Gnarls Barkley

Hey ya'll. Did you see that performance by Gnarls Barkley on Conan last night? Was that not the shiznit? I hope that slow version of "Crazy" becomes available soon. If it wasn't for this kind of music, how would I get through life nowadays? I've GOT to get that CD! Later. Hi-Lo.

New music

What's up cats? I've been gone for a minute, thinking and working. Lately, I've been listening to a lot of new music and spending time with my girl. Still, the writing offline has continued. As most of you know, my disgust with the state of the world, specifically our country, is always the central theme of my posts. I do have to share my impressions of the new music my wife and I have experienced of late. First of all, if you haven't listened to the radio in a bit, there's a new group out there called Gnarls Barkley that you MUST hear. The group consists of Cee-Lo and Danger Mouse and they are the shiznit. Check them out on MySpace and peep the tracks. All the tracks are hittin' and Just a Thought is on my MySpace. Also, you gotta check out my homie, the Tennessee Hustler, LaronQ on MySpace. He's got some other level type stuff that you have to hear. Music is one of the biggest reasons I make it through these times, the biggest being the love of my girl. If you feel the same, check out these Artists and enjoy. Hi-Lo.
