Notice anything wrong here? I do, those team names don't make sense anymore. Can anyone think of anywhere else less 'Jazz' than Utah?

Here is my solution to this.


As you can see on this map of various Santas in the United States, if the Charlotte Bobcats traded the name to Utah, Utah could trade their name back to New Orleans, and New Orleans could trade their name back to Charlotte. (Note: this triangle also potentially includes the most Santas available in the South and Mid-West portions of the country.)

Utah Bobcats, New Orleans Jazz, and Charlotte Hornets.


If they do end up taking this idea - Utah, you have to put this on a jersey.

I can still remember everything about the day we filmed Mt. Dew, it was the first video Andrew and I ever made together. I think I would have been really happy to know that eight years later - we'd still be at it.

Those are fabulous punchlines.
Fabolous - Suicide (from the There Is No Competition mixtape)

Fabolous - You Ain't Got Nothin' On Me (featuring Lil Wayne & Juelz Santana)

This is the last video my camera got to film before it broke.
A clown with a knife. What a fucking terrible way to go out, right? I bet he thought he would die at an old age, filming a sunset over a beach. Nope. Clown with a knife.

Not having a camera for like 4 days was agonizing. Having a ton of cool/crazy stuff going on just rubbed salt (and lemon juices from one of those little plastic lemons that is supposed to look just like a real lemon) in the wound. But, the saddest thing is I missed the opportunity to film something really really amazing when I had the camera (this was Saturday - it broke on Sunday). Are there any moments that you really regret not capturing? If so, check out this incredible site that collects essays from photographers, writing about the photographs not taken. My favorite is from Mark Steinmetz.

All this music is making me hungry.
I realized not too long ago that I hadn't really bothered to get any new music since moving to LA. Well, these last two weeks have definitely changed that. Now I'm siting on a fat stack of new stuff that'll last me weeks.

Here are three tracks that I've had for quite a while now but are still in the daily rotation. Maybe you'll like them too?

The Katt Williams Interlude (from Gangsta Grillz: The Album)

The Click - Hurricane

Clyde McPhatter - Mixed Up Cup

Happy Birthday Guys!

Anibal Rivera (not this one) came into his third period Global Studies class. He told his students that in Spring Quarter they would be welcoming two new foreign exchange students. They were twins from Australia. Their names were Adrian and Ashley. The boys in the class didn't respond with any jokes or snide comments like they always seemed to do. In fact, none of them said anything. It was because their minds were too busy, thinking of all the carnal things they could whisper in bed to both of the beautiful, blonde, Australians.

Spring came and just like Anibal had announced earlier in the year - so did the twins. Though the boys' fantasies about erotic pillow talk changed just as the seasons do. There were two reasons for this. One was because the Barbies they had spent an entire winter daydreaming about ended up being two small Chinese boys. The other reason was that the brothers who spent long enough in Australia to develop a thick accent - were simply too hard to understand.
