121209 Rainy California Saturday

So it’s funny in California how when it rains it does in the whole state pretty much. If you check out the weather for today then all of Cali is pretty much yellow or red or whatever is extreme weather. So with that and it being the weekend I have decided to stay in. Also because I was under the weather yesterday I don’t think going out in the cold and rain would be a good idea. So what do you do on your Saturday’s, if you stay in? Well for today, I will be hopefully recooperating and getting better. Also I will watch any type of sports on television.

Also I have had this thing about chili lately. It’s been on food network and the internet a lot lately. So my one of my cousins, Eric, and I had lunch. And then we decided to put out a throwdown for chili. Which will be happening next Friday. So there is a couple of problems for me. Number one, being sick I can’t taste really well right now. The second issue is that I have never made chili, before but it looks easy so that’s why we are doing it. We did something similar to this a few years back when we took a cousin trip to Lake Tahoe. Except there we made pizzas for our throwdown.

So what do you do when its rainy and its your day off on the weekend? It’ll be interesting to see what people do on this day.

121109 EW Top Album of the Decade: Kanye West – The College Dropout…

Ok let me start off by saying, I know the Entertainment Weekly really has no credibility in many circles in the world. Well maybe mom’s who have 2 kids and watch Oprah every day or the Tweenies that love Twilight. But this is one of those times where I think they got it right, well at least for #1. There is so much you can say about music, it seems that everyday I have some type of conversation about music. Hell even a lot of my blogs talk about music in them in some way. Music is a essential part of most of our daily lives. It’s playing in the background as you work, the ringtone you have is probably a song clip, you look up music from TV shows you watch. The link to the article is here.

So let me start off by saying this. This album was literally in my car for 3 years straight. It was on both in CD form and MP3. For some reason before most of the controversy and drama, Kanye West really interested me. First off I was drawn in by the “Through the Wire” video. It was interesting in the way it was presented as well as the story that it told. Then as his story was told more and more I found out through research how involved he was in music that was out ala Rock-a-Fella and producing. Another video that drew my attention was the “All Falls Down” video. I mean how can you go wrong with Stacey Dash of Clueless fame? Also his persona and just demeanor was not that of a normal “rapper”. No big chains, super baggy clothes, white tees, wifebeaters, tattoo’s. West didn’t fit a mold. He was more like the preppy kid in school. He made popping polo collars trendy as well as killed it with his shoe game.
