(I completely forgot how much time is taken up by the process of drinking--going to the liquor store, cleaning out shot glasses, ripping some shots, finding a red cup, waiting in line at the keg, pumping the keg, sleeping, and nursing your hangover--so I am attempting to reorganize and prioritize my priorities and get back to blaggging) So back from my tangent, Mitro comes running into my room saying "Dude come quick, you gotta see this!" My intuition told me it was probably going to be a video on XTC.plur.blogspot.org of me yelling obscenities at Steve Aoki such as "I Fucking LOVE Bennihannahsssssss." However, when I enetered into room 5 this is what I saw and recorded on my iPhone (ps, for those of us that are not privlaged to have the 3GS, there is a sweet little app callee iVideoCamera which will cost ya 99 cents, but takes pretty decent videos as you can see below)
It turns out that it was no bigger than the size of a dime, and Scudder (who I learned was a Black Widow expert) proclaimed that it was around 4-5 months old, definitely a female probably just entering into her menstral cycle (who new spiders had periods) Although it was hard to get a picture of the spider because it was so damn small, I did my best.
As many of you know, since Mitrovich finally negotiated and signed his endorsement deal with Blackberry (rumors have surfaced that he signed for $6 million dollars a year plus medical benefits and all you can drink PBR) the rest of the class 'A' Iv celebrities followed suite. Today, an extremely exclusive cult like organization has been formed amongst those who are responsible for organizing 'late night planet earth sessions with GK' or 'morning chompers & volleyball with mr. hahn' all through communication via blackberry messaging. Now I do not fully comprehend the process of how bbming works, but from what i've been able to decipher is that essentially BBM is a real-time messaging system that allows users to have conversations with one another or even from groups of people to partake in a conversation. The BBM system works through the users internet connection (were talking 3g here) so that the user is not charged per message like he or she would be for SMS and all they need is an unlimited data plan.
well, im back home in the 303 and its been super mellow. i feel like i completely forgot what it was like just to chill out by yourself. mind you that i would pay a ridiculous amount of money to viski back here sooner than friday, it was definitely rejuvenating. so, with nothing to do, i started playing around in photoshop--and a few hours later, i finished up a ROUGH logo. i got kinda inspired by a RVCA so cal feel with some rays i saw off a obey shirt a while back. the first words out of clayton's mouth when i showed him were "that looks like absolute shit." nonetheless, its a start. and by the end of the break, clayton and i hope to put together a revolutionary new look to the banner. so please, if any of you guys got some ideas, lemme know.
Cudi is (deservingly) right in the midst of stardom. I guess he was just letting all the haters know that he is the real deal. As for the beat he flows on, its by an indie/alternative band called New Vampire Weekend. So although Edward Cullen is NOT a member, their shit is actually pretty decent. Check out this new song coming off their upcoming album entitled Horchata. 
2) Many of you may not no this, but on October 25th I embedded a program called google analytics into our blaag. Essentially, Google has created the ultimate way to monitor the people who visit your site. The image at the top (click to make it big) represents our visitor overview. 
The statistics are pretty self explanatory, but please not the anomaly on November 4th when idiot posted the blog in his status. Google analytics allows you to do other crazy shit like see what continents/countires/regions/cities the hits are coming from and even lets you see what kind of computer our site was accessed on. However, as you can interpret (or even imagine if your too lazy to click on that first box) our hits were significantly reduced after we put the password restriction on the blog, and in turn, made checking google analytics boring as fuck. 
Now, I'm not sure what all these stats mean, but I'm putting Weeks in charge of compiling a comprehensive demographic analysis to help further expand our music/commentary to the rest of the world (except for the people in the little town of IV--shouts to Pruett)
Hello my blogging friends and welcome to the inaugural post in my weekly series--A Case of the Mondays. I hope that picture to the right doesn't disturb you from reading this post, especially if it made you think this was going to be a review of the Marilyn Manson's most recent concert at the Santa Barbara bowl (I think that's actually coming from Pruett later this week). But anyway back to the picture, its from a genre of music and performance that has never been discussed here on hiplectic--Broadway Musicals. Yes Jimmy--the keeper of the corner house kitten (rip)--your right, this picture is from Cats, arguably one of the most famous musicals of our lifetime. Clayton and I grew up on musicals. Every morning Pam would be blasting (and singing along) to some Broadway performance. Nonetheless, I actually enjoyed the CD's (minus Mom singing)--particularly the fact that the music was pretty decent, but more importantly that there was perfect cohesion and flow between songs. Although the majority of mainstream music (at least rap) fails to even come close to matching the fluidity of a musical, the select few of albums that do are (in my book) cold stone classics. At the top of the ranks rests BIG's Ready to Die (download)-Frontal.jpg)
which fades in with a skit depicting the birth, childhood, teenage years, arrest, and release from prison. This sets up the a cohesive theme of BIG in the past, today and future which underlies every song. If you haven't listened to this album all the way through, quit farming for 45 minutes and do it. Other albums which have 'listen straight through without ever being tempted to press play potential' (LSTWEBTTPPP) include Nas's Illmatic (download) and 50 Cent's Get rich or die trying (Chromeo – Momma’s Boy from leomelofon on Vimeo.
