You Lie!?


Well I thought it would be appropriate to post this video right above Kanye and Taylor Swift to kinda implement an order of importance which might seep into someone's subconscious. As the President of the United gave a speech calrifying what he hopes to implement as health care reform; South Carolina Republican Rep. Joe Wilson heckled the president during the middle of the speech. I am a proponent of free speech but also speech that is appropriate to the surroundings and situation in which one may find themselves; which Mr. Wilson must have forgotten. Besides the fact that Mr. Wilson lacks a certain sophistication, the president will always have "noisy" critics but the real issue i think hear which should be brought to light is that people really need to carefully determine who we elect to office. If we would like those easily swayed by their emotions Mr. West would make a better politicians than musician. A preponderance of thougt before we express ourselves is always a good thing. ~R.

VMA 09


Alright I thought I post the moment at the VMA's which spurred so much attention and demanded so much interlocution. Personally I am a K.West fan but his emotions got the best of him *which is understandable if you love music because Taylor Swift winning that award was a travesty to the women nominated*; that being said The president calling you a "jack-ass" is a big enough discourtesy, but Mr.Leno really gave Kanye food for thought when he asked him to comtemplate on his action through the words of his late mother... Personally I believe the whole show was a marketing stunt, the sales of everyone involved probably increased considerably and its kinda weird that Taylor swift was inturupted, then performed, and then after that there was a commercial displaying her music. No promotion is bad promotion. ~R.Esquire

If Amadeus had a cat......


This short film was interesting to the say the least. With a dark somber narrator; and a feline with a flare for poetry on the verge of insanity gives way to very artistic yet twisted film. "The Cat Piano" is a film that leaves its message in twisted imagery perhaps best left for those with eccletic taste, however i will leave it up to the individual to determine the artistic value of the piece. ~R.

Thinking of A Master Plan

This is a new cartoon entitled "Blokhedz"created in a joint venture with Gatorade. Staring none other than Talib Kweli the show is very well done and written, a fresh cartoon with urban flavor as an alternative to the usual suspects that invade the television set every saturday morning. This is the first episode with more to posted soon as they develope. ~R. Esquire

Greatest of All Time

If anyone hasnt heard The Greastest of all time to play basketball; Michael Jordan not Kobe or anyone else, shall be inducted into the basketball hall of fame. Notably he chose David Thompson to introduce him because he was Jordan's influence when Thompson was playing college ball at North Carolina State; as Kanye would say "Nobody gets the flowers while they can still smell them". Also on an aside, Jordan's hall of fame poster was designed by one of my favorite artist. ~R. Esquire

Game-tography?

These days it seems everything has to be taken to the extreme but not all in a jejune way. Im not much of a gamer but I have to admit some of the marketing tatics and commercials employed by the companies make me wanna play or watch a movie.... take a peek at this Halo ODST trailer, by the way ive never realized instead of game previews there are more and more trailers.

Sweet and Sour

Honestly i wonder how many people enjoy the taste of beer? I think that beer, no matter the type, usally range along the lower end of my taste rating scale. With that being said i think a viable alternative is hard cider; containing on average the same alcohol content as beer *6%* and barring beers such as Gulden Draak with 10.5% abv content, it seems just as suitable. I wonder why no one cares to purchase it. I can only conclude that for its taste and price perhaps its seems as nothing more than a glorified smirnoff.

Man on the Moon

I have heard the Kid Cudi album "Man on the Moon: The End of Day" and I have to say it is nothing less than I expected. Mixed with an ecclectic taste of instrumentals and an assortments of rhymes; nothing overtly lyrical yet above the norm to catch your attention. The album is certainly a diversion from the endless streamed of swagged out albums which clutter shelves with their jejune content. ~R. Esquire

Wooden Accoustics


As a super music enthusiast Ive always had an urge to be a DJ, however lacking the equipment and training it seems it may have to postponed a little bit. However for those that have the skill and not to mention the extra capital; this fine piece of furniture is an incredible symbol of you enthusiasm for music. R. Esquire

PS3 on a diet


Im not usually a gamer but if i do play im very selective on the games. Sony is now introducing the PS3 Slim in September of this year. I know game consoles are going up but worst come to worst you get a blu-ray DVD player with wifi. Aside from the God of War 3 and Street Fighter Anyone? R. Esquire

Virtual Miles

Kind of Bloop, an 8-bit version of the Miles Davis "Kind of Blue". I think its worth a lesson at least once, but perhaps its for those with more of an ecclectic taste; I mself having played trumpet always willing to hear anything Miles. R. Esquire

The return of the Gentleman

In modern times in the midst of glorified gangsters and skaters, it seems the gentleman of yester-years is all but a myth in society. However perhaps a resugence of the gentlemen is just what we all need now-a-days. The book by Enitan Bereola entitled "Bereolasque" is a guide for the modern man to follow in order to achieve success. It is yet to be determined whether the gentleman will be accepted well by women but it never hurts to better one's self. R.Esquire
