They are ... DOPE!!!!

What is you ask? The genius of Fanny Pak, you know the group that was on ABDC before it turned into complete and utter bullshit. The episodes that inspired me to dream of being a dancer even though i can't dance. So a li'l while ago, i was going on a search of choreography just because I felt like it. And I came across a few clips of my beloved Fanny Pak and spent hours on various youtube channels watching everything Fanny Pak.

So I'm just gonna post a few of the videos I favorited.


I loved the drop at 0:15 ... that is called dedication cause it looked like it hurt. Well it would certainly hurt me.


Fanny Pak isn't in this, but their choreographer, Matt Cady, put this piece together and OMG I AM IN LOVE. With the dance and the song.


Beau, right w/ red shorts, one of my favs.

Random | Consider This A FACT

I just randomly came across this dope description of my sign. It has to be THEE third best one I've found thus far. And it is pretty accurate.

I'm an Aries.

Aries live life head first; after all, those horns on your head are not just for fighting. Your headstrong nature can make you a “battering ram” and woe is the person who stands in your way.

Aries are noted for courage and leadership qualities, primarily because you are nearly always ready for action. The need for excitement pushes you into new territory — and as long as you are ahead of others while demonstrating confidence, chances are that they will follow you. As self-ordained leader of the pack, Aries fight for what you believe to be important. But it’s not that Aries are fearless. Your courage is more of a commitment to face your fears and overcome them.

Aries motto is “Ready, fire, aim!” It may be backwards for others, but you’d rather figure out what to do while you are doing it. Impulsive actions, however, can bring you your share of trouble. While others are gathering information to make informed decisions, you are already on your way. As such, you could suffer from false starts. In fact, you Aries are so good at starting things that you can be off onto your next project before completing the previous one. As you Aries mature, you learn to slow down your reaction time in order to think about the consequences of your actions.

Element: Fire

Fire signs are naturally warm. A fire gives light and heat, but it doesn’t get depleted as others feed on its warmth. One candle can bring light to a room and it won’t burn any faster if ten people read from its light than if there was only one. Fire doesn’t plan it next move; it isn’t logical. It simply is in the moment and will burn what fuel is available without judgment or forethought. For this reason fire signs can successfully rely on their intuition and survival instincts.
The fire of Aries is spontaneous and hot. It’s like a pile of dry kindling that burns fast but cannot sustain itself for the long haul.

First House: Self

The First House symbolizes our physical body and our personality — how we appear to the outer world. It’s not necessarily who we are; it’s what we bring to a situation and how others see us. It represents our childhood, the beginning of any activity or even the start of a new relationship. It’s not, however, about the other person; it’s about how others see us. No doubt, everything starts with the First House.

Key Planet: Mars

Mars is called the “Angry Red Planet.” In Greek mythology, Mars was the God of War. But Mars isn’t only about fighting; it’s about going somewhere, going anywhere. If someone is in our path, then, perhaps we must fight with them in order to keep going. Mars is like the gas pedal of our bodies. It’s represents how we move forward in life. In any chart, Mars offers clues as to how we express our basic energy. As the key planet of Aries, it reminds us to “just do it.”

Aries Greatest Strength:
Your courage to overcome fear

Aries Possible Weakness:
Not finishing things you start

I am ARIES, hear me roar .... RAWR! *displays claws* LOL

Song Of The Day

So Dope

MTV Shows

POW .. how bout I loved what he did for Wayne's and Eninem's verses. That sh*t is hot. Gives the song more life than it already has. I love it.

The Videos I Worked So Hard On . . .

So, we all know that I saw Trey on Oct. 14th. I made a compilation video of all the footage I obtained. Now with the making of this video, everything that could go wrong went wrong. First my files wouldn't play properly on my computer, twitvid and YouTube. Consequently, I had to YouTube a tutorial on how to convert the format of my camera videos to videos that could be read on my computer. YouTube, despite how much I hate it, has its share of geniuses who actually help you out of a bind. You just gotta know exactly what you're looking for. So I go to the website specified in the video. It's an alright website might I add. I won't post it here due to it being damn near illegal and I ain't tryna get that sh*t shut down. Moving on . . .

I had a total of 10 (more or less) videos. The conversions took me 3 hours in total to complete. Then I had to make my own typed commentary, so that took a minute also. Once that was all done, I put it all together. And I started thinking. I needed some background music. In comes Drake - Say Something. It was perfect. An hour later I'm done. Then I had to publish it to my computer. BTW I made the video via Windows Movie Maker. I got skills. Anyway. THIS SH*T! It took an hour to publish to my damn computer. So I'm sleepy as hell, trying to hurry up only to find that this thing is moving at snails pace. FML.

Once that finished, I goes to YouTube to upload. *rolls eyes* Come to find out they do not accept videos over 10 minutes in length. Guess how many minutes my video was. 19! And its 5 a.m. I'm half pass dead, ready to give up. But I kept going. I had some UNREAL determination that night. SMH. So I goes to Photobucket praying that it would upload the entire thing. And I fell asleep on my laptop, knowing that I had to wake up at 9. Turns out that Photobucket was on that same bullsh*t YouTube was on. So I gave up. I had to redo the video and break it into two. I hate that I had to do that, but check what I came up with.





The things I do for my peeps. smh. UNREAL. LOL. I went to great lengths to finish this for yall.

Check This Out . . .

I think this is pretty awesome. I wish I had the technology to do this. Anything word associated when trying to put a lyric video together is just great to me. Especially if they come out looking like this.

Video Spotlight | "Supernova"

Came across this little gem of a video on iTunes as I was searching for a particular song I can't find. I can't believe I never heard this song. I love it. It's pretty nice, well to me at least. Thought I should share this with yall, or myself, whichever is appropriate. *cough* myself *cough*

Creative Thursdays | Part 1

I really love this cover. The design of it is pretty dang cool. Although I'm not a fan of The Clipse, I still appreciate this and wanted to share this with yall.

Coolness

A few months ago, my bff William found this website and linked me to it. I am very suspicious of websites I know nothing about. Come on, VIRUSES ARE EVERYWHERE. But I clicked on the link, and I haven't regretted it since. I actually forgot about this site for a while. Now that it's back, I can't stop messing with it. It is so addictive. I love it.

This website is called aM laboratory. When you click on the link, look at the picture below and click on the appropriate boxes that I clicked on. Once all filled, yall will be able to hear a song I made. It's pretty cool.

You can also, if your lazy and don't want to click on the squares yourself, copy and paste these numbers on the black grid and it will play. It might sound a little messy depending upon the health of your computer.

64,16896,0,4160,0,130,0,2560,144,2080,128,0,0,0,2048,512

Note: You're better off putting the boxes in yourself because if you copy and paste it will freeze your browser for a minute.

It's just so great, don't you agree?

So Amazing....

Just watch the whole 4:44 minutes, you will love it.

Okay Now!

Just wanted to share this little video with you all, I got a li'l laugh out of it. More shock and awe, but I did still laugh.

What is WOW spelled backwards?

Thanks to @AmoretteDesigns for this video. When I first hit play I was like … OH WOW! THIS IS CRAZY AS HELL. THIS MANS VOICE. WOW. CHECK IT OUT FOR YOURSELF.



BONG!

Who Knew It Could Sound This Good...

I'm talking about a ukulele. Yall know what those are. Them li'l tiny guitar like things. A hawaiian type of instrument. That's the best way I can describe it, by using the context it was used in.

So I found this guy on YouTube a few years ago. He is a genius with this ukulele. I never knew it could sound this good. This man has skills. What is his name? Jake Shimabukuro. Just check these vids out.





Amazing right??

Creative Thursdays

I think I'm gonna do this every thursday, find a video and spotlight it based on the content within the video and not the song it's self. I appreciate well thought out videos. I appreciate thought put into videos. I appreciate stories. So its only right that I do this. So I'm gonna start with this video by Gnarls Barkley.

Why do I like it?
It's something about this video. How he says that he loves her. How she's saying that she don't want to be with him. How he pours his heart out to her. How he literally gives her his heart but she doesn't want it. UGH I LOVE IT!! Instead of it being in words, I can see it.

And it helps that I love the song itself. The video helped solidify the meaning of the song.

Gnarls Barkley - Who's Gonna Save My Soul


Rewatching this video ... i get chills. When the heart comes alive and he says "Still my hunger turns to greed, but what about what I need" yeesh .... chills. I dont know maybe its how he sung it.
