New York vs. Dallas

I love Dallas. And I love New York. This is one of the reasons I <3 NY. These types of guys just don’t exist in Dallas.  I am not even slamming these dudes. I can totally appreciate all of our differences.   Texas has the redneck, frat boy version, but these dudes cannot be topped (no homo):

I really like that song.   Here is another…

Having a Bad Day?

It could not be worse than this poor lady. What the hell is going on here?

Caught on Tape: Yung Berg Pleads ‘Artist’ to Crime

But his ‘manager’ steals the show     I am definitely not hating… I just chalk it up to being ‘yung’.

Hey. People Were Really Celebrating.

…And the news covered it.

Bulldogs and Chimps

I have always loved bulldogs, and now I MUST have one! I dare you not to smile! Oh yeah, and watch it all the way through to the end. Apparently, these guys are super famous in Japan. If we have TV like this, I would never leave the house!

Japanese “We Are the World”

The title of this post could not be more precise.   Another Skeet Skeet find, and as strange as they come.   If you are remotely close to age 30, you will not be able to watch this without cracking a nostalgic smile.

Hip-hop, Acoustic Guitars and JawKneeYeah

I have this theory about hip-hop and acoustic guitars. Back in the old days, kids learning to play guitar would spend hours trying to strum out songs like “Stairway to Heaven”, “Dust in the Wind” or “Hotel California” and later anything by Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins for days. Well kids are still picking up guitars, but now there is this hugely pervasive and inescapable influence in their life – hip-hop, or for the purists, let’s refer to it as hip-pop. I am sure just about everyone has the Dynamite Hack – NWA acoustic track from way back when, and we all loved it for its novelty. But there is a small explosion of kids picking out hip-pop songs on their acoustic guitars, probably for the same reasons previous generations… ladies will always love guitar players.

But back to my theory… I think kids today find it just as fun to dive right into playing hip-pop songs on their guitars and probably have no issues at all passing on the acoustic -friendly songs that their parents probably loved. They are winning high school talent shows by playing the acoustic version of ‘In da Club’. The trend will no doubt continue, and guys like this dude below are leading the charge. JawKneeYeah is just another reason to love YouTube. Hip-pop, asian stereotypes, creative use of a webcam, and lots of laughing out loud. Listen for his hilarious tweaks to the lyrics. I want this guy at my next party! By my rough count, he appears to have pulled in about 3 million or more views of his videos, which pretty much makes him a star by today’s standards.
