Worst. Rap. Ever.

Yeah, I think if you're dropping ref to "Whole Foods" and the shape of the Audi logo, your rap's kind of a lame sell-out. Is it supposed to be clever? It's, well, not.

I said, "what time you get off?"
She said, "when you get me off"
I kinda laughed but it turned into a cough
Because I swallowed down the wrong pipe
Whatever that mean, you know old people say it so it sounds right
So I'm standing there embarassed, if we were both in pairs
I would have grabbed her by the waist and kissed her, but
We in the middle of whole foods, and those foods
Ain't supposed to beef, but you'd think I hate tofu
Check-in line got rowdy, my vision got cloudy
I started seeing some circles like some audi
Emblem, I'm hearing them say, come on man
Do this own your own time, get the hell on, man
I walked out, hm, I got bout
Half-way to my car when I heard shorty shout
"3000, forgot your credit card, smart move
By the way, my little sister loves your cartoon"
Well, here's my name and numb
If I ain't the one, lose it, if I am, use it
If a man chooses, and he can, do's it
And he don't, don't take it personal, he might be might be swamped
With making mozarella - no, making laws bettter
Cheese will come, believe me, I'm, never focussed on the cash
Ask Mel Gibson, Jesus Christ, I'm bout the pass... ion

The bridge, though, is brilliant. (And by bridge I mean "chorus, second stanza.")

Ahh, ahh, ahh-ahhh, ahhhh...
She's fine too, but I want you...
Ahh, ahh, ahh-ahhh, ahhhh...
She's fine too, but I want you...

Does sample a song I like. But the minute he says "Whole Foods," I'm like, yeah, no you didn't. Awful. Thanks for that, LaunchCast.

Huh?

Guess I need to do some research to see what it was I just watched because I feel like that was the least informative episode of LOST I've seen yet. On the other hand, it didn't seem to really raise any new questions. (Lori wants to know why Jack got beat up in the flashback.)

The Great Cingular Experiment, Day 2

I eliminated two phones for not offering Bluetooth. It wasn't intentional, I was just looking at their reviews. They were also described as "cute" by female reviewers and "too small" by male reviews. I also consolidated models with the same model number (but of differing colors) into single entries. And I eliminated the Smartphone because it's actually too much phone... would require a fancier plan to really take advantage of all of the phone's features. And two of them at $75 a piece plus tax would be a little more on the pricey side. I also researched the rebates, because some phones on Amazon are listed as negative $100 final price. Those are mail-in rebates. So that means I pay nothing for the phones and then file for mail-in rebates and get cash back. Of course, we know how those work... probably only valid on the first phone and takes about 32 weeks to get the rebate check. There's 3 Samsung models, 1 Nokia, six Motorola models and 3 LG models. I'm hoping to not get a Motorola, but I'm going to try to keep an open mind. Looking just at the little photo of each phone, I'm drawn to the LGs.

Argh. Was absolutely sure I had a pair of black pants in my hand. Get out of my car at work and I'm wearing dark blue pants. And a black sweater. Ruins the entire look. Does look far better with black dress shoes than the sneakers I was wearing at the time. And granted, I could pick out my clothes the night before when I have light to work with. But I think the easiest solution is to charitize all of my blue pants and buy a few more pairs of black pants. From now on, only black and shades of khak. No more impostor blue pants. Yeah, sure, this is a dumb worthless post better for my MySpace blog, but it's too early in the morning to be on myspace with all its tacky advertising and time-out errors.

The Great Cingular Experiment, Day 1

On August 23, our contract with Verizon Wireless ends. We've had Verizon wireless for most of our marriage and with the exception of one trip to the East Coast where they messed up my billing. (Ultimately fixed.)

Sadly, since moving to the new state, we've come to find out that we live in a "known trouble area with no planned fix" and I work in a "known trouble area with no planned fix."

So, I have six months to figure out what to do next. I've opted to go with Cingular also known as AT&T. I've not heard the best things about their customer service, but their actual service is supposedly top notch in our area. And in our office building, they have a repeater for Cingular so it works flawlessly.

On Amazon.com, they're selling phones for a penny that cost $100 on Cingular's website, so I've opted to purchase the plan from Amazon.com.

Amazon.com lists 43 phones. Lori and I prefer flip phones, so the first order of business was to eliminate the non-flips. That's taken the list down to 22. That's where I'll stop for now.

Happiness

It's a sunny 58 degrees out. That's warm enough to have the windows open and make everything smell clean and fresh with a refreshing breeze. Unlike California, it's quiet enough to have the windows open.
