Every time we hit this kind of a mark, I like to do a "best of" or "favorites or mine."  Previously we (as in I) did ***30,000+ views - Best of the blog so far*** and *** 100,000+ views ***.

It's SOOOOO hard to choose when you only post stuff you think is dope.  Either way, here it goes..

Music:

As always, typing things in the search window (to the right) like "crunch galaxy", "dilla", "very fresh", "busta rhymes", "common", "original samples", etc. will always lead you to some greatness.

SHOWTIME (c) Swizzy

after the prison rape experience that was frontier airlines im almost surprised to say that we made it from home to our terminal in 45 min flat, security check and all. but ill wait till i touch down in LA to be excited about flying again and thats word to the oakland layover. jetblue got movies or some shit tho so im hype...

i got about 3 hours of sleep last night overall. like i was up and at em at 4.30 so this coffee im drankin prolly will not do much to keep me awake on the flight. when we touch down i think we goin shopping and gettin ready for the j*davey party. that should be a great time seeing as how anytime i get around my cali cousins we have a ball.

actually you know what i think imma go finish organizing my ipod. i *almost* got done with it last night. so ill holler at you folks later.

ps - that image above is the graphic on the tour shirts. you really need one in your life.
pps - flight attendant is a sexy ass job. like even if you aint a sexy lady, thats a sexy ass job

... oh yeah, Don Julio is my shit!  Best Tequila out if you ask me.  Patron's aiight, but Don Julio is where it's at.

Don't forget about these goodies either:
