It's a celebration, bitches...
It doesn't really feel like my birthday and I don't really feel 25 so I thought I would mention a few things on my mind, 25 years to the day I was born. First of all, it's strange being a quarter of a century old. In middle school Coolio made it seem like 24 was super old, but I'm pretty sure he was on crack because I don't feel all that old. I have noticed that I don't bounce back as quick as I did after a fall then when I was 10. I am not as good at math as I was when I was 18 or 8 for that matter. I've actually got quite a few gray hairs (not a ton but at least 15), I kind of like it. I feel like Sheed. I don't wear t-shirts that go down to my knees (whose idea was it to rock extra large t-shirts when you're a size small). As Kanye says, "Damn here we go again...Everything I'm not made me everything I am."
So just a few things to think about. Recently, while at the Olive Garden with my mom I realized that it wasn't really a taste of Italy I was getting but a taste of Scorcese. I feel like I'm sitting in a resturaunt with Ray Liotta, Deniro and Pesce about to come over and tell me to move. I mean seriously. Who feels like they're in Italy when eating endless soup and salad. They play Sinatra as loud as they can, the manager walks around in his suits making sure everything is okay, like he's going to off the waiter if it's not. It's pretty ridiculous if you ask me. Shouldn't there be like some guy in a gondola or some funny looking guys arguing in italian about smoething ridiculous like a parking space. That's what Italy is really like.
As many of you may have heard, Kanye and 50 Cent both have albums out as of Tuesday. 50 recently said that if Kanye's album outsold his, then he would retire. I bought Kanye's cd as soon as I could. He has also said that he doesn't think an album can be good if it doesn't sell millions of albums. Now I have hated 50 for quite some time but now he is getting out of control in an Anna Nicole kind of way. He said that Ghostface Killah (probably the only one truly killin it at the moment) is awful because his albums don't sell and that his record label should drop him. Also with a new album out on tuesday was Kenny Chesney. Last week on 106 and Park, Kanye and 50 were on together talking about their albums and who would win and whatever, and one of the hosts mentioned that Chesney has a new album out the same day and how would that affect their sales. They then showed a picture of Kenny, to which Kanye payed his dues and said that KC was killin it in country and doin his thing and props to him. 50 on the other hand said, "I've never seen that bitch before." He then went on to say that he doesn't care about him and that there's no way KC's album will sell more than his. WTF 50? Why are you talkin shit to a picture of a country singer. Have you really slid so far downhill that poking fun at dwarfs like Ja Rule has gotten old and now you call someone you have never seen before, who by the way sells more albums than you so according to you is a better artist, a bitch? I bought both Kenny's and Kanye's albums and I last I heard it was Kanye in 1st and Kenny in 2nd with 50 in a distant 3rd. My only hope is that 50 does retire and never makes a sound for the rest of his life.
Anyways, I'm out. Get your feet off the ground and reach for the stars. Go big or go home. Pain heals, chicks dig scars and glory lasts forever. Carpe diem. Your heart is free, have the courage to follow it.
Happy birthday
-M, p & z
oh ps - I also recently bought a few other albums, new Tegan and Sara, 2 albums by the Detroit Cobras (introduced to me by Tristan's gf while in San Diego), Sonya Ktchell and the best album of all of these, the new Rilo Kiley. Go pick up some music, it's good for you.

Congrats on the big 2-5. I actually just wrote a blog on how much I dislike the Olive Garden. I find their motto particularly bothersome. "When you're here, you're family." Really? 'Cause my family doesn't charge me money whenever I eat dinner at their place. I just we're just weird.
I would love to see 50 eat it as well. I don't really care about rap anymore, I would just love to see if he'll actually go through with his otherwise "threat."
You know why the seats are so big at the OG? Because some obese man sued them cuz he didn't fit in their seats. Now that's a sign of good quality food.
Dave bought 50's cd so it'll cancel out your purchase, but when he went to play it he realized he'd bought the edited version. douche bag.
Happy belated berfday, dude. 25 is a monster. Life changes drastically, but you stay the same. And that's a good thing. Have fun and keep your head above water in LA. Also, I hate Fiddy. Would love for his "creative" juice to expire, so hip hop can move on.
happy bday. you didn't call me back, so i'm assuming you're alive. gimme that rilo kiley cd.
happy bday. yo, i'm moving to san jose november first, i'll hit you up when i'm out there pan in hand. and i've never tried surfing but i'm almost certain i'll be better than you at it when i arrive--you know, because of my island blood.
