WORD ON THE STREET: I have received requests to bring back the ever
popular cult legend of Word On The Street back to life. For those who are unfamiliar
with the legendary Word On The Street, it was a daily thing I created in French
class back in 11th grade. At first they were insulting one-liners to people
in class who set themselves up and gradually grew into stories and comics. In
fact, this week's Word On The Street takes us way back to late 1998, when I
began 12th grade. In englsh class, we had an assignment to do on descriptive
writing. So "Word On The Street presents Descriptive Writing at it's best".
I actually handed this in and got an A but not before volunteering to read it
out loud to the whole class. This piece was so amazing that the one and only
Jitesh Vagh noted on the bottom of my paper "This story is ill yo, for
real" and then signed his name beside it. CLICK HERE

GREAT MOMENTS IN SPORTS HISTORY: Great moments in sports history continued for everyone this week. Finally, I have managed to beat Graham in a best of three series of one-on-one. With a higher hoop and no homecourt advantage and cracks in the driveway to deal with, I won 2 games to 1 and won the deciding match in rather convincing fashion. I was a king for a day.
Also, I went golfing with Jory and Jeff and we had a three way skins match.
I won the first two holes and all looked good but then things began to fall
apart. In the end, Jory won 14 holes including 11 in a row, Jeff won 2 and I
won 2. After that, I took another crushing defeat losing 11-9 in a game of one-on-one
with Jeff in basketball. I blame it on the slick and gripless ball. I also blame
the ball for not going in all the time.
The return of basketball came on wednesday. I went with Jeff to his school's gym and we played. First we played a game of 3 on 3 while we waited for our teams turn at full court. That proved to be a brisk warmup and I was ready for the bigtime. When the big game rolled around, it was cool. We lost but Jeff and I could've done some serious damage except for two circumstances. We were the unknowns on our team so we didn't get the ball unless we took it ourselves...every man for himself sometimes. Secondly, we weren't even on the floor at the same time. Otherwise, we would've murdered the competition. After the full court, we returned to our practice court for a game of 2 on 2. I started off well and Jeff finished the other team off almost singlehandedly down the stretch. It was a beautiful thing.
Finally, on saturday afternoon, Graham and I went to Playdium. What happened was probably one of the greatest accomplishments in sports history. We were taking turns playing SuperShot basketball where you get 60 seconds to get as many points as possible, with each basket being worth 2 points. The last 10 seconds, baskets are worth 3 points. Graham obliterated the old record of 87 points with an unreal 105 points. I don't think that record could ever be touched. Triple digit scores in that game are as rare as a clean public bathroom. Congratulations Graham!
SALMON AWARD IS BACK!!!: Good to see lots of you answering the bell
for the salmon award after my rant. This week's lucky winner is Erin Baker.
Erin is now crowned "Super Ugmo Deluxe". Yeah!!!
A CHALLENGE TO BRAD PITT, AN OFFER TO JENNIFER ANISTON: Darcy has asked me to drop a proposition to Jennifer Aniston, and as a result, a challenge to Brad Pitt. Jennifer, if you are reading this, here are Darcy's exact words:
"A proposition to Jennifer Aniston regarding my undying love for her. I offer to her the bloody corpse of anybody she desires. If she so insists, I will battle Brad Pitt to the bloody, gruesome death in a pit of rabid geckos. Or perhaps a test of manhood - slamming our genitals in the automated doors of an elevator. It must be a heavy-duty elevator though. The first one to lose consciousness loses Jennifer, his testicular motivation and ofcourse any ensuing manhood. Perhaps the loser should also be drenched in the soothing apparel of a leper's urine, for purification"
Be afraid, Brad, be very afraid. If you value the woman by your side like you
should, you will take this challenge. Darce, I'm behind you 100%...go get 'em,
cowboy!
NFL PLAYOFFS: A sad sad day last sunday. Not only did my Minnesota Vikings lose and kill their chance at winning the Superbowl this year, but they got absolutely spanked. They lost 1-0 to the New York Giants. That is the biggest margin of defeat in NFL playoff history. They couldn't even manage one damn field goal. How is that possible with the offence they have that they couldn't generate enough yards for one field goal. I'm not even gonna touch the subject of them giving up 41 points because that speaks for itself. I hope the Giants suffer a miserable and embarassing defeat in the Superbowl.
On a sidenote, I think someone should answer the bell and throw a superbowl party. No matter who it is, I'll be glad to come and join the fun.
ALBUM UPDATE: The tide is beginning to turn in the creation process
of my album. Last week I mentioned having two songs chosen. Well, I have added
yet another song to the mix, boosting the total to three. Things are beginning
to click better and I am beginning to form a better idea of the overall feel
of this album. More news to come in future issues and the message boards.
O-TOWN ALBUM
COMING THIS TUESDAY: I admit that I am a big fan of O-Town and I watched
every episode of Making The Band. It is more out of genuine interest and less
out of general curiousity that I await their album which comes out January 23rd.
I do however find it incredibly cheesy that they have a trading card of one
of the members that comes with each cd of their new single "Liquid Dreams".
Either way, I think it would be interesting to see how well they do with the
huge hype machine and platform of being made stars before they sang one note
in the studio.

OPERATION GROW THE 'FRO CONTINUES: The 'Fro is becoming more and more
appealing to me as each day passes. It is now showing it's all around versatility.
As expected, the morning 'fro looks amazing in all it's soft and fluffy glory.
Conversely, it manages to look killer as well when styled, should the occasion
arise. I am debating on whether I should cut the sides soon because I am getting
that annoying part of hair that you don't know whether it should go straight
down just in front of your ear or tucked behind the back of the ear. It's problem
is that either side, it looks like a lone wolf amongst the tight-knit family
of hair. If you any ideas, I would appreciate any feedback or advice regarding
this matter.
MY BIRTHDAY, PART 1: Thursday was my 20th (I say Twenteenth) birthday. I was showered with as many people saying "Wow, you're old" as people who said the good ole' "Happy Birthday". I also heard scary things like "time to get your life together, huh?" and "well, now you're a man". It didn't help that family uttered these words either. Anyways, on to the good stuff. I went out for dinner and a movie and it was cool. But yeah, back to the movie, I saw Castaway. It was pretty long (a bit over 2 hours) but it was really good. Not so good that you don't notice how long it is, like Gladiator, but it was good. Other than that, my birthday was a relatively quiet day spent watching the Food Network and dribbling the basketball. Overwhelming fun, I tell ya.
If you're wondering why there is a picture of a Mitsubishi Eclipse above, it's because I was hoping to wake up to seeing one in the car port with a banner saying something like "Happy Birthday, Bobby!". It didn't happen though.
MY BIRTHDAY, PART 2: Saturday night was the night of celebrations. A few of us went to Tyler's house before we went out to get our pre-drink on and I was having tremendous difficulty choking down some evil mixture of juice and alcohol that tasted like medicine I didn't need. However, I overcame that stumbling block when we got to the club and everyone got me nice and hammered to make up for last year's sorry display. It was good to see a lot of people I don't see too often come and wish me a happy birthday and make my night lots of fun. Thank you to all of you who came cuz I had a blast.
After the club, Ryan, Mike, Graham and I went to Plaza of Nations to see if we could get into a rave. I was fairly lost in this whole thing cuz I was still feeling the alcohol and I am not too familiar with the whole rave thing since I am not much of a raver myself. Anyways, Mike tried to work his magic touch and hook us up but the lady who had an excellent chance to pull some gangster tricks for us was not feeling our mojo so our vibe was ruined. After much deliberation, we finally decided it was a lost cause and went home. I was very wet from standing in the rain in a short sleeve shirt. Regardless, I can still say that even that experience was fun for me.
On a final sidenote, thanks to Ryan and Andrew for driving and being good sports about it. You guys deserve a star!
Although I truly expected nothing from my parents for my birthday, I actually got some gifts. I got a cool card and a happy birthday balloon, along with a sweatshirt and jeans. Not too bad of a haul. They also renewed my subscription to "Farm Animals And You" magazine. Just kidding...honest.
I also got two scratch and win tickets and I won 10 bucks on one and 2 on the other. I swear I have a gift for these things. I have won on the last five I've been given.
Thank you to everyone helping fulfill the prophecy of the almighty pyramid scheme. Things are rounding up nicely and I am getting more and more new members all the time. Yeah!!!
Thank you to everyone who sent a card in the email to me for my birthday. I liked them all. However, one person sent me this insane card. The person listed their name as Buford "Bubba" Rogers. Basically, this person is making me appear as his (or her) prison lover. I have a pretty good idea who this Bubba is, so fess up. This isn't the first time they have terrorized me either. Someone wrote a comment in my photo album going somewhere along the lines of a prison shower and dropping soap. The gory details aren't really neccesary. Rest assured I am on to you.
