Lil' Wayne:
He's easily my favorite individual performer, and it's not even close. I heard him on a remix of "Turn my Swag on" (a song I kind of like for some reason) and remembered how I wanted to write about my man crush on him. He's behind only Andre 3000 as my favorite lyricist (see these examples for why he is my favorite: 1 - 2). Lil' Wayne's sense of humor and obnoxiousness are what make him great (see the lyric "I'm in the bathroom takin me a rich nigga shit" from the song in the first link). He also has one of my all time favorite lines :"I'm richer than Nicole and I'm a Lion like her Daddy." Great lines aside, he also does things like make rock albums, write ESPN columns, and do hilarious interviews with GQ. He's a guy who I'm pretty sure won't be around for too much longer, so I hope I get a chance to see him live soon.
Sam Cooke:
I never knew who he was, but I listened to some of his stuff on Rolling Stone's top 100 singers page, and he is amazing. I'm actually thinking about breaking my streak of not paying for mp3s. One of his greatest hits cds has 30 songs on it for less than $10, so I think I might pull the trigger. He has a voice that makes you stop whatever you're doing and ask who's singing.
Sorry this post is lacking in sarcasm up to this point, I'll see what I can do from here on out...
Microwaves:
The microwave at our house broke last week. This wouldn't be a big deal if 2/3s of my meals weren't made in it with the other 1/3 being cereal. Thankfully frozen pizzas exist.
Pizza:
Just a few brief things on the subject. Isn't Red Baron a strange name for a frozen pizza line? I haven't done much research on the subject, but it seems weird to me that they chose to name a line of food after a fighter pilot. Also, I know this may be sacreligious considering my proximity to Chicago, but putting ranch on low quality pizza is amazing. I learned this in Missouri (where all the pizza is low quality, at best) and have continued to do so ever since with desireable results.
Dave from FOTC:
I decided that of any character in any show he has the funniest lines to time on screen ratio by a long shot. My all time favorite character is Gob" from Arrested Development because Will Arnett was born to play that role, but he is on screen so much that some of his lines supplement the other characters in the show and he is not the focus all the time. Dave played by Arj Barker (a decent stand up comedian) says something hilarious almost every time he speaks. Some of my favorite lines:
"I think you gotta use honesty here. I mean, you know it’s always the best policy, like the other day there was five, well maybe it was like four, really hot foreign chicks. They were like Swedish or Korean in my shop and they were like “Dave, we want to have a five way with you”. And I just told them “Honestly? Ok”. And then I just gave it to them hard, and that’s the best way to go. Then after that they’re like “Dave, will you marry us?” and I was like “Excuse me, but I don’t think monogamy is legal in this country, I dunno where you’re from”. You gotta try honesty, it works the best."
"Women love that sensitive nautical shit. Haven't you ever seen Watership Down? Neither have I."
"No, that is super sensitive. I mean, that reminds me of when I saw a puppy being born. I mean, just to see it's little head just coming out of that dog's pussy... what an incredible moment, man. Beautiful."
"Here in the U.S. rivalries between rappers usually end up with death - or worse."
