She goooood

Good grunts too!!

This is the essence of watching motor memory being built, before your very eyes, by the second.

"Muscle memory is a common term for neuromuscular facilitation, which is the process of the neuromuscular system memorizing motor skills. "

"......When an active person repeatedly trains movement, often of the same activity, in an effort to stimulate the mind’s adaptation process, the outcome is to induce physiological changes which attain increased levels of accuracy through repetition. Even though the process is really brain-muscle memory or motor memory, the colloquial expression "muscle memory" is commonly used. "

Oldies..."you aint amphibian so grab a hold of yourself"

FEAST!!!!!!! [snickers]

This cracks me up. The concept is not entirely original but I enjoy the acting and some of the guys have great comedic timing.

The life of a cab dispatcher

http://blanktop.blogspot.com/
This is a good blog. The guy is a dispatcher for a cab company and some of his stories are hilarious.
Here is an example of one I found particularly enjoyable.
_________________________________________________________________

ME: Blank Top, your phone number please?
GUY: No I don't need a cab, I left a green backpack in one of your cabs Saturday night, and they said to call today and ask for lost and found.
ME: Sure, hold on a sec.

I transfer him. A few minutes later. . .

ME: Blank Top, your phone number please?
GUY: I'm the guy who left the bag in one of your taxis last Friday, but don't transfer me to lost and found again, nobody is picking up the phone there, so I want to talk to you, okay?
ME: Okay.
GUY: Now is there any way to find out if anybody turned in a bag?
ME: I wouldn't know, you'd need to talk to lost and found.
GUY: Why is nobody answering the phone there?
ME: Seeing as how it's after five they've probably gone home. Just leave a message and they'll get back to you, or call tomorrow during regular business hours.
GUY: Shit . . . Let me ask you something: if a driver finds a bag, will they open it and look in it? Or will your lost and found people open it?
ME: I guess, maybe. Maybe to see if there's anything in it that they can use to figure out who the bag belongs to, like a business card or something.
GUY: So they always do that?
ME: I don't know.
GUY: Okay, I need to leave STRICT instructions that if anybody turns in a green backpack with black trim, under no circumstances should it be opened, okay?
ME: . . . I wouldn't even know how or where to place a request like that.
GUY: I'm serious, if anybody opens this bag I will take it as an invasion of privacy and I'll sue.
ME: Look, I have no idea how I would even pass that along, alright? You can leave a message at lost and found if you want but . . .
GUY: (interrupting) I am letting YOU know RIGHT NOW that ANY SEARCH of that bag will be ILLEGAL, DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!
ME: . . . Face it buddy, they're gone.
GUY: WHAT'S GONE?!
ME: Your drugs. Let them go man. They're gone.
GUY: WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT DRUGS?!
ME: Well I'm GUESSING drugs based on your wild paranoia about anybody opening the bag, and your talk of "illegal searches", not to mention your irrational anger, but I guess it could be lots of things; drugs, guns, pictures of naked twelve year olds. . . to be honest I can't WAIT to find out what it is!
GUY: YOU PEOPLE HAVE NO RIGHT TO GO LOOKING THROUGH OTHER PEOPLE'S PRIVATE PROPERTY!!!
ME: Hey, we're just trying to reunite bag with owner. You're the one who left a bag full drugs, guns, and pictures of naked twelve year olds in his taxi. Shoot, a fella could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff.
GUY: . . . . . . . . . .
ME: I don't suppose you'd give me your name and address to make the cop's job easier would you?
GUY: (hangs up)

As usual, if this does get turned in and it's anything interesting I'll update.

Parting Ways - Lubbock Texas 2000

The Roots - Whistler BC July 19, 2008.

So this weekend the 215 played in Whistler BC on top of Blackcomb mountain. One week prior I had gone to Vegas to catch them performing at the Hard Rock. Due to some unfortunate extreme donky'ness I wound up missing the first 45 minutes of the show. It is something I will never forgive myself for. Anyway, 7 days later I had the opportunity to redeem myself and made sure to be ready for the start of this show. I always enjoy the creative ways that they start and this one was perhaps one of the best I've seen so far.

So without further adieu. The Deuce Stick and Dynamite!!
Thanks for the video (Nico&Eme)

Common - Gladiator

Here is a good underground Common clip. I'm not sure the details on this show (City, Venue, etc) but I do know I dig the song and it's called Gladiator. It looks like he's just standing in the middle of a bar with a microphone. They don't even have a stage in there....

The power of music without words

More good tunes to give an ear to

This will be a tasty treat

I like the way he says "He'll NEVER know you're gone." You can tell that he changed the inflection in his voice to mimick that of an angry child. It's perfect. It sounds like he says "newwer" instead of never
