high school graduation season begins

Getting out of school for the summer is the best feeling in the world, am i right? And then one day you get to the end of school…and graduate.

I had a 103 temp during graduation. My family went out without me afterward to celebrate.

Its fuckin sick, but the best part about the whole thing is that everyone of your friends has a graduation party coming up. Some of them are the ones where you just have to make an appearance to be nice, make a turkey and cheese sandwich with mayo pickles and lettuce or 5 at the deli meat display, grab a coke from the cooler at the end of the table, eat and talk/congratulate then move on to someone else’s much more fun party for the day. Other parties you stay longer, enjoy the company, pull up a chair and make this your parking spot for an entire saturday. The parties dont stop  because you have so much ground to cover. You gotta see the kids you graduated with, the kids you barely know but your parents insist you come to anyways, random kids just because your friends are going and you don’t wanna miss out, a friend of a friends party, the list goes onn. The summer after senior year is all about these glorious graduation parties…and spending the money you get from having yours.

Every party has a pretty similar routine. The food doesnt usually deviate from some sort of combination from the following

• chicken ziti broccoli
• lasagna(some sort of italian homemade thing in a tinfoil container that i can never pronounce so i always call it lasagna to save time but in the end this actually took more time)
• deli meat assortment and rolls
• salad bar
• wings
• burgers and dogs
• and there has got to be potato salad.

Without potato salad there is no party, turn around and go home if you go to the table and there is no potato salad because the hosts are clearly out of their minds. You’re kid is probably going to fail out of college if there is no potato salad at his grad party. If your party strays from that list of items good job, you have established yourself as and individual and people will remember that unless the food tastes like garbage.

The best parties are pool parties. Unless that pool party has shitty weather because then its all improv from there. Some hosts will salvage it and still throw a banger but sometimes people throw in the towel and make it a low key affair…fuck that, go all out son.  Pool parties are the best for 2 reasons:1. because theres a pool and 2. theres probably gonna be girls in bathing suits.

I’m not done ranting about grad parties…but i’m gonna stop here for this installment

Weezy line: “Man, I got Summer hating on me cause I’m hotter than the sun
Got Spring hating on me cause I ain’t never sprung
Winter hating on me cause I’m colder than ya’ll
And I would never, I would never, I would never Fall” –Mr. Carter ft. Jay-Z from Tha Carter III

Most people don’t know shit about roast beef sangies

A roast beef sandwich may or may not be the greatest thing ever put on the face of god’s green earth. For those of you people unfortunate enough to live outside the north shore area of massachusetts, I will learn you on what the hell a roast beef sangwich really is: billys or beachmont. Those are about your only choices. Granted, other places sell them, and they are also delicious from such restaurants as Royal, Kelly’s, Kipo’s, Greg’s (grant reminded me about Old Greg earlier), Simard’s, and others, they ain’t shit if it isn’t from Billy’s Famous Roast Beef on the Wakefield/Melrose line or Beachmont Roastbeef in Revere. Kelly’s is a different story from all of them, because going there is an experience but I practically never order a roast beef (corned beef or a cheeseburger with cheesefries son).

As Macca described his experience one time, “Eating a beef is 80% mental and 40% physical.” God only knows why he would say something rediculous like that but it wasn’t even him talking it was the beef. It overtakes your entire body and when you sink your teeth into the soft bread over mayo, cheese, tangy bbq sauce, soft warm roast beast, and then the other side of the bun, you also sink into a state of nirvana for .04 seconds…its a proven fact.

The examples of idiocy on behalf of the beef don’t end with Macca, TRMD even said,”the sauce is like a red carpet for the beef” one time before he dove into the first bite of his Beachmont 3-way beef. By the way there are only 2 ways you can order a roast beef, 3-way and extra 3-way, which consist of cheese, mayo, and sauce. The crown jewel of all our trips was when TRMD came up with the idea to get a small order of chicken fingers and each of us put one on top of our beefs…it was insane, almost illegal. We haven’t done it since because the taste still resonates in our mouths over a year later.

If this sounds like a bunch of rediculous nonsense then you probably don’t live in the area and you don’t know how good a roast beef sandwich can be. I’m not talkin about Arby’s or shit you get from a deli, I’m talking about roast mother fuckin beef sangys.

Beef.

Celtic’s make it reign on them hoes

I want to start this the way Bob Ryan finished his article today:

“131-92 That’s a score you’ll never, ever forget”

Went in to Kitty O’Sheas for game 6 of the NBA finals last night. Usually, I like to watch basketball by myself or surrounded by a select few friends only if they actually know whats going on in the game. Most of the time girls aren’t allowed cuz they ask too many damn questions. I decided to waive my rules last night and go to the bar because it was goddamn game 6 and the celts were inevitably going to win the championship.

It was rediculous. From what I remember (which is not that much) there were cops in riot gear lining the streets starting in the 3rd quarter. Then I also vaguely remember the guys in green winning by like 40 points or some shit like that. But most importantly I remember screaming “Fuck LA” in the bar, in the streets, on the train.Then some kid on the train started yappin about Everett high football, I don’t know how we got on the subject but that kid got sonned pretty hard by everyone present. Yeah, thats like the extent of my memory from last night.

Now I’m at work, hungover as shit, and I’m miserable. My stomach has finally settled enough to be able to get a coffee, I might go do that.

Pierce MVP, and he fuckin deserves that shit.

Paul KG and Doc with the trophy.Take it in. Take it aalllll in.

Rondo talked about last night’s experience on his blog.

“All the photos, the interviews, the madness in the locker room and it still hasn’t really sunk in yet. But I do know we’re a part of history. We just added a banner to the rafters!!”

I’ve got chills, I really do.

We are the champions. Again.

MTV Jams still plays music videos

Author’s note: So apparently that video doesn’t work. Oh well go to youtube and find another.

Me, sly, macca, and b-macs were chillin on G-wood st checkin out the new Verizon fios channels when we came across a Weezy video marathon. It was the day before the release of Tha Carter III so it got us all in the mood to go out and buy it, b-macs was the only one who actually did tho cuz he’s old and actually supports artists pff.

Every once in a while i’ll throw on mtv jams just because they play music videos but it was funny to see all these Lil Wayne ones i’ve never seen. People still spend butt loads of money to make videos and they don’t even make it to TRL (thats still on the air right?) I think people just make the videos for youtube now, but mtv jams plays them and its great.

here’s a little piece of the action:

Thank you Showtime

So last night was the season premiere of Weeds on Showtime. We all were discussing where the family would end up after last season’s finale entitled “Go!” when they had to up and leave because of the California wildfires that consumed their home (with some help from Nancy who wasted about $112 worth of gas to ensure the engulfing). I was hoping that Nance and the gang would wind up in Mexico because of the conversation about “trafficking” that she had with her bandito friends. Turns out that she does visit the border, where one of the best lines from the episode happened:

Nancy: “Why don’t you just tie the drugs to the birds and have them fly over the border?”
Hector [defeated]: “We tried that with pigeons…they can’t carry too much weight.”

Furthermore, I am positive that Kevin Nealon was authentically high during his scene in the DEA office.

Ok, enough about weeds (I can’t believe i just said that). I wanna talk about what followed the show. We always finish an episode and say, “motherfucker, i wish that was longer than a half hour” and showtime knows whats up. They decided to give us a show about a prostitute and she bangs all the time and shes hot and it was a pretty sick first episode…Secret Diary of a Call Girl, genius.

The thing about these shows is that they portray women as successful. But it also shows that women have to resort to unconventional means to be successful, like selling things, hence their new slogan is “Its a business doing pleasure with you”

Thanks Showtime.

Beep Beep

Remember when it was new and cool technology to have a device with a 1in x 1/4 in screen that could display a 10 digit code entered from a touch tone telephone. At one point in my life I insisted on having a beeper so bad that it took over every dreamI had over a 2 year stretch. This one time I was being chased by a telephone all across the united states and it was all because I stole a beeper from a guy dressed as Ronald McDonald. Most of the time my dreams don’t make sense…but anyone can see that this one made perfect sense and its moral was this: I needed a beeper.

The idea of a beeper seems so stupid to us now considering the regular use of cell phones and text messaging but at the time it was the height of technology. There was even a time where you had to have two separate devices to call someone (cellular telephone) or text message (an ancient device known as the “two way” pager).

I found this hilarious NY Times article from 1998 about beepers, jump in that time machine and have a looksee. I dunno I just started rambling about this and figured i’d throw it on the blog…leave comments.
