Random Ramblings...

Well this is my piss-poor inaugural column at Masscore. I have nothing really to write about so I plan to fill this with ramblings about things that are currently going through my head. In the future, I plan I hope to have a subject to write a full article about but if I don't I'll just ramble on for a couple of paragraphs just for me own damn amusement.

A lot of people say the local news and the newspapers are a sad constant reminder of the negative side of our society. I see it as a huge source of humor. C'mon, the front page of the Boston Herald the other day read "What's the Russia?" The article was about a Russian woman who ran down a cop at detour. According to the article, she was yelling, "I don't care who [expletive] died, I'm more important." Take a minute reread that, let it sink in, Ok now the kicker, she pleaded Not Guilty. WHAT? She ran over a cop, on what grounds could she be innocent? I'm thinking about buying the movie rights, as I type this. So moral of the story, if you need humor follow the news... or hang out with an [expletive] important Russian chick. Either way you're set.

Useless fact of the day: Since the show 'Top Model' debuted on UPN, the 18-34 demographic has increased 91% percent. Apparently "Girlfriends" and "The Parkers" aren't scoring high ratings with their "I'd rather have AIDS than watch UPN" Monday night Line-up.

In the "So how was the theatre, Mrs. Lincoln" section, I ran into a friend of my older brothers and congratulated him on the news that he and his wife were going to have a baby. Well, apparently she had a miscarriage. **INSERT AWKWARD SILENCE** Serves me right for trying to make small talk with people and show that I actually care about their lives when obviously I'm too self-centered.

A lot of people may not realize, but my musical tastes are not strictly limited to hardcore/metal. For example this weekend, I went to the Rock the Mic tour featuring Fabolous, Busta Rhymes, Missy Elliot, America's favorite rapper who got shot in the face 9 times 50 Cent, and Jay-Z at the Tweeter Center. Here are the numbers for the show:

5: Number of artists who performed
2. Number of artists who performed before I got inside the venue
1. Total number of songs played through its entirety (*side note: it was a song by special guest Beyonce Knowles)
7. Number of fights that I saw
4. Number of towels my drunken girlfriend conned the Ebay guys to give us.
0. Number of Blowjobs my drunken girlfriend had to give to Ebay guys to get us free towels.
1. Total music videos played during a live concert set ("Many Men" by 50 Cent)
5,936. Number of times 50 Cent said G-G-G-G Unit
23. Total number of times someone gave love to a deceased rapper (B.I.G., Tupac, Aaliyah, Big Pun, Jam Master Jay, etc.)
2. Total Number of "Yankees Suck" chants

Well that's all I can think to write about for now. So send me feedback at as to how much I suck or how to properly cook a quiche.
Peace Out.
