Sometimes I find it difficult to listen to albums straight through. Too frequently the radio will out play an song and when I listen to it Im just so tired of hearing it that I just skip over to the next track. 

I don't care how many times I have heard "Bulls on Parade" or "People of The Sun" or any song on this Rage Against the Machine album. I will never get tired of hearing this album. It is flawless.  Everything works well on this album. The lyrics, Zach De La Rocha's vocal, Tom Morello's guitar riffs, everything that this album is made of is perfect and fits so well together.

The movement that Rage recieved through this album was tremendous. They had a cult esque following.

I can't find the words to describe the feeling of this album but it certainly an album that belongs in everyones album collection.

Today the Mets formally introduced there newest addition to there squad, Johan Santana. He has been an absolute beast through out his career. In his 7 years in the MLB he has pitches 251 Games. In those games he has recorded 93 wins and only 44 losses while also recording and astonishing 1,381 strike outs.

Santana is going to be exactly what the Mets have been looking for. I was scared when they got rid of Miledge and did not use him as a token to get some kind of pitcher. After trading up a handful of prospects the Mets have really made out well on this deal. Of course ti will cost us a lot but hopefully he can live up to his expectations and help the squad avoid another historic late season collapse, as I shed tears.

The Mets rotation will consist of: Santana, Pedro, Maine, Perez, El Duque, and Pelfrey

Pending all of these guys stay healthy and live up to expectations the Mets will have the best rotation in the NL East, also becoming the favorites to win the Division.

Between the Santana signing and New York Giants I don't know how much sports glory I can be blessed with.

Just a few weeks until Pitchers and Catchers.I' am really looking forward to this up coming season.

Like My Squad Just Won The Superbowl!!

Ghostface just released the video for his song 'We Celebrate' off of his recently released album, Big Doe Rehab. Real happy about this video, this song is easily one of my favorites off of the album. It is one of the best feel good joint I have heard in a while, the type of song that makes you wanna 'party and bullshit'. but then zoom back down to reality, where the hell is the time to do that. At least I can accomplish that feeling by hearing this song and now watching the video.

The Giants definitely need to adopt this song for there recent win, and plus it would be a good look for Ghost. It's a shame that he doesn't get the props that he deserves when he has released classic Hip Hop albums in the past with 'Fishscale' and 'Supreme Clientele'. This album was not to shabby either and has earned it way into my recent weekly rotation of music.

New Tri-Tone Bape Sta

Very Few, and by very few I mean enough to count on 1 hand with with and amputated finger, Bape Stas have ever caught my interest. The patent leather and obnoxious colors have always made me throw up in my mouth. I never fell into all the hype surrounding them either, which was not my attempt to act as if I was in some kind of protest. For the most part, I have always enjoyed subtle colorways on my kicks and every so often I will throw on a pair of Air Maxes or somehting Non Jordan that might stand out but its very rare.

I must give Nigo a nice golf clap for this spring release. All four of these sneakers are not screaming out at you and are extremely presentable. The Tri color idea really appeals to me because I would rather match my clothing than look like I just came out of a circus wearing 15 different colors, which is one of the reason why I never messed with any Bape Stas in the past. Thank god that they did not use any type of patent leather on these, it would have completely ruined the shoes to me. I have seen way too much patent leather within the past 2 years than I can handle. Plus if they would have added patent to this it would have completely took away from the subtleness of these sneakers.

They are currently available at the Bape Store in SoHo right now, $190 retail.

Giant Upset

It seems as if every sportscaster across the Nation chose the Patriots to win over the Giants, I think not. Tom Brady recently laughed at the fact that Plaxico Burress predicted that the Pats' would only score 17 points, jokes on you Tom.

The anticipation for this game had been building within me for weeks now and I felt extremely confident for my favorite team. When the two teams met in the last week of the NFL season 5 weeks go the Giants gave the Pats' a real run for there money, so I knew the could hang with the "Big Boys".

As the game progressed I was worried, the Giants defense was making huge stops and the offense couldn't turn those opportunities into crucial points. You have to understand that when you stop a team like the Patriots, you must take advantage of it.

The game became so intense in the fourth quarter as Eli was able to take his offense to go ahead 10-7, with a David Tyree touchdown. Things heated up as the Patriots took possession and put together a 5 minuet drive to but the Patriots back ahead 14-10.

To me, what people where about to witness was Eli Mannings introduction to greatness. It took ELi 12 plays and 2 minuets and 7 seconds to bring the Giants into the end-zone with a catch by Plaxico Buress to put the Giants up 17 to 14. In my opinion, the play that stood out the most was the play where Eli was about to be wrapped up and sacked for a loss but was able to escape and throw a bullet to David Tyree where Tyree made a miraculous catch for an important Giants first down. Leaving the Pats with 35 seconds left the Giants defense was able to put a hault to the game by absolutely demolishing the Patriots offense, including a huge sack on Tom Brand...oh it felt so good.

After the game I was speechless I didn't know how to react or what to do. The sweetest part about it though is ruining a perfect season and making Bill Belichick look like a fool.
