Happy Halloween + Happy New Years Eve

Posted on October 31, 2008 by phella| 3 Comments

Trick Or Treat
Happy Halloween to everyone out there (the above pic is the most orange I could find for you on such short notice). I’ve never been much of a halloween guy (never went trick or treating….ever). Might do it when I have kids.

Under The Weather Phella
*I was running around crazy this week with no jacket on plus worked out in the cold once. Those horrible choices led to the inevitable-a semi flu. So now I’m just in the crib going insane.
*I’ve listened to my entire playlist twice.
*Wrote pre-disses to rappers who I think might try to get at me when I “get on”, whatever that means.
*I’m reading emails and myspace messages from like April and wondering to myself why I said certain things.
*Speaking of why I said certain things, in my Nyquiled state last night I went on facebook and asked for a date from any woman in DC/MD/VA and some parts of West Virginia…..no one responded. So now I’m beefing with all my female facebook friends.
*Did a photoshoot yesterday…I hate those but its necessary for the “14 Month Year”. Took about two hours and the photographer had me out in the cold which didn’t help my semi flu at all.

14 Month Year
I decided not to wait for January 1 to make wholesale changes. So Novemeber 1st will be when my New Year begins. I’m turning everything up. Music, Talent Repping, Blogging, Wifey Search (phell o l) and everything else.

Not The Life Of The Party
The Party Life is calling me, like literally. My phone is ringing crazy with excited voices on the other end screaming “nigga we bout to get it poppin tonite” and “yo where we going for Halloween yo?”. Sorry folks, got a 14 month New Year to plan.

p.s. Stale candy givers should be thrown in jail.
p.s. I don’t have candy kids, so please let the old man sleep.
p.s. Do they still show the Charlie Brown Halloween Special?
p.s. The Halloween Episodes of Family Matters>The Halloween Episodes of Fresh Prince

We’re Gonna Rap It Like Its 1999….to 2003

Posted on October 24, 2008 by phella| Comments Off

Let me applaud Jadakiss, Fabolous and Juelz for rapping like its the 99-03 era again.

No slowed up Lil Wayne flow, no “i’m flyer than” talk, no taking two lines to explain your last punchline which wasn’t even that hot, no autotune. Just good old fashion spitting. Great job fellas.

Call Me An Old Head But….I’m Watching TV Again

Posted on September 6, 2008 by phella| 3 Comments

I literally haven’t watched Television in 2008. Too wack, too time consuming, too repetitive, too reality based etc……

Well all that came to a screeching hault this week. The idiot box was calling and calling me. Finally I turned it on and guess what I found? Good programming. If anyone has some recommendations send my way (I heard that Screenwriter show on Bravo was nice, might have to check it).

They’re bringing back all the greats, via re-runs or via spin offs.


Smart Guy on BET-This is one of my all time favorites. I think it only aired for like 2 or 3 seasons but this show was the business. Every 5:30pm after school I was glued.

90210 on the CW-I never really paid attention to the original. I was too young, but all my older cousins were obsessed. I feel them now. One episode into the season and I think I might be watching some more.

Living Single on TV One-Another classic. One of the few sitcoms besides Martin that actually made me laugh. Most of em I just watch for entertainment value, but this was a rib breaker.

Making The Band on MTV-I just like D Woods and Aubrey. Something about those two ladies. Puff is always gonna do or say something funny. And the dudes on here are comedy too….they’re way too dramatic and a lil “how you doing” sometimes. This new one will never compare to the seasons with Fred, Chopper, Babs and Ness but it’ll do.

*sidenote: Am I the only one who watched all the shows set in high schools and thought thats how it really would be? Only to go to school and its nowhere close to what you saw on tv, I still haven’t gotten over the dissapointment.

*sidenote 2:Watching TV shouldn’t cause productivity in any aspect of life to drop off…if anyone who knows me notices even the slightest slip up, please come and destroy my idiot box

Washed Up At 21?

Posted on September 1, 2008 by phella| 3 Comments

So I decided to make my basketball return yesterday. Not a big deal, except I decided to make it against the wrong person. A 90′s baby that spends his whole life playing, watching and dreaming basketball. Basically the same thing I did when I was a kid. Before stepping out there I should have put myself in his shoes…would a 17 or 18 yr old Phella let some 21 yr old old head challenge him??? Heck naw.

But without thinking I stepped onto the court and even made a few friendly wagers with the teenage beast. I figured I had coached this kid during the summer, I knew all of his strengths and weaknesses and could easily exploit them. I was wrong. He really has no weaknesses and I had plenty. The first game we played is going to be off the record forever, I made everyone swear to secrecy and we burned the footage. Here is the second game, peep my highlights around the 3:12 minute mark:

By the way, the kid in the video is Okalih (oh-ka-lee). He’s a high school phenom and also the younger brother to Sakwe of The Famous Firm. More of him in this vid:

P.S.A: Anyone reading and/or watching this who thinks that this is my real game is sadly mistaken. If you email me, make sure its about Famous Firm or music. Any inquiries to play me in basketball will be met with laughter and then an appoinment at the court of your choice for your whipping. PEACE
