"The Rumors Social Club!" -Let's Clears Thing Up A Bit Shall We?

Just the other day, a friend whispered to me that there was some weird rumor going around that the event THIS SUNDAY ("Holiday In") was at quote "Some small Irish pub" unquote. After holding my stomach and folding over with laughter, I answered "HELLLLL NO! You joking right?" It then dawned on me how LOST folks can sometimes be. Without simply asking the source (in this case a Block Association member such as myself), she wasn't gonna come out thinking it was true! We do 300 (! Spartan) plus parties, why would we do an event in a small as pub, let alone invite folks out (at $10 a tix) to one? ANYWAYS, I felt was my unofficial duty to make things officially known. So I'm posting some interior pics of what you should come to expect, if you plan on attending. So others like her are not blindly mislead. LOL it's all good, there's folk that didn't believe in Jesus too. LOL.

"Flashing Lights" -Paparazzi Pics (Pt.201)

I gotta say , I LOVE me some Brooklyn man! Between attending fight parties, backyard cook-outs, house parties and such. I feel like my Summer has ALREADY started! You know how Brooklyn gets down right? We can get a BBQ poppin' simply from one mass text, a few well placed phone calls, and an iPod for a DJ, G'damn it! Am I lying? Well anyways here's a few photos from some past joints I've attended that you may (or may not) have been present for (or even heard about for that matter) LOL! Quite as keep, between you and I, the Block Association is planning a good ol' fashion(able) "hooky" party in the VERY near future. What will happen is we'll check the forecast a few days in advance, see which day we'll be getting some SWEET temps, then secretly blast out (via text or private invite on Facebook) the day,the time and place exactly WHERE we'll all be meeting up to cut work and have a "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" type BBQ! How's that sounding to you? Btw, the last two pictures is EXACTLY why I DON'T do gatherings at my house anymore! N*66*s just be violating and going through ya cabinets and cupboards f**kin' with just random shit! You'll be finding s#*t like tampons (unused I hope) in the freezer for no good reason, days after the damn party! Cold blooded! Stuff like doo-doo on your curtains and thangs...That's just WRONG bro!

"You Better Shrekognize!" -Shrek Final Review

First off let me say I'm a big fan of the Shrek series! I think the creativity and attention to details that the Dreamworks team puts into each film is on a level par none. It's one of those rare computer animated film that you really question "Is it REALLY for the kids?" Simply because the jokes are a bit mature. And unless your 3-5 yr old is a well-read scholar in the writing and works of EVERY fairy tale EVER written, I'm not sure they'll FULLY appreciate the inside joke humor! So with that being said, let me get back to the film at hand, which is "the Final Chapter" (yeah right!) in the Shrek run. To begin with, I bought the tickets a day in advance to avoid the Sat. "nanny and baby mamma matinee" rush that you know the opening weekend of a rated G movie can bring. So all that I needed to do was show up, get my cool 3D glasses, and sit my ass down somewhere. Honestly I'm starting to be over the whole 3D trend right about now, but I had a feeling that this movie would do it justice...and did it! From the first opening scene, you can tell that their intent was for this to be in 3D in the first place, and not just jumping on the bandwagon last minute to rake in a few extra bucks. Or it least I think they didn't (lol). Whatever the case, it worked. What also worked was the pacing of the film. The story about how married life for Shrek was wearing him thin, didn't drag on. The main characters and plot was set up so you can jump right in, while being respectful to the story of the last 3 before this one. The ONLY problem(s ) I did have was that the film's villain "Rumplelambskin" sorry..."Rumplestilskin" was (to me, in my opinion) EXACTLY the same villain character ("Syndrome") from the Incredibles movie! Height, voice similarities, (red) hair and all! Mine you, I love both characters, but I'm just pointing it out. And the only OTHER problem I had wasn't with the movie itself per se'. It was the fact that to the left of me seated was some freakin' "man-boy" oooo-ing and ah-ing and cackling loudly at EVERYTHING that came on the screen! UNF**KIN' believable dude! Is this your first time EVER watching a 3D movie and s**t?!? Or a f**kin' movie PERIOD?!!? Sheesh louise! The louder he laughed, the LOUDER I laughed, but he never caught on. Then to top things off to the right of me was some 10 yr. old kid SNORING like a man twice his age! Then was pissed, when his dad finally woke him up as the credits was rolling! Kid, you're pissed? Yeah? Well we were too! Your pops shoulda woke that ass up a long time ago! I was thisclose to putting my popcorn bag over his head, and taking the charge! Leaving Shrek in handcuffs LOL! I'm giving this one 4 out of 5 M's!

"Brooklyn's a Hard Act To Swallow!"-Who Spike (Lee) 'd The Punch?

Say WORD! Now it's bad enough that Brooklyn is the largest consumer of Henny (Gray Goose, Patron, Red Stripe and Heiniken) NOW thanks to a collabo with Spike Lee, Absolut vodka is naming yet another (limited edition) alcoholic product after the world famous borough! Said to be flavored with notes of red apple (a homage to"the Big Apple") and ginger, priced nice at $24.99, bottles are to hit stores this week. And will be on shelves for about four months. When asked just HOW did this concept come about, Spike said "Honestly, I was upset and puzzled on how in the HELL these Tyler Perry movies keep becoming #1 at the box office all the damn time! So out of frustration I turned to the bottle, and that bottle was Absolut. I had an "A ha!" moment and got on the phone and made it happen! I came down to me & Jay (-Z) repping the brand for Brooklyn, but he's serious about that Ace of Spades stuff right now so..." Now friends whom I know that's tried it say "It has a unique taste, that quietly sneaks up on you, and grabs you by the throat. And makes you wanna give up your wallet, jewelery and your cell phone!" Or have told me "Yo! That s**t's STRONG yo! It'll have you pissing in a project staircase something serious SON!" Well...ummm...okay, THAT'S Brooklyn for ya, and I'll drink to that! Drink it responsibly. ESPECIALLY in Brooklyn!

Brooklyn, we go HARD! And that's exactly how we like our drinks! LOL!
