The Ghetto Valentine’s Post

ahh yes . . . ya’ll are probably expecting me write another b&m (bitch and moan) blog on this most despised days for us single folk, but i’m not. ^^ today was actually a good day . . . cause i went to go see this:

haha yes, i went to go see it on opening night. go ahead and make fun, but i love stupid dance movies (stomp the yard, save the last dance, etc) . . . but this one had an exceptionally lame plot and bad writing. and it was a freaking cesspool of ethnic and cultural distortion. the main character was this little white girl who kept on insisting how “street” she was, AND there was a f.o.b. japanese girl thrown in the mix for comic relief. AAND the asian guy was introduced as the “techie”. they were both great dancers . . . but their characters certainly aren’t going to help combat the impotent nerd + perpetual foreigner image. AAAND the black characters were either “thug-ed out” or docile submissives. check out this post that i came across for a little more . . . jon chu – wft man?!?! i’m disappointed in you.

::done ranting:: the dance scenes were actually pretty sweet. man, i wish i could dance like that. maybe i should start taking hip-hop dance lessons . . . hmmm . . . and shhhhh, don’t tell anyone, but i’ve been secretly watching america’s best dance crew online . . . shhh . . .

continuing with our ghetto-fab post … here’s a video from baaack in the day. motown philly . . . ah yes. see that geno’s cheese steak in the back? yep, i’ve been there. quick trivia: did you know that the “authentic” way to get your cheese steak is with cheesewhiz???

and forgive my ignorance. but i just very recently realized: “abc bbd” stands for “another bad creation” and “bell biv devo”. i’m so lame . . . poison!

aaand the ghetto valentine’s day post continues! here’s a part of an email i got from sprint, giving me some text messaging ideas for someone special . . .

it’s the standard fare . . . QT314, BMINE . . . all until you get to the fourth one: LNWG … last night was great???!!! hahaha ahh … we are indeed a simple nation. but i’ll admit, i wouldn’t mind having isaac hayes whisper some sweet nothings to me right about now.

and now, i’m finishing the night sipping my hot water and listening to boyz II men. i’m doing just fine. not a bad valentine’s day . . . not a bad one at all.

peace,
chris
