Things I've Learned 2005
  • Beer that comes in a 30 pack isn't worth drinking.
  • People that shout "Get in the hole" at golf events most likely have never played the sport.
  • Panda bears appear to be hiding something.
  • Attractive looks are only a miniscule portion of attraction.
  • Success comes not without its fair share of pain and suffering.
  • Christmas lights are a viable alternative to your illumination needs.
  • Patriotism appears to come equipped with large amounts of ignorance.
  • News is something that someone somewhere doesn't want you to know, everything else is advertising.
  • Stop blaming hurricane Katrina, it was the shoddy masonry on the levies that caused the city under the sea.
  • After years of ignorant disdain, I now understand the value of conditioner.
  • Monitor your drinking habits for at least 2 hours before going to see a movie.
  • Don't feel pressured. There is always a better deal, it's a matter of how hard you look.
  • Moderation.
  • Whatever happened to Jingles?

Winter Woes
For far too long winter has eroded away the end of fall and beginning of spring. Overtaking my two favorite seasons, winter has made an enemy of me today.

On what was to be a leisurely walk to the bank, I was relegated to walking in the streets because of a torrential snow storm that happened 4 days ago causing the sidewalks to be unusable. The owners of these walkways are lazy and surely some of my hatred should be directed at them for their lack of responsibility to clean up their own damned walkway.

But, I still fully hate winter. It's fall for another week and a half, and in the most eloquent web lingo I can muster - I exclaim "WTF."

My freshly washed pants were wetted then muddied as I traipsed through the gutter area of the street narrowly avoiding getting flattened by wifey's urban assault vehicle.

How can I already be sick of a season that hasn't even started yet?

And all the while I hear on the news that we're fighting Global Warming. Fighting it. Damn, I'll be there to welcome it with open arms, a flower necklace and a margarita, when does it's flight get in?

"What'd he say?" "He said you an asshole!"
Richard Pryor is dead at the age of 65. Pryor's comedy, inspiring yet sometimes caustic, had reached me at a rather young age. I'd seen "See No Evil, Hear No Evil" far sooner than the MPAA rating said I should've. And, let's not forget the biting political and social satire "The Toy." Where Pryor was esentially purchased to be a rich man's child's play thing.

Pryor was ailing from multiple sclerosis, and from anyone who had seen him in the past 5 years or so knew that he wasn't doing well. It's not a shock that he's passed, it's just a shame to see such a smart humorist leave us so soon. But, as they say: "Stars that burn twice as bright, burn for half as long."

Pryor was not one for the standard black humor of racial comparisons. He broke away from the all too common "You see, white people go like this, 'dee dee dee daa' and black people you know we go like this, 'doo doo doo dun.' Ain't I right, Ain't I right?!" style of humor that was and is often still prevalent in black humor, I'm looking in your direction Cedric the Entertainer.

What's all this, then?
Major Changes, my friends. I've launched that little talked about but much rumored site. ChazSpot.Net. It's a simple self promotional website and as I try to get employed it'll make showing my video shit much easier. It also helps for me to archive all my stuff in a place far less prone to total system meltdowns, which I've had two of in the past 4 months. I lost a lot of good stuff of mine, and hopefully this will be a better system of archive.

So enjoy my various things on this site. I would especially reccomend checking out The Boat episodes in the audio download section. They're all pretty hilarious, and if you don't find them funny I'm sure you're in the vast majority of Americans who "just don't get it."
