-GREAT weekend! Friday Katie, her friend Vic, Noel and I had dinner, talked shirts and then got drunk and sang some karaoke! My Mom was even there! Saturday saw Noel and I voyage to Toronto to visit our pals Ian and Caroline! We had some more drinks (sorry, liver!) and then sing more karaoke (sorry, throat!)
-Sunday Katie, my Mom and I went to Amanda's parents for Barb's birthday! Swims were swam, chickens were bbq'd (not to be confused with "grilled") and laughs were had - mostly because of my nephew, Michael. Anyone that has spent a second with me since Feb '09 knows I think the world of this little guy, and for good reason! His personality develops ten-fold everytime we hang, and I am simply in awe of how quickly he's growing up! Fresh off of his first hair-cut, Mikey was feeling good. He was feeling confident; so much so he decided to get his groove on next to m'lady! He was flirting with Katie all day and ended the night off with some kisses! Dude works quick, and there is no harm losing out to that little charmer!
-Got to briefly see some old friends, and see some current ones! Sucks we all can't hang as much as we can, but I'm understanding as some weeks whiz by, but that's how it goes!
-Sunday was also my favorite day of the summer: 7/11 day! FREE THUMB SIZED SLURPEES FOR ALL!
-I'm hooked on waffles. Especially those of the chocolate-chipped persuasion
-This weekend Katie is taking me to Toronto in celebration of my upcoming day o' birth, and has a super-top-secret day in store for yours-truly! Truthfully, it could just consist of taking me to get a burritto and I'd be more than happy - I just like being with Katie! Gaaawwww!
-Beatles never cease to amaze me. Always a fan! Picked up some records from the much-frequented library last week (Please, Please Me, White Album, Rubber Soul) All Awesome! PPM has made it's way into my top 5, sitting at #2, behind only What's The Story, Morning Glory by Oasis!
-But I am off to get some "work" done at work - fancy that, eh? Than go see my Mom, eat Mcd's and watch cartoons, laugh and spin with Michael!
But first, some of my current fave songs at the moment:
-Cinderella Man by Eminem (also Talkin' To Myself is great)
-Nobody's Accusing You (Of Having A Good Time) by Hot Hot Heat, who are playing in Hamilton this fall, consider me there!
-Got To Lose by Hollerado
-The Ulterior Motives by Staylefish
Dude, the new Eminem album is awesome! Cinderella Man is a sweet track, but my top 5 from the album are:
ReplyDelete1) No Love - The way Just Blaze flipped that SNL song was disgusting. I hate Lil Wayne, but he ripped that joint. Then Em came on and ripped it even more. I just love the way the song builds and builds to a crescendo. One of the most well put together tracks I've ever heard. Em's entire verse gave me goosebumps the first time I heard it.
2) 25 to Life - Great song about what fame.
3) Almost Famous - "I stuck my d**k in this game like a rapist, they call me Slim Roethlisberger" might be the hardest opening to a track since... I don't know when.
4) Untitled - Just straight up spittin'. Bar after bar, Em rips this Havoc beat.
5) Session One - An iTunes bonus track featuring my current favorite hip-hop collective Slaugherhouse. Joe Budden is missing (label BS prevented him from getting his bars in), but Just Blaze + Eminem + Slaugherhouse = Rap Gold!
Honourable Mention:
Cold Wind Blows
Talkin' to Myself
Space Bound
Cinderella Man
So Bad
Love the Way You Lie
Yeah, I know if you put mt top 5 with my HMs, it's basically the whole album, but I've had this on repeat since it leaked in early June (yes I did go out and cop the actual physical CD), and I'm still not tired of it. I think this will be the only thing I'll be listening to until Kayne's new album comes out in September.
