Obsessed (the movie) (some spoilers)

BIRTHDAY SHOUT OUTS!!!!!!
happy bday to my niggas Ling and Franklin.

So Carmen and I went to the movies to see Obsessed and she paid for me :) Obsessed is that new movie with that white chick from Hero's (not hayden panettiere) and Beyonce.
We snuck in a chipotle chicken burrito, extra sour cream, chips and bottle of coke. HOLLA!

synopsis
The movie is about some psycho white bitch who was all over a black guy who was Beyonce's man. I knew I was gonna get a good laugh out of it no matter how serious it was. Beyonce played a stay at home mom, while her husband had a psycho obsessive co-worker on his ass. Beyonce bounced on her man, got back with him after she understood that she was dealing with some psycho bitch, and then she pulled a Shanaynay on her white ass.

opinion
The movie was actually not as bad as i thought it would be. This was definitly better than all the past few movies ive seen- Street Fighter, Adventureland, DragonBall (from dad's bootleg dvd stash).

audience participation
What made the movie 10x better was that the audience was like 90%black. I love black people, they know how to have fun, let loose and just bug the fuck out.

so some black lady got so into it when beyonce found out her child was missing. it was like she caught the holy ghost at church or something. She started throwing her hands in the air, jumping out her seat and yelling.....

"OHHHH MAHH GAUDDDD!!!!! I DONT BAH LEAVE THIS!!!"

not only that but she said it for about a minute striaght!!! hahahahahaha
then...when beyonce was fuckin up the white chick from Hero's she started yelling and chanting.

"GRAB HUH BAH THE NECK AND FUCK HUH UP!!!!! FUCK HUH UP!!!!!"

then the whole audience started buggin out and screaming while the lady chanted.
The whole audience was laughing with this lady but then she started getting a little annoying so they started yelling "shutup!"
In the end of the movie, the lady apologiesed to the whole audience yelling "sorry audience, i just get so crazy!" hahaha

after the movie we bumped into Anthony(koston) and Julz. we found out we were watching the same movie. all of us agreed that the lady was the highlight of the night.

randomness of the day

  • Freakishly and coincedently, while watching Obsessed i get a text message from some chick who was one of my customers. At first i thought she was a secret shopper cuz she had a clipboard so i decided to approach her and be a good salesman. after getting to know her, i found out the clipboard was for a survey and so i just filled it out for an act of kindness. Then the next day i get a text message. replied twice and then ignored her.
  • Then about a month later in like february, she text me "hey there"........i ignored her.
  • a week later she text me saying "good morning!"......ignored her once again
  • then about 2 months later, (today) she text me while watching Obsessed saying "hey whats goin on?"
  • she prolly thought "wanting to get to know her" salesman technique was flirting. SMH lol silly.
  • im not an asshole though, i do like talking to my customers, it keeps my job interesting and getting to know people but also at the sametime im trying to get them to become comfortable with me so i can help them buy stuff.

song of the day
i been hype to see nas for the past week so here's another nas masterpiece.
dope song, co-written and produced by eminem.
crazy flow, lyrics and beat by the 2 masters themselves.

Ninong = Godfather

so on sunday, i became a ninong. my cousin chose me to become the godfather of Joseph Christopher Vilardo, her 7 month old son. I feel very honored.

Brunch at the Irish Inn (maryland)
Before the baptism, we got brunch at an Irish restaurant with the Irish half of the family.
i had a salad as my appitizer, shepherds pie as my entree and Guinness coffee ice cream for dessert. My dad got the Donegal Omelet (an omelet stuffed with cheddar and shepherds pie). my mom got the fish and chips which had Guinness in the batter.

My shephers pie was great. Ive only had shepherds pie only a few times but this is the best ive had so far. The fish and chips was good but i couldnt taste the guinness in the fish's coating. The guinness coffee ice cream was interesting and delicious.
lol irish people just love their guinness.

Baptism
so we ended brunch at 12:50 and the baptism appointment with the priest was at 1. it takes about 10 minutes to get there, so we had no room for error. The plan was my cousin would drive there and my dad would just tag along. The plan went good until we got cut off by the red light and my cousins car just disappeared into the distance. I asked my dad to call her but he only had her house number. at this time i knew we were fucked. we drove straight hoping to see a church, we found a couple random ones but we didnt see our cousins navy car parked outside. I told my mom i should call carmen to google the number for me but she said "no thats useless." after another 5 minutes of driving around to nowhere i called carmen and in less than a minute she found the number.
i was afraid of missing the baptism because dressing up would of been useless. Finally at 1:25 we pulled up to the church and caught the last 10 minutes.

dope song with a little james brown flava. r.i.p.

butteryass chillin days

work was really busy. easter weekend is the biggest retail day of the year. on saturday, sold over $3,100 by myself.


one kid was buyin mad tees and a couple hoodies. his pile kept growing by the register. he was buying so much, i decided to throw in a couple other shirts in his size he didnt know about cuz he wouldnt notice anyways. lol
In the end, his dad came to the register and payed for everything without even looking thru the pile. the boy was happy with all his new clothes and i was happy cuz my sale became bigger than it was suppose to be.


yesterday and today
pretty much the same, cept yesterday was nice and t-shirt weather and today was cold and drizzley.
the routine......
wake up at 1, chill, go to chris' or alex's house, skate, watch movies/ random documentaries, watch youtube videos, go on the berrics and rewatch old butteryass monday clips, play street fighter 4, paint alex's wall, listen to music, drink new castles, talk to shorty on the phone, watch jimmy kimmel live and a couple youtube videos while on phone, sleep.

New
"butteryass monday" video of the week. uploaded yesterday

"some chick pulls a shanaynay oh her ass" hahaha


the recession diet - eat at home= more $ when necessary.
by not really goin out i been saving a lot of money

  • breakfast- milk and cheerios, then a banana.
  • lunch- usually make a turkey or ham with cheese on a roll with lettuce, tomato and spicy mayo. then washing it down with
  • drink- orange juice + selzer + lemon juice + a little suger to balance out the lemon juice= homemade orangina!!!! holla
  • snack- sunflower seeds or a banana.
  • dinner- either another sandwich, same as lunch or w/e the parents cooked.

GOOD NEWS!

recently on facebook, i been finding a lot of my old friends from my elementary catholic school ICS. i havent seen or talked to them since i left and that was around 1997. im surprised a lot of them remember me considering the fact that i left in the beginning of third grade, didnt graduate with them or keep in touch.

randomness of the day

  • chris' sister went elementary school with some murderer that just threw a guy off a roof, then went downstairs and stabed him to make sure hes dead. SMH x 15.
  • didnt even know the Dragonball Z movie came out already.
  • Superbad > Adventureland
  • White castle burgers > Burger king burger shots
  • some music video i found on youtube a couple months ago by NASA.
    mad random/ randomly funny/ educational


song of the day

Died in your arms to night + Jay-Z x mixing = DOPE

Food to eat after lent is over

only about 2 more days of lent left.

For lent i gave up unhealthy fast food chains.
so i cant eat McDonalds, wendy's, burger king, popeye's and etc. but i could still eat subways and chipotle.
also for lent i cant eat meat on fridays.

there were a few times where i fucked up, but s'all good tho. all the mistakes were by accident because i unconsciously freeloaded off of someone's fast food.

check list of food to eat after lent
  • Burger king burger shots (to see what the hype is all about)
  • Food at Jollybee
  • Eat popeye’s spicy chicken sandwich
  • At popeyes again, 3 piece spicy chicken, fries with ranch, mash and biscuit.
  • White castle jalopeno cheese burgers with zesty sauce on the side
  • Chicken McNuggets with fries
  • hooters hot wings
  • Atomic wings and waffle fries with cheese and gravy

not goin complete the whole check list in one day but its just things i been lookin forward to.
i am also looking forward to eating meat again on fridays. (no homo)

randomness of the day

  • I went to some cuban/chinese joint on 14th st and 7th ave and all the workers were spanish speaking chinks. its not that they just learned spanish, they all moved from cuba, where there's some little chinese community there.
    While ordering i just kept laughing cuz it was mad wierd. i felt a little ignorant.
    The workers there were the most amazing culture-crossing thing aside from Matisyahu.
  • if you dont know who Matisyahu is for some reason here's a video clip.


song of the day

some song i hear at work randomly that i like.
