In Memory Of Guru

Rest In Peace to Keith Elam aka Guru, One half of Gang Starr.

Found out today, around noon-ish from a text message I got from Enrique. The moment I read it, my goosebumps jumped up. I found out about his heart attack a few months ago and heard that he was going to recover from it so hearing that he passed away today was a complete surprise.

Can't hustle the hustler

Jay-Z walking around greenwich village, outside bar pitti, not buying candy boy's hustle. Jay is just starring him down, right hand in a clinch, ready to knock him out and take all his M&M's

(his $37,000 Audemars Piguet watch is BALLIN!!!!! smh though at his ugly Prps jeans.)


Jay-Z already told us...........

" sell ice in the winter, I sell fire in hell.
I am a hustler baby, I'll sell water to a well."

Knowing that, candy boy should have figured that you cant hustle the hustler.

cmon kid, you should of just shook the mans hand and maybe get an autograph, other than that I would be more than satisfied to have a candid photo of me talking to jay-z.

p.s. stop getting high of your own supply and eating you own M&M's.

philosophy test # 2

just had my second exam today and i think i did alright. a few questions were tricky but didnt really have to guess that much.

got tested mainly on artificail intellegence, mind vs. brain, fatalism, determinism and fuctionalism and the works of Fodor, Lycan, Searle and Dreyfus.

For my essay part, i wrote about Lycan's article on "the civil rights of robots"
i think it was the easiest one to right about and was also the easiest to identify. Found out Freddy and Eimeeh also chose the same essay and most likely so did the rest of the class.

after the test, i went with vargas, hazel maria and rochelle to dollar dumplings, quickly's and pork bun place. I had to buy 11 orders of dollar dumplings to take back to hunter after.

when i got to hunter to drop of the dumpings, it was time for me to go to sociology. i was just so tired and mentally drained that i left and just went home an napped from 4-10 ish. There was no point for me to go to class if i was just going to fall asleep and not focus.

Now time to stress on microbiology test #2 on monday. yay.

accidental multicultural sandwich

didnt know what to eat for dinner so i decided to just make a torta sandwich.

torta is pretty much a filipino omelette made up of mainly ground meat, seasonings and raisins.
for most of my life, i would pick out the raisins but recently i learned to just ignore it and be accepting of it.

the recipe........
I ran outta mayo and didnt want to have a dry sandwich so I spreaded some hummus on my toasted baguette
then added the torta
added some salsa verde and chunky salsa i got from burrito box yesterday
more torta
finished it off with top part of the baguette also lined with hummus.

half way into the sandwich i realized, i had an international sandwich. kinda like the united nations of all sandwiches.
Baguette - france
Hummus- middle eastern
Torta- Filipino
Salsa verde/ chunky salsa- mexico/ central american

it was a really good sandwich but i think it gave me a stomach ache. what made is worse is after the sandwich i decided to wash it down with cold lemonade.

try it yourself.

song of the day
dope smiths song i always hear at work.

close call

after the microbiology lecture today, i met up with carmen to grab lunch and try out burrito box at 57th and 9th.

my steak burrito and carmen's grilled chicken quesadilla was mad good. she didnt rele like the char/ smoke taste but i think its what made the chicken better. a plus was the unlimited free chips and salsa. holla!!!!

while we were eating, some black guy with a "hi hater" shirt came in holding an empty bottle of cheap deli wine. then he ordered his food and while waiting he went outside to gut out his blunt while he talked to his female friend.

he came back into the place to get his food and sat down behind me to roll a blunt. a couple minutes later, a cop walks in and my lunch experience just got even more interesting. the cop was like 2 feet away from mr. concentrated blunt roller but mr. police officer didnt notice cuz his fat ass was to busy focusing on the menu. then blunt boy's homegirl outside yells "rob!!"

Rob looks up at his homegirl and notices the cop and suspiciously covers his open blunt with his bag of food and runs off as he drops little pieces of weed. The cop looked up and found it weird and ignored it and went on with his day.

in the end, everyone was happy.............
Cop got his burrito.
Blunt boy got drunk off of deli wine, got away from cops. got high and ate mexican food.
Me and carmen got full and had a good laugh.
