Since he's been so good about flying solo with the blog over the past couple of weeks, I think it's only fair that I present him with post to celebrate his hard work. Since it's Valen-time's Day, I figured I'd put together his dream playlist. Maybe he and Mrs. Big Ran can bump this in their house the next time they have a nice meal together. Enjoy Big Ran, you deserve it:
Just a little ditty, highlighted one of his favorite band's sensitive side
I know that Big Ran would love to meet Creed with his "Arms Wide Open"
We all know about his affinity for Daughtry (esp when he does Gaga covers)
He doesn't talk too much about Jimmy Buffet on the blog, but that doesn't mean he's not Super Fan 1.
The most appropriate song for the playlist when the title is considered. Even I, super fan 1, will admit that this is not their best song.
When we were in high school, I was admittedly obsessed with Boyz II Men. Big Ran was known to toss out the quote, "I will always love Boyz II Men", in a woman's voice, to make fun of me. Well B.R. these Boyz
are for you!
We all know that Adam LeVine is a hero of Big Ran's

Stuck In My Head
Can someone please help me get this song out of my head? It's been on replay for about 48 hours now....just in time for Valen-time's Day....
I watch this video and I laugh nervously and uncontrollably. I don't care HOW desperate you are to break into the industry, this video would NOT be the place to start. Look at these two clowns. I LOVE their dancing/snapping routine featured throughout- that is clearly the most amusing part- they are totally into it. That being said, I would never want any of them near me.
It's probably going to be stuck in your head now too, but it's only fair since I can't get it to leave mine!
Side note: has anyone ever seen the MTV "Cribs" episode featuring this pair? If not, I suggest you watch it in all of it's glory immediately. The house isn't theirs, AND if I remember correctly, everything in it is from Wal-Mart/KMART, Wal-Mart/KMART. Awesome. At least they're budget conscious.
Notice at the very beginning of the clip, when it lists information about the house....it states that they have an office. Really? An office? A meth lab, maybe....a greenhouse to grow their chronic, definitely....an office....doubtful....at best. Also, "What your name is?"....great way to ask a question. Can you be verbally dyslexic? I know you can be dyslexic as far as reading is concerned, but not sure about the speaking thing. I also love their coordinating outfits. Wondering if those were purchased as Wally World as well.
The monosyllabic grunts and moans are almost more than I can take at some points, but I continue to find the humor. Did you know as long as you have a fish tank, you can call the room a "Sea Room"??
3:25 through the 4 minute mark is almost more than I can deal with. Pay attention to the noises....how is this even happening? And how is it that these guys are millionaires while Big Ran and I slave away?

Irrational Rant....No Talent Ass Clown
Experts say Nicki Minaj could lose fans from Grammy performance; singer couldn't care less
Nicki Minaj has a message for critics of her controversial, Catholicism-inspired Grammy performance on Sunday night: “Stay offended. Not a single F**K is given,” she said via Twitter on Monday, in the aftermath of her widely-panned song-and-dance routine.
Alrighty then!
In an attempt to be “edgy,” Minaj performed
“Roman Holiday,” a track from her forthcoming album, complete with a
self-exorcism, burning flames and gibberish. However, some experts are
now predicting that the overall negative reaction to her moment in the
spotlight could seriously hurt album sales.
Nicki Minaj was clearly aiming for shock value and mass PR, and she succeeded. With big ideas and shock value comes big opportunity, but also backlash," Ronn Torossian, CEO of 5WPR told FOX411’s Pop Tarts column. "She has to be aware of possible alienation from some of current fans, who take religion and spiritually seriously."
Last month, Minaj announced via Twitter
that her sophomore album, “Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded,” would not be
coming out April 3, although it was initially slated for a Valentine’s
Day release. In another blow to Minaj, last week BET banned her music
video for another track on the album entitled “Stupid Hoe,” with the
unofficial reason being it wasn’t a good fit for television.
Minaj’s religious-mocking Grammy performance
not only annoyed critics, audience members and an abundance of Twitter
followers, it understandably rubbed some Catholics the wrong way.
“There are Catholic priests who are trained
to perform exorcisms, and it seems plain that the time has come for
Nicki Minaj to make an appointment,” President of the Catholic League of
America, Bill Donohue, told us. “Even worse than Minaj is The Recording
Academy that runs the Grammys: they knew exactly what she was going to
do and gave her the green light. I've never heard of a collective
exorcism, but there is a first time for everything.”
Dan Gainor, VP of Business & Culture at the Media Research Center, also took aim at the rap star and Grammy officials.
"Bashing Catholics is 'in,' and Nicki Minaj
and the Grammy’s pulled out all the stops – making fun of the Sacrament
of confession, mocking exorcism and using the Catholic Church
as background for a bizarre musical number,” he said. “The performance
highlighted a man dressed as a priest and even included a snippet of
Minaj singing “O Come All Ye Faithful,” mixed in with heavy doses of
sex.”
The Recording Academy, CBS and a rep for Minaj did not respond to a request for comment.
KC's notes:
So, I've been saying that Nicki Minaj is a complete no talent ass clown for a while and it seems like people are finally starting to catch on. The more people I talk to, the more people I hear say that they can't stand her. My question relates to the title of the article copied in above....she COULD lose FANS? How can she lose was she doesn't really have?

How can she lose was she doesn't really have?
I think she's completely obnoxious, her voice makes me want to punch babies, and I have no idea how anyone can listen to her. The Grammys was the final nail in the coffin for many people, but I was already there. Even TMZ was stating that she needs to stop trying to be the black Lady Gaga.
Lady Gaga can sing her ass off, can write music, play instruments, and would be popular whether she dressed like a librarian or a peacock. Her flash has no impact on her talent or popularity. Minaj relies on shock value because she has NOTHING else. She has gone so far as to mention that she is better than Lil' Kim. REALLY? I mean, Lil' Kim was rough, completely inappropriate, and ghetto, but she could rap and put on one hell of a show (yes, I saw her at the "No Way Out" Tour with Puff Daddy and the family back in college).

This 'thing' can do NOTHING except wear flourescent wigs (which Kim did first anyway). I am a better rapper than her. Her 15 minutes cannot be up soon enough. She is a waste of space and her existence offends me.
Keep trying Nicki......the clock is ticking and I can't wait for the sand to run out of the hourglass....
Over/Under on Kim calling the request line to dedicate MC's song to Nicki? The title is all you need to hear/see.... |

Lunchtime Look-A-Like
I'm posting this tonight because I've been slacking on the blog for weeks due to my 'real' job taking over my life. I didn't want to make our adoring public wait any longer, and I'm feeling guilty that Big Ran's had to pull all the weight lately.
I'm a reality TV junkie (to a point!), and one of my favorites is "Braxton Family Values"--which chronicles Toni Braxton, her sisters, mother and all of their baggage. They regularly meet with their family therapist, "Dr. Sherry". I think she MIGHT be Jay-Z in women's clothing- but the verdict is still out on that. You be the judge:
It's times like this that the phrase, "handsome woman" would be appropriate- because she surely isn't pretty, and I'm trying to look on the bright side. And, like Jay-Z, she's got 99 problems (but unlike Jay, the Braxton sisters ARE some!).....

Wow, So I Feel Like a Jerk
So, I was on facebook earlier today and I see a pic that someone posted of a little girl in a Valentine's Day Dress. I look to see who it is and it was posted by the wife of one of my college roommates. We lived together for two years, junior and senior year. We were at each other's weddings and see eachother once a year now because he lives in a different part of the country. Well, I knew that his wife had a baby about a year and a half ago. So I am looking at the pic and assuming it was their niece or something. Nope. It's their kid. I swear to god, I thought they had two boys. So I rush to check out other pics, look at her profile pic and yup, definitely one boy and one girl. And this is not a girl that looks like a boy at all. Tons of pink clothing.
So, on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the worst, how bad of a friend am I? I had no idea that they had a girl. I mean, I think we got birth announcements, Christmas cards, and everything. This has to rate out to like a 9, right? I can't wait to ask my wife if she knew they had a boy and a girl. Guaranteed she knew and that will push me to a 10 on that scale.
This has to be on the list of worst videos ever made by a legitimate band. Stock footage of 80s water parks and clubs? Plus, look at these guys. Holy sh!t. This is really something. I have no idea what to say.

Can a Straight Dude Wish Another Straight Dude "Happy Valentine's Day" Without It Being Weird?
So, about two minutes ago, I get an e-mail from a client. At the end of the e-mail, he signs off with "Happy V-Day." I have met this guy before. Twice. He's married and has kids, I'm married. I have absolutely nothing against the gay community, I feel very comfortable with someone who is gay. However, isn't it weird for a guy to wish another guy "Happy Valentine's Day" regardless of sexual orientation? I think it's really weird. We're not talking about New Years, Thanksgiving, or Christmas. We're talkin' bout Valentine's Day (Allen Iverson voice).
I just thought that was weird and I'm not going to respond to it. I'm going to pretend it didn't happen.

The Love That Could Have Been
With more than 170 million album and single sales worldwide, deceased pop legend Whitney Houston -- who died Saturday in her Beverly Hills hotel room at the age of 48 -- had more than a few fans. So it shouldn't be surprising that there would be a few bad apples in the bunch.
Such as, oh, terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden.

Somehow lost in the nonstop Whitney Houston coverage since her demise is the fact that bin Laden was a rabid follower of the "I Will Always Love You" songbird -- at least according to poet and activist Kola Boof, who reportedly lived with the 9/11 orchestrator for several months on a Moroccan estate in 1996.

In her memoir "Diary of a Lost Girl: The Autobiography of Kola Boof" -- which was excerpted by Harper's Bazaar in 2006 -- Boof recalls Bin Laden's fervor for Houston.

"He said that he had a paramount desire for Whitney Houston, and although he claimed music was evil he spoke of someday spending vast amounts of money to go to America and try to arrange a meeting with the superstar," Boof wrote. "It didn't seem impossible to me. He said he wanted to give Whitney Houston a mansion that he owned in a suburb of Khartoum. He explained to me that to possess Whitney he would be willing to break his colour rule and make her one of his wives."

Of course, Houston was already married, to Bobby Brown, but bin Laden had a plan to take care of that, too -- he would simply have Brown rubbed out.
"Whitney Houston's name was the one that would be mention constantly. How beautiful she was, what a nice smile she has, how truly Islamic she is but is just brainwashed by American culture and by her husband Bobby Brown, whom Osama talked about having killed, as if it were normal to have women's husbands killed," Boof revealed.
Art one point, bin Laden went into a rage about Boof's braided hair, because -- yep -- Whitney Houston would never wear her locks like that.
"Osama said only monkeys braid their hair. He told me that the singer Whitney Houston was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen and that she never wore her hair braided," Poof recalled. "'I want you to fix your hair like hers from now on,' he said. 'I can't put my fingers through it when it's braided.'”
Houston was found submerged in the bathtub of her Beverly Hilton hotel room by a member of her personal staff at approximately 3:30 p.m. on Saturday. Emergency responders arrived on the scene to find an unconscious and unresponsive Houston and unsuccessfully attempted to resuscitate her, a Beverly Hills Police Department spokesman said Monday. The singer was pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m.
I have a legitimate question...
Who would have been worse for Whitney? Bobby Brown, who destroyed her career, got her addicted to drugs, and ultimately led to her death, or Osama Bin Laden, who would her given her a mansion in the suburbs (and maybe still orchestrated 9/11). Tough to say right? I mean, he was willing to cross his color barrier for her AND kill Bobby Brown. That's dedication right there. Now, granted, there's tons of opium and heroin that would have been easily accessible for Whitney, but at the same time, maybe she makes Bin Laden happy and he doesn't get a bee in his bonnet about the US. I mean, she did have one of, if not the best, performance of the Star Spangled Banner of all time, so it's possible that she could have swayed him. Ultimately, the more I think about it, is Bobby Brown at fault for 9/11 AND Whitney's death? Did I also just insult the entire country? Possibly "Yes" on both.
Wow. That really gives me something to think about.
-Big Ran
PS: This blog was #666 for us. Kind of eerie how it was about Bin Laden, huh? Bro ain't getting 72 virgins, that's for sure.
PPS: Wouldn't you rather have 72 sluts than 72 virgins, anyway? I would. WAY less drama and crying.
Happy VD from Heidi Watney!
I just to say this: If you work within earshot of KC, just listen for her while this video is playing in her cube. I can virtually guarantee that this will put her in a terrible mood because she hates Heidi Watney with a fiery passion rarely seen.
I don't like her either, never did, and I can't exactly put my finger on why that is exactly. She just seems to be the stereotypical bimbo sideline reporter, with the added bonus of her boning a bunch of the players. That's some serious journalistic integrity right there. Anyway, on to the pics from the night.
 |
| I will give Watney this, I wouldn't want to hang out with a dude in a turquoise t-shirt and a scarf no matter what was given to charity. |
 |
| This woman on the left went for $650. That's a deal and a half compared to $5,500 for Watney. Also, you could Dre the hell out of her dress (also known as a shark attack). |
The last pic is of Heidi and the gentleman that won the auction for $5,500. That's a lot of cake to hang out with a broad. I guess since it's for charity, my theory of spending less money for a really high class call girl wouldn't exactly translate. The date includes batting practice before a Sox game, dinner at Jerry Remy's, and seats right behind home plate. I would rather do all those things with my Dad, not Watney. I bet she's just going to yammer the ENTIRE time and use it as a chance to bang out some more players while she's in town.
Have fun with the Lakers, Heidi. Kobe's single now (not that that ever stopped him...or you).

Stuck In My Head - Valentime's Day Edition
I really dig this jam, but I hadn't seen the actual video until this morning, yet it is oddly appropriate for Valentime's Day, huh? Serendipitous or something to that effect. Mustache Man just traveling through time, looking for love, sharing his lip tickler with the ladies (and lady boys) and chubbs gets the girl at the end.
I woke up at 3:30 in the morning today with this stuck in my head. Here's my weird ass dream...
For some reason I was helping hippies plant some community garden or something, then was going back to their apartment to hang out. They were all environmentally conscious, but insisted on driving like douche bags and racing me back. They also drove a really old, beat up Ford Bronco. Like OJ style, but spewing exhaust everywhere. Then we got back to their pad and they told me to put on the radio and this song came on, clear as a bell. Really friggin' weird.
I hope everyone enjoys their Valentime's Day and ladies, enjoy the lip tickler.
