Its colder than a witch's tit outside. I've been wanting the chill to come through, but I'm not sure if

I wanted it this sudden. Looks like I'll be knocking the dust off of a few jackets. As for Maxwell, t-

he show was pretty good. I'd embarrass myself if I attempted to show off the pictures I took on my

iPhone. I wouldn't get away with it like I did at the Mos Def show. We were seated in the nose bl-

eed section, and 'Ol Girl forgot her digicam (again). The seats were actually good. Sitting high up

with the other El Cheapos wasn't as bad as I expected. I'll just be equipped with binoculars next

time. Mayor Hawthorne's show ended up being sold out, so it looks like I'll just be enjoying the G-

hostface Killah show. 'Ol Girl, be prepared to stand tall with the best of them! S-S-SHOTTA! - C/Z

Just a month ago I was excited about the Maxwell concert. Now, not so much. I wish I could just

stay home and not worry about traveling to NYC (2 hrs away), to see a show on a Monday night.

Waking up at 7:30 AM the next day is going to be torture. Speaking of concerts, I'll be checking

out Ghostface Killah this Saturday. I'll have a digicam this time around. I'm also trying to find a w-

ay to check out Mayor Hawthorne this Friday. I heard he was a better DJ than performer though.

People rarely leave comments, but if you've seen Mayor Hawthorne live, leave a comment! - C/Z

Thirsty Much?

Car dealerships are down right dirty. I took my car to the local Nissan dealership for an issue, and

I ended up getting an oil change in the process. While looking at my car to fix the issue, they fou-

nd more serious issues that need to be fixed pronto. Cool. Thank you for informing me about the

more serious issues. Uncool. To have overly priced estimates to fix the new issues. To get 1/2 of t-

he things needed to be fixed would be priced at $850-900. I happen to have a pretty damn good

mechanic that won't exploit me, that's going to only charge me $280-ish. That's a huge difference

in price. Be cautious of where you take your car. The car dealerships are of the devil. Really. No

wonder why the Nissan waiting area is so comfortable. They attempt to keep you as comfortable as

possible, for when they hit you over the head with their gassed prices. "Never jump the uzi..." - C/Z

Getting this backpack was probably the best decision I've made in a while. This bag works wond-

ers. I recommend picking one up for whoever is looking for a bag to invest in. The laptop sleeve doesn't give as much support as I'd like, but I have no real need for it. If you do have a need for the laptop sleeve, use a separate laptop sleeve, then use the sleeve included with the bag. - C/Z

Mos Def's "The Ecstatic" Tour

If you speak to me on a personal level or even follow me on Twitter you'd know I was going to at-

tend Mos Def's show in Philly. Mos Def smashed it! He's seriously a great performer. I was stan-

ding with the Mrs for more than 5 hrs (of course she was annoyed), but it was worth everything at

the end. I forgot my damn camera, so all I have is iPhone pictures, oh well. My weekend is still on

the roll. I'll blog about everything at a later time, probably on Sunday. Everyone stay safe. - C/Z

Rearranging w/ the Seasons (Update Info)

I finally got around to updating the blog. There are some things that should be explained and

informed as for the direction the blog will be going in. There won't be any major changes as for

the content that's featured, but sharing albums will be discontinued. I no longer have the desire

to. There MAY be a positive outcome from sharing albums though. There might be a slight cha-

nce I'll create a new blog only for music. This won't be a one person project; I'll be looking for c-

ontributors. If you happen to share a love for music, and you'd like to contribute to a good cau-

se, leave a comment and we'll talk further. This is just a thought, I'm not making any promises...

So no more albums will be featured on this blog. Refer back to older "For Ear Sake" posts, som-

e albums still have active links. "For Ear Sake" was fun, and also inspired others to share music.

As for this blog, I'm more on the busier side, and updating is sometimes a challenge. I'll attempt

to update the blog at least twice a week, so stay tuned, there will be new posts when you least

expect. I know it's been a while since things have been moving around here; I just needed a p-

ush to get things rolling again. I haven't quite gotten the push I need, but I'm working on it! - C/Z

Shogun Assassin 2

Lone wolf with a child..

This post has such a big connection with my last. People that watch good films know the connec-

tion. I decided to blog about "Inglorious Basterds" not because it was a good movie, but because

I'd like to know why everyone ranted and raved how good of a movie it was? If you happened to

see this film, please explain why you felt as though this was a must see, or any other opinions....

This past Labor Day weekend was kind of on the gloomy cloudy side (Saturday was pretty nice). I

knew rainy days were sure to come, but I wasn't ready to be informed of a full week of rain. Hope-

fully that isn't the case. Here's a preview of how the sky looked for the last few days. AHHHHHHH!

I've been neglectful to the blog but when a more important duty calls, you must acknowledge it.

Well I've been answering more important duties for a couple of weeks straight, so I've been really

out of the "blog loop." The most I do nowadays is update my Twitter. So if you actually have the

need or want to stay updated with me (for whatever reason), just follow me on Twitter. The only

reason I'm even able to update on Twitter, is because I have an app for it on my iPhone. I'm wa-

iting for a Blogger app to be created, so I can update as much as possible. I know I say it more

than enough, but I'm seriously going to at least try to post something new once a week. Hopefully

that happens. I've been running around with school, and other personal things. Does anyone e-

ven still stop by? I haven't even been keeping up with the blog counts. Leave me a comment!
