Take Over Control!

So, it is Monday again.....time to get back into the trenches. After a relentless weekend of self inflicting abusive acts, my liver comes out on top again, but my mind is still very hazy. This song isn't your typical work week starter, but it gives you something to look forward to on friday. I have a fever and the only medicine is to rage!

P.S. Steele Reserve is a hell of a drug...

Coincidental Throwback!

I just found my old cell phone that was apparently lost on August 17th 2010, a moderate throwback. I had a few texts I never read, they are as follows:

Brit- Hope this doesn't wake you but 2 things...we have to get better at locking the doors the kitchen was not and also if you see jd today ask about the sewer bill

Dee Dee- Yo rihannas tatoo is backwards

Chedda- Yo

Chedda- $10 lobster

DJ Big Red- Are you alive today?

B*- Are we having a team dinner tonight? I have sausage and peppers for the house but not enough for the whole team?

Dee Dee- Hew homes hows the drive?

Tess- Yooosies going to walfart to get some shits need anything?

Diz- Going to walfart!!

Tess- 7:11pm msg: fwd: Yooosies going to walfart to get some shits need anything?

B*- I got sausage and peppers for dinner. Who is it you me brett kazu right?

Pop, Lock, & Grizzly

I sure am thirsty, but due to the lack of sleep and being hyped up on copious amounts of beaver tranquilizers I cannot indulge in Americas great past time--thirsty thursday. But, I can give you a recommendation to fill those gaps in your playlist (Justin Beiber/Creed/Cannibal Corpse). I know it seems as though mashups died out as soon as they were conceived, but much musical pleasure (eargasms as the hipsters call it) can still be discovered. For instance, this 'oldie but a goodie' doowop hit from the white panda. Sit back, relax, and let that luke-cool keystone light flow...

Slam Dunk

This past weekend was the NBA All-Star Weekend and one of my favorite events is the dunk competition. The dunk has evolved greatly over the past 40 years put perhaps the group of guys who developed the dunk most was the University of Houston's 1983 basketball team 'Phi Slama Jama'. This throwback is pretty old and before most of your time (myself included), but thanks to the miracle of EA's game 'NCAA March Madness 06', I am able to understand their dominance. These guys were the penultimate contributors to the dunk, second only to Dr. J. Here were a few guys from their line up:

Hakeem "Dream" Olajuwon (AKA Akeem "Jelly" Olajuwon)
Benny "Bomber from Bernice" Anders
Clyde "Glide" Drexler

Here is a throwback video of these guys at work.

Beard's Reply to Sweets' Reply

I think SB and Sweets pretty much hit the nail on its head but missed one of my favorite syndromes. Sweets talked about swollen ankles, a serious problem for people 40 years and older. Perhaps a more relevant 'swelling,' for those that do not remember Reagan's administration, are swollen, ashy, sausage fingers. Often times, after a night of drinking, I cannot pry my flip phone's screen from the keypad. I attribute this to drinking so much Steel Reserve that when people ask me what my ethnicity is, I reply 'Iron and Carbon'. But 40's of Steel Reserve are not the only culprit. We all know who is to blame, our Asian friend...not Kazu...Ramen, yes, a Mr. Ramen Noodle. The sodium content contained in these $0.31 treats are high enough to corrode 'Old Ironside' to a Kaschper single. The combination of both caustic materials have you barking the next morning as well as sobbing for mercy (Note: sobbing after a night of Steel Reserve and Ramen will produce no tears [because of the dehydration], but a hideous, haggard and homely face that not even your mother can love).

Purpose

Post any question...and we will answer it.

The Bull and the Bear

As I am sitting in the library studying for finance, I have realized one thing: I miss Kazu.

Kazu and myself would study together for every test, work together on practice and homework problems, and get through the nitty gritty of the world of "Intro to Finance, Fin 351." Like the Bull and the Bear to the wall street market, Kazu and Brit were a force to reckon with. We could find the present value, assess the net worth of a job offer, and find the mortgage payment on a theoretical house faster than anyone in the class, and often faster than even Google could spit out. Without each other, we were sunk. Alone, we weren't in the black, we were in the red. But together, green was all we could see!

It is for this reason that right now I miss him. My partner in crime, my Robin, my Barney Rubble, my Dr. Watson is not here. This leads me to ask, who is Batman without Robin, Fred Flinstone without Barney, Sherlock Holmes without Watson, and Brit without Kazu? I don't know if I can stay in the green without my sidekick so this is my plea to Kazu to come back to the dark side of finance. Together we succeed, alone...I will surely fail (this class).

Dave Matthews

Last night while preparing dinner, the topic of concerts came up. We were talking about how Dave Matthews Band said that they were going to "take three years off" but have instead had summer tours every year. Now, I know not all the readers out there have been to a Dave concert, but many of us in the house have, including Kazu. So when the topic of Dave concerts arose, I couldn't help but to laugh in remembering Kazu's review of the 2009 summer tour. To those of you who saw him that year, and to the readers who are considering seeing him in the future, I am here to provide you a 'special' review of Dave Matthews Band on tour, from our very own Kazu.

To give you a little more background, what I am about to tell you occurred in the study room on second floor of our residents hall when we first discussed the 2009 Dave concert. A few members of the 510 crew had gone to the show, and after the concert ended everyone returned home to the study lounge to finish up work, and hang out/discuss the concert. So of course the obvious question arose from the gathering audience: "So how was the concert?" A typical question would normally call for a typical response such as, "good" or "amazing" or even, "It brought me to tears, best concert ever!" But our good friend Kazu decided that those responses weren't good enough. No, instead he decided to speak from his heart replying, "It was so good that I was poopin' out my pee hole."...WHAT!?!...Yes, this was the review given and we are all still baffled by the meaning. So if you plan on seeing Dave in any of his upcoming tours, then I can assure you that if Kazu is right, you are all in for a very good time.

Midas Touch

DJ Sweets and I were contemplating about buying this beer for a while. This 2700 years old recipe came from a cup of King Midas' possible tomb. Midas Touch is a handcrafted ancient ale, and according to a Penn archaeologist's analysis, it is made with barley, white muscat grapes and saffron instead of hops. It has the taste of a lager, but the 9.0% abv this brew contains, gets it a little liquor-like, with a dry spice in the aftertaste.In the aroma, dry grapes and a little spice. In the taste, grapes. A spice bite and medium to light bodied mouthfeel. Quite spicy, and lots of fruitiness. Interesting. The price isn't an average Joe selection, but drinking this beer is an experience, and you should all try it!
