another reason pirates are gangsta *potc2 spoiler*

So...pirates sing a song sometimes goes "yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!".

Gang members have similar wants and a similar vernaculcar, just varying accents.

Tupac is not dead, but the general consensus seems to be that he is. I'm not kidding.

Everybody thinks Jack Sparrow is dead. You know he isn't. (previous knowledge of the trilogy franchise notwithstanding)

You don't have to say it. I win.

Yeah, someone went and saw POTC2 tonight...(that's Pirates of the Carribean2 for you non abbreviated wankers) it was decent. There was a bizzare love triangle, complete with three-way swordfight. Kinky, right? And I really tried to ignore the blatant use ofthe compass as a metaphor for Jack's conscience. The script was alright, the swashbuckling helped delay the fact that the first one had way way way snappier dialogue. I easily ignored how pretty Olando Bloom is. How? I left him for a man approaching his mid 30s. I do believe it's the dashing chap below.

Commodore Norrington! Where have you been?!

All criticism aside, I'm pretty geeked for the next one.

Project Runway: season 3 started on wednesday. I did some math and came to the following conclusions:

Vincent = the new Danny Franco
Jeffery = the new Santino
That guy that won the first challenge = the new Zuelema
that one guy that read us all a bedtime story about the concept behind his dress = the new Nick

I wish there was a new Andrae, but its too soon to tell.

and now I have "Danny Franco, Where Did You Go?" in my head.

shit! I think loveline's on.

This thing I have for older white dudes has got to stop.

Another Wet Dream Brought to You by Genre-Fucking

two months until my birthday!

*splo00000oge*

*changing the sheets as we speak*

Yeah, buddy.

I never realized how much incestous genre fucking* there is. No, really. Here's what I've discovered in the past week (all thanks to www.pandora.com and listening to the classic rock station non stop):

1. "Cupid's Chokehold" by Gym Class Heroes = hook from "Breakfast in America" by Supertramp
2. "Lose Control" by Missy Elliott = sample from "Music Makes You Lose Control" by Les Rhythmes Digitales
3. "Guns and Roses" by Jay-Z = "Arco Arena" by Cake + words

there's more I just can't remember now.

I can't say I'd be shocked if I found out that "Ms. New Booty" by Bubba Sparxx was actually based on the hook from some Vivaldi joint....word.

*Genre Fucking (n., adj.): Abbreviated definition: when random genres and songs beome supercrossoverbest friends, i.e. Snoop Dogg taking the beat from "Enter Sandman" ((c) Metallica) and rapping over it. Actually that could happen, if not already. Imagine Snoop rapping over, say...the music from "The Pina Colada Song". Within the realm of genre fucking, anything can happen.
