okay. through a suggestion from a few people. and after researching, i've decided that this will be my last entry...

...on blogspot.

i'm moving to wordpress , but i'll keep all of my previous entries. there's gonna be weird code in there somewhere tho. i'll fix that later.

and also because my ex girlfriend always told me to be more spontaneous. until that one time i shat on her pillow. now the bitch changes gears on me. nooooo i'm scared of shit!

what a fucking pussy.

man i really fucking suck.

so i've paid the cost for being a procrastinating sunuvabitch.
the cost = a seabag full of laundry i didn't bother to do on my day off.

this cold weather just makes me want to sit in the house and sleep. that's all i want to do. i don't even hit bars that much anymore (because i can't smoke in them). i'd rather cop a six pack and watch tv and drink at home.

now i have to be at work at one and i still have laundry to do. but guess what today is: MEAT DAY. so after work, i'm def not doing that shit.

sunday i work so maybe i can do it then.
no i'll be tired after work.
okay okay. i'm off monday. i promise.
at least i still have clean clothes to wear up until then.

i had a dream about my ex girlfriend last night. she showed me her tattoo and how big her titties got. it was a strange ass dream. i had to go back to the place we used to live so i could pick up some stuff. don't ask me why i had to pick it up 7 years after we break up. but i saw her and we talked.

awkwardly. even in my dreams, talks with her are awkward.

then she showed me her new tattoos (all butterflies) and bigger tits (naturally...new birth control).

then i said "what the fuck" out loud and woke myself up.

stay away from it.
it's on addison and kedzie.
i beg of you.
it's the 7th level of hell.
the only redeeming quality of it is that it's across the street from chateau blanc.
and that chinese buffet place with questionable lo mein.

it's almost like the designer of that place was like, this area is the size of an average child's bedroom. we need to maximize space, while effectively creating as many accidents around flammable liquids as possible. if we can one day make a whole street corner explode because of a major design fuck up, we've done our job.

also another thing. if there's a way that we can make it so if it's a busy friday rush hour, we want to make sure that you're going to get into fender bender. you canNOT leave our BP without hitting a car. or a baby. or a baby in a powerwheels vehicle.

oh yeah. after you walk out of the store to pay for your gas because the fuckin credit card thing doesn't work EVAR. how about strolling in our designated "collision zone" where you can get personal with your favorite dirt and salt snow stained foreign vehicle.

enough of my rant.

happy new year.

i've been pretty much taking it slow because i haven't gotten much sleep lately. but now that i got you here. i'm going to post the recipe for that wonderful dish you see above. my infamous (only to me) "lotta frittata" from the creator of the queso (j) dillas, the BIG ASS LASAGNA and my sauteed onion swiss butter burger.

ingredients.

you can use any type of non stick pan you'd like. but i always suggest my trusty cast iron skillet, lula (yes i named her). because you're gonna throw it in the oven.

4 scrambled eggs (i use 5 but that's because i love eggs)
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup of shredded cheese of your choice
1/2 green pepper
1/2 onion
3 roma tomatoes (diced)
(throw in any other veggies you got, mushrooms are really good. i tried spinach in the one pictured and it's great)
2 potatoes (whichever way you want, sliced, diced, hashed, whatevs)
half a stick of butter or margarine or shortening or whatever you gonna use.

*if you're gonna use spinach. make sure you wash it thoroughly. cut and put in a bowl with a table spoon of balsamic or regular vinegar and olive oil. microwave for 30 seconds or so until it wilts and it's frittata (or omelet or whatever) ready.

-fry potatoes in the butter until brown (about 15 minutes).
-preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
-drop veggies in and sautee and mix up until soft. this'll be a good time to season it if you like.
-while the veggies are sauteeing, go ahead and scramble the sour cream, salt and pepper in with the eggs. scramble em and mixem good too.
-pour the egg mixture over the potatoes and veggies. shake the pan and use a spoon to make sure the egg settles all around. you want it even.
-throw the pan in the oven for 10 minutes or until the eggs start to bubble and look cooked on top.
- spread cheese on top. throw back in there for another 5 minutes.
-let it cool once it comes out of the oven. cut and serve.
-thank me

the most important meal., originally uploaded by dnegative79.

we get into the nbc building at around 630 and there's this huge line that has already formed but we still got in to make it to the final taping of the day.

they herd us like cow into huge elevators and this room where they told us to keep the tv onto nbc where we watched clash of the choirs. which was really boring btw. but this is someone who hates reality shows. about half an hour later, they finally get us into the studio where we sat down and watched the too hot for tv dvds for a little bit.

most of the time, me and hector were planning on how we were going to try to start a fight with someone. and i kept looking over at jane like "you know if you want to show a titty or two, you can get beads."

the lights finally dim and the tvs go off and todd comes out. he warms us up by telling a few jokes and telling us how the rules go. when you hear "whore whore whore!" he's usually the first one to say it. no it's not just one guy in the audience who says "take off your shirt!" it's todd. so he tells us to get up and yell as loud as we can to get a check. then tells a few jokes. and tells us again for jerry to come out.

jerry comes out and tells some bad jokes. i mean bad to the point you have to laugh. corny jokes. but he was still funny. he had good timing and it seems like he had some comedic/stage training or something. anyway. he starts flirting with girls in the audience and telling him about how he's old and not that good looking but he's filthy rich. which was pretty dope...i'd say the same thing.

so the show starts. and jerry introduces a guest bodyguard. for the first time in jerry history they have a tranny bodyguard. the first segment is a midget who's girlfriend was cheating on him. the midget talks about how he works out and can do 120 pushups in one minute. todd screams "DO SOME PUSHUPS" and we all start saying it. i don't understand how this happens. but everything that little people do ends up mad funny to me. then he breakdances. and some other shit.

then a hula hoop girl with furry thigh length boots and a one piece comes out. she's wearing some spiky blonde wig and starts going at it. the whole show we were mostly going "wtf. that's too random for me"

so the midget dude finally meets his competition. this HUGE FUCKIN FAT DUDE. guy had titties and everything. then they start fighting. and teh girlfriend comes out.

now the whole segment we were like "i gotta see the girlfriend. i KNOW she's gotta be hot." so we were hoping to see some model looking broad come out in a mini skirt. nope.

she was smaller than the midget. and for some reason everybody in our row was like "why didn't i expect that?"

so the midget dude was like "i'll challenge you to a game of basketball. if i win, she gives me another chance" they play basketball and the midget wins (!?). then they give him a championship belt and one of the security team hoists him on his back and carries him through the crowd on some victory shit. it was a triumph of the human spirit.

i'll be back to talk about the other segments later. my fuckin fingers are killing me.

sorry for the delay in my updates this past week.
working retail during the holiday season does that to you.

so this past weekend i went to transit. which i generally abhor but i attended because it was my friend mari's birthday and i wanted to see my friends. well...mainly mari, rachel and anybody else i hadn't seen in a bit or a week. or whatever.

the thing is. the motherfuckers i see everyday at work were there anyway. but i stayed there for a bit and i had to leave kinda early. i really did want to stay though. i should have. the rest of my night was okay tho.

- the line outside the club. i understand trying to keep things moving smoothly with checking ids and taking cover charges and the like, but when you keep 60 people outside during below 32 degree weather you need to lay off. this wasn't as bad as in the summer though. because in the summer, they'll have you outside for like 2 hours. i remember going to the white star one night and me and like 10-12 people (male and female) had to wait outside for about an hour and a half because i guess we woulda made the place too black. i seriously avoid clubs like that.

- domestic beer has no business being over 3 dollars. i don't care who you are. i felt almost sorry for the people who had to pay cover. but then i said "no i don't". 5 dollars for a domestic beer is highway robbery and someone should be getting shot stabbed or fucked up behind this.

- women love to show off their titties and ass and vagina and get upset when someone looks a little too long. not saying i did. i like undressing with my eyes. but a couple of women i saw get real annoyed when a dude stared her down a little too long. i mean...guys can be creepy sometimes, but women are really enabling the shit out of them.

- 20 dollar covers are for performing acts. c'mon yo. i understand you got rent and staff to pay. but a place with 5 bars can have a 10 dollar cover and still make a killing.

- i love my latinos but your music grinds my gears after a bit. i'm sorry. let's get some variety in here. play hip hop or the latest r&b song. play some dance/house music at least. and i'm talking about on the main floor. i was driven upstairs to where the dj (whos name i didn't get but he had a pretty varied library of music) was playing better music. he went from mary j, to that soulja boy bastard, to ATCQ to T.I. to etc. he kept it moving tho.

i'd still go back tho. only if there was a party where i didn't have to pay cover. which is the reason why i don't even fuckin party in downtown chicago anymore.

side note: if you ever read this blog and you're in chicago, please contact US beer company and tell them not to mess with the half ass promoter they have working on saturdays. they're trying to charge 20 dollars for entry. and i think the drinks are kinda jacked up. i told my homie, mimi (hayboo) that they need to look into something else. i didn't even spend 20 dollars to see ghostface last year (the bottle fiasco). i'll be damned if i pay 20 dollars to come into a spot where the cover is at the MOST 10 dollars when there are performing acts.

and the performing acts are a shit ton better than what was there the other week, i'm sure. yeah support local hip hop, blah blah blah. but when i pay 10 bucks to see little brother or 7 bucks for tanya morgan. and you charging 20 dollars to see your half ass local act. and you got the nerve to charge 10 dollars for your CD that ISN'T EVEN IN PRO PACKAGING. you need to tone it down, son(s). anyway...

rant over.

i gotta do christmas shopping this weekend i think.

but yall have a good one.
i'll talk to yall later because i'm off until weds.

JERRY SPRINGER TOMORROW, BITCHES.

i only posted this picture because it's so adorable.

here's a video of some darth vader hiarity that i found on someone else's blog:

update: camera is getting sent off monday. i have a stomach ache/virus or some shit. i did a 2chicks1cup. which means i shat and vomited in the same place (the to-let). sorry for the graphic content...ah fuck it. my blog. my rules. my shit. my vomit:

i told rachel that if i felt any better, i'd meet them at joe's whatever it's called to see the too white crew. they do covers of hip hop songs. mostly old school shit. which i love because i heard them do "paid in full" one day and i almost flipped a bar stool over. but most likely i'll be the only black dude there aside from either a bass player or some corny black dude. THOSE black dudes. shit...fuck...what if he looks at me like "there's another black dude. i bet he's corny tho?" fuck shit.

last time i went to joes was for the ghostface show before fishscale came out. that was when there was this huge ass fight where it was trulife's crew vs everybody in the crowd. trulife lost. but it was ill because ghostface came out and still killed it. i wish there was youtube footage of this. i'd be a happy man but here's a sohh link. go down to number 3.

and to finish off this multimedia frenzy of a blog update. i leave you with chubb rock's "treat em right". man new jack swing was the shit.

i'm going to update my blog regularly but i have bad news.

my camera broke.

i'm THIS close to crying.
but the screen (not the focusing screen as i thought before) is off the hinges.
so it gets stuck everytime i take a pic and i have to reset it everytime.

it sucks.
but i'm gonna call samsung tomorrow.
and get this repaired.

and until then i'm going to save my money and pick up a better camera and have this one be a backup.

anyway.
wish me and my broke ass camera luck.
i've only had this shit 3 weeks.

diversey bowl.

diversey bowl., originally uploaded by dnegative79.

this is right around the corner from my place of work. i've only gone there twice before (once to bowl with co-workers another time to get stood up for a date) and i really didn't enjoy myself both times. i don't know why.

first i'm not a real big fan of bowling. i always injure my fingers somehow and i forever roll it into the gutter. second i'm not a big fan of wearing some shoes someone else has worn. third, going back to the ball, i'm not too big on sticking my fingers in holes where other people's fingers have been. take that anyway you'd like, mr/miss/mrs nastypants. i'm not a fan of it.

but it's sure fucking pretty, isn't it? sure you can go anywhere in chicago and find it. but outside of large cities, you won't seen neon in a lot of places. maybe it's watching the soft glow or the gas passing through the tubes. or maybe it just makes anything go from classy to crassy with just a few pulls and twist of some soft glass.

anyway. it's about 1230 right now. in the morning btw. i really should have spent a few minutes cleaning up when i got home but i'm so fucking tired. i barely want to take a shower. but i will. so since i'm too lazy to do that, i'll give you some free music.

free copyrighted music btw. this is by no means a music request blog. or one of those free music blogs that the kids are all into these days. but i'm going to hook anybody up who notices this.

"baggage handlers" j dilla feat. raekwon
this track is from the dillagence mixtape from mick boogie and raekwon. besides the weird rant by busta rhymes during the outro, this was a great mix. just busta blacking out over dilla beats and inviting those who were directly and indirectly influenced by him performing as well. aside from kweli and q-tip killing "lightworks" there was another highlight which was raekwon (which seemed out of place but it worked) rhyming over the intro beat from "Thelonius" off the slum village album (as well as common's "like water for chocolate"). i hate the scarface intro though. scarface intros are kinda overdone to me.

"don't look now" outsidaz
outsidaz was a newark new jersey group (i say crew because there was like 9 niggas in outsidaz at any given time) consisting of such artists as young zee, pacewon and rah digga among others. this is from the nightlife ep which if i remember correctly, i bought the second i heard this track. i was in willies records and tapes 10 minutes before they closed and homie played this because he knew people weren't going to complain about the cursing. i asked him what album it was off of because i only recognized young zee's voice. he showed me the EP (which came in that tuesday morning) and i bought it. threw 6 bucks on the counter. threw it in the cd player in my jeep and banged my head all the way back home to get drunk.

also, feel free to either buy the limited edition collectors cup style hard copy of dillagence from mickboogie's website as well as downloading it for free minus the artwork and shizz.

anyway. unless i get a fit of insomnia. good night.

this was when i was living on the southside after a storm. there were puddles up and down 115th street at the time and i wanted to play around with reflections and water. i caught this in front of a burned down laundromat and this was one of the rocks that was left over from the subsequent wrecking of the building. i think this pretty much describes parts of the wild hunnids. detached and always a work in progress. i was also surprised how much i was able to focus in on the rock with my shitty digital camera.

i'm so lazy tonight (this morning) that i just cut and pasted that from my photo description.

but i do miss the hunnids. don't miss the trip going down there. but i still miss it. today had the day off.

tomorrow until saturday i work until late.
so i'm pretty much going to be devoid of sleep.
for some reason i only slept 5 hours last night.
and i woke up early on a day where i'd expect some sleepingin time.
so frustrating. so now i'm just gonna try to get a good 7-8 hours of sleep in because i want to make breakfast before i head to work.

i hid rent money somewhere and i forgot where it was. i guess it's better than losing it, eh?

goodnight/morning.

this entry.

(fuck. i said i was gonna go to bed then i saw this shot. I PROMISE I'LL GO TO BED AFTER THIS.)

this is dedicated to one of my good friends, sonya.

we took this after a night of...doing whatever the hell in northside. and i remember me giving her a piggyback ride down 115th street because her feet hurt. this was at like 3 am. and the alcohol was wearing off. and we were delirious because i think we almost froze to death.

anyway. i had just came up on a good deal on a camera. a canon powershot s1 is. for like 80 bucks. best deal you can find on earth, due to a little misunderstanding at work. so i took a few shots of her and surprisingly, these came out pretty good.

about the girl. she's like 3'8" and 175lbs. she eats too much. talks about either shitting or pooting too much and i still have one of her stuffed animals. and she complains that she doesn't have an ass. well...complained. me personally? i think she's shaped like a 60 year old dominican man. but some people are into that type of shit. she moved to ny like 5 years ago and i haven't heard from her since. if anybody has seen her or heard her or heard of her. or smelled her. please let me know.

i'm tired of this fucking stuffed fucking dog staring me in the face when i bring company over.

i miss you sonya.

this picture was taken back in 05 in detroit during some dumbass event where i met up with some dumbass people. but they was cool niggas, i guess.

well...first of all, there's nothing not work safe going on here. that's nicki. fucking with will during a nap after a cookout on belle isle @ the park. i don't even remember what happened after that but i know i took a gang of pictures of her and her behind and i fell asleep as well.

second of all, a part of me really hated that weekend because there was so much going on. every corner of that hotel was occupied with somebody. the DEMF was the same weekend. as well as a tattoo convention going on across the street from the hotel. so there were some interesting individuals.

i mean. we drank a whole lot and i remember a lotta dry funny smelling plants being passed around that whole weekend. you expect to see interesting individuals.

uh. i'll talk more about nicki in upcoming entries. at one point, she was my only main subject but that was because i was too shy to ask anyone. and she knew exactly what to do in front of a camera. act natural and ignore me. haha.

bee-tee-fuckin dubs. i'm going to buy a scanner so i can have a better resolution scan of this photo. it'll be awhile though. it's fuckin christmastime.

i'll brb. it's fucking 3:32am and i really should be heading to bed.

this is officially me posting my first of many entries into this blog. i've started about a billion of them and i hope this will be one of the last ones that i do start. i'm not going to get all corny and tell you what to expect of this blog. but i'm just gonna say that i'm posting up photos that i've taken, shit that i think about, and pretty much anything that comes to mind.

don't expect any brain busting political dialogue. don't expect me to be emo. even though i might act it once or twice. but just bear with me.

this shot was taken no less than 200 yards away from my job. it's at the bridge on diversey ave. i originally was to take a pic of the one over on fullerton but some smart ass decided it was funny to steal the fucking lifesaver. and i didn't realize it until after i took this picture that maybe someone did almost drown and someone saved some kid's life with that missing lifesaver.

but since i dont expect a lot from people 90% of the time, i think a motherfucker stole it.
