"Call me. i'll be awake. If i dont pick up, that means i'm sleeping."

I've been told that sometimes the links dont work. I'm sorry about that. If they don't try copying and pasting them in the box-thing. And thank you Topacio for sharing those songs with me. Have a great Sunday.

Thermal. Underwear.

Shit is so expensive now-a-days. And i'm not just talking about random stuff we want, i'm talking about necessities like food and gas. I really wonder how i still have running water and electricity in my place. Somehow, by the hairs on my chiney chin chin, i'm able to make my bills every month. I don't get how things become more expensive when people have less money. Luckily, i eat a lot which causes me to go grocery shopping a lot which in turn has lead to me finding a lot of good and healthy food for cheap. I figure that some of you guys may also be low on dineros so might wanna know this. I mostly just buy food from three places, Trader Joe's, Albertson's, and 7-11.

Trader Joe's -
cereal - Joe's O's $1.89
Flax Plus, Hemp Plus $2.30

mac and cheese - Wisconsin Cheddar 99 cents
White Cheddar $1.29

Soup - They have a lot of flavors of healthy soup. My favorite is the Tomato Red Pepper soup which goes for $2.30 One carton has around 4 bowls worth in it.

bread - Shepherd's bread A lil' under $2.00

Fruit - Organic Banana 19 cents each

If your into indian food TJ's has a good variety of indian food that only requires you to heat the packet in boiling water. I'm hooked on them and they're all for under $2.50. There's also the shrimp fried rice which just needs to be heated up in a pan. My dad's a big fan and it's not that pricey. You can also get large gourmet pizza's for $3.00 - $5.oo. These are big, really fancy and tasty pizza's that just need to be put in the oven for 10 minutes.

Albertsons -
Bread - Everyday at 4 p.m. they put out fresh baked bread. A big loaf costs between $2.00-$2.50.

In the deli section, usually right next to the bakery you can find Don Miguel's Chimichanga's which are $1.50 each. I've only had the bean and cheese flavor which is really good but i've heard the other flavors aren't. They also have a great deal on Top Ramen, 5 for $1.00

7 -11 -
Cookies - 3 for a $1.00. They're pretty good. The only place with better (way better) cookies for the same price is Diddy Riese http://www.diddyriese.com/home.php in Bruin Village (Westwood, Ca for you out-of-towner's).

"I can handle my own three-foot putt. If i don't make it i deserve to die."

I dont mind this rain but man, do i hate the cold. I figure this is good for the environment so i'll put up with it for a lil while longer. Just till my wetsuit gets back from the repair shop. It's kinda surprising though, this is the first time in a while that it actually feels like a L.A. winter. Since a lot of people are stuck inside today i decided to put up another post with the second installment of the music videos that made it to the L.A. Film Festival.

Are You Ready?

Hip Hop and Rap have changed a lot over the past couple of decades. The sound and subject matter is constantly evolving and not necessarily for the best. Now-a-days, the majority of rap and hip hop played on the radio and tele lacks depth. Half the time the subject matter makes it sound like a 3 minute long commercial for a car or jewelery and the rest of the time it's either an egotistical rant or a play-by play of how he's gonna fuck a girl. Luckily, there still are a few mainstream rappers and underground/indie rappers/labels, like EVER READY RECORDS, that keep it real and put out music that has substance and is worth while. Ever Ready is a fairly new indie label out of West L.A. With the release of a new mixtape, 'That Old Gang Of Mine' and a couple of great performances from San Fran to SD, E.R. has really blown up onto the underground scene. They have a great line up of artists, each with their own individual style. The beats are really catchy and the lyrics are good. All and all, they make very, very good music, stuff that you can nod your head to and dance to. I like to call it feel good music. I picked up a copy of 'That Old Gang Of Mine' and i have to say that it's one of the best Hip Hop albums i've hard this year. I really advice you folks to get yourselves a copy at http://www.erstore.bigcartel.com/. The duo MK ULTRA have just released their first album 'First Of Forever' which you can download for free at http://usershare.net/bgnf31xfagpb. Check out there Facebook and Myspace pages to listen to there music. Their live shows are proper epic so keep track of that too.



The guys over at E.R. also run a great blog about the indie hip hop scene and of other stuff around Los Angeles.
