Worked another double. On my feet all day. Cold, rainy, and Philadelphians are just generally lacking in fucks and manners.

But alas, I have found solace...


Don't nobody fuck with me for the rest of the day.

AND I got spicy recipe.

It's a little weird how close chicken joints are to my place. Popeye's 2 minutes away, KFC 4 minutes away
hardees around the corner

Damn, just found out my cousin was murdered :( http://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2014/12/15/man-shot-and-killed-in-arden-arcade-area/

I know he was in and out of gangs, but it's always sad to see such a young man taken so early. He was supposedly trying to get out of that life, and was killed while playing Dominos over someone's house - for owing $100. Dude has a young child too :( I had just seen him at my uncle's funeral a few months back...

Holy shit, my condolences.

So if smash isn't a fighting game, what are these niggas doing? Platforming? Astronauting?

I'd say its an action platfomer, but I have no issues with people calling it a fighter.

I wish I knew this back in the day. All my chicken stops were usually after leaving clubs, so the only thing open was really Crown Fried Chicken.

You never drank the D koolaid in the first place though iirc

I thought VooDoo was a good album, much better than his first. :/

My problem with D'Angelo has always been that he's too unfocused. He takes the whole "I want this to sound natural, like a jam session" thing too literally, and a lot of the time it ends up sounding like a bunch of dudes went into the garage, and started hitting the same chords over and over while D'Angelo mumbled over it and occasionally hit you with a falsetto moment. There's no progression. No feeling that D'Angelo is leading the track. That groove you get in the first 10 seconds of the song will basically be the entire song. So far this is a definitely a problem with this album. Although I'm track 5 (Really Love) and I'm kinda feeling that.

Man, so far this album is just demonstrating why Maxwell never sweated D'Angelo. I appreciate that D'Angelo is a bona fide musician, but at some point you gotta give me some focus, some craftsmanship. I can't listen to whole albums of you mumbling while ol' dude on the bass in the back hits that same damn bouncy chord that's in 90% of your songs.
