Dispensaries

http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-dispensaries-i,0,5658093.htmlstory

They are all over the city. I could go on for days about how marijuana should be legal, but I'm tired. Lol. Just check it out. Imagine, all of these locations and how much money they make. My ex knew someone who ran one and said they made about $10,000 a week. That might be a bit embellished because he was tryna get in her pants, but let's think about this... when she would go, she would spend about $60. I'd be willing to bet that that's about average for a person's visit. Let's say it's a slow shop, and they get 20 people that day. These are probably conservative estimates, mind you. That's $8,400/week. Damn... maybe that guy wasn't exaggerating. Fine. I'm okay with saying that a dispensary pulls in 10 g's a week. You're talking about half a million a year from ONE location. According to this article, there are 260 in the Greater L.A. area. That's $130,000,000 coming off weed from this region alone!!! Put these businesses all across the nation and tax the shit out of the operation... it's a crop that would be totally ruled by America. We would own and end a whole lot of problems. I'm just saying.

The Greatest Image Ever

I have to thank Perez Hilton for providing me with the greatest thing I have EVER seen. This made my day so EPIC (lol) that I came out of blogging retirement. The reason I love the movie Aladdin is because of Jasmine. She made the songs better, the Genie funnier, and my 6-year-old junk a little older. Now, my 23-year-old junk got that same tingling sensation. Somehow i knew, Kim would be the one to do it. I would LOVE to Reggie that bush.

Drake signs to Young Money

So I was searching for places to find some good hip-hop and I came across this blog. I heard from Julio Paz that the blogs is where you keep up with your music. Figured I'll stick to this one. And it had a great article about Drake: check it here.

I just wanted to comment on one idea proposed in the blog:

"Not Drake himself, but the fact that EVERYONE is seemingly head over heels in love with him... "

YES! I completely agree. It's definitely a phenomenon that's going on in hip-hop. I think fans have been clamoring for so long for a rapper that can actually rap. Wait, wait. Let me rephrase that... a rapper with MAINSTREAM APPEAL that can actually rap. He's very user-friendly. He's got the same swag, wordplay and entertainment value as Lil' Wayne. But Drake can go where Lil' Wayne can't: the eyes & ears of the easily-offended conservative.

Ladies love him because he's got that confidence and looks (no homo, but he's mad over-rated in that category). Fellas love him because he's got lines for days. Dare I say... he's even better than Wayne? Yes I do dare. Yes I do.

I don't know who kept their ears out for this guy, but I'm pretty sure Drake already knew how he was gonna market himself. And damn he did a good job at it. I mean, who would have known where you can find a clean, marketable version of Lil' Wayne? Apparently, you find him in Canada on the set of a Nickelodeon teen drama.

Drake is it. There's no stopping him. All Young Money needs now is a great-looking Latino from Los Angeles. And I thiiiink I know where to find him....
Lol.

Hate Crimes

It's a shame that this stuff is going down. The media and government have worked hand-in-hand to create racist sentiment towards Latinos. And they promote it even further by continuously reporting on the Mexican Drug War in such a negative light, practically blaming the swine flu on Mexico, and constantly heating up the immigration debate.

Below, you will find a link to an actual hate crime. This kid was attacked by these backwards scum who tied a noose around his neck. A NOOSE! Despicable. Simply despicable.

R.I.P. MICHAEL JACKSON

Whoa. I woke up today feeling kinda weird. Then, I found out the news about the death of one of the greatest legends to ever exist. Michael Jackson passed away today. Reportedly, of a heart attack. I'm not here to write a news article. You can turn on the TV and check out the reports. Seems like every channel is reporting on it. It makes all this even more depressing. As I sit here typing this at my Grandmother's house, I have faint memories of my days in the 1-bedroom "house" that I grew up in just down the street from here. Every Saturday & Sunday morning, I'd wake up, grab a vinyl from the album crate, and bother my mom 'til she woke up. She already knew what I wanted when she woke up. So, she'd wipe the mocos from here eyes (lol), walk into the living room, and put the vinyl on the turntable. As soon as the record began to play, my hips would start moving and my morning routine began as Baby Johnny would dance away to Michael Jackson's Bad. From then on, all jokes aside, this pop icon was gonna be part of my life's soundtrack no matter what.



Today, we mourn the life of a music god. It's sad that all this controversy surrounds him. It's a taint in the road of a Great. But there's people, BILLIONS of people, all over the WORLD that don't care. That put it aside because the guy is a part of the best songs to ever hit ears. It's a sad day. I've always been terrified of death and it impacts me greatly. Honestly, I've only had one major death in my family, but I am able to empathize very easily. Too easily. Because he was such a big part of my life and countless other lives, it actually affects me almost as much. I'm pretty depressed. Not gonna lie. It doesn't help that I can't get away from the news. Lol. And yet, I don't want to be away from it. I want to celebrate the life of a Legend. I want to be where all the people are. I want everyone to gather in one place and have the BIGGEST Michael Jackson dance party ever! Who's down?

Michael overshadows this day. Let us not forget about the others that died today, specifically the sexual icon Farrah Fawcett and t.v. icon Ed McMahon.

Celebs mourn Mike:
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2009/06/celebrities-mourn-michael-jackson-death-dead-twitter.html

Dear College Kid

Here's a little rant I left on a friend's Facebook Wall after she said my 3-month suspension from Facebook "inspired" her to get off it as well:

i personally think Facebook is the best social networking tool of all-time. it's much more personal than MySpace, and easier to find friends. it has a Wall that makes it quicker to leave comments. all the Apps. make it versatile. the interface is much more user friendly and not annoyingly complicated like customizing your MySpace page. and it has the Chat function. honestly, if they made their Chat operation more reliable, there would be no need for MySpace or AIM (or anything else for that matter). The internet would be ran by Google and Facebook.

but all that means is that Facebook IS the mortal enemy of that little thing we call Time. lol. i mean, keeping in contact with friends is great. but you can't possibly be BFF's with everybody. so keep the close friends on speed dial, the decent friends on AIM, and everyone else on a blue moon.

now BACK to homework and partying!

Punishment = No Facebook?

After a series of unfortunate incidents culminating in the towing of my car and the mandatory payment of a class I didn't even complete, I've decide to punish myself. It's a firm penalty that I hope to adhere to through self-control and the strong urge to become sharper.

For 3-months starting today, June 18, 2009, I am disallowing myself from:
(1) Drinking
(2) Smoking

Apparently I have a party coming up on the 25th, so I'm leaving my Facebook up to invite friends to that AND LUL & OPB's 3rd Annual Greek Unity BBQ. I honestly don't quite know if people will still get the invitations even though I deactivate the account. If I knew that they would, then I would do it now. But I'm not too sure that Facebook will send the invitation from a ghost. Nevertheless, when I find out for sure that people will still get it (or until June 25th, whichever comes sooner), then it will be
(3) Facebook

The "party" will be the first challenge, ideally, to #1. I mean if people go for me, they're theoretically gonna wanna buy me drinks, right? But I already got a solution for that:
Friend: "Johnny, lemme buy you a drink!"
Johnny (Option 1): "I'm not tryna drink, but buy one more for yourself and get messed up for me!"
Johnny (Option 2): "I'm not tryna drink, but hook my homie up with one for me. He/she has been a ryder in my college life, so both of y'all deserve it."
Johnny (Option 3): "Who the f*ck are you?!"

Yeah so I'm pretty much serious about this. The beast in me is starting to come out. I've vowed to get on my grind like it was in high school. And now that I'm older and wiser, more SEASONED as they say, it's gonna be a VERY interesting summer.

But yeah... the whole point of this post though is to publicly declare that if you have no other way of getting a hold of me besides Facebook, you suck and really don't belong in my life, but I'm nice and want to remember random people that I've met in my time at USC, so I haven't deleted you from my Facebook friends. I guess one positive of going off Facebook for a period of time is that you'll see who really wants to be around you. Even leaving a Facebook Wall comment doesn't constitute friendship (surprising I know). So people who want to be in touch will do it in a form aside from Facebook.

That's that. As a punishment for my crimes, I'm taking away things that I "like to do". In old-fashioned parental style, I'm grounded from my hobbies. Lol.

I'm about to comment on the Laker victory. Stay tuned.
For now, I will post this link to a great LA Times collection of Hollywood's finest coming out to show the Lake show some love.

'til my next post: Parade on Wednesday! WOOOOOO. I'm an L.A. fan. Let's get it, Los Angeles!

Jay-Z - D.O.A.

I'm not gonna front, I'm a T-Pain fan. I dig his sound and I think it's hot. Plus, he's one hell of an entertainer. If you're on a T-Pain track and you use Auto Tune, then that's fine. You're matching his sound to give the song verbal continuity. BUT if you're not, then you're jockin'. Lil' Wayne went o.d. with it, but he's Lil' Wayne. People let it slide. But after that it just got ridiculous. So ridiculous... that the "Mike Jordan of rap" had to say something.

Lil Wayne - Kobe Bryant

First, Obama. Then, Shaq. And now the deal is sealed with Lil' Wayne. Everybody is OFFICIALLY on Kobe's jock. If he wins a championship, it's over. Old men in Brazil are gonna be wearing Kobe jerseys. I've been a Kobe hater since he entered the NBA because people would always compare him to my favorite player... the greatest player to ever play the game... Michael Jordan. My friends would always say "oh he's gonna be better." And it would piss me off. So I figured the best way to shut them up once and for all would be for Kobe to fail. But I realized that no matter what... people are always gonna try and make the argument that he's better. And in the same fashion, I'm never gonna agree with that. Lol. So there's really no point in making the entire team suffer because of one guy. And it's especially unfair to punish my city. Then I thought about fairness... it's not Kobe's fault that people compare him to Jordan and piss me off. Haha. Thus, I've come to the conclusion that I'm okay with him winning, especially for the sake of my city.

I'm new to it... so I can't really cheer FOR Kobe, but I enjoy the show. I still find myself cheering for the other team. It's gonna take some time to adjust, but... I'm not gonna bust all this bandwagon stuff. I'll tolerate the guy, root for LOS ANGELES and keep my mantra going: "F*** Kobe!" LOL! Go L.A.!

Bag of Tricks

I got side tracked. Blame it on the ADHD. I was saying how tonight wasn't as unproductive as I thought because I learned 2 new tricks, but then I started talking about celeb ladies. Man, I still can't get those Brooke Burke images out of my head.

This is her when she's thinking about me:

Oh, Johnny! I want to be with you sooo bad, but I'm already accustomed to this lifestyle. Plus, you're kinda dark.

Whatever. Haha.
See... there I go again. Focus, Johnny. Phocusssss!
Okay. Phew. Ready. So here are the 2 tricks I learned tonight.


TRICK #1
Getting an MP3 version of a YouTube video
I love instrumentals. I like to freestyle when I'm alone... or drunk. The only thing is, it's pretty tough to find GOOD beats for free. I download most from DatPiff.com, but those are all mainstream and whatever beats. I need some beats that just BEG for a quality freestyle. I need some beats that underground MCs flow to. These beats, my friend, are difficult to come by. So, I was forced to listen to them off of YouTube, which is a complete hassle because unless someone has a dope ass instrumental playlist, you have to manually find a good beat every 5 minutes. And even if you do find a good playlist, there's streaming problems and copyright issues so the song either plays twice or doesn't play at all. I was listening to a dope playlist of 9th Wonder beats and thought to myself, "Damn, I gotta have these!" So I left a comment asking if anyone knew where I could get them and one dude responded by saying he just uses the Downloader. Well, I have a Mac. You know: a Mac for a Mack! Ha! I couldn't find one of those nifty YouTube Downloaders for my Mac (there's a ton for PCs if you want one, see?) So I just Googled "how do I get mp3 versions of youtube videos" and it directed me to a site called listentoyoutube.com. You just type in the URL and it converts it for you!!!
I'm always paranoid. And I'm paranoid that this thing sneaks in viruses, but... that's the point of a Mac, son!!!

TRICK #2
Downloading YouTube videos
In my search for a Mac version of the YouTube Downloader, I came across a website called macosxhints.com. That's where user marco.trive submitted this little tip:

If you're using Safari, there's an easy way to download YouTube videos. Open the page with the movie and press Command-Option-A, which shows the Activity window. If you're also loading other sites, you'll see a list of them: scroll until you find the YouTube page and click on the arrow to show details about what is being loaded. You will certainly notice an element whose size is over 0.5MB (most of the time, over 5MB). Double-click on it (even if it is still loading), and Safari will download it. When the download is over, navigate to the file in the Finder (which will probably be called get_video) and add the extension .flv to its name. Now you can play it with VLC or with QuickTime (only if you have Perian installed).

(See page here)

So that's that. 2 new tricks. I'm about to have a sick collection of instrumentals thanks to all the kind people on YouTube. Hopefully I get to them before the copyright people at Google do.

Too Hot to Even Watch! #1

So this night wasn't as unproductive as I thought. Not gonna lie, I downloaded the Kim K video. Lol. I only saw snippets because I didn't wanna watch the whole thing, but... from those parts alone, it wasn't as great as I thought it was gonna be. I guess that's because she's so amazingly beautiful that you like to see her all dolled up because it makes you feel like she's an angel. An angel with horns ;) (you've been a bad bad girl!) I guess with me, if there's a celeb that I think is ridiculously hot, I get frustrated (and low-key depressed) that I can't make sweet searing love to her. I get that with Kim, Jessica Alba, Denise Richards, etc. I realized that I get this way 8 or so years ago when I couldn't even bear to watch one of my favorite shows because the host was way too gorgeous. Like... you grind your teeth with women this incredible. I'm talking of course about ...

BROOKE BURKE
I really liked that show too. I remember I would watch it late at night. Like past my bed time late. I would turn off the TV after my Dad would tell me to go to bed. But when he went into his room, I would wait about 10 minutes and just turn it back on. Shhh, don't tell him. Anyway, I would come across the show and (1) slap the bed because it was RIDICULOUS that she was that hot (you know when you see a lady so sexy that you just go "ssssssssssss" between your teeth because she's just SIZZLIN' and then you punch your hand! Yeah, every guy knows that's the signal for "DAMMIT! I want to pipe her right here right now!) and (2) - lol - (2) take notes. Literally, I would write down the names of the places they did the episodes on because I wanted to visit those places when I was rich & famous. Seriously. In a little notepad, I would write it down. Off the top of my head, I know I want to go to the French Riviera and Ibiza. Don't know why exactly because I don't remember the episode, but I'm pretty positive it had to do with 2 things: the beautiful beaches and the beautiful BEEEEEEEEEEEECHESSSSSSSSSSS!!! LOL!!!
So the show itself was very informative. I wanted to compile an entire list of these places, but I couldn't because I just couldn't stand to see Brooke Burke knowing that I couldn't touch her. Haha.

There are girls that you can jerk it to.
There are girls that are so pretty you can jerk it to their face alone.
And then there's some girls that are sooo majestic you can only stare at with your mouth open...
... you don't need to jerk it because you already jizzed your pants.

Example:


See what I mean... I just finished, but the Big Fella is already back up and ready for another tug. Lol. Didn't even hafta coax him....

...you know what... that actually inspires me to start a new section of my blog that I've been conjuring up. And I got a name for it too. *Goes and changes the name of this post* There it is. "Too Hot to Even Watch!" It's where I'll put up a pic of a BABE that I think is too sexy to even look at. AND... at the end of each of those posts, I will put up an image of the person they are with, so we know what it takes to land the UNWATCHABLES.

So here's The Watcher #1 for our Unwatchable #1.

Actor and singer, David Charvet

A tip of the hat
to that lucky twat (prounce it so it rhymes with "hat"; it's better that way),
David Charvet!

Ok... sweet... just started a new tradition. Now I feel even more accomplished!

Stupid Girls.

A bulletin I posted on MySpace:

caught your attention huh? first of all, only SOME girls are stupid. second of all, i'm glad you're here so at least you can see if you pass the test.

(1) if you post bulletins about love or looking for love or anything that can be conceived as complaining about love, you're STUPID. why do you want to let the world into your personal life in the first place? and then when someone finally responds to your call for attention, you ignore them or don't listen to the advise anyway therefore rendering your initial bulletin.

(2) if you post bulletins (or if it says this ANYWHERE on your MySpace page) about how you're a "boss" or that you have so many haters or "keep talking about me because you're making me famous, beyotch!", you're stupid. no explanation needed here. you're just dumb. lol.

(3) if you commit said crimes in #2, and later down the road post bulletins about being sad because your bf is a dumbass, you're STUPID! Lol. what happened to being a boss? sounds like the boss can't even control her employee. why do hot chicks always go for dumbshits who are even bigger pricks than they are? oh that's right... "stupid is as stupid does."

(4) your IMAGE. let's be real... anyone can find love. anyone can find love if they look in the right places. but take a look at your myspace profile and think about who you're attracting. go on.... go look at it.... i'll wait.
okay, if you have "sexy" pictures showing off your T&A with a lil' pouty face, if any of your pictures make you look like a go-go dancer (and if you are a go-go dancer, then you're just a shoe-in for a test failure! LOL), if you have 25+ comments on one of your pictures with most of the comments saying something like "gurl you fine. when r we gon' fuck?!", then you - ARE - going - to - attract - ASSHOLES! don't wont wonder why you can't find "love". blame it on the m-m-m-m-m-myspace, baby! that's who you are. a twat. LOL. hahaha. ah, man... now i sound like an asshole. lol. but seriously, the profile is called a profile for a reason. it shows who you are. what you call "sexy" most call "easy." and just think about it for 2 seconds... how many girls out there consider themselves "sexy"? you're a dime a dozen, sweetheart. ANYONE can have a hot body. if you're one of those girls that was blessed with a body AND a gorgeous face, you need to realize that you're still expendable. you're NOT "fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiione" until you're chilling with celebs (rap stars and athletes) on the regular. and even if you are, that just means your good enough to be objectified at the highest level. if all women were to be strictly placed on a scale of 1-10, you're only a 10 IF you're on the cover of magazines and guys all over the world are jerking off to the sight of your face alone. oh that reminds me...

(5) if you define your hotness by the number of guys that want to pipe you (i.e. number of friends, number of comments, what they say in the pic comments, etc.), you really ARE stupid. albeit fuckable, but still stupid. we'd fuck pretty much anything. lol. 75% of us down for a girl that looks halfway decent, especially if your myspace pix are good enough (and sooooo many of you have pix that are pure TRICKERY!) . the other 25% are gay or moral. so don't flatter yourself, hot stuff.
[DISCLAIMER: "would" is a dependent word. there are many things i would do, but won't. like go to the moon. so keep that in mind.]

ok... now that we got that out of the way.
who's feeling stupid? lol.

it's okay. it happens to the best of us. the point is not to make you feel bad, but make you realize that you're not all that. everyone needs to be knocked off their pedestals. even the guys. nay, ESPECIALLY the guys. i can write one for the men, but i have A.D.D. it would take me all year to write that one. let's just say all men are jerks...

except for me. ;)
ta-ta.

All About Birthday Sex, 365!

Yep. Doesn't need to be mine or hers! Bday sex everyday! Haha. Anyway, I fell in love with the song. It became the new Intelligent Minds song replacing The Dream's "Rockin' That Thang." Memorial Day Weekend in Vegas sealed the deal for that song. It's officially "my jam," as they say. It's MY jam like I'm Smucker (Rockit, quote from... just now - lol). I'm in love with the song. My pahtna showed me the video and now I'm officially in LUST with the video vixen.

Check it out:


Everytime the song comes on... I get into my lapdance, freaky naughty, ima-dry-hump-the-jizz-outchagurl groove. Lol! I can't help it. Werewolves get activated by a full moon. I get activated by music. And this song turns me into a sexy beast...

...you should see me during Offspring's "Bad Habit". That's a different kind of beast. Haha!

First Post: Nephew!

Oh! My first "blog." Ha! Let me first explain quickly why I did this thing in the first place: Facebook.
Thanks to the new Twitter app on Facebook, I write status updates all the time. But sometimes, I write a Status that I like and want to keep up. Yet, I want to change it so I can... UPDATE IT (the whole purpose of the thing, haha). So, I try to turn to notes, but it's not as inviting or aesthetically pleasing or simple as a status update/wall comment. This little dilemma in conjunction with all the randomness I leave on Walls and Comment Boxes along with my random ideas and opinions, I figured what better way to catalog my thoughts/opinions/rants/randomness than with a BLOG. Plus, I heard it's how Diablo Cody got noticed so I said "why the hell not?!"

Thus, I am here now. And for my first story, I shall discuss: babies.

So, I'm telling a friend that my sister follows her boyfriend everywhere he goes. Those little love birds! *bunny nose* Lol. They're so lovey dovey it was making me sick. He leaves for work at 4 A.M. and she wakes up to watch him make breakfast. And when he's finally out of the house, she comes up to her room and calls him. It's disgusting almost. But they always offer me food, so I'm not too worked up about it. Ha! But I feel bad accepting food from them because I feel like I'm mooching off of people that are about to be broke, you know, because of the baby. Then I go on with my rant and eventually my friend stops me and says: "at least he's not a jerk like some guys who are about to have babies." Reminding me that I should be happy he's even here accepting his responsibilities like a man instead of running away like a coward. So, I says to her I says, "Thanks. I feel better now." To which she replies with something that made me feel even worse than before!:

"i'm going to feel sorry for you when the baby's born though... ur room is right next to theirs = nooooo sleep lol"

And that's when it hit me... this baby is gonna be crying like crazy. It's gonna be cute for the first month and after that it's just gonna be insane! The whole point in NOT being a parent is so that you don't have to deal with the tears and the screaming and the tantrums (sounds like the NBA *drum*), but all that is gonna be right next door. A paper thin wall away. NOT looking forward to that. Any uncles/aunts out there got any tips? Lol.
