greasy taint

Kanye West has put out some catchy good stuff (Gold Digger) in the past. But I’m impressed with his latest single, Stronger, that is a remake (or sample?) of Daft Punk’s Stronger. I’m a huge Daft Punk fan, so I’m always happy to see different versions of their work.

And I really like the music video. It’s very Japanese-y, but goes well with the song. According to this site, the video is a remake of the famous Akira movie (Wikipedia article on movie). I have not seen the movie, so I cannot confirm.

I am currently watching the 8th place Warriors wipe the floor with the 1st place Mavericks in Game 6 (I called it before the series) on their way to the second round of the NBA playoffs.

There’s 2:58 left in the 4th quarter, and the Warriors are up 104-80. I’m super super super happy! I haven’t been this excited since the Kings of a few years ago. Those were the kings that pushed the Jazz and Lakers to the limit in the playoffs quite a few times. Those Kings existed to irritate and confuse and worry Shaq, Kobe and Karl Malone. They served us well.

The difference between those Kings and these Warriors? This Warrior team can play some defense. They scramble, they disrupt, they smother, and are fuckin fast. This Warrior team has gone from a couple of big time scorers and a few hopefuls, a couple of years ago, to a relatively solid, and exciting with an amazing coach (Don Nelson) this year. Thank you Chris Mullin for bringing back Nelly.

The game has just ended, 111-86. Mmmmm…. can you smellllllllllll, what the NELSON is cookin!

Also I wasn’t too fond of the Pacer trade at first since they got rid of Troy Murphy, who I love to watch play. But I guess it’s good I’m not callin the shots. Cause it turned out to be a fantastic move. Stephen Jackson is a fuckin pimp. Ugly, but a fuckin pimp.

And speaking of ugly, Baron Davis has been fantastic. I had no idea he was so good. He is clutch. He plays fearlessly. And he carried this team on his ugly beard.

Also Jason Richardson did quite well during the series, especially his posterizing moments. If he couldn’t fly like a maniac, he would be no fun. And I think my new favorite scraper-ish player is Matt Barnes. I love to watch players who throw their body into the game. And I am growing quite fond of his left handed, out of no-where dunks in traffic.

The first thing that came to my mind as the Warriors crossed the 100 point mark on Jason Richardson’s 3 pointer was free food or drink. Why? Cause every Warrior game I’ve been to where the Warriors break 100 points, the fans have received coupons for free food or drinks. A lot of the Warriors games, thats the best thing you could hope for. Cause they used to suck. A lot.

No more. Not sure what’s gonna happen in round 2 against either #4 Utah or #5 Rockets, but even if they get swept, I think it’s been a great season. For the first time in a long time the Warriors are more than just hype. And for the first time in a long time, good players might actually want to stay on the Warriors rather than get traded to a contender.

They just destroyed the best team in the NBA. Congratulations to the Warriors. Just go easy on post game celebrations. Can’t wait for round 2. I would gladly fly up to watch a warriors game in person, but I’ll be out of town all of next week. So I’ll just watch them during the Western Conference Finals.

“… although slow and dangerous behind the wheel, can still serve a purpose. I’ll be right back. Don’t you go dying on me! ”

This is genius. It’s the next best thing to putting the oldies in a pod, and using their life force for electricity.
