So, did anyone watch the VMA's last night? I for one am still confused as to what exactly was going on! Now, I'm a fan of all types of music, so it was great to see all the different groups collaberating (Weezy/fall out boy was hot) and Kanye's performance walking around the Palm's was hot as well. However that was easily the most confusing awards show I've ever watched. For one, it looked like the camera man had a hand held cam corder and was in the middle of a mosh pit trying to shoot the show! The camera was literally bouncing up and down and moving side to side the entire time! Definitely hard to follow. There were random people performing through out the night, but you couldn't tell if it was a part of the show, or just a few random dudes playing guitar in the hotel. Then it would cut to commercial, and then back to someone else performing. I was trying to follow it, and if I'm the only one that was struggling I'd be surprised.On a different note, Chris Brown killed it! It was by far the best performance of the night. 50, JT and TImbaland did their thing as well. What did everyone think of Britney? I'm not going to hate on her because I absolutely detest haters, I actually want to see her do well. She did her thing back in the day and it's a shame she's had to deal with all of this negativity the past couple years. But, with that being said, she got to open for the VMA's to launch her back into the spot light and she looked SO disinterested. I don't think her performance was 'bad' but I do think it lacked energy and conviction, which are the two things she was GREAT at doing while performing before. I had to put my head down when I was watching it! It made me so uncomfortable! You know like when someone's awkwardly dancing off beat (not on purpose) or when that contestant gave that wack answer a few weeks ago...it's embarassing to watch, which is kind of how I felt watching Britney! I'm not hating, I want her to do well and I think she was extremely talented at her type of music a few years back, and I hope she finds what she had because that wasn't it last night. The competition going on between Kanye and 50 is extremely refresshing for hip hop right now, it's awesome to watch. I thought Mary J Blige made a great point in saying that the competition between Kanye and 50 is exactly what Hip Hop was built on. There's no negativity, no violence, it's simply about whose the hottest mc, period. I was reading the new Rolling Stone (50/Kanye cover) and I got to thinking...fans of hip hop in general will buy both cd's but the Kanye West fan is completely different from the 50 cent fan. They are two completely different styles of hip hop. Should definitely be interesting to see who out sells who. Either way, they are both disgustingly talented and doing a lot of positive things for hip hop. In the spirit of football season starting, my boy and I went outside to toss around the football a little bit, and as usual, something hilarious went down. Well, I live in downtown Baltimore, so there are cars lining the streets making if pretty difficult to run patterns (I know, your thinking why are we running patterns anyway..). Either way, Evan takes off down the street throws a fake left (not sure who he was faking) and bust right, across the street and I tossed it out there for him, but I lead him entirely too much. Rather then letting it go this idiot dove to catch it, got up ended by the hood of a car and slid across on the the side walk.Thank god he didn't get hurt, but it was one of the dumber things I've seen in quite some time. I was in tears laughing, as was he. I got to start carrying a video camera around more and start recording this stuff. At the very least it would be funny to look back on years from now. The week should be relatively relaxed hopefully. I'm pumped to watch my Ravens tonight, it's going to be an awesome atmosphere and a great way to start out the season on Monday night baby. Oh yeah, I remember something annoying I wanted to share. So, me and my boy were flying home from Denver on Sunday, and we took southwest. Now I'm a window guy because I pretty much sleep every flight I'm on, and Bense likes the isle, so clearly the middle seat was open. On the flight out, we were lucky and the flight wasn't full, so we had it open all flight. On this flight, we it was open and right before they closed the doors, some dude comes sprinting on the plane. Of course, he walks right up to us and request to sit down. Bense gets up and this car takes his time sitting down! He lifted up all the arm rest took a few things out of his bag, put his bag under the seat, pulled it back out to grab one last thing (keep in mind benson is standing up the whole time and this cat is sitting in the isle seat organizing things). Then he slides into his seat, takes my seat belt instead of his own. It was an honest mistake, so I had no issues with is. Now that he's situated, it smelled AWFUL all of a sudden. I was heated! You know that smell when clothes sat in the washing machine too long before being put in the dryer for too long? Well yeah, that was the smell and it was ROUGH. So this cat smells bad, it took forever sitting down, and his got his legs all up in my area and he's using both arm rest. So, I tried to lean more against the window and read a few magazines (Rolling Stone, ESPN, US Weekly) and this dude is steady leaning on my shoulder trying to read with ME!!!!!!!! I haven't been that annoyed in a few years. I couldn't believe this cat. We thought we were on some prank television show because we couldn't believe how ridiculous he was. I pray I'll never have to sit next to him again. Next week I head out to LA for a few days, then to Vegas for a few days, so I'll have all kinds of good stories I'm sure. Have an awesome week, and be sure to watch the Ravens do their thing tonight!! KH
