Playin' Number Six, Show Business is My Ish

Been a couple days. Good news? I'm feeling healthier. Possibly even spry. Bad news? I just drank a raw egg. Moving on...

In other news, the Arizona Cardinals are in the Super Bowl. The Arizona Cardinals. Yeah, moving on...

The Knicks actually won a close game against Chicago today. The team actually looked slightly better than 16-24 today... they were like a solid 19-21. Yup, you guessed it, moving on...

I have three projects I'm sort of working on right now. The first is a video training montage of my roommate before his basement boxing match. The second is a video montage of my other roommate playing Halo 3. Not the actual playing part, but basically talking about other peoples' mothers over the headset. Both are guaranteed to be hilarious. The third is my rap album with Scott. The hilariousness of that doesn't even need to be mentioned. Needless to say, I'm staying busy with a bunch of stuff that will never ever matter in the grand scheme of my life.


Two new-ish-kinda rap songs that I love:
Charles Hamilton - Brooklyn Girls
Kid Cudi - Day n Nite

And somehow in normal Jay Shayy fashion (hearing a song, liking it about three weeks later, loving it two months later), "Green Light" by John Legend and Andre 3000 is my favorite song right now.

Most Played Artists in the Last Week (according to last.fm, which I've linked many times before)

3. As Cities Burn
4. Kid Cudi
5. Common

My Hands, My Hands, My, uh, My

Friday baby! Am I still sick? Yes. Do I still feel like a bag of poo? Si. But it's Friday, baby! This is a new semester and I gotta get on point with my weekend game. Soundtrack to this blog belongs to Gym Class Heroes today.

Today I'm gonna talk about one of my new favorite things in the world. This is going to sound like an absurd thing to name one of my new favorite things in the world, but bear with me here. It is the ability to leave comments on people's facebook statuses. At first I was like, "do we really need the ability to give our opinions on everything?". The answer is yes, in fact, a resounding yes. Because really, there's nothing more annoying than an annoying facebook status, especially now that the News Feed shoves it in your face mere seconds after it is posted.

First off, and probably least importantly, this can be used for practical reasons. Say I put up a facebook status of "Jay is making peanut butter brownies with almonds". All you have to do is comment something like "alright I'm coming over to help you eat the brownies, you couldn't possibly eat an entire batch by yourself", and BAM, a brownie date has been made via the Internet.

The commenting function can also be used for instant feedback. I'll put something like "Jay is going to try to lose 15 pounds", and then a sensible person can comment back "oh jay you don't need to lose 15 pounds, and anyways I'm not sure that facebook is the appropriate venue to be posting this information". Or say I have a new girlfriend and I put something like "Jay really appreciates his new girl for what a kind, sweet person she is"... you can just throw back something simple and appropriate like "yeah i'd put it in her."

The last and most important part of the commenting is the ability to instantly tell somebody to shut the f' up. If I'm being all emo and I throwback to something like "Jay is Until the day I die, I'll spill my heart for you" (which doesn't even make grammatical sense whatsoever), you can say something like "how about getting a blow job? Really I think it would help." Or if I say "Jay is so depressed right now", you can give me a quick pick me up by saying "sry bud but nobody really valued your life anyways. you might as well jump off a bridge into a river of broken lightbulbs and mouse traps." Now, for anybody who puts anything you really couldn't give less of a shit about, you have the avenue to notify them about this.

It's already almost 4:30 and I still haven't put a shirt on. I need to work on this.


Stayin Good,
Jay

and Crash, Crash, CRASH Into a Ditch. Just Playin'.

I've been really sick since Monday morning. Basically everything that could be wrong is extremely wrong right now (my brother felt like he had a pretty decent explanation for it). I'm feeling slightly better now, but not actually good. Moving on.

Let me start off by saying that I think somebody's been using my Youtube or something. Either that or Youtube just sucks at recommending things. Why do I say this? Because on the front page of Youtube there is a little section that says 'Recommended For You' and then it has like three videos under it that are supposedly recommended for the user, which is me. Well, the three videos that are recommended to me are a ten second clip of some girl's boobs bouncing (no I do not use Youtube for that!), a music video by Papa Roach (yeah, okay lol), and this video that not only completely baffles me, but makes me wonder how it could ever be recommended to anyone.

Keeping on with random things, I'm going to talk about toilet paper. This morning (okay, I woke up at about 2pm today) I noticed I was running kind of low on toilet paper. So I made a quick run out to Tops, grabbed whatever was on sale, and came back. Finally, when I got to using my my new purchase, I realized that I had bought 3-ply toilet paper. THREE PLY! I didn't even know how to feel about this. I mean, I'm all about keeping my hands clean, but I'm not really sure that the third ply was necessary. I decided to read the label on the package. It read: "Introducing New 3-Ply Quilted Northern Ultra Plush. Two layers of pillowy tissue for extra softness, and a third layer for added absorbency." I'm glad they painted such a vivid image in the minds of those making a difficult choice between their product and Charmin. I think eventually they're going to straight up come out with Ass Pillows. They just give you a full fluffy pillow to clean your ass with, and then you can wash and re-use it. Like a ShamWow. We can't do this all day.

I watched the first two episodes of the new Real World season last night. I'm fairly positive I'm not going to enjoy this one too much. And that's coming from one of the biggest heterosexual male Real World fans ever. Issues:

1. Lack of ridiculously attractive female. It helps me get through boring episodes.
2. Too many people in the house. There's eight people on the show this season instead of seven. There literally just isn't enough time to give adequate camera time to each person. In the second episode, the only people really shown at all were Ryan (the close-minded frat boy), Chet the Mormon (who I hate), and Baya (the borderline cute-but-gap-toothed hip-hop dancing chick).
3. Not to say transexuals still me make sort of uncomfortable... but yeah, transexuals still sort of make me uncomfortable. I was praying they'd put on a midg.. er, little person on before a transexual. Or a basketball-playing Asian.
   
4. I hate Chet the Mormon. Not because he's Mormon. Just because he's a douche.
5. J.D (the token gay one) is completely full of himself. This will lead to numerous of my conversations with other people going like this:

Me: I hate JD. He's a prick who is waaay full of himself.
Other Person: Oh no, you just don't like him because he's gay.
Me: Actually, I just think he's a prick. I'm fine with gay people.
Other Person: I know. But I think you secretly don't like him because he's gay.
Me: Okay. I totally hate people just because they're gay.

Then I CC'd Every Girl That I'd See-See Around Town

I'm feelin' good for some reason.

This music video/song always puts me in a good mood.

So does the fact that the Airport Plaza Jewlers commercial is on youtube.

So is a Buffalo Cricket commerical!

So does a man singing puppies to sleep!

So does a dude going through his fridge Cribs-style.


Really I'm just happy to be back to my apartment. I have my own room, my own bathroom, I have a washing machine and dryer right next to my room (not a big fan of being woken up by my neighbor's thumping bass at 11 in the morning, though). It's funny how the simplest things can be so excellent. Plus the Internet actually works here, which means I can watch as many NBA games online as I want again.

By the way, so glad that I don't bet on football. I would've been 0-4. It's literally been the most inexplicable NFL Playoffs I've ever seen. The Cardinals or the Eagles are going to the Super Bowl. I can't get over this.

Still working on my 'Best of 2008' list, it'll be released later this week I think.

-Jay

Turn the Beat Up On Repeat and We Can Start to Dance

I moved back into my apartment yesterday. Fun stuff.

Figured I'd promote some diversity..

eMC - Leak It Out
T-Pain - Therapy
Voxtrot - Kid Gloves
Black Milk - Try
The Kooks - Sway
Rick Blaze - Jolly My Baby
Bon Iver - Skinny Love
Cory Gunz - Mr. Fresh
The Knife - Heartbeats

About to watch some NFL PLAYOFF FOOTBALL. I'll make a less futile attempt at a blog post later.

I Was Just a Young White Boy

Went to Emergency this morning. Guess it wasn't that serious.

I'm going back to Buffalo tomorrow. It's bittersweet, but pretty 'sweet' for the most part (kind of like 'Fatboy' is clearly the superior part of Fatboy Slim). The timing has been pretty good. I needed a break, and now for the most part I clearly need a break from the break.

Top Five Reasons I Need a Break from the Break
1. I watched the entire 2007 WWE Royal Rumble on youtube yesterday. I have not watched wrestling in about nine years.
2. I spent a considerable amount of time trying to invent my own original Ponzi Scheme... to no avail :(
3. I've been using a small table tray as a desk for the past three weeks. It's just not comfortable at all.
4. I recently spent twelve minutes questioning my own masculinity because "Clark Gable" is my favorite song by The Postal Service.
5. I know every word of roughly six songs from T-Pain's new album.


Keeping things going in a positive direction, let me enlighten you with the worst song ever (credit to my brother on this one)(NOTE: I just want to clarify that he didn't actually enjoy this song, he found it as hilarious/disturbing as I did). This is a note to everyone with a pulse: DO NOT LET MUSIC GO IN THIS DIRECTION!

It's bad enough that I'm going to let it go in this direction (and I may use this for the titles of my next fourteen blog entries)

More excitement to come in the upcoming days.

Just a young brown boy,
This Guy

It Has Never Once Chosen Me? Maybe You're Right

Last night I partook in a plan to kidnap one of my best friends. It was unsuccessful (his womanlike reactions somehow led to him pushing the panic button on his car). Moving on.

My Knicks beat the World Champion Unbeatable Awesome Ridiculous Only Going to Lose Four Games This Season Celtics last night. Just gloating a little.

Wow, I really don't have a whole lot to say right now.

I'll go with this: Third-Hand Smoke. That's right, apparently smelling like smoke is also harmful. Smokers are endangering their children just by wearing clothes while they smoke. And that lingering stale smell that stays in your hair or bathrobe... it kills babies. It says it right there in the article.

You know what else is harmful? The fucking sun.

One Night to Be Confused

Sometimes life makes my head hurt. Even on a day that I pretty much spent switching between laying on the couch and laying in my bed every hour. I should feel safe on a day like that.

I'd like to start out with a couple things.

First off, on a kickoff with about 20 seconds left in the half in the Arizona-Atlanta NFL PLAYOFF GAME, I heard the unthinkable. University of Phoenix Stadium (home of the Arizona Cardinals, who needed a swimming supplies store to buy out the remaining tickets for an NFL PLAYOFF GAME so that there wouldn't be a local blackout) was playing "Leavin'" by Jesse McCartney not only before the kickoff... but during the play! The tackle was almost made before the song was turned off. AN NFL PLAYOFF GAME! I move on.

Charles Barkley has always been controversial. He's punched fans in the face, gambled away tens of millions of dollars, has been seen chugging bottles of Patron, criticized just about every person to have ever played a sport, criticized his alma mater for not hiring my boy Turner Gill, among like a million other things. Now he got caught with maybe the most mentally-devoid DUI arrest in history. Basically, he got pulled over by the cops for a suspected of DUI. Pretty standard, until you hear the rest of the story. These are the various rumors that have been attached to this incident (most of these coming from deadspin.com and Awful Announcing, wonderful sites, google them):

• he refused to take a breathalyzer test, but got blood tests taken that will probably prove him to be guilty anyways
• he told the cop that he was driving fast (and running a stop light) because... well lets ask the officer who wrote his report (from The Smoking Gun): "He asked me, 'You want the truth?' When I told him I did he said, 'I was gonna drive around the corner and get a blow job. He then explained that she had given him a 'blow job' one week earlier and said it was the best one he had ever had in his life." Well then.
• they found a loaded gun in his vehicle, which they immediately seized
• they also found a box of bear claw donuts. Go figure.
• reports say that he spent that night (before the incident) partying in a V.I.P. lounge with Michael Strahan and Jaleel White... yes, the guy who played Steve freakin' Urkel!

Somebody give me Charles Barkley's number... that sounds like a night and a half! Hell, give me Urkel's!

Needless to say, at this moment, Barkley is still working for TNT Basketball's pre-game show. Barkley can choose any of his normal excuses: the race card, the "I warned you I'm not perfect" card, the "I don't get paid to be a role model" card, or the "I can do it as long as I can afford it" card.

Anyways, an awesome NFL PLAYOFF GAME is on right now, so I think I'm gonna watch it.

Peace.

Don't You Ever Wonder How the Hell Does Stevie Wonder See Things?

I always feel like January 1st is a bad day to make resolutions for your betterment. So is December 31st. Why?

Because you're freakin' wasted.

Anyways, I decided to wait until the champagne and strange Russian vodka I've never heard of slowly filters out of my system. I even gave myself two days, because apparently my brain needed it. And water. I digress.

Jay's January 3rd New Year's Resolut..

Actually hold on. First let me establish some ground rules for this.

A) I always make a handful of resolutions so I can at least hit one. I'm only aiming for about 30% completion here. But to put it into perspective, Juan Gonzalez only hit .295 for his career, and he won two MVP awards.

Wow, totally irrelevant.

B) Some of these are meant to be very serious; others are supposed to hover in the stratosphere of humor, but are still completely and totally serious.

C) I repeat, I was not drunk when I made this.

D) BTdubs, I'm not sure if you misread the title... but I feel like I need to clear this up. I love Stevie Wonder. I wish he was my father, even if that made me more prone to blindness (I know it wouldn't, but I'm creating an extreme hypothetical here). It's a lyric from a song, and for whatever reason it didn't take shrooms to connect it to this blog post.

E) Official background music: "Good Love" by Sheek Louch. It was the background music in my head for about half of 2008.

Here we go.


Jay's (January 3rd) New Year's Resolutions:

• Stop having to use my back injury as an excuse for just about everything I do. (NOTE: This does not mean that I'm being a bitch about my injury. It really does hurt. I'm just saying I'm finally going to get it fixed, somehow)

• Grow a ridiculously solid mustache. I think I can do it. (NOTE: Spell check is saying that I can't spell the word "moustache". I'm positive you can spell it that way. So you know what? F' it, I will. Moustache. It just looks more chic.)

• Have at least ten different people tell me that they heard a music artist/song from me, not the radio (NOTE: This one is kind of a gimme, I'll admit it. I average at least ten assists a year.)

• Go on some sort of freakin' vacation

• Do at least an hour of community service that isn't attached to an arrest or violation. (NOTE: This sounds ridiculous if you're a good person. And if you're a bad person. For completely different reasons.)

• Stay in touch with all of my close friends.

• Keep going with the blog and continue to make it awesome. And maybe even gain a few new visitors.

• Finally finish my debut rap album with Scott. (NOTE: This is an absolute must.)

• Keep working out and staying healthy.

• Meet anybody on my people I must meet list. The current list stands as: Stevie Wonder, Clint Eastwood, Common, Delonte West, Barack Obama, Al Pacino, Denzel Washington, Megan Fox, Bill Clinton, Forrest Griffin, David Beckham, Wilfred Brimley. Or I'd be satisfied with being on a slap-up-to-half-hug relationship with Turner Gill or J.P. Losman.

• Stop breaking into a really bad version of the robot every time I dance alone (NOTE: Learning how to Robot would suffice.)

• Make official decisions on the following Manlemmas: chest shaving, tanning, listening to Paramore (and Amy Winehouse and John Mayer and Mariah Carey), using smileys in texts/IMs, preferring Franzia boxed wine to Labatt Blue.

• Develop a decent falsetto singing voice. So I can serenade the ladies without embarassing myself.

• Take chances, baby. It's what life's about.
  

Musical Shaystistics

2009

Have a wonderful new year everyone!

I'll be back to make some sort of awesome blog entry tomorrow/very soon.

You Put the Boom Boom Into My Heart

Do yourself a couple favors this morning.

First off, watch this video and feel glad that it's not the 80's anymore. And this one. Yeah, definitely that one.

Second, watch this video and then gasp in horror when you realize that there isn't a single female in it. (Note: Nope, not even in the car.)

Third, just watch this one again just for some laughs. You know you haven't seen it in a while.

Yeah, I just posted four videos and called it a blog post. Maybe I'll post something later...

Sauntering my way out of here...

JS

Don't Bite Me In the Face

I hate wind, too. Thought I'd start with that.

Not a lot to say here. I guess if I'm going to "blog" every day, once in a while there's going a boring one or two. And I'd say this blog is a pretty decent reflection of the exciting-ness of my day. I woke up late, watched football, went to the gym, watched more football, ate, watched more football. Pretty awesome. The best part of all of this is that I would provide some decent football analysis here, but now I'm sick of football.

All of the time in between all of that excitement was spent listening to more 2008 music. I got into two albums for the first time, one from Black Milk and the other by T-Pain. Surprisingly enough, both of them will have songs in my final 50. Yes, say what you will about T-Pain, dude always makes catchy shit. I can't say enough about his entertaining abilities. And I'm not even joking.

Sorry I couldn't make a better post today. In the meantime, listen to a goofy metaphor comparing love to the WWE.

Much love,
Jay

Regardless

This morning I was involved in a car accident. That felt great. Moving on...

First off, if you love 70's soul like I do... go listen to Al Green's new album Lay It Down. It was released this year, but it sounds straight out of a time machine (which is a great thing in this case). I love Mr. Green and I spent way too long not listening to this album. I decided to give it a spin (or click) as I was preparing for my Best of 2008 List (which is still going to be awesome) and boy is it great. I'll conclude this thought by saying that his talking voice is exactly like his singing voice, which is the coolest thing ever.

Wait, did I mention that The Roots did all of the instrumentals for it? And John Legend and Anthony Hamilton are on it?


Okay, moving on. I wish UFC fights weren't so expensive. It has literally become my third sport (behind football and basketball; technically tied with soccer, so 3A, I suppose). As far as my predictions for the night (winners in bold):

Forrest Griffin vs. Rashad Evans
Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs. Frank Mir
Quinton Jackson vs. Wanderlei Silva

Forrest Griffin is my favorite fighter so I'm going to take him no matter what. Frank Mir is a douche-and-a-half so I'm gonna pass on him in favor of "Minotauro". I don't really like "Rampage" or Silva, but I think Silva's last win against Keith Jardine was pretty fluky. Silva hasn't won a match that has gone past the first round since 2005.


I'd just like to point out the fact that if for some reason you accidentally type "jayshayy" into google... this site officially comes up first now! I'm recognized by google! However, if you seperate it into jay shayy, it suddenly does not work. This is unfortunate and will hopefully be changed in the very near future.

Feel free to chill out.

-Jay Shayy

Making Some Footprints

I'm starting to get used to this whole blogging deal. I figure I should at least put something in every day. A lot of the time I figure I have nothing to say... but I seem to BS at least one entertaining thing each time.

Anyways, I spent most of this Christmas Day watching basketball. Orlando - New Orleans was a flat-out blowout (I slept during three quarters of it)... but Phoenix - San Antonio and Boston - Lakers were both very entertaining. Overall, they picked some pretty damn good games for this holiday.

I got Guitar Hero World Tour for Christmas today. Luckily, my 360 is completely fucked, so I couldn't even enjoy the gift. Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait a couple weeks to get back to Buffalo. Regardless, I found a way to remain jolly despite this tragedy.

Most importantly, today I decided to start compiling songs for my (now) annual Best Songs of the Year list (which will be awesome, just check out my 2007 list roughly half a page down). Something strange happened while I was doing this, though. I went through the entire year saying stuff like "music has sucked this year" or "nothing good has come out". Totally wrong. This year's list is gonna be awesome. There were so many great songs this year... I forgot half of them were even in 2008. Needless to say, look for the list very soon, probably right after the new year (since I will be spending the first few days of the new year completely forgetting about the old year).

Holler back,
Jay

Some Christmas Cheer At the Midnight Mark

First off, I wish Christmas Berries were a real berry. It would be absolutely delicious. Really, if I had to marry and candle, I would have no problem with it being Christmas Berries.

Second off, I'd like to clear up a misconception real quick. Anybody who knows me is pretty much under the assumption that my favorite Christmas song of all time is "All I Want For Christmas is You" by Mariah Carey. It is true, I love that song more than air sometimes. And I sing it at the top of my lungs. But actually, I'd like to direct you to "Ave Maria" by Gary Hoey. I'm not a ridiculous fan of traditional versions of the song... but the guitar version he does of it is just beautiful (-1 manliness).

Third... freaking Celtics - Lakers tomorrow are you kidding me so awesome!?! I spent my family Christmas party tonight watching Game 4's in the '85 and '87 Finals just to prepare for it.

Fourth, again, Merry Christmas to everyone. I love you all. Even if I don't know you.

-Jason

I Just Wanted To...

...wish everyone a Happy Holidays, or if you have similar beliefs as yours truly, a more specific Merry Christmas. Everyone else can have the more general greeting of Happy Holidays.

-Jay

P.S. I think I'm finally going to stumble across more free time in the very near future (doesn't change anything about my shitty shitty home Internet connection... though I'll only be here for another couple weeks). Point is, expect more new, awesome blogging in the very near future.

Snow

I hate snow. Easily in the bottom 5 least favorite things in my life right now. I'll try to recount...

JAY'S LEAST FAVORITE THINGS RIGHT NOW:
1. Brett Favre
2. Slow Internet Connection
3. People who love snow
4. Snow
5. The fact that I enjoy that "Just Dance" song

You might ask why the people who love snow are ahead of the snow itself. Clearly, it's because not only have they made a bad decision to like snow, but they also have a complete disregard for the fact that they enjoy something in my top 5 least favorite things.

I just hate being snowed in. I hate driving, I hate snow... so when you combine the two it's just about my least favorite thing ever. Except Brett Favre.

Way too pissed off to write anything coherent or interesting.

So in the meantime read my new favorite blog ever Club Trillion. It's written by like the 15th man of the Ohio State basketball team, and it is absolutely hilarious. This is exactly what I'd be doing if I was put in a barely marginally famous position.

Well...

Well shit. It's been like a week since I checked in. So lets just get back into the swing of my rambling.

Overall, the funniest sports-related story of the year thus far.
Everything about this story makes me laugh, especially the little head-to-head picture lineup they gave. I'm surprised they didn't give some shit like:

Joe Sakic

• 5'11"
• 195 lbs.
• 39 years old
• 2001 Hart Memorial Trophy Winner

Toro CCR 2450 GTS Snowblower

• 4'6"
• 200 lbs.
• 3 years old (refurbished by manufacturer)
• single-stage gas engine

Seriously, you want to feel smarter? Keep reading the sports news:

Derrick Rose needs 10 stitches from cutting an apple

Through and through, Derrick Rose has been my boy since he was playing high school ball. But Jesus y Jose y Maria Christo, REMEMBER THAT YOU LEFT A KNIFE IN YOUR BED!

There we go, I just made a "stupid athletes" section and didn't even say anything about the person whose name rhymes with... Flaxico.


In the meantime, do yourself a favor and listen to my Ultimate 100 Playlist. You're going to love half of it, hate a quarter of it, and get extremely intoxicated off the final 25%. Trust me. Just don't drive after. It's a felony, kids.

Checking Back In

I'm back in Buffalo for the next couple weeks after coming back from break. I was excited to get back, but with this being the end of the semester, things are generally very hectic and basically a pain in the ass.

Anyways, I basically took about 14 naps today around doing school work and such. I only caught one game today, with my Knicks losing to a very deep Portland team tonight at MSG. Chris Duhon and David Lee had great games again, but Portland proved to be too effective. Greg Oden looked like balls on offense, he has ton of work to do in that respect. He tried to dunk on my boy D-Lee in the first period, but back rimmed it and looked rather foolish. Other than that, not much else to note on the game. Tim Thomas looked lazy and tired again... I guess that happens when the other team decides to play defense.

I've been trying to get into a bunch of new music lately, which has actually turned out to be pretty successful. I started listening to Mr. Hudson & the Library (Mr. Hudson appeared on one of my favorite songs on 808 & HeartoTune, "Paranoid"). His voice kinda sounds like Sting's (The Police, not the face-painted wrestler... that'd be pretty funny). The instrumentals are kind of reggae-based, it's pretty chill stuff. He's signed to Kanye's GOOD Music, where 'Ye has already proclaimed him to be the future of music. I'm not going that far at this point, but MH&TL (+1 for abbreviations) has a new album coming out soon and seem to have a pretty bright future. I'd put their top 40 breakout potential at about 65% for the moment.
"Too Late, Too Late"
"Bread + Roses"

Other Stuff You Should Listen To
"I Love College" Asher Roth (dude is funny, maybe trying a little too hard to sound like Eminem)
"She Loves Me So" Anthony Green
"Love Hangover" Kidz in the Hall ft. Estelle

Over and out, long day ahead.
