It started on Friday with an unexpected phone call and 2 minutes later I was in possession of 2 Lakers tickets, directly under the basket. Thank you, KB! Kobe scored 41 and became the youngest to 24,000 points. After the game we ate at Katsuya. The sushi was great but the service needs some work. I guess they were too busy taking care of Pau as he sat at a *very* nearby table.

6:30am the alarm blared as I got up on Saturday and headed to Arcadia. Oak Tree Park at Santa Anita was the home of this years Breeders cup. From 9am till 4pm I watched and played in 10 races. To many that seems like a very long day, but to any racing fan, that’s nothing. You watch a race, make your picks for the next race, get some food & “drank” and head back to your seat to watch another race.  With low wagers and big payouts, it’s a great way to spend a day and unwind.

H to the izzo. V to the izz A. Hova was at UCLA last night and my sister, a UCLA student, was awesome enough to hook up the tickets last minute. I’ve seen N.E.R.D before and I can honestly say they have gotten worse. I like Pharrell and I really wish someone would tell him to just stop it. There is no need for him to be in a band that sounds like hatebeak rehearsing. Hova was as good as any live hip hop act gets. His stage was sick and his set list mirrored the Madison Square Garden concert on 9/11/09. A blond Rihanna took the stage during Run This Town and performed a new track off of her upcoming album.

In other weekend news the Giants lost their 4th straight but the Lakers won their 5th straight. 4 straight losses in the NFL is unacceptable…but that’s for another post. I’m too tired right now to go into. I need vacay just from this past weekend.

@ Game 2 of the World Series

I give this album 4.5 mics and 9 blunts of Super Sky OG

“I dont give a fidduck, abbibout the riddate
you used to move, what you used to do
And i dont give a fidduck abbibout the bitches
that you used to screw but your future do
And we dont really care what you used to say
unless that effects your future pay
Im on a practice field running two-a-days
so i dont drop the ball when its threw my way
I dont give a fidduck, abbibout the shit that
you probably did who you probably is
The only time i deal in past tense
is im past rims and im past tints
If you driving it, i drove it,
if you got it, cause i sold it
you copped it, i bought it back
we dont give a fidduck n*gga we off that”

In other music news:

• Despite all the rumors and talk of not recording another *LP*, Radiohead is dropping an EP, today. Wall of Ice
• Wu Tang’s Chamber Music is all mostly brand new material.
• Jay Z’s Blueprint 3 comes out 9/11. Everything I have heard so far has been great.

Kanye kills it. I’m still unsure about the rest of it.
