My "Best of 2011...."

Image
It's that time of year when everyone is posting up their " Best of " lists so why should I be any different? I hope mine delivers some more insight into what I'm all about and what goes on in my world, cyber and real. Some of these ideas and mentions have been in my head for a while now and I'm pretty sure I have also forgotten a bunch of stuff but to hell with it. Below you'll find a mix of the materialistically shallow as well as the personal deep and meaningful. As Kel (from Kenan and ) would say, " Ah here goes !" Movie You know as much as I love going to the movies there just isn't the time, or at least we don't make the time. That's speaking about grown up movies. We've made an effort to start taking the kids on a Saturday morning to see such gems as Cars 2 and Mr Popper's Penguins. The kids don't yet have as much love for the cinema experience and prefer DVDs at home but we'll keep trying in 2012. (note th...

2011 brought Hip Hop back to my heart. This seems appropriate for that, although inappropriate for the actual season. Enjoy and much love. -Bossman75

BENCH!

Great game last night, made even better by the company of family and friends. We deserved something more but it wasn't to be. Love this photo of a bright young star of ours after the game. He's always showed his passion for the club and fans. And he hilarious on Twitter when not chirpsin' girls. I don't feel too strongly about the departure of Nasri. His contract came to an end and he got a pay rise if you look at it from a business point of view. But football is not a business to the supporters. It's not life or death, it's more important than that. Many players could do well to remember that and choose how they behave and what they say wisely. Ultimately we are their bosses and sign their cheques. Act accordingly. -Bossman75

@Jokerbrand tweeted this image from @millerphoto1 this morning. Great use of the Damien Hirst diamond and platinum SKULL . Very intense eyes from the model Dani. Photo shot by Rankin. Stare at it for a bit, then close your eyes........... -Bossman75

I want to say a big THANK YOU to @TheRealStanLee and @Jon_Favreau for the movie IRONMAN .  This movie is spectacularly awesome each and every time I watch it. OK so Pepper Potts never does get her milkers out but hey we get everything else we could ask for. I've had a great Sunday. FAMILY FIRST . Exercise (ran 5k), Sport (Cowboys destroyed Buffalo. Eagles and Redskins lost, Giants losing currently) and movies (erm read above). Really how much better does it get? Oh yeah, Pepper Potts' boobs. Please note I am not a Gwyneth Paltrow fan,  norks out or not. (NSFW) Had a busy week. Amazing gig Monday night. Carhartt presented RHYMESAYERS . I was there to see @Evidence and came away desperate to hear more Brother Ali and Grieves & Budo. Outstanding. Rekindled my love for Hip Hop. Again. Happy to be able to say that. Actually what impressed me the most was the sound in Camden's Electric Ballroom . Hip Hop gigs have a tendency to disappoint with shitty so...

"Whatchu talkin' 'bout Wednesday" #1

♦♦♦New Feature!♦♦♦ I keep meaning to blog on a more regular basis and this might help that. Just a couple things I've caught online or where ever that sparked my interest and maybe yours too, each and every Wednesday. News that Stussy will be releasing a Beavis and Butt-Head capsule in November featuring tees and sweatshirts. Details can be found on the likes of Freshness Mag  but you're here for my opinion right? I loved Beavis and Butt-Head. I am now almost thrity-six and I would be more than happy to show my love of the show, creator Mike Judge and what MTV used to be about (actual music) by wearing something from this release. Course I would like to actually see the designs but I'm sure previews are just around the corner. I do not want to miss out and be all grumpy later, like I was when I missed the Mr Cartoon Spiderman tee in the Marvel collaboration. Pah! Next up a London showing of " GIRLS ON BIKES " by INSA. I viewed th...

BASS FOR YOUR FACE LONDON

Image
"Let me hear you make some noise!" I'm happy to say that I have tickets for November 9th at Jamm Brixton to see DJ Muggs. It's a dubstep night and there's a host of other DJs in attendance but all I care about is seeing the big man himself, oh and the little fact that my brother is coming with me. It marks our first night out since he's moved to England and I can't wait to spend some time with him. Muggs is promoting his new album BASS FOR YOUR FACE and is touring Europe with DJ Q-bert who I would have loved to see also, but alas he is not able to make the date. Rather that be disappointed I am really happy that Muggs was able to find time to sneak this unplanned spot in his schedule. I've never been to Jamm, and I have never experienced a Dubstep club night. DJ Solo is cursing me out right now! But having been a fan of Muggs' work since the early 90s I know I'll like what I hear. I applaud him for cont...
