Study Breaks.

Number 2 pencils sharpened.  A thin film of Eraser dust covers the workspace.  A never ending, and ever changing Bambu/Paper Cuts album carries through the background.  Facebook and Youtube are more or less being left to the wayside.  The same t-shirt starts to see more than a few days of wear in a row. All nighters are so lame. Lucky for you though, I have decided to take a break from my studying so that I can share a little gem I found.

Ever wonder what classic tv sitcom themes would sound like if they were all sampled and cut up into nice little hip hop beats? No? well shit...here it is anyway.

The "Small Wonder" and "Macgyver" beats go hard.

7th Season

Well hello. Guess who just hit the 50 posts mark...
If you are just hopping back onto the blog for the first time in a few days than you missed some monumental posts as far as length is concerned. So go back and read if you were too lazy to do it the first time around. Reading is essential.


So Sunday evenings usually bring about feelings of utter horror for just about any person. It marks the end of the beautiful phenomenon known as the weekend and a return to the back and fourth shuffle to and from work or classes for the next five days. Well, now-a-days these Sundays are arguably Sundays of an entirely different breed. Entourage, the HBO original series centering around the life of fictional Hollywood star Vinny Chase is coming back with its 7th season to tie up any loose ends from the 6th season.

I’m not going to write about how great of a show Entourage is, how hilarious Ari Gold’s antics were in the past episode, or how just incredibly amazing Sloan seems to look every time she graces the screen. All of that is well and good but it’s being repeated on just about every entertainment blog across the internet. Let’s take the more Away Team approach of things and look at something two shades deeper.

There is an immediate draw about Entourage. From the first episode you find yourself watching-whether it be season the first or the last, you will be immediately drawn into the fairy tale like existence lead on by the motley crew of New York born brothers. It’s that draw that always attracted me to Enourage. The characters, the plot lines, the ladies, the homes it is all of the a fore mentioned that creates this mythical world of being that any man in their right mind would hop into without second thought. It’s the lifestyle that attracts. The idea that you could possibly leave the parents house in which you live and be transplanted into a Hollywood mansion where women of Playboy center speads fall into your lap all while eating every meal at LA’s finest restaurants is a lifestyle second to none. The selling of that lifestyle is what Entourage does best. Anyway, I can't wait to see what happens..
