Today was slow and easy going. Just the way I like it. I got a chance to finalize my Portfolio so that I can plug in the content. After that, its all down hill from here. I plan to go to Office Depot and buy out all of their stock of print media. (LOL!) I have business cards and resumes’ to print. Not to mention “leave behinds” (which are some postcard-like printouts of my work). But enough of that, I want to talk about the VMAs.

Ok. Compared to last year, this year SUCKED. It was completely BORING.
First of all, the advertisements were pretty much good. They also boasted the appearence of Dave Chappelle. For those who don’t know about Dave Chappelle, he is a VERY good comedian. He has his own show on Comedy Central with his name on it; “The Dave Chappelle Show“. If you have not seen that show, you MUST witness it. You will be definitely hooked on it after the first skit that he does….

The last show I seen Dave Chappelle do was about “The Racial Draft“. Don’t get me wrong, he’s not a racist. He just makes fun of it all. BUT the skit that he opened the show with was a parody of the Samuel Adams beer commercial. If you didn’t see one then you don’t watch television at ALL. The scene opens up as a resturant scene, and these four people sit down at a table. The waiter asks them what do they want to drink. One guy says that I want a Samuel Adams. The second guy agrees with him and asks for the same thing. The fourth guy asks for a “Samuel Jackson” and the third guy want’s one too. Now by that time I am laughing with tears because I know what’s coming. Out of the blue they switch the screen to Dave Chappelle wearing a Samuel Adams costume. Now I am really laughing and my voice drops because it was so funny! He says, “a’m Samuel Jackson dammit and this is maaa BEER! Bitches!”. I could not stop laughing, this was sooooo funny. Now by this time, he appears in the resturant at that very table asking the guy how he likes the beer in the usual Samuel Jackson impression. The guy asks him why is he so loud. He says, “aa’m Samuel Jackson got dammit. This is the WAY Aaa TALLK! Haven’t you seen maa MOVIES!” I still laugh out loud when I think about this skit because its sooo on the money. Then he says, “Aaa Was ATE by aa SHARK, Aaa Was a JEDI MASTER, and Aaa was almost blown to bits with Bruce Willis!” NOW do you get it…..Samuel L. Jackson for those who hasn’t caught on by now. Dave Chappelle was even wearing that off beat jherri curl wig that he wore in Pulp Fiction. The last part of this skit, he was back where he was before sitting next to a “Samuel Jackson” beer bottle. He says, “Yess this is Maa beer dammit! Maa Name is on the bottle! AND yess, Aaa Killed the son uvaa bitches and they DESERVE to BURN IN HELL!” That is an obvious quote by now if you still don’t get it. Sooooo funny!

The commercial said that Dave Chappelle was going to host the awards show but he was NO WHERE TO BE FOUND for the first couple of hours. Anyway, I was disappointed of the nominations. A lot of them went to D12, the rap group staring Eminem. Their album was NOT all that good and the SAME video kept popping up. My GAWD it was funny but it was not all that good. Some artists got their well deserved awards, Like Outkast. They took a chance with the solo double albums that they released and it payed off big time. One of the silly things they did was get Bush’s and Kerry’s daughters to present an award. On top of that, they got Jennifer Lopez’s new boyfriend to present a performer DIRECTLY infront of P. Diddy; her Ex boyfriend.
P. Diddy by the way is sporting a mohawk once again and was on a rampage promoting his “Vote or DIE” campaign; specifically against Bush.

I got word that this compaign was spawned by Laura Bush, the first lady. The plan was, she was to appear at the African American business “something or another” convention( can’t remember the name of it). AND before she got there, she specifically requested that she not meet or take pictures with P. Diddy; the owner of an NBA team and the famous Bad Boy Records. Well because of that, P. Diddy did not show up for it and instead went on public television promoting his new “Vote or DIE” compaign.

One of the nice performances was Alicia Keys, and Stevie Wonder. Lenny Kravitz was up there performing too. Though he cut his hair again and he had NO shirt on with what looked like a dead Owl on his back with the wings spread. Anyway, it was pretty much boring until the end when Dave Chappelle FINALLY appears to do the farewell speech of Jay-Z’s retirement in the music industry. He does a little thing with this guy. And tells a joke about how MTV got him a farewell watch. He called this guy out and says that they found him outside pushing them on the street. He told Jay-Z that he could take any one of the watches that he wanted. The audience laughed. The guy was smiling alot and happily shook Dave’s hand. Dave said, “Your famous. I hate you now, get out of my face.” People laughed and they did the usual dedication video crap. Though the last performers were Outkast. One of the members was wearing an Ascot and a beret with NO shirt on and a guitar singing one of his songs. We laughed because it was insanely funny and he’s known for pulling crazy stunts.
…oh well, that’s enough for me. I might just rent a couple of games this weekend to relax myself and keep from burning out from all of the work that I have to finish.
