Safe Sex!!

So I randomly ran across this commercial....Probably the funniest thing I've seen in 09 so far....."Safe sex is great sex, better wear a latex, cuz you don't want that late text, that I think I'm late text"......

 

Pavement Scuffs

Yo, I'm not a fan of boat shoes,  or whatever you wanna call em, but these are fresh. I just might invest in a pair.

Stay Classy Barcelona

I loved everything about Barcelona. Hands down, it has been my best experience outside of the US borders. The scenery was spectacular, weather was nice, and the people were really nice ( I was kinda surprised). Only negative, I CAN'T speak Spanish! I've got so many stories that I don't even know where to  begin. Drinking flaming shots, hoping over the train tracks in the Barcelona metro (crazy I know), talking to females who couldn't understand what I was saying, partying to the sun came up, and so much more.

So you probably like, why in the HELL did you jump over train tracks?!?....So here's what happened, me and my homeboy Randall was stumbling down to the metro after our first night there, like 2am....We ended up walking to the  wrong ramp, which would have put us on the train heading the wrong way. So Randall had a genius idea, he said " Yo Tay, why don't we just hop over the tracks to get to the other side"( in his drunk Cali voice), and I'm like, " Hell yea, great idea"(I'm so stupid)... mind you we could have just walked back up the ramp and over to the other ramp to get to the other side, but for some reason that night it seem as if that would have took forever....So we jump down into the tracks, walk over the tracks and hopped up the other side...retarded right? 

I've go so many more stories from that trip, but it would take forever to type them all, I guess you just gotta catch me around to get the rest, but I will leave you with some video footage from my trip.....PS Don't drink a flaming shot until the fire is completely gone.....

UK Clubbing

In every club I've been to here in London I've heard these same songs over and over. Honestly, they are really starting to grow on me.

So I saw a really fat pigeon yesterday and it was limping pretty bad. Mind you, I really hate these flying rats but as I watched the pigeon try to walk, I started to feel pretty bad for it. 

Thats All.......

Not Your Typical Circus

Cirque Du Soleil (Circus Sol-lay) is an extraordinary arrangement of some of the most breathtaking feats I've ever seen. No lions, tigers and bears here. Just amazing performances and very funny clowns (not your typical clown by the way) performing brief comical sketches in between acts. I think there was a story line behind the show, but I didn't quite catch on to it. None the less it was still a great show whether you catch it or not. One other aspect of Cirque Du Soleil that I enjoyed was the fact that there was a live band playing throughout the night for each act. They played some pretty cool music. Regardless of your feelings about the circus, clowns, etc; Cirque Du Soleil is a must see for any and all ages. After all, it's not your typical circus.

Tourist Moments: Paris

Paris

Just got back from Paris........I kinda got mixed feelings about my trip there.

The Positives:

-Paris is an absolutely beautiful city. The Eiffel Tower, The Arc de Triomphe, and The Notre Dame Cathedral are all some of the most amazing structures I've ever seen in my life. (Quick FYI, I've always thought the Eiffel Tower was black....Nope, wrong, it's brown). I thought the entire design of the city was pretty cool. You probably won't be able to tell from the pictures, but I thought it was crazy how one round-about would have like 10 different streets you could turn off on.

-Getting around in Paris wasn't that hard. They have a really good train system, and it's real easy to understand (as long as you know the stop you wanna get off at). I was worried about getting lost in Paris at first, but I never did because it was so easy to get around.

-French women are GORGEOUS..wait gorgeous maybe a bit much...how about very pretty. I saw women working in restaurants, working at the museum, and cleaning restrooms who I thought could all be on model status.

-(Disclaimer: This one is not really a positive or negative, it all depends on the person) Paris is for LOVERS. PDA is everywhere. Restaurants, museums, bars, the streets, the stores, EVERYWHERE. Not just holding hands either; I'm talking, kissing (the french kind of course), feeling on each other, I mean stuff I don't see in the streets of Greensboro or the DMV.

The Negatives

-The first day I was there it snowed. This also happened to be the same day I went to the top of the Eiffel Tower. I was cool to be at the top, but it was cold as fcuk(cool people get it) at the top. Plus I really could see anything off in the distance.

-French people's personalities SUCK. Not all, but a lot of them. For some reason I can't understand they don't like Americans that much and they don't like speaking English. They are more willing to work with you if you attempt to speak french though. I guess that one year of french I took in high school did pay off.

-For the first time ever in my life I was denied entry to a club. After looking stuck for like 10 seconds I was like.. WTF, these mutha_____racist as______ , and I was ready to let them know how I felt whether they understood what I was gonna say/gesture or not. Then I was like wait, I'm not tryna to 1. Catch a mean a$$ whoopin by security with no one to back me up and 2. get locked up abroad. Then I saw more people that I was with (people of European decent aka not black people) turned away too. The reason we didn't get in turned out to be because we where American guys, speaking English. I'm still pretty mad about that.

All and all the trip was OK, and I wouldn't mind going back.

Cool..

Just a really cool song that I've been singing in my head for the past few days, and yes it is the N.E.R.D - Everyone Nose beat. O yea...look at what they do to the shoe boxes at the end....crazy

It Means No Worries

Simba, Mufasa,Nala,Rafiki, Timon & Pumbaa, all characters in my favorite movie of all time. I'm just getting back from seeing The Lion King Musical and if I had to describe it in one word -ASTONISHING. The special effects, AMAZING. The costumes, BREATH-TAKING. The characters literally exploded out of their human forms and each animal was accurately portrayed to a tee. I laughed, cried, and sang along to each and every song. I'm still in dis-belief over how such a classic story could be illustrated over such a small stage. It was truly an experience that I'm going to remember forever. I even managed to sneak a few pictures of the show. Hakuna Matata-it means no worries.......

O yea....Zazu stole the show in my eyes.....

Lost in translation.....

Since I've been over here, I feel as though I haven't completely been myself. The only time I felt like the real Tay B was when my friend was here. I think that may just be it; I don't have any of my true friends experiencing this with me. Don't get me wrong, I've met some pretty cool people and all, but I find myself taking a more quit and observant role rather than my usual out-spoken demeanor. I guess it's just one of those things that's going to help me grow as a person, so I'm taking it all in stride.

Super Sunday !

So it's Superbowl Sunday and it's not a big deal here in London (kinda sucks), but I definitely will be watching to game somewhere. The only thing more important than the Superbowl today is the Superbowl commercials, and I won't get to see them (lame). In celebration of all the great commercials I'll be missing today, I decided to post one of my favorite commercials from 08'. Enjoy...
