Wowzers...

It's pretty late/early, however you wanna look at it. My sleeping habits have been all over the place lately and now I'm knocking out at the most random times. Which is not too bueno when you have things to do. Oh well this happens every couple of months so hopefully it'll pass soon.

Anyways I wanted to let you guys know a few things....

First, let's talk about something amazing. It's called a Reese's Cookie and it looks like THIS:




If you haven't had one, GO GET ONE. It's fucking awesome, it's basically a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup with the bottom of an Oreo Cookie inside of it. It's my own dream come true and a diabetic's worst nightmare. At a dollar for 4 cookies it is soooo worth it. After you cop them tell me what you think odds are you will agree and most likely have a chocolate stain/ ring somewhere on your person. Thank me later for your new addiction.

On the musical side of things...well let's break it down as always.

I. I've been SLOWLY working on my album. Still untitled at the moment and probably won't have one for a long time with the pace I seem to be moving at.
On the production tip, out of the 60+ beats made for the album only 10 are gonna be on it. Out of those 10 beats, 2 haven't been made yet.

On the writing side of things I have 5 1/2 songs done for the album, number 6 still needs some touching up before I can say it's complete. So we're looking at me being a little over halfway done with it. No notable guest spots yet but they could happen somewhere on the other 4 remaining tracks so who knows.

II. I've also been working diligently on the Lost Arts Project. Eddie was able to drop by earlier last week and we knocked out another 3 tracks. Which brings us to about 10 at the moment. I figure after another two sessions we should be ready to start writing and from there we can decide what stays and what gets scrapped. So stay tuned for that because for the last month this project has been getting most of my attention with regards to the mixing and editing of the tracks. It'll be here sooner than you think...

III. "Willie Beats Off". It's now an EP from what I understand and it'll drop whenever it happens. The beats are in WilOne52's hands and as soon as he has the time to make it happen you will all hear some truly ill and unique hip hop. It's probably the most diverse bunch of beats you'll ever hear produced by me on one album. It's supposed to be something like 6 tracks and yes, "Console Wars" WILL be on there, for those of you who like to have things in the physical form. If you don't care though and want it now, it's been on the page for months. So download it. Oh wait........ I FORGOT.
MYSPACE KILLED THE DOWNLOAD OPTION!

The Bullshit On Health

So I don't normally rant but when it comes to my food it's time to throw down. I haven't done battle with a fast food chain since almost exactly 4 years ago to the date. It was at that time my favorite fast food chain Jack In The Box decided to get rid of quite possibly the best FAST FOOD fries in the game. They opted for the healthier, tastier, "natural cut" fries. Needless to say they tasted like cardboard and made your mouth dry and were extremely salty but lacking the necessary amount of grease a fast food side order needs to combat it. So I called corporate and threw down, said I was never going back unless they changed the fries and explained that I go to a FAST FOOD restaurant to get FAST FOOD. They apologized and said they would pass the message on. I was very surprised when 3 days later there was a message on my phone from Jack In The Box corporate asking me to call them back so we could talk some more. This continued for about 3 more calls, in the end the fries stayed and I have yet to go back to a Jack In The Box and purchase anything. I found a decent substitute in Carl's Jr, and the new marriage was bliss until a week a half ago.....



VS.



I walked in with my family ready to order my usual, Double Western Combo Large Fries and Drink. To my surprise as soon as I stepped inside I was bombarded with advertisement about their new "NATURAL CUT" fries. It instantly became summer '04 all over again. I asked the cashier if they still had the regular fries and she informed THESE were the regular fries. I kindly said thank you and good bye. I waited a few days and let my anger settle a bit, then my dad went to Carl's and came back with food and I was back in throw down mode. So I took it upon myself to call them up today just as I had done with Jack In The Box and make my presence known. Where we go from here, I do not know but I can guarantee I can hold out longer than they can on this war.

The health kick this country is on has gotten to the point where it is now interfering with my personal life. I did not ask for you the fast food company to make your food healthier. I go there looking for a cheap, greasy, and filling meal. Once you give me something on par with a real restaurant-what reason do I have to be a patron at your establishment? The person to blame for all of this?

Morgan Spurlock. Learn to eat like a man you douchebag.

Yes, this asshole single-handedly ruined my eating life with one movie. Morgan, is it my fault you eat like a bitch and can't finish a full supersize combo from McDonald's? No, so why are you penalizing me for it? Thanks to you I can't go to McDonald's and get a Bucket O' Fries anymore, I can't supersize my meal, my chicken nuggets have real chicken breast in them now and it's all costing me as a result. I have to buy a side order of small fries along with my meal in order to get the same result as a super size thus an extra dollar is added onto my meal instead of 49 cents. I'm getting sidetracked though, the point is as a result of his movie and McDonald's pussing out, Jack In The Box punked out 6 months later and started introducing items like the ill-fated panini, while getting rid of the famous teriyaki bowl at the same time. Now here we are 4 years later and the damage is still not done.

If you want to join the fight and help keep fast food in fast food restaurants all it takes is a call to Carl's Jr's corporate number. Let them know you're not down with the new fries and that you enjoy the crispy greasiness that was the old fries.
