The first time that I ever remember hearing about Ja Rule was when I was in seventh grade. A friend of mine had a CD of his. I think that there was a picture of him looking pretty hard with a bandana or something. When I first starting hearing his music I got a different impression. Or maybe I heard some earlier stuff first I don't remember. The first stuff I really REMEMBER hearing that song he did with J. Lo (which I heard today and enjoyed).
Sometimes a group of friends would hang out. I would be a part of that group sometimes. We would do lots of cool things like watching cool movies like Breakin' and play cool games like GTA II and lounge in the hot tub and ride around town on skateboards and do cool tricks and film them so we could later add the fish-eye effect with iMovie. We did one skate video called Skatonia I think. And also another one but I don't remember the name. So, sometimes when we were hanging out we would have the cool MTV on. This was during the time period of that Ja Rule hit single that I mentioned earlier. That song is really really good. He also has some other really good songs.
Soon after I started hanging out with another friend. We would have late night sessions after wild and crazy summer days in which we would eat pickles and chips and salsa and other things while we searched for sweet late night television (I promise there is NOTHING sexual about this!!!) Sometimes there were funny movies or television shows or cool music videos. This was around the time of some other Ja Rule hot single with Ashanti. This song was really good also. This led me to believe that Ja Rule was really good. He was funny. He had a great voice and a funny face. He made great duets with top female modern R&B singers.
A few years later another friend of mine made me a copy (because I wasn't yet confident enough to invest in an actual album) of R.U.L.E. I was pretty excited even though the album did not contain any of the hits that I have previously mentioned. I gave it the once over and found it to contain much mediocraty. Sure there are a couple great hits and a few okay b-sides, but the bulk is a rap filler jelly sandwich. There's that hit that he did featuring R. Kelly and Ashanti. I like it okay. Theres also New York I think it's called though it may have Fat Joe. I think there is one other hit and maybe one other good song but the point is I was let down.
I have come to realize that Ja Rule really shines only in duets with ladies or other feminine singers/ artists.

SCENE XX - ELTON'S CAR
"Away" The Cranberries
(Elton is singing along to music. Trying to be sexy, but he fails miserably, the sleazy bastard!)
CHER
Didn't Tai look cute tonight?
(Elton just sings.)
I really love her hair when it's all wild, you know? But it's also very pretty when it's all up, with that curly tendrils. Like in that picture I took.
ELTON
You know, you're one of my best friends and I do not have friends that are girls.
CHER
Well, I'm glad, because your happiness means a lot to me.
ELTON
It does?
CHER
Sure. I mean, I saw how hard your breakup with Collette was.
ELTON
Yeah. I think we both know what it feels like to be lonely.
CHER
Whatever. The thing is, is that I'd really like to see you settled already.
(Elton pulls the car into a parking lot.)
Where are we going?
(The car stops.)
ELTON
I knew it, I knew it.
(Elton makes a pass at Cher.)
CHER
Oooh, you knew what?!
ELTON
That you were totally sprung on me.
CHER
Hello?! Don't you mean Tai?
ELTON
Tai?!
CHER
You have her picture in your locker.
ELTON
I have the picture you took in my locker.
CHER
Ohh, I'm having a twin peaks experience.
ELTON
I knew it, I knew it when you kissed me.
CHER
Suck and Blow is a game, Elton!
(Elton has another go at Cher.)
Stop it!
ELTON
Alright! You know, I don't get you Cher. I mean, you flirt with me all year.
CHER
As if! I have been tryng to get you together with Tai.
ELTON
Tai?! Why would I go with Tai?
CHER
Why not?
ELTON
Why not? Why not?! Don't you even know who my father is?
CHER
You are snob and a half.
ELTON
Cher, listen to me. Me and Tai, I mean, we don't make any sense, right? Me and you, well, makes sense.
(Elton tries for Cher, yet again.)
CHER
Cut it out!
ELTON
C'mon.
CHER
Stop it!
(Cher gets out of the car.)
(Watch Cher compose herself after getting out of the car. i.e. the head movements and sound effects.)
ELTON
Cher?! Where are you going? You're only hurting yourself here, baby. C'mon, you gonna walk home? Would you get back in the car, please? Get back in the car.
CHER
Leave me alone!
ELTON
Fine!
(Elton drives away. What a prick!)
CHER
Hey, where are you going? Shit!

I started a new hardcore band. It's got Daniel Stern on lead vocals. He screams and shrieks and yells things like "Suck brick kid!". Sometimes for the encore he teases his hair and turns into a skeleton while screaming and being electrocuted. We just cut our first record. It's called "Bad Guys Saying they'll kill me". John Williams produced the record.

Matinee
Manager: Cirimele
Floor Staff: Hannum
Attendance: 33
Over/Short: The mask of Zero
Percap: 2.35
-I took a walk down to the local bank. I’m a big advocator of supporting local business. We have to have each others backs in this world where we live. The weather was hotter than it’s been since it turned autumn. I can’t wait for nightfall, until then, I settle for daybreak.
The cast of characters that I had to work with was a bit different than what I was prepared for. I’m sure we are all familiar with the potential catastrophe that this could initiate. A mistake in routine can send a man or woman careening over the edge. I was able to keep my wits and play it cool.
The bank was nicely air conditioned which made my longer than usual stay quite comfortably pleasant.
I quickly scanned the premises for a familiar face. Immediately to my right I spotted Rocio Mendoza. She was wearing brown pants that matched her hair with a touch of class, a nice blouse, some well coordinated high heel open toed shoes and her usual glowing smile. It was a very bank appropriate outfit. It appeared as if she was training a new girl. I can’t wait to see how this one pans out.
As I walked in toward the far corner in order to make my cash transaction, the new girl smiled and said hello. At first, I didn’t know that she was talking to me. It took me a few split seconds to react and mumble my friendliest hello with a head nod that I could.
The line was longer than usual, but still a short one at that. I waited while an interesting couple spoke with the teller that I was going to have to deal with. The husband was in a wheel chair. He had an artificial arm from the elbow on and appeared to be missing a few other limbs as well. I didn’t examine too thoroughly. Frankly it’s impolite and it was none of my business anyhow, plus I had to survey the scene to see what I had to work with.
There was one nice looking young man behind the counter that I’ve worked with before. I believe his name is James but the family name escapes me. He was dressed nicely with a blue long sleeve button up shirt. His hair was appropriately gelled for his big day at the bank.
I looked down the line and saw a Stephanie, not the Stephanie that you might be thinking of, but a Stephanie none the less. There was a Jacqueline somebody and a few other random workers that I did not recognize. To my utter disappointment and surprise Thomas Robinson was no where to be found. I searched inside, outside, front, back, up and down. Nobody gets change like I get change and this changed everything.
It was a usual batch of customers. There was a man that reminded me of somebody that I used to know, but I don’t know him anymore.
Finally a spot cleared up for me to speak with a teller. He asked me if I needed to make a deposit. I told him no and that I was just there to get change. He said that he could help me. I set the blue and rainbow Trafalgar bag on the counter and unzipped the largest pocket in which my goods were currently being held. I pulled out a wad of cash along with the currency/ coin request form and slid them across the counter to the man. He said that he was out of fives so it would be just a minute. He gave me $450 in ones. I didn’t need any quarters. The safe was fully stocked.
I waited. It was no problem. I am a man of leisure.
After a handful of minutes the man returned. He counted out the fives and made the hand off. I slid the cash into the bag, zipped the pocket shut and made for the door.
My walk back was pleasant other than the fact that I was fairly dehydrated with a church quire of frogs smoking fiber glass cigarettes while lounging in my throat.
I made it back just in time to open the doors.

Heeeey Hoooo, I love all of you, put down that camara and have some fun. Blue Velvet what? I love finding things referenced and borrowed from in original works. Something you appreciate, then its influences. Especially when you find that sample. Uncle Buck returnes.

my dog is an asshole. At first I just thought that he had issues. Then, when he was eating some other dogs food I thought maybe he just doesn't have the same sense of personal property, and then I thought about how possessive he is of this house and the people that live in it. I realized he's just an oblivious, arrogant, greedy fool. I mean he's got his sweet qualities too. He totally snarled at me when I was getting furious trying to protect this other dogs food. I duno then he fucked all that trash bag stuff up all over the kitchen. Whatever...

I must have been six years, Tae Kwon Do, the big performance, the big tournamant, the big evaluation. Before I started my routine, they asked me som simple questions, my school, my teacher, all of which I answered in the wrong context. I wonder if they noticed. I didn't realize until later, when it was too late, what they really wanted to know. I still can't live that down in my head.
I was standing next to her, she was standing on top of me
I was standing next to him, he was standing on top of me
I was standing next to them, they were standing on top of me
I'm not breathing efficiently
