Blakroc with Jim Jones and Mos Def - Ain’t Nothing Like You (Hoochie Coo)
Jim Jones is cool.

This George Mikan rookie card went for $186,000 in an auction. He used to ball in reading glasses and basketball players used to wear belts back in the day. That’s gangster.
I think anybody who has ever played basketball did the Mikan Drill at least once a practice.

50 Cent - Then Days Went By
Fif’s new album, Before I Self Destruct, really isn’t all that bad. I mostly say that because if I say otherwise I’m afraid he’d read my blog, track me down and take my girl to Gucci to buy her furs and leathers. Seriously though, it is a pretty good album that’s on par with Get Rich or Die Tryin’.
It’s pretty easy to like 50 Cent, especially if you watch too many of his interviews. Like the one with Funkmaster Flex where he explains his beef with nearly everyone on the planet, why he put Kelly Rowland on a song and his relationship with Vivica. Or the one with Howard Stern where he briefly explains why he doesn’t like YouTube and goes with VEVO instead. Or the appearance on Jimmy Fallon where he talks about banking $400MM when Vitamin Water was sold to Coca-Cola. ”Kids don’t want water or vitamins. I’m just so cool that it worked,” he says.
The best thing I’ve read about him lately is that he wants to put Susan Boyle on a song and take her clubbing. Part of me thinks he’s joking about that, but the other 90% of me is pretty sure he’s serious. Why? Because 50 is the best self-promoter on the planet and he is all about making that money.
Also, did you know that Eminem is the best-selling artist of this decade?
Ready to Exercise? Check Your Watch - NYT
But, it turns out, a small group of researchers has studied the question of exercise performance and time of day, even doing studies of heart rates. And not only are performances better in the late afternoon and early evening, but, contrary to what exercise physiologists would predict, heart rates are also higher for the same effort.
Dr. Reilly and his colleague Jim Waterhouse, in a review published this year, also noted that athletes’ best performances, including world records, were typically set in the late afternoon or early evening.
“Most components (strength, power, speed) of athletic performance are worst in the early hours of the morning,” he wrote in an e-mail message. “Ratings of perceived exertion during exercise have generally been found to be highest in the early morning.”
This is why I always push weight after work. More efficient heart and lungs, looser muscles, laziness.
Forget all the fancy gifts this Christmas, all I really want is a coffee mug warmer.
Does anyone remember the episode of Seinfeld where Jerry buys a coffee mug warmer as a gift for some woman? Some other guy bought her a Mercedes, but all she could talk about was the mug warmer. I think it was Seinfeld who bought it, although it could have been Costanza. Did I dream this? Am I high right now?
Anyway, the internet has failed me so far in my search.
