Dave Nguyen

This blog is about the chillest bro I know.

No one is a better sk8r than this guy, no one....

Dave Nguyen goes to college at Cal, and sadly enough, they aren't ranked in football this year. Dave Nguyen played inside linebacker (in a 3-4 scheme) and OG his senior year at Huntington Beach High School.  He also played running back and outside linebacker in his career.  He holds the single game interception record for ILB with 2.  He also holds more sandbags than anyone I know.  He was rumored to have cleaned 140kg and snatched 100kg before a terrible shoulder injury sophomore year. He now participates in Ultimate Frisbee (the chillest sport), and the occasional run around campus. He plans on graduating and ballin outta control.  He is one of my best friends, and we apparently look like twins.  Thats it for this blog. Find david at www.davidnguyenwantstwocds.com

Wale is the new Weezy

So I was recently introduced to the D.C. native Wale. D.C., for those of you who may not know, has some of the worst hip hop I have ever heard.

Take for instance, Tabi Bonney:

That being said, Wale is the shit. He brings the lyrical fluidity and creativity of Lil Wayne, the swagger of Kanye West, content that is comparable to Lupe and Nas, and a style that is all his own. He dropped a mixtape entitle "A Mixtape About Nothing".  It follows the layout of Seinfeld, including an "Opening Title Sequence" and "The End Credits". He uses audio clips from the show, there is a Cameo by the Elaine character, and he uses an audio sample of Kramer's infamous comedy club incident involving "Afro Americans".  He plays well off of all of the samples, and he has some insanely tight verses:

I'm, the best, even when I'm cynical.

Angle these beats like a pentagon whenever my pen is on, aint nothin here minimal.

Countin my bread, my account like a brunch at a synagogue.

Get it yall? Thats a whole lot of bagels. See me out in the bay at San Quin in a beige coup.

A very bad man, you can ask Babu.

I get Seinfeld, with these rhyme skills i'm Larry David.

Give me my paper, this a cosmo like Jerry Seinfeld's neighbor.

My Costanzas stand like Phantoms and Maybachs, you won't get a lane if you can't whack.

I hate rap like Kramer hate blacks, still those no label that Wale aint passed.

And now i'm in the lead though, and everybody gassed...

Yeah, that shit is kinda tight. His album has songs that talk about nothing, songs that talk about race, songs that talk about women, songs that talk about DC, everything.  If you have talked to me in the past 9 months, you know I think there is no one out there better than lil wayne, however, I may have to crown a new king of lyrics. Anyways, keep reading the blog. Holla.

Sandbaggin

Recently I was asked to go for 24 hours without saying the word sandbaggin.  Why, you may wonder, would someone ask me to stop saying such a strange word for such a long amount of time? Because, I say sandbaggin much more than most people you know. What, you may ask, does sanbaggin even mean?

Sandbaggin(g): 

(1) Sandbagging is an actual term used for people who sell themselves short on purpose, usually in sports. I.E. A bowler gives him or herself a large handicap even though they are good.

(2) Holding someone back.

(3) Wasting time.

Sandbagger

(1) A person who holds back others. I.E. If you are at a party and one of your friends decides to stay and try to get another drink even though everyone else wants to leave.

(2) A person hitting on someone. I.E. If you go out to eat at in and out, and your friend decides to flirt with the cute cashier and holds up the line.

(3) Someone who talks shit. I.E. a person who doesn't want another person to hook up with someone, so they talk shit on said other person.

(4) A derogatory term for someone that you may or may not be friends with. I.E. wow, you are a f*ckin sandbagger.

(5) Someone who fills bags with sand. I.E. I need some sandbaggers, because i need more bags of sand.

(6) Personal Choice. I.E. "you are a sandbagger" "why?" 'just because."

So to all you sandbaggers out there, stop sandbagging and let me live my life!!!!
