Sick Pigeon

I had this up in my Facebook account but it was kicked out. I had the Danny Elfman soundtrack for the movie Edward Scissorhands. Therefore, there.. the soundtrack is of Danny Elfman.

I tried to shun this pigeon away with a flashlight for trespassing and pooping. But this pigeon just stood there. Even as I get closer and closer.. this pigeon stood still until the sun rises from 3am...

Remembering 911

List of Victims from September 11, 2001
Based from resources I got online, with factual details. And not as shady or full of paranoia than what I sense from other sources. There are several of them, which doesn't make much sense. One example is the Tourist Guy where he has a photo of himself on top of one of the tower seconds before the impact of an American Airline Airplane. Turned out the tourist guy is well and alive somewhere in Brazil.

This is as authentic as I can quickly research about 911. Anything else could be about this Tourist Guy…

Audio CDs, Tapes, and LPs Collection.

It started out just to avoid the janitor from work before clocking out in the morning. The guy would grunts while I am writing my reports (security guard). And the worst part, bangs garbage cans and keeps on dropping plastic cups to paper cups. Sounds really irritating. I tried talking to him to maybe not to bang stuff too much, but the janitor is def. I don't want to get close to him either, and tap his shoulder. He sorta looks like a giant Gremlin or that one farmer possessed by alien cockroach from the movie Men in Black part one. I suspect he knows I'm getting irritated by it. In fact, I don't even think his def at all. Well what ever he is. I don't like it. So I use my studio headphone with earplugs in my ears before I clock out. Thats when these audio collections come to play. As I listened to my the tracks, I notice I needed some upgrade to my iPhone tracks. So I dig through my CD collections and planned to only import few CDs to my MacBookPro's iTunes, and make few playlists. Playlist for my truck, to listen to while driving. And playlists for my iPhone's iPod, to listen to at some stores or when walking at the park. But since I can't really make up my mind which CDs to use. I decided to just import my whole collections of CDs (around 300). Most of the CDs though are of my brothers. R&B, Pop, and Gansta Rap from the 90's. There are several classics, that I like. Bands like the Cool and The Gang, The Jets, Troop, even Baby Face. In fact some of that collection, I can probably use as samples later on, to add them unto my beat. I usually start from scratch with synthesizers, but why not give some of that a shot later on (sampling). Most of the collections I had, I sold away to Streetlight Record and Rasputin back in 2001 when I was broke. From Tapes to CDs mostly SKA, Reggae, Electronicas, Classic Pop, Alternatives.. Not much of a Rap music fan. I did like typical hip-hop though like the Wu-Tangs, Outkasts, Beastie Boys, as well as Method Man, Afrika Bambaataa, Rage Against the Machine, Cypress Hills, and so on and so forth. Anything that B-Boys can dance unto mostly. My little brother's Dirty South Crunk Rap collections isn't so bad either. Rappers like Trillville, Lil Scrappy, and Cash Money Millionaires. Almost funny how they are aloud to take over the radio. Like Hill Billy Farmers slash Pirates, sounding like the Pantera slash Prodigy of Rap Music, than the typical Low Rider Gangsta West-Coast Style Rap Music.

Okay, now back to the collection project. Since I am sorta poor at the moment. Most of my collections will be used and cheap. Maybe few new once but that I'll do by downloading them in iTunes (cheaper). Most likely, I be buying them in CDs later on when it gets old. Therefore, collecting Cassette Tapes is a must. Plus Cassette Tapes I can digitally convert unto Wav to MP3 files. The rest are LPs and of course CDs. No 8 tracks.



Oh man… time flies… lol! I felt like a kid at a candy shop the last time I went to Streetlight Records and Rasputin. Along with my cousin (Jay-Z fan). Bought me several used CDs and Cassette Tapes in a short amount of time. 7 CDs and 7 Cassette Tapes.

Some cool audio cassette tape collections from Youtube. I be happy recording some of it unto MP3 files all day.


Like I said, I will collect some. But not to the point like how this man does to his 8 track collections. Worth visiting his collections and thats about it. I think his from the Bay Area.

Giant Crocodile Captured in the Philippines

Yesterday, my brother told me about a giant crocodile that they captured alive from the Philippines. Then showed me a video online. I didn't even know we had crocodiles. If we did, it would of probably been made unto a Sinigang (philippines soup based dish - mostly fish as main ingredients along with tamarind and vegetables.. hmmmm). Philippines don't have swamps. Philippines have many lakes, creeks, and rivers. Lakes are usually massive but never heard of having any crocodiles in them. They have other type of Lizards though, like the Monitor Lizard. Similar like the Komodo Dragons but just not as big. Back as a kid in the Philippines, farmers used to warn kids that the Monitor Lizard would spit toxic at you or whip their tails. Kids would sometimes used their sling shots to keep them away or when kids are just behaving badly with their sling shots (ehem)… Anyways, they also posed it on Facebook and seen it later that night. Which was last night. Amazing find. 21 feet long man. And it looks massive as well. Reminds me of the movie Lake Placid . I wonder if that 21 feet long croc does the same. Damn, where the hell did that thing have been hiding. Philippines don't even have coral life in every beaches anymore. All probably been cleaned away from dynamites. All the mussels and other shell fishes has probably been instinct (sarcasm). And to find something that massive out of the blue? Maaan there's got to be some UFO having fun with this. It also probably swam all the way from Australia to Philippines? There are also the Saltwater Crocodile so that could be it.

Here is a Mobile Video…

Ah… I ain't saying Philippines never had crocodiles, Im sure there were many many of them when Philippines weren't even named Philippines yet, and the islands were populated with the original natives. Which was the Aetas.

Lechon Kawali aka Checharones

Trying to perfected the way I deep fry lechon kawali which is also known as checharones in espanioles. It's basically pork belly. Boiled with beer then deep fried right away with vegetable oil.. Next time, I'll boil it with some salt, pepper corn, bay leafs, and regular water. Let it cool a bit. Then deep fry'em with vegetable oil. Maybe peanut oil even.



Here is the proper way of making lechon kawali, which I will do next time...

Instrumental Beat - by STATIX

Now here is my hip-hop beat or instrumental music I made on 08/09/11. All original, nothing is sampled except of the drums beats, more like kits than samples but it sounds like real drums. I don't own any studio racks yet to dynamically processed and compressed the final tracks, so the sound quality is a bit dry as of now. I will be getting them soon to add in to my music lab. This beat making is taking me to another level. And I like it. Like I could make thousands of these, more like icing on a cake, eating an ice-cream, etc. Just as long that I have some racks to produce better sound quality with than just the creative aspect to it. I mean it's pointless to make creative tracks but then it has that peaking distorted sounds rather than that punchy, slash warm, slash colorful soothing sounds… I really made this instrumental beat for my relatives to rhymes with. Again, I am more of a electronica based hobbyist.

Beat Making - Akai MPC

or Instrumentals. I am more of a Electronica lab based musician slash hobbyist. To be honest, it's easier for me to make beats that are synthesized than sounding more like real drums. Where some typical Hip-Hop beats uses. Drum beats like acoustic snares, kicks, hi-hats or tambourines. Sometimes TR-808 kick and clap (rather than snare) are also common for hip-hop, specially from the west-coast. East-coast has more of that old school jazz drum beats which I also like. Here are few beat makers showing basic drum beats using the MPC in YouTube. Something I do as well, just not as often.

Here is Boon Doc. One thing about Boon Doc is that he can get really animated. All head bopping and what not, attitude at the end. But this dude is a genus when it comes to sampling old school records mostly from the 70's or late 60's. Last time I heard of him in YouTube is that he transitioned towards the real thing like actual real instruments than just doing sampling from an MPC 1000 quantizing, sequencing, and all that. Even switch his well known signature using the MPC 1000 religiously with followers, to using USB type midi controlled MPC which is the MPD32.


Here is Kay Kay, I wanna buy few of her drum kits. Just because I want to buy some of her kits. I think she makes MPC 1000 pretty for us beat makers. Actually she's got some skills, and she'll devour any exaggerated egos out there that most beat makers can't take control of sometimes. Anyways, here she is doing her thing.


This is DJ Hellfire. Just recently find out about this dude, same as Kay Kay. This dude showed a bit of that basic step of making drum beats, but I'm more impressed about the way he sampled Led Zepplin's guitar sounds. It doesn't sound like a long track but just the idea that he sampled something different is what I find cool.

Bicycle - The New Invention!

What if Bicycles was is invented this year. Than it was in 1817. Everyone would be amaze by it. "Behold! the Bicycle… powered only with the Human Power.. That's right people.. no gas, no electric, not even steam!!! Just human energy!" All sold out from any local stores in a month. Maybe in a week. In a day? Just a year after being invented and then mass produced.

I was thinking about this three weeks ago till recently during my grave shift. There are several kids on BMX cruising by, regular folks doing early morning exercises with their mountain bikes, older people with their vintage cruiser bikes, and few road cyclers looking like slim chupacabras. Then I see motorcycles from japanese imports to american chopper bikes screaming like loud farts. And I thought what if there are bicycles just as fast than a motorcycle or even faster.

In three years, after bicycles are mass produced and sold out a year after it was invented, they would probably come up with an updated and more advance bicycle which is the "Bicycle Car". All men powered. Perhaps just as fast as regular car or even faster. That bicycle car would have the same type of concept as the Handcar.

Handcar
The Bicycle Car would have battery operated starter (when starting at the stop lights - or needed advantages to rest - even as additional muscle as you paddle). And that battery was energized from a renewal energy, like the solar energy for instance. Perhaps it has four wheels or even five wheels. One driver, who also uses leg power, and two other humans as generator using arms or leg power. In twenty years, or maybe even less than that, the streets and freeways would be filled with nothing more than a man powered bicycle cars. Hopefully my words illustrates it enough about how that would look. I'll probably do that later.


Everyone would be looking fit, like people from China and Vietnam. Where they have evolve even more extreme about taking advantage of using a bicycle.

The rest of the bicycles would be the last to be invented. Backwards…. Bicycles like Racing Bicycles, Recumbent Bicycles, Mountain Bikes, Cruiser Bikes, BMX, Low Rider Bicycles and etc...


From The Bicycle Mechanic. So far, this is the only modern bicycle concept I have seen in the internet, since bicycle was invented in 1817 by a German Inventor named Karl Drais. Automobiles was invented after, around 1885. And it was powered by "steam" (hot coals). Then to gas, thats when it was mass produced in the 1900's. Because why sweat it when you can use gasoline.

One of my other favorite about bicycles is The Bamboo Bicycle Project, which is in Ghana Africa.

No Facebook in China

No Tweeters, no Blogger, they have Google and YoutTube but certain issues like tragic political histories are blocked. Recently, I think Google and Youtube are blocked too. Most of their youth have no idea Tiananmen Square Massacre even existed back in 1989. Except for the few that can hack through it in their Universities. That's like the movie Matrix, where Neo wants to find out the truth, while the rest just think history is just a pass, pointless, and be better to just move on. True, at least the Chinese youth have nothing to complain about, no grudges, and just focus more on making their own pockets and country wealthier and wealthier. I heard Hong-Kong waste more food than Americans or any other countries. To me, thats like to not finish your meal in a restaurant shows the levels of how high your prestige is. Either that, or they are just too busy to finish a meal. The rest, I've seen it in the news. And a co-worker of mine told me a few. He came from Shanghai with a passion in history, focusing on Chinese & American relations. He says he wants to be a professor someday here in the States. Already submitted his applications to 20 Universities. To name a few, are Harvard, USSC, Stanford, Berkeley, and etc.

You know, it's weird because my cousin from Hong-Kong have a Facebook account. But uses her mobile phone…?

Here is a sample clip of the Youth in China about Tiananmen Square.


Little history of Tiananmen Square Uprising.


Lately, my brother told me about a lady he bumped into who were passing out flyers about regular people in China, who works out in the gym and then get tortured for it, because they might be taking steroids to overthrow the government. Actually, that was just a sarcasm. He did though have a flyer considering about Falon Gong. The art started in 1992. 3 years after 1989 (Tiananmen Square Massacre) it's the wrong time to start the martial art, but I guess it was important for some people to practice something a little more advance than Tai Chi, pretty similar type of principle. But I don't think there's anything suspicious about it. It's a free your mind physical and mental exercises. Rather than pouching and pushing the numbers up, where other countries needs the number too. Well, we all need the numbers, I need it too. But there's nothing wrong with relaxing away stress once in awhile in an open park, and everyone can join in, with none of that negative vibes man. It's not like they will do that all week thought out the month 24-7. Until they decide to keep it permanent. And in order to keep it that way, is to start a rebellion. If that succeed, most people will live like a slacker from jamaica smoking marijuana, from marijuana to PCP, making them having super power strength like Arnold Schwarzenegger to over throw the government. I think that's ridiculous. Just my opinion.

Here is one example of a Falon Gong practitioner who had been tortured.

Grind Time vs Rodney Dangerfield

It's not my cup of tea… one of my teenage relative likes it. For some reason these east-coast rap battles sort of remind me of Rodney Dangerfield. Probably because his a Jew and also from the east-coast. If only Dangerfield has an opponent he would probably grind these guys out. Okay, here is Rodney Dangerfield on the first three YouTube videos.

ClassicTelevisionBlog - Comedian Rodney Dangerfield


ClassicTelevisionBlog - Rodney on The Tonight Show


Rodney Dangerfield - CaddyShack!


Now here are the rappers from Grind Time. I must warn you, these guys ain't typical hip-hop artist that the mainstream may know. Some probably seen parts from the movie 8 Miles by Eminem, when Rabbit went unto a freestyle rap battle. Well it's exactly like that. This is modern urban Shakespeare stuff from the east-coast, but I'm sure it's everywhere now even more. It's more like "Yo Mama Jokes", where they clown each other up. Except they rhyme and flow more like rappers and downgrade each other up way dirtier than Yo Mama Jokes. Hey the tongue is a double edge sword that can cut a human soul. Like young kids playing with a pistol found in the yard with a lot of bystanders around minding their own business. It's funny how some of them dresses like kindergarten but speaks so graphically, like they're gonna steal your lunch bag, with peanut-butter banana sandwich inside it.
