"Sam the Record Man's" (a really famous music store in Toronto) is closing on Saturday so they've had a 50+ % off sale going for the past week or so. I went their during my lunch today and even though the crowd's were ridiculous, I got some cool stuff. I bought "Blonde on Blonde," "Greatest Hits of Santana," Charles Manson's album (don't expect much, but I thought it'd be interesting and the price was so cheap), some Miles Davis compilation, "Rebirth of a Nation," and an album that separates the vocals, drumming, and guitarwork of some Led Zeppelin songs so that I can play along with them. Also, I got a John Lennon poster and a Jimi Hendrix t-shirt. And it was all for less than $35.
<div class="quote_poster">Voodoo Child Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Don't say something like that and then not share... </div> Well I was about 16 at the time, was at this party, was hanging out with this girl all night, talking etc. then at like 2.00am she says we should go back to one of my friends place who lives around the corner (Me, her, him and one of her friends), so the 4 of us go back to my mates place, him and the girls friend (this real hot blonde dime piece) go into the lounge room as he really wants to bang this broad, and im in the pool room with the chick I've been talking to throughout the night playing pool. So we're playing pool, talking some more etc. then out of nowhere she decides she wants to go get her friend, and she wants to leave, I know my mate is trying to bang the girl, so I try stall the one I'm looking at getting with, so I say to her (to try and make her feel better) "look, you know, If you dont want to do anything, I'm not going to try and force you into doing somthing" then she gives me this clueless look and says "what the hell are you talking about?", so I was like "Uhhhhh.... , dont worry...", ever since then I've been too afraid to do it sober, lol. I'm fine when im intoxicated, ***** just happens then, lol.
LOL, that is hilarious my friend...it's ok...it's definitely not as bad as me being completely oblivious to the girl hitting on my like crazy the other night.

He portrays himself differently (eg thug life); combined with his poor percentages I think people will also become more informed in the future and realize that efficiency is important. God man, I was a twelve year old that didn't really care about stats and I still figured this out a while ago.
Fair enough. I don't disagree with you on Iverson. I just don't think the casual fan's as informed about basketball as you and I. So... I'm blazin... and I turn to channel 35... Friday is on!

I never onced blazed in my house, because of the mad smell it gives off. I usally do it beside a Mcdonalds or something so when i get hungry, i can get a double cheeseburger with mac sauce. It's like a big mac but cheaper

AI doesn't portray himself as thug life, he just has tatoos and cornrows. If anybody screams Thug Life its Stephen "Whoo!" Jackson and Carmelo Anthony (wannabe).
http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v383/chingy0007/jbb/ I just made these team images. I need to re-size them to be suitable for the forums more, but what do you lot think of them. Slightly inspired by NTC's images of Kevin Durant and Greg Oden, but with my own spin on them.
