Hey people, hope you're all well.
Been a while since I been on this blog ting, and yes,as an aspiring journalist I really should be doing it more often, but I'm here now, its all good.
Anyways, where have I been? Well towards the end of last year and for the better half of this year its mainly been uni taking up my time. Been dealing with modules and coursework like mad, but I can happily say as of the 7th of July 2010 (not the coolest date in the world) that I have passed all of 2nd year and will now be entering 3rd. (First summer with no retakes, go me) So I'm starting to think of dissertation ideas. I got one nice one but I'ma keep it to myself for now *wink* but it'll be a nice link of journalism and music :)
Speaking of music, what's the deal with me and that? You must be wondering right? I'll fill you in. Those that truly know me will know that I'm always writing, but I hardly record, due to funds, time, business all of that. But now I got some time and I intend to use it well music wise. I've recorded a new song and I'ma put out a whole lot more that you will all be able to hear soon. You may have also noticed the name change. I don't go by the name Heavy Rider any more. I decided on Ridez. I initially stopped like Heavy Rider because it just sounded like a mouthful and a non-marketable typa name, but then again it coulda been, I guess I grew tired of it and wanted something more simple and unique. I did shorten it to Ridez though that was more a nickname than a stagename but it kinda grew on me, then I wanted to get rid of the whole Rider related name all together and eventually decided to use one of my actual names - Tijani. Now I was thinking this is a cool new name, its unique as hell, its actually my name and I personally love it, and its definitely artist vibed. And for a while I was adamant that that would be the name for me. But then once again I became indecisive. I started thinking that Tijani was also a mouthful and more of a name for an R&B singer as opposed to a rapper or MC. I eventually went back to Ridez and that's what I'm cool with now. See, Ridez still shows the rider side of things but at the same time is short and simple, not too hoodish and I think I can make it work. So yeah Ridez it is :)
Aight what else what else? Hmmm, Oh yeah! I heard that The-Dream cheated on Christina Milian :-O is that true? LOL what's worse is that it wasn't with another woman hahaha. My dude had Christina Milian, let me say that again, Christina Milian! LOL. Cheatin was bad enough, but to cheat on her with another man lol. Well I dunno if its true, this is just what I'm hearing. So if anyone can shed more light on that then holla. If he's gay, more power to him, do your ting, he's still a good artist, dunno how smart he is though lol. I guess being gay was the reality, and being straight was just "the dream". Lol thank you thank you, I'll be here all night.
I'm thinking of uploading some of my poems or even unused lyrics on here at some point, if you'd be interested in seeing that or you think its a good idea, again holla at me.
OK for those that wanna laugh, my top YouTube videos of the week for you to check out:
Affion Crockett - Douche It
A spoof of the Chris Brown Deuces video, lol he got it down to a tee, forreal if you haven't seen the Chris Brown original, watch that first!
Reh Dogg - Why Must I Cry / Reh Dogg - Why Must I Cry Remix
The original is a couple years old now but its still funny, it depends on your sense of humour, some of you may think its idiotic and disgusting, others will literally cry with laughter, check them out please and let me know what you think LOL I can't even tell you what its about, you have to find out.
The next videos ain't on YouTube but I've found links for them nonetheless hehe.
Now, I know some people out there aren't to fond of homosexuality. Other people are fine and comfortable with it. But watching this video here, I saw a man who has a passion for disliking homosexuality like never before. But the reason why its funny is because of how he goes about it. I think he should be a comedian LOL. All I can say is I'm so glad these are not Nigerians loool. Check it out http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/81003023/
This next link is worth a click, takes a bit to load but once it starts let the laughs roll thru. Biggest stereotype ever. Black people happy at the sight of chicken LOL. Made me laugh. If anyone knows this man, contact me asap haha. http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/8619/2204355.swf
Aight that's enough of the laughs for now, let me quickly hit you up with my clip of the day
Just awesome!
Another thing that's been poppin off lately is Boondocks, series 3. Unfortunately the final series but they are deffo aiming to go out with a bang. To watch series three or any of the previous ones check out this link http://tv.blinkx.com/show/the-boondocks/26Z1Z7xZYYgn3YpF. Again if you got a good sense of humour, you'll love it.
I think I can end on that note, don't wanna ramble on. I shall try come back more frequently even though I'm a busy guy :P But whether its laughs, news, inspiration or whatever, this is the blog to check out ;-)
Anything you think should be discussed in the next blog just holla at me and let me know. I'ma leave you with one of my songs of the moment. Til next time, PEACE!
Oh and one more thing, for the Eastenders fans out there, ITS NOT DENISE! I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT UNTIL I SEE HER DULL FACE. Til that time I will continue to say that its that random hooker that Lucas did a ting with lol. Lucas, coolest badman on TV right now long side Randy Orton haha. I'm out peeps, follow me @ridez1
