Play that GEE-TAR!!!

Okay so I think have an obsession with guitars, idk they're just dope. I mean I'm a fan off all guitar forms whether it be acoustic or electric. And if you want to know something funny I think it started with the movie Desperado. You know the one with Antonio Banderas in it where he has the guns that pop up from out of his sleeves.(pictured below)


Well the vid below shows the clip that started it all for me. I could not understand a word he said but i knew i wanted to play like him and have that kind of hair....LOL! (this was 1995 okay...lol)



After that two main styles pretty much took my attention: Spanish(acoustic) guitar, Slap Bass. Slap bass is style where you play with your thumbs finger instead of with a pick. Well actually both dont use picks traditionally lol.

This vid probably displays best where I want to be on the acoustic....



And this Bass playing genius is Victor Wooten, if you dont know check him out, but if i ever get this good.....well.....lol

Goody Pimpin'

This past Friday...me, Octavius, and sum homies experienced a situation that you only see in the movies. NEVER in real life!!! (unless you just live in that type of world) but ANYwhoooo....at Goody Goody we saw PIMPIN'!!! Here's a quick line up:

-- the hoe callin em "daddy"

--she walks away. a pimp says "yea...go make that money"

--A quiet convo saying "I'ma big ol dolla sign. All them hoes see is dollas"

Crazy right!!!...Well what's funny is...one of the pimps (top pic) actually went to UMSL! (lmao!) So he started talkin to us about school and stuff...tellin us what he majored in (which was criminology and parole!! so he knows the system!!) and he graduated from there and blah blah blah. So Octavius ask him "Are you still working in that field?"...HE SAYS:

"Nah. I'ma salesperson now."

AWWWWWWWWWWWW SNAP!!

We failed to ask him what he sells...but you ALREADY KNOW!

So we eat up..pay...and leave. As we leave, the pimp from UMSL runs to the door. We were like "What is goin on???"...

This ninja is running to the door to catch up with sum woman and hands her a business card. The last words I here from him are:

"...I see you ain't got no ring on yo finger..."

...I run out overwhelmed.

*sigh*...The end of a soap opera at Goody Goody...
