Happy Halloween
Thursday, October 30, 2008
Just joined the team!
A quick blurb about myself; I'm currently immersed in the local bboy scene and have delved into the art of photography as a hobby, amongst many other things I do to keep myself occupied. I "work" a 9-5 that barely holds my interest, my extracurriculars are what keep me sane. A second "job" -- i don't really consider it a job, but it pays, so it counts -- is event photography; more specifically nightlife photography.
Halloween is upon us, what will you be doing?? I'll be at Modern tonight at Georgetown, followed by Pasara Lounge (1219 Conn. Ave NW) on Friday and Saturday night -- chillin and taking pictures. Email me at georgelang5@gmail.com for guestlist -- free before midnight. Hope to see you there!

Visit DC... Just Don't Interfere with My Daily Life Part 1- METRO
What do I mean?
I LOVE the fact that they come to DC and spend money in the capitol city's tourism industry.
However I HATE... no I ABHOR their lack of respect for the DC native:
Issue #1 METRO
Escalators:
Not only are there signs on the Metro that say stand right, walk left AND the Metro guy comes over the PA system the DC tourist just CAN'T SEEM TO MOVE OUT THE WAY.
I couldn't begin to count the number of times that I have MISSED MY TRAIN because they couldn't take a second to look around at what others are doing and GET OUT OF MY WAY!
Farecard Machines: Is it really that complicated? As Americans, do not the majority of us posess basic literacy skills? Please explain to me why you can't look at the price of your fare, look and follow the instructions on the machine and carry on with your day. In the mean time you lack the basic capacity to do this then ASK the station manager. Move and let people who are on their way to their jobs (so that they can earn enough money to be an annoying tourist in your native city) do what they need to do. Why can't you just step aside?
RUSH HOUR COMMUTE:
There is a certain unspoken rule that in the morning on your way to work you sit down, you read the Washington Post Express (or a book or email on your Blackberry) and MOST IMPORTANTLY you DONT TALK TO YOUR NEIGHBOR! In general, if I walk into a place and its quiet I seem to take notice... hmmm its awfully quiet in here... maybe I will whisper. OOO but NOT YOUR AVERAGE DC tourist!
It all starts with a seemingly innocent "Good Morning" which generally illicits a quick glance around from me signifying "Are you talking to me" followed by a polite but hopefully unfriendly smile that screams "Don't speak to me again, Thanks." I then stare intently at whatever book or newspaper I am reading hoping that they will get the hint.
However, the morning friendly chatters don't bother me nearly as much as the parents who are oblivious to their child's inappropriate activities:
- screaming toddlers (babies I know you can't really control them but TODDLERS)- Look I AM TIRED either from a LONG DAY at work or the anticipation thereof, I just want a little quiet time before I go drive home in rush hour traffic... why is that so much to ask
- running around the car of the train- Do you not realize that Metro jerks to a sudden stop at times and that your precious annoying little munchkin could easily get hurt? Not only that they make me nervous.
- TEACH YOUR KIDS NOT TO TALK TO STRANGERS- there are some weird people on the Metro, trust me they scare me... why would you let your kid talk to them?
- screaming adults on cell phones- You are in a tunnel. Unless you have Verizon you have NO SERVICE. Just wait until you are above ground. STOP SCREAMING... im trying to sleep.
SEATS: As Mr. Talented and I have discussed DO NOT BE AFRAID TO SIT NEXT TO THE BLACK GUY IN THE SUIT... "It's ok its 2008 you can sit next to black males [in suits] and not be worried about your purse."
Another note on Seats... DO not sit down and put a big kid (6+) on your lap who will constantly bump into me for the 30 minute commute I am forced to endure with you.
Really I think tourists should just use a sedan service instead of the Metro and NO DRIVING IS NOT AN OPTION FOR THEM!
(Please see posts to come for an explanation if you really need one)
Until Next Time!

SOHO
I wanted to bring to your attention one of favorite places to shop.....SOHO....Yes I said....SOHO...I just love this place because they have exclusive clothing and footwear that I know you all LOVE...But I love it because I can find items that I have wanted, but have not seen them until I come here. Some of their clothing can be a little pricy, but I think it is all worth it.. A store that I would like you all to check out is PULSE..This store has very nice footwear and I think around the ages of 17- to about 25 will like this store. They have a good selection of footwear, and I do recommend this place to go.
Im out,

College Football Weekend Recap
"Being ranked No. 1 shows respect for what we've accomplished through the early6 of 10 teams in the top 10 polls remain undefeated; Texas, Alabama, Penn State, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State and Brigham Young.
part of the season" said Coach Brown., "but nobody really knows who No. 1 is at
this point,"
While the remaining 4 teams each have one loss a piece, Oklahoma, Florida, Southern California and Georgia. For the 4th time this season we will see a new #1 team, as the number one spot was previously held by Georgia, USC and Oklahoma.
Texas received 39 first place votes to Alabama's 26 first place votes to round out the top 2 slots.
Penn state, played well in their 41 point route over the Badgers. Joe Pa could've coached this game from a vacation resort, yes it was that bad. Make no mistake about it, this was defiantly a statement game. No wonder PSU moved up 3 spots from No. 6 rank to No. 3. There is no question Penn State deserves to be mentioned in the same sentence as the rest of the nation's top teams.
The Sooners drop 3 slots to No.4 as they couldn't hold off the Longhorns. Oklahoma lead by 11 twice in the first half and even had an eight point lead in the third quarter, but couldn't finish plays off. It was a great game, its too bad they had to meet so early in the season.
Florida moves up 6 slots to No. 5, as they jumped on LSU from the start of the game and never let up, as they pounded LSU 51-21. So much for all the trash talking! Memo to: Ricky Jean- Francois, next time you promise to Knock Tebow out the game, well you might want to suit up. That's right, Jean-Francois sparked all of the bulletin board material, yet he didn't even suit up for the game.
USC and Texas take care of business as they hold the No. 6 and No.7 spots firmly.
Oklahoma moves into the No. 8 slot with a 28-23 upset win over a prolific scoring offense in Missouri.
BYU at No. 9 and Georgia at No. 10 to cap off the Top 10.

PAC 10 Preview - 10-10-08
From the sun devils side, QB Rudy carpenter is nursing a sprained ankle he suffered in a loss to Cal. While USC can cover up the loss of Sanchez with a guy who went 8-0 in the SEC last season, Losing Carpenter leaves Arizona State without its best player. If Carpenter can't go, that means he’ll ruin his streak of games started, just falling shy of his 37th consecutive game. Arizona State will have to turn to Junior, Danny Sullivan, who will be making his first career start, at USC in THE COLLISUM. This is not the ideal starting place for any QB, midseason.
Unless of course, you're a Trojan football player.

Big Ten Review - 10-10-08
HE wants the 5th year senior to improve on his accuracy. Evridge has received much criticism for his 53.2% passing with 3 ints’ in the last couple of games. Although the Badgers passing game has been hurt due to injuries to junior TE, Garrett Graham and senior TE, Travis Beckum, the run oriented badgers cannot afford lack luster play from the QB position.
"The bottom line is we've got to expect the ball to be delivered with better accuracy,"Bielema said.
Coach Rodriguez is still steaming from Michigan's 25 pt home loss to Illinois. Coach R said,
"The wolverines played a little bit soft in all aspects of the game"He's promising to fix things up, and he must do so fast, as Michigan is currently 2-3.
Tackle, Dorsey and Wr Evans out of Michigan are still suffering injuries and remain questionable for Saturday's game.
Michigan State's big play defense has them riding a five-game win streak which has noted them 23rd in the AP poll. The Spartans climb in the ranks marks their first appearance in 3 years. Northwestern, like Michigan State, is on a five game win streak, but unlike the Spartans, find themselves on the outside looking in. Much of Northwestern's success is coming from senior running back Tyrell Sutton. Sutton is averaging 124.0 scrimmage yards per game, ranking him sixth in the Big Ten. Despite being only half way through the season, Northwestern has already come within one win of matching 2007's final record. Sutton's take on the sudden success and recent buzz on campus,
"We just have to maintain that buzz and make sure we stay humble and stay grounded and play every game like we're 0-0."

SEC Review 10-10-08
The Florida Gators have been looking all season to add more offense to assist Tim “Superman” Tebow and the versatile Percy Harvin. Coach Ubran Myer may have found his answers last week in Jeffrey Demps and Chris Rainey. Rainey and Demps are packed with speed, and seemed to out run everyone on their way to the end zone last week as both went over 100 yards.
"LSU Tiger Defenders would try and knock Tim Tebow out of Saturday's game."Because of the negative press the comment caused on both sides, Jean-Francois was forced to make a statement on LSU's official website clarifying his words.
"We never go into any football game trying to hurt a player from the other team," Jean-Francois said in the release. "My comments in regard to Florida quarterback Tim Tebow were misinterpreted and were intended to reflect the style of football that we play at LSU. We have great respect for Tim as player and a competitor. By taking him out of the game, I meant, as a defense we are going to try to make him ineffective. I'm sorry that my initial comments were interpreted another way."My take on his comments are, I felt that what he said was misinterpreted, and was done in a competitive manner. After all isn't Jean-Francois earning that scholarship money to knock opposing players out of the game? It's football people.
Despite all of the bulletin board material that has been added to the contest, this will be the first time in 18 years that national champions from the two previous years will meet. The last time this happened was in 1990, when 88' champion Notre Dame beat 89' champion Miami, in a 29-20 classic in South Bend.
According to LSU Coach Les Miles,
"If you find any weaknesses, tell me,"Miles said in regards to Florida.
"They don't have any weaknesses. Being ranked (No. 11) is underselling them some. It will be our strengths against their strengths. "Our team will have a real want to compete in that game. If we play like we can, I like our match up. Make no bones about it. This game will be fun to play. The players will enjoy this one."This will defiantly be a great much up. A must see!
Big 12 Review - 10-10-08
Big 12 review:
It's Red River Rivalry Day at the Cotton Bowl...
Oklahoma's Defensive Line will be at full strength for its first time this weekend. If you're a long horns fan, you're probably cringing at the thought. Before the season many analyst named Oklahoma's defensive front as the strength of the team. Injuries to Junior DT, DeMarcus Granger and Freshmen DE, Frank Alexander had left their defensive front depleted. The rest of the Defense was able to step up, while they recovered from their bumps and bruises.

The Real McCoy..... part 1
Just when you thought Dave Wannstedt had ruined another football program, LeSean McCoy is there to silence the doubters.
The University of Pittsburgh sophomore tailback, from Bishop McDevitt High School in Harrisburg, rushed for 142 yards and 2 scores, upsetting then #10 University of South Florida in Tampa last Thursday night, and putting Pitt back in the top 25.

Heisman Watch... Season of Sam
Heisman Watch – Sam Bradford
The darkhorse became one of the frontrunners, as Knowshon Moreno’s Georgia Bulldogs, Tim Tebow and Percy Harvin’s Florida Gators, and Mark Sanchez’s Southern California Trojans all suffered devastating losses last week, and skyrocketed the very talented Oklahoma Sooners led by Sophomore Sam Bradford to #1 in the polls.

Fashion Week
Modeling Blog
I am not saying that their should not be skinny women on the runaway, instead i am an advocate for a variety of real women of different shapes and sizes. Besides the high fashion that these designers create isn't exactly made for the every day woman. Thus I think high fashion can use women who are not realistic because outfits are purely out of this word. However, for every day or Ready to Wear clothes, real women with real bodies.
Calls for banning skinny models have been made in the last few years and now you can show your support with these T-shirts from Skinny Models Off The Runway...
Real Shirts for Real Women!
(And for all of you who might make the ignorant comment that I am a BIG girl and that's why I posted this blog but you can clearly see that at 136 lbs I am anything but that...)
