sandwiches, sweaters and wtf....

lest start with wtf....
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26952469/
you dont need to read the article, just know the title, NYT "Concerns grow about Palin's readiness as test looms"...i mean are you seriuos? did people actually believe she could be the president of the us, cause if so wow im glad I live in barcelona.

Next, sweaters. So im at this club with my friend mike and like 10 dudes roll in with thier button downs tucked into their jeans all, literally all sporting sweaters around their necks, like this was some sort of lame ass country club/dueschbag appreciation day...I think they were from Mexico, not sure though...need to check that out.

Also other than a council on pickles I think one needs to be made on sandwiches. A sandwhich is not just 2 loaves of bread with some meat in the middle...you gotta have the ill ness, the cheese, the lettuce, the tomatoe, dare I say it, the PICKLE!!!people in Spain are leading half lives without access to proper sandwiches...thus I think a council should be made and rules adhered to on what does and does not constitue a sandwhich.

thats about it for me, reid u made this too difficult...

and i leave you with this pickled image. What do my two favorite things combined looke like?

i was gonna start picklin'...

but then, walking around campus, i noticed a familiar sight on a tv screen. mtv deux was playing a rap video filmed on court street in the cradle of hip hop history known as carroll gardens. two things caught my eye-one, the restaurant marco polo was featured in the background.

in front of marco polo was assembled the unwhitest assembly of individuals i have ever seen on court street. and one of these guys (marco polo himself) is actually not unwhite at all. in fact, he's a very well known white dude that we have for a long time been calling BRIAN ROOT BERNSTEIN.



That's right-BRB, who has also fooled the world into thinking he is not actually Collie Buddz:


has yet another identity. I know you think he just wanted to put Carroll Gardens on the map, but i contend that no, he is in fact trying to compete with his bitter rival Gulpreet Singh for total alternate identities (Gulp is also known to the world as Bill Richardson, Jon Belushi, and Horatio Sanz).

























So be advised-the war is on. Root's catching up to Gulp with a pretty bold move, but Gulp still has the edge.

In the meantime, all of our loyal readers should know that our pickling operation is currently active in the ENTIRE FUCKING GLOBE (the entire fucking globe meaning: Brooklyn, Barcelona, Los Angeles, possibly DC/Vermont. I see you Robe Riche.)! And we are currently right at the precipice of actually picklin' stuff. So if you are in one of those locales, you can be sure to sample our many pickled products some time soon.

Trumpets

Well, the last few weeks have been busy, to say the least.

While Jamal left for Spain, my old company went bankrupt, and the US financial system collapsed, I was listening to the new TV On The Radio album, titled Dear Science. The album is phenomenal, to say the least, and I'm very excited to see them at the Brooklyn Masonic Temple this October. Speaking of which, just what do you do at these meetings, Jamal? I'd like you guys listen to the third track, Dancing Choose, and pay attention to the trumpets at the end. Isn't that wicked energy?

In other news, my initial reaction to McCain pulling out of Friday's debate was that it was politically brilliant. Somehow, he nearly found a way to turn the economic issue in his favour by drawing Obama into displaying his 'ambition over country' attitude. True to form, though, Barack Obama handled it in exactly the right way, so I can only hope that all goes as Rob Rich says it will. Seriously, though, who isn't excited to see John McCain trying to keep up in a debate?

On the note of Fort Greene, my childhood friend Shival is working out great as a roommate, but it looks like he may have to move out for October. So I'm back on the search.

Sour pickles are better than sweet.

from the best side of europe....

...Pickle me this and Pickle me that...what´s the best-most awesome-most bodesious thing i have seen so far¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?
Rat Tail/jedi padawan dread! Its true, a dude on my team has like a 5 inch peice of hair in the back that is dreaded...the rest of his head is about a quarter inch long, just that one peice sticks out....ahh if i was on the other team and i had the ballz to touch that thing i would pull the shit outa it.

next up...eating alone kinda sucks. i have a feeling i might be doing that a lot for a while....also finding an apartment here is harder than i thought, especially since i dont know the areas and why are better for what reasons ext...u know

also keyboards in foreign countries are ballz...i have to press like 4 buttons to get an @...see that was super annoying to do...you think the ´at´sign would be important enough to be just 2 buttons....but u can do cool shit like this ¿ÑǬ€(which the $ actually takes presedent over still....)

finally, got my first bit of anit muslim racism today. was trying to see a dudes apartment, and he kept asking me for a photo...like literally he´d be like, yes the apartment is free, send me a photo...so i thought wtf weirdo craigslist dude, see that we didnt leave you behind in new york, and finally asked ¨why¨and I quote ¨just because i dont wanna share my place with an old muslim man with beard who is praying 25 times per day¨...to which i responded ¨wow, well i´m a young muslim man with a beard so you probably dont want me to share the place with you either...¨ wanted to cuss him out more but was afraid he´d retaliate and try to send me the worlds most spam...you could really ruin someones email address like that...

so thats about it, ganna hit the sack, hope i wake up for the free hostel breakfast and then hang out all day for supposedly one of the biggest festivals in all of barcelona, although no one can tell me what its for...
