I present to you a LONG overdue list.

The Killa Cal’s 10 most hated Black Celebs

10) Bumper Robinson - I saw him on an episode of The Steve Harvey Show and he along with the happy couple spurred me to make this list. I hate him with a passion. It’s not so much he was a teen heartthrob at the same time that I was an awkward teen, I can deal with that. It’s his voice, especially on A Different World. He had this psuedo Jesse Jackson thing going on. I hate him!

9) Karen Malina White - She and buddy above killed A Different World. Don’t believe me? Watch the last season. Between his Jesse-isms and her goody two shoes act it was sickening. She also has the most cringeworthy moment in “Lean On Me”. When she tells buddy that he’s “not man enough to live up to his responsibilities”. FOCUS beezo, ya’ll are trying to get Mr. Clark out of the clink!!! And her voice is annoying, and she does too much. I really hate her!
Boris Kodjoe - Okay, I don’t have any real reason to hate him other than he’s the “heart throb de jour” and all of the chicks I like dig him so I MUST hate him. It helps my cause that his acting is a step above Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen during the Full House days. I really, really hate him. He’s the new millenium version of Shemar Moore….speaking of which….

7) Shemar Moore - This dude is so overrated it’s ridiculous. He sucks. When he started hosting Soul Train I stopped watching. But yeah, the main reason I hate him is because when I was in high school chicks were on his jock and not sweating the Killa! I really, really, really hate him.

6) Nicole Ari Parker - She and her hubby-to-be made it really easy to root for Sanaa Lathan and Taye Digg’s characters in Brown Sugar. She seems really smarmy and stuck-up. Her characters don’t seem like much of an act. I think she is probably this way in real life. Her looks are overrated. She has all of the roles that Mari Morrow should have. I really, really, really, really hate her.

5) Monique - Argh she makes me sick. She’s annoying. She’s NEVER EVER made me laugh. Her whole skinny women are evil thing sucks. Okay, okay you got good self esteem, so does Kim Whitley, she’s not annoying. Star Jones isn’t annoying. When I saw her in Baby Boy I almost lost it, luckily she wasn’t in it for long. She has what might be the WORST show on the WORST network. Countess Vaugn might be on this list too, but no one cares about her. Monique on the other hand is still a plague on our people. I really, really, really, really, really hate her.

4) Tatyana M. Ali - She dated Jonathan Brandis and didn’t date me. No other reason needed. I really, really, really, really, really, really hate her!

3) The Wayans Family - Goddamnit!! Ya’ll do what Soul Plane did for the Black Race once every 3 years! Let’s go member by member. Damon, you left In Living Color when CLEARLY you were the funniest guy on there, and for what? To make Mo Money?!?!?!? Keenan, your late night show wasn’t even as funny as the time you made fun of Arsenio on ILC. Shawn and Marlon, you two buffoons were at your best on your WB show, then you had to take it to the movies! Kim, you are ugly. I really, really, really, really, really, really, really hate them!

2) Don King - He killed a man for Pete’s sake! Only in America indeed! This man is a crook. He’s the only man who can make Mike Tyson into a TRULY sympathetic character. His hair is a traveshamockery! He is everything that is wrong with people in general. I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really hate her.

1) Vivica A. Fox - Where do I start?!?!! I should have known from her first guest appearance on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air that she would be the bane of Black Hollywood. The Sports Guy once mentioned an intangible called “what you bring to the table”. He mentioned that there are some sports stars who are so bad they actually take things OFF of table. Vivica is one of those. Two Could Play That Game is just the tip of the iceberg. When I found out she was in Kill Bill I almost wrote Tarantino a letter. Perhaps the thing I hate worst of all is that she’s FINE. All of that beauty wasted on her! I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really hate her!

If this list were made last year Wayne Brady would be on it, but he redeemed himself with his appearance on the Chappelle Show. The people on this list should follow his example. There is hope for them yet.

I just came to the realization that I have too many people on my buddy list.

There are 187 total people on my buddy list. 187 people!!! I don’t even like 18 people total!! Okay I might be exaggerating, but honestly, there is no way that I could have convo with 187 people.

I realized that I basically add people to my buddy list if I have one thing to tell them and never remove them. Then as I’m going through psuedo-pruning of my buddylist, I create excuses and scenarios where I might talk to some people.

I need to get real and delete some of these jackasses off my buddylist. I think I’d be left with like 14 people or so who I talk to on a regular basis. The rest of them can go through the AIM screening process.

Right after I clean up my room (i.e. never).

First things first the answers to the last post:
1) Tribe Called Quest feat. Leaders of the New School - Scenario, from Phife’s verse (the other native tongues were in the video but only Busta, Dinco, and Charlie B kicked verses)
2) Kanye West - Through the Wire
3) Dan Hill - Sometimes When We Touch (from that Geiko commercial!!)
4) Mo Thugs (Felicia and Bone Thugs) - It’s All Good
5) Busta Rhymes feat. P. Diddy and Pharrell - Pass the Courvoirsier Part II
6) Take 6 - Spread Love (I knew no one would get that one)
7) Stevie Wonder - Rocket Love (I wanted to use the chorus, but people probably would have thought it was Gza’s “Cold World”) Al Wilson - Show And Tell
9) The Temptations (post David Ruffin) - Treat Her Like A Lady
10) Craig Mack - Get Down
11) Kelis - Milkshake
12) Manhattans - Let’s Kiss And Say Goodbye
13) Eminem - My Name Is…
14) Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle - A Whole New World
15) Aretha Franklin - A Bridge Over Troubled Water
16) Stevie Wonder - Superwoman (where were you when I needed you)
17) The Roots feat. Common - Act Too (Love of My Life)
18) Method Man - What the Blood Clot
19) De La Soul - Me, Myself, and I
20) Whodini - Five Minutes of Funk

Thanks for playing, you can pick up your cool points at the exit.

You know, lists are good. I have literally dozens of them floating in my head at any given time. Top Ten Celebrities I’d like to bang at the moment. Ten Best Hip Hop albums. The Five Best flavors of Ramen, you name it I have a list about it in my head.

I think that’s part of why I like the Sports Guy’s writing so much on ESPN.com’s page 2. He has a bunch of lists. Right now he has a list ranking the top 40 NBA players in terms of trade value.

The entries I write with the most feedback are usually lists/rankings of some sort. People in general like lists because they are so easily debatable. Maybe I should do lists more often.

At any rate it’s wacking time on MobStyle.

Peace!

Today was a LONG day indeed. I was up early to take a test in Pathology. It went okay I guess. I came back home and called Heather for a favor. She picked me up and first we went to see my godson PJ and his mommy. We had fun over there, then went to the grocery store so I could get some ramen noodles. I also came up on 10 packs of Kool-Aid for $1.00. I paid with quarters ya’ll!

Anyway, when I got home Heather taught me how to make Egg Drop soup with Ramen. It was GREAT man!! I owe her one (she gave me some dishsoap, sugar for kool-aid, and canned tomatoes as well).

So anyway, I did this on my livejournal, but I know most of ya’ll don’t read that, so I brought it here too. It’s pretty hard, but I’m sure people will get at least a few. I didn’t provide as much info for some of the easier ones. I stole it from Chris and Smoke among others.

On your current playlist, hit shuffle and pick the first twenty songs on the list (no matter how cheesy or embarrassing), and write down your favourite line of the song. Try to avoid putting the song title in the line. Then have your friends comment and see if they know the songs

1) bust a nut inside of your eye to show you where I cum from
2) story on MTV and I ain’t trying to make a band
3) ….the honesty’s too much and I have to close my eyes and hide I wanna hold you til I die til we both break down and cry I wanna hold you til the fear in me subsides

5) girl you need to shake it off, too much hair on the chocha (shave it off)
6) I’ve often said that love can open any door, but I wish we had much more, love is what we need
7) A female Shakespeare of your time, With looks to blow Picasso’s mind, You were the best, Your body moved with grace and song, Like symphonies by Bach or Brahms, Nevertheless These are the hands, That can’t help reaching for you if you’re anywhere in sight, And these are the lips That can’t help callin your name in the middle of the night
9) Now I’m the kinda guy who don’t believe, That chivalry is dead, no, ‘Cause I believe a woman should be treated, With the utmost respect
10) I’m a reign…rain forever, Rain like bad weather….reign like whoever never, You can’t bite my style, Cause my style ain’t a style, That is a style , So I can go buck wild
11) Oh, once you get involved, Everyone will look this way, so, You must maintain your charm, same time maintain your halo, Just get the perfect blend, Plus what you have within, Then next his eyes will squint, Then he’s picked up your scent
12) I had to meet you here today, There’s just so many things to say, Please don’t stop me ’til I’m through, This is something I hate to do
13) All my life I was very deprived, I ain’t had a woman in years, and my palms are too hairy to hide
14) I can open your eyes, Take you wonder by wonder, Over, sideways and under, On a magic carpet ride
15) When you´re down now, When you on the street, When evenin´ falls, Somehow I will comfort you
16) But, very well, I believe I know you-very well, Wish that you knew me too-very well, And I think I can deal with everything going through your head
17) Her Daddy’ll beat her, eyes all Puff-ed, In the mix on tape, niggaz had her in the buff, When we touch, it was more than just a fuck
18) Then I get evil. But don’t let that negative vibe right there Mislead you, I’m humble, a fucking Killer Bee, Far from bumble. I sting you BZT and I bring you, Thirty-six chambers of head banger, bitch.
19) People think they dis my person By stating I’m darkly pack I know this so I point at Q-Tip And he states, ‘Black is Black’
20) Now the party didnt start till I walked in And I probably wont leave until the thing ends But in the mean time, the in between time If you work your thing, then I’ll work mine

Post the results in the comments!

By the way, I meant to link my boy Corey. Corey is one of my writing influences from back at Morehouse, he’s a funny guy. Look out for him! I’ll be adding a link to his site on the side.

I’m watching the Predator on FX as I type this. I remember I was about 9 when I saw it for the first time on video tape at my Aunt Carmen’s house with my cousin Bryan.

I found out later on that my Dad had actually seen it at the theater or something like that and it was one of his favorite movies. When he got a DVD player it was one of the first movies he bought. So now when I see this movie I think about my dad.

He’s out to eat with my sisters as I type this. When I told him what I was watching it was like I could hear the smile on his face. It was good to talk to him. I realize I don’t say much about him on here. Part of it is because I’m still kind of emotionally messed up about what happened to him. He was telling me that he’s very close to being back on the radio full time. I really hope it can happen for him.

Alot of the things I do now remind me of my dad. Last night I went to a birthday party with Geoff and his girl who was in town, E. Jones. And as I sat and got my asswhipped in Spades (something that would never happen to my dad by the way…he’d cheat before he’d lose), I was arguing with this guy Mike about hip hop. Pretty soon, as is usually the case with discussions about hip hop, the topic turned to the Black community as a whole.

The points I made in that discussion were almost exactly like my dad. I don’t have his command or presence in a room, but I realized I have a touch of his skill in debate even still.

As I’ve stated before, if i can be half of the man that my father is I’ll be glad.

Happy Father’s Day to all of the men who are out here living up the title of Father. In this day and time it’s a rarity, especially for Black men. I’m thankful for everyone who is being a positive role model and father figure.

In other news, I’ve started playing a new online game called Mob-Style. Click here to sign up! It’s very addictive once you get the hang of it. I posted a very basic tutorial on Soul City as well. Join the fun!

I talked to Crystal (my old roommate who lives in Las Vegas now) earlier as she waited in the LV Airport for a flight out of town. I really miss her. I can’t believe that it’s almost been a year since she graduated and moved away.

I have to thank the homie Baby J for lunch. I had fun chilling and talking with you, Doris, and Alem. It’s always a learning experience for me.

It has come to my attention that not too many people know about Strong Bad from Homestarrunner.com! You need to get up on that! Strong Bad is hilarious. His e-mails have made many a gloomy day just a little brighter.

I don’t really have more to say right now.

Remember that episode of The Cosby Show? When Rudy was telling a story where she was a flower girl and Claire was the leader of songs and Theo was the messenger and Sondra and Elvin grew a delicious fruit called Fluberu and Grandpa Huxtable was the mayor. They lived in a happy land dancing and singing and being led in parades by Peter the bandleader, until the evil people declared war on them!

Vanessa was the wizard and Kenny/Bud was the king and Cliff was the henchman. And then, there was Peter’s brother Paul who was THE DUKE OF DOOM! He shouted, “Off with her head” and other menacing things. He was harmless, yet cantankerous! He was great!

So anyway, yesterday Geoff and I discovered that Grolsch beer is now 9.99 for a 12 pack of cans. Grolsch is the beer that we bought the beer store out of the last time it was on sale. It’s the most underrated beer out there! Give it a try.

As far back as I can remember, my two sisters Nina and Che have been confused for twins. They are in fact a little less than two years apart (February 9, 1982 for Nina and April 28, 1984 for Che), but they are about the same size and all. Actually Che is a little bigger than Nina to be honest, but that’s beside the point (which is coming).

It bothers them to no end when people ask them if they are twins because they don’t feel that they look THAT much alike, and honestly they don’t. The biggest difference is in the eyes. Nina and I have the same eyes. Che’s eyes are different. It’s pretty simple for me having lived with the both of them for over 20 years at this point.

So imagine my chagrin when The Diva Herself, old eagle eye pointed out that I had mistakenly labelled one of my pictures of Che and her friends as Nina and her friends in my photo gallery!!!!

How bad does that make me look as a brother? True, I was rushing when I posted those pictures, but damn!

Meanwhile back at the ranch, (I always want to say In Other News, but that’s a Max trademark, I’d feel like a dirty commie using it!) I’d like to concede victory out there to all of the TRUE Pistons fans out there (this means you Dave and Geoff, this DOES NOT mean you Jen….Eman you were right as well, but I never did get a clear understanding as to who your team actually is). The Pistons are the superior team.

I’d also like to give props to Max’s Chicago Whie Sox who took a series over the TERRIBLE, ROTTON, NO GOOD, VERY BAD, Braves this weekend, ringing up 24 runs on our dilapidated staff of pitchers. This season reminds me of the 80’s, not good times, deep hurting!

A milestone is coming up here at Water Under The Bridge. Get your outfit ready, I got a special surprise coming.

One more thing before I turn in for the night. Has ANYONE out there seen I_Boogie? I’m putting an all points bulletin out on her!! Someone let me know what’s up with the homie Boogs!

I made a few subtle changes over on the left side of this joint. If you look under my links you will see links added to Ethel, Jackson, Misty, Jordan, and Joe from Dallas. All of them are up and coming bloggers (except Joe from Dallas who has informed me that he’s going to start back soon). All of them are worth checking out often!

I also added links to Television Without Pity and TV Tome. Television Without Pity goes into EXCRUCIATING detail about current shows and has forums (and I love forums!!!), while TV Tome has (among other things) detailed episode guides for ALL of your favorite shows (yes, sometimes when I come up with these amazing stats about shows I check there, although most of it is off the top of my head).

Check out my livejournal to see what level of hell I’m going to according to some netnerd who read a bunch of the works of Dante. Also check out my little sister Che under hosting from time to time. She’s interesting and sometimes she writes!

I stole this from Max to give all of you theoretical readers something to do in my comments, have fun.

1. Who are you?
2. Have we ever met?
3. Give me a nickname and explain why you picked it.
4. Describe me in one word.
5. What reminds you of me?
6. If you could give me anything, what would it be?
7. Ever wanted to tell me something but couldn’t?
8. Are you going to put this on your weblog and see what I say about you?
9. What do you love like a fat kid loves cake?
10. What makes you come back here?

In Dave Chappelle’s first season he talked about making a movie based on his life (since Antwon Fisher could do it). At one point he was spoofing Eminem in 8 Mile (….I got vomit on my sweater/mom’s spaghetti…). He kept repeating spaghetti over and over again. It was hilarous to me.

At any rate, I just finished my second bowl of the Killa’s Own Poor Man’s Spaghetti. It was the most satisfying meal I’ve had since my birthday!

The Killa loves making spaghetti!! Actually making it is a pain, but eating some GREAT spaghetti that I cooked for myself is G-R-E-A-T.

My favorite Spaghetti involves the following: 1 pound of ground turkey, one bottle of Five Brother’s Five Cheese Tomato sauce, a can of stewed tomatoes (italian blend), and various spices.

I brown my ground turkey, season it to taste (with such spices as garlic powder, garlic salt, and italian seasoning), and then drain it. Meanwhile I am also boiling a big pot of water for my noodles. I shake a little garlic salt in my boiling water and I add a capful of olive oil. I combine my sauce, meat, and tomatoes so that it can cook on medium heat for about 15 minutes or so. By this time my spaghetti noodles should be al dente so I prepare to drain them. Then I sprinkle LOADS of parmesan cheese in and turn off my heat on my meat sauce.

Man you talk about good! Woo wee!

I can’t wait until I get my refund, that will be the first thing I cook!

In a bit of sad news, Ray Charles passed away today. My enduring memory of Ray Charles will be when he came as an honoree for Morehouse’s Annual Candle In the Dark Gala. He gave a large donation (can’t remember the exact amount, but it was in the 7 figures), but he was also really funny and genuine.

My father used to tell me a story about how Mr. Charles needed some dental work when he came to Atlanta so he went to my Grandfather (both of them are from Albany). He went on to say how Mr. Charles made it possible for my grandfather to get his first Cadillac. I guess he did some major work.

At any rate, the man was a legend and an overall high quality human being who overcame some real hardships. May he rest in peace!
