The DK and Mets Parallel.

For people that do know me...yes I am a big sports fan in general. But if there is one team that is nearest and dearest to my heart...it'd have to be the New York Mets. Why them and not Los Jankees? First off, I lived in Queens ever since I was 5 and the first baseball game I went to was when I was 8. Most of the time, the Mets have been irrelevant with the exceptions being 1999, 2000 and 2006. Now they are good...but know how to break your heart, to the point where you become cynical of everything. Plus, with events that have happened to me, I couldn't help but realize they are similar to how the Mets have been for the past 3+ years.

2006- A season that was too good to be true. Won the division by what, 14 games? Tied for the best record in baseball (oddly enough with los Jankees) with a 95-67 record. Obliterated the Dodgers in the first round of the playoffs and was supposed to breeze past St. Louis, an 83 win team. Somehow though we lose in 7 games. I have a mental breakdown.

Translation in real life purposes: That summer was probably the best I ever had, livin it up in Manhattan with some close friends, gettin drunk/tipsy 4x-week. Hella relaxin with very little worries. Makin money from the summer housing job AND from Adidas. Lost about 30 pounds. Finally got my troublesome tonsils removed. Started getting attention from girls again. Had a relationship which breezed for the first 4 months but then falls apart in the last 2 months in which you're helpless to defend against.

2007- Although not as dominant as 2006, still appears like another easy NL East crown. Suddenly stop winning. Everybody knows the rest- I'm not even gonna talk about it.

Translation in real life purposes: After shaking off my slow start after March 07, get the ball rolling again. Graduated, had a relatively fun summer even though I was living at home this time, worked pretty often with Adidas so I always had side cash. Not as skinny as I was in 2006 but still presentable. Got involved in another relationship- this time one which I took my time with and felt really rewarding and proud to be in. Began thinking long-term immediately but an epic collapse of my relationship proved my undoing. This time, could not recover and became extra cynical.

2008- Started off slow (43-44) but then caught some fire after a managerial change. For the 3rd straight September had a lead in the division. This time because of injuries and the worst pen in the majors, miss the playoffs yet again.

Translation in real life purposes: Gained probably 20 pounds and could give a shit about myself. Went under a realization period and began doing something about it. Had a job at Crapple. Had my moments here and there but certainly didn't have the magic that the previous 2 years had. Figured shit wouldn't turn out right, did get an internship but lost the paying job. Became cynical again.

Thus far in 2009- Slow start. 10-13 record. Already thinking about September and October as to what will happen. Don't want to get my hopes up.

Translation in real life purposes: Not getting my hopes up for anything.

And so on.

DK's Lyric Thought of the Day.

Song: Bust Your Guns by Drag-On & Juvenille.

Lyric: Do yall niggaz bust your guns? Hell yeah we bust our guns! Do yall fuck em til they cum? Damn right we make em cum!

Wait a damn minute.

If this is supposed to be a subliminal message with guns=cocks and fuckin em= females...then I can respect this. However, this is unlikely since you don't hear any females in this song. First off, not that many ppl around here go totin' their guns (the literal sense) anymore; which I guess you can say is a good thing. Secondly, why would you brag about bustin em? The last part of that lyric...I have absolutely no comment on it. You make what you want to make of it because I have NO IDEA how a gun can cum.

And so on.

DK's Lyric Thought of the Day.

Even I'm surprised that I'm up this early. Not 100% why that is...I went to bed at 1:30 but I guess it has to do with that I'm hungry. Nevertheless, I digress. I was listening to my iTunes (and to be honest that's all I do now; with some Youtube searching every now and then) and as I was listening to Canibus' Second Round KO (featuring the great Mike Tyson), I heard the following:

"You may have more cash than me, but you don't have the skills to eat a nigga's ass like me."

PAUSE! Although I understand what you really tried to say, it just comes out so wrong (no pun intended). I know I don't have to skill to do something like that; nor would I ever want to so you can hold that down Canibus ha.

Otherwise, Canibus tears up LL in this song and it's a dope song indeed. LL came for a comeback which got the job done too but Canibus was able to expose LL and he wasn't the same after this brief rivalry.

And so on.

DK's Lyric Thought of the Day.

I figure that I will have a new segment of my blog- where I take a few lines of a song and try to make sense of it.

Today's Song: Boom Boom Pow- Black Eyed Peas. Now, the very beginning of the song is retarded as it is with this "lemme get that boom boom boom". Don't you mean "poon poon poon"? What exactly is this boom supposed to be? A sonic boom? A boomerang? But that's not the worst part.

Lyric: "I'm so 3008/You're so 2000 and late"

Here's my thing. Are you Nostradamus or somethin being this far ahead of yourself? Are you what everyone in 3008 will be like or want to strive to be like? I doubt it seriously, and if it is, then God help us all. As far as being 2000 and late, you could be talkin about 2008, in which that case I may be a little bit behind ok fine. You could be talkin about 2000- when life was still good even though I had AOL 4.0 I think and dialup was still all the rage. Oh and when music was still alright. You could be talkin about though 2028, which means to some degree I am on ur level because I'm in the future also. Anyhow, either way you slice it, this lyric is retarded as all fuck.

And so on.

Lawdamercy.

I don't understand a few things.

1) What is with u retards that get rowdy off of Sweet Caroline, Lose Your Love Tonight, Ain't No Mountain Higher and Livin' on a Prayer. You wanna know my take?
- Caroline was most likely a bitch.
- Lose Your Love Tonight is a sorry phrase for I don't wanna fuck up my chances of fuckin you tonight.
- You have to drive 2 hours to the Poconos for mountains.
- If you're livin on a prayer then you're barely gettin by and you better step ur game up.

Conversely when people actually sings truly danceable songs such as Pimpin All Over the World, you retards look like deer starin at headlights. Yes because it requires hip movement. Which you don't have. I answered my own question.

2) Why are you wearing a scarf when it's 50 degrees outside and only wearing a t-shirt? It's not a fashion statement it's a disgrace. No one can argue this with me.

3) I think we are ______ close to havin dudes wear spandex outdoors.

4) Webster Hall rejects attract Webster Hall rejects. Some chick I wanted to holla at winds up on some reject and within a minute they were makin out. Her fat friend with teeth that should be boarded up like a house before a hurricane won the award for cockblocker of the evening.

5) If I ever see a group of guys do Spice Girls ever again I'm bringin back lynching. But it'll be the Affirmative Action remix.

6) I will say though it was very refreshing not to see that many LI retards on the trains last night. That's right stay at home and repent.

Now stuff I understand:

7) I love the new Mets' bullpen. I'm pretty excited to check out Citifield on Wednesday also.

8) A return trip to Hoboken will take place probably the first weekend of May.

9) I had an interview for the ages yesterday with the New York Red Bull. In all seriousness, out of all the interviews I've been on in the past couple years or so...I had never felt so comfortable with an interview as I did yesterday. The guy was straightforward and accomodating and that's rare to see. Even though it'd be a 6 month program...6 months of gettin paid is better than 0 months paid ya dig?

10) Be on the lookout for my new spinoff website which will be created over the course of the weekend. We'll even let yall get a chance to submit your stories on there and if you wanna be a columnist on it, holla at me.
