Taylor Swift on SNL "My Monolouge Song"

In case you dont already know
I'm a SNL [Saturday Night Live] junkie!
and unless you've been living under a rock you had to of seen
the Kanye mic snatch from Taylor Swift @ the MTV VMA's this year.
I rep'd #teamTaylor cuz that shit was F%#K'd up & uncalled for
but then again it's Kanye, tho I did joke and say,
"Taylor's really not that Swift if Kanye had snatched the mic from her"
All I know is Lady Gaga sho as HELL wouldn't of allowed that shxt!

Well, Nov 7, Miss Swift got her time to shine on SNL
Revenge a la Kanye


Taylor Swift
speaks on that Joebro that broke up with her via the telephone,
that Werewolf (Taylor Lautner) in Twilight and even *looks cowardly* then gets delievers her Kanye line LMAO
Very clever Taylor!
this clip had me
*WEAK AS HELL*
definetly a knee-slapper
she's got stage presence & pretty funny

Arizona State Fair '09

Arizona State Fair
Oct 16 - Nov 8

So in case you DON'T live in the AZ
the Arizona State Fair or the state fair (as the natives call it)
comes around once a year at about the same time (mid Oct - beginning of Nov).
The state fair is filled fun for all with rides, games and food for any&everyone. And with a $10 dollar admission it better be haha!
There's a petting zoo, funhouses, loads of rides, BOMBASS fair food like Turkey leg, Kettle Corn, hotdogs, Mexican food [GO FIGURE this is AZ haha],
OLD SCHOOL JAMS stores along with our annual OLD SCHOOL JAM where we get like 7 old school artists together to preform some of their hits! Definetely a nice show and the stadium is always packed & they always have
MC Magic from the NB Ridaz.
[yall aint know bout him] and last but not least we always have rigged games where you win fish or stuffed animals BIG & small.




















"this used to be a FUNHOUSE but now its filled with Pirates..."




*note I do not like heights & being off the ground so NO i rode nothing & will not ride most of these*
Rollercoaster = DEATH
#justsayin


So every year the fair deep fries or chocolate covers something
that not ought to be as food. Last year they had Deep Fried Twinkies????? Definetly not eating that. Do you know how many perservitives are in a Twinkie? If there were a neclear war and we were all wiped off the face of the earth the only thing that would remain are cockaroaches & twinkies....

Anyways,
This year it was Chocolate Covered SCORPIONS


$4 - Chocolate Covered Scorpion


Scorpio eats Scorpion
it tasted like ehh but going down it tasted like a SHOT of ALCOHOL
due to the poison

Halloweeen

Yeah, Halloween!
Where girls get to dress SLUTTY sexy (borderline strippers). Kids dress up & recite those infamous words "Trick or Treat" and candy is given out for FREE in return. & Guys hook up with the hottest costume (GIRL) or get stupid drunk and yeah...
You can be whatever you want from Vampires and mummies to Batman or Superman. Your dress up options are limitless. A good time is spent by all...

All except for me. See I've never celebrated Halloween!
[I can see you all gasp in your computer seats haha]
I'm Christian and because of my mom we (my bro & I) just
NEVER dressed up
NEVER went around the neighborhood 'trick or treatin'
NEVER went to the high school Halloween parties in high school.
We'd just stay at home on Halloween, put a sign on the door saying "we don't celebrate Halloween" and listen as they ring the doorbell expecting candy, getting no reply.

It was all pretty kinda sad considering EVERYONE else was out celebrating and I'm forced to be HOME. It was the one day I kinda felt outta place.

Well, now I'm a little older nad in college and have 4 Halloween party invites: 1 friend, 1 fam, 2 different clubs. I'm on like Halloween OVERLOAD! Sad thing is since I've been deprived of Halloween for so long I have no real desire to dress up. Attend YES, but since its a Halloween party NO. But YES cuz I've never been to one, but NO cuz I've NEVER "dressed up" before.

Confusing huh?
Well, I am. IDK what to do. I'm not going to force myself to dress up but I think it would be cool if I did. Plus the day Halloween comes and I get an influx of texts about where Imma party it up at? What parties? .... how loser is "I dont celebrate Halloween" gonna sound "so I'm not doing anything"... LAMEASS Mike.

I'll figure it out sooner than later.

Clubbin' is a drug & MIKEMAN was abusin'

Besides school starting Aug 24, 2009
[working x doing homework]
My weekends have honestly been spent
CLUBBIN'
I go to have fun NOT to hookup
its just a release from the mundane of day to day
So I go out! & have been going to the clubs
(just about every weekend)

I'm no clubhead were I have to go, need to go, itchin', fienin' to go.
Its all out of pure fun. Hittin up the club scene is just something I enjoy. Beautiful ppl ladies, great music (depending on the DJ), dancing, tweetin' of coarse (I gotta share with yall the bullsh*t that happens) and just the whole experience of clubbing.

SO here's some pix of the HOW WE DO!

MYST

the bestfriend & mother effin sis
JESSICA'S Bday & MO(NIQUE)





the clubbing atmosphere
SKY LOUNGE


with the homegirl Florazalia (Flor)






nice light show up
like the Tribe Called Quest album cover


they was jerkin' by the bar
[I SWEAR - nice shot tho huh? haha]


*note all these photos were taken around the time school started cuz
clubbing x school dont mix well academically*

"Out of Love"

"Out of Love"
by Michael A Bowens

In and Out of Love like Cheri Dennis
Back and Forth like a game of tennis
Same thang expecting a change
This is INSANE!
And yet we live it.
You wanna break but not break up
We're exclusive but I saw you with him
I love you, I hate you
let me love you, fuck you
like opposites we attract
but like damn magnets we repel
We don't fight tooth & nail because we're not together,
So I can't "go to hell"
You're volatile and unstable
And for us I was willing and able
But I was playing you, playing me
We both can see that this cant be
Thinking the same will change
living the beautiful insane
Score: 0 to 0 love
because there is no love, love
I'd love a rematch
but 'til then
Out with Love.

Mikeman

Why I dont like Jason Derulo.

Jason Derulo - "Whatcha Say"
So this song should be on radio stations all across America by now. It's really became a hit. If you have not hear wit your "living under a rock self"
PLAY
Jason DeRulo - "Whatcha Say"

Now as good and as loved as this song is... It gets on my ever loving NERVES like no other. I have to change the radio station because of.. well several reasons all stemming from this.

SNL skit "Dear Sister Parady" of the OC

this skit is effin HILL-LARRY-US to me!
I'm sorry if you dont see the humor in it, but the song they play as each SNL actor & extra gets shot is what I think of and what plays in my head as I hear the song on the radio. It makes me wanna laugh & think of Jason DeRulo's first hit nothing less than a remake of
"HIDE AND SEEK" BY IMOGEN HEAP.

fed up,
Mikeman

Bowling [Sept 11, 2009]

First & Foremost
God Bless all of those who were affected as a result of 9/11.

Anyways,
So after work at 8pm
I went to my high school's Homecoming and let's just say its not the same since my class left. I had a freshman really try to step up to me, I said "really kidd?" and the child fell back. These lil freshman need a reality check or at least an attitude adjustment to say the least with they yey tall [SHORT ASSES] selves.

I met up with some friends & teachers had a good time recapping. Then the game was over - my high school lost their Homecoming game (no surprise there) and I and my friend didn't want to go home yet so we went bowling!

Burnswick Bowling
[67th Ave & Indian School Rd, Phx, AZ]


me bowling

I honestly suck at bowling. I'm no pro but I still love the sport! We 6 had a great time bowling, but how could you not especially with good friends on a Friday Night.


Mikeman x Marlin
[clearly I was sanging on the right haha]


Marlin x Frankie


the homies from high school

Veronica x Franklin x Mikeman
[@veroooo, frankenstein_23, @MikemanxMiguel]

My bestfriends

the Mexicasian VERO & my El Salvadorian amigo FRANKLIN
[She's really not Asian, she's just a lil chinita haha and Frankie is half Mexicano. Marlin although class of 09 she's still cool... I mean I went to France & Spain with her! We (Frankie & Vero) have been homies since high school and all though we graduated in '08 we still thick as theives & thigh like spandex haha always causing chaos on Twitter and if I go MIA one evening I'm probably talking to these kids haha. Although its a change from going from seeing them everyday in class in high school, I get to get kick it with them on the weekends]

Well Round 1 of bowling I got 3rd.
Round 2 - I WON! @veroooo U lose, [@frankenstein_23 U lose
And a good time was spent by all.

the winner,
Mikeman

BURGER KING

but yall remember the crowns?
yeah I had to rock that along wit my shades, 2 cheeseburgers, fries & a drink

My love of WHAT?
BIRDS
I love birds: the feathers, songs, chirps, noises, colors, personality, wings, everything and I've had my ONE lone parakeet for the longest time and was afraid it was gonna die of loneliness. So after much thought I saved up enough money for a new cage, birds, food and toys...

INTRODUCING:

Mikeman

CONSCIENCE talking.

I'm not easily influenced
I makes my own moves, do my own thang
eff it if im not in the "in-crowd"
[although I am haha]
cuz I can honestly care less about what other ppl are doing
So for the most part I am a pretty good guy
I got a pretty good CONSCIENCE on my shoulder
BUT I wonder about the society'
more specifically some of my friends I see do wrong, getting caught up in things they ought not.

KEEP IN MIND your "real" friends are your circle of influence.
NO ONE is perfect so they as well as we all have our flaws, vices, sins, habits, fixes, addictions etc... if you catch my drift


HELLO PPL
that battle between good and bad/right & wrong is your CONSCIENCE talking to you. Listen to it! Its a shame how most ppl ignore it or flatout dont have one. I mean dont get me wrong, we all sometimes give into temptation although the idea is to fight it because its bad for you but some ppl just lavish in the id [or live & love to do bad] and it really puzzles me how corrupt, evil and self-destructive ppl can be.

AT the slightest idea of maybe its okay, just this once comes into play
this thought does too

"WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF EVERYONE DID IT TOO?"

its something I got from my Sunday school class. Its put the whole saying on a global perspective so I you can picture the world if everyone sinned as such. It puts that old saying "if Jimmy jumps off the bridge are you gonna jump off the bridge with him?" concept to shame because it tell you WHY NOT to follow/copy what Jimmy aka others are doing.

And that tiny grain of "what if" is SQUASHED like the Devil who planted it.

I guess I'm just tired of seeing ppl act like they have no CONSCIENCE.
Me & CONSCIENCE are pretty cool, we do everything together so no worries here...

just letting you know he had something to say!
-Mikeman's CONSCIENCE

Buffalo Exchange & ZIA's

ARIZONA
does have its lil HOT SPOTS
I hit up two of mine Sat [AUG 8,09]
Buffalo Exchange & ZIA's


is a used clothing store on 7th St & Missouri Rd in Phoneix, AZ.
They buy & sell used and vintage clothes brought in by fellow Arizonans from all over from Phx to Scottsdale, Glendale to Tucson, Tempe to Avondale haha
They sell everything: jeans, shirts, sweaters, shoes, heels, hats, shades


The thing about Buffalo Exchange is that because they buy used clothes, every visit they got something new & different and if you find something great you better buy it then and there or someone else will!
Buffalo Exchange has any from a Marvin the Martian shirt at $13 to True Religion Jeans at $55 and everything else. I go mainly to sell my old clothes which Buffalo Exchange in exchange will give you [35%] cash or [50%] store credit for your [good quality/wearable] clothes they purchased.

Well I brought in about 10 articles of clothing.
REAL nice clothes, nothing bad bout them, certified bank. Right? WRONG.
The man checking my clothes only accepted 2 of my jeans and I only got 15 BUCKS BxTCHES!
While my bro brought some jeans & shirts and made 53 BUCKS
i hate him right now...

then WE took a redeeming trip to... my musical haven


a record store that sells new, used and old albums & records.
Located on 19th Ave & Indian School Road but ZIA's are located all throught the state of AZ. The sell everything from reggae, rap, pop, adult, hip-hop, r&b, Top 20, rock, world, dance, everything even local artists like
the AZ rapper Willy Northpole.
The cool thing about ZIA's is the used CD's they sell are HALF OFF [50%] so a brazillion of their CD's are like 6.99, 7.99, 8.99 bucks... its a steal considering theres no place under the sun can still selling albums from years ago like Maxwell, Xscape, Will Smith, Atmosphere, Smilez & Southstar, S Club 7, BBMak, Brandy, Lauryn Hill, etc

I spent a good half an hour with 7 albums in hand before I finally narrowed it down to just 2 CD's.

I bought

LMFAO Party Rock & N.A.S.A. The Spirit of Apollo



and we end the day with

bird shit!
on my windshield :D

Mikeman

Talking SH!T at the barbershop ('bout ME?!)

So I got a fresh haircut cuz Mikeman was looking mighty nappy!

So I go to my barbershop.
No line = No Wait = Barbershop Paradise cuz I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU but I don't like waiting for my haircut. It already takes a while for PERFECTION for my hair to get cut. Anyways, I got in, sat down, said I wanted "1 on top & a 0 on the sides" for a fresh fade and he started cuttin' away...

*QUICK NOTE*
here in Arizona we have Mexicans. Now race doesn't matter - I'm not racist, but without giving too much explanation tha fact that they're Mexican is vital to the story.

...and about 2 seconds into clippin' my hair he (my barber) starts speaking in Spanish with the owner/head barber and another barber.

Talk about DISRESPECT!
[Speaking in another language in front of someone who: 1) who clearly doesn't know the language and 2) would assume your talking about them ('bout ME?!)]

It was rapid fire espanol the moment the clippers grazed my naps.
I wasn't paying attention to a word they said, until I heard 'em say moreno and then I was all ears.

Moreno means dark-skinned and obviously dark-skinned Hispanics but also for a word used, here in AZ, for Black folks and there wasn't anyone Black in there but me. But what yall may not know about me is I'm CUBAN. I know Spanish (for the most part...I don't speak it cuz I forgot it cuz I never used it)

So like the saying goes my ears are burning as I quote/unquote eavesdrop their convo as these Mexicans talk about me? el moreno??? Cuz they really got some NERVES talking bout me like that while cutting my hair. The audacity! Talking mainly about the difference between Blacks & Hispanics regarding hair, hair product, haircuts, attitudes and just talking straight mess bout my [Black] peoples...

I was on the verge of laughter cuz 1) they don't know that I know they talking about me right under the clippers & 2) These Mexicans are really talking mess and I truly cant wait to confront their asses about this.

I was in disbelief like it felt like forever when you know someone is talking bout YOU with a look on your face like "this bitch..."

Cuttin' to the chase after the barbers stopped talkin' SH!T
Barber "So do you know Spanish?"
[cuz he had the feeling I was listening to their convo]
Me "yeah"
Barber "Oh for reals?" *shocked*
Me "yeah, I'm Cuban"
[nonchalant/as a matter of fact]
Barber "Oh.." *caught*
Barber "So you understood what we were saying?"
Me "yeah, pretty much"

Then we talk'd it out mainly about me being Cubano and yeah we cool now
He knows better than to talk SH!T about me in Spanish cuz just yeah...

Sinceramente,
Miguel

Who is Sliimy?

Yesterday Twitter was a buzzin'

Lady Gaga (my white girl wifey) is still touring all across Europe.
And even though she periodically tweets, despite a having 139,000 followers
this one particular tweet had Twitter tweeting...

Going on stage in switzerland, who is sliimy?
12:00 PM Jul 21st from TwitterBerry

..like Who is Mike Jones?

Yes, yall Lady Gaga (at least in my twitterverse) caused a frenzy one Twitter. Everyone from me to the Kardashians (Kim & Khloe) to Kendra Wilkinson & plenty other celebs and the entire Twitter population was asking the same thing "Who is Sliimy?," making Sliimy the number one Trending Topic on Twitter Tuesday, July 21, 2009.

So Who is Sliimy?


Sliimy is a French singer/songwriter from Saint-Ettienne/living in Paris, France who did a cover (song) to Britney Spears' hit "Womanizer". His music is very light upbeat pop x tropical. Very feel good. I've got to admit I like! He's even actually touring right now & NO THERE IS NO TYPE IN HIS NAME

les deux "i" c'est juste pour faire sourire :)

...cool huh?



Here's Sliimy "Womanizer"


Album Paint Your Face has no official US date

For a full listing of his songs + music videos
www.myspace.com/sliimy
my favs are "Wake Up," "Womanizer" and "Pass the dutchie"
or
Follow him on Twitter @sliimy
Again Sliimy is a very interesting indiviual. so oddly artisitic :)

i Dig Sliimy

Musically,
Mikeman
