I’m Excited for Football Season
August 28, 2009I am REALLY excited for football season. I’m not really a baseball fan, so usually around August 1st I begin to get excited for the season to start. I am only in one fantasy football league, so I am not that bad. But I found this clip to share with you. Though this is a CFL (Canadian Football League) clip, it’s still really funny and involves football.
Happy Asian/Pacific Islander Month!
May 2, 2008
They gave us a month! To my friend, Wayne Park, I wish the best month ever. Incidently, yesterday amongst my people (the Hawaiian/Chinese) it was Lei Day. Peace, everybody. And please remember to wish your friends from the Pacific Rim a happy month…strange though, because we celebrate cinco de mayo so really it could be Hispanic Month.
An Open Letter to Henry Rollins (Fellow Tweet)
April 4, 2008…or “Henry Rollins: Poet, Punk Rock Icon, Tweet.”
As you should know, I twitter (ronpai for those who look for me). Twitter is the newest thing for keeping tabs with friends, family and the such. Unfortunately, I have only two friends who twitter (bhauge and InWorship). So today I’m cruising around and I find Henry Rollins is a tweet also. Yes, THE Henry Rollins. So I add him because I am a nerd and none of my friends are tweets.
Dear Mr. Rollins,
I know that we come from two different worlds, but I am excited that I can now semi follow you from a safe semi stalking distance. Not only are we fellow tweets in the twitter world, but I am also a fan. As a fan of your music, I would like to thank you for entering your shows like you were entering into battle. You developed the look of a man of Mixed Martial Arts - a shredded man simply wearing shorts and taped ankles - before MMA was mainstream or even recognized as a sport in our American Culture. I remember seeing you on television and coming to realize how intense performance really can be and how big you really are. Since that time, my friends and I developed a game we play where we pin rockstars against each other in fights and everytime your name comes up, you win.
Thank you Henry Rollins for your music, poetry, and social commentary. You have made many laugh but also think. You sir, are ahead of the times. You were when you were with Black Flag, and now with Twitter. Thank you for recognizing the power of the tweet. I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
the Brown Kid
Friday Mix Tape: The Bellingham, WA. Edition
April 4, 2008
This is the most exciting time of year for Bellingham. The Farmers Market is getting ready to open, Ski to Sea is just around the corner, and more and more people come out of their homes to see what spring is bringing. As you can see in the picture above, we Bellinghamsters call ourselves the City of Subdued Excitement. Locals love it and Imports who moved here and want to increase their property value hate it.
On Facebook, the Top 5 music in bellingham are 1. Jack Johnson 2. Coldplay 3. Sublime 4. Rock and 5. The Beatles. With this in mind, I went through my iTunes and found some songs that I would want to be listening to while walking downtown and visiting my friend Kelly at the Cheerful, longboarding around my neighborhood, or sharing six dollar six packs with my friends while talking about politics, religion, and music…because that is all we talk about in bellingham. So in honor of the City of Subdued Excitement, I give you the Bellingham Edition of the Friday Mixtape:
Dragonfly - Ziggy Marley
Burn One Down - Ben Harper
Soul Meets Body - Death Cab for Cutie
Here Comes The Sun - The Beatles
Hey Joe - Jimi Hendrix
Young Folks - Peter, Bjorn, and John
Tiny Dancer - Ben Folds
Inaudible Melodies - Jack Johnson
Badfish - Sublime
Jamming - Bob Marley
Cold Shot - Stevie Ray Vaughan
Two Coins - Dispatch
Mustang Sally - Buddy Guy
Jail Break - Thin Lizzy
Lie in Our Graves - Dave Matthews Band
Whole Lotta Love - Led Zeppelin
The Great Gig In The Sky - Pink Floyd
Island In The Sun - Weezer
What’s in YOUR mix today? If you are have lived, are living, or know Bellingham what did I miss?
**Edit: if you want a copy, let me know.**

Don’t Judge Me…
March 28, 2008The year is 1987. The brown kid is in the sixth grade and recently went to K-mart and bought the tape – yes, I said tape – Crushin’ by the Fat Boys. He goes home, listens to the tape, and memorizes every lyric, rhythm, and beat. He is further encouraged to becoming a musician while he listens to this song:
He also listens to:
The very next year he moves to Kent, Washington and begins watching YO! Mtv raps and Head Bangers Ball only to discover these artists and furthers his road toward musicianship:
PS: The Brown Kid stayed up until midnight to see this video premier on the Head Bangers Ball:
Yes, I spent some time on YouTube. I just want to know the answer to this question, “Who/What inspired you to do what you like to do?” Post it on your blog and let others remember what they wanted to do. Get back on that track!
**Let me know when you have done this, so I can see other people’s inspirations**
Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!
March 27, 2008Found this on Digg at first, and then had to embed it from YouTube. I think I love the thumbs up and then all the slow motion action.
