Raising The Knicks Up From The Dead…

Monday, April 9th, 2012

I’ve put a moratorium on all my derogatory and slanderous TWits aimed at Carmelo Anthony after his Easter Sunday ‘Miracle at MSG‘. The Knicks needed a savior and ‘Melo wound up playing the role of the big shot messiah. Who knows what will be the fate of these Knickerbockers for the month of April but yesterday afternoon was moment of blissful ecstasy that I’ll hold onto until the end of the regular season.

Maybe.

Carmelo played his greatest game as a Knick not just by having his career high as a Knickerbocker, but how he rallied the team with clutch shooting when everyone else couldn’t throw the ball in the ocean. And by everyone I mean Anthony’s former Denver teammate J.R. ‘Fancy Shoes’ Smith.

While the Knick win was exhilarating it also came with a price. The Knicks management granted media access to comedian Tracy Morgan so that he could assume the role of the greatest Knick that never was. Despite his efforts Dontrevius Wenters has no place with this organization. Maybe the Brooklyn Royale might could use a superstar to replace Deron Williams when he makes tracks after the season ends?

I just need someone to get the DW workout tape to Sean Carter.

Easter Itinerary Lifestyle…

Sunday, April 8th, 2012

Big up to iLLiLL who stays on me to keep the Lifestyle posts updated… He doesn’t contribute a single $1 to the prA’li fund tho’, but I’ll allow that his comments are an effective currency and drop motivator. So this is how I stepped out with Chocolate Snowflake on Easter Sunday.

We went to brunch at a local restaurant called Cheryl’s for their prix fixe fare and mimosas. The day was outrageously gorgeous and we both felt like walking around Brooklyn. I offered that we should take a trip to the DeKalb Market which is adjacent to the former Albee Square Mall site. I also had a pair of shoes with me which I wanted to shoot in a video with Fulton Mall as the backdrop.

The DeKalb Market was actually poppington and there was a booth selling $1 mimosas so I kept my drunken brunch fleaux in full effect. I didn’t dandy myself up this weekend since I haven’t been feeling to fresh to def lately. Y’all don’t need to hear my issues tho’ because I’m sure you don’t come here to feel worse either. LOL.

iLLiLL: As far as copping anything from the Commodoire series… Nope. I saw a few pieces I liked, but I didn’t press myself to spend on that series since I have so much shit already in my archives in the red, white and blue Americana colorways as you may have seen from the recent weblog posts. I might end up with something from the Commodore series if it filters down to the secondary outlets, but I’m still getting my chips together for more Modern Explorer I.T.’s.

A Night At The Museum…

Sunday, April 8th, 2012

The Brooklyn Museum of Art may have reached critical mass for their First Saturday events. This was the first time I can remember the doors being closed even before the dance party had started. What is this place gonna look like during the summer?

I met up with one of the producers from the Put This On web series and he was impressed with the number of people at the event and how many folks had come thru in their fanciest wares. I wasn’t going to overdo it on this evening because I fully expected to dance my ass off to deejay Junior Vasquez house mix, but the high heels were definitely up in the building.

The flash never lies as you can see I spilled something on my shirt. The trick to enjoying yourself at the museum is to bring yourself a flask or some sort of stowaway beverage because the line at the bar stay on bananas.

Call me a bird ass museum-goer since I didn’t even walk thru the Haring show. LOL. I’m actually having a small dinner party in May and I’ll be walking the exhibit then. I’ll prA’li have on another pair of Reeboks too. These kicks are so comfortable they are the perfect antidote for museum marble tile floors.

A Magic Negro’s Brave New World…

Sunday, April 8th, 2012

Internets! I’ve just joined the ranks of famous magical negroes by having a Tumblr page titled ‘Magic Negro World‘.

So for the page is simply revisiting my past YouTube triumphs, but I’ll eventually kill this blogsite and move all my operations to the simple ease of the Tumblr feed.

Less writing for me. Less reading for you. More magic for all. Amen.

Putting All Our Eggs Into One Basket…

Sunday, April 8th, 2012

Double entendre abounds with the above headline. Toney Douglas was nearly exiled to the Siberian League last month but with the season ending injury to Jeremy Lin and the habitual gimpiness of Baron Davis the Knicks are looking to Douglas to save their season.

Douglas gave some hope with his performance against Orlando last Thursday by keying the defense and spelling the starting PG Davis with timely shots and crucial assists. The Knicks are tenuously holding on to the last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference and their game today against the Chicago Bulls might be a preview of the first round match-up of the 1st and 8th seeds.

Toney Douglas, I take back every piece of slander I uttered in your direction.
