Shoutouts to my boy Bobby M. from THEGARAGEBOYS. Follow him on twitter at @BMONTEFALCON.

I just want to blog about my love for music. Music is VERY therapeutic. In nursing school, we learned about therapeutic techniques like breathing, massage, or PHYSICAL stuff. How about music? When I jam out or even when I hear a good song, my mood changes. If I’m mad at the world, I’ll pop in some Devil Wears Prada. If I feel like I’m in love, I’ll listen to some Robin Thicke or Michael Buble. If I want to MAKE love, I’ll listen to that R. Kelly, Keri Hilson, or The-Dream. We all have those times where there is nothing to do but think. We can’t be surrounded by friends all the time. We’ll be stuck in traffic coming home from work or school with no one to talk to or nothing to tweet about because you’ve tweeted 5 times within 2 minutes about how whack the traffic is. Well, pop in a CD, iPod, or cassette and zone out.

When I listen to certain songs, my life just gets better all of a sudden. Music is like magic. Some people can make magic while others love to watch. We know magic is not real and it sometimes is fiction or even just a figment of our imagination but to zone out and just think to ourselves that this magic is real, then that is when it becomes therapeutic. I’m not talking about Bitches or Hoes or G5 jets or Cristal or whatever. I’m talking about lyrics, melodies, tunes. I’m not going to lie though, when they play stuff like that at a club or wherever, people are known to break it down (ahem* TEP AND APRIL *ahem) but that’s the beauty about music. Forget alcohol. Music is the ultimate liquid courage. Some of us are not great musicians or singers but we are very closeted with that aspect of our life. We all love a little tune in the shower, do we not?

When I go to a concert, much like Kanye West’s Glow In The Dark tour, I didn’t hear the album cuts, I heard LIVE remixes. It was great to see that musicians have such great talent to do things like that. It’s like watching a magic show and you ask yourself, “How does that work? How did that happen? This is too good to be true.” I’m not just a hip hop lover. I love all kinds of music. I remember asking my friend Mary Jo when we were in elementary school what kind of music does she like and she answered, “Good Music”. There’s no other way I can explain it. If you saw my Driving Playlist on my iPod RIGHT NOW, I have Black Eyed Peas, Glee Cast, Jay-Z, Trey Songz, Young Money, Vitamin String Quartet, Radiohead, Kid Cudi, Shakira, and many others. This is GOOD MUSIC to me. It may not be to you but sometimes, I don’t like the music you may listen to. There’s tones that strike the lymbic system that just soothes the body.

So next time you’re stressed, mad, pissed, loved, or any other emotion, go to Mt. Soledad in La Jolla, pop in your iPod, set it to that Incubus “Wish You Were Here” and stare out into the Pacific.

Much Love, Allen Ray…

You’re a Jerk (I know)

I’m not gonna lie. I’ve been liking this girl for quite a while now and I just figured out that she’ll be a friend and that’s all it could be. I treat her like the angel she is. I’m never going to tell her that I like her because I don’t want to ruin what we have as friends. Whenever we hang out, I get butterflies in my stomach that I just want to shit out because of the fact that it will never be more than just friends.

The reason why I never told her, yet I know she would never dig someone like me is because she likes…JERKS. Fuck my life bro. JERKS. Nice guys always finish last. No matter the situation. I took a girl out on a date to dinner and a movie one time and nothing came of that. We’re JUST FRIENDS. I paid for the dinner and everything. Hell, I don’t even talk to her anymore and that’s why I feel so abused with girls like that. They’re just GIRLS. Not women, just GIRLS.

“Girls like bad BOYS. WOMEN like nice GUYS.” Tell me a girl that would date a nice guy like me and I’ll show you a good time. HAHAHA. No. Really. I believe all women have a chance at being treated like a queen. To be treated like a woman is supposed to, with respect. But if the only way to your heart is to treat you like a dick, then I have way less respect for you. Independent woman or not, you’re not independent because you don’t know what’s the difference between good and bad. There was a time where this other girl I dated told me about every guy she dated after me and how each and every one of them didn’t call her back. It’s a game ladies. It’s a game.

Haven’t you heard of the 3 day rule? A guy gets your number, doesn’t call you for 3 days, and then all of a sudden, they call? It’s a game. Don’t play it. If a guy treats you like a “game”, then it’s fair play. Let’s face it, every guy and girl wants to play hard to get but during those 3 days, both of you guys are sweating bullets. The girl is stuck at home, IM’ing or tweeting to her homegirls about, “Is he going to call me? I really like him. He’s cute.” And the guy is thinking at the same time, “Should I call her? No. I don’t want to seem too anxious.”

So, instead of playing games, instead of hiding behind corners, I’m going to sit here while all these jerks come to you. When you’re ready for a real relationship, I’ll be here. I’m not going to wait but if the heart allows to, I will be here, ready for you. Until then, I’m fine with being a GOOD GUY and being a GREAT FRIEND.

For all you boys spitting game, I want you to understand that you’re being fake. If that is the true you, then I feel sorry for the girl you’re dating because you’re just a dick. I know some of my friends that are like that. Just dicks and I think to myself, “Their girlfriend deserves so much better.” I’m not talking about me but that woman needs a good guy. So quit being fake and show your true side. Otherwise, you’re just another two-faced person.

Class is Now in Session…

Sit down everybody. Take a seat. Let me school you on something I like to call “class”. Class can be defined as “elegance, grace, or dignity, as in dress and behavior”. I like to pride myself as having class when needed. Young bucks don’t really appreciate true class so I like to associate myself with the older crowd. I’m more mature than most think and a lot of my closer friends can attest to that. I don’t really like to fraternize with people my age, the 21 year crowd. It’s really bad. I grew up under my Gramma’s wing and I was brought up as a Momma’s boy kinda. I bit my tongue when it’s not needed, I didn’t speak up towards anyone, I held doors open for anyone walking in or out, and I always held my farts until I was in the bathroom. I had manners and I had class.

Someone told me that in order to get a girlfriend or to even have a girl REMOTELY interested in me, I would have to be a jerk. I tried it. I don’t care too much for it. I want my girlfriend and even my friends to know me as the guy that was nice to everyone. I don’t like to be rude, especially to women. So being a jerk will not work for me. I want a woman to like me for who I am. I don’t want to be a jerk until we’re finally going steady and then I’ll turn into a fucking simp. No. I want to be a simp straight up. I want to be chivalrous. I want to pay for dinner. I want to pay for that movie. I want to bring you flowers on the third date. I want you to meet my parents. I definitely want to meet yours.

I’m 21 now. I’m not 18. Only young bucks play those stupid games. Have nothing fights. If we’re going to fight, it better be for a damn good reason. I’m not about to fight over nothing and have make-up sex because you don’t know why I didn’t like your PB&J sandwich you packed me for lunch. Someone asked me if I grew from my previous relationship and I told them that I did. Will I get to prove it? We’ll have to see. I’m not sure. I was interested in someone but not anymore. I’d much rather have you as my friend than ruin what we have. If it turned into anything more, I just want to let you know that I will treat you like a Queen.

My good friend Kenny Dao of the San Diego Street Fighters fam (check out the blog at http://sdstreetfighters.wordpress.com) said, “A gentlemen will always be a plus, even when the girl lacks the class to appreciate it”. If a woman cannot appreciate the fact that I am showing her the respect that she deserves and abuses me for my class, then she can go into that group of other GIRLS that are looking for a free dinner or free movie.

So, ponder this lyric for me. Check out a Tagalog to English translator.
“Uupo na lang at aawit
Maghihintay ng pagkakataon
Hahayaan na lang silang
Magkandarapa na manligaw sa’yo
Idadaan na lang kita sa awitin kong ito
Sabay ang tugtog ng gitara
Idadaan na lang sa gitara”

i’ve been listening to more rock lately. it just helps me cope with drama. primal screams, yelling, screaming. it’s just a great therapeutic thing to do. i’m not a very mad guy but i can be. when i listen to this music, i become that guy quicker than i expect. not that this is rock or anything but this is a sick song.

here’s another song and band that gets my blood boiling. that’s not a good thing but when i hear this type of music, i just become a different person. it’s weird. blood rushes around my body and i become hot-headed. now i know why paintballers listen to this stuff. it gets your blood going.

MVP

on another note:

THE DENVER NUGGETS SLAUGHTERED (IN EVERY WAY) THE NEW ORLEANS HORNETS.

and yes i had to type that in all caps because i’m yelling.

final score…

121-63

in favor of the Denver Nuggets

and yes…i have a ‘Melo jersey too.

121-63?! THAT’S ALMOST DOUBLE (all caps again)! that’s embarrasing. to lose an NBA game by double? that’s horrible. the new orleans franchise ought to be ashamed of their actions.

from YAHOO SPORTS

i’m happy with our draft. so amazing. our picks look really good. everyone thinks we should have gotten an ILB or RB with our first pick but those weren’t much in need as much as we needed a substantial back up to Shawne “LIGHTS OUT” Merriman. When Merriman was knocked out last season due to a Torn ACL, you can see the drop off from the production of the LB corps. It kicked up a bit with Ron Rivera as the Defensive Coordinator but it still was lacking that fire. Jyles Tucker was an OK back up but now, we have a guy in Larry English who can play DE or OLB depending on the package. we can switch up from a 3-4 defense to a 4-3 in a matter of seconds with a great pass rusher like English. I’m proud of this draft.

Let’s go CHARGERS

A Sad Day in Show Biz “Bea Arthur”

Beatrice Arthur played one of my FAVORITE women in all sitcoms…

DOROTHY ZBORNAK from THE GOLDEN GIRLS

she’ll be deeply missed. no matter how old that show was, it was great to watch. in this household, we own a lot of seasons and i’m proud to say that we watch them.

from wikipedia.com:

Beatrice “Bea” Arthur (May 13, 1922 – April 25, 2009) was an American comedienne, actress, and singer. In a career spanning seven decades, Arthur achieved success as the title character, Maude Findlay, on the 1970s sitcom Maude, and as Dorothy Zbornak on the 1980s sitcom The Golden Girls; she won Emmys for both roles.

Beatrice Arthur

from the Associated Press:

Beatrice Arthur, the tall, deep-voiced actress whose razor-sharp delivery of comedy lines made her a TV star in the hit shows “Maude” and “The Golden Girls” and who won a Tony Award for the musical “Mame,” died Saturday. She was 86.

Arthur died peacefully at her Los Angeles home with her family at her side, family spokesman Dan Watt said. She had cancer, Watt said, declining to give further details.
