Cough.
Cue the Dramatic Music with Japanese Taiko Drums.
Voice Over Guy, "Deep within the jungles of Los Angeles..."
Random people's voices ---
"Will, are you ever going to blog again?"
"Hey Will, why aren't you blogging? WTF?"
"Dude, whatever happened to your blog?"
"You know what, Fuck you, and your blog."
Voice Over Guy "Stood one man. Alone."
In a bar, after 5 whiskeys, Will looks out, bloodshot eyes, "I can't do it. I can't keep blogging. I've got nothing to blog about. All I think are negative things, things that would make people sad." He breaks a glass in his fist.
Cut to: Will stares at his bleeding hand in the shower, "Dammit, I keep starting a blog and it gets all negative and then I stop and erase, I CAN'T DO IT!!!" A tear is shed, but no one can see it because of the shower.
Voice Over Guy, "And day's passed, and months passed, but one day..."
Will looked out through his eyes, through his car window, and into the sky and he said, "I can blog again. I can do this."
Voice Over Guy, "Faster. Stronger. And still Crazy. Will Gong is back!"
Yup, it's true. I'm back and here to get ya'll prepped for the Crazy Trip I am planning, but more on that tomorrow.
Cough, I hope.

Pro Basketball. I'm loving It!
Hello Friends,
As you can tell I haven't blogged much, and this has much to do with the fact that this time last year, the Wizards were getting knocked out of the first round by the Cleveland Cavs again, and I had much hating on Lebron to do. This year, the Wizards didn't make the Playoffs by a long shot and so I have not blogged.
Not that I'm protesting, but you know some times we need things like the NBA playoffs to make us Blog.
So this year, I wasn't even really interested in the playoffs until the Bull Vs. Celtics turned into a boxing match. These to teas are putting on the most intense, amazing, brutal, mind blowing series ever! They've had like 7 overtime periods in 6 games. Everyone is playing out of their mind. This is where superstars are born. This is where Rajon Rondo "RONDO!!!!" can become a star, and as one of the smallest players on the court, beat people up and not get kick'd out "HELL YEAH!!! Short Mischievous Bad Assses." Where Ben Gordon, can run around and just throw up a giant piece of crap and the ball goes in. Where the guys who no one knows are becoming legends (BIG BABY DAVIS!!! Who does HE Happen?). And Ray Allen is the Man. DUDE IS SO CLUTCH!!! Him going to Boston is like the best thing HE could have ever done for himself and for basketball.
IF, IF you don't respect Professional Sports for being a bunch of spoiled rich selfish millionaires, you should a get a tape of GAME 6 and watch these two gritty teams duke it out for Four Hours. FOUR HOURS!!! I can't wait for Game 7 on Saturday Night. Who knows what will happen? WHO KNOWS!!!

Pulling a VC
You know friends, in life we all go through some hard times, sometimes externally brought on, sometimes internally brought on. And it's hard and trying, and you wonder jeez how am I ever going to get through this. I just want it to stop. I want a new life, a new world, this old one sucks.
And at this crucial juncture point, you may be tempted to "Pull a Vince Carter."
Named after Vince Carter, because he so fabulously admitted to playing like complete shit in Toronto in order to get traded, sent out of town. This guy was loved. But he hated his town. He hated his job. He hated his team, but he definitely loved himself. Dude, betrayed his team, his friends, his fans, and then went back to being Vinsanity when he got to the Nets. I still can't believe he admitted to tanking himself. Who does that?
Anyway. When life is in the shitter, don't go to the darkside. Don't "Pull a Vince Carter." You'll be happier later, and your fans won't throw shit at you. (And yes, we do have fans, although you probably shouldn't call this to their faces, or you'll get slapped, like a lot.)

Open Letter to the Editor
LETTER TO THE EDITOR:
"You do not write on your blog in weeks. I open
my Google reader this morning and see that you
have written on said blog. With some interest, I
open said blog reader and then I am sadly
disappointed in said blog. It says nothing important.
It's not funny or profound or thought inspiring or
interesting - it's just words - Boring! I stopped writing
my grant proposal and wasted 30 seconds for that.
Note to Will: a take two on writing said blog must occur
soonish.
Rachel"
EDITORIAL RESPONSE:
John Madden Retiring is a big deal. Big Deal. And now it may take me weeks to write again, because god only knows how hard it is to find something interesting to write about. Sheesh. Now I feel pressure. Thanks.

A Sad Day
No, it's not sad because I've finally decided to blog again.
It's a sad day because John Mdden has retired from broadcasting. I've been busting his chops for a few years, because his announcing skills had gone down to the point where he was almost a caricature of his old self, but I still loved the old guy.
Adios John Madden.

My Essential Album List (2009 Version)
I recently asked an Intern at work to put together a list of her essential albums, because I was curious about what a 20 year old would put down. So in all fairness, with a couple of hours set aside, I decided to work out my own list.
Putting together a list of your most essential music albums is like take a trip back through space and time. It's about finding the CD's, records, tapes that during a point in your life you could not live without, they are part of you, they help define you, and forever, no matter how embarrassing, ingrained into your DNA.
Each track, or single are the dishes that help create a meal, and when you come across a dinner where everything from the wine, to the entree, to the dessert is top notch (or riddled with delicious fat product) you remember it forever. Sadly, most dinners/records are just eh, or mass consumed and forgotten for the upcoming trip to Taco Bell.
The albums on this list are not Taco Bell albums for me, but they might be for you, which makes all list reactions exciting, curious, and intensely nerve racking, like the placing of two souls up against each other looking for some semblance of similarity. If someone doesn't get your music, then they don't know you, they only get you, and in time might understand you, but it's not that Moment when you're driving and suddenly you both hear a song that you love and it might inspire you to shout that "YOU LOVE THIS SONG" and then the other person reacts the same way, and you look at each other and you know that you are two of the same at least in that Moment.
But life moves on, and you don't forget those moments, those songs those albums, but you grow and change and so does life and so does music.
The List (2009)
- Michael Jackson - Thriller (Helped Define my childhood, )
- Billy Joel - Greatest Hits 1&2 (also helped define my childhood, Loved it in the backseat, loved it when I rediscovered it)

- Janet - Janet (If? Every song? If?)
- Fleetwood Mac - Rumours (those cracked people made some damn good songs.)
- Sheryl Crow - Sheryl Crow (Sometimes you need sheryl crow)
- U2 - Achtung Baby, The Joshua Tree (I don't need to explain these)
- Shania Twain - The Woman In Me (The CD that officially said i liked Country) Come On Over (oh man...uh the perfect pop cd, maybe, the CD that made me lose all street cred, yes. All Street Cred.)

Another Year, Another Jorge's Mix
Hey kids!
So every year or so, (Okay there was one point where I took almost 3 years off) I put together a Jorge's Mix CD. And the only prerequisite for a Jorge's Mix is that Jorge should like the songs. One year, I think it was Jorge's Mix 3, I put too much rap on it and he didn't like it, and I had to make some changes.
Anyway, This morning I began work on Jorge's Mix X (not 10, because well my numbering for these things is all messed up, and would probably need a total retcon at some point).
And I worked furiously, and I think it's done.
It's funny. I think this is the most Electronicy of them since the first one. But this one also kind of has the most Retro-80's synth music attached to it. And it also might be one of the darkest in tone and lyrics, uh, but you don't actually have to listen to the lyrics and you can just ride the wave of sounds. Anywho,I Like the shit out of it. So whatev's. If anyone wants one just give a hoot and I'll send you a CD.
Jorge's Mix X - All My Friends
Featuring Songs from ---
Bloc Party
Madonna
LCD Soundsystem
MGMT
Lady Gaga
M83
Phoenix
And other fabulous Artists you've never heard of... uh like Kanye West (right. Like no one's ever heard of him, fricken sellout Will)
