"Why? Why the fuck would I put those two people on a record? It’s like what does peanut butter and jelly…Do you ever eat strawberries and peanuts? Grapes and peanuts? Who had the nerve and the gall to blend peanuts into butter and mix it and spread it with jelly and then put it in between two motherfucking pieces of bread? Who had the nerve? This motherfucking asshole! Who had the nerve? Who had the nerve to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich because I would have to give them a running high five. Running and jumping." On why he put Twista and Maxwell on the same record.

HOW To: Make Fried Oreos
Fried Oreo Thursday was in full effect tonight. I had been craving them all day.Fried Oreos taste like a hot fudge brownie with a thin layer of Oreo cream in the middle surrounded in a soft funnel cake shell.
You will need:
1. A gang of Double Stuff Oreos.
2.Funnel Cake Batter ( I'm not sure how to make funnel cake batter
because I buy the box of funnel cake mix from Kroger. If you can't find it there then Google how to make it. It might take more of an effort and money but I swear it is worth it.
3. A deep fryer or a makeshift one. Anything deep fryer-ish.
Take the Oreos, one by one, and dip them in Funnel Cake
batter. Lightly place them in the fryer until they puff up and turn golden brown. Remove them and place in a paper towel. Immediately serve with vanilla ice cream and top with powdered sugar and chocolate sauce.

WordRetirement.
Words that should be given a rest.
1. Swagger- Four years ago I used to live near a homeless man named James that had the most swagger I'd ever seen. He wore a red leather baseball cap and walked with a slight bop.What he lacked in suitable clothing, he made up for with confidence. Anyone that carried themselves with an air of self assurance had swagger. Now that the word is synonymous with expensive clothes and hype beast it should be destroyed and people with self-proclaimed swagger should be exiled.
2. FML- You're being too dramatic.
3. Basically- A word meant to introduce the main point you want to get across. In the past few years it seems more and more people choose to use the word "Basically" to introduce a random tangent to people that don't care.

Alright, so I decided to take down the last post. I truly meant what I said and I still do. However I did not mention enough how deplorable I think adultery is. It is grossly disrespectful, hurtful and embarrassing to all parties involved. I just wanted to get off my chest how much I hate the fact that this situation involving a man and a family, that many of us don't know, is receiving this much attention. I'm just tired of hearing about it. If this is a nation that wants to witch hunt celebrities for their personal lives then why not make an example out of Tommy Lee, John Edwards, Charlie Sheen,David Letterman, and other men who also cheat but receive about the same amount of attention that Lady Gaga will get for whatever she wears tomorrow. Through the magic of blogging I can immediately delete any post I second guess. What Now?! Though as a blogger I still chose to write about it. I'm guilty as well for shining more light on a situation that is starting to get old and sad quickly. For anyone who felt I was defending his choices that was not my intent.The word Tiger will from here on not be mentioned on Deven.Spacey again unless I'm talking about Tony or the WU.

NO BS BRASS BAND
I recently had the pleasure of catching a live sneak preview of what NO BS BRASS BAND, will have in store next Friday, January 15th at The Camel. Although you may have heard Jazz, Funk, and Hip-Hop fusion bands before, NO BS adds a bit of Rock n' Roll to the mix. In the land of Gwar and PBR, anything too groovy might cause a riot. NO BS BRASS BAND has a sound as unique, organic, and real as each of it's 13 members. Warning, it does get loud! My ears are still ringing a little from the rehearsal I sat in on this morning. Then again like they always say, If it's too loud then you're too old.

HOW TO : Get A Perfect Afro.
Starting with Straight Hair: 1. Wash and dry your hair. 2. Try a mousse or volumizing cream made for heat if you want to add more texture to your hair. 3. Use a curling iron or curlers to curl your hair. The smaller the curl the better, so use the smallest curling iron you have or the tiniest curlers for the best results. 4. Once your hair is curled, flip your head upside down and spray it with hairspray. Let the hairspray dry before proceeding to styling. Starting with Curly Hair: 1. Wash and dry your hair. 2. Apply a little almond, jojoba, or other oil or cream to your hair for texture and shine. 3. Comb hair a bit with a wide toothed comb and let it air dry. Turning Curls into an Afro with Heat: 1. Blow dry hair on the coolest setting to blow out the waves and curls. 2. Gently comb with a wide toothed comb. 3. Focus on the ends of the hair to shape the afro. If you have straight hair, tease the ends a bit to get them to hold the shape of the afro. 4. Run your fingers through your hair to finish styling, and pat your hair into place with your hands. Turning Curls into an Afro without Heat: 1. Comb curls and waves out with a wide toothed comb. Use a comb one size smaller for further curl separation. 3. Set with hairspray if you have straight hair. ^^^^ (Deven's Fro Stays Glorious... Never Flat..360 degrees of spherical Sexy) |

Vanity Plates
Did You Know That Virginia has More Personalized License Plates Than Any Other State? Out of the 9.3 million personalized plates on the roads of America, about one in 10 are in Virginia, according to rankings provided to the AP by the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (MSNBC). While I agree that it's fun to see who's GR8 N BD or who's 2CUTE4U, maybe we can spend more time thinking about why all your over sized SUV's are unnecessary Virginia!! There can't be that many little league teams in the state.

Dear Diary...It's Me, Deven.Spacey
Last night I had the weirdest dream. I walk into a Latino video store to rent a movie. Its a movie about American Football but I completely forget the name of it. I start looking at all the other movie titles, all in espanol, to try and refresh my memory but the fact that theres so many and I can't speak Spanish for shit, confused me even more. I start trying to describe the movie in Spanish, which in my dream I'm not that bad at, while onlooking customers try to help me out.
"El Replacements?"
" No"
"El Waterboy?"
No!!!"
I think the frustration awakened me because I woke up thinking, "What movie WAS I trying to think of? I don't even know the title in English!" so at 4:45 am. I started Googling "American Football Movies" so I could just figure it out and go to sleep.
It was Rudy.
Love,

Censorship
HAMILTON.GLASS
artist.
Richmond Va. artist, Hamilton Glass, painted a mural on the back of computer tech shop,ALB Tech of a man with a gun to his head. Glass titled the piece, "The Recession" as he was inspired to paint it by the nation's current economic downfall. Although the piece stirred up very little controversy, some neighboring businesses felt that the mural was offensive enough to detract away customers from their establishments. Glass agreed to paint a new mural over it that in the end not only made
a bigger statement than the last, but it also addressed two major groups of people worldwide ; those that feel powerless and those that feel voiceless.
