O I will regret this tomorrow
Friday December 23, 2005 – 1:26 amHELLO!! I am drunk right now. Eric and his housemates had a MIX TAPE PARTY and I got drunk and now I’m gonna blog about it. HA!!! yes. and I’m not going to hit the backspace key to correct my errors, because this is GOOD BLOGGING. heheheheheh. So the rule was: everybody who comes has to bring 2 copies of a mix CD. And all the mix CDs get put in to a central location (in this case it was a backpack) and when you leave you grab 2 out of the bag, hopefully they’re not yours. So what I did — I kinda broke the rules a little but it was good anyway — I made a DVD mix tape of all 80s hip-hop videos. I will post the tracklist if I can, we’ll see. But the POINT is, I had a lot of fun and I did drink a whole lotta wine (for me, like 3 or 4 plastic cups worth), and now I’m fuckin’ high as a kite. I almost wrote a note to GOOGLE to tell them how much I love them, don’t ever change Goodog! I LOVE YOU!!! I llove all of y’all SO SO Much. Yessss.
So I will attempt to retype the tracklist now. This is all stuff I taped off MTV and BET in the 80s and transferred from VHS to DVD-R. I tried to do it in more or less chronological order but I prolly got some of the years wrong.
1) Fat Boys "Fat Boys" (1984)
2) Fat Boys "Jailhouse Rap" (1984)
3) Time Zone "World Destruction" (1984)
4) Grandmaster Flash "Style" (1986)

7) Joeski Love "Pee Wee’s Dance" (1986)
8) Kool Moe Dee "Wild Wild West" (1987)
9) JJ Fadd "Supersonic" (1987)
10) JJ Fadd promo from Yo! MTV Raps
11) Salt ‘n’ Pepa "Push It" (1987)
12) Salt ‘n’ Pepa "Shake Your Thang" (1988)
13) Cookie Crew "Born This Way" (1988)
14) MC Lyte "Lyte as a Rock" (1988)
15) MC Lyte & Positive K "I’m Not Havin’ It" (1988)

29) Ice-T "High Rollers" (1989)
30) Queen Latifah "Dance for Me" (1989)
31) Oaktown’s 3-5-7 "Yeah Yeah Yeah" (1989)
IS THAT IT? I thought there was more. Um, yeah. I gave a copy of this same thing a couple of weeks ago to a friend of mine too so if he sees this, he’ll know I’m a fraud and I didn’t really make this mix specifically for the party but whatever. I think it’s a damn good mix and I would watch it again if I weren’t sick of it already. I can’t remember who ended up with my DVDs at the party, oh well. I ended up with two that I don’t know who the fuck made. OH! One of them says who it’s from: Justin. Who is a girl, not a guy. That one is called "Full Body Press: Sensual Music for Cold Winter Nights, Brought To You By Justin". THAT will come in handy I reckon, because it is cold, although there is currently no other body around and blah blah about what I said I was not going to talk about on this blog anymore. OH!! The other one is from Bonnie!! Who I do remember from the party because she looks so much like my friend Alyce it’s a little scary. That one is called "Turning Into a Plant". Neither of these mixes has any tracklist whatsoever, so that’ll be fun. I LOVE YOU GOOGLE!!! Okay… that’s enough? Well I’m blogging arent’ I? That was kinda the goal wasn’t it?!?
I LOVE YOU ALL, GOODNIGHT!!

Well the problem is I don’t know how to *copy* DVDs, only make them. And I already deleted all that stuff off my DVD recorder’s hard drive. But I do have my copy and Eric’s getting one too… so if I figure out how to do this I’ll give you a holler…?

haha, you didn’t even seem that drunk when i drove you home! i’m excited to get my mixes back from eric. i know what’s on his already, but i’m super-curious about the one called EL ALACRAN.

And boy was I grateful to get that ride, dude. I was okay when I got home — tipsy but okay — but then I downed a whole bottle of beer in like 5 minutes, that was what did it I think. Eric saw this before he went to bed and called to make sure I was okay, I just couldn’t stop giggling. Then I got the hiccups so bad, and well, the body rejected the offending material and I got some sleep so now I’m just very very thirsty. I don’t do that very often, maybe once a year.
Totally funny that we ALL went home and blogged about that party!! (whether we were fit to be blogging or not)

Wow Edith… sounds like you had a blast(and gave a nice blast to the porcelain god as well).
*e-mail is forthcoming*
You know we all love you too E ;)
