February 22 -- A Doctor is Born


And by "doctor," I mean Dr. J, Julius Irving.
The dude who influenced Michael Jordan to become Michael Jordan.


Look, there is little I can say about the man that has not been said in his time on the planet, so I will let a highlight video tell it this time.


Happy born date to the great doc!

2008 - "Stop the world, I want to get off!"

-Metaphor: noun (uncountable) ( rhetoric ) The use of a word or phrase to refer to something that it isn't, invoking a direct similarity between the word or phrase used and the thing described, and without the words "like" or "as". (countable) The word or phrase used in this way. An implied comparison. I need to learn you folks something for a moment here... In Greek mythology, Sisyphus [ Phlip note - Wikipedia link, that] was a king punished in Tartarus by being cursed to roll a huge boulder up a hill, only to watch it roll back down, and to repeat this throughout eternity. The word sisyphean means, according to the American Heritage Dictionary, "endless and unavailing, as labor or a task." Sisyphus was son of the king Aeolus of Thessaly and Enarete, and the founder and first king of Ephyra (Corinth). He was the father of Glaucus by the nymph Merope, and the grandfather of Bellerophon. Sisyphus promoted navigation and commerce, but was avar...

True Story©... Sage Advice Only

  I've been doing this all wrong...      It has occurred to me that everyone who has come to me -- be it as Phillip, Moe or Phlip -- for advice over the last few years has received whatever nonsense I could come up with on the spot. No thought was given to resolutions or even task-based problem solving, just "how can I make this person's situation as entertaining as possible for me?" The results have been documented in the pages of this very website if you've been around a while. Needless to say, a time was had.      But again I've been carrying this all wrong. Perhaps, perhaps maybe I've been seeding my own bad karma in seeking my own enjoyment in the situations of others and some of my outcomes have shown this.

Wayback, posting from 1994

Holy shit, I have no real recollections of the shit that happened in 1994... Let's see, here. 14 first half of the year, finishing 9th grade, and 15 the second, starting 10th. As I lead into this post, I am almost gearing myself for an uneventful year in hip hop. I guess there is nothing I can do about it but jump on my research and tie it all together, no? January shows us that some of these years like to get off to slow starts. February the Fugees released their album neither of you remembers, "Blunted on Reality." A friend of mine had it, but I did not like it and still don't, I left it back there. March Gangstarr dropped "Hard to Earn," Vanilla Ice with "Mind Blowin'" and Insane Clown Posse had "Ringmaster." Fuck, 3 months into the year and I own ONE album released of four, even as of when I type this... Sad. April delivered MOP's "To the Death," Nas' "Illmatic" and Outkast's "Southernplaya...
