Fenty, Keep United In DC

"Thank you Kevin for this D.C. United jersey and congratulations on your terrific season, it is great to see over 20,000 fans here at RFK supporting D.C. United. It is my hope that your fans will soon be coming to your brand new soccer stadium at Poplar Point in Anacostia. World class fans, and a world class team like D.C. United, deserve a world class stadium. And I am going to make it a priority to help you build that stadium. Thank you -- congratulations and good luck to the Black-and-Red!"

-Adrian Fenty on Oct 29 2006 (right before a mayoral election mind you)

DOES JACK EVANS GIVE A CRAP?

Convention Center Hotel?? Up in smoke?

Keeping Shaw a SLUM?

Supporting RAPISTS? RACISTS? and BIGOTS? More!

Supporting Xenophobes by standing silent?
Crime Crime Crime!

Not Supporting Democracy? Supporting Black Market Trade? PHOTO OPS PHOTO OPS PHOTO OPS! 9th Street Decay! Library Fiasco! Double Parking Cultists!

Found this...

this was shot right AFTER he was accused of being a Judas, though not shown here Bobby replies/exclaims aside to his band mates "Play it fuckin loud" They then proceed to tear through (the good tear through) the most rip roaring version of the song ever.....

RIP ROARING!!!!!!

I think this was the first time since Buddy Hollies' death all were able to breath a sigh of relief. Music was not dead, rock and roll was not, as would be exclaimed by the cheep Dylan wanna be years later, Don Mclean.

Enjoy!!

Meanwhile BACK IN SHAW!! SHAW!!! IT'S A STATE OF MIND!!!!

Did you see the Washington City Paper's article on the Post's article on LeRoy?
What's the news?

Read it at the City Paper's website...I think what's more important here, is to point out that Leroy is a douche, not that the Post covered the wrong angle.

Douches Unite!!!!

I can has cheezburger?

Been stalking I Can Haz Cheezburger?, for quite some time.

I have also gone so far as to make my own ICHC? inspired pics, which I proudly display below.



Created this after I found out the St. Louis' prospect of an MLS team could possibly share United's name.


Created this by using Smith's early morning quote, from a time wasting website.


Created this pic when it was determined that the Red Bull supporter group ESC, where using Barra Brava & Screaming Eagles chants, cheers and songs.

Sweet Jesus, I'm famous!

Ninjamonkey3000 has been picked up for syndication!! Well sort of.....

New blog service, Shawington, has added Ninjamonkey3000 to its blogroll.

Since Shaw is the "Bloggiest" DC neighborhood, someone had the bright idea to "aggregate" 33 blogs into one super blog. über blog, if you will.

What does this mean for Ninjamonkey3000?
*Ninjamonkey3000 will need to figure out how to add Shawington to it's own blogroll.
*Ninjamonkey3000 will have more posts about Shaw. (technically the Ninjamonkey3000 Batcave HQ is half a block out of Shaw, but who is counting geography, SHAW is really a state of mind).
*Ninjamonkey3000 will need to start to type good!
*Ninjamonkey3000 will need to post more often than our current one post every 5 years. The public have spoken, THEY WANT THEIR NINJAMONKEY3000.
*Ninjamonkey3000 will need to start posting more pics of thyself so random anonymous Shawsters can slap me on my back and say "HEY even though your NM3000 BC HQ (Ninjamonkey3000 Batcave Headquarters) is technically half a block outside of Shaw, you are awesome and you represent Shaw's state of mind, but can you fix yer typing? It's not good."
*More anonymous comments that say, "you suck!", or "shut up, fatass!"


Note to Shawington.........
Please fix your blogroll, the blog is Ninjamonkey3000 NOT Ninjamonkey or Ninja Monkey.

Thanks for tuning in!!!!

HAted by all...

loved by few!!!

Keys were lost, but now they are found....
Derbies were missed.
as well as a romp.
Played some footie... got hot almost passed out
Played croquet!!! Pimm's, Ikea Bisquits and more Pimm's.
Watched a game, won 1 nil
Played lackluster game of Trivial Pursuit.
Drank a beer.
Gave a ride
WE DON'T USE THE WORD FAG! (that's the royal we).

Found these, enjoy:

A little late as always

As usual I am late to game!!

I recently picked up the Peter Bjorn and John album Writer's Block. THough I'm not "into" all the songs off the album, they are a smashing groop. Ideal tracks for listening: Objects Of My Affection, Up Against the Wall and off course the crowd favorite Young Folks.

In other news I am job searching, but massive soul searching is needed before this can happen. Ever been in a rut and you are unsure of how to exit said rut? Possibly I am taking the rut stuckness out on the wife, which is unwarranted and unfair on my behalf. I need a big change!!! My pain should not be her pain!
Though I can't blame all my work issues on my employer, I just can't stand the fact that I am ignored on almost a daily basis.

Fireworks are the SHIT!!

4th of July, wow.

Explosions everywhere until 4 in the morning...

America FUCK YEAH!!!!!!



First we sat on the beach and viewed the above.

Then we sat on the crow's nest of Le Spot and watched the neighborhood EXPLODE!!!

Awesome!!!

Aweseome!!!

everyone else is, so I might as well...

A little late, but better than never

Got to thinking just a second ago, nothing is worse than having to pay for your own birthday dinner.

So it goes......

The ridiculousness of my work place

I just returned from the all purpose drug store that also sells things other than drugs (CVS), why did I go to the all purpose drug store that also sell things other than drugs?

Well I had to buy a condolence card for my co worker whose bird was murdered while being babysat by the "office manager". It turns out that the "office manager"'s mother accidentally SAT on the bird, affectionately named after a type of raw japanese food.

Ironic that the bird that was being birdsat (babysat) was killed by being SAT upon....

This shit is hard to make up...

ABSURDISM at its finest

A thought for Memorial Day Weekend....

What would Jesus do?

Park Illegally

Change that what would Sweet Daddy "I was a snake oil salesman" Grace do?

Besides take moeny from his poor parisheners to fuel his desire for earthly material items......

PARK ILLEGALLY....

Thanks to DC for all the parking enforcement.... YOU ARE AWESOME....

Shiloh owned buildings condemned, CENSURE THORPE

About time the city has started to to listen to residents of our neighborhood.

Found this article from the examiner, Leroy Thorpe does his usual playing the race card.

Hey Leroy, I'm still waiting for that riot!!

A commenter brought up an interesting item. Why has Jack Evens not censured Leroy Thorpe? He is dividing this neighborhood, he is the bigot, racist, sexist and rapist!

For more on Leroy Thorpe visit Leroythorpe.com.

CENSURE THORPE!!

chk chk chk & holy fuck @ 930

Amazing!

Did not know what to expect form holf fuck, the openers.l But their drum & bass with noise was reminiscent of some early shoegaze......

!!!, wasnt sure what to expect. I loved them the first itme I heard them while listening to KEXP, but really I had no expectations.

They are most definitly capable musicians, but I do have to take issue with Nic Offer's weak imitation of Mick Jagger. Nic needs to learn some more moves if he ever wishes to be clos eto the same league. His was but a weak imitation.

I have to say I have not danced as much as I have on a Monday night in a real long time. THANKS !!!

Note to the 930, if you are going to enforce no smoking or drugs, PLEASE ENFORCE THOSE RULES ONSTAGE AS WELL. !!!'s guitarist was openly smoking something (probably weed) out of handmade apple pipe. YES, edible drug paraphenalia.

First and foremost HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

Series of Events

Two weeks ago, I smashed 'Bea' on the stage of the Velvet Lounge and then again on the wall of the Velvet Lounge.

Friday- Ate at La Tasca, CRAPPY TAPAS that taste like my home cooking, with our friend Kristine to help celebrate her divorce. Then ended the night at Tunicliff's with Diet Cokes and Cape Cods.

Saturday- Slept in, the wife made breakfast, slowly awoke then watched last weeks New England v. Chicago. Twellman you SUCK! Eventually dressed in my Preppiest/Upper Crust/High Society informal wear for an afternoon of croquet with the Official Unofficial Croquet Society of DC. Consumed quite a few Pimm's and Iced tea, hit some balls through a couple of wickets and cheated, cheated, cheated, cheated! HUZZZZZZAHHH!
Then ate dinner at Clyde's and heard all the dirt of some married Joe who is attempting to have an affair. Due to rain we kept dry by staying in Clyde's for a couple extra minutes. Eventually we made our way out to rural Northern Virginia (via METRO) to catch Greg's band's CD release show. Saw two bands and left during Greg's set (sorry Greg, but we were tired, drunk and not feeling social). But they are really a great band, go see them.....Lejeune Lejeune Lejeune Lejeune Lejeune

On the Metro back, some machismo no neck schmuck asked if I wanted him to beat up a group of mooks (read GWU trusties) who mocked my Preppiest/Upper Crust/High Society informal wear. Huh??!?!?!?!

We sat across from teen wearing nothing more than a hankie, who was either on her way to fuck for money or some XTC fueled all night dance party. She slept the whole ride from Clarendon to Metro Center.
The wife wanted to walk from Metro Center to home, slighty drunk and extremely exhausted I agreed. It was raining! We got wet, but enjoyed the stroll, by-passing Little Time Square and past the fools in line at A Venue (waiting in line to go to a club????????I do not comprehend why anyone would do this in the rain or just in general)
We eventually got home and watched our recorded msut see tv (YEAH DVR!), My Name is Earl and the Office as well as CSI!!!!
Around 1:30 we heard several gun shots, I mistook them for firecrackers so I did nothing. Ten minutes later another gun shot or firecracker was heard. I immediately called 311 (311 was chosen because I was honestly unsure if it was gun shots or firecrackers). A call was made, I did my job!

Sunday- Slept in, then made breakfast for the wife.... Her favorite French Toast (did you know in France french toast is called LOST TOAST?)!!!!
Over preparing and eating of breakfast the wife and I watched last nights Galaxy v. New England. This was a tough match to watch because I did not want either team to win. New England the finer of the two teams beat Landon "Forehead" Donovan's Gaylaxy 3-2. Definitly a sweet match.

Checked my email, and found that KEVIN!!! from the Bolophonics had this to say:

Mighty!, after thinking about it for the last few weeks I've decided that
I want to stop doing The Bolophonics. After 3 years, we are still
begging and cajoling our friends/family/co-workers to get out to
shows; for whatever reason, we cannot build a fanbase of any size.
Maybe we suck as a band, maybe we don't know what we're doing from a
promo standpoint, but I'm also getting kind of burnt out on music in
general and don't really have the fire I once did to keep it going.

Now I need to find a new band, I felt the end coming and decided not to keep it going cause I too wanted to end it. But since I was only involved as the bass player with close to zero artistic input (not by my choosing) I am not so sad to see it go. Sure I am sad I won't be playing out anytime soon but not sad in the sad be depressed for days!

Eventually we got out of the house to BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY. For her work mostly, we made stops at Pearl art store and Home Depot. We also stopped at La Madeline for 'french' food. Had to complain to the manager about the conditons in the outdoor eating area. Supposedly La Madeline has staff to clear dishes and used food trays. Piles of dirty dishes and detritus had collected and was a happy hunting ground for the areas sparrow and starlings. The wife and I had to clear a table ourselves.....I chose to complain or more honestly bring the manager up to speed on the conditions becuase I spent and exorbitant amount of money on food that was prepared prior to my arrival. $21.00

Finally after eating, the wife and I decided to stopped by GUITAR CENTER \m/ :) \m/

Saw a bass that I had been eyeing on E-Bay, Fender Jaguar Bass (a new bass, Jaguar has previously been found in the guitar and baritone guitar variety). I test drove the bass for a while then pumped into David, who at one time dated a friend, who I have been acquanted with through the DC RAWK scene. He was most recently in Third Programme, but I am sure he is in some other GROOP currently. Well any way long story short David works at Guitar Center and was able to extend to me the "BUDDY" Rate. He knocked a $100 off of the store price, which was already below the prices I found on E-Bay. A quick decision was made and I purchased a brand new bass.


YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Night!

How the world should be....

Real Story HERE!!

technorati?? what the hell?

Technorati Profile

not sure what it is, but here goes nothing!!!!!!

Literally!

Oldy but goody!

Give this man his own television special, PLEASE!

Word of the day!!!

Aniconism -noun-
opposition to the use of idols or images.

Aniconism is the absence of any representations, in a restricted sense those of living or divine beings, and more generally, any type of human substitution.

Jesus and I. 33

Top Priorities for Fenty's DC school system

SOme Punk ass bitches have it in their mind that Mount Vernon Square is with in their 'borda' or territory. That territory being Sursum Corda. Not to keep it real or anything but they are sorely mistaken. Several blocks mistaken. Their sorry ass tags, before my act of cleansing, lack the clear definition of a kingdom. Hardly do they have a kingdom. Could Sursum Corda be considered a kingdom? The resources are hardly anything to reign over or even battle over.

But a note to the complainers who receive graffiti or tags, for cleaning the threatening bullshit like the above 'borda' marker I used the following:

No need to complain. Just clean it yourself.

Take notice Fenty your ignorant jerkface plebeians need to be schooled in cleaning, art, spelling, penmanship and geography. (Like I'm the one to school anyone.)

Porn Porn Porn Ridge and Illegal Parking

NIMBY group demands closure of local porn palace. Zoning Board & DCRA determines establishment to be illegal and requires it to close. Porn palace thumbs nose at NIMBY group and stays open. Zoning Board & DCRA enforces nothing, NIMBY group is unhappy & the porn patrons enjoy wood and leave with large smiles.

At least there are no whores getting their tricks on in my alley, so far. This is not something I can guarantee when the establishment closes for good. So we got that to be happy about. As much as I enjoy hearing whores scream bloody murder at 3 in the AM, I tend to think that keeping the porn palace and its glory holes open will keep the whores, BJs and soiled condoms out of the alley.

(Of course I am sure that someone will accuse me of being a new comer for taking the stance of wanting to keep the porn palace open. What a minute that doesn't sound right??? {that's a shout out to my main man & neighbor rr446 [he accused me of being an activist once]})

(Anyway onto the next topic!)

Now if only we could keep the bastards from M & J construction from parking illegally in the alley. The bastards who drive the truck and live in the ugly green condo are complete jerkfaces. They don't even have legal DC tags on the truck and their command of the macho tough guy bullshit is just that bullshit!


How about paying the fees like everyone else. But of course, me and my former roommate parked his piece of shit volkswagen (Maine Plates) on the property on Ridge Street currently owned by the charter school for 'troubled' boys on 6th. That is when I used to 'run' with my 'boys' up on Ridge.... 470... 4 life!!!! So anyway, I was guilty of illegally parking. But that was when I was living the transient lifestyle and I didn't own a car. Who knew I would still be in DA HOOD 9 years later.......?????

Anyway.......

Video on the interwebs, AMAZING!

Amazingly I continue to catapault my way into the 21 century.

My Canon camera has a video function, I am now able to shoot videos and post them online.

What's next, flying cars?

Official Announcement: BRINGING YOU THE RAWK!!

Thanks to Ginger for being the starlet and Caroline for the photog!

Help us bring the rawk next Thursday April 26, at the Velvet Lounge.

Mad as hell and I am not gonna take it

Is this thing working?

or am I tired?

CREATING THE BUZZ NOW!

Not the best flyer made but I needed something to pass out this evening.

April 26th at the Velvet Lounge we are playing with the Hall Monitors (THE best band in DC, hands down) and some band from somewhere else The Sundresses. We play first come early STAY late.

This could very well be our last show ever..... Peter is moving to Beijing and no drummers are knowcking on our door. It is bound to be a great show, most Bolo shows are!!

Exchange on the street (sidewalk)!

"Hey buddy you got some change?"

"How you doing today?"

"DRUNK!"

Lunch, JUST NOW!

i spied a seat, after collecting my yummy indian fare from my favorite fast food india joint, in my usual spot (against the windows on the booth/bench seating). At the table next to mine was one of the local street people who you can ususally find at the corner of 11th and NY ave bouncing from person to person and car to car asking for change. Usually with some desperate story about just getting out of a hospital or need for food.

This plump, jovial individual who emmits an air of euphoric disturbance was busy chomping away at her chosen meal of the day; bar b que, macaroni and cabbage....

Each bite was interspersed with mumblings about some "house that contained a baby" and how HANDSOME I was. To all of which I smiled and nodded as I dove into my lamb thali AND PALAK PANEER.

As the tables around us started to fill and the noise of our section started to rise, the mumblings turned into screams and yelps that were acompanied by over exagerated facial expressions towards no one in particular.

Now, none of this behaviour bothers me, for I am known to act weird and abrasive at times for no particular reason. But I could clearly sense our neighbors eating were getting anxious for this woman to finish eating an leave.

When the previously mentioned street person got up to leave, a waft of air stirred up by her movement hit my olfactory organs. At first I was unable to discern what the smell was. As she got up to go she revealed that the back of her dress was covered in feces (or what I assumed was feces) it was then that brain made the connection.

This is when I started to think of friends and colleagues who had to deal with mental illness in some form or another. The pain and frustration of daily battles between reality and constructs of an ill brain, is something I don't think i would have the strength for. How could I cope? How could I go on ? If this was something I had to live with day in day out? And to think I cursed to myself eveytime she came to me begging for change ( I always thought she was a crackhead looking for her next hit).

The gentleman sitting two tables away made eye contact with me as if to say "FUCKING LOONIES!!!". My reply, of contemptuous stoicism put him in place.

at which point I got up and moved to another table to get away from the smell of shit.

To the management of DC United

So, I'm an asshole!!!

So, I harp on subjects that are not as important or relevant to conversations in play.
So, I don't say hello to the demolition guy who woke me from my beauty sleep with the crash boom blam of his backhoe type thingy.
So, I give the dump truck driver, who is parked on a street that doesn't allow trucks with a minimum capacity of 1 and a quarter ton, the stink eye.
So, I bitch and complain without giving real solutions.
So, I shit on people as much as possible. For no reason what so ever.
So, I'm a hypocrite and can't keep my stories straight.
So, I trip the light fantastic.
So, I find guilty pleasure from listening to American Idol in my sleep.
So, I watch you as you walk up my block after you just bought crack from the guy on the corner.
So, I watch you stumble home from a night of HEAVY DRINKING at the local bar/cafe and question (to myself) whether or not you belong in the front yard of the house you are entering. PS I am not your buddy.

Its not like you are any better than I. At least I'm attempting to find my own inner peace,
reality tv show, ultimate cheeseburger.

WHO CARES?

Phone is broken

Every time I pick it up it automatically dials a colleague. Thank goodness she is only in the office Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Fricken goddamn phones!!!!!!

Just learned there is a possibility of receiving a free ticket to see Antelope (GREAT) at some benefit at the Black Cat. Thanks to DEBBIE from RockandRomp.

The band, the romp and cults!

SO the band played Friday night in front of a room full of people. Over 90 infact....WE did alright, next were with the Hall Monitors, probably the best band in town. Mark your calenders April 28TH or 26th, I can't remember....

Felt WOnderful. Maybe indulged on a few too many beers. Night started at Polly's with Nif, a Smithwick (3 to be exact) and a meh burger.........We made our way to the Velvet, I was nervous as heck. Left Jenn as I paced and attempted to buy a fake mustache off a lesbian in search of some tail! She said the fake stache gave her the pull she needed to get some nookie. The lesbian didn't even stay for our set, well yeah!!! the thought of getting some pussy would do that to me as well!

Spent the day working the door for ROck and Romp, collecting $5 from each adult. Reminded me of my days at Peasants. Cept lOt less drunks. Plenty of stumbling, slurred speech and crying, just not done by the drunks.... Lemon Face, Middle Distance Runner and SOft Complex were the bands that played. Soft COmplex sounded right up my alley, I need to see them again soon.

CULTS!!!
even worse, Dollar Cult$!!!

gold domes are but lies forthe weak and easily bought!
just cause they can tell a great story doesn't....oh nevermind!!
