I had to put this video up. What a phenomenal surprise for a car fanatic such as myself to get the opportunity to push a Lamborghini Gallardo on the Las Vegas Strip. After a quick lesson and test run, I was able to get the joint up to 140!!!
Wow. I may have to move the Lambo infront of the Aston Martin Volante on my supercar wish list now.

President Barack Obama Wins the Nobel Peace Prize
What a momentous day. President Obama has been recognized globally for his efforts to effect real change. Some will argue "It's too early, and he hasn't done enough". Others will hate and contend on the other side that "He has spread himself too thin, and is doing too much too soon". All I say is Whatever. The humility he shows in this video acceptance should affirm what a great man and leader he truly is.
The man is an icon, and I am proud that he is the face of our Nation. May God continue to watch over him, his family, and our great Nation.

Suttle Thoughts Cranks a Capitol State of Mind
Went to a Go-Go recently in DC at Takoma Station. Had the pleasure of hearing one of my favorite bands, Suttle Thoughts. Pardon the grainy image, but the iPhone video is not well suited to dark clubs. Got good audio though.
In typical Go-Go fashion, Suttle took a currently popular song, and "enhanced" it. This time was noteworthy to me because Jay-Z lost a civil suit for jacking a Rare Essence's song, Overnight Scenario, and taking creative liberty to make it one of his Hip Hop bangers.
Hip Hop and Go-Go have always had a tenuous relationship. Both are inner city musical styles born in the 70's in major American cities. While Hip-Hop has blown up and gone mainstream, Go-Go has stayed near its home base of DC. Go-Go aficionados will reference Amerie, Wale, UCB, EU, Salt N' Pepa, Jill Scott, and other popular songs that featured Go-Go extensively and went mainstream. While all of this is true, my point is that Go-Go is still largely unknown outside of the DMV. And Chuck Brown's Bustin' Loose was probably the pinnacle that Go-Go would bust loose onto the charts or popular radio.
I still hold out hopes that Go-Go will continue to endure and thrive. It is true musicianship with live intruments. The "pocket" cranks like nothing else in any genre of music. I tell all my friends around the world, there is truly nothing like the sway and swell of a crowd full of dance endorphins at a live Go-Go. Truly special.

VICTORY!!! SE Titans up in Cardoza
I am proud of our boys. All 4 of our squads went up to Cardoza High School in Uptown, DC, and represented SE DC strong. They played fast and physical supported by a raucous crowd. After the game they ran to the sideline and got on their impromptu celebration. Some girls even made the trip up to represent the SouthEast Titans as a cheerleaders. What a great day for Football in our Nation's Capital. Let's Go!
