The Young Elvis: G-Eazy’s Fashion and Music

Perfecting his dapper style (ThisSongSlaps.com)

The Young Elvis —so they say. He’s pretty much at the top, but Elvis? G-Eazy still hasn’t reached top ten, even with the recent June release of These Things Happen, but I’m cool with that, who knows if Elvis would be in the top ten today if he were just starting.

Actually, Garald Earl Gillum, a.k.a, G-Eazy, 25, might be standing on the shoulders of the King of Rock ‘n Roll because of his fashion sense. Not rhinestones, that wouldn’t fly today—well maybe Kanye. Anyway, G-Eazy calls his style dapper. Dapper is more early Elvis: slicked-back hair, leather jackets, denim jeans, and shiny expensive watches, that kind of stuff.

G-Eazy’s fashion sense started in high school with the Bay Boys. They started the fitted cap and long white tee craze that caught on in the mid 2000s because of their music success. Then he did the 50s Beat style, and now the throwback to the roaring 20s with his Dapper look. All and all, I’m excited to see how far he takes it but I guess the question I have for you is, what labels do you want to give him?

These Things Happen landed the opening act of the Billboard music awards. “This was the greatest night of my life,” G-Easy said. It’s what everyone says, but for some reason I believe him.

G-Eazy has been privilege to collaborations with hip-hop powerhouses RCA records, “A$ap Ferg” and one of the more successful rapper/songwriters today, Def Jam Record’s, Rick Ross for the “I Mean It” remix. *song in link below*

I’ve grown up with Geezy. After hearing this album, I realized once again how much hard work pays off, and more importantly, it shows us youth and young adults of the world to follow our dreams with persistence. I know if I stay faithful to my desires, These things DO happen.

Omg: Wanna Go to Taco Bell?

Crashcade.com

I live in a rapidly growing city. Denver sometimes smells like urine and you probably won’t walk a block down our main drag without getting asked for change or a cigarette. My city is beautiful.

colfaxavenue.com

I told you that so I could tell you this.

One recent night, I sat in a booth at my local Taco Bell. They were a little short staffed, and tensions ran high. The poor girl behind the counter had obviously been put through the ringer. I imagine all manner of drunken assholes had berated her and blamed all of their night’s issues on the fact that they had to wait for their XL grilled stuffed burritos. I observed the tense and disgruntled patrons as they gained a sense of camaraderie. They united in their mutual discontent of not being fed in less than thirty seconds.

theotherjuliette.blogspot.com

Somewhere between the patrons’ side-glances and nods of discontent, a woman walks in, her back hunched. She meanders between patrons as they stand in wait for their wax-paper packaged diabetes.

She stopped and whispered at each person individually. One by one they shook their heads solemnly. Several didn’t even acknowledge her existence. Staring blank faced at the wall, they blatantly ignored her as she talks at them.

Finally she sauntered up to me. We made eye contact, and she asked me for five to ten dollars. Her reasons were undecipherable, as they were buried in arbitrary grumbling and body shakes.

I declined. She said bless you, and walked on to a family at a table. The night went on.

As we all sat there, a little taken a back at a body walking directly into an establishment at 11:00 pm and asking for money, it seemed that we were all confronting our own feelings, sentiments and judgments about the scenario that had just come to pass.

Midway through a smug thought about how I had come so far I hear this snot nose little shit trill from the other side of the room. “CAN YOU BELIEVE THE AUDACITY OF THAT WOMAN. COMING IN AND ASKING FOR FIVE TO TEN DOLLARS.”

He looked around the lobby (because my Taco Bell has no dining room, it’s merely a lobby) for validation for his profound statement. He then pontificated, “WHAT NERVE. WHY? SO YOU CAN GO BUY CRACK ON THE CORNER WITH IT.”#meangirlsquotes

At this point, he stared me directly in the face, while I’m trying not to look at him for fear of what will happen next, and yet he persists.

So to stay true to the Taylor Mali quote “If you ask for it I have to give it to you.” I looked at him and laid bait. “I don’t see it that way.”

Dumbfounded, this young man responds with the question, “Why?”

grumpyelder.com

I said, “THE REALITY IS, A LARGE MAJORITY OF OUR POPULATION IS NOT HOMELESS AND PANHANDELING BECAUSE THEY ARE MERELY DRUG ADDICTED. THEY SUFFER FROM MENTAL ILLNESS THAT YOU HAVE NO COMPREHENSION OF. THEY FREQUENTLY USE DRUGS TO SELF MEDICATE ISSUES THAT WE AS A SOCIETY REFUSE TO HELP THEM FIX.” #socialgood

For many of our “homeless,” the lifestyle most of us enjoy was never presented as an option. As a forty-year-old black woman with a potential mental disability she is one of the most marginalized groups in America.

“THE FACT THAT SHE ASKED FOR FIVE DOLLARS AND NOT FIFTY CENTS, SAYS THAT SHE HASN’T GIVEN UP ON BEING A PART OF SOCIETY. BUT OUR SOCIETY HAS GIVEN UP ON HER.”

With that, everyone in the “lobby” stared at me and the young man. He awkwardly turned around to grab his bag of burritos, now chilled by time and tension and walked out.

I don’t feel I had all that much of an effect on him. And it’s not his fault, because in hindsight, I recognize that he most likely focused on the fact that he got dressed down at a Taco Bell by a stranger. But damn, it felt good to yell my opinions loudly in public!

10 Tragically Common Missed Connection ad's

 CrashCade.com

Missed connections are a phenomenon perpetuated by intense loneliness and a fear of  confrontation. Is fueled by a desire to be polite, cordial, and entirely passionate from the safety of your keyboard, because in the minds of its avid users, there may only be one shot at this crazy thing we call love, life and the pursuit of happiness.

If we miss it, and by some sad state of affairs or some act of crippling fear and social anxiety we don’t talk to that person we thought was gorgeous, we may never truly be happy. Fortunately, however, we all get to benefit from this vast sea of anonymous vulnerability. Often, we are inspired to be honest about our feelings and fears of being alone. We get to laugh at the crazy relatability between our own and others’ obscure neuroses.

I feel it is due time we make record of 10 tragically common missed connections ads.

1.

Ouch lady!! Cant a guy jerk off in public without making a federal case out of it? Thanks a lot Obama. But really guys, please stop whacking off in cars, parks and highways.

First of all its rude. Don’t get me wrong, I love the excitement of someone seeinge me naked and in the act as much as the next person, but there is a large portion of our society that isn’t ready… it’s also kind of inconsiderate to those folks who may have gone through some trauma. Your genitals may not be the most welcome sight for them on their commute.

Another point I feel I should, but shouldn’t have to make, is that that shit is dangerous. I know a girl who crashed her car into a snow bank flicking her bean on a rural highway. Thank god no one got hurt … do you think there is a study on public masturbation related fatalities? 

2.

#Ohmyy. that was dirty. It’s funny how the lines between missed connections and casual encounters get blurred in these posts. Funny thing is, I usually come to missed connections seeking some sort of longshot in online validation  on a day when  I’m feeling fat. However, I always end up staying for the laughs and sentiment.

3.

I love how frequently people have hookups at porn shops–and how they never seem to get the other persons number, email, or telegraph line. You have my vote on being edgy and experimental, but if it starts to burn while you pee, dont complain to me. Call the person that gave it to you–oh wait, you can’t.

You better call Tyrone

4.

Wait, what? Does google translate work on the spelling and grammatically challenged? Part of me is hoping that this is a joke. This is just painfully stereotypical of a walmart patron to post an add with a lack of appreciation for spelling and developed thought. However, I love it, because no matter how shallow and how poorly proof read this was, I find it endearing for one reason: he waited days to send it. In my mind that means he spent days thinking of her and concocting exactly the right thing to say so that he might woo her away from her man candy, and into his loving embrace… sadly this is what he came up with.

5.

Reader: Intrigued and jealous of “You”.

6.

There were way too many creepy one-liners this guy could have used–but he didn’t. He was just a typical old dude at a typical Home Depot being shy, and that’s why I love it. It makes me smile and feel warm inside. Go ahead read it again.

7.

What a poet.

This kind of ad usually has me give up the ghost, and go back to my public masturbating. I mean really? Contrived and dramatic writing on a public scale? What a ghastly display of attention seeking and dramatic depravity. You should be ashamed…. Who does that? Certainly not me, heh heh *bows out awkwardly*.

8.

I’m not sure if this is a real apology or sarcasm. Either way, these stranger to stranger posts that aren’t sexual at all are some of my favorites. However, I’m not sure that a craigslist apology will help in any civil court case, but it’s the thought that counts, right?

9.

oh hey denise. wassup wassup…

10.

Man, these give me all of the “awkwards.”  I feel bad for everyone in this scenario.  The guy for feeling desperate enough to lie to someone to get the deed done. I feel bad for the girl for being manipulated. Bad for the friends in the middle. That said, this may be one of the most TRAGICALLY COMMON missed connections posts because it encompases a plea for understanding, romance, lies and friendship. Leaving all people feeling like they got ripped off.

Giant Siberian Hole Suggests End of World? Maybe Not

Giant hole in Yamal (The Siberian Times/Konstantin Nikolaev)

CrashCade.com

The Siberian Times reports a large hole 80 meter wide of unknown depth. The hole is located in the Yamal Peninsula, a name which is also known as “the end of the world”.

Yamal Peninsula (Wikipedia.org)

I am no scientist, but taking an aerial view through the Google Maps of the region, one can easily see that the region is geologically spotty. Because of this, we can assume that such geological structures are not necessarily out of the ordinary in Yamal with the except that this hole is extremely wide.

Some sources believe that the hole is a sign of the actual end of the world, meteorites, or a UFO invasion. They cite scriptures and the fact that the region is nicknamed “the end of the world”, but the truth is that scientists have already determined that the hole has been caused by an outward explosion from an underground source.

Given that the area is largely undeveloped and one of the richest sources of natural gas, FromQuarksToQuasars.com believes that when pressures are sufficient underground due to the melting of under-soil ice, underground explosions can take place much in the same way when you uncork a champagne bottle.

Champagne and cork exploding from bottle (HuffingtonPost.com)

In the video below, you can see a recording from a helicopter flying near the hole. The hole is actually large enough to fit several helicopters, however, none have flown in for a more in depth look.

Scientists are currently investigating the hole and solidifying their hypothesis that the hole was caused by the melting of under-soil ice. If it turns out that they are correct, then we can actually attribute the situation here to Global Warming.
