The New Year is a ringin'

It's officially 2009. I spent my first New Years Eve in style...playing Xbox with all the other losers in the world. I was going to go out but it seemed like a lot of work. I didn't get out of the Gym until 930 PM and I was pretty much spent after that. The reason I was at the gym so late was that I finally sold my DVDs. I just had them sitting in one of my bedrooms on the floor collecting dust. Every night I'd go in there and make sure they were still alphabetized and then I'd pick out a BluRay instead. I felt kind of bad for them...They were like an ex girlfriend that I still lived with. But now they have moved onto a better place. Some little Mexican Man and his daughter picked them up. He told me that they were moving on from VHS to DVD...and I have to say that the guy is pretty smart. I probably paid around $10,000 over the last 8 years for those movies and he got them all for 1/10th of that in one swoop. I am sad to see them go but I have plenty of BluRay movies now and in 5 years I'll be doing this all over again...aren't there people who say something about stupidity not being about making mistakes but repeating them? Well I say fuck those people.

I've been passing my time at the gym by listening to music lately. Usually I watch TV while I do cardio, but lately I just haven't found anything good on. I've also been listening to a lot of Hip-Hop lately. I guess I kind of go through spurts as about a year ago I was almost certain Hip-hop had lost it's flavor. As much as I hate to admit it I'm enjoying the new Kanye...even if he does think he's rap Jesus. One thing that I have been wondering about though is the phrase, "certified hustler." I've heard it a few times in songs and it's made me wonder how you become a certified hustler. Do you need to get something notarized? Or may be take a class 2 nights a week at the YMCA? Do certified hustlers have a union, and are there non certified hustlers that hustle for less than the certified? I've been looking for a second job and I'm thinking this may be it.
