Cheeky update.I hadn't locked into Spyro for ages until tonight. The set was brilliant, with flawless mixing as standard and a top-notch selection. I didn't record it all; TNT's Nissi escaped, but still there's about an hour and a half's audio here with more than enough classics: 138 Trek, Champagne Dance, 21 Seconds. That Gorillaz tune.It worked though. Nothing but happy vibes, this is a straight
Hello All,
It’s time for OSF once again. This week’s theme is: Singers Turned Actors or Actors Turned Singers. I decided to stick with one over the other and chose singers turned actors… because it’s more fun than the flip side.
My first choice is Diana Ross, a.k.a. The Boss. Ms. Ross made a smooth [...]

This week's excellent theme is birth-year songs, and being born in 1987 i have so many to chose from. I was going to go with Whitney's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody," or Bon Jovi's "Living on a Prayer," but i think i've used both in previous themes. So my pick today, is Janet Jackson's "Lets Wait a While." Got the love the positive message from Janet with her freaky ass↓FOR MORE OLD SCHOOL FRID

You have a small business and it’s not where you want it. You have so much good stuff but no one knows. If these are the statements you are making you NEED to market your business ASAP. If you’re thinking, “We are marketing. We have our business listed in the phone book and the local paper.” My comment to you is, “that is so sad.” You need to get your business into the “in the now”
I still find that a significant number of BJJ people still have issues defending lockdown/double triangle based half guard sweeps, Eddie Bravo's famous Old School Sweep in particular.There is the Sprinter escape from the lockdown, but lets say that your opponent has started the sweep already by pushing you up and grabbing the double underhooks (To which you should immediately posture up and post y

Gerardo (born Gerardo Mejía on April 16, 1965) is a rapper and singer who later became a recording industry executive. Born in Guayaquil, Ecuador, he has based his career in Los Angeles, California since his family moved to Glendale, California, when he was 12 years old.

I know you've all heard the news recently about how Eva Mendes has fucked in all 50 states. But it turns out it's not true. The reason it's not true is because Washington DC is a district and not truly a state. Here are some old school pix from her - she loves being naked. I love watching her naked. Although she has battled some demons, she is attractive physically. But I have also come to le

Back in the ‘90s, I read Tobias Wolff’s memoirs of growing up in a struggling, single-parent family - This Boy’s Life (1989) - and of serving as a junior officer in the U.S. airborne division in Vietnam - In Pharoah’s Army: Memories of a Lost War (1994). I was impressed by both books, for the honesty [...]

The Playstation and Playstation 2 aren't exactly "old school" consoles, but have some great games nonetheless. I am a huge fan of the Suikoden series for both consoles. When it comes to the newer systems, I would say the four games in the series that I have played (1,2,3,5) are my favorite RPG's on the newer consoles. Granted, Final Fantasy is an excellent series, but it lacks the army building ch
