News on the ODB biopic

GZA Of Wu Tang Clan not in for Ol' Dirty Bastard Biopic 
 

New York Daily News is reporting most of the members of the Wu-Tang Clan are willing to star as themselves in an upcoming biopic about the late Ol' Dirty Bastard, called Dirty White Boy.

Word around is Michael K. Williams of "The Wire" fame is set to play the lead role as ODB. I MISS THE WIRE!!! Anyways, the producers have advised  "we have no desire to cast any actors as the Wu-Tang".


Random online music site (Pitchfork I think) says that of all the members, GZA the genius will not be a part of it.
GZA's camp said: "Spoke to GZA today. I will tell you 100% he is not appearing in the ODB / Jarred Weisfeld movie. I can't speak for the rest of the group, but definitely not true about GZA.


Given the GZA's character this is probably out of respect. Looking forward to how this film might paint a different picture of the last few years of Ol dirt dog's life?


More as the picture develops. 

Long time no speak

Back again for the first time in a long time. Fluke visit? Who really knows. Not that I feel I'm good at this I just really, really, really didn't have much to say. Not that I have much to say now.


Getting on with it I see that Punk'd is back. Maybe it never left? Anyway, the art and/or craft is alive and kicking. Not that I'm a fan but Ashton did punk Drake the other day. Woo hoo! No clue who Drake is? Don't worry he's just the Degrassi Junior High Canadian actor guy turned rapper. Well if that's what you wanna call what Aubrey Drake Graham does? Aubrey? Not that I'm a fan of the rap in my old age but what this Aubry does is more like luke warm R n B. Nothing really against the guy but stick to acting buddy. Moving along! Ashton Punk'd Drake and here it is for your enjoyment.





Thanks for the footage Perez ;)


Oh Drake, your so gangster! Shoulda stuck to your day job.

Holding off for much too long

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder but I doubt it I, I really, really doubt it. How this relates to me NOT running for thirty days I'm not quite sure. Just putting it out there. Today was the day! After a month long absence I got back our there for my first run of 2012. Crazy to think that its actually 2012 the supposed year of reckoning but I'm over that already a mere few days in. Even crazier is that I went from running for 30 days straight to not running at all for 30+ days straight. I'll save you the details of numerous beers, an over abundance of food and the way too many cigars over this timeframe.  What can I say it was the holiday season? I'd like to think I was just shutting down the engines and getting a little me time after one hell of a year. Here's to hoping 2012 is ten times better. I'm already thinking of 1000k running of the year. Should be easy enough as 2011 brought just over 700k and that was just was I recorded with the help of Nike+.

So here's to you and yours! Wishing you all the best and this new year. Maybe this is the year you find your strong!


Distance: 3.51k

I've come to my senses that I've become senseless

30 Days of Running. DAY 30

Drums please!


When you start something you better finish. Well guess what? I did it! 30 days of running has come to an end. Woo hoo! Never ever really doubted the possibilities to be honest. Quite the feat though I gotta say. 30 days of running straight really does something to you. When I started I didn't exactly think of this as a challenge to be honest. I figured 30 days no problem. Not that I had issues with completion but the last week of the challenge was tough. I really had to push myself. Not to run exactly but to run at a level I was proud of. Maybe I was pushing myself a little too hard with my new found pace or maybe I was just pushing my self to succeed. In the end the satisfaction of completing a goal you set for yourself wins over anything. I repeat, I did it. I feel stronger now. Not exactly as per running but in a mental feel. I completed something I set my mind to and to my own satisfactory. In completing my goal I also hit a running marker. My final run of 30 day challenge helped me to achieve 700 kilometres of running as per nike plus. True be told I've ran over 700 k since I started running some one year plus, the 700 k is just what I've registered with nike plus and their website. Whoa is me! I'm impressed regardless of a 30 challenge or the 700 k marker. What do I have to say after all of this? Don't give up. Believe in yourself. You shall overcome. Here's the final run stats


Distance: 8.69k
Time: 38:54
Pace: 4:28/k

All y'all, all y'all crumbs
We made it

30 Days of Running. DAY 29

One run away from the finale.


Truly proud I made it this far. Can't believe there's only one run to go. Its all flew by so fast. 30 days of running has pretty much come and gone. Today's run was quick as I had plans and have really been feeling each run as of late. The weather wasn't exactly co-operating either. Another run in the rain. Its funny the looks you get well out running in the rain. Today was short and sweet. Maybe tomorrow I'll go out with a bang. See you then


Distance:4.01k
Time: 17:52
Pace: 4:26/k


Song of the run: Quiet storm, Mobb Deep

We've been adored, for keepin it raw, nuttin less or more
I score everytime for sure

30 Days of Running. DAY 28

Day twenty-eight and in two days I'll put this challenge to bed. I've noticed as of late my pace is a little slower then usual but maybe its the daily runs catching up with me. No biggie but its something that has caught my eye as this challenge runs its course. Not that I'm complaining but a few seconds is a few seconds. I've always been in the ideal of shaving time and not adding time. Go fig right?

Distance:5.57k
Time: 25:35
Pace:4:35/k

30 Days of Running. DAY 27

Sunday brings run 27, one step closer!! Exciting to think this challenge is three runs away from being complete. Woo hoo!! Never doubted that I would finish I'm just shocked and awed at how fast this  challenge has seemed to fly by. Today's run had to be for distance. Lately I've been overdoing it with the quick and dirty so I had to get a long run in. Truth be told I just don't think I'd have had it in the tank to finish a distance run over the last few days. Hopefully being back in the saddle I can throw down a distance run tomorrow as well. Hmmm....


Distance: 10.02 k
Time: 46:27
Pace: 4:37/k


Song of the run: I will survive, Cake


At first I was afraid, I was petrified
I kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights just thinking how you’ve done me wrong
And I grew strong, I learned how to get along

30 Days of Running. DAY 26

Day 26 and SO not feeling it. Last night was a little too much for me. No matter what I did the effects of last night seemed to hang on. My body was begging me not to run. There was no way I could even think of a distance run on a day like today. Good times last night with an old friend but boy am I feeling it today. I'm coming to the slow realization that I'm not the rockstar I used to me. Some new flash there. Anyway, I seemed to hang in there for the entire run and soon enough the out and back was over with. I knew this wasn't going to be my best run, quite possiblely my worst but at least it was over. Little disappointed but a run is a run. Can't be at your best all the time.

Distance:3.52 k
Time:17:03
Pace: 4:49/k
