Max Barry’s “Syrup” – Official Movie Trailer – Starring Amber Heard (VIDEO)

Wow, a ton of Max Barry news today on MaxBarry.com. The one aside from this awesome trailer that intrigued me, was that they’re possibly adapting his novel, Jennifer Govn’t as a TV Series instead of a movie. And now a days, with runaway hits like: Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead, that really interests me. The idea of a hit TV series is something that is a writer’s dream. Not sure who would pen the shows, but either way, it’s a cool development. The way we watch TV now is by BINGE viewing on Netflix. And anything that falls in line with that, I am all for! Though, I am a Max Barry superfan, so I’d probably watch it on first run TV. Just saying. P.s. Amber Heard is so hot, I need Max to write a scene in Syrup 2, where she farts in my face! HAYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

P.p.s.

When this movie trailer says the cult novel, Syrup, they weren’t kidding. I had my freshman year English teacher make it required reading for the class. That’s a huge compliment to an author. That was back in 2001. FYI!

.@ByronCrawford’s New Book Just Dropped: Infinite Crab Meats


Byron Crawford’s New Book Just Dropped: Infinite Crab Meats

I don’t read books. I’ve read 1.5 Chuck Palahniuk books. I’ve read 3.5 Max Barry books. And 1 Artie Lange book. The .5 means I get half way through a book, then lose interest and stop reading. And Max Barry is my favorite author. LOL. Oh, I’ve also read 2 or 3 Malcolm Gladwell books. But honestly, that’s it. And the last book I read? That was Byron Crawford’s first book (Mindset of a Champion). It came out last year and it was pretty short, but a great read. Since then, I’ve read the autobiography of Jack Schitt aka nothing.

The point in all of this is that Bol aka Byron Crawford just released his second book. It’s called Infinite Crab Meats. An ode to Rick Ross, if you will. I am already about 1/3rd the way through, and it’s hard to put down. I still haven’t gotten to the chapter in which he goofs on Rap Genius, but I know it’s coming. Spoiler Alert — Bol somehow managed to write a chapter about an average looking white chick with giant cans, he fancies on Tumblr. Detailing her hardships of instant internet fame, having her youtube account deleted for being too risque, lying about being in a car accident and setting up a PayPal donations account, only to have it terminated (probably for fraud). He’s right. He knows what’s interesting. Semi-attractive train-wreck white chicks with luscious cans are interesting. It’s just not every writer that has the ability to pull out those morsels or nuggets of info (the same way the same chick would pull out a cadre of items out of her bra, Peggy Bundy style). Anyways, I’ve just sort of spoiled one chapter, but the good thing about having infinite crab meats at your disposal, is that where there’s one nugget or morsel, there are way more, ready to be digested.

So buy it now, it’s only $3.00 on Amazon Kindle — (I am currently reading it on the Kindle app on my iPhone, but I think you can find it for iBooks, and it’s also avail. on paperback — which is a big step.
It’s the equivalent of a bum-rapper, shooting his music videos for the first time on a RED camera. Not everyone has those means and know-how.

If you’re looking for other formats of getting a hold of the book…

I really shouldn’t have to “sell you” on this book… more info here … he’s my fav blogger.

Learn all about how he got started in blogging making fun of the developmentally disabled, how that naturally lent itself to writing about rap music and ultimately led to a sweet gig blogging for top rap magazine XXL, and how he ended up getting fired. The Mindset of a Champion takes you inside the world of hip-hop journalism to show you just how sad and corrupt it truly is. It’s filled with information the Illuminati doesn’t want you to know. It’s your favorite rapper’s least favorite book.

Nuff said.

Probably One Of The Most Genius Things I’ve Ever Written… (From 2004) #REVISITED


Probably One Of The Most Genius Things I’ve Ever Written… (From 2004) #REVISITED

Funfact: my blog was originally titled, “Shabooty’s Madness!

If you didn’t know, I’ve been blogging since the Fall of 2003. Props to myself for 8 years in the game. But genius doesn’t happen overnight. Lol. There are signs, my ninjas. In 2004, I was part of a blogroll (that’s a cute way of saying a set of links on one’s blog). It was called the ‘Progressive Blog Alliance.’ If you can’t figure it out, PBA = names of liberal blogs. The titles of all the various blogs intrigued me. I scanned the varied titles and saw a story waiting to be written. It just jumped out at me. I wanted to revisit this post from 2004. I could have copy-pasted it back into this post, but I wanted to leave it untouched, how I originally posted it.

NOW, GO READ THE STORY!!!
