Amster God Dam...
Damn... I'm all the way in Amsterdam. This place is pretty cool. Walking down the street it kinda reminds me of a mix between Las Vegas, New Orleans, and Hollywood. I'm not feeling 100% right now... it might have to do with the 10 straight days of getting smashed???!!??
I just got back from the Heineken Experience... Grey would be lovin this place. There is Heineken everywhere. Too bad Grey's such a pussy n' doesn't travel for pleasure, cause this place is great... and don't tell me that you can get Heineken anywhere cause the Heineken over here tastes SSSOOOOOOO much better. I highly recommend the Trappist beers in Belgium, but this Heineken over here in Holland is da bomb.
Well that about raps up the update... not that you guys care... but I'm gonna go partake in some of the finer things over here and go grab some fries and a slice of pizza.

It's been a while
Man I haven't posted in a WHILE.... Norms been holdin it down okay I guess though, but now that he has gone to Europe, I figured I had better step back up... So lets do it right...
MisconceptionsRecently I was kickin it with a friend, and some of his friends, and they were talking about fantasy football... And kinda outta the blue my friend makes this comment about how I am a fantasy football hater... Lets be clear... I am not a fantasy football hater... I dont care one way or the other... AND I do understand that "fantasy" sports, are about the only sports, that white people can still beat black people at.
next up...
drumroll...Politics
You know I have this theory that the only person who could really lose to the republican candidate for president, is the person the democrats select to run... So in that spirit, I would like to make a little prediction about what I think might happen in this next election cycle, to those loveable little democrats...
First, Obama and Hillary Clinton are gonna suck all the money from other democratic candidates. Clintons camp will point out how inexperienced Obama is, and really truthfully, Obama doesn't have to do anything, because she is Hillary Clinton and people are going to hate her anyway...
Which means, Dennis Kucinich will become the offcial "hopeless loser" candidate for www.spyder-fonix.com. And he will remain our hopeless candidate until John Kerry announces that he is running.
Just after John Edwards decides to leave politics for TV starring in a new show with Al Gore, Obama and Hillary will split the southern vote down the middle, and all the white male people in the south ( i.e. the voting population ) will cast votes for the republican.
Obama in desperation will start playing up the fact that he is half white, and the republican guy will win, and hillary will start a talk show.
The iHype
Do you recall a few years back when Steve Jobs came out and said he had this new technology device that would revolutionize the way people listen to music?... and then when it was finally revealed it was an MP3 player... A $500 MP3 player, in a market saturated with $50 MP3 players.
A year after that 2 things happened. 1. I stopped trying to find the guy who was selling drugs to Steve Jobs, and I realized Steve Jobs was right. He had done it... ufckin crazy!... the iPod now has something like 80% of the MP3 player market...
And now there is the iPhone... I kinda want one, but I really hope it doesn't do to phones what the iPod did to MP3 players...
well thats it for now... hopefully I will be back soon...
I'm out...

Top 10: Beer MuseumsHome > Fashion and Lifestyle > Top 10 Destinations > Beer museumshttp://www.askmen.com/fashion/travel_top_ten_60/74_travel_top_ten.htmlAs a general rule, I recommend stopping by a museum or two on a trip to any choice destination, just to get in touch with the local art and culture, if for nothing else. I will be the first to admit, however, that these tours can get a tad boring. The one exception to this is the ever-popular beer museum: these shrines to the world's best brews are constant attention-grabbers and subject to pilgrimages from drinkers all over the globe. To clue you in on the world's best places to taste-test and learn about the ol' barley and hops mixture, I present the top 10 beer museums.
---- Number 10
The Brewery Museum Pilsen, Czech RepublicIn the city that gave birth to Pilsner beer, you'll find a museum notable for its detailed account of beer and its culture. It is one of the world's oldest such establishments and features cool sights inside and out. The building, of impressive Gothic origin, houses beer paraphernalia from the Middle Ages and brings visitors back to Ancient Egypt for a glimpse into beer's ancestry. After looking at the inner workings of a malt plant, you'll be able to sample the original Pilsner Urquell free of charge... providing you buy a decorative Brewery Museum glass.
Must-see: Check out the lifelike models of two classic pub scenes: one from the 19th century and the other from the 1930s.---- Number 6"De Boom" National Beer Museum Alkmaar, the NetherlandsHoused in a 400-year-old former brewery, this museum brings the art of malting and brewing to life. Filled with mock-ups and dummies re-enacting everything from harvesting to barrel making, it will soon be evident that "De Boom" is da bomb . The best aspect of this beer museum is the cultural spin it puts on its displays, showcasing the important role beer has had in Dutch society over the centuries. For the true connoisseur who appreciates ancient beer making, this is a highly recommended tourist spot.
Must-do: Amble downstairs to the bar and order up as many of the 86 choices of Dutch beer as humanly possible.---- Number 2Brewery Museum Brussels, Belgium
When talking about beer, one cannot overlook Belgium's contributions, which even rival Germany's. To get a good idea of the rich Belgian beer culture, a visit to Brussels' Brewery Museum is a must. You'll see contrasting styles, as guides take you through an 18th century brew house before showing off the latest technology in a modern facility. Though computers and high-tech equipment fill the rooms, visitors will see that the Belgians still add a personal touch to beer making as well. The bonus comes at the end of the tour, when brewers have been known to serve freshly-made malt to thirsty souls.
Must-see: Visit a classic caf after the museum tour, for more samplings of local Belgian brews -- this time, however, you might have to pay up.---- Number 1
Heineken Museum Amsterdam, the NetherlandsAs if the city of Amsterdam couldn't get more exciting with its Red Light District and, errr, greenery , the home base for Heineken beer also sits here. For a few euros, you can tour the old factory, which, though no longer functional, serves as a great place to kill an hour of your time. You'll learn the rich history of the Heineken business, see the brewing process in an interactive environment, and then be rewarded with several free beers at a pub by tour's end. If it's your birthday, the good people at Heineken might even reward you with a nice amount of suds to take home as well. Many tourists have been known to wobble back to their hotel rooms following this visit.
Must-do: During the tour, hop on a motion simulator and take the "bottle ride," which gives you an idea of what those green bottles experience in a factory.---- a pint of cultureThe next time your woman suggests you get more cultured by touring a museum, suggest one of the gems mentioned here. Not only can you get educated -- on the art of brewing, that is -- but you can also get a nice little buzz from the free samples that often follow a tour. Whether you fancy Heineken, Guinness or the unique flavors of a microbrew, consider spending an hour or two at these amazing beer museums.I'm from Chino and PROUD OF IT!"i'm out"

Top 10: International Drinking CitiesHome > Fashion & Lifestyle > Top 10 Destinations > Best drinking cities
http://www.askmen.com/fashion/travel_top_ten_100/133_travel_top_ten.htmlWhile there can be little argument that almost any city can suffice to cater to a drinking bender, some certainly hold precedence. Many details need to be taken into account when judging a city for its ability to host a drinking bender, but several factors are necessary to put it into the Top 10. The local culture should be friendly, the venues should be numerous and the booze should flow freely.
---- Number 8
Amsterdam, Netherlands
This city’s reputation precedes it for a very good reason: Everybody goes out, and the bars and pubs are full seven days out of seven, making it a perfect stop for a bender on any night of the week. The most popular spots are the Leidse and Rembrandt Square, where drinking venues are plentiful. The red light district also offers worthwhile stops, such as Durty Nelly’s Hostel and the Last Waterhole. After enjoying a cold beer, visitors can hit the street and enjoy what makes the red light district so famous. Beer is the most commonly consumed beverage and generally runs at around $3 to $7 for a pint.
Don’t Miss: The Bulldog Mack -- whether sitting inside the bar or on the patio next to the canal, this is a great spot to meet both locals and tourists alike.
---- Number 4
Prague, Czech Republic
Though the city has lost its luster as the newfound jewel of European tourism, Prague remains at the top of most lists for just about anything, including getting your bend on. Pubs and bars are everywhere, and the city has become as visitor friendly as any other city in Europe. The visitors are friendly too: Who wouldn’t be friendly in a city where you can get a fine liter of Pilsner for a buck at just about any place? Furthermore, the beer is strong, usually between 10 percent and 14 percent. Beware of tourist traps, where the beer will often double or triple in price. Most bars list the prices on menus that can be found outside the doors.
Don’t Miss: Lavka Bar and Club -- the terraces overlooking the river are perfect to relax with a cocktail, and the dance floors inside are the best in the city.
---- Number 1
Munich, Germany
Plain and simple, this place thrives on benders. Beer is king here and it is served in steins as large as a grown man’s thigh. In Munich, revelers are encouraged to drink as many beers as they can put down, so getting into a state of debauchery is guaranteed.
Known in large part for the Oktoberfest celebration, the city’s beer halls are full throughout the year. For a festival atmosphere, visit Volksfest in April, which is held on the Oktoberfest grounds. Afterwards, feel free to pass out in the park lawns -- you will not be alone.
Don’t Miss: The Lowenbrau Keller and the Paulaner am Nockerberg -- these historic beer gardens solidify the legends of Oktoberfest and offer a truly authentic German beer drinking experience

Only 2 More Weeks...
Damn... less than 2 weeks until I head over to Europe.
Wow... I'm soooo amped to go this time. Now that I've already gone to Europe a year and a half a go, and also my trip to Mexico gave me a lot of valuable knowledge. Trust me just like GI Joe "Knowing is half the battle". I've already got a great itinerary planned out.
In two weeks I'll be over in London. I'm gonna have some people call some people n' hopefully when I'm over there I'll get to go hang out n' do some Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with World Champion Roger Gracie. He's got a few schools over in London. My buddy also lived just outside of London when he was growing up, so he knows his way around, and he's got some buddies that are gonna meet up with us.
I'm not a huge soccer fan... scratch that... football fan, but I wanted to go to and English Premier League game when I'm over there. There are gonna be two of them while I'm over there. One of them is one of the bottom teams, but the match on Sunday is Manchester United vs. Arsenal. That's like the Yankees vs. Red Sox over here. I can't wait to go get drunk at an English pub n' root for the Arsenal.
