Donde Esta La Biblioteca?

Happy Cinco De Mayo, which I'm pretty sure loosely translates to 5 pounds of Mayonnaise. From what I remember the idea of this day is that Jerrod Mayo and OJ Mayo have an eating contest and the first one to eat 5 pounds of Mayonnaise is the winner, if Jerrod wins, then it'll be an early summer, if OJ wins, then 6 more weeks of spring. Ok, so I just double checked, I was way off, it's actually just the 5th of May and there was some kind of battle that Mexico won over the French, which happens, did the French ever win a war? Well, whatever, now I'm not really sure how this holiday is perceived in the Mexican community, but I kinda feel like it's sorta a St. Patrick's Day kinda thing, but honestly, I'm not a big fan of Corona's or Mexican beers and I hate Tequila, so not that fun. I do like Tacos and Burritos and Nachos and stuff, so I guess I'm good with the food.

Ok, random thoughts for today. First of all, what's the deal with Ice Cream, like it's solid right, I understand that if it doesn't stay cold it will become a liquid, but here is my question, why when you buy Ice Cream is it by the quart or half gallon or pint or whatever, those are liquid measurements. I don't know, I don't get it, if I go by Ice, it's by the pounds, no one buys a gallon of ice.

So, anyone else download the new Firefox 4 yet, the setup is a little annoying with how the tabs are at the top, cause for anyone with Window's Vista, when you put your arrow up near the top of the screen, the bar comes up and gets in the way, pretty annoying.

So, Bruins are once again up 3-0 on the Flyers, I feel better about it this year then last year, but definitely after what happened last year, won't be comfortable until the Bruins have won the 4th game and are shaking hands. Playoff beard is coming along nicely, although one person who isn't growing their playoff beard anymore is Conan O'Brien, who had his beard shaved off by Will Ferrell this past Monday, if you didn't see it, you should check it out:

Celtics need to step it up on Saturday, must win situation, sounds like Shaq is gonna play, so that should be a help. They had their opportunities to win both the games in Miami, game 2 more so then 1, but doesn't matter, they still lost, but now they need to take care of business at home and try and steal game 5 in Miami.

Ok, now I know I said in my last post that I was done with the 80s but I just can't let it go, and there was one other thing that I totally to mention that happened in the 80s, 1983 to be exact, and it involved MTV. This of course when KISS decided to unmask, take off the makeup and costumes and just be normal guys, much to the dismay of their fans and pretty much everyone, and here it is:

Probably didn't help that this wasn't the classic KISS Lineup, Vinny Vincent? Eric Carr? where are Ace Frehley and Peter Criss? Of course this was all in order to promote their new album and single Lick It Up:

Eric Carr would later get a tumor on his heart and die the same day as Freddy Mercury, so there you go, KISS didn't do so great without the makeup and outfits and stuff, which actually leads to the 90s, as they did make a big comeback with the original lineup and makeup and everything, and along with a little help from Tupac Shakur at the 1996 Grammys, they got big again:

Love the fact that 2Pac says that KISS are his homeboys and that Hootie and the Blowfish are his other homeboys, really 2Pac? really? 2Pac would later that year get shot and die after Mike Tyson knocked out Bruce Seldon, so there you go. But actually we are getting way ahead of ourselves here, we need to take it back 6 years to 1990:

1990 was a interesting year for many reasons, but the most interesting thing about 1990 is that in terms of music, the 80s weren't really over yet, but the music that would ultimately define the 90s wasn't yet popular, so it was this interesting transition period. You had your 80s people hanging on like these guys:

or these guys:

or even him:

But then you sorta has the underground rumblings of some of the bands that would take over in the years to come, like these guys:

Or how about these guys, well really this guy, but whatever:

But really, 1990 was pretty much dominated by a few people that were pretty much big in 1990 and that was it, they weren't quite 80s, but not really 90s, and people didn't really know what was going on, so these guys came along and got big, but then people got sick of them pretty much. Like this guy:

Then you can't really mention that guy without bringing up his white counterpart:

But one could argue that both of them while they had big hits and burst on the scene in 1990, may have been battling for 2nd place behind this women:

I will however point out that because of those 3 songs it was also a big year for Rick James, Queen and Prince as those song were respectively the basis of songs they made. In MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice's cases they used samples from Rick James and Queen without permission, and ended up being sued and having to pay a lot, In Sinead's case she legitly got the song from Prince, who originally wrote if for some group called The Family, and she just did a remake. Nothing compares to you would also win the award for Video of the year at the 1990 MTV VMAs.

Well, there you go, that pretty much sums up 1990 in music, sure there were probably a bunch of other big hits and stuff, but that'll do it for now, but if you were a young kid in 1990 like I was, mainly boys, you know that it was a big year, cause the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, came alive and were on the big screen:

Cowabunga! Some of Corey Feldman's best work.
