ListenToLeon — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 08:58:48 +0000

Saturday night, I went to a post-Halloween costume party, and since I didn’t feel like rocking the Jimi Hendrix costume once again, I decided to use my Black McGuyver resoursefulness and come up with a costume on the fly. The result: John BLACKenroe, Tennis Superstar! I found a racket in the closet along with a [...]

Google Made Me Smile Today

Google’s tribute to the 40th Anniversary of Sesame Street featuring Bert and Ernie made me smile. Who says giant companies bordering on monopolies have to be cold and heartless? Anyone with an appreciation for Ernie is alright with me! Bert was a bit of a cone headed player hater, but Ernie was full of orange-faced [...]

ListenToLeon — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 18:22:44 +0000

A few days ago, I read an article that reconfirmed what I already knew to be true: Soft drinks are bad for me. “Soda”, “pop”, or whatever it’s called where you’re from, is literally going to be the death of me if I don’t get my act together! I like having teeth in my mouth [...]

I know I’m a few days late with this one, but I have to share it, since it’s been in heavy rotation on my laptop and iPod for the past couple of days. Zo!, one-half of the collaborating team behind the Zo! and Tiggalo Love the 80’s album(and jheri-curled album art) is back with a [...]

Ever see a pair of shoes in the closet that you haven’t worn in a long time, and asked yourself “why don’t I wear these more often?” This happened to me yesterday. Since they looked perfectly normal, I put them on, and left for work. About halfway into my trip, I remembered EXACTLY why I [...]

Who Dresses Like A Nazi for Halloween?!

ListenToLeon — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 15:15:06 +0000

This morning, I heard that the ex-girlfriend of someone I consider a friend was walking around DC dressed as a Nazi on Thursday night. This is a person who has been in my house, drank my liquor and made small talk with me on a number of occasions, so I’m feeling some kind of way [...]

In the spirit of Halloween, here are 5 memories of horror films that scared the sh*t out of me at some point in my life. These movies themselves don’t really strike fear in my heart in 2009, but each of them is responsible for a moment that the macho, manly part of me is slightly [...]

The Foreign Exchange DC Show Pt. 2: The Videos

ListenToLeon — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 05:10:15 +0000

I now present video from The Foreign Exchange show at the Black Cat on Sunday. Forgive my Foster’s-fueled trash-talk and rhyming along to Nic’s Groove at the beginning of this clip. My antics were referencing the episode of What’s Happening where ReRun was bootlegging The Doobie Brothers’ concert. That memory of ReRun dropping the tape [...]
