miss teen disco 1988 feat. Kelly Hu (a mixtape by ham salad)

Some people don't care too much for beauty pageants. They think it's superficial and shallow. "These competitions don't judge the girls for their inner beauty and their personalities." Well, that just sounds like the ramblings of wet blanket, or a party pooper. I wouldn't call myself a fan, but I will say that I do enjoy the novelty of it all. It's almost like the Olympics for hot women, and if there's one thing in this world I absolutely love, it's the Olympics. This mixtape is a hybrid of new and old, here and there. There's quite a bit of 80s Euro Pop, as well as old school classics from New Edition and Janet Jackson. Remixes galore as well as a tasteful ending, courtesy of the Miss Philippines 2010 fan club.

PS I would have come out with something for the holidays, but with the new fightstick and all the new games, I really haven't been able to sit down and create. Not to mention, Whitney Cup 2k12 is steadily approaching and I have to hone my Tekken skills. New literary works coming soon (perhaps a quick screen play?) as well as a possible video promo for Whitney Cup. Collaboration still in the works, so hold tight.

Vegetarian Eats Pork

1996 June 15 – When one thinks of a vegetarian, they think, “What dedication! To not eat meat is quite the feat.” Others may have a more disapproving reaction, spurning their fellow human. Whether the reaction is admiration or disapproval, one vegetarian has decided to call it quits from the strict diet of fruits, vegetables, legumes and the like.

Stanley Chavira, vegetarian of over a decade, broke his lifestyle choice by eating pork at Dick Church’s Family Restaurant, an eatery in Costa Mesa, California. Other patrons of the restaurant watched in awe as the 23-year-old ordered a pulled pork sandwich. “It was as if time stopped,” said Robin Flats, a waitress at Dick Church’s. “I listened to the words come out of his mouth, and I couldn’t believe what I heard.”

After the order was placed, Chavira patiently waited for his sandwich. Snacking on bread and sipping on ice water, he sat in the booth with a calmed cool. Witnesses claim there was a wave of tension, so intense that all they could do was fix their attention on the man and his meal.

And then it came.

Some found the act of meat eating to be inspiring, using Stanley as a beacon of inspiration. “I think we all held our breaths when the waitress brought out his food,” commented Danny Thump, a fellow patron. “He’s an inspirational man. I’ve always been against riding in two seater convertables. Thanks to Stan, I’m brave enough now to give it a shot.”

It was said that Chavira took a modest bite and shrugged with nonchalance. When asked how his first taste of meat in over ten years was, he replied, “It was okay. Maybe I’ll do it again. But next time, I won’t let so many people know about it.” The pulled pork sandwich, which Chavira did not finish, nor take home, came with a side of French fries and a fruit cup. 

less polka, larry david. (a mixtape by ham salad)

Sometimes I wonder, "what would HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm be like if there wasn't any Polka music?" As fitting as it may be, perhaps Mr. David wouldn't be such an awkward, neurotic mess if he just listened to a bit of disco every now and then. In this mixtape, you will find a blend of old and new, from Madonna to Teenage Bad Girl, Hall and Oates to StardonE. Along with a happening playlist are the comedy stylings of Michael J. Fox, JB Smoove, and of course, the big "LD."

super bayside back II: the new challengers (a mixtape by ham salad)

Did you enjoy the first mixtape, Back II Bayside? The poorly executed, but well meaning mix with a heart of gold? Well, the wait is over! Re-balanced gameplay! New roster of characters! Now you and a friend can pick the same character in versus mode!! Experience Back II Bayside like you never have before with the latest mixtape, Super Bayside Back II: The New Challengers. I've always wanted to revisit the Back II Bayside playlist once my mixing skills improved. A couple of my favorite songs were wasted on the first one and I wanted to do them justice. I'm very excited about this one and I truly hope you enjoy it.

booty bass confusion (a cinquain about INOJ)

INOJ,

You proclaimed love.

But there was something odd.

All your songs bumped the booty bass.

Confused.

a haiku about Siamese cats.

I do not blame you.

Lady was asking for it.

Oh cats, I do please!
