I love it when you call me big pop-pa
Throw your hands in the air, if youse a true player
I love it when you call me big pop-pa
To the honies gettin money playin niggaz like dummies
I love it when you call me big pop-pa
If you got a gun up in your waist please don't shoot up the place
Cause I see some ladies tonight who should be havin my baby
Bay-bee


Does anyone have this song? It's called "Big Poppa" by Notorious B.I.G, whoever he is. Not really into rap, but as I was watching Hardball yesterday, starring Keanu Reeves, I realised they had some pretty groovy rap. It was a good movie man. And whoever said Keanu Reeves' acting is wooden should watch Hardball. He was awesome in there. I cried like crap when G-Baby died, and cried even more when Keanu Reeves gave his eulogy:

"Gerius was a player on the Kekemas baseball team I coach. Honestly he, he was too young to play. But he wanted to be a part of the team so badly, I couldn't say no. He had a great smile too though I'm not telling you anything you don't know. He was a really tough guy. Just a boy really who wanted to be around his older brother. The other day we played a really important game against a good team. And two outs in the last inning, I had no choice but to let Gerius bat. He was fearless as he stepped to the plate. I was terrified for him.

With two strikes and our hopes dwindling, he hit a shot down the first base line. He won the game.

And watching him raise his arms in triumph as he ran to first base, I swear I was lifted in that moment to a better place. I swear he lifted the world in that moment. He made me a better person, even if just for that moment. I am forever grateful to Gerius for that."

Awesome, isn't it? Especially the last part. It might not impact you much now, but you have to know how G-Baby (Gerius) looks like, so tiny and cute, a precocious little kid, and you have to see the way Keanu Reeves spoke, the way his eyes glimmered with tears, the way his voice resonated and shook simultaneously.

Anyway, went to study today with Mark, Zhiying and Jamie. I managed to finish Lear, waaahooo! But I had a headache at the end of it. Shakespeare must've been a real cynical man. I don't like how Edmund suddenly found some saving grace at the end, it was a bit ludicrous. But it's alright overall lah. I prefer Measure for Measure, Angelo is more psychotic.

Waiting for the match between Brazil and Australia to start. Think I'll go and continue with Econs before it starts. Annyong!

Yeah, we could.
