Coveting

2009-06-24T16:07:00.000-07:00

Coveting is a wet child angry to dry off. The same child who, 7 minutes earlier, was exhausted from panting to its mother to go frolic in the neighbor’s sprinkler. “We don’t have a towel“ she says, but that doesn’t put the cheese on the needy cracker. An adult coveting is not unlike the angry, sopping wet and annoying child. Sure, our needed and unavailable towel is evident, but the compulsive desire is still present. If I were to say, “Wow! Look at Tim’s bright shiny new thing!” Would I be unlike the desperate soaked lass? The truth is, that question cannot be answered, because I would never say such a ridiculous thing. Bright shiny new thing? Is there even a market for those anymore? I imagine, in some boarded up shack in the countryside of a Midwestern state, someone is desperately searching for the bright shiny new thing. I should send them a 60 watt light bulb. But would they get the point? Would you?

All Kinds of Wrongness: Shaq freestyling and dissing Kobe

Boston: The Best Sports City in the World!

2008-06-18T07:19:00.000-07:00

Well, the title may be a bit misleading. But look at it this way. Within the last year, in 3 of the 4 major sports (Baseball, Basketball, Football & Hockey) Boston had either a championship win, or in the case of the (until then) undefeated New England Patriots, a championship appearance.

It started off with the Red Sox crushing the underdog hopefuls Colorado Rockies. The Patriots almost had their envious "perfect" season, but fell short (to the Giants of all teams! wtf!) Then last night, with a 39 point win, the Celtics put the nail on Kobe's coffin and sent him down river. 39 points!

Seems like the Bruins need to step it up next year. Expectation seems to be sky high in Massachusetts these days.

Congrats Celtics! Thanks for shutting Kobe up!

M.I.A. Follows The Dub and Quits While On Top of Her Game

2008-06-17T07:41:00.001-07:00

On June 13, 2008 critically acclaimed Cult British/Sri Lankan star M.I.A. announced at the Tennessee love festival, Bonnaroo that she was then performing her last show. At the tender age of 30, this international phenomenon of worldly talents has given up singing to pursue 2 of her other innate talents: Art and her own clothing line.

I for one am a bit pleased that Mrs. M.I.A. (real name Mathangi Arulpragasam) is closing the book on her singing career. Both of her albums, 2005's Arular and 2007's Kala are damn near perfect in every sense of the word. With her departure at such a young age and on such a monumental pedestal, over time those 2 albums will become the stepping stones for other generations of musicians to follow and emulate.

Best of luck M.I.A. Say hi to Master Dub for us.

So Long

2008-06-10T19:46:00.001-07:00

This extended hiatus appears indefinite. For me at least. A morass of guilt has bludgeoned me cold and lonely. I'm in need of detour. Or maybe a wayside.

Lately my attitude has cheapened progress and perpetuated animosity at the top. I feel like that stubborn block in jenga you deliberately wedge free as perspiration builds. Our tower was created with collective precision. And I don't want it toppled by blunt refrain. Ain't ready to rebuild, but I'm ready for change.

Best to my Crew, especially Dot. This collaborative is nothing without his heart. As black as it may seem sometime. Dude cares more than he cares to admit.

To fortune, focus, and the furtherment of Yeah. Cheers...I'm out.

Yeah, I Figured That Much Loses A Son

Time breeds change. And change moves mountains. It is with deep remorse to publicly announce the unexpected departure of one of yeahifigured.com’s founding fathers, GDub.

As of June 10, 2008 fan favorite GDub has successfully broken all ties with Yeah, I Figured That Much and is off to produce his own solo projects that can be found at www.theshitbetween.blogspot.com. As co-founder of yeahifigured.com, my blessings for a better and well-rounded psyche go out to GDub, and I wish him both happiness and strength.

We were graced with GDub’s presence for 527 days, or 1 year, 5 months and 10 days. Best of luck GDub. May all your desires and aspirations come into fruition.

Growing Pains

2008-06-12T21:28:00.000-07:00

The recent days have been filled with many-a-busy duty. Unfortunately, none have involved yeahifigured.com. As all of us here attempt to better, and further understand our personal lives, our exercises here at Yeah, I Figured That Much have not gotten their due attention.

As we continue to riffle through our own personal demons while dealing with our guilt ridden social shyness, we offer our back catalogue of delightful and cheeky periodicals of brief amusement.

Please bare with us as our IT department fixes our lengthy list of problems and check back soon.

Sincerely,

JDot

Arrested Development THE MOVIE

Rumors, rumors, rumors. Click here for recorded talks about an Arrested Development movie. It seems as though all the cast members who were contacted are excited about the possibility, and Universal has yet to say no.

Keep your finders crossed indeed.

Some of the funniest shit I'VE EVER HEARD!

A coworker sent me this link about a girl breaking up with a boy in a letter. It's read in a mock dramatic acting style that would make Jon Lovitz proud.

Audio is required. (I can't stop listening to this!!)

Quota Fulfilled

2008-05-28T23:31:00.001-07:00

This site may very soon turn into my very own personal locker of self reflecting and opinionated view of negativity. With so much pleasure and wealth of joy this world endlessly produces, a home for pale faced grief seems, at least to me, welcome and directly warranted.

My advice, if that is indeed what it may translate into being, would be this: Focus and mentally document your vile and disgusting scowls of social disgust within the act of keeping it to yourself. Put on that expected happy face and continue to make others comfortable while you yourself walk the familiar path of distaste and hopeless excitement.

No Brakes? No Problem!

Jerry Seinfeld (my other, other father) apparently likes to roll cars. Last night Fusilli Jerry crashed the fuck out of his 1967 Fiat BTM. Word on the street is that he was eluding crazed fans Master Dub and TV’s JDot.

The funny man was unhurt (thank God) and didn’t require medical attention.

So Jingles Jerry flips a car, then gets out and is like, “Nah, I’m good.” THIS MAN IS IMMORTAL! (At least in the eyes of his beloved fans, 2 of whom run this shit hole.)

Obeying the lives outside of the ravaging pulse of social cleansing that's dubbed as Yeah, I Figured That Much has caused all who are involved to abandon our respected posts. It is our overwhelming position of sorrow and heartfelt regret that such a week long hiatus has found its inevitable placement upon this site.

We're sorry...we've been busy.

One of us is dying, one of our mothers are visiting from out of state, one of us has "the kids" this weekend, one of use has been busy at work, one of us is away on vacation, and one of us is getting married. But be-that-as-it-may, our collective neglect stands both unwarranted and ill-advised.

Please accept our deepest of apologies as we finish our collective time consuming personal duties known as "life" and review our options for a brighter and better Yeah, I Figured That Much tomorrow.

May God bless you all in this time of sorrow, and may your decisions be granted with thoughtful investigation and option considering knowledge.

Yeah, I Figured That Much Announces Summer Tour!

2008-05-16T12:05:00.001-07:00

The ingenious minds behind the uber classic website http://www.yeahifigured.com/ have just announced a 24 date summer tour. Kicking off the tour on June 6^th in Chatsworth, CA the now 7 member team will present their varied talents all across the continental

United States

(with 1 exclusive stop in Mexico).

The set list for the tour consists of classic rock guitarist Frybyrd, blues rock artist Hennessy, spoken word poetry by Grease, visual graphics and custom t-shirt sales by Kreative, illegal drug sales by Bucho, and endless hours of on stage arguments by GDub and JDot.

Comparable to such summer blockbuster music attractions as The Warped Tour and Coachella, the Yeah, I Figured That Much crew will set up booths providing merchandise from CD’s and LP’s to hand made screen printed shirts and posters.

Graphic Designer and new YIFTM recruit Kreative designed the eye-popping-attention-grabbing poster which will be sold exclusively on the tour and will have a very limited print of only 10 hand numbered copies.

The 24 date event of social challenge and refrain will set up camp in towns all across the country. The following dates have already been scheduled:

6/6/8 Willowbrae House of Hell - Chatsworth, CA

6/8/8 House of Blues - Hollywood, CA

6/9/8 House of Blues - San Diego, CA

6/14/8 Caesar’s Palace - Las Vegas, NV

6/17/8 Miller Park Parking Lot - Milwaukee, WI

6/18/8 Rudi Circle Cul-de-sac - Madison, WI

6/20/8 Okray Park - Plover, WI

6/27/8 The Bucho Mansion – Santa Cecilia, Mexico

The ic You Can't Scratch (from the lineup)

RUDI - The consensus seems to be the NBA Playoffs are once again exciting with the infusion of some young, new talent and rejuvenated superstars. Most of the Western Conference games are past my bed time, so I'm stuck with sloppy 74-69 contests like last night's Cavs-Celts mess. Anyway, the hope of a team reaching 100 points in a game I can actually watch keeps me interested for now - at least until the inevitable Spurs-Pistons Finals.

Another storyline that has grabbed my attention is all of the solid "ics" (pronounced ˈich) still playing in the second season. As a fellow "ic" (although pronounced ick - like what comes out of people's mouths when they see my grease stains) I am proud to see so many of these players having an impact on their teams. We share the last two letters of our surnames and also an affinity for lazy defense, chucking 3-point bombs and lack of personal hygiene. Let's take a look at the All-"ic"-Team.

Not a bad team. We need someone on the defensive glass though...and a point guard. Since this is a playoffs post it looks like I will have to suit up for the Celtics (love the green and black!). OK, I will play point - we'll move Rondo to the two guard and Ray to the nursing home.

Yeah, I Figured That Much Just got KREATIVE

2008-05-15T14:34:00.000-07:00

Through several late night pitching sessions with acclaimed award winning freelance Graphic Designer LK, the legal team at Yeah, I Figured That Much has secured a 2 year deal for the exclusive services of the die hard designer LK.

We here at Yeah, I Figured That Much are excited to continue working with LK, and feel the timing couldn’t have been better. As all of you know, LK designed the exclusive JDot Recordings logo and LP cover for Yeah, I Figured That Much’s first 12” vinyl series. His professional demeanor and intricate attention to detail will provide Yeah, I Figured That Much with just the right amount of goal oriented determination currently lacking on www.yeahifigured.com.

Support our troops; don't play golf

President Bush in an interview with Yahoo! News and Politico:

"I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal."

But wait, there's more...

"I don't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander-in-chief playing golf. I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them."

Bush's hole in one here.

Working with subject fruit and vegetables, Mr. Parker attitudinizes his creations, but pays little mind to freshness. As the food tastes like shit.

Star The Clone Wars Wars

2008-05-09T11:28:00.001-07:00

The Star Wars legacy continues with this summer’s theatrical release of The Clone Wars. As a previous Star Wars nut I can say I’m mildly excited. The prequels however, (sigh). I still can’t watch Episode II and while I saw Episode I in the theater 6 times, I’ve only seen Episode III once. I kind of wish he never made those.

Finally, some good news
