THE KCV1 QUOTE OF THE DAY

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real 'gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart' pain. I hate love.”~Neil Gaiman

THE KCV1 FIRST LOOK...YOUR SHAPE

I still don't know how I feel about my video games being my go-to guide for fitness, but one theme that seems to be dominating E3 thus far is revolutionized gaming without use of a controller. Peep the trailer of the latest game that Nintendo is hoping you fat...out of shape...Kansas City sweathogs use in order to shed a few pounds.

THE KCV1 QUOTE OF THE DAY

“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions”~ Rainer Maria Rilke

THE KCV1 FIRST LOOK...THE MICROSOFT PROJECT NATAL

Like I said, E3 is officially starts tomorrow, but today videogame companies are doing what can be considered their State of the Union address for the press. And what Microsoft presented has to be the biggest news today. Introducing the future of gaming...

THE KCV1 SPOTLIGHT: I'M SAYIN' RADIO

Print journalism is a dying art form. There...I said it. Times have changed since "back in the day" when all you needed to get your information was by dropping five bucks on your favorite publication. Yes, just like how video killed the radio star, the web has killed the journalist scribe. So, adapting to the times and finding other ways to have our words heard isn't only encouraged, it's damned necessary. Take veteran journalists Chloé A. Hilliard (formerly of The Village Voice) and Hillary Crosely (formerly of Billboard Magazine) for example. These two opinionated and funny personalities decided to collaborate basically because they're beyond tired of the magazine game. Thus, how I'm Sayin' Radio was born. But I won't speak for Chlo and Hills, they'll just over talk me any damn way. I'll leave it up to them to explain why they're dabbling in the radio game...



Hilarity! You can check out I'm Sayin' Radio every Sunday night at 10:30pm on www.blogtalkradio.com/im-sayin-radio. Listen up to last night's show as Chloè and Hills chopped it up with co-founder of AllHipHop.com, Chuck Creekmur, and the newly appointed COO and EIC of Russell Simmons' Global Grind, Datwon Thomas, below...





How insightful. And now these "fly ladies" (should I break out my Cross Colours jeans? What is this 1992? Who uses the word fly anymore?) are bringing their views and brand of entertainment to your computer screen, and soon your TV screen, too. Check the randomness these two ranted about the other day. And a big SMH goes to the term "Negroidian"...

DJ HERO GAMEPLAY VIDEO & TRAILER REVEALED

E3 kicks off in Los Angeles tomorrow and I will be giving you the highlights from the Convention Center all week. But to continue with my DJ Hero fixation, check out the video of what you'll be experiencing when the game drops later this year.

THE NEW HOTNESS (MODEL CITIZEN EDITION): CANDICE JAI

STATS:
Age: "Damned grown [laughs]."
Nationality: African-American
Representing: Detroit, MI
Height: 5'0"
Measurements: 36C-25-43
Website: CandiceJai.com, SweetGloss.com

My memory slips from time to time, but one moment that will forever burn in my consciousness will be when I met the artist formerly known as Candice Jai. Basically the Detroit brickhouse competed in a modeling contest that myself, Melyssa Ford and a Hot 97 DJ judged. Nobody was really wowing us until this short, dark-skinned beauty sashayed her way on stage with nothing more than a skinny slingshot practically painted on her body (barely but successfully holding everything in place). After Ms. Jai walked on everything, other than the fact that she won the contest, went blank in my mind...damn, there goes my memory again! But after kicking it with her a few times after that magical day, I've learned three things about my Twin (my nickname for her for reasons you can only guess 'cause I'm not telling): One, she's the most down-to-earth model I know, who is as beautiful inside as outside (yeah, shoot me for the cheesiness why don't you?). Two, her talent shines outside of taking pictures because Candice throws down on the make-up game. Stepping inside the booth and changing into her given name, Candice Johnson, she has "beat down the faces" of Alicia Keys, Melyssa Ford and others (the woman stresses me to plug her makeup site, SweetGloss.com). And three, Ms. Jai has the best body I've seen...EVER! My boy Anslem at NWSO refers to her as Excitebike (yeah, remember that game?) because those curves Candice works diligently on are deliberately built to her liking. Makes me sad to see how lazy some of these chicks are nowadays considering ass implants are the way of the future. Give me a woman who runs five laps around the local public track everyday! You can set a cup on any body part you like when you have a body like CJ's (a perk that I have experimented with on a few occasions).

Here's a back and forth we blabbed about the other day...

Hey, the gloves come off when you say, “I’ll tell you anything.”
For that special one, it’s whatever he wants and needs—as long as he’s satisfied. You want details?
Like Chris Brown wants his career back...
Shit, let the guys figure that one out [laughs].
Dicktease!
Why is being teased so bad?
‘Cause blue balls is a bitch.
[Laughs] If your game is tight, you won’t have that problem. I don’t know any man that wants anything that’s easy. You always enjoy the hunt and the pursuit of it.
True, if the right opportunity comes along…
You’re talking all that mess. How’s this for opportunity? You had a lot of opportunities to smack my ass at that shoot I did a while back.
I’m sorry, what?
The makeup artist smacked my ass, the hairdresser smacked my ass, and the photographer smacked my ass. Everybody smacked my ass on that set. They asked first, of course. You didn’t.
Uh…
Exactly, closed mouths don’t get fed [laughs]. You catch more bees with honey than with vinegar—just ask and be polite. You never know what you can get.
Ok then, since you’re so open, let’s politely get in touch with our feelings.
Now you’re being greedy. Feeling up on all these body parts means we’ll be officially dating.
Dicktease!

Peep the video from said photoshoot below. Shit, if I had a DeLorean...

Ahhhhh, the memories...Check more pics of this chocolate goddess below...
