Dreaming About Screens

What is up kids? How’s it going? I’m doing great yo! I am currently doing laundry (fun fact!)  but will soon be done. When I moved into my house last year I needed to pick a day for laundry and what better day than Monday. Mondays usually suck anyway right? So that’s one more fascinating story I have shared with you kids. The laundry origin story. (or the L.O.S. for short) O.K. enough laundry nonsense. There is a new product that I want. (Surprise!) It is the HP dream screen. It is available in 10″ and 13″ models. What it is is a digital photo frame plus a lot more. It has built in wireless internet and not only displays you’re photos in high-def, but it also shows you weather, facebook updates, news, streams internet radio, has a built in alarm clock, and plays back you’re mp3’s and digital videos. It is pretty legit. I want it so badly! It would make my house all futuristic-like! It would be so awesome to wake up in the morning to my favorite song and be able to see current weather and all my facebook updates, all without getting out of bed and on a brilliant 13″ screen. Of course this thing comes with a pretty steep price tag the 10 incher is $250 and the 13″ is $300. A little out of my price range but if the price drops I will be all over this yo. Awwwww electronics…. I love them so. Let’s see what else is up with me, oh I have been enjoying the snot out of my PS3 slim. It is so choice. I can’t tell you how great it is to be able to enjoy a blu-ray movie while laying in bed. I love my life of luxury! I have also recently ordered a plethora of blu-rays from Hastings website. While their in-store prices are not so great their online prices on used blu-rays are sweetness! I got some amazing deals yo. (gohastings.com You’re Blu-Ray Headquarters!) Well that’s gonna do it for me kids. I gotta go put in another load of laundry. I’ll catch you kids later.

The HP dreamscreen. Ask for it by name!

I want it!

Slim is in part 2

The remote fits snugly in the back. How convenient!

Mmm…..Whatcha Say

What is up kids? It is I, B-Mac back from my half month hiatus. It has indeed been awhile yo. First off thanks to everybody for they’re prayers. Preciate it. I am doing pretty decent now. In other words I am awesome again! (was there ever any doubt that I would be?) Sooooo….. Last time I rambled was right after the scavenger hunt. A decent amount of stuff has happened since then. On labor day I found out I was terrible at paintball. But I had a blast hanging out with my friends. I am still playing Batman AA on PS3. It is mad awesome! I also am fixing to start the Office season 5 on blu-ray. The Office is a very legit show. I was exteremely disappointed when at Apple’s press conference the other day thay revealed that the 3rd gen iPod touches would not be getting a camera after all. I was really looking forward to upgrading my 1st gen touch but instead I will have to wait a while longer. Sigh….. I did however find a use for the coinage I had saved up for the iPod. I am now the proud owner of a PS3 slim. It’s just adorable! Now I can enjoy my videogames and blu-rays from the comfort of my bedroom! < For those times when you just can’t bring yourself to walk to the den, B-Mac recommends a PS3 for the bedroom! > That would be an awesome advertisement wouldn’t it? I should get payed for all of my product placement. It really has become part of my life. I love writing stuff like In Stores Now!, Ask for it by Name!, and TM. Maybe I should have gotten a job in marketing? Well kids that’s gonna do it for me tonight. I gotta go to church. But I promise I’ll be back soon yo. Enjoy the picks of the new slim. peace

Sweetness beatBOXing

What you get with a new slim

Isn’t it adorable?

Thin is in!

No B-Mac. No ibmacin. Just Brandon

Hey kids. This post is gonna be a little bit different than usual. No talking about recent events. No talking about how awesome I am. No talking about electronics. Right now I just need to get some stuff out. For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been having kind of a rough time. Before I go further, no I’m not gonna kill myself or quit the church. Nothing like that. Thankfully my problems are not that big. I also realize that many people have way worse problems than me. I am extremely lucky to have a family that loves me, a great church, and lots of friends. But even though my problems may be small they are still problems you know. Without going into great detail recently I’ve been having some trouble deciding some stuff. I am only writing this because I want to ask something of the people who read this. Could ya’ll please just keep me in you’re prayers that I could figure some stuff out and get back to a more normal life again. I do know that prayers really work because I have seen it so many times in my life already. That’s all that I am asking so please just remember me when you pray and I’m sure that God will take care of the rest.

I Got That Boom Boom Pow

What up kids? Sorry about the rediculous time period between the last post and this one. Some of you were probably wondering if I had died it’s been so long. But I am most definitely alive and awesome yo! So much stuff to talk about this time so sit back kids and get ready for some more awesomeness from B-Mac. First up the talent show from a couple of weekends back. It was pretty rad. It was nice to see that me and Dizzy’s idea of just going up there and talking mad nonsense like we do all the time when we’re alone really captured the hearts of nearly everybody there. Our live show of “Fun with B-Mac and Dizzy….. It’s Fun” was definitely a success. The Highlight of the Show (TM.)  for me was when we were tossing out Stauffers animal crackers (product placement!) to the crowd I tossed a bag deep to the side right into Summer’s arms. It was epic! That’s what really won the crowd over right there. They were like “What are these two idiots doing up there! This Sucks! I demand a refund!, to Oh look, a baby just caught a snack.” (Cheers) Summer’s catching skills are pretty legit. (4 out of 5 baseball gloves) Anyway we had an awesome time and it was cool just going up there and being myself. Next item, the scavenger hunt. This too was a lot of fun. A bunch of us went down to the Fort Worth Zoo and went on this scavenger hunt. Although we came in like 4th, (curse you Chasity’s team!) we still had a blast. Theres nothing like a group of four kids running through a zoo snapping picture while other visitors stare in disbelief. I do wish I would have won the trophy given to all members of the team in first. I totally have never won a trophy. I want one! OK what else have I been up to? I’ve had two lessons already this month (whine whine, complain complain) I was so nervous during my Port Arthur one and I did horrible! However my lesson on Wed. night was the first time I haven’t really been nervous ever. (Yay home crowd!) I was glad that I got to redeem my self after the atrocity in Port Arthur. Oh I recently found my 1st iPod and updated it so I can use it around the house. This is not you’re standard iPod kids. We’re talking old school white colored 20 gig black and white screen with a 1 hour battery life. You kids today and you’re iPod touches! I remember that besides Jeff who got his about a month before mine I was the first person I knew with a iPod. This was a long time ago kids. People didn’t even know what they were. I payed $299 it. They were mad pricey but ever since I had seen one on an episode of The O.C. I just had to have it. It’s funny because nowadays everybody and their granny have got iPods. I will definitely post some pics of the iPod at the end of the post. OK what else? Oh I purchased and have been playing Batman Arkum Asylum for PS3. It is pretty legit. They’re saying it’s the best Batman game ever, even better than NES Batman. I’m having a lot of fun with it. Well that’s probably enough for now. You kids take it easy ok?

Old School For The Win!

It’s gonna be great in the kitchen yo

To the left To the left…

Hey kids! How’s it goin yo? I’m back in Waco trick! Man it’s good to be home! I missed my house soo much this weekend. But I did have an awesome time in Port Arthur though. Wer got into mad shenanigans! (kidding) It was a blast though. We had so many people from Waco there. It was pretty insane. Let’s just run down the highlights shall we? Being with Alyse and her family, hanging out with Courtlin/Ashley, Guitar Hero Metallica, The insanely fancy restaraunt on Sunday, winning at football and washers, the incredible nice-ness of everybody down there, singing You Are My All In All (TM.) at the restaraunt, (I give that song 5 out of 5 songbooks!) having a cheese pizza w/no sauce waiting on me when we arrived up there, and finally riding home with friends. It was mad epic. We had a bit of a hiccup on the way home though. One of my friends trucks had some trouble so we had to all pile into my sisters tahoe on the way back. It was decently crowded. I have enclosed a picture at the end of the blog for you’re viewing pleasure. I’m just glad me and Dizzy had the dvd player yo. It was also really nice getting away from the paparazzi for a little bit while we were down there. I almost forgot what it felt like to be just a regular dude. It was pretty rad. I totally didn’t have the internet while I was away yo. It felt pretty weird and I’m glad to be back in my Wi-Fi blanketed home. Ah… the life of luxury. It is most definitely for me. Catch you kids later.  Oh and I’m thinking about keeping up this whole awesome song for my blog post title thingy. There are just so many great songs yo. peace

Mad Cramped!

Y.P.M. For The Win!

Hey there kids! How’s it going? I’m doing great as usual. Just getting pumped up about the meeting coming up this weekend in Port Arthur. (Represent the P.A.!) I’m going up there with Shawna and Aaron on Saturday morning. It’s gonna be pretty sweetness! I still have much to do though. 1st of all I’ve got to get up my lesson for Saturday still. I work better under pressure yo! I’m gonna try and get it done tonight though. I also must pack some clothes and decide which electronics to bring. It’s so hard to leave any of them behind but with the amount I have it’s a must. I’m definitely bringing the netbook, iPod touch, dvd player, DSi, PSP,  my noise-canceling and my bluetooth  headphones, and my Where’s Waldo? travel book. Not bad huh? And all of it fit’s nicely in my new Timbuk2 bag. I am just too cool for school yo! Anyway, I’m supposed to be staying with Spencer so we definitely should have a blast. Right now I just gotta get through today and Friday and then we can get this thing started! Huzzah! Stay outta mischief kids. peace

I Wanna Talk About ME-EE-EE!

What is up you kids?? I know it’s been like 5 years since my last post and I apologize for that. There is totally no excuse for this. Even though things have been mad busy lately I still should have found the time to post something. It has been quite the last couple of weeks kids. Many things have happened and I don’t even know where to begin. But I do owe it to the fans to talk about it. 1st off I’m sure that the entire brotherhood has become aware of my no longer single status. (thousands of young single ladies just bursted out into tears. I’m kidding yo!) Now I’m sure that you kids would just love to know all the details but just like my previous relationships B-Mac draws the line at that kind’ve stuff. Therefore I will offer the following statement and we will be done with this matter. [ We here at the ibmacin institute(TM.) appreciate all of the well wishers and haters (Bring It!) alike. We firmly believe everybody has a right to their own opinion. However, Mr. B-Mac (C.E.O. and founder of the ibmacin institute or the I.I. for short) hopes that everyone will respect his privacy and not bombard him with questions/dirty looks. Mr. B-Mac appreciates all of the support that the vast majority of his fan base has shown and want to assure them that he will continue to be awesome until the day he dies. (We are looking at ways to extend his awesome-ness after his death. Stay tuned!) Mr. B-mac is as happy as he has been in a long time and we hope that you will continue to love/support him in this new level of his life. ] O.K. glad we are done with that. Let’s see what else has been happening? We had an awesome meeting last weekend with brother Jeff Foreman. Mad thanks to all of the visitors that came and made the meeting super rad. My friend Spencer stayed with me all weekend and we had an awesome time as usual. We played a bunch of classic games and were generally just awesome. We went shopping and I got an awesome Marvel shirt at Hot Topic. That store is mad weird but they have got so many awesome shirts for dorks there. I got Alyse an awesome Sonic the Hedgehog shirt as well. We didn’t find the item we really wanted though, a Sega CD. One day, I’m gonna find one of those things. We also played a ton of Guitar Hero/Rock Band. I guess if I had to sum up the entire weekend in one word it would be Awesome. (or Plasmic!) Alright kids, I’ve ranted long enough. Missed you guys. Stay outta mischief yo. Oh yeah about that title. You know I’ve been listining to that awful Toby Keith song. What can I say?

I’m Going Green! (Also Black)

Hey kids? How you be? I’m doing great cause it’s the weekend yo! Anyway longtime fans of the blog will probably remember a post I did back in the day called B-Mac’s Crib. (http://ibmacin.wordpress.com/2009/03/11/b-macs-crib/ for all you noobs) In it, I finally showed the world what kind of house a celebrity blogging sensation like myself lives in. You may also remember that the last picture I posted was of the unfinished spare room. I didn’t really want to show it in the state it was in but I didn’t want to put up with the puplic outcry if I failed to include it. So I teased a coming soon caption underneath the pic. Anyway, I finally have the room how I want it. It’s different then I had planned but it’s still pretty sweetness. It just received the B-Mac Seal Of Approval (TM.) today. So I figured I would share some pics with my loving fans. I’ll start off with the old pic and we’ll move on to the good stuff after that. You kids enjoy you’re weekend.

Clicky-Openers For The Win!

Hey kids. How’s it going? Been a little while but you know how it is. I’m still a celebrity so my time is valuable. Anyway, I’m here now so you can all rejoice. Hope all you kids had a good fourth of July yo. I definitely did. I slept in, hung out at the house, and then went to the Speegleville fireworks show with my friends. We were mad close to the fireworks, so close that we were getting hit with massive amounts of debris from them. It was intense! I finally had to duck back to protect my beautiful face. It was a lot of fun though. Let’s see what else has been going on? I’ve been fixing up my den, making it look even more awesome. I also got a new garage door opener last week. The old one finally gave up on me. Now I feel like I’m rich cause I have the clicky-openers so I can raise and lower the door from my car . It is awesome! No more pulling up to the house, getting out of my car, going in the front door, walking to the garage, opening up the garage from the wall switch, and finally cranking up the car and driving it in. I get tired just thinking about it. That’s pretty much it as far as stuff happening here lately. Well besides women chasing me every time I leave the house. I’m kidding of course. Quite a bit of stuff is coming up though. I ordered an awesome bag from Timbuk2 that should be coming in this week. I’m pretty pumped about that. Timbuk2 makes some boss bags yo! I’m also going to go to the young people’s meeting in Port Arthur soon. That will be fun. The people there are so awesome. Also we have the talent show coming up and yes, me and Dizzy are cooking up something for that. No clues for now but you know we are working madly to make sure it will satisfy our massive fan base. Well kids thats gonna do it for now. You guys stay outta mischief alright?

Missin’ You

Hey kids. How’s it going yo? Aren’t ya’ll just so lucky that I have been posting so much stuff in so short of a time? Well what can I say, I love my fans and if it’s posts they want well then it’s posts they’ll get! Today I want to take a little while to remember some places that were around a few years ago but are no longer with us. This town has really changed since I was a kid and we have a lot of cool places we used to didn’t but there’s still a lot of places that have went away as well. I’m very saddened that my kids someday will not get the pleasure of visiting these places. Alright enough of this introduction nonsense, on to the list!

1. Circuit City – Probably the most recently closed place on this list. I really really miss the City. I visited it often and bought many things from it’s Sunday ad. Circuit City, you will be missed.

2. Super K – Yeah our K-Mart was kinda trashy but still, it gave you a choice. If you didn’t want to go to walmart well then just drive over to the Super K. Other things to miss about our K-Mart include blue light specials, the full sized arcade they had, and yet another sunday ad. sniffle…..

3. Service Merchandise – I loved me some Service Merchandise. Especially when it was in the mall where the men’s Dilliards is now. They had a very sizable toy/videogame section. I will never forget playing the Sega Genesis for the first time at Sevice Merchandise. They also had a full sporting goods section as well. FunFact about Service Merchandise – I’m pretty sure my sister Cheryl registered here for her wedding. Epic!

4. KB Toys – It really is a shame that kids nowadays don’t even have a toy store in the mall. KB toys used to be in every mall and now they’re almost nonexsistent entirely. They made the mall trip so much more bearable when you had to go as a kid. They also always had a big bin of clearance videogames at all times.

5. Mazzios on Valley Mills Dr. – I really miss this place. I know there’s one in Hewitt but it’s not the same. I went to Mazzios countless times whenI was young. With my family, every Sunday night with church people, and  so many times with just Mother Dear and Linda Perryman (weird huh?) who would always give me tokens to play Turltles arcade with. Mazzios was awesome. You could also bring in you’re report card and they would give you tokens for the A’s you had. It was pretty sweetness.

6. Doc and Laddys – I’m not sure if I’m spelling the name right but this place was awesome. They had videogames, bowling, putt putt, laser tag, and a skating rink. It was like the best place ever when you’re like 13. Fun Fact – it was the first place I ever had the pleasure of playing Crazy Taxi, one of my all time favorite games.

7. Winns – Winns rocked! It was like a mini Wal-Mart for small towns like Robinson. Me and my sisters would get so pumped when mom would take us to Winns and we could spend our $2 allowances. It was awesome!

8. Mr. Gatti’s – If we didn’t eat at Mazzios as mentioned earlier we were probably at Mr. Gatti’s. I have mad affection for Mr. Gatti’s. It used to be the only place with a big screen period. We went here so much. I have extra special memories of going here because we used to go here with Terry and Kathy and all the kids before they died. I can still remember riding with their family to Gatti’s. It really does not get any better then that kids.

9. Lion’s Park Volleyball courts -The best place ever for volleyball.   That’s all that needs to be said.

10. J.T. McCords – Really awesome restaraunt that was the place to go before we had Chilis and Applebees. ( Man I’m Old!) They had great chips and chicken tenders. A win-wn!

Well kids thats all the places I can think of at the moment. I think we all would agree that this town would be a better place if these establishments were still here. However there are a few places that have gone away that I don’t miss. Here are a few of them – Mervyns, Lake Air Mall, Grandy’s, Ryans, Underwoods, Cox’s, Black Eyed Pea, Weiners, and MJ Designs are just a few that come to mind. You’ll notice that the majority of the places I don’t miss were restaraunts I hated or places Mother Dear dragged me when I was little. Anyway hope you kids enjoyed this trip down memory lane. Take it easy.
