DJ AM (real name Adam Goldstein), seen above with Travis Barker at Coachella 2009, was found dead late this afternoon in his NYC apartment. TMZ is reporting that prescription pill bottles were found next to his body after a friend called police when DJ AM was not heard from for a couple of days.

If you recall late last year, DJ AM and Travis Barker were the only two survivors from a Learjet crash which killed 4 others.

Movie Review: The Boys and Girls Guide to Getting Down

I had never heard of this film, but Netflix recommended that I watch it after enjoying other movies similar to it, so I added it to my queue and sure enough, Netflix was right! The movie is a tongue-in-cheek take on nightlife and social interactions between young people in the US (mostly in California). It’s full of drugs, sex, alcohol…and fake doctors that dish out experiment after experiment to see just how people make it out in the party scene in the US.

On a scale of 1-10, I’d give this one a good solid 6.5. Recommended for a casual night at home.

Coffee tastes better from your favorite mug

I love coffee and this is a photo of my favorite coffee mug.

According to new research done by Dr. Tom Stafford, a psychologist from Sheffield University, the intake of coffee is very much similar to the intake of any sort of drug of reward. Over time, the user develops a ritual or method of having the coffee that provides the best result, and using one’s favorite cup or mug is one of the ways that a user enjoys a brew to the fullest.

Cocaine Cowboys

The good thing about having a Netflix account is that there are more than enough documentaries to go through via their online streaming movie service. Whenever I’m bored, I log in to Netflix and choose one of the recommended documentaries to watch and the most recent one was one called Cocaine Cowboys.

Cocaine Cowboys is about the drug trafficking that went on in Miami during the early days of the city and how the drug money from that era went on to literally build and sustain the city itself into the hugely popular tourist destination it is today. The film goes quite in depth into the violence that occurred and took over Miami in the 70’s and 80’s and highlights some of the important figures in the drug trade that ruled the area like a mafia family (a Columbian and Cuban mafia family).

The film does progress kinda quickly, especially with the numerous interviews of fast-talking criminals behind a sometimes-annoying (and continuously playing) film soundtrack. However, that doesn’t affect the way that this movie delivers its message and that has definitely made me more curious about the city in which I grew up in.

Man gets arrested wearing fuzzy lion slippers

Here is William Torres in quite possibly the worst and best arrest photo ever.

Torres was driving on Turner Street Friday afternoon when he was pulled over by police and arrested. He was wearing a hooded sweartshirt with a skull-head pattern on it, pajama bottoms and fuzzy lion-faced slippers at the time. He was still wearing the get-up when he was arraigned after midnight at Lehigh County prison.

His list of charges include possession of a controlled substance, murder, and intent to sell drugs. He’s 21. You can tell he’s hardcore not by that list, but by his “fuzzy lion-faced slippers”. Nice.
