Wiki Entry of the Day

Today I am introducing a brand new theme to the El Padrino blog. The Wikipedia lesson of the day. It will come with a link and a breif summary of the subject. I'v said many times how awesome Wikipedia is. I bet you can home school a kid from it. In fact I may try this with my own kid.

Wikipedia entry of the day.

Summary: Motherfucker was 16 years old when he started running shit. Guy was a pimp. Pimping ferries and ships. He nailed it. People wanted to go places. He wanted to take them places. Started undercutting other transportation companies, eventually just domintating the waters and the rails. Built the original Grand Central Station in NYC. He was such a ruthless businessman he disowned his sons, except for one of them. That one happen to be just as ruthless as himself. Part of his legacy now includes Vanderbilt University in Nashville Tennessee. The Commodores they are known as. I betcha Cornelius has some sort of cloud empire in heaven. Fucking guy.

Nice sideburns bro.

A few weeks ago I linked Seeqpod, a music search engine that allowed you to search for songs and save them to a playlist that would stream on your pc. Well it seems as if they caused some ruckus within the industry but will be bought which sould lead to a unilateral company that enables people to attain music easier. Maybe like a Limewire.

Tyson, another review

To say I'm obsessed with Mike Tyson's career is like saying fat guys like to eat. Can't get enough.

Thought(s)

I wish my wife liked movies more. I love movies. We should go to the movies more often. Last movie I saw in the theater was Dark Knight, before that, The Departed. Netflix was great when I had it but it became a chore. Like I felt if I didn't watch what came in the mail quick I was losing money. But I think I'm going to re-up. I have alot of movies to catch up on.

Also it seems impossible to murder someone nowadays and not get caught. With all the DNA and stuff. Just sayin. And no I'm not interested in murdering someone. Just watch and read alot of shit and these are the thoughts they provoke.

Carry on my wayward sons.

I'll have some links up for the afternoon. It took me over 2 hours to get to work. Like woe. Holland Tunnel was a 60 minute delay. 60 min is 1 hour. So I tried to be cute and jet towards the Lincoln Tunnel. Had to take the streets from there (Wee-hawken) to Jersey City and it was a nightmare. And that is Monday.

Monday, Monday.
