As an Orthodox Momiterian, church and I don’t necessarily jive. The core tenet of my belief system is to please the only diety that counts — my mother. With this serving as the backbone, ExmasEve services have become an annual sacrement that I must observe without fail or complaint (except last year when I was too [...]
I think I know it all, but I follow protocol
Time to get back on the horse. It’s been long — too long — since I have embarassed myself on here. I’m not one to give excuses, but that being said I’ve been busy. Corporate busy. Business casual busy. Weak-sauce busy. I’ve started up at a new job and it sucks the life out of me. [...]
Some shameful shit
This is the type of isht that makes you ashamed to be from Minnesota from the Unites States white a human being. In the Minneapolis suburb Brooklyn Park, an autistic teen became the victim of three idiots’ hate. Fucked up. Again, the ripple effect of Obama’s election is being manifested in some angry and disturbing [...]
Oh captain my captain!
So Barry addressed the kids this morning (click here to peep what he had to say in what I gotta say is a pretty good speech). Like Wu-Tang, the President is for the children. Lost in the furor over his speech is the political two-stepping that these mother-effers in DC are getting so good at. It’s [...]
Wisdom from unexpected places
Got caught by surprise when reading an article this morning and thought I would push it along. The source of it had me shook. In discussing the ongoing trials and tribualtions of Miami Heat forward Mike Beasley (a different post altogether, but click here for the Cliff Notes), Heat GM Pat Riley had this to [...]
ATM stolen in Chicago, thieves have trouble getting it up their backsteps
Turns out someone stole an ATM (that’s what they call “Time Machines” in America all you Wisconivites) from Chicago’s Millenium Park last night.
Someone made off with an entire automated teller machine in Millennium Park, police said Friday morning.
Police were notified at 7 a.m. that the ATM was taken from 11 N. Michigan Ave. in Millennium Park [...]
The rabid dog is racism?!?!?!?
Insert intellectual boner here. Some of my favorite things — literature and literary criticism that attempts to frame said literature — are on full display here. 99.9999% of literature cannot be read as though existing within a vacuum. Really any manifestation of art cannot be treated as such, for it fails to attribute the artist’s own personal world view [...]
Edward Hall, Expert on Nonverbal Communication, Is Dead at 95
[Insert non-verbal body language here to indicate that I never knew this duke existed until now. And yes, I know I'm an idiot.]
Get Busy Living or Get Busy Dying Entertainment
Peep the first single due out Spring 2010 off the album “Better Then Average Vision (The 20-10 Experience).” Figaro, figaro! Brought to you by DJ Andy Dufresne aka the Original Crate Digger.
SIDEBAR — This all started as I traded emails with my boy Duryl. He sent me the video of Delonte West [...]
Come to Jesus…and by Jesus I mean me.
Let’s face the facts. I’ve mentioned it before, I have some serious problems with crushes. I’ve had lengthy discourse on the topic — though it usually degrades into talk about these crushes being nice to old people, taking in rescue animals, caring about the planet, etc etc etc. But I’ve got a new one and [...]
“Alienation of affection”…really??
So as I prepare to take the bar in little more than a week, I have been deluged by the most insane, inane, and completely implausible fact patterns that I have started to believe them. Rather than plagarize someone, or try to be original about what I mean by this, click here and check out [...]
Stop right there! I want to keep the Gumby.
Over at A-Trak’s blog and he had a funny little entry about what if your barber/stylist/friend with clippers were to stop half way into the haircut. It’s something I’ve thought about mad times. In fact anytime I’ve grown my hair out and went to go get it chopped, I almost want to make my guy/girl [...]
I guess I should go ahead and register myself
Troubling news from the land of sex crimes. It seems as if two of my favorite pastimes are being attacked by the liberal media elite’s apparachix. If stalking in bushes is named next, I’m moving to a new country. Quick aside….these are stories from two City Pages articles and I didn’t even get to Savage [...]
For [insert name]’s eyes only
Everybody has them, even if they don’t admit it. For some its a mere adolescent memory since faded into the sub-psyche. Others carry on the tradition into adulthood. And others continue it into marriage, when the need – for me at least - is long gone. I’m talking about the ancient tradition of love letters.
I bring the subject up [...]
Born in December, I had no chance to play hockey
Two of my favorite writers seemingly have nothing in common. One is a sports and pop culture junky from Boston that writes for ESPN and is funnier than people running for the first time in his/her life come spring time. The other is an impeccably credentialed Toronto-native that writes on some of the more thought provoking [...]
