Lazy Monday

Time for another edition of random thoughts from an office somewhere in Washington, DC.

Relax yourself girl, please settle down.

-I think Flavor of Love is the best show on television right now. This show has jumped from guilty pleasure to the show I want to call everybody and tell them to watch. I’m going to be sad to see it end. Is it ignorance personified? Yes. Is it further proof that there are at least 10 women in the world with absolutely NO other purpose than to be video hoes? Hell yes. Did Punkin deserve to get molly-the-fuck-wopped for spitting torpedo style on New York? Without a doubt. It’s been said before, but this is The Black Bachelor. There is nothing cookie cutter about this show. Flavor Flaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaav! He is my choice for man of the year!

-I’d also like to go on the record and admit that I watch Grey’s Anatomy. Every Sunday. I tried to avoid it but my younger sister got me hooked. And I’d like to slap the monkey shine shit out of Meredith for using poor George like she did. She is an assmonkey and should be given the heeby jeeby’s and the Bee Gee’s for her actions. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, watch the show.

-I just checked CNN.com and it appears that Justice Antonin Scalia has become the newest spokesman for the gun-toting NRA nuts out there. I’m well aware that everybody in the NRA isn’t just itching to shoot something every 10 seconds. However, I’ve also read one of the NRA’s monthly magazine. Talk about totally misguided people. There was even a quote that stated there was proof that the more people owned personal handguns, the less crime occurred. I’d like to see the study that made a positive correlation between those two things. I’m not saying it isn’t possible, but it sounds to me like one of those instances of making the stats fit the position. Kind of like Ice Hockey in Hong Kong…only not at all.

Anyway, this is what Scalia said to the National Wild Turkey Federation, which I somehow think has less to do with a buch of Wild Turkey’s coming together to set an agenda for the continued progress of the species and more to do with a bunch of middle-aged white men trying to find new ways to kill them. Gander if you will…um, no pun intended:

“The attitude of people associating guns with nothing but crime, that is what has to be changed,” Scalia told the audience of about 2,000.

“I grew up at a time when people were not afraid of people with firearms,” said Scalia, noting that as a youth in New York City he was part of a rifle team at the military school he attended.

“I used to travel on the subway from Queens to Manhattan with a rifle,” he said. “Could you imagine doing that today in New York City?”

It seems that the good Justice wants folks to be able to walk around with guns all willy nilly. I wonder if that includes us little nigras in the inner city ghettoes that these people wouldn’t venture to if their wives were kidnapped by Christopher Walken and Laurence Fishburne.

And there are folks carrying rifles on the subway today in New York City, Antonin. They are called the U.S. Military.

-Master P should be shot by the U.S. Military on a New York City subway for being a grown ass black man with no rhythm. Thank you.

-Has anybody else noticed that R. Kelly STILL hasn’t been to trial yet?

-I must mention this again. But poor Busta Rhymes. Riding high off his comeback courtesy of Dr. Dre and Aftermath Records. How pissed would you be to see him wearing a Stop Snitching t-shirt right about now? Me, I’d be heated and I’d throw potatoes at white people in Idaho. I read on Allhiphop (which doesn’t necessarily give this much credence) that he went to Cali to avoid a New York State subpoena. Not sure how much truth there is to that. But damn…I’m just glad I’m not a rapper and don’t have to live by shit like that for street credibility. Then again I also miss out on all of the video hoes and free access to any STD imaginable. But I guess you can’t make an omelete without breaking a few eggs.

I’m sure that will make sense to somebody. I’m also sure that somebody will actually consider whether or not that’s a worthy trade-off.

-Howard University, the other white meat, is holding a Hip Hop Symposium on it’s campus at the end of March. I think that when I hit it big, I’m going to have one of them there symposiums myself and partner with an HBCU so I can bring all these people who come here and think that rap is garbage and put them on stage with other folks like myself so we can battle it out in public. I’m sure there are actually people who hold views similar to T. (look at that, you got a shoutout in one of my posts) on one of the spectrum and then there are people like me on the whole other end. We might also make it pay per view and feature a boxing ring where for every good point somebody makes, the other gets to take blast their favorite rap or other song. Either that or everybody will just take shots of Grey Goose and then we have a After Symposium Jam filled with nothing but the clean version of rap songs and Willie Nelson.

But, something I did want to mention was that these symposiums rarely feature people, especially younger black folks, who have a disdainful opinion on rap. It’s always people who are rappers trying to explain what needs to happen. Coincidentally, they are also some of the oldest and currently least selling rappers in the game right now. Ironic? I think not.

Bottom line, when I hit it big, some of you will get calls from me.

-I realized the other day that I know one person who actually still watches BET. I’d like to say that my plan is working, but the fact is, BET just sucks and has been running people away faster than the creator AYD’S Weight Loss regiment. I saw this on vh1’s WebJunk show. Apparently, in the late 70’s (I think), there was a fellow who created the AYD’s weight loss regimen. Talk about the WORST name for a produce, weight-loss, no less. I wonder where that dude is now.

Anyway, BET has apparently run anybody who would actually watch it away. Not that I care much, I just feel that it’s important to do BET updates from time to time.

-I went to the University of Maryland for grad school. With that in mind, I’d like to say that I’m a huge Duke Blue Devils fan. And I love JJ Redick.

And fuck the Maryland Terrapins and have fun in the National Invitational Tournament.

I have become bored with myself.

That is all for now.
