This is a tumblelog, kinda like a blog but with short-form, mixed-media posts with stuff I like. Scroll down a bit to start reading, or a bit more to read more about me.
But of course, whiteness throws it back in our faces when we step outside the box, because doing anything that isn’t being a thug/gangsta bitch and listening to rap music makes us all ‘not black’ apparently…
My life everyday. “You’re not really black.”, “Man you are whiter than I am.” these are the quotes I get on a weekly basis since I am way into nerd culture and “very eloquent for a…young man”.
Whatever bishes, y’all just jelly.

This is what a perfect holiday sounds like.
Well my Non-traditional Thanksgiving is off to a pretty good start, no sarcasm whatsoever, it is really not that bad since I couldn’t join family in Atlanta due to work. Played some soccer with some of the restaurant staff…almost threw up and shit myself by the way, yeah playing holiday beerpong the night before then running still inebriated will do things to a body. Gonna make some beef stew or bourguignonne gonna do some traditional things like drink and watch the games and I think me and a couple of friendlies may go to the mall at midnight and shop like crazy people.

“The Easter egg that took three years to hide. Our show is TOTALLY ACCESSIBLE” via Dan Harmon’s twitter.
I’m glad that ‘Community’ creator Dan Harmon is aware that ‘Community’ might just be a tad inaccessible to mainstream audiences. A tip of the hat to ‘Community’ for setting up a Beetlejuice sight gag that was three seasons in the making for something no one probably noticed when it finally occurred.
This is why I love Community, you basically have to be as committed to TV as Abed is to get a lot of the deeper jokes and Easter eggs.
Tebowing
(vb) to get down on a knee and start praying, even if everyone else around you is doing something completely different.
This is an extremely important corner of the internet that everyone should know about.
I’m not NOT Tebowing in my office right now.
Gonna do this at work, during the Rangers game.

This song has been my new hotness for like two weeks now. Gets me all pumped up and shit.
President Obama doesn’t take mulligans when he plays golf. The same cannot be said for the way he governs. Just weeks after negotiations over the debt limit hobbled the nation and his presidency, Obama appeared in the Rose Garden on Monday to do what he had not done before: He laid out a specific plan for deficit reductions, including more than $1 trillion in new taxes, and promised to veto any plan that cut entitlements without raising taxes on wealthier Americans and corporations.
In place of general statements about “balance” and “compromise,” Obama proposed $310 billion in new cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and other health programs, $270 billion in other cuts and reforms, and $1.5 trillion in new tax revenue that Obama said would be borne mainly by the wealthiest Americans and corporations. The President spent much of July publicly minimizing the differences between himself and Republican House Speaker John Boehner as he chased after an elusive “grand bargain” on deficit reduction. But now he described a sharp contrast, and offered two ultimatums: First, the promise to allow all the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts to expire at the end of 2012 if Congress cannot reach a tax reform agreement, and secondly, a promise to veto any bill that takes a dime from Medicare beneficiaries without raising taxes on the wealthy and large corporations.
“Middle class families should not pay higher taxes than millionaires and billionaires,” Obama said, laying out a message that will likely carry him through next year’s election. “That’s pretty straightforward. It’s hard to argue against that.”
It was a speech designed to shift the debate over spending and taxation onto Democratic turf, away from the debate on spending toward a debate on what is fair for the middle class. “Anybody who says we can’t change the tax code to correct that,” he continued, “anyone who has signed some pledge to protect every single tax loophole so long as they live, they should be called out. They should have to defend that unfairness, explain why somebody who’s making $50 million a year in the financial markets should be paying 15% on their taxes when a teacher making $50,000 a year is paying more than that, paying a higher rate. They ought to have to answer for that.”
Obama went so far as to name names, calling out his old negotiating partner, Boehner, for laying down his own iron clad marker, by promising not to raise taxes. “The Speaker says we can’t have it ‘My way or the highway’ and then basically says ‘My way or the highway,’” Obama said. “That’s not smart. It’s not right.”

Moar, please.
Smart move, approval is at an all time low so now there is very little to lose if you start whipping out the guns and sticking to them. With a clearer view of who the republican nominee will be the administration can start a narrative on election issues and have a somewhat concrete standing.
If someone sees you walking around your workplace carrying a book or a magazine and you don’t work at Barnes & Noble, then they know where you’re going and your cover is blown, you dirty office shitter. No reading material in the bathroom. And if you’re dumb enough to disobey this rule, certainly don’t leave your newspaper lying all over the stall. People will just resent having to clean up your mess. And certainly don’t leave a half-done crossword lying around. Then people will think you’re stupid on top of gross. Everyone these days has a phone, so look at that and put it back in your pocket. Hell, you can even send some emails so if a bomb goes off you have a time-stamped alibi.
This is also good info for shy shitters, because come on people have some shame concerning the vile things that come out of you. I hate toilet bowl boasters.
