I been knocking around the idea of starting a blog since about, well, I don't know ... a long time. So here's to the end of procrastination. This blog will be about everything and nothing in particular. And with that said, that will probably be my last disclaimer because, fuck it, it's my blog so I can write what I want.
I'm watching the Jets game. Why am I not more excited that Brett Favre is playing in New York? I'm more into politics now than I've ever been which doesn't take much because before, I didn't care at all. I want to say that it's for more reasons than just that this is the closest that a black man has ever gotten to the White House. But the truth is, it's probably just that. There is a black man with a chance to run the country and I don't want to be left behind. But I don't have an "Obama for Yo Mama" t-shirt. No pins. No bumper stickers. I have though become more educated on foreign policy and the financial crisis. I watched more debates this election than I have in my entire life. I'm trying to not be biased.....trying hard. Cause I just want to slap John McCain. And I want to see Sarah Palin in person so that I can point and laugh.... hard!
I'm not just listening for who is more popular or endearing. I'm listening to policy and contradictions and the actual ANSWERS to the questions. Just not the deflections and rhetoric and honey-coated bullshit. This is the first time I've felt like an election has truly affected me directly. Like when I look at my 401K and/or get a mutual fund statement that says I'm losing the little piece of money I DO have and my only thought is: fuck this shit!
I don't know how they are going to fix this America that we live in. But that's why the President is supposed to be smarter than me. And smarter than you.
So I don't need an Obama T-shirt. My t-shirt slogan will say "Fuck this shit. Vote '08"
Randomness....
There are good women in the world. Good men too. ... The Knicks are still going to suck. I'm still going to watch every game and cheer like they are going to win 72 of them. .... I'd like to tell everyone who doubted me when I co-signed on Eli Manning that they can start forming a line for fellatio. ... I've been reading more now than I ever have before. On that note, Junot Diaz is the man, Malcolm X was assassinated about six blocks from where I work (yes, I get paid to write for a living too so if you're reading this, donations are welcome and I'll be setting up a PO Box.) ... I'm on to Cornel West now. .... Bill Maher is actually funny as shit but I've never heard anyone denounce religion the way he does. I won't co-sign on that but if it's funny, shit, I'ma laugh. ... I hate Blackberry. How can they make everyone more accessible and less sociable all at the same time? ... I saw a woman standing on the train last week, breast-feeding her baby. I still don't know how I feel about that. ... People should listen more and talk less. .... People who most firmly demand honesty, aren't the most honest people themselves. ... I admire anyone who knows something that I don't and is willing to share. ... My brother is determined to beat the ever-worsening recession. He says fuck sleep, there is money to be made.
My brother is my idol.
Hold the light.

I'm with you on sooo many points I mean fuck we all claim to be somewhat politicial but this year every muthafucka educated or not is watching at least a debate. Bill Maher is straight comedy they should have never takin his show off HBO and Andy Rooney is also as funny. On the random thought note Jack Cafferty from CNN HATES Sarah Palin and its soooo great, if you don't know youtube it lmfao. Oh and my bother is my idle cuz that fucker goes for what he wants but still maintains sensibilty that latter I have trouble with.
Cheers to the end of procrastination. She's one chick thats hard to get over. But you definitly spoke many truths. This election is one that many unpolitical individuals are definitly getting involved in. I think for the first time in a long time many people feel they have a candidate that can relate to them or atleast evoke enough courage to pay attention to the shit thats being said and going on. Especially since the last time we fell asleep at the wheel, we got stuck with George W. Bullshit.
As far as Palin goes, let me start by first joining the masses in a unanimously SMH. She is clearly not the brightest lightbulb in the chandelier. I think 9/10 television reporters roast her ass consistantly, but yet she gets nuff love in the papers. That shit really grinds my gears.
But definitly Mr. Stillmatice, onward and upward with the light.
HONESTLY CHRIS-- you are our new Colin West be the letters, words, and phrase's for our generation! Speak, preach, laugh, n make us all think! You have a gift-- Let me "co-sign" and say, This is a great introduction to your world and is the next 'it' blog! And Im STILL thinking about that shortie breast feeding incident-- WOaH!
lmao @ my spec's gears being ground
