I’m not sure what happened to volumes 1-4, but let’s just pretend they exist, mmkay? It’s Friday, and since I’m writing this as I’m watching Game 7 of the Lakers-Celtics NBA Championship game and EVERYBODY and their mama is on Twitter talking about it, I figured I’d go with something fun, sexxy, and light.
Which brings us to Why Do You Hate Love. What does that mean? Well, it is my (and your) opportunity to question nouns as to why they hate love and keep holding people down. See, what the world needs now, is love, sweet love. That’s the only thing that there’s just too little of. But if we dig deep, we can pull it out (no rhythm method) and find love again. Except for the following.
Why Do You Hate Love…
…Ray Allen – why for come you can’t figure out what works best for you scoring wise. And Boston for that matter. All these damn jump shots are exactly why you are about to lose this game. Drive the damn ball, Miss Daisy. Ooops my bad, you can’t seem to make a layup either. Ray, why do you hate winning? Perhaps that’s the better question.
…Kobe Bryant – if you brick one more shot, they might have to start rebuiding projects in America just to find something to do with all of these damn bricks. If you really loved the people, you’d make a shot here and here.
…BP – your responses to the oil spill have been nothing short of some Black sh*t. My grandmama’s are some straight up country women and your ideas to stop the spill rival some of the ideas they had for curing gout and migraines. Just stop it. All that damn brainpower you employ and the best folks can come up with is a couple of rubbers and some rainboots? Galosh.
…Alvin Greene – you embarass me. You embarass yourself. I’m not sure you’re a Republican plant, but I’m also not sure that you’re a real person. I’ve seen your interviews and I’ve read about your campaign. This isn’t a Black thing or a white thing. This is a what the f*ck is wrong with the people of South Carolina thing. Seriously, if you voted for Alvin Greene you owe somebody 7 hail mary’s, 2 mother may I’s and a partridge in a pear tree.
…Seattle Police – you really need to do a better job of controlling your drama. And for the record, I don’t blame you for hitting that chick. Not that it’s okay, but man, I might have tried to hit her too. It aint’ like they were listening or complying or anything. And you folks up in arms like that chick got beat down REALLY need to step outside yourself and view that video from start to end. Yeah he hit that chick, but DJ from Hustle and Flow had a song called “Whup That Trick” and it was dope.
…Rihanna – why did you break Drake’s heart like that? So much so that this fool is going on radio all thru the country telling folks how you played him. By the way, if you don’t have the album, you probably should get it. Especially if you have boobs. It’s a great album for people with boobs. If you don’t have boobs, it’s still a good album its just hard to drive down the street thru a gang of dudes bumping some music that would normally get you beat up. Even the song with Lil Wayne has some emotional parts.
…Paul Gasol – you know you didn’t get fouled. Why won’t you trim that damn beard? And how do you ALWAYS have it perfectly unkempt? It’s like focused chaos, kind of like Helena Andrews book.
By the way, this game is fucking murdering my arteries. It’s been a pretty terrible game but wow am I invested. Edward Jones.
Anyway, good people of VSB on this great Friday…who else hates love???
And for those folks in town for the Blogging While Brown conference, I’ll see you there.
P.S. Check out PART TWO of our dating advice to all you Superwomen lookin for a Superman.
-VSB P aka THE ARSONIST aka VITAMIN P aka TANGLE JIG P aka GIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRL, HE A 3
I’m blushing right now because I know I am the muze (no VSB commenter) for this post. You mad?
I was thinking of you when reading it too. At least we know the reason (excuse) that PJ was missing from the twitter conversation. LOL
Is it wrong I’m a little excited Seattle (no blogger) got a shoutout here, no such thing as bad press.
@Cheekie,
You are an interesting source of inspiration, ma’am. That game was getting so bad that I turned The Wire on. They bout to kill Wallace. Oh wait. He’s dead now. That Stringer Bell is manipulating as hell. Gotta love it.
@sanen85,
You in Seattle? If you are, that’s a lovely city. Did you check out some of Chris Giarrusso’s art? The guy has some funny stuff.
I am indeed. And yes I did, kept me occupied for a chunk of the day. I had a hard time finding the bobble head comics though.
There’s not much I wouldn’t prefer the Wire to.
Check out his website http://www.chrisgcomics.com. He has some of his bobblehead stuff on there.
@CBG — Thanks, doll. And Stringer is bad, bad Leroy Brown, but I lusts for him.
I checked out the Giarrusso art myself by the way. I likey.
Well I am so glad that you found my avi that interesting to check out the artist.
“…because I know I am the muze (no VSB commenter) for this post.”
LMBO. i know you wanted to say no awesomely awesome flyy VSB commenter, but there wasn’t enough room. lol.
and yes, this post is permeated with Cheekieness.
@Cheekie – assumptions don’t become you.
Become deez.
You know the truth.
“Seattle Police – you really need to do a better job of controlling your drama. And for the record, I don’t blame you for hitting that chick. Not that it’s okay, but man, I might have tried to hit her too. It aint’ like they were listening or complying or anything.”
She was a teenager and yes she shouldn’t have been acting like that, but did he have to punch her in the face like they were in a boxing ring over a jay walking ticket? It’s non-stop drama here with the police.
I forgot there was another VSS here. And yes. The police here are straight a**holes.
Wait, there are fellow Seattle folk here?! Nice. And yes SPD are ridiculous.
206!
Are we gonna have to get a Seattle-based VSB bbq going here?
*excited to see other 206ers
Seattle represent! We need to have a Seattle VSB HH/BBQ something. I thought that I was the only one on here:)
Lovely idea!
@Leila – look, I ain’t saying he should have punched her…but I understand. you can’t attempt to debo a cop and NOT expect anything to happen. we’ve been taught that lesson for hundreds of years. dude is a bad cop and needs some anger managment and needs to learn some restraint…true…but let’s not pretend like that sh*t was totally unprovoked either.
“but did he have to punch her in the face like they were in a boxing ring over a jay walking ticket?” – He didnt punch her over the parking ticket. He punched her for grabbing arm #imjussayin #keepitdecent #copstillkindawrong #butnotaswrongaswe’dliketothink
All I’m saying is that this is a man in a position of authority who should be able to handle his liquor. This is precisely why those fools are issued mace and stun guns (which I hear don’t hurt as bad as getting clocked in your face does).
Not to mention that if this was just a regular ‘ol couple we were talking about, most people would not even considering defending a man hitting his woman for grabbing his arm. #ChrisBreezy#Justsayin.
Ladies, feel free to hit me up on Twitter if you’re serious. *I need more followers anyhow.
Mace and stun guns hurt wwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy more. I’ve stun gunned myself (dont play with weapons in which you have no idea of how to use them) and was maced by my brother (he thought it was locked)
I’ve just heard that being stunned doesn’t hurt as much, I can’t actually confirm that personally. I would think that both hurt more. However, they are sanctioned by the people as acceptable means of subduing, whereas clocking a teenager is not.
P.S. You and your brother either need to quit drinking or just stay away from any potentially harmful objects.
BTW, I mean handle his anger, not liquor. Nobody seemed to notice that though.
No rhythm method?
Bury me a G. CTFU. I watched that Keith Olbermann interview with Alvin Greene the other night, and that was best laugh I’d had in a loooong time. Especially his whole “we campaigned hard” statement. Huh bruh? Someone commented that we was like a real life Bubba from Forrest Gump. Funny, I had been trying to figure out who he reminded me of. That person hit the nail on the head. Oh yeah…Kobe and his team still sucks. *professional hater in the house*
I wouldn’t be shocked to find out he was the inspiration behind Bubba.
“…Fried shrimp, bbq shrimp, shrimp scampi, boiled shrimp…”
Oh yeah, I need to watch that interview. My coworker told me about it too.
I died when Chris (from SPBH fame) called him a Kermit mothaf**ka.
You should pull it up on youtube, like right now. It’s THAT funny. Keith’s facial expressions were hilarious.
Watching it now. I’m up anyway. lol
Ok, I finished a while ago, but I was choking with laughter. How many times he gon’ say 60%?! Po’ chile…
And why folks say he a plant…it’s SOUTH CAROLINA. They need a plant for Republicans to win? o_O
Wow, just finished watching the interview. wow… poor Alvin. He looked like a fish out of water. And not just any water. BP oil spill infested water. smh…
@ miss t-lee,
Did you get the chance to see him be interviewed by Don Lemon? Lemon was talking to him like he was three-yo lost in a mall.
Say word? I haven’t seen that one yet, I will definitely check it out. Sounds equally hilarious.
I just saw the Don Lemon interview *flavor flav wow*. He looked like he wanted to reach through that phone and thrash ‘ol boy…lol. “I’m okay, I’m okay”. LmAO
Okay, I just watched both….smh. It was too embarrassing to laugh at, let alone watch (although I endured). It was as if someone had mistakenly disorganized his cue cards. And that lisp was really annoying paired with the moments of uncomfortable silence. Wow.
and her mama before her cooked shreeiiimmp….and her mama before her cooked shreeeiiimmp too.
“All these damn jump shots are exactly why you are about to lose this game. Drive the damn ball, Miss Daisy. Ooops my bad, you can’t seem to make a layup either. Ray, why do you hate winning? Perhaps that’s the better question.”
I think that Jesus loves to win! I get the impression he’s like the guy who keeps changing up positions in the sack because he can’t quite tell if what he’s doing is getting you off (scoring). He tries too hard, but don’t front, his D was on point tonight.
And once again, I’ve managed to turn something bland into something sexual…lemons to lemonade! LOL
@Mrs. Dr. Evil – well Jesus needed his daddy last night b/c he was playing like he got exposed in somebody’s garden.
That was Judas out there
LAKERS BITCHES!!!!!
BTW- Congrats on that ….and *side note-did anybody else notice Kobe’s daughter with her side-eye game proper ?
Her side-eye game was mad proper!
Cheater lover!
RE:”Sweat From My Balls”
CB4 was recently on one of the HBOs. Whenever people savage Chris Rock’s filmography, I always cite this movie. It is amazing how little rap has change since this satire was made, and how so wrong MC Breed was. A great future can be made in fronting.
*singing* ’cause I’m Black ya’ll and I’m Black ya’ll and I’m Blackitty Black, Black Black ya’ll!
Allen Payne’s portrayal of Dead Mike has led me to forgive him for a lot of transgression.
-Hitting the base and flipping on Nino over that skeezer(throwback slang) in New Jack City
-House of Payne
-The lack of manscaping in Jason’s Lyric
You’re killing me with that Jason’s Lyric comment.. He does need something to make up for House of Payne.
I’m still upset with him and Jada for them wack arse accents in JL. Houston, Texas my azz. *side eye* The taco meat action was pretty bad indeed.
All that I can say to that is the scene with the two of them doing the nasty goin’ down the bayou (#noprincess&thefrog) : Well am I the only one who thought, “I wonder how many times they had to shoot this scene?… because of the possible swarms of gnats and mosquitos getting caught in certain cracks and crevices. Not to mention…I know they both had to be “itchin’ from rolling around in so much grass bucketnaked.
But I loved his role as Charmaine’s beloved boyfriend, Lance (the best).
and I loved Charmaine the best…fast talkin Charmaine…they should do an ADW “where are they now?”- cause I would be all over that..
I can say overall, they made you fall in love with them. Cute young couple with old souls.
…nothing can make up for House of Payne….
You wanted that man to shave his chest? o_O
Is that too much? Are we asking too much?
His chest is one of the off putting things ever caught on film. Everyday I thank The Negro Cinema Gods for blessing me with Love and Basketball and thus freeing me from having to see Jason’s Lyric ever again.
Boston definitely didn’t play to win that game. They are by no means a “come from behind” team…they’re more like a “lose from ahead” team.
…and Kobe is a tool. Black and Decker.
Your avatar, tho…
*cracking up*
*moment of silence*
I know, Cheeks. RIP Russell Ason Jones aka Osiris. The man will never be duplicated.
Cheekie, we’re >>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<< on that avatar.
Cheek…Cheek…Cheek…Cheekieeee!!!
Please stop!!! Bwaaaauuussshhhhh!!! *teary eyed and almost gleeting all over the ‘puter*
LOLOLOLOLOL!!!
I tried but I’m sorry Spank. I really tried….LMAO.
OMG! I just ? your avi… Marpessa Dawn is one of my faves.
Thanks! She’s one of mine too! I sent this to my dad and several other relatives and those fools swore me down three Baby G-zuses that it was me. I appreciated the complement…she is a beauty. My favorite movie of her was Black Orpheus. But I’m pretty much biased when it comes to foreign films and subtitles.
LMAO @ ‘black and decker’
LOL!!!! Yes. Yes he is. Jokes. But eh c’est la vie he gets it done. Bastaad!
Give Kobe “The Rape Man” Bryant his due. Outside of Colorado, I never understood why people hated him so much.
I hated him b/c he got punked by Chris Childs and did nothing about it
@Pesyso
I forgot about Chris Childs hitting Kobe like that cop in Seattle hit Peaches. Thanks for the memory.
I don’t know why I disliked him for so long…
It’s just something about him.
But now, I’ve let up bc people are salty bc everyone has turned their attention to LBJ. Again, I don’t know why people are so interested in LBJ than they are Kobe.
I remember when Kobe was a free agent, but it was nothing like this. Why is that?
PULLLLLLLEAAZZEEEEEE -this avatar, I can’t , I just can’t….
LAKERS!!!
See, this is why I hate telling people I’m from South Carolina. Outside of my immediate family and a few Spelman Sisters, the entire state is full of a bunch of inbred idiots. Who the hell is Alvin Green? My people didn’t vote for him. You know why? Because they didn’t know who the fukc he is, or was, or whatever!! Check out this vid… http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/06/15/woman-voted-for-alvin-gre_n_613453.html
SMH… chick thought he was Al Green. Really?
You from SC??? What part?
Just watched it. Hilarious! LOL
…BP – I like this. Facebook.
…Alvin Greene – I’m not as embarrass, more like perplex. Is opinions that bad in SC. The news suggested (CNN) that people voted because he was the first name on the list. Smh, I really hope that’s not true.
…Seattle Police – Thank you panama for mentioning this. I open the Pandora’s box trying to explain to friends and fam that the her attitude to the cop and having her friend reach out toward the him was gonna scare him. After hearing reports about police treatment in Seattle, can anyone link me to news about past police abuse there?
Just google “Seattle Police Misconduct”. There’s too many to link. Don’t forget about the outlying cities like Renton, Bellevue, Everett (a man was just shot there recently), and the specific parts of Seattle like Tukwila and Seatac.
Thank you, each one teach one
*Clicks google videos* Gonna have to get a drink for this one.
Lakers!!!!!!!…..”I’d like to thank my hood, my family, my psychiatrist….”
^And I ain’t mad at him for thanking his psychiatrist. He worked hard to get to that point. Yay, Artest!
haahahah yes best quote from the post-game interviews. Artest is just way too candid for me but I looove it.
Yes that quote was sooo candid!
Although I do miss the ol’ Ron Artest who was trying to moonlight at Circuit City for the employee discount. (or was it Best Buy, I can never remember.) *snickers*
Don’t forget to keep an eye out for his single that he was promoting. Haha.
As far as Artest is concerned, one of my boys put me up on this…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcZaf8LAxvI
…after listening, I saw Artest in a whole new light.
LMAO!!!
That is a amazing…
bwaahahahaha
“michael michael mike you my n*gga….”
ican’t.
I’m guessing this was made pre-psychiatrist…
“Homie, don’t tell a lie, aggin you know that you miss him (x2). I cry for Mike (x3)”
This is a great way to start my weekend. Thanks for sharing this Mr DG.
Ur very welcome….
We should all enjoy the creative genius of Mr. Artest
Personally, the moment of silence was my favorite part. Nothing but the instruments going in…
Putting the Diddy/Faith/112 tribute to shame… #butnotreally
Why does the Boston Garden hates looking like a basketball court? Why it looks like somebody’s granny parquet kitchen floor?
Why doesn’t Paul Pierce clean that dirt up around the side of his face and keep the white ish out the corners of his mouth?
OMG Yaahhsss!!!
Thank you for mentioning his dirt face and crudy corners, The Wire….
PANAMA!!! Man why are you so hilarious. I can’t even begin to comment on each part of each section that left me *dead*.
Thanks for helping me feel better after this monstrosity called a damn game 7. I was asking the same questions of Ray Ray and Mr. Gasol. I mean really Spain… STFU this is basketball not knitting! Stop your crying for the refs to bail you out and just play! Geez!!
This is a what the f*ck is wrong with the people of South Carolina thing. Seriously, if you voted for Alvin Greene you owe somebody 7 hail mary’s, 2 mother may I’s and a partridge in a pear tree.
Whoa, whoa…don’t try to implicate all of us in that mess. Remember, a lot of us heard about dude the same time everyone else in the country heard about him…the comparisons of him to Bubba (c/ Forrest Gump) are pretty hilarious, tho…
*Detroit Pistons in 2011, btw
For those of you watching the game, did you see the Black guy in the commercial apologizing? He was from Louisiana and that. I was waiting for them to have a brotha take the fall
I first saw Brothaman last week in a full page ad in our local paper, and then those commercials started running. All I’ma say is I hope they’re paying him well, because that oil spill is epic failure times ten thousand.
i thought that was interesting too.
meanwhile back in jolly ol uk..bp bosses still rollin in money. ugh.
@I Am Your People – yeah i saw that commercial a few days ago and was like, man, you done sold your soul for this one homes. this is worse than doing herpes commercials.
except not really, since most hood chicks probably think BP is short hand for Big Poppa.
I’d like to call out PJ for spelling Pau Gasol “Paul.”
And what was with Paul Pierce’s rabies lips? Or the fact that Kendrick Perkins stole one of Craig Sager’s shirts? All kinds of fail
@I Am Your People – well, i would like to say that I wrote that post good off some rum and coke(s). i’ll take that L.
QUADRUPLE ENTENDRE DON’T EVEN ASK ME HOW!
1) How much do I love the pic for this post?! I kinda want it to be my new screensaver
2) “Sweat From My Balls” may be the grossest tag ever…bad PJ, bad!
3) I’d like to add to the list every bad driver who’s ever been on the Beltway. Why must a trip on the 495 feel like a fight for my life? Between the speeders, semis, folks who ride their brakes and the reckless motorcyclists I STAY praying for traveling mercies. #JesusTakeTheWheel
My commute on 495 (coming from 50) takes 45 minutes to get to Greenbelt and at least 1 hour and 30 minutes to get to Mazza Gallery in the mornings (if traffic is ‘normal’) smh. I’m going to have to learn how to take the dreaded Metro….
Yes..the metro would be your answer to that long azz commute.
The metro may shave a little bit of time off my commute, but not much. It’s one of the perks that come with living in the DMV…you get use to sitting in traffic
@MsEsquire77 – 2) “Sweat From My Balls” may be the grossest tag ever…bad PJ, bad!
but i’m bad so good!
O! I forgot to answer the question.
Hollywood: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfMKkO5ZSFY
A Smurfs Movie?? Really, Hollywood. Starring George Lopez as Grouchy Smurf, Katy Perry (yes, the singer) as Smurfette, Paul Reubens a.k.a “Pee Wee Herman” as Jokey Smurf, Kenan Thompson (SNL) as Greedy Smurf, John Oliver (The Daily Show) as Vanity Smurf
The End is Near
Oh, I’ll keep a weather eye out for that. Thanks. I miss the smurfs. ‘Ol skool cartoons in general were a lot less corny…and actually funny compared to what’s out now. And that Smurf cereal was off the chain! LOL (yeskidatheartrighthere)
And that Smurf cereal was off the chain!- I’m kind of partial to fruity pebbles from that era…just sayin
The only thing with those is you have to fish around for them in the bowl and slurp em down before those jokers get mushy and soggy. I would always tease my cousins that they looked as if they were participating in a cereal-eating contest. Now my girls tease me about eating “old people’s cereal” like frosted shredded wheat, granola raisin, or oatmeal crisp with apples or the vanilla almond special k. But I’oun care. LoL.
cosignin on the “ol folks cereal” but I’ll have the chocolate cheerios, Kashi Go Lean, & Kashi Good Friends with the serious “bootleg” lookin box , please & thank you .
Smurfs and Smurfberry Crunch was sh!t! It’s Smurfy! LOL! I wonder who is playing Gargamel…
See^^^ !!! Its about time! I was beginning to think that I was the only one who ate, let alone knew about Smurfberry Crunch. It reminded me of cotton candy (blue smurfs with red berries)…but better. And it turned the milk purple…(I was so fascinated as a child) lol. And that’s a good question, I’d like to know who’s going to play the voice of Gargamel (to include the who getup) too….and Azrael (the cat)…???…I now chuckle at the thought of Clumsy Smurf’s voice and which actor can actually pull it off.
Am I the only one that thinks Kendrick Perkins is B-Legit’s long lost son?
Anyway I hope someone from South Carolina comments today and explain this Alvin Greene situations. At the same time I want to know what negroes voted for him? or were the machines rigged?
Joe Buddens, dog you seriously need to give a class to ninjas. This dude follows Humble’s rules. He gets a thumbs up for being an underground rapper and upgrading his chic. Going from Tahiry to Esther Baxter is an excellent move.
Ford Motor Company – You are going to force me in indentured servitude for a 2011 5.0 Mustang aren’t you? Seriously you couldn’t wait a year or two to bring this car out?
Yeah man…
I just saw that Joe Budden clip wit that big tittied video chick…that ninga stay winning…
Buddens stay winning when it comes to the ladies.
That 5.0 is going to be a problem.
why did boston love the lakers getting all their rebounds?
why do people love to hate on lil cdn jewish kid from the mean streets of forest hill? blame how we (the people. #no pledge of allegiance) consume music.
why do i love to hate nfl players who sign contracts, then want to negotiate after 1 yr. why can’t i do that with my cell phone company???
why do i JUST PLAIN hate the G8/G20 taking over my city in the WORST ways. aint no love. #hova.
why do i love vsb but hate that the best convos happen between 12:00am – 8:00am? lol.
why do bb users love to hate on iphone users and vice versa like we’re all doing nothing but making steve and jim richer?
why do i hate my profuse love for my blackberry though?
that’s all i got for now.
why do bb users love to hate on iphone users and vice versa like we’re all doing nothing but making steve and jim richer?
I been wondering this myself.
why do i hate my profuse love for my blackberry though? I know! love my 9530. Can’t wit to see Storm 3 and 4 at the end of the year.
I may ask which you run on?
I have the original blackberry bold (trackball, leather backing). i’ve felt empty inside for the past 6 days. and i will NEVER own a touch screen/slider phone (my loaner was a fancy samsung that drove me crazy).
life without my calendar, my rss feeds and bbm messenger is NOT LIFE!!!!!
very true.
#teamiphone #fortherecord
“why do i love vsb but hate that the best convos happen between 12:00am – 8:00am? lol”
Since I don’t rely on coffee, I have to get my rest lol!! And by the time we comment at work, it’s too late :/
i know right!?!!
there needs to be a vsb after dark and vsb daylight savings time posts.
“why do i love to hate nfl players who sign contracts, then want to negotiate after 1 yr. why can’t i do that with my cell phone company???”
For all intents and purposes NFL contracts, no matter what how long they are supposed to be, are one year contracts. Because teams can in most cases cut a player at anytime, players were given the ability to hold out. It is for the most part the only leverage players who are non-restricted free agents have to get remedy from their employers.
true. but Big Al is just being a punk.
and history shows, when a player gets the 100M – they dont play to that level anymore.
Revis better have SERIOUS numbers next season.
Big Al is not a nose tackle, and I understand his reluctance to play the position. It is not the technique he has spent his life honing, the pounding that he will take as nose will impact his long term health, and because the position does not showcase the talent that makes him special, it will diminish the value of his next contract.
Shanahan is an idiot for messing with one of The NFL’s best defenses anyway. It was not broke.
Very good point. I stand corrected.
But also stand by my point too. lol.
@Dash
What’s crazy is that the NFL doesn’t have guaranteed contracts. The player’s union needs to work on that. If any pro-sport should have guaranteed contracts it’s football
extra co-sign.
that and the rookies getting GI-normous contracts before learning the spelling of the team that just drafted them.
that’s one of the FEW things that the NBA got right.
The players do not want guaranteed contracts because of the hard salary cap. Individual players who outperform their contracts would be stuck at their low pay rate.
A rookie pay scale like the NBA is gaining traction amongst players,but I do not think they have figured out what concession they want from owners to make it happen.
Please add this one to the list as long as we’re on the popo ’cause I don’t see it getting as much press as the Seattle situation. Maybe because it wasn’t caught on camera or maybe because it happened in Birmingham, or maybe both.
http://blog.al.com/spotnews/2010/06/teen_dies_following_confrontat.html#incart_mce
Not saying those four boys wasn’t effin up big time, but the dead teen was 17 years old. The youngest of the group is 12 years old. I’m outnumbered on the local blogs here by racists who are either making jokes (“Don’t taze me, bro, hahaha”) to the downright hateful.
Long as we’re talking about hatin’ love, I just had to put this out there to the VSB fam.
I agree with Panama about the SPD. They do need to get a handle on dealing with their locals, but oh girl was WAY out of bounds. She shoved the cop which= assaulting a police officer. Those of you talking about SPD I don’t know too much about them but The NYPD would have done more than deck her in the face. You know NYPD and aired/sodomized/harasses citizens for much lesser offenses. We as a people need to learn how to deal with law enforcement! Learn when to stfu and do what you’re told.
@Satya…
Yea I don’t understand what everybody else expects the cop to do in that situation. He was trying to stop one while her friend decides to be super save a h*! I know people who done got beat on for a lot less and for her to put her hands on him and just get away with a punch in the face is the actually the best thing that she could have gotten. I mean I’ll take that over pepper spray or a taser 100% of the time.
Panamaw….why do I get the feeling you love “hate?”…well at least for the time being. And I can’t help but recall for the last couple weeks when you’ve been up to bat, hate being your focal point. I hope whatever it is, it gets better.
I think slowly but surely society’s secret forces are attempting to condition us all to “hate love” while they scheme to take over the world, so by the time we really catch on to what the effs going on, its too late while those few who slipped through the cracks and peeped the play, will be the official target for a manhunt and silenced (#yesilluminaticonspiracytheorynomakavelli)….it seems some of everybody craves a little drama in their lives these days. Because without it, they’d complain of boredom.
Who I think may hate love? Lacey (an old friend’s) 10yr old poodle, which in people years is somewhere in the late 50′s. She’s more than likely going to die a 60yr old virgin. Those stuffed animals will just have to suffice. Poor girl. Poor stuffed elephant. He was only good for his trunk…which resembles a very flat slice of NY style pizza.
@Ms. Butta’sWorth – i’m actually pretty good. there’s just a lot of f*ckery going on in this world that i keep addressing. but at the end of the day, i smile.
Just making sure ya good. No harm in bringing the fcukery to light in order to match a light under somebody’s azz….as long as you keep smilin’ my (VS) brotha.
***Prof Wu walks into “A Brief Hostory of SC Politics” class. Blatantly checks out the legs of the skirt- wearing co-eds in the front row.***
The people of SC first heard of Ill Alvin Greene when they walked into the voting booth on June 8th. Dude didn’t advertise. He dropped 10 stacks to register and that was it. James Clyburn’s claims of Alvin being a plant are jsutified-Both parties do this in primaries because in SC if you ain’t cheatin’ you ain’t trying. Persibally I think dude is a plant. How does an man with a degree in Poly Sci (Name a negro with a degree in anyting who’s not willing to expound on that sh**? *In Alonzo Harris’s voice* “You can’t do it! You can’t do it, Hoyt!” ) and almost a decade under his belt in the military not know sh**. Que? How does an unemployed man who doesn’t have a cell phone pull 10 stacks out of his overflowing coffers to register?
Alvin’s oppent is a right-wing nut job who hates the idea of gubment spending money on anything.
I blame my fellow voters for letting this sh**. I’m posting this from my phone so I’ll get deeper later.
I did a post about these a**hats:

Alvin Greene made me spell history wrong.
GREAT POST ProfWu***** but it makes me sadder more than I could say for SC..and on the whole degree thing…*he needs more people, I ain’t buyin it, all i can say about this a**bucket is ######FAIL#####, another ninjatryintosetus back
How does an unemployed man who doesn’t have a cell phone pull 10 stacks out of his overflowing coffers to register?
That was my first thought…I’m like wtf- Democrats in SC have to do better(and I’m a Republican). If I am unemployed and living w/my dad, the last thing I’m thinking about is spending 10K just to get on the ballot. I would be thinking I could get my own spot, pay for some gas to look for a job, help out my dad, finish this hooked on phonics course (he obviously didn’t complete it)…smh
I thought you were just being ironic, commenting on how messed up SC politics are.
Our politics are messed up but we just happened to be the f***-ups dujour. Historically, we’re no worse than Louisiana, Chicago, or Texas.
Having been born in Louisiana, lived in Texas and read history books, have to agree,you’re right.
How does an unemployed man who doesn’t have a cell phone pull 10 stacks out of his overflowing coffers to register?
You nailed it with that entire post, but I think this ^^^ pretty much sums it up. There’s a whole lot about that situation that doesn’t look too kosher. Not one damn thing makes sense….except for the accusation of him being a plant. Better off trusting a $10 snitch. Prime example of some politicians p!ssing on you AND HAVE THE BRASS to call it rain.
Good post folk…trying to tell people that most folks here don’t vote during the primaries…so most of the state had never heard about ol’ boy until he won….had the whole state looking around like “….Alvin WHO??” That alone makes it pretty suspect…
Politically speaking, SC been doing it’s own thing since the Secession….
Excellent List PJ, and while I am disappointed with the fact that the Lakers won, such is life, and I still hate Kobe for bein a bish a** ninja-cause speakin of hatin love why does he still hate Shaq so, I mean really, c’mon son! and Seattle PD, yep they wrong, but that young girl was wronger than wrong for thinkin it was ok to be doin hood rat stuff with her friends #noLatarian Milton and not listening to the officers of the GD Law (RIPRobinHarris)…Alvin truly should go somewhere & STFU, even if it is SC, like you I’m not sure if he’s a plant , but he fodamsho is the ignantest ninja to be seen as representin any place I have ever seen, the only thing he is missing is a gold grill. BP-seriously the brotha from NOLA on the commercai, tryin to get paid, not givin a damn bout anything else-and what about that A$$hole Joe Barton apologizing to BP-(blank stare)? Bp don’t give an efff bout love or nothin else their safety record shows that in the last 5 years they had 760 safety violations, while all the rest of the oil folks had like, umm 1, and 8, BP is an a$$onym(a$$onym = ridiculous bullshyte acronym) for BigPimpin (NOJAYZ)….all of that bein said you know who truly Hates Love??? The state of Utah, they put a dude to death by firing squad today- yes it’s 2010 and “A five-member firing squad at the Utah State Prison took aim and fired .30-caliber bullets at a target pinned on the chest of a Ronnie Lee Gardner, a convicted murderer, just after midnight on Friday.”…NYT -that is the epitome of hating love….at least to me , at least for today..
Joe Barton is a s.o.b for that. He might as well been wearing a t-thirt that read “I fux wit BP” when said that ish.
BP (again) – http://www.ifitwasmyhome.com/
The site above uses Google maps to show how wide the Spill is compare to where you live. I’m not sure if it’s accurate but, It does make 20 Billion look like a slap on the wrist.

…I secretly heart Pau Gasol and his perfectly unkept beard and hair
Check out this interview they did w/ Alvin Greene on The Root:
http://www.theroot.com/views/alvin-greene-real-joe-plumber
Seattle Police- He shouldn’t have stole Peaches in the face and he should be punished for it, but I understand. Perhaps if Peaches parents would have laid hands a little more she would have known her role.
BP may hate love but BP spokesman/Chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg hates the “small” people. Dude was a cigawette and a black uniform away from looking like B-movie nazi!
I hate to love/love to hate…
Conservatives who are pissed at Barry O’s response to the oil spill. You can’t have big gubment when, where, and how you want it. That’s not how superheroing works.
People who haven’t pushed for alternatives to oil. This would solve so many of our problems-We could leave the Mid-East to its own devices and there would be a drastic decrease of six-legged otters running around the swamps of Louisiana.
Comcast for my crappy cable box that was pixilating while I was trying to watch Burn Notice and Royal Pains.
“He shouldn’t have stole Peaches in the face and he should be punished for it, but I understand”-in Chris Rock voice now I ain’t advocating violence with OJ, but I understand…truth! Peaches parents ain’t helped her out one dayum bit! and I am so feelin you today….negro hand jive for Wu today to the fifty-eleven power *
Negro hand jives for everybodyyyy!
Dude, I don’t why, but Burn Notice gets better and better every week. I love that show. I have never seen a bad episode.
It really does. I thought Jason Pitts from the Game was going to mess up the chemistry but nope.
He really has been great. I like the reasoning behind his Robin Hood kinda persona. I’m kinda geeked about the next episode. Royal Pains was good last night, too. I’m sorry, but Divya is fine. I mean, like, for real. I’m geeked by her accent the same way the VSSs are about Idris Elba’s accent.
Divya is nice looking. Jill’s okay too.
I live in South Philly, and the night after the Seattle incident, I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of yelling on my corner (as usual). The police were accosting the harmless (and unarmed) neighborhood crackhead, and as I groggily peeked through my blinds, I witnessed three cops surrounding him, guns drawn, infrared dots on dude’s back.
…and they wonder why we don’t respect them.
I am so sorry brotherspanky, but you just can’t make anything resembling a serious comment with that avatar….* I inadvertently commented on someone elses’s upthread ….but yours, yours…..* I just can’t …seriously dead*
Hey, even the Ol’ Dirty AKA Osiris AKA Dirt McGirt AKA Big Baby Jesus was prone to moments of lucid introspection…
^True dat! He helped save some kids lives by helping them when they were pinned down by a car. Dirt McGirt had his great moments.
I hate to love/love to hate reality television. From Desperate Housewives, House Hunters, First 48, Top Chef, Project Runway, Kitchen Nightmares, etc…

All the aforementioned hate love. I still believe Al Green is from the land of make believe.( Mr.Rogers)
Al Gore hates love or the facade of it. You’re seriously going to separate from someone who has tolerated your impossibly boring self? Okay.
This post was great/sad because there are so many people who act counter intuitively towards receiving love. Lord bless the children.
I talked to a friend of mine from South Carolina about Alvin Greene and he apparently knew who Al was before he won. So did his entire extended family and friends. Apparently, Alvin ran one of the most genius stealth campaigns ever by simply visiting a bunch of local churches and collecting donations to pay for the filing fees (this is what the friend said). He also said that spelling of Greene let people know that Al was black and that may have gotten him a bunch of votes as well. I did see the Olbermann interview, the first interview, and a couple of other appearances by the guy and they were all very painful, but I think the democrats may have something to learn from this guy about running a campaign, namely, that if one wants to go grassroots one has to actually go to the roots.
“but I think the democrats may have something to learn from this guy about running a campaign, namely, that if one wants to go grassroots one has to actually go to the roots.”
I like that you said that. I can respect that. People really hated on Obama for that kind of approach but Alvin Greene shows you that going to the people directly still is a way to get votes.
Getting the votes and money to get on the ballot was great, but you still have to know what you are talking about or the you will look incompetent. Obama had a lot of things going for him (highly educated, active in the community, well-spoken, etc) whereas Alvin Greene is lacking in all of these categories. He thing is get jobs, but when asked how he plans to do this, he stutters. He stepped into the big leagues and he wasn’t prepared. Maybe he should have started with Councilman first to at least get him prepared.
I totally agree with that. I just wish more of the educated, active, well spoken people would not forget to campaign at that level. Don’t say you represent the little guy when you don’t know who the little guy is.
The first line of your post, look the words right off the tip of my tongue. Okay, so he’s obviously good at “raising” $$$ but in his words he held “informal meetings”…not a whole lot of campaigning. And being that he was able to get a hold of a nice grip no matter (but n/r) the source shows he’s somewhat resourceful, but clearly he’s not exactly ideal for running the front lines. It could be (and seems) his “area of expertise” would be better served …in well… fundraising. And maybe he should roll in that lane for a while and gain a little more knowledge, not to mention a few courses in public speaking…heck, starting from the ground up and work on improving his language fluency and EFFECTIVE communication and developing more skill in how to articulate his thoughts/words better. The uncertainty in his voice was anything but reassuring. And in the present state of this economy, it would be foolish and quite damaging to knowingly “touch a hot iron” when the red light clearly shows – its hot. Why do ourselves such a disservice by halfazzin’ it? It looks to me as if he hasn’t done any of his homework or even as much prepared for either interview.
Just because a person has the ability to get up the funds to run for any political position doesn’t mean they should. Similar to saying just because I can open my mouth a talk doesn’t mean that its ALWAYS a good idea to exercise that privilege AND further make a fool out of myself. I know my lane, but its quite evident he doesn’t really know his.
I say just stick to shrimpin’, Bubba. At least you’re actually familiar with the business.
@Nomadere, i’m not saying that i don’t believe this, but even when asked how Alvin got the word out, he has not once mentioned any campaign meetings or anything short of fliers with his name on them. he’s never said he went to churches. hell he hasn’t mentioned a platform aside from his slogan, “let’s get south carolina back to work”. and let’s be real, visiting a bunch of local churches ain’t gonna snag you 60 percent of any vote if he went in there talking like he does in interviews. let’s be real about that.
he beat out a freakin’ judge for goodness’ sake. i dont know what happened and i’m not saying its not legit, but how it happened, that’s up for much debate and even ol Al Greene himself doesn’t have an answer.
“..i printed up a hundred or a thousand fliers…or something…”
@Pan, Jai, Butta
I’m betting he didn’t just visit a bunch of local churches, though. He did say he was all over the state (although “curiously few” people have heard of him). The friend of mine from SC goes to a mega-church that has somewhere around 10,000 members (he did say it was relatively close to where Al lives, though), if you’re hitting churches like that all over the state I could see how word can spread, especially when the church is the center of the community in a lot of small SC towns.
Now of course that doesn’t explain the brother’s lack of eloquence but it looks like he just gets nervous and clams up. He could be many times more persuasive when not put on the spot or when not around white people (the pastors of those churches might’ve carried that burden as well). I mean he does have a poli-sci degree from USC, so he must know something. Personally, I’m curious to see if he’ll clam up during the debate that he’s calling for.
Finally, I think the reason that many of us not involved in SC politics are so surprised about this is because the news channels are surprised, and I think the reason they’re surprised is because they simply aren’t tapped into the same network that rural (and most likely black) folk in SC are. Of course I’m not ruling out foul play and/or trickery, but if I were from SC I’d definitely be willing to at least see what he has to say. Some of us are sounding awfully elitist here just because silver didn’t fall off the man’s tongue when he opened his mouth. I mean, yeah, it did with Obama and many other politicians, but where has that gotten us (and/or ‘us’)? You can sound really smart and still half-ass sh*t.
I need more people on Alvin’s entire campaign. The local news media across the state had never heard of him. My family are hog butchering rural and no one and I mean not one of them have heard of this guy. On any give day of the week one my sisters is on the road from Denmark, Aiken, O-burg, Manning, Bamberg, and Allendale. All of these places are havens for black folks in South Carolina and she hasn’t heard jack squat. Something stinks in the state of Denmark and it’s Alvin Greene being elected.
“Now of course that doesn’t explain the brother’s lack of eloquence but it looks like he just gets nervous and clams up. He could be many times more persuasive when not put on the spot or when not around white people”
Sorry for Alvin but the job he is in the race for will put him in front of large bodies of white people. He went to Carolina (Yes they have the largest black population of any PWI but Carolina is a rather white place) and was an airman, and a soldier. If he doesn’t know how to talk inf front of, around, or near white people the floor of the United States Senate IS NOT the place to do it. Not in 2010.
“I mean he does have a poli-sci degree from USC, so he must know something”
Does he know something? I mean really, does he? He has an odd way of showing it. I’m going to own my elitism right now by saying that impressing a bunch of South Carolina church folk isn’t going to get you a senate primary victory (It helps) but considering he is the first black man to make it this far as a senate contender in this state since Reconstruction and that only worked because the U.S. Army was keeping all of our local domestic terrorists at bay.
Like DG said upthread people in SC don’t vote in primaries much. So if the population as a whole does this you can double that for black folks. Honestly, the only reason black folks voted in mass the last three times is because of Bush the ’06 mid-terms, and Barack. So yes, I’m claiming skullduggery on Alvin.
NomadaNare,
Finally, I think the reason that many of us not involved in SC politics are so surprised about this is because the news channels are surprised
Come on nah…let not get so tender about this.
First off, the media’s reaction has nothing to do with my personal opinion and perspective of the issue, since I proudly admit I’m not their #1 fan….just to put it on out there. So that’s irrelevant.
Secondly,
and I think the reason they’re surprised is because they simply aren’t tapped into the same network that rural (and most likely black) folk in SC are. Of course I’m not ruling out foul play and/or trickery, but if I were from SC I’d definitely be willing to at least see what he has to say.
… my initial reaction to both interviews mentioned upthread would have been the exact same even if Al Greene was Caucasian. I’m not in the business of pacifying also known as spoon-feeding anyone based on race or strictly “comin’ from where I from” mentality, so “you’d” already know what time it was with my own. Why we use this as some sort of scapegoat, I still do not understand. Specific criteria of a job interview is no different, so why should this be? (Let me guess….smh.) You’re expected to come out front with your A-game, be somewhat knowledgeable of the firm you wish to represent and able to articulate yourself in a professional manner. He had ample time for role play and strategy on how to handle nervousness and sweaty palms. Like I said, this would be no different (IMEyes) if dude were white as an open field of GA cotton…red, yellow or blurple. And being that he’s made visits to mega churches and such (as you pointed out), and being experienced and somewhat comfortable speaking before a congregation of people….well what’s the excuse for a one-on-one with ONE MAN? I realize he was asked a few difficult and touchy questions, but what did he expect? Someone with a criminal background at least has some idea of how to properly respond to previous illegal activities and no matter how impressed with their explanation and/or reasoning the targeted employer seems to be, STILL there is no guarantee. But at least the man (ex convict or not) came prepared…or should for that matter.
And lastly,
Some of us are sounding awfully elitist here just because silver didn’t fall off the man’s tongue when he opened his mouth. I mean, yeah, it did with Obama and many other politicians, but where has that gotten us (and/or ‘us’)? You can sound really smart and still half-ass sh*t.
This here^^^? ….I was actually waiting for this right here. I’m known to be the first one standing out front when it comes to acknowledging my background. Kuntry roots, educated fools and stuffreglah’blackfolk deal with on a day to day basis. However, anybody who’s somewhat familiar with politics should know how scrutinizing and relentless the profession can be. You will be judged. Unfair? Yes(but n/r). But it is a reality nonetheless. So I can only say to all of those who feel one’s personal opinion and view point of the guy is elitist???….get outcha’ feelins and dust yourself off and try again (#noaaliyah). Halfazz is halfazz, intelligent or not (at least we can agree on that one)….because I’m type who takes pride in admitting she’s a WholeAzz kind of girl.
…and besides, I will not even compare dude to BO…because at least the guy could at least hold a conversation that one could actually follow.
With that said, I think its better that we ultimately agree to disagree on this one and chill.
cosigning with you & Wu & I too, consider myself a WholeAzz kind of girl…BTW- my favorite term for today… & truth be told , bottom line, when you’re running for office, the least you should be able to do is string a whole sentence together, regardless of your color..and if he in truth & in fact graduated from USC speakin in that fashion, then perhaps their accreditation should be pulled, *seriously wth?

@SmartFoxGirl and bajanflchick,
I meant to tell you that I thoroughly enjoyed you all speaking patois yesterday. I love Caribbean folks.
* smiling …why thank you ComicBookGuy -I think I can speak for SFG and say “we love ya too bad too”
@CBG,
we love you right back.
yes i threw myself in the middle of your e-compliment. lol.
You know that you can throw yourself in there, too, because you know I’ve been to the T Dot, and I LOVE the women in the T DOT. Jamaican, Bajan, Trini, Haitian, Bahamian, it don’t matter. (If I missed anyone, charge it to my head, not my heart. lol)
oh yeah! lol. you coming to visit for caribana? all the 31 flavours of the west indies
Not this year. God I wish I could but I booked until after Labor Day. I got a lot of traveling to do this summer for the almighty dollar. I am not the lucky outside sales guy that covers Canada.
i hear ya. im very appreciative of the dollar almost being at par. SHOPPPPIINNNNGGGG!!!!!
*crip walks. lol.
Caribana and the west indian element ain’t going nowhere. Esp now that it’s run by people who have sense and bigtime sponsors (it’s officially Scotiabank Caribana). Brilliance. Nuff people were upset by it, but when it was run by we.. we ran it into the ground. (How do you make 900,000 and spend 840,000?????). So I’m fine with the committee. It’s safe. Its financially viable. It brought along other major sponsors (like Blackberry). It’s one of the biggest in the continent, and i’d like it to stay that way!!
It is so good to hear that Caribana is being sponsored like that. I really, really enjoyed myself when I went. Of course, seeing all of the beautiful women was a part of the reason why we went but I really did enjoy the culture that was involved. Being from Texas, seeing people with brown skin being so proud of their culture and families was something different for me. I knew of the makeup of Toronto anyway, but seeing it for myself was amazing. I never have and never will have anything bad to say about people from Canada, especially black people. You all made this Southern boy feel happy and welcomed during Caribana.
Ok, now I am sad that I can’t go this year. Oh well, I will just go to http://www.toronto-lime.com and check out the festivities from afar.
@ComicBookGuy & Keisha
I love Toronto. I got family there and right outside of TO. At one point in time I honestly felt I would find my wife there. Caribana is cool but it just isn’t the same. If you’ve never been you will love it but if you were there before 9/11 you know what I’m talking about.
@Humble_One,
Believe me, dude. I believe you. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a big difference in Caribana before 9/11 to now.
@ComicBookGuy
9/11 changed everything as far as crossing the border. I would go back and forth like it was nothing before it. By the way my homeboy as cheerleading Houston tough. I’m thinking about going there in September to avoid the heat.
@Humble_One,
Avoid the heat? In Houston? Hahahahahahahaha
Dude, it is like a furnace here right now, but it will be a bit cooler in September and you’ll have a good time. I’ll be around your way next week, crisscrossing the state.
@ComicBookGuy
Your job picked a terrible week to send you here. I would suggest we get some brews but I am all over the place next week.

I can’t do the oxtails, but I know a woman in Dallas that will call me the greatest son in the world if I brought her some home, even if I am her only son. I do like jerk, beef patties and plantains. Oh yeah, and Red Stripe Beer.
@CBG: lol @ toronto-lime. we could become e-friends and i’ll send you my pics. lol. i cannot guaranteed their ratings (pg vs xxx). the greatest part is seeing people happy and joyous. we can be a pretty salty city, so being out, having hun, limin and alll the random scandulousness that takes place all in 72 hrs is quite awesomeness.
@Humble_One: is it too late for you to find a wife in the tdot? #imjusaskin. lol. I was a late comer to the caribana show, so im not sure the vast difference between pre and post. But I can say that it is different, but alot safer. Plus y’all (amercians) can’t ball as much cuz the dollar is damn near par!! lol.
@Keisha Brown
Nah it’s not too late. I still have a very soft spot for the women there. If I am still in Detroit this fall I hope to start making runs up there on the regular like I use too.
@Humble_One
hmm…well then..how YOU doin???

i’m back in the DEE in Sept for the Eagles/Lions game. My last trip there was in March to visit a friend.
@Keisha Brown
You must have free tickets or something. The Lions are my favorite team. I use to have season tickets but I refuse to pay for a game again until they put out a decent product. You have people here? I wonder if you have had the same experiences as my cousins when they get approached by men here.
If I make it to TO you are going to have to tell me the spots to go to if my cousins aren’t available.
@Humble_One: LMAO! I wish i had free tix! just an opportunity to see the eagles up close!

consider this STOLEN!!!! LMAOOOOO!!!!
Yeah, um, well, I’m not exactly sure what I am supposed to be posting about here, but since I have some hate in my life, here goes.
SheHateMe – so, I hang out regularly over at Misadventures in Atlanta and have for the past six years. And after six years of participating, I don’t consider myself a relationship expert, however, I am comfortable calling myself a *relationship pundit*. I have an *online* persona that is pretty true to who I am in real life, so, I’m good with how I represent myself online. I have developed some relationships on the forum. Some of which remain online, some of which have transitioned past the virtual world into the real world. And I’m cool with that.
Well, as is often inevitable in situations where you espouse opinions regularly and interact with other personalities, conflicts arise (for whatever reason.) There is an individual that participates regularly in this forum that has taken issue with me. And while I am aware of the off-line reason for her online beef, I’m really stumped as to the venom (and vigor) with which this individual attempts to goad me into online arguments by consistently making indirect digs at me, if not attacking me outright, I am confused by the fact that they won’t let this sht go. I’m truly stumped.
Most often, I put this individual on a visual mute button and refuse to read anything posted with that screen name and I certainly don’t respond to the foolishness and ugliness fueled by keyboard courage – unless it gets so pointed that I have no choice. I would be totally content to allow this person to ignore me and not engage me in the same way that I am treating the situation. (Attempting to be the bigger person.)
It’s getting to the point where I coming to enjoy interacting on the site less and less. And perhaps what sticks in my craw (yeah, I’m country) more than anything is the fact that this individual, who I have only laid eyes on in real-world once in my life for about an hour, whose government name I can’t remember and probably couldn’t pick out of a line-up, is making my six year daily online virtual chill time an issue that bothers me in real life.
Yeah – SheHateMe – vehemently. And really, I wish she would just drop it. It ain’t that deep.
Oh…and to post something that is actually related to anything that Panama wrote:

A Public Service Announcement to everyone at Blogging While Brown: Kat Stacks is in DC this weekend. (Yes, I follow her ratchet Twitter feed.) Be sure to spray yourself down in Lysol and pop some penicillin before leaving the hotel. I wouldn’t breathe the air if I were you. This is the end of the emergency broadcast system.
I was just checking out your blog…Smokahontas…..WTF LOL
@Jai – thanks for checking it out!
Seattle Police – Although I do not advocate violence and police brutality, I have to echo some of the previous sentiments regarding this matter. Perhaps the officer didn’t have to ‘Kimbo Slice’ her forehead,
but a simple ‘Jimmy Fly Snucka’ drop kick to the chest plate may have appeared less harshhowever, both young women’s physical aggression didn’t leave much room for a more diplomatic resolution.Alvin Green – Is it me, or does this situation seem highly bizzarre? Any individual holding public office (plant or otherwise) requires some level of education, intellect, public speaking skills, etc. since one would be in a highly visible position. Alvin Green is the complete polar opposite of this in EVERY way. With that said, this should be a reason for serious public concern, and not for what you may presume.
Everyone(incldng media) is obsessed with Mr. Green, but no one has stopped to ask why plant an individual so absurdly & comically unqualified for this position esp when he can be immediately sniffed out for his blatant short comings. Another less dubious individual could have been utilized as a plant, but instead they chose an obvious sore thumb. Why?
Misdirected focus.
The ridiculousness and absurd nature of this is,… well,…needed……To garner public and media attention, which to me indicates that this has to be some form of a diversionary tactic. Something sinister is definitely afoot.
Stranger than fiction indeed.
Where you gonna be during Blogging While Brown? I was there for this morning’s FAB beginner’s bootcamp; I’m returning tomorrow (I’m local and not messin’ with DC during rush hour on a Friday). I will lurk; however, know that I want to see a blogger and admire from afar the blogger of my newest addiction VSB!

There was a basketball game the other night? Really? I thought basketball season ended back in April, lol. All I saw was two groups of people I can’t stand throwing a ball towards a basket.
Peace, Love and Chocolate

Like you, I was caught up watching the game. But that Seattle Cop…
