4 2 GO FTW…

Sunday, March 29th, 2009

ncaa

The DP.com Final 4 pool also known as ‘Raekwon The Krzyzewski’ rolls on.

The Big East goes in with two of the final spots and the ACC and the Big 10 each have a representative. When I use Yahoo’s Scenario Generator I can see that there are still several poolers still in the running for the top spot.

The final four for the Final 4 pool are…

The Windex Kid
St. Ides’ Prep School
Gimme Mine
Oliver Wrist

The Windex Kid wins our weekly t-shirt giveaway by scoring 56pts total in the 3rd and 4th rounds.

College basketball is on the precipice of irrelevance. There is a 13yr old blue chip prospect about to declare himself eligible for the professional basketball draft. This kid is no Dontrevius Wenters either. He’s even got his own clothing company.

ALLONZO TRIER is his name and he is the future of basketball.

In Search Of… Asher Roth

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

asher bigfoot

Some of you may think I have lost my mind after you read this drop. In one week I have gone from co-signing Rick Ross to Asher Roth. Clearly, they are two of the most polarizing figures in rap music today.

Everyone hates Rick Ross because he lied about being a correction officer, not because he lied about being a drug dealer.

Everyone hates Asher Roth because he told the truth about having Frat Boy Blues. Was Asher Roth supposed to be a killer, or a street dude?

This summer, Asher Roth will be THAT dude. Why? Because those dudes that still buy CD’s will be copping his shit. Why? Because you can play that shit in your cabriolet while chillin’ by the beach. You can play this shit at a coolout bar-b-cue, or by a poolside, or at a picnic.

I still haven’t found Asher Roth but I heard his new album and I fux with it.

Twitter Gets You Fired…

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

twiiter trumps

Digital social networks are still somewhat of a mystery to the world at large. Some folks in my old neighborhood have been signing up to a Ning site which connects all the folks that grew up in Corona Queens next to Shea Stadium. I have been a little leery to join in the fun since these are cats that NEVER used computers before. They weren’t even MySpace users. So that lets you know how far behind these folks are.

The current darling of digital social networking is Twitter. It’s so popular that FaceBook redesigned their pages to imitate the Twitter profiles. Twitter is what the internets were created for. Experts speak freely with people that are passionate about those same subjects. There are a few skirmishes but the discourse is generally positive, or at least it is congenial. The mainstream media’s response to twitter has been to provoke fear in the free exchange of ideas.

Twitter gets you fired in 140 characters or less

No one gets fired for the shit they do on a computer*.

* provided you aren’t doing any kiddie pr0n bullshit

People get fired for the shit they do OFF the computer.

Here’s Why You Should Make A Ho A Housewife…

sexy maid

MSN.com just confirmed what most of already knew…

That prostitution is essentially recession proof.

After the nuclear holocaust the only thing that will remain will be the cockroaches. And the hooker cockroaches.

The only bad thing about the recession is the aspect that hookers have to turn more tricks to come up on the same number of stacks. So instead of a JULIA ROBERTS coming up on a RICHARD GERE to help her get out of the game she ends up with a GARY BUSEY, then a MICKEY ROURKE, then a WESLEY SNIPES, she hooks up with an ANNE HECHE, but then she claims it was her one and only time and she didn’t even like it.

If money were the only thing that mattered I suppose we would all be prostitutes of some sort.

The War On The Poor Continues…

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

lovelle mixon

I’m not going to co-sign or explain away LOVELLE MIXON’s deadly actions this past weekend. I can’t acquit him of the reprehensible act of killing people because he was afraid of returning to prison. However, MIXON’s fate was struck many years before this incident. Before he was even sentenced to prison the first time he was already placed on this path. We are lucky that MIXON had only killed these four people.

More people will die though. More criminals like LOVELLE MIXON. More police officers like the four this past weekend. And even more innocent victims like OSCAR GRANT. This is America’s war on poor people and we have a whole lot more poor folks to expend so I suggest all you mourners visit the botanica and buy the extra big candles because the shit hasn’t even touched the fan.

What no one will discuss though is the high rate of recidivism that American ex-convicts experience. The highest rate of all developed countries.

* chants We’re number #1!*

No, not really a reason for celebration. The prison industrial complex is keeping the maid in ‘Made In America’. The only place that the social and technical skills learned in prison are valuable is regrettably, in prison. Now what if prison labor was the only thing that could save the United States economy?
