My TWitter timeline didn’t really give a shit about Louisiana last night.
All I know is people living on the coast better bring the pails to the beach so they can rack up on some loosy crude.
You know you can make plastics from that shit? Word to George Carlin.
Listening to all of this emo rap reminds me that I need to…

Thanks for giving us all of that great music along with this jazzy tune that the internets turned into a great meme.

Celebrate the life and artistic legacy of Roy DeCarava…
C.S.’s father was an accomplished artist who was supremely and fiercely principled. Because of this he would eschew much of the acclaim that other less courageous artists would accept for themselves. DeCarava demanded that he be viewed as an artist, without qualification as an African American artist, or street artist, or a documentarian.
He took his camera everywhere he went. He lived and raised his family in Bed Stuy, but was born and raised uptown in Harlem. The art world tried to marginalize him because so many of his early subjects were the residents of the neighborhoods where he lived and worked. He knew that this made his subjects and his art no less great, even as the T.I.’s tried to say otherwise.
I’m proud to say that I was a fan of Roy DeCarava’s photographs decades before I had met him. In real life he was as compelling as the images he crafted. Speaking truth to power and expressing the beauty of it all, DeCarava is in a large part the inspiration for why I do what I do.

David Wright is officially a bum right now. His batting average and power rankings are totally in the shitter. What happened to a dude who was supposed to be one of the National League’s All-Stars on the level of Albert Pujols and Ryan Howard?
Late last season Wright took one to the dome in a home game versus the Giants. Ever since then Wright hasn’t been the same batter. This was confirmed on ESPN’s Baseball Tonight. Wright’s average hasn’t dropped to the Mendoza Line, but he is well under .250 and that is no place for a franchise player.
I have a feeling that David Wright is a nice guy but he is destined to finish last in the all-time Metropolitans ballot. No one ever really gets back in the swing of things after being concussed. I went to the stadium Sunday night and watched Wright fail to plate runners ISP in two separate innings.
That’s when I knew that the Mets needed to start looking to replace their third baseman.
