Even tho’ these New Balance were made in the U.S.A. I’ma still call them my ‘Union Jack 996s’. I’m shamelessly hyping myself up for the upcoming Captain America flick. I should be at the new X-Men movie while you are reading this drop.

I am so on my New Balance kick right now. I just need someone to help me find these in a men’s size 12.

KanYe’s Officially A Monster…

What is KanYe West if not a magnet for controversy. Pop music’s prolific agent provocateur finally unleashes the video to his monster smash ‘Monster’.

I’m still complaining that the last artist vignette wasn’t Nicki Minaj beating the crap out of a Lil’ Kim look-a-like. That would have been really controversial.

The X-Factor…

Sunday, June 5th, 2011

I always enjoyed the X-Men books because they were posited as the ‘other’ when humanity was considered. They weren’t considered more advanced, but different and even somewhat defective. Mutantkind was something more akin to people with Down’s Syndrome who might could fly or shoot shit from their eyes. They were feared and persecuted by normal humans and strangely enough I could relate to being the ‘other’ my damn self.

I thought the X-Men was a sort of parable for society’s marginalization of the people who were different from the norm. I’m starting to feel like maybe I had it wrong all this time. Could the X-Men just be like most of the science fiction media I have grown up with that removes the colored folks from the futurescape? I’ve been peeping some of the screenshots from the latest X-Men theatrical feature and it looks like Blacks can’t even be mutants now.

Okay, I’m not gonna ruin my enjoyment of these books from childhood by putting my grownup mind’s concerns on these stories. I love anything X-Men and this includes the movie industry retconning my favorite characters to sell some more tickets or add some new members to the audience. At least Magneto retains his bad ass status.

Guatemala Pays High Price For Global Food System Failings

The ICs are plotting a film that looks at the agricultural industrial complex here in America. The fast rising price of food is a cause for our concern. It won’t be too long where the wealthy America is the land of the impoverished and the malnourished.

I just hope we won’t need to wear bulletproof vests to finish our movie.
