Time To Stop Playing Around…

I woke up today in an Ohio Players type mood.

Yeah I feel a little freaky [ll], but mostly I feel like getting after my dreams.

We’ve squeezed off one-third of 2009 already, so if I’m gonna take over this year I had better get my ass in gear.

Giving Bankers A Good Name…

May 3rd, 2009

Swine flu is what we should call the federal government’s bank bailout program.

There are trillions of dollars being allocated for the banking system and none of this money is intended to service the consumers of these institutions. Lending has all but dried up and interest rates on deposits have not moved an inch, but the interest rates on credit cards are steadily marching skywards.

Keep in mind that these so-called lenders are getting these Fed loans at zero percent. I am imploring you all to keep an eye on the fine print because that is how these banks will attempt their legal mugging of our wallets…

  • Out of network bank ATM fees – That is how I always get slaughtered on the low. Bank of America charges me $3 at the machine and Chase hits me in the head for $1.50 on my statement. That’s $4.50 for a $40 withdrawl. Lucky for me I had $45 in my account.
  • Balance transfer fees – I used to try to skip around and put my card balances on cards with lower interest rates, but now the transfer fees are negating what saving that might have given me. $100-$150 is now the going rate.
  • Foreign exchange fees – When you use your cards in foreign lands you ever wonder what that monster chunk of money was that got pulled from your account? Check cashing stores don’t put their hands on your money as much as credit card issuing banks do.
  • Cash advances – This is something I hope you never, ever have to do. The cash advance is clearly what was described in Revelations as the mark of the beast. All bets are off for the interest rates on these things.
  • With all the pigs who administrate the banking system I would rather take my chances on avoiding Swine Flu from tainted dollar bills. Either way they have me coming and going.

    Cash Flu’s Everything Around Me…

    Can you believe that your credit cards could be saving you from being part of the swine flu pandemic? As we tumble faster towards a cashless economy the biggest endorsement comes from the supremacist daily a/k/a the New York Times on why cash is huge transporter for flu germs and other microbiotic pathogens.

    Catching Flu From Money

    This is the Smart Money article that the NYTimes story uses as its lead in. In truth, its really only us poor people that handle cash. Middle class folks and the rich are already firmly embedded with the mark of the beast. My Washington Mutual debit card even has a 666 sequence in the 12 digit card number. I would embrace the mark of the beast my damn self if it could make my debts disappear.

    The problem with cash is that it isn’t a totally efficient system for tracking the economy in real time. This is why we will have to move away from it. The masters of our fates will want to know shit like where we are and what we are spending our money on. GPS tracking devices in our cell phones and our debit cards will triangulate our movements the same way radio transmitters tell oceanographers where the dolphins are.

    If you think you can get off the grid you are sorely mistaken. Embrace your fates party people and the good news is that you may very well hasten the Rapture.

    BARNES was a former NFL lineman whose passion was for painting. I love this piece above for all the emotion and movement he described in the bodies.

    BARNES was also the consummate humanist. BARNES said that he never painted any subjects with their eyes open because, “We don’t ever see each other, we are blind to each other’s humanity.”

    SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

    Tomorrow is the first Saturday of the month. This typically means I hold it down in the Brooklyn Museum of Art for their Target 1st Saturdays program. The music has been so shitty lately that I haven’t bothered going to the museum. They are playing the movie ‘Pee Wee’s Big Adventure’ though so I may walk across the street just to watch that.

    Speaking of a big adventure, who walks in Brooklyn?

    Buckshot Shorty, he sounds like an automatic…

    The new Brooklyn dad. He looks like Combat Jack.

    I was thinking about have a Sneaker Fiends Unite! NYC tour, but not unless we have more than five (5) people.

    Sheeeeeit, I can always go sneaker shopping by my lonesome.

    Dunk premiums are on sale right now. The pricepoints range from $40 to $60, but if we put our paper together we can negotiate some serious deals.

    I just caught these Tampa Skate Park SB’s for $60 after I put on my super haggle steez of show an go. Show your money and then act like you are going to walk out of the store. Cash rules everything around us and that is how deals are made.

    By a show of hands let me know if you are trying to make the rounds tomorrow.
