I got an invite from Chocolate Snowflake to accompany her tomorrow to this book reading @ Pacific Standard in downtown Brooklyn.

Digging For Dirt: The Life and Death of Ol’ Dirty Bastard

It’s free and Pac-Stan has some of the best beers on tap anywhere. I’ll be double-fisting the Tröegs Mad Elf.

Later on I am supposed to attend the Microsoft apparel launch at Skyline studios, but that shit might be so glam that a nigga don’t even get to sniff the indoors of that spot. I need my girl PIPER CARTER to be holding down the list at the door.

Sheeeeeeit. I’ma go where I know I will get in even if it got no obama.

The Legacy Of G DUBBZ?

December 2nd, 2008

As the new year approaches and the president-elect fills his administration with a collective of Beltway veterans that will insure the fruit doesn’t fall too far from the money tree I wondered what might be the legacy that G DUBBZ leaves the White House with?

Many people will call him the dumbest president of all time. I’m sure this isn’t the truth. G DUBBZ may have been a better overall actor than even BILL CLINTON. Dumb presidents don’t get re-elected. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice and I’m the dummy. Someone needs to give credit to this man for making at least half of this country believe the words that came from his mouth.

In eight years G DUBBZ managed to lift the veil of American civilian dominance from all over the globe. The tragedy of 9-11. The dual wars in Afghanistan and Iraq which ultimately produced bumper crops in opium and oil production. The failed emergency responses during Hurricane(s) Katrina and Ike. The erosion of our constitutional freedoms and the catastrophic collapse of our currency.

With all of these things to weigh down his record the biggest thing that I see is the privatization of our armed forces. This is the symbolic pathway to the destruction of our nation. We are fast moving away from an army that serves the American flag to a confederation of private contractors like BlackWater and Halliburton who have no national allegiance. This was put in motion two decades ago under the line-item theme of budget cutting.

The accountability in the Pentagon became less but the billion dollar contractor invoices increased exponentially. Do you know who set this shit in motion. The former Secretary of Defense under GEORGE BUSH Sr. and current Vice President under G DUBBZ – DICK CHENEY. These men engineered the takeover of this country and no one even knew what the fuck happened until they were on the Dreadnought headed to Coruscant.

I still had fun complaining through these eight years and I will miss these greedy fools for at least the fact that I won’t get to post these images any longer. C’est la vie.

ALL DAY I DREAM ABOUT SANTA…

santa baby

I might could use a pair of 3 Stripes to round out my holiday treats.

Here’s some of the styles what put that twinkle in my eye…

z600 c-law

Z600 C-Law
These joints represent yardboys better than any Jamiaca colorways I have seen before. Some nice suede on the upper and the contrast stitching makes these shoes pop.

laver leather

Rod Laver Lo’s
Again, adidas puts the shoe in tennis shoes. Leather accents, tweeded wool upper. Class all the way. These joints are smoothed the eff out.

sl72 olympics

SL72 Olympics
Your boy BLU CHEEZ has his eyes on these.

decade lo

Decade Lo’s
Right now I am in love with these Decade Lo’s. Real clean and simple design. Sueded toe guard. Contrast stitching on the ankle panel. Navy blue accents. All business, no games. Santa, hook your boy up.

Militarize ‘Dem Yout…

December 1st, 2008

nerf gun

Have you noticed that more children’s toys have been focusing on guns and other military related items? I mean more than usual? I think this works on parents and children on different psychological levels.

Parents typically see Nerf guns and G.I. Joe as benign toys with no ulterior motives. People identify Nerf products as soft and harmless sponge toys, while G.I. Joe has been an American toy staple for over four decades. G.I. Joe also has other media that supports the sale of the merchandise.

I feel like military themed toys promote the idea of military service in children as well as a level of familiarity with the industrial apparatus that the military accesses (vehicles, firearms, jargon, etc.).

This may not end up being such a bad thing if our economy takes too long to rebound. The only work may very well be in the army and the other paramilitary units that will be responsible for maintaining the order here in the States when Wal-Mart shoppers go berserk.

Addendum: Holy shit! The revolution has begun as workers in China start riot at, of all places, the Nerf toy factory.

The Metaphor In Real LIfe…

December 1st, 2008

plax

Of shooting oneself in the foot, except this meatball couldn’t even get that part correct. PLAXICO BURRESS went from having a screw loose to becoming a loose cannon, literally. The metaphor in real life.

BURRESS hasn’t really been a part of the team this season as the Giants defend their ‘Any Given Sunday’ Super Bowl victory. Dude was hanging out at a nightclub while on the injured list. I think we can all see where his head is at right now. This dude might be fucking around with DWIGHT GOODEN’s white pudding if you know what I mean? ANTONIO PIERCE also. PIERCE tried to hide PLAXICO’s gun after the incident. WTF is wrong with these foolios?

The NFL should suspend both of these meatwads. PLAXICO for carrying an unlicensed biscuit and PIERCE for absconding with said biscuit. When did the NFL become the Association? Sure RAY LEWIS merc’ked some fools a few years back, then there was that dude from the Broncos who got popped in a Denver ‘hood, and yes SEAN TAYLOR was killed by a gunshot to the leg, but when did the NFL become so enveloped with gunplay?

Notice I conveniently left out Pac Man Jones who shot up a club in Vegas after making it rain and watching people pick up the raindrops. Now that Pac Man is playing for the Cowboys I need his ass to stay on the field and out of the clink. But the Giants, they can burn in hell. Except for crazy ass LAWRENCE TAYLOR. That’s my nigga right there.
