Gotta Be the Illest Brother to Claim Respect...

It takes the illest brother just to get respect

By now you must have heard (if not check out the video before proceeding dummy!) the news about Senator of Illinois Barrack Obama taking steps to run for President of the United States in 2008.

Now I don't want to get into the whole controversial portion of his action, talk about his odds, potentials or anything every newspaper, blogs, expert, pundits might have brought up. For one I'm no Political Scientist or even an eligible voter.

What I do want to talk about is how crazy/ill (do the kids still talk like that?) this dude has gotta be to run. Not yellow bus crazy/ill but "You got the juice now" crazy/ill. The kind of crazy/ill that lets you lead a gang.

Why? Because he's going after a job that is doomed to failure which is cleaning up and digging the US out of the hole created by George W. Bush. So much that I'm willing to bet the only reason a woman and a black man would be crazy enough to go after the Presidency now is cause everyone else (who would usually beat them) backed out on some "Fuck that! I just wanted to ride on the Air Force One and pick up chicks!" shit. I mean can just imagine all the work the new president will have on its plate.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he shouldn't run. I'm just saying, when I look at what he's up against through the lens of my comfort zone I'm like damn! That and impressed at the challenges he's willing to take on. So much that that he's got me thinking like Outkast "You Got to Get Up Get Out and Do Something".

All this to say, Good Luck Mister Obama. In my eyes you've won even before the gun went off.

In honnor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day

I decided to post two of my favorite Martin Luther King speeches cause I didn't have time to think of something more creative...





Ok the Boondocks version might not be historically accurate but I'm sure Brotha King would have said the same thing if he lived today.

New template! Gave Up the Pink One!

Trying out this new template - shoutout to it's creator Douglas Bowman (whoever you are). I figured I try something different to celebrate my 32 years on this planet. Oh right, I forgot to mention last Tuesday was my B-Day. Shoutouts to all you Capricorns!

A Much Needed Verbal Ass Whooping...

I'm just glad he's not talking about me.

Man! F*ck iPhone!

Yeah said it!

By the sound of things, a good portion of this day was spent by bloggers praising yesterday's presentation of the iPhone.

Here is a link to an article: http://business.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,9075-2540804,00.html

Being that I ain't one to follow the crowd and also the type to do whatever I gotta do to preserve my uniqueness (even at the trade in value of my sanity) I figured I'd write a blog where I'd hate on this new toy.

Don't get me wrong, from what I've read...ok more like heard from friends, relatives and co-workers today, this device might be the next best thing since cooked crack (just sayin'). Word on the street is by the time Steve Job got to his 3rd presentation slide of this gadget, the makers of the Treo's and the Blackberry's stock value started to slide.

Coming back to my F*ck the iPhone topic, of course no idea is unique. Here's another blog with the same thought as me...Only difference is you'll find some solid arguments against it. So solid that I'm actually considering controlling my impulse to free up some space on the credit card and pre-purchase it...

Here's the hating ass blog article: http://arstechnica.com/journals/apple.ars/2007/1/10/6559

Any thoughts?

Let me know if this did not make you laugh...

I swear this shit is crazy contagious! lol

Happy New Years Everybody!
