H-C-R We There Yet

October 28, 2009 2 comments

I have really been slacking when it comes to the healthcare debate. I have grown so apathetic towards Capital Hill, it’s not even funny. The 24 hour cable news channels are definitely to blame. YES, even you CNN. They scramble so hard to find ‘the newest, latest exclusive breaking news, it becomes micro-editing and narrow repetitive reporting. A watched pot never boilers; you can’t expect much change in a story if you follow it on an hourly basis. It’s like a soap opera: don’t watch for two months, Luke and Laura are still arguing, Olympia Snowe’s still playing hard-to-get and Lieberman’s still playing the field. I need to take a giant step back and from the news fodder. I’m waiting debate to really hit the floor. I’m waiting for something to actually get passed. (In the meantime, it’s fake names at the ER and over-the-counter medicine.)

I have noticed so many instances of chicks turning gay after having one kid. I guess they feel accomplished after they do their “womanly duty” at least once. I wonder if these girls were always gay or if these sly “studs” just bagged them up at the exact perfect time. When you see the typical black or spanish lesbian couple on the train, in the city, its always the same combination: a thugged-out, rough Rasheeda/Bertha looking broad (cologne, boxers, armpit hair, the whole nine yards) then the other chick has her hair, nails, eyebrows done, <extra much> looking like Tammy Faye Baker’s ethnic niece. I know opposites attract, but damn. They’re so far apart on the female spectrum, it is a litte like to different genders.
I guess those females with kids came to the realization that their “baby daddy aint doing shit for [me] anyway, [I] might as well get wit a broad” That’s sexy on video, until your ‘shorty’ takes your last tampon or the velcro on the strappy fails. Ladies: good luck with all that, the only thing worst for y’all than a no-good mate is a no-good mate that can’t even lay the pipe right. And fellas beware, like  Alice said on The L Word, “..all girs are straight…until they’re not.” So hold on to them chicks, Rasheeda and then are call AGs for a reason (Argessive.) She’ll bag your girl and have your kid calling her daddy-EARLY. 

Random NYC Tip.3 (Crowds)

It might sound crazy or antiquated, but the best when you’re in a rush the best way to get through a crowd is to walk directly into oncoming [pedestrian] traffic. Those not from the city might be picturing themselves getting trampled right about now, but it’s nothing like that. Think about it, how is the person in front of you going to know you want to get ahead: they can’t see you. So you spend countless seconds walking like you’re in Downtown Beijing, stepping on people’s heels when you could’ve been where you were going already. “Wait” is truly a four-letter word here, we can’t do it. The New York , New Yorker walks into the oncoming lane of people and knowing how ‘real recognizes real,’ everyone moves accordingly…the not-so-natives freeze up like deers in headlight and that’s where the trampling imagery comes from.

International Artist Of The Week – M.I.A.

October 28, 2009 2 comments

I’m pretty sure that everyone’s familiar with M.I.A. now aka “Missing In Acton” aka Maya Arulpragasam. Everyone knows “Paper Planes”, the song went viral, whether it was from the Pineapple Express promos or her Grammy appearance at nine months pregnant. Where were y’all three, four years ago around the time of Arular, Bucky Done Gun Sunshowers and Galang. Even before that, the EP, Piracy Funds Terrorism. Those two albums are a lot the same, Arular is like the refined version of PFT. Part of the reason Americans were so clueless about M.I.A. Fame for so long is because Bush and his Bushiness- damn douche. The previous administration refused to grant her a Visa to enter the country saying that her father, Arul Pragasam, was on the Terrorist Watchlist for associating with Sri Lanka’s Tamil Tigers decades before. Lame, I know. M.I.A.’s second studio album, Kala, was supposed to be predominantly produced by Timbaland, unfortunately they were only able to collaborate on one song.

This is definitely not the last M.I.A. post, it’s so serious, I’m not even a fan anymore, I’m a “devotee,” the title should read “International Artist Of The Millennium.” Now the M.I.A. lives in Bk, I consider her a New Yorker as well, that’s where the Paper Planes video was shot.
