some women, when sizing up men, will look at their fingernails to see if they are trimmed.
untrimmed nails, can cause cuts and therefore uti’s
so make sure yr nails are trimmed gentlemen
some people are excellent conversationalists even upon first real meeting
some people think somethings wrong if a little pretty white girl
runs to a black man’s arms
The French Dip: a tale from Los Angeles from Joris Debeij on Vimeo.
as it was the last time they won the World Series.
it was also the time LA invented the French Dip sandwich.
the debate here is who invented it, Philippe’s or Coles.
I always thought it was Philippe’s but after seeing this video I’m leaning to Coles.
I will say this though, I like Cole’s better, and it’s a more romantico locale
But Philippe’s is perfect right before or after a Dodger day game.
first she has to go through a crazy trial
then she has to go to jail
then when she gets out of jail shes gotta deal with these questions.
on a stage, in front of cameras.
she handled herself way better than i ever could have.
good thing i dont have a child ready to get borned real soon cuz id name it

now some of my people cringe when they see some of my people, lets say, being so colorful
and soulful like the hide your kids guy
or Sweet “Aint Nobody Got Time for That” Brown
or Michelle “Kabooyao” Clark.
they’re worried that it suggests black folks are only interesting if they’re acting cray.
“It’s difficult to watch these videos and not sense that their popularity has something to do with a persistent, if unconscious, desire to see black people perform,” Slate’s Aisha Harris writes.
i totally understand her concern but here’s my belief.
i believe that we’re here on this weird crust for a blink of an eye.
and as an aspiring storyteller, if one day i am blessed with the opportunity to tell an interesting story
and i can do it in such a unique way that people are compelled to autotune it and love it
for whatever reason
then mission accomplished.
thank God babies and kittens and michael jordan and angus young and sunsets and Wrigley Field are not afraid of allowing themselves to really be themselves and not some watered down
“normal”
half assed version of themselves.
thank God they let us love them for who they are for being confident in who they are.
like my man Kai, the homeless hero
Ruslan Tsarni the uncle of the two suspected Boston Bombers
even Connecticut Chief Medical Examiner H. Wayne Carver
as a journalist don’t you prefer when people keep it real even when the cameras are rolling? i do.
just as a person i prefer that.
isn’t life difficult enough trying to figure if people are being 100% genuine and forthright with you?
why suggest to some that they have to anglicize their speech, actions, and behaviors
so that it makes you feel more comfortable?
to quote a white rapper, “you think im gonna change my style just to fit in?”
and even before he said that The Untouchables recommended that we free ourselves. and i agree
recently in Chattanooga, Tennessee a bunch of rich high schoolers at a private school
were popped for underage drinking
one young lady either has a lawyer for a parent
or is stoked to finally get her picture in the paper.
maybe it’s good that i’m not a parent because even though i’d be sad if my kid was arrested
i’d be stoked that they were all, is that all you got on me copper?
anyways, i’d like to see a debate from local papers as to how they’d have dealt with this story.
seems unnecessary to me, but i’d like to hear from the Times Free Press as to why this made their pages.

matt drudge has made so much money off headlines that link to stories that he buys houses with cash.
he bristles when you call him a blogger, and i think most bloggers do too
because most people dont think that just providing links and headlines is blogging.
whatever he’s doing, he’s doing it wrong today because currently he has a huge headline that says NOW COMES PLAGUE
with a picture of a creepy looking flying bug of some sort.
the headline is so odd that it sounds like Drudge himself may be in the throes of the plague
BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH HE HAS UNLIMITED SPACE ON HIS WEBSITE HE WILL NOT EXPLAIN ANY FURTHER
so you click the link and whoa, apparently billions of cicadas are fixin to party on the East Coast
They’ve even named it Brood II!
but in the second graph the reporter actually brings the science:
But as ominous as that sounds, the insects are harmless. They won’t hurt you or other animals. At worst, they might damage a few saplings or young shrubs. Mostly they will blanket certain pockets of the region, though lots of people won’t ever see them.
which makes you think, WTF matt drudge?
how does your weird OMG PLAGUE hed help people respect or trust you in the future?
and if the plan for the site is to exaggerate in science and nature as much as it does with politics
why would someone like LA Mayoral candidate Eric Garcetti want his ad on that page?
maybe i’m missing something.
while driving home up La Brea from my dentist this morning I passed by my favorite corner junk yard
and i saw what appeared to be the the sign from Lemmy’s favorite bar, The Rainbow
so i did a u-turn, took a picture, and put it on my social media and then drove north by northwest to the Sunset Strip to investigate!
and Lo, the Rainbow sign is perfectly in tack. So what gives?
According to Joaquin Reyna-Donaldson, co-owner of Echo Park’s Little Joy Cocktails, the sign for sale is a Hollywood prop!
Joaquin says, “that’s from shitty film Rock of Ages. not the real bar. i looked into it.”
and looking at the very beginning of this scene (to the left), yep there it is
crisis averted
had to go to the dentist today because i need to get the xbi tracking device out of my molar
dont ask me why they had to make it look like i had the yellowest teeth in the world, but maybe that helps them in some way
whatevs, now i never need to stress out on taking a bad picture because nothing is worse than this
happy monday!
to cleanse your pallet, heres the best image that was on TV yesterday from the bleachers at Wrigley
happy cinco de mayo!
you never know where your next opportunity may come from
