In South Africa they now have equiped ATM's with pepper spray to attack robbers. Phew that's close. I thought they were going to use the pepper spray to attack people who repeatedly overdraft on their accounts. If that's the case I would have been blind years ago, feel me?
I have made several posts about idiotic people being inspired by one of the ultimate 'guy flicks' which I am also a fan of "Fight Club". This time a 17 year old kid tried to copycat "Project Mayhem" and he saw Starbucks as a corporate symbol and decided to blow it up memorial day weekend. Right because if you destroy 1 Starbucks corporate america will come to a screeching halt. News flash: corporate america has fubar'd for a while now. For people to be inspired by a movie and try to immulate it is foolish, especially since it didnt turn out to great. Hardbody, yes. Great in terms of quality of life? Not so much.
Contact Lenses for Animals. Ummm I really dont have any comments on this story.Animals get cataracts so some firm in some foreign country decided to make contacts for animals. I would suggest the animals take the 'snoop dogg approach' for their cataracts...wait that's for glaucoma, whatever.All joking aside it seems like a pretty neat idea. I wonder if animal contacts will be just as irritating as human contact lenses. Paging Ben Stein.
Usually I do posts like these on my twitter but I wanted to 'splain this in further detail. Today's song is Deftones' "Back to School". You know at certain points in your life when you see something or hear a song and at the time you dont know just how much it impacts your life. Well this song did that for me. I did not even realize this till this morning whilst driving to work and having the iPood on shuffle and thinking about when I first heard this song. It was 10th grade so...2000 and I was really 'accepting' myself. That meaning I was a black kid from the 'hood' who was into rock music, and different than a lot of her peers. So I constantly constantly listened to 96X (which is an alternative rock station, a station I admired as a teen, ironically enough I work at the company that owns the station and it sucks now, definitely what it used to be, a sad affair really.)This song came on and I think my head exploded. Now this is not the Deftones' best song, but it is a good song off of their best album White Pony. A little while after that my girl Shelainey gave me a copy of the album, she bought another cause the copy she had did not have "Back to School" on it, go figure. But yeah I just wanted to share that. Your Welcome. PS CHI update. As you may or may not know the bassist Chi was in a car crash and fell into a coma in November, on the website One Love for Chi it is said that is in a semi-concious state, not exactly out of the coma but out of the coma at the same time, make sure you go over to the site for updates.
This picture reminds me of Waynehead So something has always erked me but yesterday really had me not fuming but annoyed. This is about T.I. and him being in jail. Yesterday his new video for "Remember Me" magically appeared on the internets and the TVs. What annoys me is the fact that he is going to jail for one year and a day and he is shoving every second of it down our throats. Now I do have to commend him. In the ADD generation we have these days a recording artist can be hot today and forgot about next week. So I can see that he is trying to keep his name in peoples thoughts and mouths.And I also admire the community service that he did before him going in. However to me its getting to the point where its annoying. Just because you wanted to purchase friggin torpedos in a walgreens parking lot doesnt mean we have to suffer for it with you IMO. Then I started thinking about all the other rap artist that went to jail far longer for far worse offenses. Remy Ma got like what 8-10 yrs Shyne got 10 (is he out yet?) C-Murder, Mystical, etc. Maybe they didnt make albums or songs about their situations because A)they were more concerned about what they were facing or B)they are not smart business people. Eh, time will tell.
