How to survive a zombie apocalypse...

1. Keep tons of non-perishable food in your house.

2. Get out an exercise. If you can't run at least a mile at a good pace you're getting left behind. I'm not going to stop to help you if you're not needed. Children and elderly can get left too.

3. Get out of the city. If you're in NY or somewhere like that, you're screwed.

4. In the event of a zombie apocalypse, would you drive 20 minutes across town to find your loved ones? Heck no. Granny is as good as dead and if you're dumb enough to go try to save her, don't take any of my ammo. It's going to be wasted. Lock the door before you go please. Also, we're not going to undo any barricades for you to save your aunt or your stoopid dog. If you attempt to remove barricades and potentially letting the zombies in, we'll kill you. Seriously.

5. Have a lot of guns.

6. Learn how to shoot your gun.

7. Grab a bat in case the gun isn't working out for you, or you run out of ammo.

8. If your dearest loved one turned into a zombie, what would you do? Kill them. They're gone and if you don't kill them, one of us sane people will do it. If you get to acting a fool...you can leave.

9. In the event that a large group of your posse is in danger, it may make sense to aid them. You may need some of their expertise and help along the way. Ultimately, you have to look out for numero uno but dont chump out and end up delaying the inevitable screwing of yourself because your were chikin.

10. If you happen to be caught outside at the start of the apocalypse please don't wait for the zombies to wake up before finding refuge. I'd look for a walmart, mall or fortified building. A firehouse may be ideal, block the steps... I'm sure zombies can't climb poles. Poor scalding how water down the chute.

11. The 1st matter of business is to fortify your position. Check for all exits and secure them. Don't let any people of a particular "ilk" that like to open doors near the exits. Kill them if they step within 100 feet of the exit. No time for games or emotions.

12. If you hear strange noises outside, remeber that this is a zombie apocalypse. All those who wish to investigate may do so at their own risk of getting shot for stepping within 100 feet of the exit.

America the beautiful?

America, where an 18 year old gets oral sex from another willing teenager and gets 10 years in jail.

America, where you get shot 40+ times for reaching for your wallet.

America, where trees are designated for whites only.

America, where you can get shot at 50 times by 5 "upholders of the law", 30 of which come from 1 individual, die and not get any justice.

America, where our president waits days to visit New Orleans after Katrina. Where many are still without homes and yet we don't have a f*cking thing for them.

America, where we can pump billions of dollars into a war that we the public no longer support or ever supported depending who you are. Yet...we can't feed victims of a national disaster.

America, where billions upon billions of dollars are spent for wars yet our skool systems suck, our veterans are homeless, our teachers abused...

America, where our politicians are paid off by corporate entities so that they can screw us over. gas Look into who in the Bush adminstration has monies invested in oil... Look at the technologies that are stunted because "they" won't make any cheese off of it. And then look how that is effects your pockets. Freedom is ringing right?

I mean really... There's no place I'd rather be, I'm not on some back to Africa nonsense but... We've given up our power as citizens. Didn't they teach us in skool that we hold the power to this country? Doesn't seem that way anymore does it? Where are the protests, the boycotts the sit ins? United we stand, right? Divided we fall... We've fallen as citizens in my humble opinion. I often sit back and wonder if I'm going to be apart of that change... The thing is, they don't want you to think that its worth it to even try.

America....where our "leader" president bush says we need to be at war to PROTECT US. A father and soon to be husband gets riddled with bullets by the Police... He had no gun... Maybe those billions of dollars spent each month should be spent on teaching the NYPD on how to conduct themselves. This is where it all started anyway.

How not to design a logo...

Another quickie to share. I saw this on my favorite forum (GAF). To read the article clickhere.

The basic gist of the article is that the London Office of Govt. Commerce wanted a bold and striking logo design.





The employees soon noticed the...awkwardness of the logo shortly after its unveiling. LOL

NFL contracts

Just a quick entry today.

I've been thinking about how phony the media is lately and how fickle and phony sports fans are.

You have a player like Shaun Alexander who just cut from the Seahawks cus he wasn't performing. They ended his contract that quick... The media doesn't care and the fans are happy.

Then you have a player like Chad Johnson who says the team isn't paying him what he's worth and the media and fans are outraged...

Why is it that a team has the "right" to tell a player that we're not going to honor the contract and release them? But a player is looked down upon for trying to get the money they're worth while they're worth it?

Doesn't seem fair? To be quite honest, I don't blame them for wanting to get paid while they "deserve" the money.

PS Teachers are underpaid.

No means no, but yes means no later... sometimes...

Ok a brief rundown. Baltimore City court rules that a woman has the right to tell a man to stop penetration of her body at any time during sex... Great!!

If the dude fails to stop, it's considered rape... Ok...I agree with that but I have some questions though...

In the story linked below a community college student allowed to high skool students to run a train on her. She consented to the second dude to have sex with her only if he stopped when she requested. The dude was a bit ruff and she asked him to stop, he stopped a little over 5 seconds later. He and his homeboy are now charged with rape, one for 5 and the other for 15 years if I'm not mistaken.

My questions are as follows.

- What if he stopped 2 seconds after she requested him to stop? What about half a second? 1 second? At what point does it become rape?

- How do you prove the someone kept going? How do you prove that you stopped? I assume many people will be videotaping their "sessions" from now on or taking a queue from Dave Chappelle and getting contracts signed before the action begins.

I'm all for protecting woman and men but this just seems like it's going to cause a lot of people heartache. What is to stop a bitter/vindictive person from lying about this, male or female for that matter?

Abortion is now considered art/What is an attention whore?

Beginning next Tuesday, Shvarts will be displaying her senior art project, a documentation of a nine-month process during which she artificially inseminated herself “as often as possible” while periodically taking abortifacient drugs to induce miscarriages. Her exhibition will feature video recordings of these forced miscarriages as well as preserved collections of the blood from the process.

What was even more shocking...well I guess it shouldn't even be shocking. This is how some people felt about what she has done...

- I have no moral objection but it's pretty shit art.

- That's wierd but it's legit art. I mean, she does the hell she wants with her body. In this concept she was expressing herself so well, it's art.
As long as "art" does not involve killing or torturing people i guess it's allright.

- can someone explain how this "cheapens the value of life". Before you do that, can you first explain what the "the value of life" is?

- So what makes humans more important than grass? It's not like there's anyone to remember us in a few billion years.

Scarily mindblowing... I don't know how else to describe it... Even if technically according to science these embryo's weren't alive. Let's just take that stance for a second. Let's say they were nothing more than a goop of goo... The fact still remains that someone is starting the early stages to "life" just to kill it for the sake of "art". That is truly disturbing and has to be one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen in my life.

Now if we take the stance that these embryo's are alive... Well, that's a whole other can of worms.

I bet all companies hate the internet....

Honda Civic SI owners incite change!

Here is another example of us forum dwellers making companies own up to their mistakes. Honda of America(HOA) refused to acknowledge that FACT that 3rd gear in our 6speed manual transmissions was faulty. That was until we signed petitions, and banded together. Multiple forums such as 8thgencivic and Acurazine which both I'm a member off made this issue really well known. Plus we got the media involved...

Think about it... What do you think of when you think of Honda? Reliable, long lasting, good trade in value...? Do you think Honda wants us on the news saying how we have issue with a MAJOR component of our transmission and they won't even acknowledge the fact that it exists and won't fix it? They sure don't and now they've all of a sudden "acknowledge" the issue and are fixing it.

Circut-City causes $12,000 worth of damage when installed a radio...

INTERNET serious business, click here to read the article.

So basically the internet is really flexing it's muscles lately. I've seen two instances were companies try to dick around customers because they're greedy. What's happening is that folks complain on forums and the word gets out world wide. You have thousands of people sympathizing with the customer and eventually it snow balls. Companies don't mind pissing off 1 person but when they're showing their displeasure to thousands of potential customers and they all join up and start contacting local news affiliates...big evil corporations start to change their tune.

Read the article above to see how a local circut-city installs a new radio for a customer, causes $12,000 worth of damage and REFUSES to fix it until "the internet defense force" steps into play. LOL

This is what we're missing out on...

I was always interested in astronomy as a child and remeber my dad telling me how I was missing out on a spectacular view by being raised in the city. Even traveling pretty far out into the country side didn't give me too much of a view. It wasn't until recently that I looked up during a clear sky and saw just how beautiful the night sky is. It's really breathtaking and births tons of thought and awe in the mind. The picture above is from Arizona where light pollution is not allowed...

What is light pollution? It's the accumulation of all the hundreds of thousands of lights in a large metropolitan area and the effect it has on the areas they reside and the areas that surround them. For those local to the MD area, the greatest distinction I've seen is when coming across the bay bridge heading towards Baltimore. You go from the pitch blackness of the eastern shore to the light bulb of the other side of the bridge, its literally night and day. I look forward to traveling to a remote location to see the beauty of the Heavens.

Collegiate students want to protect themselves...

I understand why students would want to do this but IMO more people would die foolery than ever before. There will be people playing with the guns, forgetting to put the saftey on, misfires, "accidents" and other random events.

When you have 20 college students pulling out guns to fire at an intruder...at one point does everyone recognize the target and fire on the correct person. What if your glasses get knocked off during your dash to grab your piece (lol) and you mistake me for the intruder... There's too much more than could go wrong in these situations.

People I trust with weapons -

Teachers...possibly...
Airline pilots...possibly...
John Doe with a trigger finger and short attention span who just finished a Halo3 marathon...not soo much...

Just thinking...

I believe what I believe, I said that the day I started this blog. I happen to believe in the Bible. I've been listening to some favorite preachers of mine and been doing some reading the past few days

I sometimes see where people believe that there is no innate moral law within us. If that is true than one cannot say that the atrocities of society are out of control or all that shocking because if there is no moral law within then how can you accuse these people of bucking against the grain?

Maybe I'll flesh out these thoughts a bit more at a later date.

Skool is always open @ the barber shop

Ok, I'm sure that Ice Cube has educated those of you who don't ever or even regularly enter "black barber shops". You should all have a decent idea of what goes on in regards to jokes and conversation. Here is an excerpt of what went down last Saturday.

The only real name I'll use is that of the drunk dude, his name is Marvin. I get my hair cut on Saturdays, this has gone on for years and I've never seen this dude except during the weekdays. So he pops up for the 1st time that I've seen at 10am. He is already drunk and ready to skool us and kick out some wisdom. Please forgive me for the lack of explanation on certain topics but I was actually in the chair at the time and couldn't jot down notes in my iPhone quickly enough with my 1 hand.

Conspicuous and electro magnetism were his 1st topics of discussion. Marvin then went on to say that he was not sure at what level he should come at us at. LOL He went on to tell us that there are 7 days in a year..according to Rome! LOL. Of course someone stated that he was wrong and that there are 365 but if you listen to his play on words, he is in fact correct. There are only 7 days...technically. Monday, Tuesday, Wed, Thurs, Fi, Sat, Sun. Those are the 7 days. LOL Good stuff. I don't know about the "according to Rome" part.

The next topic was the meaning of "exemplify". Marvin told us that that exemplify means to simply "set it off"... Exuberant means that you are top of the line and he no longer says the word hospital, he has done us all a favor and shortened it to spittle (1 letter and syllable short, how nice).

After a while Marvin started to became a bit agitated and stated that "just because yall see me with this oil lamp doesn't mean I dont know nothing...". An oil lamp is a 40, I never knew that until Sat.

The next topic of conversation was the word "cock". Marvin went on a rant about how a cock is a male chikin and that why in the world do men ask a woman for some cock. Marvin: "A cock is a d@mn rooster. I tell a woman I want some *****".

I swear I'm not making this stuff up.

The last topic of discussion was his lack of a cell phone. He stated that he doesn't need a cell because he's an an actor and not a producer. I have no clue what that meant. He also stated that if he had a cell and his woman called, he'd have no love for her and he's simply tell her to "be butterball" (when he gets home) and he'd hang up on her.

WOW!

Ok, now tell me if I'm wrong...

Ok, so... LOL. We all know that us guys tend to allow our minds to stumble into the gutter without much effort. Last week I was walking through the mall with my sister Mia and spending money that I shouldn't have been. We walked back into H&M for what must have been the third time(they had a decent sale going on), and before I got to the entrance I noticed the above picture. I actually had to backtrack and take a picture of it.

Now...this deserves it's own paragraph... Those two little boys don't look innocent. In fact! In fact, they appear to be undressing this woman. I guess she's supposed to be their mom but they're clawing at her chest and the youngest appears to be peering down her blouse. The child on the right is entirely too excited and her blowing hair is really wearing me out. Although I must admit I hope they make that sweater hoody in an adult size. H&M doesn't sell their best stuff in Baltimore...sadly.

This is what happens when you breast feed your children past the age 5. lol

Ogres are like onions...

This quote from one of the greatest movies of all time (Shrek) has always stood out to me. I assume that it has because I could relate to it. Nobody is as shallow as they seem, or at least I want to believe that but I do know that some people are, "what you see if what you get". I've always felt that there was layer after layer to my being that even to myself has yet to all be uncovered. Everyone wants to be "deep" and I don't necessarily consider myself that but more like an onion. LOL.

That being said, I wanted to share some pictures of Dr. Martin Luther King. I was going to just type MLK but I think his name deserved to be spelled out. I guess what I wanted to show you a different side of Dr. MLK then you've seen before. Very few people are aware that he was arrested 29 times during his service, hence the shot at the top of this blog. As far as the other pictures..., take time to click them so that they're enlarged and you can get a better sense of the emotions littered throughout the shots. Dr. MLK's sole remaining sibling is currently writing a book displaying many other layers of her brother that we never got to see.

All of these pictures aren't of him but they do show a lot and they all really spoke to me. Possibly throughout the day I'll comment on some other thoughts that I've had within the same vein of thought.

Naomi arrested after row on plane

Lock this broad up!

For real, she is a menace. LOL This chick has burned people, hit assistants, maids and God knows who else. I'm tired of hearing about her. I will celebrate the day someone merks out and just furrs her behind. So apparently this time she zapped out on a cop, lock her tail up.

Lonnie Johnson must be having a fit...

Any of us growing up in the 90's know about the super soaker. My mom is cheap as crap so I never got above the SS250 but that's kool because the SS1000 was a leaking POS anyway. Anyway, if any of you aren't up to snuff on your black history like me lol.
You wouldn't know that a black man created the SS in 1988 under the original name of the "Power Drencher"... This invention of Lonnie Johnson ushered in a new era of power water squirters. It wasn't until 1991 that the name "super soaker" was used. This poor black man never realized that some clown would coin the term "super soak these hoes"... Poor Lonnie Johnson. On one hand you've brought us all laughter, joy and tons of soaking fun. On the other hand, you are responsible for adolescent females everywhere getting "super soaked".

That is my contribution to black history month, even though it is April.


While on the topic of hoes, I noticed that Rutgers lost yesterday and that their hair did not look nappy.

April Fools!

Ok, no jokes here or pranks but I do have a few topics to touch on. I can be so scatter brained that I must jot them down before I forget. If you see a topic heading and no content, check back later because I'll get to it.

Skool System

I was listening to the Russ Parr morning show as I typically do every morning during my commute. A listener called in and stated that children who show a deficiency in math/algebra/etc. at the 9th grade level should not be considered for college. These children should be ushered towards different trades such as car repair and other manual labor style jobs.

This really struck home with me because I am/was one of this children and this is NOT the solution. If any of you are like me, you know that you have the capacity to do math (just using this word since it's general), there was just something that happened that turned you off to it.

When I was in skool, I didn't grasp the basics. It was at a time where my procrastination didn't set in, it wasn't necessarily the teachers fault and my parents were adamant about working with me and aiding me with my homework. I believe that it was a conglomerate of things that just snowballed... Large class sizes, lack of 1-1 with teachers, teachers feeling pressure to breeze through content, my own difficulty in grasping material and even different methods than what my parents grew up with that blockaded some of their ability to help me at home...

To say that keds such as myself should be banished to trade skools and manual labor is crazy, we would not be doing ourselves a service, it'd be a discredit. Wasn't Einstein terrible in skool??!! I'm not a good test taker but I went on to graduate from college and become a very successful 23 year old dude. If that caller had it his way, I'd be working in a GM car plant. Please don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with those types of jobs but that job isn't for me. That job isn't for others who struggle at times, they destiny is their own.

As far as my struggles with math... I've been attending a introductory collegiate math class since the start of the year to get over my mental block of that I just can't do it. I've succeeded with it and will continue to succeed. What I've learned and am still learning in this class will allow me to get another college degree and prove the doubters wrong.


Upcoming topics of discussion:
- The Devil is in my neighbors mouth
- The inventor of the super soaker was black!!!
