Man's best friend

For quit a while now I have been against "rap\hip-hop" of this new generation. It really pisses me off. In the old days you would call a woman a hoe, your friend a nigga, and bitch about being poor. Now a days it's "I'm richer than you, I'll always be richer than you, I'm rich." What happened to the art of hip hop? When the godfathers of this movement started I doubt this is what they had in mind. Some songs only consist of giving props to those that influenced them. Who's the genius producer on that one? Can you imagine if every other genre of music did the same thing. Garth brooks screaming out and what up to Johnny cash or Kelly Clarkson sayin this if for my bitch Celine Dion. Actually that would be funny, but come on. Anybody who doesn't think that most of the hip hop today isn't just as manufactured as Britney Spears.....probably won't read this.(or anything. Pull up your pants!) But whatever. I fell in love with rap because of the freedom to speak. The stories of survival, and the truth of the streets. I have a hard time thinking that Fiddy has any idea what that's like anymore considering that he lives in Connecticut. I don't doubt that his life was crime filled and scary, but now that he dines at five star restaurants and is covered from head to toe in diamonds, I feel he's just stickin it to the rest of us. And maybe he deserves to, but it doesn't mean I'm buying that piece of shit album of his. ( I will download it illegally though) Maybe if these asshole didn't flaunt how much money they have, or pretend to have, I would pay for this shit. But I don't.

*keys to the rap video-

-Fancy rented cars

-Scantly clad women dancing like strippers

-throw money at the camera

-strip club\pool\beach\boat on the ocean

-ridiculously sized pendant on chain the size of my wrist

-"act gangsta" no matter where your from

Does anybody else want to push over every kid you see with his pants hanging down? Or a spray painted shirt? Why would anyone buy gigantic fake jewelry? Gangs aren't cool. I saw a kid the other day wearing a Tupac shirt. And he was like ten. If your going to have a hero maybe you should pick one that didn't get gunned down before he was thirty! I'm just sayin. I some times wonder if some of these fools wouldn't like to get shot just to sell more CDs.

It would be nice if there was someone trying to make a album that included a positive message of some sort. Maybe talk about not wanting to shoot, or be shot? Just a thought. Gun violence in a civilized world is embarrassing. This isn't about food, tyranny or water supply. It is about credibility. It is about reputation. It's bull shit. Icecube has a a song on the epic album Death Certificate* called, Man's best friend, comparing owning a dog to a gun. In America the gun wins.

There is nothing cool about guns. I understand the use of them in movies, and I myself have written parts with guns. That's fantasy. The only people that think the image of the gangsta look is cool, are the other people with the gangsta look. Lame! You can't live in a rich suburbs and be a gangsta. You can't drive around in your Dad's BMW and be a gangsta. And by the way why? if you want wear a camo jacket and act tough join the fucking army you pussy, and go to Afghanistan. If you want to portray an image of a people that die at an early age, may I suggest dressing like an Iraqi. A quick note- If you're going to wear a fur coat because you think it's tha bomb, make sure it's a mans' fur and not my grandmas.

Those of you who live in Toronto and surrounding areas than you know how important it is to stop gun violence in this country. I am completely anti-gun. This does not mean that all of you that take an unloaded rifle in your truck, and go hunting. Although you scare the piss out me I don't mean you. I mean the people that keep sawed off shotguns in their cars. People that have a hand gun of any kind. "well I like to go to the range." So leave it there. Or in your trunk. How do you think that couple in the states feel now that there 1yr old daughter shot herself? How's their protection plan going? Nobody thinks leaving a heroin filled needle around the house is a good idea. I hope.

I can't understand why people don't want guns to be registered. I guess I don't see the big deal. If I owned something that could kill someone, or something, I don't think that I would have a problem with registering with the gov't. Some believe that the undesirables will find a way no matter what, so what's the difference. Okay. Why have a speed limit, people will just speed anyway. There is a paragraph on http://www.gunregistration.org/ that states:

Gun owners are worried that total gun registration will eventually lead to the disarming of the people and cite the Nazi disarming of the Jews after gun registration became law in Germany. They also cite examples from Great Britain saying that after gun registration became law, different kinds of guns will gradually be outlawed until no one will be allowed to own a gun of any kind.

By the way I love the fact that we can use the Nazis as an example every time we don't like something. You know who else believed in global warming, the Nazis. I guess I don't fully understand this quote, because I don't see what's wrong with not have any guns. I'm an idiot I guess. At least I don't have my pants hanging low, with an over sized painted shirt, like the Nazis.

We have to get over this obsession with firearms. It's not your friend. It's not your penis. It won't make you cool. You want chicks to like you, get a fucking dog!

But for Christ sake walk him!!

You Canadians can make a difference

P.S.- To all of you who voted for Harper because you're a capitalist, and want to be rich, and feel that the conservative gov't has you in mind, you'd better be a straight, gun owning, anti-pot, pro abortion, Christian. And you need better job if I know you!

Women....

I know that people have read the book men are from Venus... and, He's just not that into you. I haven't. I don't read, I write. People think that's weird, but I don't have time read a book and try and write one. And I'm really lazy. Whatever. But something funny happened the other day when I was talking to a girl friend of mine. She had recently split from a long term boyfriend and asked me why men(either her ex or a new boy) were so deep. So many mind games? Why did guys do things that had so many undertones, ulterior motives, and complicated. What? "Is this how women think?" I replied. "Still" I think it's cute. I love the fact that so many women out there give us so much undeserved credit. It's refreshing. So I told her what I know. What I know about women in particular. The secret that too many women don't know, and what all guys think that you should already. If you are a female you might want to sit down( if you're not already) If your a guy you probably stopped reading once you realized that it wasn't about sports, porn or fighting.


Ready......


We're not that smart.


There, I said. It's true. We don't know shit. We can't think that far into the future to create a scenerio where we are trying to get a point across, unless it has to do with playoff spots. When you ask what we're thinking and we say nothing, we're not being deep, or difficult, or introspective. We're thinking nothing. We don't have relationship agendas except maybe thinking about who we would sleep with if we had the chance. Left alone to our own thoughts it sports, porn, XBOX 360, and porn. Not in that order. Porn's usually first and third. It's very flattering that you think that we're that deep. That you think that there is some other message behind, "I'll call you later". Sadly there isn't. Sadly our brain capacity does not comprehend thoughts on that level unless it involves pinch hitting in the eigth against a lefty on the road. Then we can dig into that vat of knowledge that is baseball probabilities. (Blue Jays lefties only hit about .256 with runners in scoring postion last year while pinch hitting) Other than that I know nothing about saying the right thing. Usually I answer with "I know" when T says I love you. I'm an idiot. I often argue that I love hockey and it would be unfair to hockey to put her in the same category. I think I'm pretty funny. Few around here agree.

So to all of you beautiful women that think we've got some plan, or thought, or motives, or anything other than the immediate future, or ridiculous probabilities. (If the Blue jays were in the AL Central how many years would we have made the playoffs?) I thank you. I thank you so much in giving me and men everywhere credit that we clearly do not deserve. I hope that one day we can rise up and give you the respect, love and.....

what's that?

Mark Buehrle pitched a perfect game.....

I'll be right back
