Michelle! I found it!

So a while back in 2005 when I was working at Camp Nejeda (diabetes camp) my good friend Michelle and I had two ongoing alter egos: Tom Jones and Richard Simmons.

Now Michelle, being the creative and funny lady that she is,decided to make a picture of my secret love affair with Mr. Simmons.

Observe:


Now of course I thought this was pure hilarity. I didn't even need to know the context of this picture or anything because it in of itself is magic.

But lo and behold, last night I finally fucking found out where this picture came from!

I HAVE OFFICIALLY BECOME A FAN OF RICHARD SIMMONS. HE'S THE MAN.

end.

Comedic genius? Definitely. Please Watch:




Side Note: This show is aired on ABC Family.

So funny. So inapprops. So suggestive. So queer...

I love it :)

Wilford is My Homeboy

This video needs no introduction. Wilford says it all.

Thank you, France.

Daft Punk: [dahft pungk] (n.) - French geniuses that make the sickest beats/ dopest lyrics/ best music ever.

So you know how when you like something, you do it all the time? For example - when I was first introduced to salmon I couldn't get enough of it, so I managed to incorporate it into every single meal. I did the same when I discovered Cheez-Its. And barbies. And Will Ferrell.

Well, my friends,I have found my new obsession. I have always been a fan of Daft Punk but I never heard this mix before. It has made me want to see them in concert THAT MUCH MORE.

It gives me chills. Enjoy:

Get it Girl

Beyonce, fall back.

This dude is AMAZING! I am so thoroughly entertained by this video, its not even funny.

I don't know what it is about this song that has the gays so excited, but they are alll over Ms. Knowles new single. I'm not too sure how I feel about the outfit, but he is so entertaining that the outfit is forgivable.


Get it:

She stopped drinking diet coke, she on that coke diet

I get hooked on a song when the beat is ill.

This song is so dope (previous blog song). The video is nice too but alas, copyright infringment is alive and well and I couldn't post the vid on my blog.

NERD/Neptunes never fail! I really only have 3 artists on my "They can do no worng" list (in order):

#1 - T-Pain
#2 - Lupe
#3 - Neptunes
#4 - Weezy (almost)
#5 - Jeezy (almost)

Still worth the listen:

A noble dick...

And the magic that is Def Poetry continues. She's the bomb:

Aww Papa

This morning was my usual routine - get up, shower, brush teeth, make coffee, and get dressed while watching re-runs of Fresh Prince. One of the commercials that came on was an ad campaign for the federal governments attempt at emphasizing the importance of fatherhood.

Since most of the non-exsistent fathers are black, of course a black guy is featured in the commercial, but quite frankly, its one of the cutest commercials I've seen thus far. It gets the point across while still maintaining a light-spirited attitude and I loved it.

It's commercials like these that make me wish I didn't fit the typical minority stereotype of only having a single parent. I used to get extremely depressed over it, but my mom is the best mom/dad/best friend I could ever have, so whatever.

Brava to whoever thought of this concept. Simply brilliant. Enjoy:

Stephanie Strikes Again!

The LOML found this vid on YouTube and I had to share it.

This is what I call skill, my friends. Human monkeys? Perhaps. All I know is that this is amazing.

People are crazy. I love people.

Last one...for now...

Ok ok ok. This is the third def poetry post within the past 15 min, but I just can't help it.

Dana Gilmore is a force to be reckoned with.

Shout out to Winsome :)






Bam.

Yellow Rage

Yellow Rage is the name of this performance (I'm not racist) and this shit is illlllll.

They legit spit fire.

RSN- Now that I realized how much I love Def Poetry Jam and how I have not been publicizing its magic on my blog, be prepared for many poetry videos to come.

Don't fuck with Asians. Ever. Observe:

I Love Love

I can't believe I haven't put this up yet.

This is one of the BEST performances on Def Poetry I've ever seen. Damn yo. Love is a beautiful thing :)

He is so dope and so talented and so relate-able. This is the video that inspired me to start writing.

Worth the watch, I promise:

Palintology

Sooo though the election is over, I still can't really stop talking about this character Sarah Palin. Everyone and their mother was her for halloween and I personally just think she's really entertaining.

BBC news has titled this Palin sensation "Palintology" which is absolutely brilliant.

This video is a perfect example of how many people are talking about her/trying to be her. Peep the Palin impersonator standing to the right of McCain at a rally a couple of weeks ago:



HILARIOUS! She actually waves and says thank you! Hot damn

Queer Cheers for Keith!

Damn son. Keith Olbermann is the man. He breaks down the facts like no other political analyst ever.

Tonight on Countdown, Mr. Olbermann discussed the passing of Proposition 8 in California. He brings up so many excellent points about the absolute hypocrisy that fuels not letting same-sex couples get married. He's the man. I have no idea how anyone could actually argue against him.

I mean, let's be honest, why do people even care? If someone wants to love someone else, I'm all for it! Love is love, people, and Lord knows that this world could use more of it. There are too many pressing issues that actually need our attention and gay marriage is not one of them. Gay marriage is not even an issue.

Ugh. This topic makes me really heated.

Observe:



Get it Keith.

People have TOO much time on thier hands!

So while looking for a clip on youtube of the most infamous "bird is the word" rendition by Peter on Family Guy, I come upon this shit:

Thinking past Party Lines...

Former Secretary of State for the Bush Administration, Colin Powell, officially endorsed my boy Barack.

Republican? Democrat? Who cares?! Colin Powell sensed the absolutely obvious corruption back in the day, hence why he gladly turned over his position to Condi (eww). He does/knows what is best for us as a nation, not us as Democrats or us as Republicans.

What I like even more is that he explains his reasoning behind supporting Barack with such decorum and such sensibility. Its magnificent.

Mr. Powell, I salute you.

History in The Making (YES WE CAN!) :

Men in bad drag never fails.

So "The Hills According to Me" is absolutely hysterical. Obviously, only true The Hills fans would get the humor, but its really funny. When watching it, I legitimately laughed out loud. I was cracking up in my room to the point that my mom had to come in and ask what was wrong.

Please Watch:



Pure comedic genius. There's no way that the actual cast members on The Hills can't laugh at this.

And also, major kudos to the one actor who parody's all the roles. Snaps.

I Need a Picker-Upper

Since life is getting me down right about now, I figured I'd watch the one thing that is almost a certain cure to my sadness: Family Guy.

Some of my fav clips (the first one is for Steph):




Political (of course):




Stewie is a G! -






Yea. If only for momentary relief :-/

Count Your Blessings...

As I'm sitting on the couch, a preview for an TLC documentary called "Half Man, Half Tree" comes on.

No shit. I couldn't believe it. But there is, in fact, a man who has a rare condition of fucking TREE ROOTS sprouting from his body!

Mildly intrigued doesn't even cover 15% of my reaction to the preview. A man that turned into a tree???? When you think you've seen it all, some craziness like this pops up.

This makes "people" from movies like "I Am Legend" scarily realistic. Damn.

So when my mom comes home, I tell her about this madness and she has the nerve to say "I wonder if creatures live in there. Like larva." Only my mom :-/ WTF!? I didn't even consider the possibility of maggots and shit growing in between his tree branch-like fingers.

Observe:



Think about the torment/pain/ridicule this man must go through everyday. Count your blessings, folks. Its not a game.

People Fucking Make Me Sick

Pardon my French but ...what the fuck is our world coming to? Seriously.

The day that a fucking grown ass man with two children has the fucking nerve to beat up, jump KNOCK OUT A 16 YEAR OLD GIRL because she got mad when he cut the line AT MCDONALDS is sooooo fucking absurd I can't even stand it.

Its repulsive, its pathetic, its shameful. PEOPLE LIKE THIS IS WHY BLACK PEOPLE GET SUCH A BAD NAME.

Are you serious? I almost vomited when I saw this video. No lie. I get back from work and my mom looks furious. I ask her whats wrong and she shows me this shit.

She had every right to be pissed off.

What the fuck? I can't even think straight. This video is not funny at all. With our environment slowly deteriorating, our economy falling a part, and a HUGE election coming up that will decide the future of our country, we do not need this bullshit. As cliche as this may sound, we need to stick together as a people because all we have is each other. Our world is collapsing before our eyes and we are still fighting, killing, and fucking each other over.

I'm on the verge of giving up.



Notice that NO ONE even blinks an eye! People fucking move out of the way, keep ordering, and act like nothing happened.

WTF!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Damn. I thought New Yorkers were mean and rude, but LA takes the cake. I didn't know California got down like this.

Politics=Pop?

I'm loving that almost everyone is following politics these days. This election has really become apart of pop culture. Between the Obama shirts, the SNL skits and the increasingly growing number of registered voters, everyone is talking about politics.

People who didn't watch the debate are now the minority. That's awesome. Yay for us for becoming more involved in the future of our country.

Here is a CNN segment on Palin's popularity in the media. Kinda funny :)

Highlights:

• "And today, the baby is being adopted by Angelina Jolie."
• "And we're learning more and more about Governor Palin, her daughters' name is Juno." LMAO
• "I don't think that a young lady getting pregnant should be news unless John Edwards is the father."
