holy shit!

A musical tissue roller. There’s nothing I want more than to go into a friend’s home, ask to use their bathroom, go to use the toilet paper, and find, “Ah ha! A toilet-paper holder that makes music!” By that time, I’ll be glad that I had just finished using the restroom, because I would be scared so much by a music-making accessory for a product designed to wipe fecal mater from my rear. Great conversation piece my ass.

On the heels of Senator Barack Obama’s monumental win in South Carolina, I am filled even more with a sense inspiration and hope. Personally, I have never been overly drawn to political issues or candidates, despite my understanding of how American Politics impacts the world. I only garnered more discouragement from speaking with friends who were also more than politically disengaged. The youth of America had not been inspired. They had not been engaged.

As someone who is a general news junkie, knowledge of general political issues comes with the informational territory. I understand what the important issues are and which sound bites would be fed to the masses to propel the issues forward , but I never took responsibility for those issues. How could those issues impact my way of life, and those closest to me? Immigration is important because the media decides to dedicate airtime to it, but what do I believe? I would think the situation overseas is dire, but it is the way it is and it is not my responsibility to care about it. Perhaps by saying that I was “inspired” by Obama would be stealing from the Queen of Media, Ms. Oprah Winfrey, but it is the only way to describe what has happened…and is happening all around this country. (By the way you may OWN a lot Oprah….but the word inspiration is free game.) Continue reading »

holy shit!

Can you imagine the sheer horror of walking by this thing, late at night? Billy, The Big-Mouth Bass was bad enough, now they have a talking mother-in-law? “The life like portait.” If I had a mother-in-law, and she looked like that, I sure as hell wouldn’t put a picture of her on the wall.

Sure, the text is so small that you can’t possibly read it, but hell, you will always have something to blow your nose on if worst comes to worst. A thoughtful gift for friends and churchgoing companions indeed.

“Look what I have bought for you, Beverly”
“Ooh, Is this what I think it is?”
“Open it, Beverly.”
“Oh, thank you Joanne. It’s what I’ve always wanted, a 3 dollar bible keychain that you bought for me form a trashy mail-order catalogue. So thoughtful of you.”
“Well, I knew you believed in ‘Jesus’ or whatever, so I got it for you!”

BARACK and the BEAST!

Can Barack Obama win South Carolina? Well, the optimist inside me shouts yes, but recent events beg a different response. Each day I watch local news, flipping back and forth between sloppy coverage. Several days ago, one of the local stations had a segment in which the news anchor was interviewing Senator Obama. In her interview she took questions submitted by viewers straight to Obama. The questions were outrageous, but perhaps give us a better view of the mentality Barack would face if he were to gain the Democratic nomination. Most of the questions surrounded the absurd idea of Obama being an radical Muslim. Question after question targeted the same nerve…each looking for a reason not to like him.I am sure Barack is pondering…what to do…what to do…should I spread the radical Islam …which I dont believe in.. or focus on becoming an effective leader of the free world? Black men have it hard enough..let the man concentrate on the latter. Can people not utilize the tools afforded to us in the 21st century to delve deeper into these issues if they are of such importance? While I do understand that many do not have internet access etc…a library card is just a proof of identification away. I heard even more of these questions at my job. Continue reading »

holy shit!

Just what I’ve been looking for, an elegant three-tier chandelier without the elegant three-tier chandelier price! My wife didn’t know what had gone through my mind, and thought I spent thousands of dollars on a real chandelier, but instead, I just super-glued some beer-bottle glass to these barrel rings that I found in the alley. It hangs from a ceiling light bulb, just like real chandeliers. Easily the classiest product we’ve featured.

denture repair height=

Grandma musta bitten into that file you baked into her cake to have gotten her dentures in a fix like that. But with Grandma in jail, what’s she gonna do? Use the denture repair kit, of course. Only 6.98 – or your could fix 2 sets of file-damaged dentures for 12.98.

 

obama, clinton, edwards

Often times we get caught up in the outrageous noise of conventional living and fail to recognize the real messages that surround us. Yes, there are the blaring ones of commercialism, but there are also some of truth and responsibilty. Yesterday, I had the opportunity to go to the Democratic Debates in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, sponsored by the South Carolina Legislative Caucus. While there were rampant messages of partisan politics, it was those voices that had something more to say than mere praises in support of one candidate or another that touched my spirit. I realized how truly tuned out I was becoming.

I traveled to Myrtle Beach with a broad coalition of student leaders dedicated to propelling the message of a clean energy future to political leaders through their grassroots efforts. Many of these students don’t receive any type of monetary compensation for their work, but you wouldn’t know this by their displays of dedication to the cause.The students made conference calls the entire drive en route to Myrtle Beach, honing their talking points and presentation. When we arrived they hit the ground running with media advisories, signs,petitions,polar bear suits,and an energy which cannot wholly be explained. Continue reading »
