    Waning Days

    I have about a month left living in my current apartment at University Hall. I will miss it, especially the babes painted on the building across the street who inspire me to drink rum and cokes every time I glance out the window, but I’m excited about my new room which won’t have a fire station right around the corner. Here’s some nostalgia.

    Bliss is:

    Thematics

    Yo I just re-themed my website. It’s pretty similar, but also kinda different. Tell me what y’all think.

    Edit: I posted this before I was really done. Now I’m pretty much done. I stole my background pattern from the WordPress frontpage. Booyakasha.

    Selling Out

    Note To Porn-Hunters

    If you’re coming to this site because you searched for the phrase “sex in the bathroom,” you’re among what has to be close to 40% of the traffic this site receives, so you are with friends. Unfortunately at the moment I don’t have any porn to offer you unless for some reason you get off on stop-motion animations of construction paper puppets. If you do get off on that, have a blast (wink wink, nudge nudge) and also be sure to check out my animation that takes place inside a vagina. Past that, good luck in your quest to find the rest of the porn on the Internet! I hope you find what you’re seeking.

    More Proof That England is Full of Crackers

    Half of the reason for this post is that I don’t want to keep looking at the gore in the previous post. The other half is to goad Steve, Phil and the rest of those dudes over there on that crazy island.

    God damn I hate white people.

    My New Hope for Frisbee

    Maybe now that I have a pair of these…

    …I won’t get as many of these…

    Explosive

    Why are black people always blowing shit up in movies? Off the top of my head, The Italian Job, Oceans 11, Oceans 12, Heist and Pulp Fiction all propagate this weird stereotype that if there’s going to be a group of badasses (whichever side of the law), the african american among them shall be the explosives expert.

    Do black people have some sort of innate knowledge of blowing shit up? Do black actors like this stereotype? I don’t know that I wouldn’t. And it’s not like Mos Def and Don Cheadle are exactly sellouts, neither is Delroy Lindo. They have pretty serious integrity, in fact. Maybe they’re just into the idea that black folks know their explosives…
