Hi My Name is Kia

Man shot 4 times at Atlanta Starbucks

Holy shit … and uh, there’s a joke in here somewhere but I can’t find it. Anyone?

He got ordered a Quad Venti Latte and got more than he bargained for? Or alternately, “When I said a Quad shot, this is NOT WHAT I MEANT!!” said the man.

Yep. I will out-ironic everyone in ironic sunglasses this summer.

"Only Black Guy" Concert Review - Chris Rock

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 16:10:00 -0400

"Only Black Guy" Concert Review - Chris Rock:

“This week my assignment was to see Coldplay at Madison Square Garden. Now being the only black guy can sometimes be dangerous like the time I was the only black guy at an ACDC concert in Prague. There not use to seeing black people at all in Prague, but a black guy singing “hells bells” was just a little to much for them to take. Now I didn’t know what to expect from a Coldplay concert, but I figured I wasn’t gonna get stabbed in the middle of ‘yellow.’ “

I feel you Chris Rock. I feel you. I’m usually the only black person at pretty much every show I attend. Not including, of course, the people working security and concessions.

“I think that if NKOTB and New Edition had recorded a song together when I was 12, there would be an EXCELLENT chance I would have turned out gay.”

- My internet love for Matt grows exponentially each day. And btw, he is referring to this excellent news.

Oh, God bless you.

I JUST DIED AND WENT TO HEAVUN. A good portion of my teenage years was spent watching Undressed marathons until 4am. It was scandalous, especially for me, as I was a home body, an academic nerd, and a choir geek. Why is this shit not on DVD?

I could never figure out just why this song was on the Free Willy soundtrack. No matter, it was and still is fire.

Ron Burgundy: Boy, that escalated quickly… I mean, that really got out of hand fast.
Champ Kind: It jumped up a notch.
Ron Burgundy: It did, didn’t it?
Brick Tamland: Yeah, I stabbed a man in the heart.
Ron Burgundy: I saw that. Brick killed a guy. Did you throw a trident?
Brick Tamland: Yeah, there were horses, and a man on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident.
Ron Burgundy: Brick, I’ve been meaning to talk to you about that. You should find yourself a safehouse or a relative close by. Lay low for a while, because you’re probably wanted for murder.

Kanye West Bank

patrickcassels:

From the moment Kanye first donned them in 2007, the shutter shades were instantly identified as a distinctly ’80s accessory. However, visual evidence of the glasses from the period is harder to come by than I had anticipated. In the end, I was only able to find two exhibits of the glasses from their alleged decade of origin. The first is the1985 film “The Last Dragon,” in which they were worn by the character Sho’Nuff. The second is the music video for Animotion’s hit 1985 single, “Obsession.”

Thank you Pat Cassels for recognizing Kanye’s steelo jack. I would also like to pettily point out that I blogged about this very issue last week. Of course, PCassels’ post is about 1,968 times better so read his instead.

Someone on tumblr just called me fat. So is it now that I make my dramatic exit from the internet?

How fucking rude.
This is something my girlfriend suggested she and I do, not as a WashingTron meetup. Thanks for picking something up and shitting all over it.
In fact, please don’t go to that event. Ever.
Oh, and btw, you spelled “conditioning” wrong.

Whoa whoa whoa. Hold on buddy. A) I wasn’t trying to “shit” all over anything. I suppose some good-natured jesting is lost in text? I mean, it’s obviously supposed to read as totally biased. Perhaps I should have added LOLZ at the end? Or am I just really FAILsville with the funny? B) I did not suggest it as a meet-up, I was responding to it as a suggestion for a meet-up. C) I can’t even spell “their” right half the time (not even joking) so I completely accept the burn on spelling.

So I guess this means you’re not coming to the next meetup, huh?

“The only difference between martyrdom and suicide is press coverage.”

- From Chuck Palahniuk’s book Survivor. (via riotrepublic)
Also, a Panic at the Disco song title. How did I not make that connection? I’m dumb. That is probably my favorite non-Fantasy (read: Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter) book. It would be a STELLAR movie. Better than Choke, and better than Invisible Monsters, which I’ve heard is also being made into a film. BOO! I want Tender Branson!

Anyone know anything about transferring DVR recordings from a Motorola Dual Tuner HD Box via IEEE 1394? I gots to get VH1 Soul’s “New Jack Swing A-Z” on my hard drive STAT. It is imperative that I have the Bobby Brown, New Edition, BBD, Boyz II Men and Guy/Wrecks-n-Effect video collections at my fingertips.

I woke up this morning to the most massive drool puddle on my pillow that I can ever recall in my entire life. Holy hell. Is there some sort of medical procedure I can get to, you know, NOT drool? I am the ugliest sleeper ever. My face swells, I get the pattern of any creases in the pillow case on the side of my face, I have severe sleep apnea (world-class snoring), and apparently, severe droolitis.

Hey fellas, line up!
