2 Quick Thoughts

• I know that people can be night owls, but can they be day owls? Are people that are up during the day not called day owls because they are in the majority?
• If you arrested a deaf person and handcuffed them, would that be the same as tying them up and gagging them?

These are the two things that I want to know right now. Oh and anything having to do with power and not the kind that the lady has in that song by C and C Music Factory. Or is it?

"Small hands. Smell like cabbage."

Was the reply that Austin Powers gave in his first move about carnies. Well I am here to tell you, I feel the same way. Only it's about men with irregularly small feet. You can't trust them. Plus, it just really creeps me out.

I know of a few people (no names of course, ask me if you want to know), that have what I would say are tiny feet for their height. It just looks weird, and they take these creepy tiny steps. I imagine Charles Manson and Ted Bundy walked the same way. Also, I am not aware if any studies have been done, but both of the people I know with weird tiny feet are weirdos.

Now, I know you are all thinking, that I just looked at them and said "Hey you have small feet!" Nope, like the jerk that I am, I asked them, "Hey what size shoe do you wear?" Then later that day I asked them "How tall are you?"

The results:
5'7" = size 8 shoe
5'7" = size 9 shoe
weirdo/creep factor for them both on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the weirdest/creepiest = 10

Now, I ask you all. Star your research engines and contact me with the results. In fact, think of any weirdos you know, establish their weirdo-ness, then look at their shoes.

Found on the Internet!

Too much.

Discovery of the Book of Judas
Today archaeologists in Lebanon announced the discovery of a new biblical scroll, the Book of Judas. Biblical scholar Art Vandelay says “These scrolls are unequivocally the most important find within the Christian community in the last 500 years. The Book of Judas will redefine the events that led to the crucifixion of Jesus.” As the public waits for a full release of the document, we here at Historic Perfection were able to obtain an advanced excerpt.

"Last night I was at this dope ass club getting my buzz on, when two fine ass bitches walk right by me. A player has got to play so it was time to spin some game. I darted in and within minutes the ladies were totally digging my shit. Then, out of nowhere, comes Jesus. JC pulls his water into wine shtick, totally name drops that his dad is God, and the next thing I know the skanks are heading back to his crib. No lie, I am going to fuck his shit up real soon."
Judas 5:14

Bonus Post!

Anyone that knows me, knows that I am a big hip-hop fan. All of it, minus the crap. Some of you out there may not be able to distinguish what is good and what is bad. 'Laffy Taffy' bad. Anything Jay-Z, good. However it is much more complicated than that.

One of the better rappers out there is a man by the name of Talib Kweli. I suggest you check him out. He is is most commonly referred to as part of the backpacker movement, although he doesn't put himself in the niche.

Here is a sample.

The Proud
[Verse one]

"Today the paper say Timothy McVeigh's in hell
So everything's okay and all must be well
I remember Oklahoma when they put out the blaze
And put Islamic terrorist bombing, on the front page
It's like saying only gays get AIDS, propaganda
Like saying the problem's over when they locked that man up
Wrong! It's just the beginning, the first inning
Battle for America's soul, the devil's winning
The President is Bush, the Vice President's a Dick
So a whole lot of fuckin is what we gon' get
They don't wanna raise the babies so the election is fixed
That's why we don't be fuckin with politics
They bet on that, parents fought and got wet for that
Hosed down, bit by dogs, and got blacks into house arrest for that
It's all good except for that - we still poor
Money, power and respect is what we kill for, for real"

~Talib Kweli

Black History Post 2

Right back at you kids. This time I am going to blog about a little known black 'militant' named Rob Williams. Automatically when you hear that word you instantly think violence. Names like Malcolm X and Huey P. Newton come to mind. This is exactly what the government wants you to think. However, you never hear about all of the positive things the Black Panthers did as a political party. The Black Panther Party for Self Defense began after school programs for inner city children qnd when the Los Angeles police department began to get rough with black citizens and not protect them, they got their own guns and protected their neighborhoods, only getting violent when forced too. I digress.

Rob Williams actually wrote a book Negroes with Guns that inspired the Black Panther party. As stated here.

"Robert F. Williams died October 15th, 1996. His funeral was attended by Rosa Parks, among others. He was among the most important and influential figures in the tradition of African American armed self defense. An ex-Marine and leader of the NAACP chapter in Monroe, North Carolina, he was expelled by the NAACP for his views in 1959. He led a fight by African Americans in the late 50s and early 60s to defend themselves, with guns when necessary, from Ku Klux Klan violence"

I recently saw a PBS special on this man and I found it very interstice. I had never even heard of him. If anyone would like to see the documentary, please contact me and I can make you can borrow it from me. Get familiar!

Very observant aren't we?

Here is something I have noticed over the years of my life. 25 of them so far. I know others have seen this too but I am going to speak on it.

What is up, with the males of a specific ethnicity, wearing shorts and short sleeves whenever they can. I just don't understand it. It is winter time. I don't like it either but just accept it. There is no need for you to be walking around in 40 degree weather with short sleeves on. Send out the memo, it is time to stop this practice.

Exhibit A:

Stay fly!

The wardrobes I see at my place of employ astound me. However, one thing is for sure. A pair of blue slacks, white tennis shoes, and a tucked in brown pocketed t-shirt is not "dressed up" Actually, one should never, ever, go to an office dressed this way. No matter how "casual" it may be.

Black History Post 1

I am sure everyone is well aware that it is black history month. So, I will do a few posts on this topic. Some people may be political and some may be entertainers. Stay tuned....



Cornel West is a highly educated black man. As you can see from the link he marched in numerous civil rights campaigned and is a strong influence to this day. However it does not stop there. In addition to be a published author, he was also a professor at Harvard University. He left Princeton to take that job. While at Harvard he has published many books and also been involved in heated debates with the former president regarding his political and teaching career, eventually leading him back to Princeton.

Cornell West is an interesting man and very relevant to all members of this society. Not just black ones!

He wrote this book, Race Matters, which I have read and anyone can feel free to check out from my personal library!

From School Library Journal YA-
"Thought-provoking essays that address a number of controversial issues of concern to African Americans. West analyzes such subjects as nihilism in black America, the crisis of black leadership, affirmative action, black-Jewish relations, sexuality, and the legacy of Malcolm X. His writing style is scholarly and sparse-he does not waste words, and his prose is easy to read. Yet his viewpoints are radical and passionately felt. He is not afraid to speak frankly and, while he presents many criticisms, he also offers many solutions. Not everyone will agree with his point of view, but if one of his objectives is to make readers at least think about the problems he has dissected, then he has succeeded admirably."

"BIG LOVE", POPS

So, I showed my father my website. The first post he saw was the one from yesterday. This is what he had to say:


"SON,I FIND THE WEBSITE ENTERTAINING EXCEPT FOR THE VERY BEGINNING I FIND THAT A LITTLE BIT RUFF. GET WHAT I MEAN! CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT I KNOW YOUR ANCESTRY I AM NOT SHOCKED BUT SEE IT AS A STARTING POINT FOR THE THINGS I MUST WORK ON WITH YOU. "BIG LOVE"POPS "

You gotta love that guy! Too bad I don't think he listens to Mos Def because the lyrics of that song are good ones. I suppose I have been thirsty this week with all of the water posts.

Here is the first verse

[Mos Def]There's nothing more refreshing (that cool refreshing drink)Than a cool, crisp, clean glass of water On a warm summer's day (That cool refreshing drink)Try it with your friends

New World Water make the tide rise high
Come inland and make your house go "Bye" (My house!)
Fools done upset the Old Man River
Made him carry slave ships and fed him dead nigga
Now his belly full and he about to flood somethin
So I'ma throw a rope that ain't tied to nothin
Tell your crew use the H2 in wise amounts since it's the New World Water; and every drop counts
You can laugh and take it as a joke if you wanna
But it don't rain for four weeks some summers
And it's about to get real wild in the half
You be buying Evian just to take a fuckin bath
Heads is acting wild, sippin poor, puffin dank
Competin with the next man for higher playin rank
See I ain't got time try to be Big Hank,
Fuck a bank; I need a twenty-year water tank

"Fuck a bank! I need a 20 year water tank!" ~Mos Def - New World Water

I have a very accurate sense of smell and taste. So much so, that there are kinds of water that I just do not like. I always knew what taste I preferred but I had no clue why or what. I have a love for Aquafina and Dasani. However, I can't stand Poland Springs or Deer Park. What is more, I can't stand Zephyrhills, which on first glance looks like Zephyrillis, which sounds like a bacteria of some sort. See for yourself.

It turns out, that the water I like most, is not natural water but purified water with stuff added. Un-water if you will. I can't help it, that is what I like. It tastes clean and cool. Not all watery and plain like spring water. They changed the water purification plant in Newport News I knew too, by taste and not by the newspaper like normal people. I like it better when it was not state of the art.

Ironically, the best water I ever had was from a spring in a cave here. At the Natural Bridge in VA. It has all be crappy since then, even though I drink about 64 oz. of it a day.

"Back up, Give me Space"

Did everyone here about the comet dust the astrologers just collected. They were so happy. Not me though, because I realize you don't have to go all the way to space to get dust. You can get it in the corners, and not the ones of the galaxy. The actual corners!

Which leads right into our marvelous space program. What a waste of time and money. So far, I think the most noticble thing we did was visit the moon. If you ask me, it looks a lot like a Hollywood sound stage. I could visit the moon in my room, with a budget. Did it ever happen?

I think the whole space thing is just lame. It does make for good TV though.


No disrespect, but when any 'program' that operates a vehicle designed to be on the scientific forefront, can be grounded by a piece of foam, I have to wonder if it necessary or worthwhile when peoples lives come into play.

The best things we have gotten from the space program are:

Tang (This kind!)

Velcro

Flame retardant materials (Without which this could never happen)

Nice weather we are having eh?

So. I don't know if anyone has noticed, but there is this little thing called The Weather Channel. From the name of this channel, I am sure you can guess what comes. Or can you? Well if you guessed, 'Weather updates!' you would be partially correct.

What actually comes on most of the time, is shows about the weather. Or home improvement tips. Well I am pissed. All I want to see on the weather channel is the weather. Non-stop. Not every 8 minutes on my 'Local on the 8's" This is stupid. How about this. They make a new segment called 'Shit other than the weather, on the 8's or another channel.'

Which leads me right into MTV:Music Television. I think not, nothing but craptastic teeny boppers shows. It used to be that you could depend on MTV2, now all they show is hip-hop, which I love, but I want to see all types of music on there. About the only channel doing what they are supposed to do is BET:Black Entertainment TV. I am black, I watch it, and I am entertained. For people that think BET is racist and want to say, "Where is WET:White Entertainment TV" I say, look around. Every other channel is WET!
