Give her what she wants, God.

and i love you too.

this is a screenshot of some of my cousins on Facebook. thanks to technology, we can now all shit talk each other virtually!

Thank you for creating the internets, Al Gore!!!

is it really all you need?

VH-1 has been showing The Beatles Anthology over the last week or so and i finally watched it with the Mister. watching the show, i was really struck by how much the Beatles' music has become a everyday part of our lives. i mean, we know songs we may not have even realized were by the Beatles. we've heard songs in commercials, in movies, covered by other artists...these guys are everywhere.

and if you owned that catalog of music (coughMichaelJackoncough!) well then....you'd be doing quite nicely financially, now wouldn't you?

the episode we watched discussed the Beatles later music, focusing on Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts' Club Band. imagine my shock to find out the Mister had NEVER heard All the Lonely People!...which is interesting because that should be his theme song.



and then imagine my shock at just how moved i was listening to All You Need is Love...



Mick Jagger is in this video a little after the 2:30 mark.

do you remember a time when music actually used instruments? when you needed much more than auto-tune and a rich boyfriend to be considered a singer?

from now on when i'm looking at video footage of town hall meeting attendees going batshit crazy over the prospect of getting health insurance, i'm going to here this song in my head.

if people got sick with all the coverage MJ received when he passed away, JUST WAIT and see what happens when all the Beatles are gone.

"i don't see how a handicapped woman has more rights than me!"

I think the part that shocked me the most about this video is the reporter's surprise that these town hall meetings really HAVE been ugly and unfair.

any questions?

i haven't had too much to say about chris brown felonious assualt on Rihanna since it all went down because 1) i don't really care like that and 2) lots of girls get beaten like Rihanna every hour on the hour: unfortunately, her victimization does not make her unique.

however, this boy over here has finally lured me out into the fray with all this stupid talking he plans on doing tonight during his ill-advised chitty chat with Larry King. The leaked quotes have definitely gotten my attention because they show a person who clearly has no real understanding of the gravity of the situation, who honestly feels like he's been a victim in this process as well, and has yet to develop a really clear sense of what  domestic/dating violence is.

some of the teaser quotes released from the upcoming interview include brown's explanation that the difference between himself and his stepfather, who brutally battered his mom, is that his stepfather "enjoyed" beating his mom, and that there was a continuous pattern of abuse.

and... this point is supposed to illustrate the difference between the two? oh, for real?

chris brown also thinks that the show Oprah Winfrey did on domestic and dating violence right after he beat up Rihanna was "a slap in the face."

oh yes, he did.

he also said he wished she had been more helpful TO HIM while he was going through being the most hated american negro since OJ.

look, man. you seem to have lost perspective.

THIS is what a slap (and punch) to the face looks like:

Oprah doing a show about weakass woman beaters where she specifically tells the woman you've battered to stay away because "if he does it once, he'll do it again" is a PUBLIC SERVICE.

if he thought he felt a great deal of hatred when he first beat her, just wait until tomorrow when he is ravaged for his statements during his sit-down with Larry King.

They used to have a complex

but then Martin Luther Chicken, Jr. marched across the street, asking the world to judge them not by the content of their weight, but by the delicious color of their skins!!

behold the deliciousness of the Black Skinned Chicken...what do you mean, EWWWWWW??

racist.
