You know how I feel about my dance and techno, tho...
We'll Miss You Larry King...
We'll miss you Larry!!
All of the Lights...
I think I see the lines,
I think I see a sign,
I think I see the sky
as an intelligent design,
I think I feel the aura 'round the lights from the behind
of a shiny silver Camry,
driving families through the grind.
It's a model of it's kind,
and a product of the times,
the essence of the prime
can never be defined
by my metaphorical rhetorical
of the ambient lighting of Zion
coming down on my mind
eating fries, getting wise,
rolling joints in the back of the ride
on the surface of the binder that I scribble out my rhymes...

I am destined to be with a Sagittarius.
So, Obama is the figurative "man in the middle" in the debate over the tax cut deal that congress is set to vote on. Liberal democrats are upset, because the deal calls for a tax cut for the wealthiest americans. But it also could stop taxes from going up, if Congress votes in its favor.
I say, regardless of how congress votes, the GOP is winning...
Once upon a time, American politics was very tied to the traditional party titles. These days, it seems there is no beating around the bush: politics is no longer SIMPLY about the different philosophies of running a free state, but more so a debate about the state of the economy. There is no denying the financial schism of the wealthy and the workers.
On another note, Does Obama seem less smooth in delivering this address, or is it just me? I swear, it's more noticeable than usual that he's reading off of cue cards. That makes me feel nervous. Not only that, he seems more "high-yellow" in this video than I've ever seen him look before. I want to say that his checkerboard anecdote was an allusion to a greater transition in the political climate, but I don't want to be negative lol. Watch the video!
New Movie: Source Code

POLITICS: NEW FOOD SAFETY MODERNIZATION ACT
Here's the breakdown:
->The FDA would have recall power on tainted goods, but would not be able to sue individual producers for knowingly selling contaminated goods.
->Food producers would have to write safety plans for the government's records, in the case of an outbreak. (I wonder if the FDA will ask for a safety plan before or after a recall...)
Apparently, though, if producers sell directly to the people, they don't have to write a safety plan, because the consumer knows where the products are coming from.
->The Secretary of Health and Human Services would be required to create a tracing system to identify and stop foodborne illnesses from spreading as efficiently and swiftly as possible.
-> Importers would have to verify goods with U.S. food safety standards.
Do you think the government should have that much foothold in the food industry? Does this affect Taco Bell in anyway? Lol

The Obama Administration: FEDERAL PAY FREEZE?!?!
The President is now singing the same tune as his GOP opposition, with talks of "fiscal responsibility," and things of that nature, but all it sounds like is a money hungry, small powerful government that would rather see a pay freeze than a tax cut for the exceedingly wealthy. SMH. That's a mess.
Nukero: The World's ONLY Solar Light Bulb
"The N200 is small, lightweight, and durable, and Nokero describes it as 'humanity’s best chance at ending the dangerous and polluting practice of burning kerosene fuel for lighting.' An astounding quarter of the world’s population still burns fossil fuels for light, resulting in 190 million tons of carbon dioxide being released into the air each year."-InHabitatGet a better look...*
POWER: Dallas Mavericks?

This is really funny, in an illuminating kind of way. Hip Hop is the most LUCRATIVE and PERVASIVE industry EVER. Even more so than sports.
Harry Potter: International Cult?
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part One) grossed an obscene amount of money in its opening weekend, and it was only after my friends and I cut a line, that would soon wind around corners of a rather large theater, that I realized how cult-like the whole Harry Potter craze really is.
People (notice how I didn't say children) dressed up as Harry, Ron, and Hermione ALL OVER THE WORLD, clutching books like bibles, reciting spells, waiting for the visual manifestation of an enchanted story. By no means am I religious conservative zealot, or even observing with a critical eye. It just amazes me that words can hold so much power.

"The best way we can describe Armsrock's work is classical technique thrown through a stream of urban consciousness filter. There will definitely be more of this at Wonderland." -Juxtapoz Magazine

New Book: Obama's War by Bob Woodward
I take everything with a grain of salt. Though, I agree that President Obama's thought process is very business oriented, I also believe he has a lot on his plate, including the most divided Congress since the Civil War. The War is just a mess that no one can really clean up. Either way, I'm sure it's a worthy read!

As if that wasn't enough, they also did white America (and, most likely, other minority groups) a favor by very subtly explaining the idea of the "light-skinned" African-American. Tristan Wilds and Evan Ross are not the same kind of "black," and I think the way they introduced Ross' characters race exes out the idea the infamous saying that "all black people look the same." Great episode!
