The drugs don't work, but I've gotta edition.
Imagine this: a posat-funeral conversation with your dead son who's like not so dead. The first thing his mom does is let him know that someone's in trouble. Just like a mommy. [via The Morning News]. Also on Harpers (a site I'm gonna have to keep up on from now on), the oh-so-grown up email correspondence between two Hollywood writer/producers. Gentlemen, grow up and go count your money or something.
I've been reading the Nelson George blog since I spied the link over on Abe's linkflow. I'm really dying to know if there is any music/culture writer in existence right now without a blog. I doubt it and if there is, y'all need to start doing some peer pressure-like tactics on get everyone on this blog train. I'd kill to read a Robin D.G. Kelley or Bell Hooks or Patricia Hill Collins blog -- or do they already exist and I don't know it?
Misguided advice attempt of the week:
As you know, when you tease and act a little cocky with women, you will inevitably fuel our attraction for you. But you also have to recognize when we are still playing the game with you or if we're starting to lash back because we're insecure.Is loss of control what they're calling wanting to beat your stupid smug face in nowadays?A lack of respect can be distinguished simply by watching a girl's attitude. Listen carefully to her tone of voice and pay attention to her stance. If she's acting sassy and bitchy, and her body language is closed (arms crossed, turned away), she's probably feeling a loss of control.
Over at O-Dub, there's a bit of a rumblings about putting no homo and the like 6 feet under where it belongs. That reminds me of the lovely HS reunion listserv I got forwarded to me from Trendvickster. A selection:
Yo,I don't even know where to start, but I'm so sick of that posing bullshit. With the exception of Nick because he's at least funny, everyone sounds so stupid with that shit. You're not Lil Jon or Nelly or a 504 boy. You're generally just posing suburbans (or at least in the soul) just jumping on the bandwagon. Fuck off and do try to remember how to speak in real sentences because you are not down. Just realize it. Love, Candice. (no hetero) Posted by Candicissima at June 3, 2004 12:17 PM
