Income tax coming back

They say the income tax is supposed to go back to "normal" come January 1st unless this government, that seems to only have the goal of embarrassing President Obama in national history, does somethin to extend the system in place. That 2% break we have gotten comfortable with is about to vaporize. They say the average family will lose around $80 per month. That may not be a WHOLE lot for some but its enough for majority to feel. That changes your weekly movie theater visits to redbox nights. It makes you think twice about dating that materialistic person who lives two counties away because that gas tank has to make it all week instead of just Monday through Thursday with a second fill up for the weekend.  The sad part about this "increase in taxes" is that we kinda need it, as it funds social security. The same social security that they say will run out in 25 - 30 years if we don't do anything about it.

It's a catch 22. If we get this increase in taxes, consumers won't be able to consume as much. As a result, businesses will suffer, which will possibly lead to job loss and a resulting further downward spiral. On the flip side, we can't throw our elderly to the wolves and tell them to fend for themselves. So what do you do? Try your best not to do anything that will run the risk of further slowing the economy or do you say "forget about that 'old folks welfare system'" and possibly let my generation suffer when we reach retirement age?  I'm torn. There definitely needs to be a system in place to help the elderly but... if the economy sinks a lot further, the elderly won't have much to work with anyway.

Botched Booty Shots

This right here is some mess. Basically a woman, who was unsatisfied with her body for whatever reason, decided to get butt injections... with a doctor, who wasn't really a doctor, who thought it was a good idea to inject CEMENT and some other stuff used to fix TIRES into the backside of her patients.

Meet your doctor:

Oneal Ron Morris

I have no words.

Imagine going somewhere to make yourself look "better" in your own eyes, only to come out worse in EVERYONE'S eyes. I truly feel sorry for this young lady. Not only was her initial decision to get the butt injections (which almost NEVER look right in my opinion) a bad idea, she also made a bad decision about who to get the work done by. Now her, once optional, butt surgery is mandatory; no way she can live with cement in her backside. I mean, how would that work anyway? They would have to remove the affected area... Would they then do MORE butt injections underneath the skin to make it look "normal" again after removing the cement and stuff. The thought is just nasty.

On another note, why are people still doing this? Didn't someone die from butt injections recently? Is vanity that serious to risk death unnecessarily? I say if it aint broke, dont fix it. If it is broke, and by broke I mean major face or body dis-figuration from an accident or war, that's a different story.

In the words of satan...

This is somethin for Sunday. Never heard a song written like this... but its a well written song and actually makes you think...

Modern Warfare 3 vs The Girlfriend/Wife

And so it is... Modern Warfare 3 came out on Tuesday, sold a RIDICULOUS amount of copies on the first day, and... it garnered up a ridiculous amount of complaints from significant others who don't understand the significance of the videogame... So, as the giddy men posted pictures of their newly copped copies of MW3 from Gamestop and Walmart, etc, the women were there to hate... I mean... comment; "It can't be THAT serious" they said. "Men get out of bed to wait in line for a game at midnight, but won't run to the store real quick for us when we ask them," another said. And lastly, the famous "If men paid HALF as much attention to us as they do these videogames, we wouldn't have half the problems we have!"

But I thought about it... Women should be very happy for games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Madden and NBA2K (every year). There's so many other places that we could be. So much other foolishness that we could be getting into... but we're at home with you.... playing videogames, eating potato chips, drinking Coca Cola Classic (pay me) and cursing at our 52 inch LED television screen like it just grew a mouth and started disrespecting our mother. We're at home chillin'.

Honestly, you know what would make things better? If you accepted that videogames won't be going away anytime soon and joined in/pretended to be interested. If a girl knew how to play MW3 or Madden or any other major videogame with her boyfriend, the time they spend together would be endless! Go ahead and add 10 years to your relationship and send it to the bonus round - she will be kept around. (Sidenote: we will accept watching football/basketball AND being able to hold a knowledgeable conversation about it as a substitute if necessary.)

And while I am being a little silly, the underlying message behind what I'm saying is very true for both sexes: If you want a better relationship with your significant other, get interested in whatever it is that they are interested in. If she likes to crochet, learn how to do a shell stitch. If he likes basketball, learn who "The Iceman" George Gervin was and why he was so different. You're guaranteed to have better conversations and spend more time together. GUARANTEED!

Heavy D has passed away at the age of 44

So it sounds like one of our rap legends has went on home today. Dwight Arrington Myers, better known as Heavy D from Heavy D and the Boyz, passed away around 1 pm pacific time. Nobody knows quite how or why at this point; all we know is that he was rushed to the hospital earlier... and now he's gone. I have posted two videos below from how I remember him.

Stephenson High School vs MLK

I guess this game is a pretty big deal on the eastside of Atlanta... MLK vs Stephenson, both 9-0, are going at it this Friday at Hallford Stadium around 7:30pm. Somebody has to win... Somebody has to go home with a "1" in the loss column. This fella done sat back and made a song about the rivalry.



(Sidenote: The fella mighta said something true in his rap... Stephenson is known for their "Superband"... ain't nobody talking about MLK's band. When he said it, I had to pause myself and ask "Wait... DOES MLK have a band?!")

Crazy how this lil music video trend has started for highschool pep rallies and stuff. According to an article on AJC, Grayson kinda got things started with a song called "Brookwood, where you at?" (Sidenote: Where IS Brookwood? And while we're asking, where is Grayson?!). Anyway, "KUDOS" to you Grayson fellas for starting this up (Nobody says kudos but Im giving praise to Grayson, so its cool). I posted their video below if you wanna take a look at it. Its a cool lil rap song.

I didn't watch the whole video from either school but, from what I saw, you can tell who had money to get professional camera (with professional camera lenses, I might add) and took time to do some heavy editing... not to mention the wherewithal, according to their youtube, to put their original song on itunes as well... That being said, you gotta love the team spirit from each school. I like what's happening.
