Hey look, a haiku!

The New Breakdown (or "Why this heavy breathing?")

Newspaper tongue,
Bacon-grease sweat, vomit
Ringing in my ears.

Politics as usual

The New York times tells me that President Obama is sending more troops to Afghanistan. I can't help feeling a little betrayed, honestly. I mean, I thought I voted for the guy who was getting us out of this war. Well, this one and the other one we're still fighting in Iraq.

Now, lest I sound irrational, let me clarify my point: I'm not saying that it isn't difficult being the President. I'm not saying that national security isn't important. I'm not saying that the situation isn't complicated as all fuck. All I'm saying is give peace a chance.

News from abroad

Check out this Al Jazeera report about Native Americans living in South Dakota. It's pretty devastating, and nothing in the story would have ever crossed my mind if I hadn't seen it. So expand your awareness. I mean, it seems like the situation at least deserves to be noticed.

The web's best bandwidth investment by far...

"The things change, you plain Jane,
I'm diverse, I save the World second,
and I get high first." - Lil' Wayne

NEWSFLASH - A documentary about Lil' Wayne debuted with unanimous critical acclaim at Sundance this year, and just a few days ago, it was released on DVD.

I've heard far too many music lovers downplay Lil' Wayne's success and talent. So, I'm going to post three links. The first will take you to a torrent for Don't Look Back, the documentary that followed Bob Dylan on is 1965 tour of England. The second is for The Carter documentary, which follows Lil' Wayne during the months leading up to the release of Tha Carter 3. The third is for Lil' Wayne's latest mixtape, No Ceilings.

Play them in order and get hip to the greatest popular musician of our generation.

Don't Look Back ------->>> The Carter -------->>> No Ceilings

Yeah. Something like that.

Every once in a while, she really takes you by surprise. She moves through you at her will, and once your feet leave the ground, there is no back until she puts you back, all in one piece just like the last time. It's a ride through the fabric of who we all are. There's no outsmarting her. She unleashes subjectivity and takes you under the truth.
