Slamnesty: Shihan

SLU's Amnesty International along with some of the other campus orgs brought one of the most hip and prolific poets of our time. I've been listening to this guy for a couple of years now and it was great to see his whole show. The guy is genuinely funny, intelligent, and deep. Here is one of his poems. It's called Boy/Girl.

Stay Aware

Over this whole month designated to remember our black history, it seems that there have been quite a few stories involving racial tension to hit the net. Some nationwide and even some local, but whether it's on a small scale or large scale make sure you pay attention to it. I won't tell you how to think, but I will make sure you're aware of what's going on.

Flashy Words

Fresh off of bringing the great Cornel West, & wrapping up the SLU monologues, the culturally aware students at SLU are bringing in another great speaker, the poet Shihan. Here's a little bio that I've copied & pasted:

A native of New York’s Lower East Side and a current resident and local legend of Los Angeles, Shihan is undoubtedly one of the most dynamic spoken word artists of our generation. This National Poetry Slam Champion (2004) and National Poetry Slam Finalist(2nd in 2001, 5th in 2003 and 3rd in 2005) has been featured on a variety of media outlets such as 6 appearances on HBO’s Def Poetry, NBC, Oprah Winfrey’s Oxygen Network, Al Gore’s Current TV, Nike’s Battlegrounds, Reebok, Adidas, NBA, CNN, Artisan Films’ Belly DVD, Complex and Billboard Magazine, several national commercial spots, 5 National Tours including the Tony Award Winning Russell Simmons presents Def Poetry Jam International Tour and 2 upcoming spoken word documentaries with theatrical releases, SP!T and the sequel to 1997’s cult doc Slam Nation, Slam Planet. His abilities to transcend cultural and generational boundaries have made Shihan a much sought after talent. In addition, Shihan has independently released 2 CD’s The Poet and Music Is The New Cotton which have both received critical praise for their honesty and creativity.

For the past 10 years, Shihan has been co-hosting Da' Poetry Lounge, the nation's largest open mic night held in Hollywood, CA. This very busy man is also the official producer of Spoken Word Fest at the Pan African Film Festival (the world's largest and most prestigious black film festival), and is currently working on a follow up to 'The Poet' tentatively titled 'The Balance.'

Even better, check out one of his videos on Def Poetry Jam.

Black History Month

So this dude has the worse delivery that I've seen on TV, and mostly known for being embarrassed by Jamie Foxx, but he had a nice lil point in his Comedy Central special.

This is when he got famous:

What You Talmbout?

Man Man Man...look at this video right here.

Wait, I gotta hold in my laughter for a sec to type. Ok, who woulda thunk that the mini house negroe Arnold Jackson would turn into this, little monster?

Here's what was going on in my mind while watching this:

• The white lady definitely did provoke him. She made it all an argument & it didn't have to be. they're supposed to be asking questions & not yelling. Gary Coleman got offended and yelled back, but there is the saying "Only a hit dog hollers." He said, "There's no abuse that goes on in my house" so that should be a done deal right?
• WTF is a waffler?
• Do you think if that was a full size black man she would be yelling at him?
• Should that guy really bring up if Gary Coleman hit someone, and would there be a real threat?
• Niecy Nash shol got some lips...I'm surprised she wasn't he one provoking that lil dude.
• His chick taller than mine & I got about a foot and a half on him.
• He sure does look like the leprechaun.

Subject: What Is Really Going On?

Most mornings I listen to the Steve Harvey Morning Show & they have a daily letter written by someone who is in a tough situation. Here is the letter from today.

I've been married for 15 years. My spouse has a best friend that is a female. I knew about this when we got marry. I was okay with that because I have a lot of male friends. But now things are a little strange for me. He is now visiting her every other weekend (which is a 5 hour drive one way). He has taken her to Canada and now would like to take her to Brazil. He didn't ask me if I would like to go. I was a little upset about him asking her if she would like to go. I asked him why would he do that and not ask me. His reply was I do not have a passport and that she is paying her own way. His action is not of a man who love's his spouse. He feels because he is open with me about what his plans are, that it is okay to do this. I feel it is disrespectful to me.
Shirley and Steve what is your take on this?
Out of the 14 years we have been married he has never treated me this way.

I can imagine this dude pullin out the DJ Paul line "I got the d**k so I make the rules!" I think it's fair to say that she is trying to be too open to this new generation relationship. I'll admit, I have quite a few female friends. I will also admit one exclusive friendship escalated to a relationship, but that was not intentional & I don't foresee anything like that happening again. I've been fortunate enough to have friends that understand my relationship too. Now that I'm with a young lady that I care about, I try to spend a lot of time with her & my friends understand that. It may be because everyone has lives of their own & a couple of my closest friends live hours away, but either way it goes none of them are bitter. On the other hand, I know someone else *cough cough* with more needy friends that get in the way of a progressing relationship.

Before I got in this predicament, I told my female friend at the time "I could never date you." I said that because when she had a man, you couldn't tell at all. I thought she was way too close to me & other guys, plus she did what she wanted no matter what. Apparently dude was cool with it, but I wouldn't be. So, stuff happened and we ended up together. She already knew how I was so for a while things were adjusted for our liking, but after a while I was thinkin...she gettin too comfortable ain't she? So I had to put my size 11's down, ya dig? Before I get my nuts chopped off I'll skip to the moral of this story: People only do what you allow them, so you better get your trip to Brazil too. You AND the kids.

Tiger

So today around 11am central, Tiger will finally come forth with his first public word since he went into Sex Rehab. First, I don't think there is ever an excuse to cheat on your spouse, let alone have the train of women that he chose. I make jokes about how if a man isn't pleased he should get something on the side ("The entree ain't good without something on the side") but those are all humorous. In my opinion, it should be a lot harder for people to get married. Marriage classes should be mandatory & for consequences of breeches of your vows you should be held legally accountable. <---Maybe not that last part, but you should be expected to uphold your vows. "For better, or for worse. For richer or for poorer. Til Death do us part."

[Pause| The marriage episode on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is hella weird. |Unpause]

I just feel like people take marriage as a joke these days so most people who aren't ready for marriage, force it. Some of the best advice that I have ever been given was when an old man told me, "Make sure you marry someone who takes marriage seriously because then you'll learn that it's not the love that keeps your marriage strong but it's your marriage that keeps your love strong. A person that deeply loves God will have too much respect for the Holy Covenant to steer you wrong." I sat back & thought, that makes way too much sense.

My opinion, Tiger was one of those guys who didn't take his marriage serious enough. His wife might not have either, but who knows really? There is no reason for people to say, "Tiger should be stripped of all of his titles." Even though character is important in life, he's getting paid for playing a sport. He didn't break a law so he really owes us nothing. The only people that deserve any sort of apology are, his wife, his kids, his family & his endorsers. I might add his fans on there too (which obviously includes everyone) but that's just a gentlemanly thing to do. #TigerShouldSay "You said you were in it for better or for worse. BISH IT'S WORSE RIGHT NOW!"

Am I Missing the Underlying Theme?

I listen to a nice variety of music and one of my favorites is alternative rock. So I'm on twitter right...and sometimes when it gets late people get the feelin a certain way then #twitterafterdark pops up out of nowhere. So then songs about sex scrolled through my head & my mental scroll stopped on this one. Pay close attention.

I really didn't expect you to watch the whole video, but let me talk my shiz anyway. I'm walking around thinking this song is tight and catchy, singing, "YOUR SEX IS ON FIIRRRREEE!!!" BUT, it ain't a stitch of coochie in the whole video. It's hella dudes with long hair holding this grown man down on a gurney (I spelled that right without the spell check. Akeelah & The Bee on yo Bishass BOOYAH!). Anyways...isn't that extremely homo-erotic? The only visually exciting part of the video came when dude was eating a chicken wing & that's only because us niggas love some chicken. From now on, I'm gonna go back to my usual music dissecting self so I wont sing about man sex being on fire.

Go Go Power Rangers!

Growing up I was a huge fan of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangerrrrrsss. Right this moment, I just found out they dropped the 'g' in Morphing just for the show. And you wonder why we don't talk good in America. Besides spotting bad spelling, this extra decade and a half of life helped me see the real opinion of the people in charge of everything you're exposed to in the media. My Grandma use to buy me hella Disney movies & other cartoon & kid movies when I was younger, but my mom didn't let me watch one video because it was something in a daffy duck cartoon that was blatantly racist. Til this day I still don't know what it was because we lost track of quite a few VHS'.

Today when I look back at the "Scavengers" in Pocahontas, how Goofy from Goof Troop was supposed to be black, & in our first "Genuine Black Disney Movie" the characters are poor!!! It makes you sit back & say...WTF?!?!? Seriously? I mean so little Tiana couldn't be a human the whole movie or get a Prince that had money? She couldn't get the Cinderella treatment? Why did she have to borrow her rich white friend's dress to look pretty? Where was her fairy godmother?

As you can see, this is not new at all & its not old enough to be played out yet. Back to one of my most favorite childhood memories...I understand why I didn't catch the symbolism of having a Black Black Ranger, an Asian Yellow Ranger, a super cool White Ranger & so on & so forth, but how did my parents allow me to jump off the couch acting like Jason the red ranger? Is it cool that I wanted to be the lead ranger? (I would've been the white ranger, but we couldn't find the costume) Should I just have been Zach (that's how its spelled on my power ranger sheets) or would it just be enforcing that pawn in a chess world stereotype? Either way it goes, somebody finally attacked the racist background of the show and they did a pretty good job.

TATTED UP! TATTED UPPPPP! TATTED UPPPPP! *Fabo Voice*

Wiz Khalifa

I'll first make it known, I do not have any tattoos at all. I don't plan on getting any in the near or distant future. I don't want to get a cross tatted on me, my mom's name, future kid's name, Obama's face, Jessica Lucas' titties, or any other form of text or art that you can think of on my body. You probably think I'm a lame for that, but I stopped being concerned about the opinions of other people about seven years ago. I seriously counted on my fingers to figure the exact number of years, so I'm serious. I cannot trick myself into getting tatted because I know that I get tired of stuff real quick. I would imagine that I would get a creative & deep philosophical quote that would be [arguably] timeless, but it's not worth the money.

When I was a little dude the only people that I heard of getting tats were people who were in the military, prison, a gang or they were hoes. Times have changed. Now, it seems like the majority of people I know have tats or plan on getting one. My response to that, DO YOU! Just make sure you're being smart about it. As long as your career is ok with you getting inked in the middle of your fo'head, go ahead and do it if you want to. If you a chick, and you think yo man will be cool if you get that good ol' stamp on your lower back...go ahead and do it. If you would be cool with your mom walkin around with a "Slippery When Wet" Tat, go ahead and do the same thing if you want.

To sum it up, if you choose to permanently mark your body just try to make it meaningful, be wise and don't bank on tattoo removal being extremely advanced and affordable like this chick will when she wakes up from her hangover in the morning. I'm sure her family is proud.

Happy V-Day

My mom is one of the few unselfish women left in the universe (I chose universe because women that are in space right now are most likely selfish along with the rest of the women on this planet). Yeah she got me this schweet card that had this song playing on the inside of it:

I don't really have a smooth transition, but I really like this pic. I made it my FB profile pic around V-Day last year and the year before.

BGC | Crimson Chin & Friends

Aight lemme get this out. I WATCH BAD GIRLS CLUB!!!

This ain't the first season either, but I saw almost every episode this season. Let me just say if my chick said that she was going on the show I would immediately break up with her. The point of the show is to ho out of control on camera for 15 minutes of fame. I'll admit in many ways I'm old fashion so I'm not down with the slore species, but I will watch.

First I gotta address Portia. She was the first out the house for fighting. The chick with the sturdiest chin you've ever seen your life, Natalie talked about Portia's child. I was wondering why a chick with kids would be on the show anyway. Fortunately she didn't get a chance to embarrass herself, her child and the rest of her family.

Secondly I'll jump to the chick a lot of people have a problem with...Kendra. This young lady has an affiliation with an organization that I will leave unnamed in this blog out of respect. Speaking of respect, that's one thing Kendra doesn't have for herself or anyone else. She blames her promiscuous ways on her high sex drive and what she does apparently doesn't matter because she's 22 and not 26 like Flo. Maturity?

On to Flo. She's the bisexual chick from New York and she's hella aggressive. They're in the uppity part of L.A. so the dudes don't like chicks like her, but the chicks like chicks like her so that's the only way she gets action. She's always talking about how she is watching out for the other girls to make sure they don't look like sluts. She does do that, and that's the right thing to do, but her intentions are way off. The girls are right, Flo is jealous of the attention the other girls get so she tries to stop the hoes from getting their ho on so she wont get hornier than she already is.

Kate dated this dude named Paul. He hella down to earth, and she slutted around with her bff so he dropped her. #Kudos to my dude. Last episode she had swine flu. You remember in the bible when it says "You reap what you sow"? God never lies *serious face*

Amber is one chick you would not think would date a black dude, but she does. I don't know much about her, but she popped up one episode and pushed Flo in the pool. Flo tossed her like she was the Big Show or something. Amber went on to party hard and had her legs wrapped around some nig, but dude had a fiancé IN THE CLUB! And she was a straight NIGGA! #nolie [pause| How niggas get the nerve to airf**k a random snow in the club when yo gangsta fiancé just a few yards away. You don't know that blonde hair and blue eyes flying in the air is the city version of a flair? |unpause] So as you can guess, Amber got her head knocked in, she ain't cry tho & the Crimson Chin came to her rescue. After the fight was broken up they got the talkin again. So she told her dude what she did and he set her straight, but he came up there. Surprisingly he a cool brotha. Who woulda thunk it?

Oh yeah, Annie is not a bad girl. She's just irritating as hell.

I can't forget Lexie. She's just a party girl from Belleville.

They claim that the purpose of this show and all them hoes in one big house is for them to grow. That's like telling a sex addict to chill out in a brothel for a few months to get over his addiction. Flo said it best, "This F***in house got the f***in devil in it!" The problem is, I thought that was the point. Get a group of girls with bad attitudes in one house, get them drunk and get them in whatever club or bar they want...Oh, don't forget the limo because we need a designated driver so they'll get even more drunk.

I think the point of this show is all out entertainment. Make sure the girls have loud voices and low self-esteems so we can tape the demoralizing fun.

RepoMen

There have been hella movies about Organ harvesters. Midnight Meat Train, Turistas, Hostel & many more, but those were all about young (arguably) attractive people taking a vacation, then carelessly stumble into a surgeon with a clever tongue that sways the group into a trap that miraculously always only one person can get out of. But this seems different, for one, my dude Forrest Whittaker is doing the organ harvesting. A straight brotha collect these unsuspected victims. Big ups to my negro amigo, and for two I didn't catch any accents so I'm assuming its in the States. Either way, I'm expecting a great movie.

#AintThatBoutaBitch

"#AintThatBoutaBitch The Game got cancelled.." -Tia Mowry (Almost called her Tia Landry)

I remember chicks always talking about watching The Game, and I always wondered whoTF the San Diego Sabres were. Throughout college I only set aside time for Heroes, the Dahani Jones show, and Smallville with my Salvadorian bestie. It wasn't until this past Summer that I started watching a lot of TV & I stumbled across a grown version of Sister Sister divided by two. It turns out this show had a great balance of comedy, drama & a childhood star that grew up to be a very fine specimen of a woman.

Since I got so intrigued by the show I had to make sure I watched the reruns daily up until the full marathon. But BET was playin and didn't show the finale, so my twam @suchneffnLADY told me the episodes were on Youtube. Here's a link to Season 3.

SPOILER

Toward the end of the finale when girl Melanie was walking down the aisle to marry Derwin, I started getting the feeling that I haven't felt since watching Jett Jackson & wanting to steal Lee Thompson Young's role so I could save Kayla over and over again. Immediately after that I got sangry (fusion of sad and angry) because this would be the end. I spent a few months trailing this whole show wondering if I was Jerome or not, and tweeting away talking about how grimy Melanie got and how messed up Derwin's situation was. I was completely drawn in and then left hanging, possibly forever, and given Girl Mel...I mean Tia's tweet it more than likely will be forever.

But with every great thing you want more of it, but more of it is usually never the best thing for you. I remember after watching The Wood over and over, I thought up a plot for a sequel. It was really good too for a fan of the movie, but now that I think about it, a sequel might not have been the best thing. How many movies have had good sequels? Go ahead, I'll let you think about it.......Now think about how many sequels sucked monkey nuts. You can think of a lot more can't you? The thing with great shows like Seinfeld, Martin, Friends, and Boy Meets World they always end on top. Whether they choose to end or not, the ending is a beautiful disaster. You love that you get that happily ever after, but you hate that you don't get to live on with the characters you grew close to. Disney has mastered it, if you end a story at its peak you will keep fans forever. This may have been involuntary, but The Game has gained many many more permanent fans. "You know fat meat greasy." *Tasha Mack voice*

Blade Is Back

It has been a tough time for Hollywood. A lot of illegal downloading, bootlegging has improved a lot, and redbox has been dominating the market for rentals. I have Zombieland popped in right now. If you haven't seen it, you're losing in life right now. But anyways, times have been even harder for Black Hollywood, just ask Cuba Gooding Jr. His last movie to hit theaters was American Gangster, and that wasn't even his movie. [Pause| Zombieland has one of the greatest intros that I've seen.|Unpause] He starred in 9 straight to DVD movies since then, did one voice-over for The Land Before Time, & has 3 more soon to be straight to DVD movies on the way this year. It has been a long journey for this Oscar winner, eh? He wasn't the only one though.

One person that may have had a it a little worse is Wesley Snipes. On top of his recent lack of success since Blade Trinity (if you call that success at all) he had a little problem with his taxes. He actually could have gotten 16 years in prison, but got it reduced to a few misdemeanors. Well he has finally crawled out from the cracks of the earth and made it back to the big screen. He's acting right alongside my favorite actor Don Cheadle.

But outside of being a perv watching Serena's booty booty butt cheeks swaying across the Tennis court I was a fan of Andy Roddick. Why you ask? Not because chicks like him, but because he comes to play with the St. Louis Aces every year, so I deem him a hometown guy. Well my boy Andy Roddick got even more cool to me. Check this out...

Draft Pool

So in the past couple of years for some reason the Kardashians have become extremely popular. Even though they aren't A-List celebrities they stir up a lot of news. We all know about the Ray-J & Kim flick, but seriously why are they famous? <--- Not rhetorical

I understand that it was proven Kim K's Buttocks ≥ Precious' Gut, but either way she's worthless. Look:

This is Kim (in the pink, surprised?) taking a pounding without doing anything, just like in the Superstar vid. A powerless and defenseless woman is only fun for about 3 or 4 weeks tops, after that she's just a walking blow up doll with too much upkeep.

On the other hand you have Khloe Kardashian. Most people deem her the ugly sister, but if you pay close attention she may be less attractive, but did you see her boxing warm up? Can you say Laila Ali Jr? What about the video she wants to make for Lamar Odom? She's a proactive woman, a pleaser. I actually think that the value of Kim Kardashian dropped a lot after the flick & she's close to the same level as Khloe because I imagine that Khloe will do a whoooollle lot more to the dangle when she gets her hands or any other body part on it.

I'm kinda old fashioned so I eventually want to settle down, get married & pop out some kids (not me, but my future wife...they call that us like "we're having a baby"). I don't mess with that divorce stuff and I can't be the dude stuck with a Hindenburg booty that only looks good, but can't please me. I'm going out on the limb and saying out of the Kardashian pool, Lamar got the better deal. He even got his own commercial out of it.

I understand Reggie Bush just got a good ole SuperBowl ring, but we all know the real Saints RB is Pierre Thomas. Lets face it, Kim is the Sam Bowie of her family.

Yum...Onion

Fuh-Reel?

I never was the type to use this term, but since my vocabulary is hella small I'll whip it out...RATCHET. I spent my four years in HS in a 98% black school in the North County of St. Louis. I too was fooled into thinking that anything with 'county' in the title was white-washed and entirely out of touch suburban. I came from North St. Louis City and got that rude awakening when I stepped on the bus to go to school & the school bus population was 100% negroid. And not just black, but everybody was from North City like me. Well I was still different from everybody (in my opinion, which is the only one that matters) but I listened to most of the same music & tossed on the XXXL Tee's and Jerseys to go to school.

Ever since I made the transition to a 7% (give or take, but most likely take) negroid university, my style & music changed. I began to look at people different. Most people call it judging and I'd say they're right. It was like the coon curtains that I call eyelids finally opened up so I can see the truth.

I'll just cut straight to the point...have you ever seen somebody your same race and then get embarrassed, just downright ashamed? Well I have...

How could I not notice this? This made 'Birth of A Nation' look like a Disn...wait uhh Pix...uhh never mind you know what I mean.

Ayo, Lupe is probably my favorite artist right now. He's the artist I relate most to. He on that pave my own way because I don't like yours...JUST LIKE ME!

Enjoy!

Don't Make This a Fad

Every time a crisis comes up, celebrities do a lot to bring attention to the situation. In too many cases that attention is only for that celebrity's benefit. Everybody made sure they hopped on the Obama gear, dropped a line about Hurricane Katrina, & rocked a LiveStrong Bracelet, but don't let Haiti become a fashion statement. Don't let a serious situation become a fad. Keep them in the front of your brain for a while to come.

Poplar Bluff's Very Own

If you even sort of follow professional basketball you know who Tyler Hansbrough is. I kinda hated on him because he beat Vashon during his Senior year in HS. Apparently since he was a top recruit people said that the refs favored him most of the time, and I believe(d) them, henceforth me not being a Hansbrough fan. He went on to have a great college career, but that 6'9"250lbs Center in college had to transform into a 6'9" 225lbs Power Forward, and might I say it was an awkward transition. About as awkward as this pic here:

Time To Take Flite

I can't really say much about this...I think he says enough.



Lil Dude is a pretty good rapper too...he reminds me of a Lil Lupe Fiasco

Cupid

This video is three years old now, but I still like it. Jay Legaspi's cover of 112's Cupid. Check his skills.

Runnin a Train on Your Eyeballs

So apparently Mizzou is tryna get a Tiger to be on the sideline at their football games. I heard the upkeep for a Tiger is a lot, and they can't just keep it on a leash because it's too big. Oh, and you'll have to be careful about the Tiger getting loose and mauling the audience, but I say...if you teach it to rip off your opponents faces its all good. Look on the bright side, they'll get more recruits.

I know these are lions, but I like this drawing. It looks more like sex than fighting/killing.

My bff Alex made this nice lil logo you see now at the top of the page. He made this pic you see here too (that's him). As you can see he's a wiz with the computer graphics, but he's a great photographer too. Check him out at http://www.alexqha.com/

V-Day

I stole this from @ESPN_theOcho:

9x - 7i > 3(3x - 7u) solve for i

My mom raised me to be a gentleman so when I was in elementary school I always had to buy candy & give cards to every girl in class (yes, even the ugly ones). I fault her for making me the young man that I am today...romantic as a mug #90stweet. I was rarely in a relationship around V-Day, but even though I was happily single I ended up getting gifts for female friends. I remember my senior year in High School I had a lady friend (I claimed her as "wifey" but since I thought I was going out of state for college I didn't want to commit and have to break up because I don't eff with that long distance stuff) that I felt obliged to get something for so I got her a lil sumn sumn. On top of the nice lil gift I got her, I made sure I filled out the form at lunch to send her a little valentines day carnation. While I was filling it out, one of the chicks monitoring the forms said, "Send me a carnation & I'll send you one too." Like a sucka I said, "ok." (That was an extra dollar by the way) I also remembered, I can't leave out my Jr year Valentine so I sent her one too since we were cool and whatnot.

So V-Day comes & I'm sitting in the band room (yeah I played the trumpet) and the carnations come in. I'm thinking, since I sent out three I'll get three back right? WRONG!!! Guess how many I got.....ZERO!!! To make it worse, my "wifey" asked me if I wanted one of her 8 carnations. Of course, I declined.

After that I asked Miss Reciprocity aka Miss You give me one I'll give you one, what happened to my carnation. She responded, "Oh, my bad I forgot...you want some of my V-Day Candy?" I declined even though I wanted to heal my wounds with little milk chocolate balls.

Moral to this story: Women are extremely selfish on Valentines Day & hopefully you're blessed enough to find one that is only excessively selfish on one or two days out the year. Oh, and make sure you remind your lady that March 14th is Steak & Blowjob day. You reap what you sow.

Similac

I guess a little intro is necessary for my first blog ever. So uhm... My name is Mike. Good enough?

I never thought I was consistent enough to maintain a blog, but I'm giving it a shot anyway. Twitter is more my style because I never focus on one thing at a time.

What to expect:

• Music
• Youtube Videos
• Laughs
• Arrogance
• Stuff about Food
• Talkin about Twitter
• Coonery
• Rap doesn't sound as cool as hip-hop
• Yeah, thats about it

The Similac represent me being new to this whole blogging thing and if you didn't realize it you might be too slow to catch my sarcastic humor, but don't let that discourage you. I need followers.
