One of Those Days...

...And it just happens to be one of my Kathleen Hanna/Riot Grrrl days where i can't stop listening to Bikini Kill/Le Tigre/Bratmobile/Sleater-Kinney, etc. It always puts me right back into the "i don't give a fuck/i wish it was still the 90s" mode.

Boredom.

So my friends officially think I've lost it. Maybe I have. But they don't understand my "new winter hobby", Tiny Terrarium building, is a joke. I think they're cute and hilarious. They think its freakish and disgusting. Apparently it's just a jar of dirt, but i see condensation and life sprouting about. Plus, I'm bored. No, its not weed!

Sunday Afternoon Flashbacks

It's raining in NY. Disgusting, I know. I can't wait to get back to the South for a visit. Until then, Al Green always helps me stay connected. Here's one of my favorite Al Green songs of all time:

Stuck in My Head: Finally Friday Jams

You know when you hear a song, and it pretty much stays stuck in your head for the rest of the night, or the rest of the weekend for that matter? Well, MGMT is catchy as shit, and I’m a sucker for the dance jams, so this one will forever be a favorite. Here are the videos to “Electric Feel” and “Kids.”

MGMT - “Electric Feel”

Why Can’t I Touch It??

This is what happens at 3 am. Someone asks me to reminisce about my childhood, and ultimately this is what automatically pops in my head.  Tomorrow’s Mission: Finding Grape Soda.

This Holiday Season

My favorite holiday is almost upon us. No, not Christmas. I've never felt as if I could identify with a holiday contradictory of its religious meaning. KWANZAA is my favorite holiday. There is nothing sweeter than spending seven days discussing Black Self-determination, liberation, and politics. Here's a video of the explanation of Kwanzaa. Gotta love this lady's enthusiasm.

Jim Jones + Twitter = Brilliance

Everytime I catch a glimpse of Jim Jones and his vernacular in my live tweet feed, it makes me gleeful. And I bring prime examples of why Jim Jones makes my day brighter, one tweet at a time:

My Love for Nicki Minaj...

Obviously the problematic imagery and thought floating through the hip hop community and rap music, but for some reason, I love Nicki Minaj. She's not politically correct herself, but she is bad as hell. And hilarious. Watch as she holds her own:
