Historically I'm a light sleeper, a person who can be easily awakened by something as subtle as a television channel being changed or the vibrations a bed makes when a lover decides to make an early morning bathroom stop - that's why some of the harshest curse words exit my urban pie-hole whenever a person takes it upon themselves to interrupt my nocturnal emissions in a rather violent fashion. My guess is that my hatred of said practice started in the early 90's, I'd be nestled so snugly in my Michael Jordan bedsheets trying to take advantage of every ounce of sleep I could get before going through the daily minutiae of High School. My mother, a woman's who's voice was severely damaged due to a heart surgery 40 years prior - would pound on my door like she was a member of L.A.P.D's gang unit and would proceed to absolutely screech the following: "HumanityCritic!!!! Get your nappy-headed ass out of bed before I tell your friends that the mailman is your father! Just ask yourself why we get our mail before anyone else?" My "non letter carrying" father wasn't much better, his way of waking me up either had to do with him threatening me with "I'll strangle you with your small intestines motherfucker!" violence or having my face mushed into my pillow the way Ice Cube did that young woman in the "It was a Good day" video. Suffice it to say, the better part of 20 years have been spent angrily growling like a rabid dog at whoever dare wake me up with anything north of a gentle whisper or slight nudging - so lets just say that the past two weeks have prompted your favorite blogger to let out an expression of anger that only members of PETA and bestiality enthusiasts the world over could recognize.(Read more here)

My daily attempt to resurrect Hip Hop: Doug E. Fresh & The Get Fresh Crew - "Keep Rising To The Top"
Keep Rising To The Top - Doug E. Fresh & The Get Fresh Crew

Not to tug on anyone's emotional heartstrings here, but I get the sneaking suspicion that I will go through my entire life without ever knowing what it feels like to gleefully jump a broom with my soul-mate - and it has nothing to do with my addiction to strippers and emotionless sex against my muscle-car either. I just think, before I get on one knee to propose to the love of my life, or I have some waiter figure out a n innovative way to fit an overpriced ring into a fortune cookie - I'm certain that I will scare her off with my Hip Hop idiosyncrasies. For example, every time I've ever been to an "all you can eat" buffet - I flashback to the Fat Boys in the movie "Krush Groove" and start pointing at food while beat-boxing: "Give me a poo-poo-pat-poo-poo-poo-pat, and a poo-hahahahaha-poo-poo" Every time I hear Big Daddy Kane's "Set it off", regardless where I'm at - when he gets to the part where he says "..so lets all sing the Big daddy anthem", I put my hand on my heart and stand at attention for the remainder of the song. Thanks to this Doug E Fresh video, every time I'm in a dance club I find myself doing his signature "hand-swipe around the head" move - and you better believe when I give someone a pound, I yell out "Shalom"

"Call me Naive, but I sorta believe!"(Vibe.com)
Barack Obama: "The Chicago Way"
Barack Obama this morning: "I think that Senator Clinton, obviously, is a formidable and tough candidate, and we have to make sure that we take it to them just like they take it to us. I come from Chicago politics. We're accustomed to rough and tumble."
That's exactly what I've been waiting for, I'm down with him giving inspirational speeches about unifying the electorate because its surely a vote getter - but sometimes you just have to chin-check a motherfucker to keep them honest. If it isn't Bill shamelessly lying about Obama's stance on the war, his claim that Hillary is tougher than Nelson Mandela, Hillary suggesting that a vote for Obama will provoke terrorist attacks - or her insulting people's intelligence by giving LBJ most of the credit for the Civil Rights movement - a full frontal political assault is long overdue. Lets see if he learned anything from his days in Chi-town, having Sean Connery giving you political advice can't be the worst thing in the world.
Man, FUCK Ron Paul!(Vibe.com)
