Cant Fool Me! (The Dreaded Future)

"I might look kinda funny/but I aint no fool!!!" - Andre 3000 (Outkast) "Synthesizer"

Get ya asses ready! The Government is coming for you! I peeped a commerical today where some business offers to implant a tiny tiny tiny chip in your dog should you ever lose him. On the surface this may just seem like the latest in technology. The commerical promises the procedure is non-intrusive, and it wont be uncomfortable to the dog. In fact the chip will be implanted via a needle much like the shots the dog would need to be healthy or whatever.

Yall know they testing that shit on dogs before they move it to humans, right? My guess is that when they take the baby away to wash it after birth they'll also slide the chip into the baby or some shit. Yeah.....I'll be opting for natural child birth at the crib. Fuck all that! They already got the streetlight camera jumpoffs all over the hood. Now with the chip they wont need to be so obvious. Shit is scary son! Eventually with the chip in place they'll be able to watch and control you Im sure. Makes sense, dont it?

Its finna be new age, New World Order shit in a hot sec yall. Remember in the Goodie Mob's video for "Cell Therapy" when Big Gipp went to buy the fish and instead of paying cash, they just scannned his hand? How'd the line go? "Tag my skin with your computer chip/Run your hand over tha scanner to buy you dish now/No more fishing for your fish!" Yup! Shit is realer than real it seems.

I did a quick google search. Peep these sites......

The Rules......you're to write 6 revealing, strange/quirky things about yourself on your blog and then tag 6 people to do the same....

1. My 2nd grade teacher Ms. Bradley would make me sit under her desk when I was bad. I didnt consider that to be punishment on the days she wore a skirt though.

2. I power walk/race unsuspecting people ALLLLLLL the time.

3. The last time I pee'd in the bed I was 23!!! I had the most vivid dream ever in which I was standing over the toilet, but then I awoke to found I had been dreaming. Needless to say, my brother still wont let me live that down.

4. I always trim my pubic hair the night before taking a flight.

5. As nice as I am most times...the people who really know me know that I can be one mean asshole when Im in my mood.

6. If I were to ever be in a coma or severely injured, etc. I want someone to have the decency to

"Nigga What? Nigga Who?"

See what had happened was.....I made a list, right? And in this list I cut and pasted the definition of the word Nigger as published in the online version of Oxford's dictionary. I was simply making light of the fact that they basically warned white people that although some of us use the word amongst ourselves, they would still do best to leave the word alone all together. I found that a bit funny. Go see......

http://teejsays.blogspot.com/2006/02/theres-nothing-better-than-love-list.html

So what had happened was.....this particular blog was passed along by and to various people when it found its way overseas to a brother named Neil. Neil wasnt having it!! Yo, he straight up contacted Oxford and gave 'em the business! I aint mad atcha brother Neil. To paraphrase Neil....he basically told Oxford that first of all they were wrong to generalize and state that the word 'has begun to be used by black people as a mildly disparaging or ironically affectionate way of referring to other black people' , when in fact, for the most part it is used by the youth and music culture. Not all black people. Secondly, when the term is used amongst ourselves it is almost always 'nigga' and not 'nigger'. And thirdly, where the fuck do they get off referring to us as 'black people' anyways? We thought the PC term was 'African American'. Get it right punks!

Of course all that was me paraphrasing brother Neil. I must say he put it alot more elegantly. But the tripped out thing is they responded!......and promised to correct it!!!!! Peep........

Dear Neil,

Many thanks for contacting us about your concerns regarding the usage note for the word 'nigger' in the online Compact Oxford English Dictionary, which has been passed to me. I fully agree with the points you make: I think the note does come across as rather generalized and patronizing: in fact, the latest edition of the print Compact Oxford English Dictionary has revised this note to simply state 'The word nigger is very offensive and should not be used.'. Although this latest edition is not yet online, work is in progress to get this entry changed as soon as possible. I would assure you that we always treat sensitive or offensive vocabulary with great care and much thought: it is unfortunate that this note gave the wrong impression, as it was certainly not intended to sound patronizing or petulant. Thank you again for bringing this matter to our attention.

Yours sincerely,

Catherine Soanes

Well damn Gina! Sho'nuff on the get down! I damn near started a revolution. Okay not really, but still....this is crazy. Again I aint mad at Neil for taking action for something he believed in. Let it be a lesson to us all.

They Fucking Won?!?!!?!?

Eddie Murphy once told a joke about how when Jesse Jackson ran for president it would have been funny if all the crazy white people decided to vote for him just for the hell of it, and he ended up winning and then when they sobered up they'd be all in shock and shit like "He fucking won!?!?!"

Well a moment much like that has happened as far as Im concerned. Memphis rap act Three 6 Mafia has won a fucking Oscar for Best Original Song! Yup....the same Three 6 Mafia that has given us such timeless classics as "Hit A Muthafucka", "Elbow A Nigga", "Slob On My Knob", "Blow A Nigga's Ass Off", "Hoes Can Be Like Niggas", "Azz & Tittiez", "Let's Start A Riot" and of course "They Bout To Find Yo Body" will now go down in the anals of history as the first rap act to ever perform at the Oscars, and the 2nd to actually fucking win one. (Eminem won the 1st ever for "Lose Yourself" a couple years ago, but he dont count!)

*This is where I shake my head*

Is this a big joke? Did the people who vote on this shit do this as a mistake? Did they jokingly decided to use their individual vote to vote for them thinking no one else would? This just cant be life people! And let me say that I am not hating on Three 6 Mafia. Ive met them. They are cool dudes and all....but "It's Hard Out Here For A Pimp"????????? I mean sure...I suppose the song was/is important to the story and all, but that's not the representation I want in 75 years when most of us are not here and they look back on this moment.



"For anyone keeping record," Host Jon Stewart said later, "Martin Scorsese, zero Oscars. Three 6 Mafia, one."

What's funny is....I actually wore my Three 6 Mafia promo sweater today b/c I was in a rush to leave the house and it was right there. So I guess in a weird twisted way....this is all my fault.

I apologize.

Essentially

Now I've only been doing this concierge thing full time for about a month and a half or so but.....Im more or less pretty sure that the word 'Concierge' essentially means to get shit for white people.
