ANOTHER 10 Weird Facts About Me

*People keep tagging me and I keep sharing more and more TMI with yall.*

1. If I bump into something (wall, door jam) I always tell it outloud to 'Get off me!' and if I drop something I tell it 'Your mother is an astronaut!"

2. My brother and I stayed directly across the street from our grammar school for a number of years....coincidentally we were both tardy more than times than any person who stayed across the street from their school shoulda been.

3. I've always wanted to try cocaine, but Im afraid I will have a fatal heart attack or brain hemorage and die if I do so I wont.

4. When I was 5, my cat named Ty scratched me. I didnt quite know how to manage my anger then. I repeatedly threw Ty against a wall til my mama came and stopped me. I realize this was wrong, but I was mad. Ty ended up with a broke leg and brain damage. Sorry. I still have the scar on my elbow though.

5. I have a music quote tucked away in my head for pretty much ANY situation that could ever occur in this here life.

6. There was this one time when I was like 7 or so and my babysitter who I had a huge crush on had her friends over. They were chilling in the living room and I had to use the bathroom which was adjacent to the living room. Somehow I had it in my mind that they would associate the length of time that I pee'd with the length of my joint......as if they were even paying attention to me peeing.

7. I once threw something at my cousin in the house, missed him and broke a window. I was soooo not trying to tell my mama that I threw something and broke the window. I went outside and gathered every single sliver that I could and brought it back in the house and strategically placed the glass on the floor inside. Then I called the police, said someone threw a rock in from the outside, filled out a police report and got away with it.

8. As I type this shit at 1am I am eating a jumbo Kosher Dill pickle that I bought on a total impulse. At times I am bad about impulse buyer.

9. Im a grow-er and not a show-er.

10. As of late I've been having "The Pee Dream" alot. (You know....where you dream you are at the toilet so you let go. Do women have this dream?) Anyways, most times I catch myself. But there has been a time or two where.....eh, not so much.

Im Not Taking Up For Michael Vick But.....

.....America you are such a fucking hypocrite! (But what's new, right?)

Cruelty to animals is cruelty to animals. Period.

It is my suspicion that b/c Vick is being accused of harming America's favorite pet AKA 'Man's Best Friend' you are making the huge deal of this that you are. And that's not to downplay the things that he is accused of. From the sounds of it, it was some pretty inhumane shit going down but still......

If he were accused of say.....hunting deer w/o a license or some shit would he be okay? Is that what you're saying? You ever seen the movie 'Faces of Death'? The way that Cows, Chickens, Pigs and Fish are captured and tortured is no more better than what they say Vick and his boys did, but because we eat those things that's okay? Cosmetics and all other sorts of chemicals and shit are tested on animals daily....where is the big hoopla about that? I could go on but you get the point, right?

And then there are those who say Vick's playing career is finished b/c of this. Who would ever take a chance on a guy like him, right? GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE WITH THAT BULLSHIT! This is America!! The land of second chances! Just today there was a story in the paper about a Priest in downstate Illinois who was convicted of having sexual relations with 4 underage girls in 1996. He was sentenced to 9 yrs in prison, only served 5, but guess what? His ass got another mu'fuckin job preaching. Hell, his parishioners where more upset about his remarrying (b/c apparently Priest aren't supposed to do that!) than the fact that he had been convicted of molesting 4 underage girls. But I digress.

I hate the way some shit is taken and ran with and made a huge fucking deal over while other shit is not given the time of day. Dogfighting is not humane! Fucking shooting an animal for sport is not humane! Testing chemicals and shit on animals is not humane! Does PETA picket hunting clubs? When was the last protest in front of Estee' Lauder? But for a couple weeks you couldn't pull they ass from in front of the Falcons' training camp facility.

So whats the difference America? And why aren't you all up in arms over THAT shit that happens every single day?

P.S. There is a whole 'nother angle of Vick being a superstar black athlete that I coulda used in writing this but I chose not to go there although I think it's worth mentioning b/c you gotta wonder what the coverage of this would be like if he weren't a SBA.
