Apple's IPhone recently released an app designed to organize confessions and "examine conscience." No, the phone won't grant you forgiveness. Confession: The Roman Catholic App is meant to be used while in confession. You enter your "sins" and the app also personally examined conscience, I suppose based upon what you will/have confessed.
Not being Roman Catholic I have to respect the need to confess sins and be granted forgiveness. But I don't see many benefits of this app. And what they mean examination of conscience EXACTLY? Wouldn't that be a form of JUDGMENT?
But the Church is apparently backing it, claiming it may help people get through their confessional and also bring new lapsed followers back to the faith.
Here's the video
Check out this great MSN video: Catholic Church Approves Confessional App
I have a feeling this technology may indeed help but may also weaken the sincerity of people's worship. To be able to flip out your phone in confessional is a bit much to me. Lol Black churches should create a testimony app. I'd like to hear the opinions of people who are of Catholic faith...how will technology effect the worship?

EHow explains the "Ghetto Hairstyle"...interesting...
"Bald head skoochie rat/yo hair can't touch ya back/perm,gel, and weave it/You really need it."
That's a throwback chant/song kids used to sing as an insult to girls with short hair. Or the ones who claimed their hair was longer "when you pressed it out" or "when it's wet." You remember the little girls tugging at that back piece of hair to show their true "length." Lol. Maybe it's a "Black thing." Oh yes, there will be quotes. I'm quoting the shit outta this topic.
I brought all that up to reflect how hair influences the Black community even from a young age. Lol I still have salon shop nightmares of burning scalp and hours under a dryer...in a booster seat. So now that I'm grown I've realized how the importance of hair plays a role in my race and around the world. Example...there's 2 hair salons within 3 blocks of me that stay open later than the 3 liquor stores not too far from them. THE HELL YOU DOIN GETTIN A WRAP DONE AT 1 IN THE MORNING GURRRRL KILL YOSELF.
It's really time we understood what our fascination with our hair is doing to our image.
Ask 5 white people what a ghetto girl looks like. Bet 5 dollars "weave" is going to come up. However all women who wear weaves aren't "ghetto"...and all "ghetto" women don't wear weaves.
So I wasn't surprised...simply disappointed when I came across an article on EHow entitled "Short Black Ghetto Hairstyles." I mean I was in awe...someone is gonna teach ME how to get a short black ghetto hairstyle! WOW!
I'll pause here so you can read the article yourself. It's important you read the article yourself!
Short Black Ghetto Hairstyles | eHow.com
Did you read it? I know right??!!
The first sentence got me lol, "One of the most popular hair styles for black hair is the ghetto look." I'm gonna just leave that one alone. I'm gonna put it down, and step back.
Then it goes into the "types" of styles...cuz we only got 3 right?? THEN it mentioned cornrows not needing to be redone for several weeks...several?? Naw son.
Cuz any "ghetto" person knows after about 2 solid weeks them boys get to itching, new growth is coming in, and it's near times for a washing. Otherwise the braids will look like (and I quote) "a head full of roaches having a meeting," I once heard a "ghetto" gentlemen talking to a woman with not so kept cornrows. Nah mean?
Let's keep it real, everyone has their perception of what ghetto is, especially when it comes to hair. But know that all the trouble Black women go through to look fly...is most of the time looked at as plain ghetto.
Now I've seen some ridiculous ass styles in my lifetime but it's probably chicks out there looking at my hair in the same way. You do what you feel, be proud of what you workin with. Just don't let your hair OWN you. When it's bout 2 degrees outside...put on a hat. If you wear a scarf those curls and flips just might stay. Don't spend rent/bill/childcare/important shit money on keeping ya do did. You lookin fly but you BROKE. That's triflin.
I could go on but I'm tired. I just wanted to share a little piece of the outside world's eyes on a main element in my community...hair. The global influence our culture has had on hair is as huge as locs and kinks as it is weaves and perms. WORD.
By the way, the article was written by Rebekah Worsham...well since we on stereotypes I'll just go on and say it. Sounds like a white chick nicknamed Bekah to me. Maybe she has some cool Black friends...

Lindsay Lohan Hits a Lick @ Jewelry Store!!
AWW snap...this girl done done it again! Lindsay can't seem to stay away from the pen! Maybe this time she'll have to serve a full sentence. LOL what's that like 13 hours?
For the complete story head to WGN news website by clicking below:
Lindsay Lohan Jewelry: Reports Say Lindsay Lohan To Be Charged With Felony - WGN
My thoughts:
Seriously I really hope Lindsay Lohan doesn't get time 4 stealing a necklace;jail isn't teaching this broad shit. They should attach an anti-theft lock to the necklace and make her wear it all the time,forever.On some Twilight Zone type stuff she'll be nuts in like 3 months. That'll teach her. That's right, make her sleep in it, screw in it, shower in it...wear it with outfits that doesn't match! Justice needs to start getting a little creative.

Damn it's been a minute!
Working hard or hardly working? Pick one, that's my reason for absence.
I also must admit wurms, I become complacent with my laziness especially in non-stressful times in my life. So it's kinda a positive; I can't really complain about much.
On a PERSONAL level, that is.
As far as society, I've almost given up. I've stepped inside of my drama free bubble (all I do is work, chill, and my relationship is sweet. So it's not much to sweat about in here.) so it's become almost difficult to understand and empathize with the common day problems. I know it sounds selfish but when you've arrived at that point of complete FUCK-IT-ISM (say it with me) you realize how petty all those "big deals" were before.
Within the past 8 months I've seen 2 friends pass, 2 more get pregnant (circle of life), prices go up, # of small businesses go down, 95% of the US covered in snow,2 Black candidates argue over crack, random dead birds falling from the sky and fish floating to the surface,Egypt in political ruins...oh I could go on for days.
Not to mention the issues that seem to repeat themselves in my community. There's still a ridiculous boom of single mothers, abusive or absent fathers, more police corruption than service, total neglect from the city and aldermen, rampant drug addiction, senseless violence and moreover the victims and aggressors are getting younger and younger.
Anyone can relate. It's fucked up everywhere lol. But if you can find that lil spark of light in a room of shadows don't let it burn out. Your ability to see beyond the negativity is the strength needed to help the rest of your environment do the same.
People aren't happy anymore. Most don't even know what would make them happy even if they had a chance to be. Whether it's their childhood or life experience, some people let society decide what will make them content, less fearful, and self-confident.
Our purpose has and always will create the path we travel to reach who we are right now.
Peace and blessings,
D.U.B.

Facebook-less Living...Niiiiiice
"OMG you're not on Facebook? Well I'll just Tweet you then."
I get into a conversation like this about 4 times a week. And no, I'm not on either.
You can't Facebook me, can't see my Twitter Tweets, and good luck on finding my MySpace...
do ppl still use MySpace?
All my wurms from way back know about my blog basically saying fuck Facebook. I must say I did contradict that by signing back on again. My intentions were to use Facebook for my business,my show,and my blog (of course!).
But then the need returned. THE NEED.
That's right, it had gotten to the point where I HAD to Facebook again. Where every run-in with an old friend ended with "Just Facebook me...I'm on Twitter too!" Where every other or funny situation instantly became a "great Facebook status." Where I had over 800 friends when I can name no more than 20 I truly consider my ppl.
My pictures were mostly those of me at shows or parties, I don't live that life daily.
Honestly I like being in my apartment with my boyfriend or chilling lakeside with a few friends talkin shit. Facebook had started taking on a perspective of me that made me tired. Not to mention a daily reminder that my ex is still alive. BOOOOOO lol.
I'd forget to poke someone back, or read a note, or check my invites, or check my inbox, accept or decline an opportunity to grow a garden, sell drugs in NY, or be in a fake sorority...sounds funny, but alot of people started rating their level of friendship on these factors.
NOT TO MENTION THE DRAMA.
Every week I'm seeing someone close to me (and @ one time, myself) really get into it with someone else via messages or public statuses. It takes 2; the person to say the comment, and the other to say sumtin back. People are waaaaay too affected by words. Typed words.
Facebook takes away the personal contact. People say shit on there that they never would face to face. Some create images of lifestyles they don't live. And that's fucked up!
"Social Networking" is a bit vague if you ask me. Nevertheless I don't knock it, many ppl really do use it just for business, or recreation. But way too many try to fulfill the image created on this site, and others or use it as a tool to argue, flex muscle of the mouth, or just be a whiny sensitive little bitch! (Cmon, everyone's been a WSLB at least once or twice). Not to mention grown ass parents, grandparents, aunts and shit got more non-business-related issues on FB than their kids. But that's cool, right? Grow the fuck up.
So please excuse my absence from FB. This isn't to discourage anyone from using it, just re-evaluate how you use it if you find yourself constantly in the middle of drama, or simply doin too much! Use it to really connect to people, cuz we're slowly taking away the strong connection of really being with another person. I fear that one day everyone's memories will be something they saw on FB, or a Tweet they caught at lunch. I don't fear technology,just its effects.
So use the rest of this summer to really lilnk up with your friends. And if you're out of state, USE THE PHONE.
And if you find yourself within the beef that is a FB argument, remember this. ANY idiot can type a bunch of insulting words, but only the TRUE IDIOT will take those words to heart, and get offended. Whatever happened to sticks and stones?
Peace.

Na Palm...another Chicago artist on fiya!
Check out Napalm, str8 outta Chicago. Imagine a kick ass mix of hip hop, electronic, house, and funk all rolled up into one fly white boy. Check him out on Facebook, YouTube, and of course ReverbNation (one of my favs for local talent).
This single is blowing up YouTube! Start rockin to "Nay Is Like"
Support gotdammit! We gotta start being known for more than Lupe, Kanye, and Twista for once lol!
And please don't hate, yes it seems like he's trying a lil hard, but lyrically I give him his credit.
If niggas can support learning how to Dougie and hittin em with dat Flex they can support this. Hmph!

Now I REALLY feel like somebody's watchin me
Chicago Chicago Chicago...wtf man? First an oversized silver jelly bean and now a giant eyeball? Mayor Daley is just letting anything get setup to attract tourists. There's enough creepiness on State Street without a 30 foot eye checking me out. Ah well, I'm sure it was money well spent.
Ya know, with all the other shit we're being over charged for just to live here. Geez.
How is this thing fun to look at? And I want the truth...what can that eye REALLY see? Mmm hmm, I plan to remain suspicious.
Maybe next year the city will tweak out again and hang a big black penis from the Sears Tower. Get ya cameras ready!

Chicago Summer...starting to feel like hell.
So last week Jody Weiss, superintendent of the Chicago Police Department, stated that although the city has experienced headlining murders and other senseless crimes the overall rate of crime has decreased since last year...or 2008. I dunno.
I don't care.
So, because there's been a decrease that means things are getting better? Are these new figures including just school shootings, bus stop stabbings, drive by park air outs by the dozens sometimes in one weekend?
I dunno.
But I find it pompous for him to point out such a statistic without identifying the TYPE of violence that has decreased. The suspects are getting younger, and so are the victims. Was that considered?
AND if these figures are true, isn't it ironic that the year our crime is the lowest in, whenever, is the same year the Chicago Police Department reported having the lowest amount of city police in, whenever? (They're hiring 100 more by the end of the summer, apparently.)
There has to be a better solution than a to-be police state. Neighborhoods are being red-lined as simply terror zones. Terror zones are not, PEOPLE are here, they're trying to raise families, they're trying to live. It's hard to have pride in an overpriced city with ridiculous weather that you can't even feel safe in.
Yea I know, every city has crime. But that's no excuse either.

Melly Mel...He's Just Doin Him
Are we REALLY surprised at Mel Gibson's "behavior"? Lol I'm not. NO I didn't EXPECT him to go on a violent, racial rampage, but I'm not surprised at his obvious opinions of other nationalities.
I'm not big on Mel Gibson's movies but the last one I remember with him having a good relationship with a Black person is Lethal Weapon. PLEASE correct me if there's been one since then.
AND I'm sure Mel has Black friends, may even have Black ppl working with and for him, but where in his acting contract does it say he has to actually like them?
This can go into celebrities' responsibility to respect everyone cuz it's everyone who makes them a celebrity. RIGHT?
Wrong. It's the people who fucking like him back. The people who really give a flying fuck about this man's opinion of their background. The people who were so affected they thought twice about keeping that copy of "Braveheart" in their dvd collection. THE PEOPLE WHO VOLUNTARILY SAT THROUGH "WHAT WOMEN WANT" (I was forced to watch it with my aunt, at the theater...I was 14! That's just not right!)
Mel Gibson is an entertainer. He makes money to entertain, in the form of acting. ACTING. He's not paid to be a good person, he's paid to ACT like one. Just like ol boy from Seinfeld, Michael sumthin, he's paid to make people laugh...including the Black people who proudly watched that show. Just cuz he knows how to make a nigga laugh doesn't mean he gotta like em ey?
I don't understand why people are so angry. Hell if anything, they should be mad that this is actually news, headliners at that! Mel Gibson's racism or sexism or whatever-ism doesn't really affect me as a woman, or a Black person, or a Black woman.
I only get offended when I expect something totally different. And I can't expect anything from something I don't care about. So if a+b=c....
Gibson's rants just let me know something I didn't know before about him, he thinks Black people roll in packs and all Jews are responsible for wars. That's not racism, that fool is just stupid! And I feel that being mad at someone for being stupid is also a prejudice. So don't point fingers ppl.
Let's take this as an example of the backfire of the 1st amendment. Free speech as long as it doesn't offend anyone racially, demographically, sexually, and even mentally. Therefore in order to practice your right to open opinions you have to be sensitive thus educated enough to know that everything you say over a couple beers with your friends isn't something to be repeated publicly.
But Mel didn't say it publicly.
He said it to his girlfriend model chick. Over the phone. So now it's obvious this is how this man really thinks and feels, and what better way to reveal that than anger?
I think we're all racist in one way or another, sexist, and sacriligious even. But we all have our reasons when ultimately we can blame ourselves, our environment, and those we choose to keep around us. Cuz this isn't the first time Mel has expressed his feelings, I'm sure of it, and it won't be the last. But when you see him on film, you're gonna want to assume he's not that person. WHY?
Cuz he's such a great actor. He has awards and stuff.
By the way, there's still an oil leak goin on, if anyone still cares.

Tired Black Relationships (part 1?)
Whattup wurms, hope you had a happy 4th, and hopefully a better 5th. Well if you checked the page last week I posted a couple pieces about the struggles from the perspective of a Black man and Black woman. Though the literature expressed the "strong Black woman" or "strong Black man" as dead, it displayed all the hardships and dehumanization endured. They reminded me of "Diary of a Tired Black Man." My mother recommended it and I was very hesitant to watch simply cuz I thought it was another Tyler Perry stage play.
Note: My opinions of Tyler Perry are mine and mine alone and had no influence on my perspective of this blog's topic. Though I feel he has a tendency to use the Black church as a catalyst for making money from terribly written, terribly acted, cliche-plotted scripts which only translates "COONERY" to the masses, his intentions most likely lies in the hopes that Black men and women will take deeper looks at themselves, therefore having a desire to improve their relationships with each other.
Or he just tryna get paid. Money in the bank bitches!
"Diary" begins with the following clip. The actual movie, scripted wise, is about 45 minutes to an hour. It's the meat in between that makes the sandwich, as the director takes the clips to the streets and gets real opinions from the public, mostly Black. I would highly suggest watching this, it's still on On Demand or you can buy it (support indie filmmakers).
TREATED!! Okay I really REALLy wanna tell you the rest, but it'll kill it. HOWEVER I will say that the movie is about the events leading up to the scene you just saw. There's alot going on...the bitchy wife, the no-man-havin judgmental friends, the white girlfriend in the black man's car...it's definitely a conversation piece. But like I said, it's the EVENTS LEADING UP that matters, and trust the public's opinion fits right into the story, AND the point of it.
In the Black community, not only are broken relationships common, but the reasons are too. From women being molested by close ones during childhood to men being raised only knowing women as bitches and ho's, we've heard em all. The problem is breaking the cycle. Of course we're all affected by our environments, our parents, our self confidence, but as adults we have a responsibility to maintain healthy relationships to continue the love and life cycle. A.K.A. the Black Family.
Pride, insecurity, mistrust, ignorance, dishonesty, and impatience are all descriptions of too many relationships. And when both Black men and women have their own reasons for expressing both it's hard to come to a medium.
I could go on forever on this topic, but I hope all of you are able to watch the movie. Though it's from the perspective of a man, women can definitely relate, at least the ones willing to admit their own faults lol.
Don't marry someone you won't be able to stand in the end. Don't insult or belittle the one you once promised love to. Hell don't do alot shit you know is bogus simply cuz you've already given yourself to this person right? The effort and faith you put into a relationship is the same that you put into yourself. And just like any project, hairstyle, job, etc you try sometimes it doesn't work out. The strength comes in the ability to keep the same peace and love you came in with, cuz if you leave it behind with a bad relationship there will be none left for the next person who comes along. And you know what they say, you'll never know when the ONE comes along.
I'm kinda sleepy, but trust this is one to be continued ppl. Stay happy and loving, grab your lover and get freaky. Just keep it going, and if it's just not working, accept that.
Trust me, this is advice given from someone who SHOULD'VE used it and NOW knows, not someone who always knew. Best believe that's the best lesson you never wanna learn lol. Take care ya'll, and lemme know what you think.
Always Urlee,

Tron Legacy Trailer!!
Where my REAL nerds @? It's time...it's so time.
Tron Legacy recently released its trailer and I'm so hyped I need a drug test. Check it out, and for those who have never seen/heard of Tron, here's my take in 30 seconds:
An arcade employee tries to hack into his former job's computer system (ENCOM) in order to prove his video game ideas were stolen so his ex-chick uses her really smart machine to transform him into software data so he can go into the system but oh no! they find out and he needs help from Tron, a security program to help him defeat the game and hopefully escape or at least being able to prove that his ideas were jacked.
Mmkay?? Here's the trailer.
I got to remember to exhale! Aaaand it's gonna be in 3D. Made by Disney...well at least we know no money will be wasted on effects! Geeked!

"The Strong Black Man Is Dead"
The strong Black man is dead...While struggling with reality with being a human instead of a myth, the strong Black man passed away. Doctors say he died of natural causes, but those who knew him know he died from being silent when he should've been speaking, calm when he should've been raging, but he did not want to inconvenience anyone so he kept his mouth shut.
He died form an overdose of other people clinging to him when he didn't even have the energy for himself. He died form loving women who didn't love themselves and could only offer him a crippled reflection. he died from not having the resources to arise his children and for not being able to do a complete job of it. He died from the lies his grandfather told his father and his father told him about life, women, and racism He died from being discriminated against as a child and having to take that truth everywhere, he went everyday of his life, exchanging the humiliation for guilt and anger.
He died form being called boy by someone who hated him and he allowed it to break his spirit because he could not defend himself. He died from asphyxiation, coughing up blood from secrets he kept trying to burn away instead of allowing himself to feel the pain he was entitled to feel. He died from being responsible, because he was the last rung on the ladder and there was no one under him he could dump on. The strong Black man is dead. He died from the hangman's tree; he died from sweltering hot sun while working in the southern cotton fields, and the northern streets of drugs.
He died from being a father at 15 and a grandfather at 30 and an ancestor at 45. he died from being dragged down and sat upon by urn-evolved men posing as brothers. He died from pretending the life he was living was a Kodak moment instead of a 20th century, post slavery nightmare! He died tolerating Ms. Pitiful, just to have a woman around the house. He died from lack of trust; he died from not knowing how to assist his brother when his brother needed help. He died from giving up his dream of wanting to be a singer, a dancer, a business man or some significant other.
He died from lies of omission because he didn't want to bring the black man down. he died form race memories of being beaten, dragged, snatched, and sold, whipped and worked to death. He died from tributes from his counterparts who should have been matching his efforts instead of showering him with dead words and empty songs. He died from myths that would allow him to show weakness without being chastised by the lazy and hazy. He died from hiding his real feelings until they became hard and bitter enough to invade his mind and heart like a nasty cancer. He died from not always knowing how to love and respect his women.
The strong Black man is dead. He died from being called a Nigger...He died from verbal, he died from being called a punk because he was assertive. He died form never being enough of what a woman wanted, or being too much fro the woman he wanted. he died from being too Black and died again for not being Black enough. He died from castration every time someone thought of him as an animal or treated him like the dirt on the soles of a pair of shoes. He died from being misinformed about his mind, his body, and extent of his royal capabilities. He died from being locked up because someone thought they had probable cause to lock him up. He died from loneliness because no one would listen to him. He died of shock in courtrooms where he stood, alone, knowing he was innocent, but who the hell cared? He died in allies, shabby hotel rooms, and bathrooms with his veins busting open with self hatred and neglect.
He died in his mind, fighting life for the truth, while his body was carted always and stashed in a human warehouse for spiritually mutilated. Sometimes when he refused to dies, when he just refused to give in, he was killed by lethal images of a Cadillac, drugs, and dead presidents. Sometimes, he was stomped to death by his own people, executed by hi-tech ignorance while he walked away from his family, his community, and the race on his back! The strong Black man is dead! Or is he?
I hope you all enjoyed reading both parts of this piece. The similarity of both symbolizes the fact that although Black men and women have different issues with each other, we face the same issues from everyone else. I think the author was trying to say,
"Black men and Black women are strongest TOGETHER. Cuz apart our problems are parallel but unidentifiable. Apart, we are DEAD."
--Oh, and if anyone happens to know the author, please lemme know. He/she deserves kudos. Please stay tuned for my thoughts and hopefully open discussion!

"The Strong Black Woman Is Dead"
The following piece was given to me by a good friend, unfortunately it was an emailed forward with no author. So thank you Anonymous, for "The Strong Black Woman Is Dead."
While struggling with the reality of being a human instead of a myth, the strong Black woman passed away. Medical sources say she died of natural causes, but those who knew her know she died from being silent when she should have been screaming, smiling when she should have been raging, from being sick and not wanting anyone to know because her pain might inconvenience them. She died from an overdose of other people clinging to her when she didn't even have energy for herself.
She died from loving men who didn't love themselves and coudl only offer her a crippled reflection. She died from raising childrem alone. She died from the lies her grandmother told her mother and her mother told her about life, men, and racism. She died from being sexually abused as a child and having to take that truth everywhere she went, everyday of her life, exchanging the humiliation for guilt and back again.
She died from asphyxiation, from secrets she kept trying to burn away instead of allowing herself the kind of nervous breakdown she was entitled to, but only white girls could afford. She died from being responsible, because she was the last rung on the ladder and there was no one under her she could dump on. The strong Black woman is dead.
She died from being dragged down and sat upon by un-evolved women posing as sisters and friends. She died from tolerating Mr.Pitiful, just to have a man around the house. She died from sacrificing herself for everybody and everything when what she really wanted to do was be a singer, a dancer, or some magnificent other. She died from lies of omission because she didn't want to bring the black man down.
She died from myths that would not allow her to show weakness without being chastised by the lazy and hazy. She died from hiding her real feelings until they became hard and bitter enough to invade her womb and breasts like angry tumors. She died from never being enough of what men wanted, or being too much for the men she wanted. She died from being too black and died again for not being black enough.
She died from being misinformed about her mind, her body and the extent of her royal capabilities. She died from knees pressed too close together because respect was never part of the foreplay that was being shoved at her. And sometimes when she refused to die, when she just refused to give in she was killed by the lethal images of blonde hair, blue eyes, and flat butts, being rejected by the O.J.'s, the Quincy's, the Cuba's and the Kobe's.
Sometimes, she was stomped to death by racism and sexism, executed by hi-tech ignorance while she carried the family in her belly, the community on her head, and the race on her back!
The strong Black woman is dead! Or is she?
I'd like to open the blog for discussion, only after I publish "The Strong Black Man Is Dead" tomorrow. Oh yea brothas, I got you too. In the meantime, I urge you to watch the docu-film "Diary of a Tired Black Man." Excellent film exploring the REAL issues of Black women from the perspective of a decent Black man who got tired of getting beaten down by his wife. Trust, it's bout to get deep.
Peace wurms!

My MOM's 5 Reasons Why You Should NOT Have Anal Sex
Close your mouth, it's hanging open a lil.
Lol I know I know, WTF right? Look my mom and I discuss everything openly and candidly. So NO, my family does not sit around and talk about butt sex all day. Some of us definitely joke about it though lol.
Anyway, my mom and I were discussing a lil bit of everything, from Tiger Woods hoe issues to the new season of America's Next Top Model to (all of a sudden) why would a woman enjoy anal sex? She said she understands gay men cuz duh, there's no where else to put it. But
Lol she said she was watching some show on MTV or whatever and some girls were joking about how guys like anal. She's a true joker so she had me DYING laughing when she made me promise to never have anal sex. Moms always make you promise not to do some shit (no pun intended) you weren't gonna do anyway.
So from our discussion I was able to draw 5 reasons NOT to have anal sex.
1.It can rip your asshole!
2.It can fuck w/ur digestive activity and cause stomach problems
3.Doesn't that shit hurt?
4.(and I MUST quote) "He might be pushing something back up there that's trying to get out!"
5.That's just not what the asshole is made for. And doesn't that shit hurt?
Lol like I said these are HER reasons. She's not a medical professional or anything so if you like to get down like that more power to ya. And more lube to ya too!
To be honest, I wanted this article to be symbolic in a couple ways. I wanted to talk about the best asshole I ever met, my mother. Lol take it how you want, but she's a true asshole, hell both my parents are.
But she's a different type. She's a reliable, honest, open minded, educated, and experienced asshole. She raised one, so I know one when I see one. She always speaks her mind with very little regard for emotions. She handles business and never lets business handle her. She made sure that no one in the world knows everything she knows except her only child, ME. That, my faithful wurms, is my definition of the perfect asshole. AND if anyone knows my mother they know I say that with love and all my heart.
I also wanted to emphasize that in this day and age it's important to be on some decent communication level w/ur parents. Things are different these days, we all know that. The fabric of the strong family is often unraveled. Nevertheless, as adults we need to not only stay connected to our parents but be an example to our youth so they too can feel comfortable about opening up. It's too much going on to have closed mouths.
And sure, we don't get to choose our parents, so do what you can. Sometimes the only connection some have to their parents is memories. Let's change the cycle.
Hope you enjoyed reading, if not, then you too are a true asshole.
Peace

Suge Knight a Suspect in Robbery CaseSuge Knight is a wanted man once again. The former Death Row Records head honcho allegedly beat and robbed rapper Yukmouth last night ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.
Sources say it all went down at around 10 PM at a Ralph's supermarket in the San Fernando Valley.
According to a law enforcement source, Suge and roughly 10 members of his posse allegedly beat up Yukmouth and then took $92,000 worth of jewelry from him.
Sources say Suge and his entourage are suspects and cops want to question them.
We're also told there's a previous misdemeanor warrant out for Suge's arrest -- which makes it unlikely he'll visit the police department.
