My Rules..

in the spirit of Bill Maher, i'm coming up with my own take on New Rules.. if y'all don't know what i'm talking about, then you've missed one of the best shows on TV for some years now.. follow along.. you'll get it once you start reading them..

MY RULES:

1. Sequels should have to follow the previous movie.. Also, a prequel is not a sequel..

• First it was Scorpion King 2.. garbage.. hot garbage.. while it had something to do with Scorpion King, it was produced by a different company, directed by somebody who has no eye for talent, and it was a prequel!! it wasn't a sequel.. figure out a different naming convention.. joint was poop.. straight poop..
• Belly 2.. garbage.. not necessarily hot, but still garbage.. first, it had NOTHING to do with the original Belly.. i liked that movie.. it's one of my favorite movies.. yes, Nas' acting was horrible, and so was T-Boz and a bunch of others, but the movie had a story.. a plot.. i could follow it, even if i had to mute certain scenes.. i liked it.. a hood classic.. but Belly 2? with The Game?? come on now.. that joint was pitiful.. first of all it was made without anyone knowing it was made.. then it popped up on DVD.. had us all amped (ok, maybe not amped) to see it.. it was 1st on my Netflix Queue.. garbage.. they should be ashamed of themselves..

1. Blogger needs to fix its' numbering system.. i'm just saying..

• why does it pick up at #1 again? sigh..

1. Animals need to find ways to make money

• if i'm in a recession, so are you.. pets need to make their own dang money.. my cat was better when times were better.. he was more active.. he played more games.. had more tricks up his sleeve.. now? with the recession.. this dude is lazy.. he's getting the same treatment, but he's doing less.. i don't get it.. a fly will be right in front of him, and he'll just ignore it.. what's up with that?? a fly will have to walk to him - not fly, but walk - for him to even react to it.. then he'll catch it, and just let it go.. what's with that? i call it laziness.. and i'm thinking that if he's going to be lazy, then he needs to have an income..

1. Magazines need to change their name to "Ads with a couple stories"..

• every month i'm seeing more ads and less content/news in the magazines that i like.. that's cool.. gotta make your money.. but let's stop fooling ourselves.. those are no longer news magazines.. not current events.. nothing.. those are ad books.. if your first story starts on page 78, then you are no longer qualified to be a magazine..

1. No more taking pics of your baby on the phone, nor sending them to a person's phone..

• i'm going to catch hell for this, but y'all need to stop.. i've had too many baby pics recently be sent to me via email and on my blackberry.. those pics made the babies look like aliens.. that's at least what i'm claiming, cuz i can't believe a baby would have a head that's bigger than its entire body.. and that's what i've been seeing.. i'm ignorant.. ignant.. i don't know any better.. i see those pics (and they can be family too), and i'm ready to disown that family member.. on some, "nah, b, that baby ain't no kin to me!".. i know y'all don't believe me, but i showed a few to some friends, and they co-signed it.. they thought i was just talking trash until they saw them for themselves.. babies looking like extras from the new X-Files movie.. i'm just sayin'..
  

More Focus Material

click above.. more classic material.. y'all gotta peep the dude Ankh Rah doing some type of worm while they're singing "End of the Road".. classic..

btw, Focus, is going to be a new blog series of funny stuff i find on the net.. i got a list of joints, but i'm trying not to flood y'all..

I Am Not Barack

the family might (and should be) off-limits to Barack and his campaign people, but i am not Barack.. i believe the media should not research the family, but discuss the implications of the issues surrounding the family.. they should do it in the manner in which they have gone through Barack's family.. i want you dissecting things the same way you dissected the air that Barack breathes..

i'm not insensitive, but don't try to call me stupid to my face and get away with it.. that ain't happening.. the same way i caught up with that dude that owed me money, i'm catching up with you.. i don't believe the hype (spin).. i'm sorry, but i don't.. if it was no big secret, why did you have your 5 month pregnant high school senior (barely) daughter holding your baby the entire time? why was she hiding that? if it's not an issue, why keep that hidden.. let it be what it is.. she is a product of you.. you're (Sarah Palin) against abortion, contraceptives, etc, and now i see why you have a Goof Troop and bball squad in your family.. that's cool.. my older families have 5 on 5's so i ain't knocking that..

but i am having issues trying to figure out how you can do it all.. i do have an issue of you pretty much demanding your daughter to have the child and marry the father.. the boy came out on his MySpace talking differently.. so, something is definitely fishy in Alaska.. i'm just sayin'.. and i'm sorry, but that's not off-limits.. if you said they are getting married and they are happy, and he comes out and says something different, that is news.. that shows another crack.. that at least shows something to be concerned about, when it comes to families and the family value issue.. i'm not going to say you are forcing your child down this path, but the body of work is pretty much saying that..

more than that, i'm having an issue trying to figure out how this is going to work.. i know my family is different.. i know cultures are different.. but, i do recall that when you have a young teenage mother, usually the majority of the work, heartache, and stress falls on the grandma.. that would be you Gov. Palin.. with your Goof Troop and your baby (suffering from something that's not a joke), i'm not sure that you can or can't effectively do your job.. coming from a strong Black woman, i'm not going to question the resolve of a woman.. ok, maybe some.. but i know women can do extraordinary things.. i've seen it.. time and time again.. but VP? i know my mom went to work some days and messed stuff up, just remembering things that me and my siblings did at home.. that happens.. that's life.. but umm, at that high of a position, with a dude that looks and sounds like he's ready to go at any moment?? i'm not too sure.. dude might still have some type of post-i-was-abused-for-a-long-time-in-somebodys-war syndrome.. Manchurian Candidate type ish.. i have no clue.. but i ain't doubting it.. esp' cuz this old dude swears he is young and can roll with Daddy Yankee.. some call that a senior moment.. others call it an end of life crisis.. i'm just saying..

this isn't about whether a working mom can effectively do her job or be a VP.. nah, this is about that and the fact that the chick has a gang of issues internally and will be second in command, and could potentially have to take the seat in January if she won, cuz i'm not sure McCain's heart can hold up that long.. there is something about just having that look and aura, as well, and neither of them has it.. Palin definitely doesn't have it.. she hit it on the head with that hockey mom stuff.. i see that.. a VP? i don't see that.. put them both in the box.. they shouldn't play anymore..
