Jasmine Byrne tribute post

I come up hard, baby
But now I’m fine
I’m checkin’ trouble, sugar
Movin’ down the line

I come up hard, baby
But that’s okay, cause
Trouble man
Don’t get in the way

i don’t really do this, but there’s nothing wrong with breaking tradition.

over the past few weeks i’ve noticed a lot of honesty on my dashboard. about struggle, pain, doing for self and doing without, all of which takes guts. in my personal life i know quite a few people struggling with something as well, making a difficult transition, looking for work, wrestling a demon or two, straining to make ends meet.

the lyrics say it all, and while Marvin may not be everyone’s cup of tea this is a great song for anyone going through it.

How to Listen for Racism on the Campaign Trail:

Here are some things you could learn about black Americans from the recent statements and insinuations of Republican presidential candidates, Republican congressmen and Republican-friendly radio personalities:

Black people have lost the desire to perform a day’s work. Black people rely on food stamps provided to them by white taxpayers. Black people, including Barack and Michelle Obama, believe that the U.S. owes them something because they are black. Black children should work as janitors in their high schools as a way to keep them from becoming pimps. And the pathologies afflicting black Americans are caused partly by the Democratic Party, which has created in them a dependency on government not dissimilar to the forced dependency of slaves on their owners.

lol. check out this sick propaganda.

nasty one. not sure he didn’t travel, but the move to get by Korver and to the cup was wicked.

funny enough, i was streaming the game before i fell asleep. but one of the last things i remember hearing is the two Chicago announcers suggesting the Sixers are maybe a bit overrated, having really only beaten NBA bottom feeders.
