This is going to open a whole can of worms but I don't understand how someone who doesn't consider herself black can be playing Nina Simone. She's the embodiment of black people issues in her era.

She's just an opportunist. When she was up and coming and starring within films where her skin color was at the center of the role, she was like “Yo soy una mujer negra.” (I am a black woman), but as soon as she 'made it,' she ditched her black ancestry and took the Vin Diesel route of self-identification. At least Vin Diesel remains quiet about it though, this girl keeps saying stupid shit after stupid shit. And for someone who's not black, she sure doesn't mind earning money for being the go to girl for black female roles.

You say that now, and I understand the sentiment but I feel like once we get older we find more things to live for. Don't you want to enjoy your middle age when you have the maximum amount of knowledge and experience and possibly still decent physical health before your body starts to deteriorate?

Yep.

Agreed . Some might think it ambition on her part, but she is absolutely an opportunist.

At the rate you going, won't be a problem DY, lol. All dem baby daddy checks gon build up and crush ya

This arcade in the mall that's been there my whole life closed down. I just been thinking about how nothing lasts, and what a shame that is. Eventually, all ya'll mothafuckas gon be dead, and I'll never see or talk ya'll or anybody again. I won't even remember it, it'll just be...nothing. Fuck.

You sound like someone just pulled off a choke slam from hell on your ass.

Existential crisis from the closing of an arcade. I can actually relate. Seems like those moments sneak up on you in the most unexpected ways.

No shame, fuck yall.
 
I'd fuck around and buy red cameras with straight cash.

I saw Steven Soderbergh do that shit. He walked up to a booth at this convention and asked them how man Reds did they have on hand. Dude said two or three so SS pulled out a shit load of cash and asked how much they were. Walked out with two of them because one of them wasn't a full kit.

Geeze. Balling hard as hell. Spending that Ocean's Eleven / Magic Mike money.
 
I think I'm going to trade in Dark Souls today.

I just...I can't do it anymore. There doesn't seem to be five minutes that go by without me wanting to find out the most basic of things via a FAQ and the vast majority of the time I don't know where I'm going, if I'm under or overleveled, etc.

Damn

I've been meaning to ask about that too, is it just a hype thing for the next Xbox reveal on Tuesday?

I'm pretty hyped for the Xbox reveal. More for the potential Media/DVR capabilities than the games itself considering I can't seem to muster the drive to play more then a game or two a year Lol.

I don't know why people are like "lol fuck apps and services". When I go to my girls apartment who doesn't have even so much as Roku I'm thinking, how da fuck do people access shit without a console? There'd be a dedicated Blu-ray device, some music streaming device, a roku or Netflix box...fuck outta here with all that shit.

I'm very much interested in booting up an xbox 2 , jumping on the couch and saying "nigga turn on dat Netflix"

For reals though. I use Netflix, Amazon Prime, NFL Sunday Ticket (my dad has a subscription and I leech off it) and HBO GO all the fucking time. I built an HTPC over the summer, and pretty much use it daily. My parents have DirecTV with all of the premium channels, so if Microsoft could add Apps like MaxGo, StarzPlay, Showtime Anytime, etc. to their next console, I'd be in fucking heaven considering I wouldn't have to pay for shit once I move out.

There is that Dark Souls wiki out there that's damn solid. And its always best to assume that you are underleveled always.
