Richard Pryor. Sunset Strip. after that it's probably Cosby's Himself, Elephant In The Room, or Killing Them Softly. I like Hedgeberg's stuff too, but he works better in small doses.

I laughed at Elephant and Killing, but Himself and Sunset Strip actually taught me things about life. That's the stuff that sticks with you. 'You go out with other women, and they don't mean shit.'

Thanks to my grandmother, I listened to a lot of country music growing up, courtesy of the local country music station (yes, even Cleveland, Ohio has one) and watching a lot of Hee Haw.

So much Hee Haw.

Now, the popular stuff in the 70s was the Nashville style, but the instrumentals and lyrics seem waaaay more country than the pop that passes for country nowadays. Taylor Swift cannot step to Dolly Parton, Tanya Tucker, Tammy Wynette, or even later ladies like Reba McEntire. The Dixie Chicks are okay, though.

Also, to paraphrase Angelus, Darius Rucker is the first country music artist with something to say. :)

Bad country is the worst form of music possible. Undeniably. There is nothing worse. Even good country is terrible. Turn on CMT on the weekends and try to sit through their count down shit.

Bandcamp Originals are about some of the worst commercial music you can find. They've got high highs, but boy do they have lows. Most of it is either ambience or shitty Homestuck fan music. Or both.

Story time I guess

I don't even know where to start with this shit. So my sister been having problems with her baby daddy. 3 years ago dude does some dumb shit with his friends and get his ass put in prison. His sentence was 3 years and he came out of prison this spring. During the beginning of his sentence they break up. Basically he wants her back but my sister moved on and was seeing another guy. He starts stalking the guy she was seeing Instagram page (he had to friend the guy since his instagram page is private, afaik) and notices a picture of her son and the dude with the caption that says “that's my boy”. He gets mad and sends my sister angry texts about “don't let me son be around this nigga” and then starts threatening her with physical violence and threatening to take the boy. Naturally my sister is keeping this guy at arms length and not happy with this situation at all but doesn't know what to do about.

He comes over today to my mother’s house unannounced to take his son to the park but my sister isn't there. My mom pulls him to the side and talks to him about what he's doing and why it's wrong and a stern “yo moms!” like manner. So this seems like enough drama already but here is where shit gets interesting. My cousins and aunt actually jumps to the guys defense. They start saying like my sister has a mouth, we don't know what she said to him, he don't mean what he said anyway, and it's not fair that he can't take his kid to the park etc. They even start arguing with my mom saying she's wrong for talking to him the way she is. They even said that he’s just in telling her who she can’t and can have their son around. My aunt drops this little jewel "I know where he coming from if I had a chair and I see someone else sitting in it imma feel a way about."

So guys idk wtf to do about this shit at all and it’s really killing my vibe right now.

If he's threatening her with physical violence he don't get to come to your house unannounced. Simple as that really.

Your aunt's metaphor is straight ignorant. You can feel a certain way about it all you want but that don't mean you get a pass to act out aggressively on anyone. They don't have to be understanding and tolerant towards that kind of treatment because you feel hurt.

I mean you probably know better what type of guy this is than we do. If you think his jealousy is coming from a place of genuine love for his son, or just selfish pride. Either way I think your mom was in the right for telling him about how he's been acting and I'd back her up if your family is getting on her case for it.

So, we all watch porn. Well, most of us.

And you know how every so often, every few months or so, you kinda have to rotate out your collection? Add some new vids, get rid of some old ones, because the old stuff just isn't getting you going like it used to?

But you have that one video that's special. It may be old as shit, compressed as all fuck, and really kind of vanilla compared to the stuff you like now, but you keep it. Because something about it is special to you. Maybe it's that first porn tape that you found and stole from your uncle's house. Maybe it's the first video you downloaded from Napster, and it took 4 hours to download 5 minutes of grainy pleasure on a 56k connection. You keep it, because something about it gets you going like the very first time, every time you watch it.

Well, for me, watching George Zimmerman's life get steadily shittier is that video. I will never tire of it. It is the best porn.

yeah I told him that to his face today. "You and my sister are done. You're here for your son and that's it. I wont stop you from seeing him but you cant come through unannounced."

I think it's selfish pride. More so he's thinking of my sister as "his" and using that situation with the photo to be controlling about who she sees.

Damn that's fucked up. He needs to move the fuck on and your family isn't helping by defending his ass. They're kinda encouraging him to be set in his ways.

This won't help at all. :(

Zaheer was apparently such a boss non-bending criminal that it took a bunch of masters to take him down

So I imagine he just has such a complete mastery of martial arts that when he started air bending he adapted to it right away

That makes sense I guess, he was reading airbending poetry when he was locked up so he probably knew tons of shit before he got airbending. That's convenient as hell though. Still sketched out.

Speaking of Korra, I really like what they are building with the Zaheer thing. His whole devotion to airbending culture (even before he "became" one) is interesting. Hopefully they can actually do something with it and not let it fall flat on it's face....like season 1

I have to call bullshit on Zaheer. Dude just got airbending but he can somehow body bending masters with ease?

It sounds like he pretty much "lives" by that culture and beliefs. He's basically a culture vulture but one that actually does it for enlightenment instead of profit

I feel like he isn't really doing any advanced airbending. To me it looks like when he fights he is using airbending to punctuate his martial arts with forceful but basic airbending.
