Belated congrats to Ahmed, dude I interned and worked with at Complex two years back, getting an online writing gig on the website. He’s been doing it for a while now, I think. Around the time I was bouncing around different jobs at the county and publishing biz. Writing a post on Wale and Cudi burying the hatchet via Twitter is miles better than reporting about local government fixing the...

There are so many fragile things, after all. People break so easily, and so do dreams and hearts.
You’re always you, and that don’t change, and you’re always changing, and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Is it strange to believe that making fun of hipsters has become an overrated and mainstream meme? It comes to the point where hipsters make fun of their own kind, but it doesn’t make them original anymore. So these ex-hipsters find a relatively unknown meme about God knows what, and it’s successful. The people who scorned them flock to the new meme. And this shit goes on and on and...
DeMar DeRozan into dunks, not props →
I agree about the props, but he sounds like a sore loser. How does it feel being the Gerald Green of Toronto, Canada?
Expendable.
Imagine if Michael Bay directed The Expendables? There would probably be about ten minutes of uncool non-witty banter that Call of Duty campaign writers couldn’t salvage in a two hour movie. The rest of it should be explosions, shit crashing in to other shit, and white male action leads accompanied by token Black and Asian action stars killing a shitload of brown people. Ironically, all that...
I Love Demonoid.
I finally watched Megamind and Red. I am a couple of minutes away from finally shooting up testosterone in the form of The Expendables.
Megamind is a mix of The Incredibles and Despicable Me. It’s a slight dissection of the relationship between hero and villain and other predictable elements if you’ve watched the two aforementioned movies. If you loved what Will Ferrell has done...

The Labor of Love #4 'Love is all that Matters' by... →
“A mix I’ve compiled of some Modern Soul tracks from as early as ‘77 to as late as ‘86. This is the 4th installment to a series I’ve done, and varied each year since around ‘07 (skipping one year) for Valentine’s. They’ve never been overly lovey dovey to make the lonely hearted wince, and not too much of the broken hearted tracks to cause agony, but the right blend of LOVE in all forms,...
Happy Valentine’s Day, people. Nothing witty. Nothing preachy.
Thanks for being around.

Watching British Programming On Netflix
Britain seems to be the land of blazers and sandblasted boot cut jeans.
