Let's talk shit

Excellent timing on my Willow Smith post. Here's an exerpt from the most recent Coke Talk post:

Do you whip your hair back and forth?
Don’t let haters keep me off my grind.

To all tha haters

Anyone see the music video for Willow (Smith)'s Whip My Hair? Aside from the fact that the song sucks, she looks exactly like her brother, who looks exactly like their dad. I look forward to following her career.

Perhaps the Black's answer to the classic Devo hit?

A trip down memory lane

Via Colijn's Facebook quotations;

"AW BRAWWW you've been avoiding me like the plague braw."
-Red Devil. Also Author of the infamous "You Just Look Like You've Seen A GHOST Braw."

"Slops/Glaas Jan Huntelaar"
-Mr Mets on various performances

"The forecast for this week is looking slooops"
-Wes (Mildly pleased with Dalhousie's cornbread situation)

"No Man...half a sub means NOTHING!"
-Yet Another Demonstration Of Zeid's Go-Big-Or-Go-Home Life Philosophy

"She's so down she's on the floor."
-Lauren commenting on Jacqueline on The Dome floor

"Your whole family's a joke."
-Shams To A.T. walking back from Hate's

"Hey Man, are you a cop? ... Because you look like the fucking Wu-Tang Clan."
-AT talking to undercover cop in Drunk Tank

"Wo Wo Wo! A glass of water and a piece of lettuce will do for you"
-Mr. Corns on a Shirreff Hall lunch-time scope

Take a dirty picture for me

Not even slightly surprising that Kesha would be featured in a love song about sending your loved one a dirty picture of yourself.

More importantly, who is writing the lyrics for these songs? I could use a new day job.

Black holes and revelations

My favorite part of Teen Mom?

The blurb they play after each commercial. Teen pregnancy is completely preventable. Visit this website to find out more.

I'm only smart in English or French

My wonderful boyfriend asked me not once, not twice, but three times what time it was in Bosnian the other morning. He wasn't too impressed when I didn't respond and just stared blankly at him. Then he realized he wasn't speaking English.

Rock me like a hurricane

"I like guys with mini vans. It means they're in a band or they have kids. That's sexy."

It Gets Better

The great thing about the Internet is being able to share things all over the place. I saw this earlier and wanted to pass it along.

Photo memories

Considering that I have not put any of my relationship information on Facebook since 2006, I find it completely eerie and a little mean that Facebook exclusively suggests that I look at old photos of exes.

But I already know what you came for

It's a crime to fall in love.
Heart and mind, and soul in love.
It's a crime to fall in love,
So hard, so hard.

I shouldn't have bothered, cause
You're just like all the others.
Now I know, and I won't do that again.
I should've guessed that you'd be
Just like all the rest.
Now I know not to go through that again.

I'm still crying all night and all day,
But if I show it, someone lock me away,

Because it's a crime to fall in love.
Heart and mind, and soul in love.
It's a crime to fall in love, so hard, so hard.

4 months late, 8 months early?

Texting conversation with my lovely little sister:

Me - Don't forget today is dad's birthday.
J - I know! Thanks
Me - Just checking!
J - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Can't wait to see you Friday. Have a great day!
Me - You sent that to me, not dad. But thank you.
J - Clearly not tired...
