Reprobate

I think the reason I am so good at running nightclubs is that I really don't care about most of the people I serve.
Yet, I get pleasure from seeing whether I can influence a group to buy one product or another.
I get pleasure from watching the herd follow the herd which is following what it knows not.
I am amused that people will spend their hard-earned cash on things which they know are of little benefit to their well being.
I laugh that people act benevolently as long as they are part of a larger group donating money to deserving charities just so long as each benefit is sold as a 'Party With a Purpose'.
I laugh at supposedly well-established people who think that popularity is of the utmost importance.
I laugh at the game of Social Rochambeau as status-seeking people are influenced by others who are being influenced by others who are ultimately being influenced by the first group to begin with.
At the end of the day, I only care about the kids I tutor and the elderly I take care of - the club is just a lab.
And to run this lab - I must be a pretty effed-up personality.

Many Mannys

I use facebook a a cheap way to advertise for the club.
I often check my news feed to keep track of what else is going on around town.
Amidst the incorrect memes are the occasional clever jokes.
Manny seems to be taking a beating in and out of the ring on social media.
Manny as a uni-brow? LMBAO...

Why Nightclubs?

Because they are an interesting testing ground for the herd-mentality.

Dreams

I often hear people say, "I didn't dream anything last night.".
But this is not the case - most just don't remember what it was that they dreamed about.

Inception was a decent movie - but it brought up some interesting ideas.
Why is it that most of the time we don't even know that we are dreaming?
Why do some of our dreams turn into nightmares?
I often know that I am dreaming and most of the time I just sit back and watch as though I was watching a movie with added emotions and sensations.

But what happens when we change and control our dreams?
Is the benefit such sleep any different?
Sometimes I edit and reset my dreams so that the results are always my desired outcomes.
As a result of thinking while dreaming - I'm never rested regardless of how many hours I'd slept.
Is the benefit of sleep and dreams derived from not thinking?
(From having 'faith' in the known-unknown?)

In Dreams

Most dogs only dream about getting some... cat.
But do actual dogs dream?
Dreams seem to be a necessity in or lives so it would seem as simple a question as, "Do dogs eat?".
My question is, "Do animals have gods?".

Once Again...

 The Los Angeles Lakers have sought to buy another championship.
The thing is - there is no apparent team leader.
No, Kobe is not a leader. A leading scorer does not make one the natural leader.

Remember when Bryant threw Shaq under the bus after being caught in his own extramarital tryst?
Well... instead of handling his business like man - Kobe attempted to deflect attention away from himself and towards a teammate. (VERY unleader and bitch-like.)

Like many New York Yankee teams - Jerry Buss imagined that a group of individual stars could come together to form a dynasty.
Didn't they learn anything from Coach K and his success in choosing members of his Olympic teams?
Coach K passed on bigger names in favor of a greater whole.
While still a Laker fan (Yet, I cannot stand Kobe.), it looks as though they will continue to build teams around Kobe and become only the second best team in their own city.

Bull-Shigidy !!!

So Papa John's, Denny's, Applebee's and other companies would rather eliminate employees before paying for heath-care for it's workers?
Ninjas Pa-lease...
Kaiser Steel created and transformed itself into a health care company to address this issue.
(Ayn Rand even toured the company's Fontana site while writing Atlas Shrugged in order to gain better insight into the steel industry.)

Father of Tabitha

Retromingent adjective Cowardly (literally, 'urinating backward).

 

I'd been taught the word back in grammar school but had never seen it again until a link provided by DD had it as their Weird Word of the Week.

The Role of Hip Hop

 

What do they all have in common?

Soursop?

Who Knew?

Liar, Liar,...

 

 

Why is it that big girls always lie and say that they 'like' being fat?
Some, like my all-time least favorite Mo'Nique, have even made a career out of lying to themselves and the rest of their fluffy crew saying ridiculous things like, "I'm Fatabulous".
Now Precious seems to have backed away from her previous, "I love who I am." comment after being ridiculed for her excessive girth.

Bitches Pa-lease... Don't let your modest celebrity fool you into believing that you are happy with your weight while encouraging other bigguns to remain unhealthy.
At least Oprah admits that she prefers to be smaller and more fit.

Mannequins Got Ass ???

 Back in the day, mannequins looked like mannequins - banana boobs and all.

 Later, mannequins were made to look more athletic with breasts that sat higher on the chest.

 Then someone came up with the idea of creating more full figured mannequins to more accurately reflect the size and shape of a store's customers..

Butt (sic) when did mannequins get asses like Jo-Lo or Beyonce?

Christmas Shopping

 Target.



Walmart.

 

Why Romney/Ryan Failed

Beliefs from the 60's are not the same as the realities of today...

(Oh, but they were all such natty dressers.)

Meanwhile, Back on the Farm...

Soon after Governor Rick Perry pushed to have those seeking aid tested for drugs - one of my neighbors proposed the same standard for public officials.

This why I say that local elections matter.
In local politics one can speak directly to his representatives one-on-one.
In local politics one cannot hide behind a gated wall while those on the outside suffer the consequences of his wrong-headed decisions.

WTF?

FEMA needs assistance?

I Just Can't Stand to Look at Her

The only woman more disgusting is Mo'Nique.

Faith?

Was it Plato or Aristotle who thought that 'faith' and 'knowledge' were one and the same?

Like Spoiled Children

Succession?
Nigga' Pa-Leeease...
You'll end up like a runaway on the streets being exploited by all the pimps and hustlers.

More Dumb-Assedness?

 Damn... I never knew hat so many idiots thought that it would better to starve on their own instead of serving under a Black puppet instead of a white one. http://www.wealthwire.com/news/economy/4053

I guess being dumb,

Homogeneous,

 

Fat,

 and Baptist is not the best recipe for success in America.

But then again, every state has it's issues.

The SECOND Worst Day In American History

 So Obama won and many have taken to the Internet to express their heartbreak .

 But cheer up y'all - the reelection of President Obama was only the second worst day in American history.
(I know you all remember the worst.)

That being said , there is only one logical choice of action...

Is It Descrimination ?

 The re-election of President Obama seems to have ignited a powder keg of suppressed hatred.
The racial slurs seem almost unrelenting.
The most common posts on my facebook feeds seem to be those of 'Black Pride".
Why is this acceptable ?
If Romney would have won and whites posted as much about "White Pride" - wouldn't this be seen as being racist?

 

It seems that everyone is proud of something just as long as it subjugates other groups.

The only one who seems to have it right is Carlin.

R.I.P.

What Now? (Or, Now What?)

As many from America and beyond celebrate Barack Obama's election to a second tern in office - the question remains the same four years after his first monumental victory, "Now What?".

Not in Houston

People on my club's facebook page keep passing this image around stating that this picture was taken in Houston.
Upon further research I found out that it was taken in North Carolina as a protest by some guy trying to get his local, state or federal authorities to look into the death of his relative.
I even linked the story to our facebook page yet many of my patrons were upset because I ruined their "Local Racism" meme.
