Jocular Look @ Today’s News || Women prefer scrawny weaklings thin men are hot and square jaws are not

For women seeking sperm, thin men are hot and square

jaws are not

According to new research, women are less interested in the features that denote high testosterone levels and are falling for slim-hipped dudes less likely to drop dead before the kids are out of college. The choices of ovulating women asked to rate men of various sizes and face shapes suggested weight was a far greater factor in their preferences than masculine features. The women favored thinness “because of its strong association with health and immunity,” said research scientist Vinet Coetzee, of South Africa’s University of Pretoria. [Source]

Or as another article put it

Women prefer scrawny weaklings, new research shows

Nice guys finish last, as the old saying goes, but it’s the scrawny guys who get the girl. A new study conducted at the University of Tennessee suggests that women aren’t enamored by incredible hulks with killer biceps after all, and haven’t been for some time. Rather, it’s traits such as loyalty and generosity that capture their hearts. The research postulates that Alpha males once ruled the roost, but over time, Beta males got hip and adjusted, and began to focus their energies on a single woman. While Mr. Alpha continued to play the field, women began to prefer the more committed and protective Beta man.

MrMary Weighs In

Man all that working out for nothing, and the McRib isnt even back, my life and this  t-shirt is a lie! Seriously though when I started working out it wasn’t to pick up chicks.

My friends and I have noticed though that really effeminate guys are all the rage nowadays. Like I saw a couple on the F train they could wear the same jeans and they both had manicures, the guy had his eyebrows done. I’m not against grooming and personal hygiene and all that fun stuff. I feel do whatever makes you happy.

What I am reflecting on is the fact that the definitions of masculinity and femininity have changed much since i was a kid. When I was younger you were either a boy or a girl. Your bits and pieces determined your gender. I remember back in the day at least where I came from at least the biggest insult was to call another dude gay or say he was feminine. Father’s everywhere would tell their son’s be ma man don’t cry or I’ll make you wear a dress.  You weren’t expected to  be macho but you had to look like no one could bitch you around. You had to be able to protect your girl/sister/ brother/friend in case of a fight.

Things Change

I don’t see it really. I thin both studies need to define what’s thin and what  considered overly muscular. For Example I can see why ladies would thing that this is scary:

At close to 300lbs ripped, I’m betting very few women have asked him for it harder

But professional body-builders (not the natural ones) are on the juice so that explains the excess testosterone.  The titles of these articles are a bit over the top too I mights add I have seen the same story reported as women prefer skinny men over macho men.

So ultimately ladies can you shed some light on this ? I’d love to have your opinion ? Is this why a lot of women my in their late forties and early 50′s hit on me a lot – because they don’t like skinny dudes ?

Best Effing Line I read today from a Blogger & Inappropriate song to go with it

Recently I was lucky to come across a cool new blog that is in fact all kinds of cool. You can quote me on that. Here is a brief introduction to the GreenEyedWreck

http://greeneyedwreck.wordpress.com/

The “raison d’être” of her blog is to document what’s happening. How do I know, well I visited  her blog in particular her About Page. I’m thorough like that. Actually go visit her blog and tell her that I [MrMary or Citizen Blackness as she knows me ] sent you

Best Effing Line I Read today

Whenever I see her author Pic and blog title I am brought back to some poignant images of Ireland as I flew over it on route to London once. I was really overcome by the shockingly vibrant green even visible from a mile up and this Irish chick from Derry, Ireland (also known as Maiden City) I met once who I suspect had a taste for boudin noir as the french call it. [Did you see what I did there. I gave you the image first and left you in anticipation and right when you thought things were gonna work, You got it and you liked it ]

Actually I feel like some words from Yeats are appropriate:

‘I am of Ireland,
And the Holy Land of Ireland,
And time runs on,’ cried she.
‘Come out of charity,
Come dance with me in Ireland.’

One man, one man alone
In that outlandish gear,
One solitary man
Of all that rambled there
Had turned his stately head.
That is a long way off,
And time runs on,’ he said,
‘And the night grows rough.’

Today she left a comment that had me laugh quite raucously which is good because I need more laughs in my day but bad because I was drinking water at the time. Here is the comment:

My candy shop may be closed but it doesn’t mean I can’t window shop…

In homage to my Green-Eyed Homey here is it 50 Cent’s candy Shop

Jocular Look @ Today’s News: Onions on hamburger send Oregon man into ‘McFury’

 

Jayme John Leon, 50, reportedly

threw a soda in

a McDonald’s manager’s face and

smashed a cash

register over the dispute.

__________

The unexpected inclusion of onions on a hamburger sent one Oregon man into what police called a McFury, which could not be alleviated even after he was offered a free replacement burger. The Oregonian reports that Jayme John Leon, 50, reportedly threw a soda in a McDonald’s manager’s face and smashed a cash register over the dispute. Leon walked into a local McDonald’s on September 23 and ordered a quarter pounder burger without onions. But when he returned home, Leon discovered the burger was in fact topped with onions. When he called the restaurant to complain, Leon was told he was entitled not only to a refund but also to a free replacement burger. Leon reportedly ate the offending burger anyway but still showed up at the McDonald’s demanding a refund and fresh burger.

MrMary Weighs In

You cannot demand a refund or anything after you eat the burger in question. But I wonder about people flipping out over trivial stuff. For a while post office workers were in the new for going crazy. Ambulance  driver have among the highest rate of suicide the same goes for returning vets. There is something wrong socially  and I cant place my finger on it that causes people to flip out or be consumed with rage. Any ideas?

If you’re going to be crazy, you have to get paid for it or else you’re going to be locked up.

Debunking a Popular Myth: Amateur Porn

There are many deceiving phrases in English like: “Fuck Ms Buttersworth!!” While You may ask what has she done to anyone other than pretend to be a character from, a movie called: “The Help”, and a future character Eddie Murphy may impersonate in another film I won’t see …, I would answer: “Nothing, she is a fictitious character, but so were the girls/guys in your wet dreams as a child”.

I would like today to deconstruct the phrase and today: Amateur porn. Technically I have always felt that amateur  should be a video of two virgin trying to figure out  what’s the most obnoxious way to eat either an open faced beef-sammich au jus, or a quick breakfast of over-boiled sausage with weird swampy funk atop boiled eggs, i.e. it should be something no one wants to see.

First the Definitions

NJ Governor Chris Christie amateur weight loser

Amateur:

ne who engages in a pursuit, study, science, or sport as a pastime rather than as a profession

: one lacking in experience and competence in an art or science

ANALysis

First off let stay with this word because it brings up a few interesting points, namely:

1. For the people who act in porn is it a profession or a past-time?
2. What is it that they are lacking experience in ?
3. Concerning the question before by in do we mean “in” literally or figuratively ?

It is neither a profession or a past-time, like brown-bagging it (a non-sexual term that should be) at the market, it’s a way of life.  We have all eaten stuff we didn’t like that left you picking your teeth for a while afterwards, and we have all choked in something in the past, and we have all been in front of a camera, we have all ordered pizza, or momentarily, when it suited us, forgotten the difference between right and wrong.

To me this clearly means that the ‘actors’ in porn, aren’t going hard into method. They are not real actors though like many real actors they need money to support a boyfriend, 3 kids and a coke habit while living in Southern California, and all the furniture on their set is covered to protect from those everyday spills.

Granted maybe it’s not every day that they use all those common plebeian talents all at once, but if you ask me to hold a pose in front of camera, while eating a free box lunch, it wouldn’t be a daunting challenge and that wouldn’t make me an amateur porn star, even if the box was really big and sloppy.

The Real Reason
why it’s called Amateur

Literally road hard and hung up wet. I typed that into Google and she came up and since then I havent been able too (j/k)

Every guy know you can only use the excuse, this is my first time, for a couple for years before you have to start being accountable. In this case it’s a lack of accountability adult film producers are trying to account for.  Why you ask, well because the actors and actresses aren’t what you would call beautiful/handsome in the classic sense – stretch marks,  surgery scars, maybe some bullet/knife wounds sagging parts, … etc. These people are so not classically beautiful they aren’t worth using good film on or even editing crappy film.

Bottom Line: No such thing as amateur porn, there are only less than beautiful people  trying hard to make fucking  not appealing

Illogical Thoughts/things that make perfect sense # 4 Sexual Assault Victim may go to Jail

Breaking News:

A Kentucky girl who was sexually assaulted could face contempt of court charges after she tweeted the names of her juvenile attackers. Savannah Dietrich, the 17-year-old victim, was frustrated by a plea deal reached late last month by the two boys who assaulted her, and took to Twitter to expose them–violating a court order to keep their names confidential. “There you go, lock me up,” Dietrich tweeted after naming the perpetrators. “I’m not protecting anyone that made my life a living Hell.” Her Twitter account has since been closed.

Illogical Things

(After i started this post there was a news update and she wont go to jail)

Attorneys for the attackers then asked a Jefferson District Court judge to hold Dietrich in contempt. She could have faced up to 180 days in jail and a $500 fine if convicted. The boys have yet to be sentenced for the August 2011 attack. Do you see that ? Do you know what happens to women in jail, in an all women’s jail ? So The lawyers want to teach a rape victim a lesson in contempt by sending her to jail does this make sense ? OK even if she doesn’t go to bad jail imagine sending this young girl to jail for almost half a fucking year because she tweeted the names of  her attackers.

Let me tell you what happened

Dietrich was assaulted by the pair after passing out at a party. They later shared photos of the assault with friends. On June 26, the boys pleaded guilty to first-degree sexual abuse and misdemeanour’s voyeurism. Terms of their plea agreement were not released.

From Ms Dietrich: “So many of my rights have been taken away by these boys”. “I’m at the point that if I have to go to jail for my rights, I will do it. If they really feel it’s necessary to throw me in jail for talking about what happened to me as opposed to throwing these boys in jail for what they did to me, then I don’t understand justice.” “For months, I cried myself to sleep,” Dietrich said. “I couldn’t go out in public places.” “[Protecting rapists] is more important than getting justice for the victim in Louisville,” she added.

The Good News

Ms Dietrich won’t be  prosecuted for contempt. (Applause)  It seemed that the petitions people started online and the fervent outcries were enough to make the lawyers close the case. Her case quickly gathered supporters nationwide who were upset that the victim of an assault could be punished for speaking out against her attackers.  An attorney for one of the boys, said the decision to withdraw the motion had nothing to do with public sentiment and online attention to the case. He said the purpose of the motion had been to enforce the law that protects juveniles and their actions from disclosure.

These dudes shared the picture of her being raped with their friends but she can’t share their names on Twitter? That’s fucking bananas.” It’s only fair to use social media to return the favour.

Thoughts

Since the 15th century I think justice has been depicted as blinded, and the blindness there represented objectivity. Luckily for Justice she was a God and didn’t need eyes to see. We live in a world were we have killed off the personal Anthropomorphic God, and if you hear the latest reports from prison Jesus was killed there too. We don’t live in an age of truth or objectivity. Nothing seems to work any more legal system,  politics, the courts, and especially the value that our country were based on. These are all meaningless now.

Why so serious MrMary ?

Usually when someone asks me why so serious I answer something inappropriate like:

Yeah Me too Lil Homey

You know, your ____________ (insert noun -mom, daughter, wife, ex-gf, sister, best friend, Francine) ask me the same thing when I was climbing off of her this morning, I guess I’m getting old.

Or

I quote a line of poetry that is non-romantic and a bit disturbing like from the Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock

LET us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherized upon a table;
Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,
The muttering retreats
Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels

That really gets the basement juice (New word) flowing for the ladies. In one move you managed to show that your creepy, well read, and a dick who probably wont call the next day, (According to rabid Anti-Semite Mel Gibson that’s really what women want)

The Events of The Day

Yesterday I fell into my own trap. I posted some serious hard hitting posts, and I feel that I have to rectify my out of character seriousness.  It’s bad enough I am a scientist, graduate instructor, and professional vaginal-filler (consensually of course). So here is my corrective and way of paying homage   to Sherman Helmsley, I loved watching him when I was a young boy and actually I found the word honkey so funny I would say it often, until someone pulled me aside and told me not to say it.

The Corrective

Enjoy

The show was truly edgy for its time like all in the family it still cracks me up.

by the way

Just say it already ………………..

I generally feel that whenever something  awful happens in American the immediate reaction is to find a scape goat to pin it on and then neatly wrap the case up in time for dinner and our favorite TV shows.

Case and Point

let’s look at this a little more first:

James Holmes Cops Investigating Sex Site Profile

A man claiming to be James Holmes created a profile on a popular sex website just days before “The Dark Knight Rises” massacre … in which he described his penis as “short/average” … and law enforcement sources tell TMZ investigators are now looking at the site to determine its authenticity.

James Holmes Reportedly Took Drugs Before Shooting Spree

James Holmes took Vicodin 2-and-a-half hours before yesterday’s shooting rampage … this according to a new report.

2nd Grade English

I remember from grammar school being told that the first line of every paragraph is the most important. Further more the first line of the first paragraph of anything is the most important. With the exception of a few things this rule has pretty much held true over the years.

So if were were to read these two articles taking a Vicodin and having an average sized schlong is grounds for committing atrocities. We should regular Vicodin sales  and whoever isn’t buying Magnum condom. Wonderful idea to keep people safe.

Can’t we just say that there are people who like inflicting pain on others for no reason? Can’t we all admit that there are people walking around that are fucking nuts? I guess we cant because that would force us to ask on what side of the line do we sit and we are afraid  of what the answer may be and rightly so.

In the meantime here are some more headlines to distract you from the real questions:

Let’s Stop the Hate…We’re better than that

This post was inspire by Ms Heather’s Post

If I told you there was once a women who had 80 fingers inside of her at one time, and that I found it odd she did pornography, you would look at me  as if I was fucking crazy. You would say well such is the life or a cheerleader or a pretty catholic school girl. And yet many people are outraged that the Octomom is doing porn ?

I could understand if she was filming/stripping while cooking dinner and set off a lot of smoke alarm, or if she was walking around opening door knobs with her mouth. But she is according to the law not putting her kids in any danger. Of course how can one set a bad example in the land of the free and the home of the brave. She comes across to me as the kind of women who doesn’t have any daddy issues she just likes the taste so she does it. And in a democracy why shouldn’t she have the right to practice her beliefs. If a child molesting drug addicted science fiction writer can create his own religion, Scientology, then a woman can strip to support her family.

Let’s stop being hypocrites and let the market decide what right or wrong

You Know It’s Bad When

Fox News Reporter Hired as Vatican Media Adviser

ROME — In an effort to shore up its communications strategy amid a widening leaks scandal in a troubled papacy, the Vatican has hired the Fox News correspondent in Rome as a senior communications adviser.The correspondent, Greg Burke, 52, who has covered the Vatican for Fox since 2001, will leave the network to help improve and coordinate the Vatican’s various communications operations, Mr. Burke and the Vatican spokesman said. Some Vatican watchers called the move a power play by media-savvy Americans inside a Vatican hierarchy run by Italians whose most frequent communications strategy is to accuse their critics of defamation. Mr. Burke is a member of the conservative Opus Dei movement, and his hiring underscores the group’s role in the Vatican.

What That means In Plain English

Frankly speaking you cannot teach an old dog new tricks. The vatican hasn’t updated it sperm laced manuals on hwo to deal with issues. Killing loads of people to silence them and then blaming it on Satan wouldnt seem to fitting, especially since the the whole inquisition, ousting of the Jews from Europe and the whole Slavery is good for the negro soul thing. new times call for new methods and it seems no one is more adept at  covering up the truth and spouting disinformation better than the american news media. They have had much training in justify wars, police brutality, criminalizing the poor, so sack tickling priest and global cover-up should be nothing.

What does he have to cover up/make seem better/Communicate Effectively

1. That is a tall order. Vatican experts say that the institution is suffering from a deep crisis of leadership more than of communications. Pope Benedict XVI is seen as an intellectual with little interest or skill in governing, and his deputies have been mired in infighting.
2. The Vatican must deal with a growing investigation that has led to the arrest of the pope’s butler in connection with the leaking of private documents, a case that could reach into higher levels of the hierarchy.
3. The Vatican’s secretive bank remains embroiled in controversy over whether it can meet international transparency standards.
4. And on Friday in Philadelphia, a former aide to a cardinal became the first senior official of the Roman Catholic Church in the United States to be convicted of covering up sexual abuse by priests under his supervision in a vast scandal that has cost the church untold credibility and more than $1 billion in legal settlements.

What does this Say about America?

We all know that something was up with the church. I mean the pope dresses like Liberace and yet the church has an anti-gay stance, I won’t even mention the castrated boys choir.  I mean it clear to me that the world knows we are full of shit. All men are created equal except, women, Native Americans and Negros. We are a nation of immigrants who are so divided on immigration. We work for Peace through War, we are for religious tolerance yet well I mean I dont have to get into it do I ?  Like America Oceania in Orwell’s classic 1984 is depicted as a nation of perpetual war, pervasive government, public mind control and the voiding of civil rights.

I wonder if violent regimes around the world will start really hiring republican Lawyers and Bill O’ Reilly to do some good ole fashion PR for them. President Assad in Syria can be fighting domestic home grown terrorists, some of which like  in an American drone strike due to their proximity to some assumed terrorists must be terrorists too. Our number one export seems to be disinformation….

“America’s leading industry, is still the manufacturing, packaging and selling of bullshit. High quality, grade A, prime cut, pure American bullshit. Bullshit is everywhere. This entire country is completely full of shit and always has been. From the declaration of independance, to the constiution, to the star spangled banner, it’s still nothing a big steaming pile of red, white and blue bullshit. Think of how we started, this country has founded by a group of slave owners who said that all men were created equal…except for blacks, indians and women right!? Americans really show their ignorance when they say they want their politicians to be honest. What are these fucking cretins talking about. If honesty were suddenly introduced into American life, the whole system would collapse. No one would know what to do! Honesty would fuck this country up”

Reblogged: A friend of mine gets booted out of Downtown Sports Bar (Raleigh, NC) for being black, because this is 1960*, apparently

This was reblogged from here . The story really moved me and made me angry.  Please check out the original blog post. But I have reprinted the course of events  below. Enjoy

MrMary

My name is Jonathan Wall, and I am a 21 year old black male from Raleigh, NC. I was born and raised here, and just a few weeks ago I graduated from Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA. This fall I’ll be headed to grad school at Harvard to get a Master’s degree in Education Policy and Management. I’m in Raleigh for the summer before heading off to grad school.

As the story begins, on last Saturday night around 12:30am, I and 2 other friends went to Downtown Sports Bar and Grill off of Glennwood Avenue. The night got interesting as soon as we got to the door, and the bouncer told us “you need a membership to come in tonight, I’ve never seen you here before.” My friend Chris and I looked at each other in curiosity, knowing that the establishment was a bar and not a club, and that people in line before us walked right in after showing their ID. The only difference between those people and my friends and I was our race. Still, we stood at the door in bewilderment asking “What?” as he further tried to explain that we weren’t going to be able to come in because of our “non-member” status. However, as he was explaining this, a police officer walked up to where he was standing to tell him something unrelated. As soon as he caught sight of the officer beside him, he said “Never mind, y’all go ahead.” This was the first interesting ordeal of the night, but not the last.

We were downstairs for all of ten minutes, when my two friends dispersed. My friend Chris went to the bathroom, and my friend Kristin went upstairs to get some fresh air. Only a few seconds after they left, what appeared to be a bartender came from behind the bar to clean drinks off of one of the tall bar tables that was near me. After he cleaned the table, it looked as if he was headed back behind the bar when he came up to me and said “Either buy a drink or leave right now.” Again shocked, I replied “I’m just waiting for my friend to come back from the bathroom.” He responded, “I don’t care, get a drink or leave right now.” I said “Okay” and began texting. He walked away from me, then went and sat with his back to the bar as he stared me down. Being non-confrontational, I looked towards the bathroom, waiting to see my friend come out so that we could leave. I also took notice of how many of the people surrounding the bar and the club area didn’t have drinks in their hands. I felt as if I was singled out. The common denominator, again, was that I was the only black person around. After staring me down for about 30 seconds, he walked back over and said “Are you going to buy a drink, or are you going to leave?” I replied, “As soon as my friend comes from the bathroom.” Before I cold utter another word, he grabbed my right wrist and my left arm and threw them behind my head in an effort to constrain me, although I was speaking to him a calm and non-aggressive tone and didn’t once even gesture. He then used excessive force to push me through the crown and out of the club while I was still in this “headlock” of sorts, before pushing me out of the front door. As soon as he grabbed me, I let my body go limp because with the degree of force he was already using, I didn’t want him to think I was trying to fight back. I accepted that he was on an ego-trip, and let him guide me through the club in this position before pushing me out. I was completely shocked and more saddened that this was happening than angry.

As he was walking me out, my friend Chris came out of the bathroom and ran up to where he we were, asking him what I did wrong. He didn’t reply. I had done nothing but suggest that I would wait for my friend to come from the bathroom and leave instead of purchasing a drink. After making sure I was all right, my friend and I went to the bouncer at the front door to try to tell him what had just happened and get an explanation. He waved us off and told us to just get away.

I walked up and down Glennwood Avenue looking for a police officer to talk to—again, not angry, but sad and shocked that what I believed to have been blunt and undeniable segregation was taking place in an establishment in Raleigh, the city I was born, raised in, and love.

After about ten minutes and two redirections I was able to talk to the police sergeant, who was also on Glennwood. I explained to her everything in the previous paragraphs. She told me that this was a very unfortunate occurrence, but not an isolated instance. She explained that this happens all the time, and that if she approached the bartender about it, he’d have witnesses that would corroborate whatever story he made up as to why he kicked me out in such an aggressive manner. She then explained that my options were limited because if she proceeded with getting statements from both of us and conducted an investigation, the end result could be worse for me: either it would get dismissed in court, or we would both be charged with what is the equivalent of “fighting” and both have a misdemeanor. She said “He probably has a few charges already, but you’re young with a bright future ahead of you, and you don’t want that on your record.” I understood what she was saying, but wasn’t exactly sure whether I should trust a police officer within the network of bouncers/officers who worked the many clubs/bars of Glennwood. Just then, the man who threw me out came to the front door. I pointed him out to the officer, and she approached him to talk about the incident. They talked for about 3 minutes before she came back to me and said, “I knew this was going to happen. Now, I don’t believe him one bit, but he says that he has three people who witnessed you throw an elbow at him before he restrained you.” Shocked is an understatement. As I said earlier, I talked in a non-confrontational, clam and respectful tone, and didn’t even gesture when talking. There is no way that he could have perceived me as having thrown an elbow and I didn’t understand how three people would lie and say that I did. I asked the officer about video camera footage. If the club used cameras, they would show the conversation, and his aggressiveness in constraining me despite me posing no threat and remaining calm throughout the conversation and his constraining me. She said that it would require a search warrant and that there was “No telling” how the video could be edited, tampered with, or even done away with before it would be required to be handed over to the investigators. What troubled me about my conversation with the officer was that she seemed to assume the worst case scenario in every possible solution to my encounter. She kept talking about how much paper work would be involved, as if that were going to deter me from seeking justice. Still, it was 2am, and after speaking to both of my parents and my friends, I realized that justice couldn’t be served that night. Because of the lack of witnesses, it would simply be my word versus his (and that of his three “witnesses”), which could potentially yield extremely negative consequences for me, even though I had done nothing wrong throughout the entirety of the ordeal.

The next day, Sunday, my mother told my aunts and uncles about what happened and I found out something even more interesting. After my aunt told my 21-year-old cousin about what happened to me, my cousin called me immediately, requesting the name of the bar where this had happened. I told her the name, and she gasped before telling me that earlier that night, she and group of 4 of her friends had tried to go to the same bar (Downtown Sports Grill and Bar) but were told by the bouncer at the front door “I’ve never seen y’all here before. You can’t come in.” Confused, she asked “What?” and he replied “You’re not allowed in here because I’ve never seen you before.” My cousin didn’t feel like arguing or being somewhere she didn’t feel welcome so she and her friends simply walked away. Still, the only common denominator in her and my own dealings with the bar was one single factor: race. We were both African-Americans trying to enter and enjoy a bar that seemed to only welcome those not like us.

It is absolutely ridiculous that this still happens in America. It is even more ridiculous that it’s happening in Raleigh, North Carolina, one of the fastest growing and, increasingly, most diverse cities in America.

I talked to my attorney who said, simply, that although what happened was undoubtedly wrong and unjust, the fact of the matter was what I had assumed before: it would be an uphill battle to reach any kind of legal resolution. She then suggested that I contact the I-Team Troubleshooter to see if there was any possible solution when the media asked for answers as to why and how this was allowed to occur. She also suggested that I check whether my and my cousin’s stories were not isolated instances, and whether media coverage would expose more stories of racism and exclusion at this establishment.  

I thank you in advance for reading this, and for any help or assistance that you may be able to offer.

People Who Make My People Look Bad on a Whole: Lil Wayne

Everyone identifies themselves with some group politically, socially, culturally etc. There are always cases of people in one of the groups you particularly identify yourself as that do some things to make everyone else in that group look bad. I thought I would after an incident on the Manhattan bound E-train start a series to address people who make things look bad for not only humanity but also distinct portions of the population. I am honored to start this series with someone I still cannot understand why is popular: Lil Wayne.

Lil Wayne Incident w/ the Thunder

Breaking News

The rapper created a stir Thursday night by posting on Twitter that he was “going to go to the Thunder game tonight but was denied by the team to be in their arena.” Thunder spokesman Dan Mahoney says Lil Wayne’s representatives did contact the team requesting tickets but insisted that he sit on the front row, and none of those seats was available. Oklahoma City sold out every home game during the regular season and playoffs this season. Mahoney says: “We’d love to have him at a game, but like anyone else, he needs a ticket.”

Recent Developments

The fact that he still has a career is amazing, but to be called by the associated press an icon is beyond me. According to the iconoclastic rapper two Thunder players — Kevin Durant and James Harden— had reached out to offer him tickets to Saturday’s fourth game of the Western Conference Finals. But that’s not the point you see:

“It’s the players stepping up but of course the players aren’t white. I don’t want to be sitting there on behalf of you and I’m sitting next to a (person) that’s like ‘I don’t want this (guy) sitting next to me.’ (Forget) you … I’m in Forbes,” he said, laughing.

I think that Lil Wayne’s attempt to make this into something about race ? A team spokesman has said Lil Wayne’s representatives insisted that he sit in the front row, and none of those seats were available. Oklahoma City sold out every home game during the regular season and playoffs. You see you may not know this but dimunitive Wayne coming to the basketball game is an act of infinite mercy. He said he felt welcome at other arenas including Miami, and likes being able to energize players — many of whom are fans of his music — on their home court.” That’s like me [Lil Wayne] going on stage and … seeing LeBron (James) in the crowd with his hand up. I’m going to perform a little bit harder,” he said.

According to really tall negro and 3 time scoring champ Kevin Durant: “It was just a misunderstanding. We were sold out of tickets, I heard, and we didn’t come through,” Durant said. “He knows a few of us on the team and he knows it’s nothing like that. We offered him tickets to tonight but he had to do something. He’s a superstar in his own right, so he can’t just pick up and go to a game.”

Thoughts

I was shocked when I went on a epic road trip from NYC to Las Vegas. Most Americans from the mid-West look like they grew grown in the Aisle of Dr. Moreau, hillbilly low-life, sweating-gravy, sibling-fucking motherfuckers. Most Americans think that what they see on TV is true, looking at the Jersey Shore I can see why people don’t believe in evolution. However I feel if you make enough movies showing for instance Mexicans worshiping Picante Doritos (the son of Corn born from a  virgin plant) many people wills tart to believe  that Doritos are evidence of the second coming of Christ and Mexicans will comprise his new and improved apostles)

I think our idiot celebrities really make it worse for us. Their actions don’t just reflect on themselves it reflects really on everyone in the group they are most easily identified with. If I get looks next time I am in the good seat on the bus, I will show everyone my metro card receipt taped too my ballsack, and rectify any incorrect image that people who tape things to their genitals as means of communication, actually pay regular fare like everyone else!

The Imagined Meritocracy & Stupid political stuff on Facebook

MrMary does not vote, not for the next American idol, not for the Presidency etc. I have more important things to do with my time. In a democracy there is a majority and a minority on every issue. It is quite possible to be in a demographic where your needs are not even remotely taken into consideration.

I feel for me its much better if I want to be of service to my nation to use my talents and intelligence to create  something in the community I am in  to  address the needs locally in an area where I am in tune with and I have done this. I’ve put my money where my mouth is.

Also more importantly I look around at the people at the schools I went to, at the Ivy league students I’ve tutored, politicians I’ve met and you know what I’ve found that:

there is enough treachery, hatred violence absurdity in the average
human being to supply any given army on any given day

and the best at murder are those who preach against it
and the best at hate are those who preach love
and the best at war finally are those who preach peace

those who preach god, need god
those who preach peace do not have peace
those who preach peace do not have love

Republican & Democrat Friends

beware the average man the average woman
beware their love, their love is average
seeks average

but there is genius in their hatred
there is enough genius in their hatred to kill you
to kill anybody
not wanting solitude
not understanding solitude
they will attempt to destroy anything
that differs from their own

Republicans

They take really big shits, but of course swear that something else stinks around here

As someone who doesn’t vote and would rather pour honey of my phallus and let fire ants at it rather than listen to or participate in political discourse I am quite objective. When it comes to talking about politics. I don’t have a vested interest. The french writer Celine has said that: “I have never voted in my life… I have always known and understood that the idiots are in a majority so it’s certain they will win.” and I agree. So then

it has been written that there two types of people in this world knowers and learners. The knowers are those committed  to being right, they fight to defend their own opinion so they learn very little. They would  prefer that everyone agree with them. Then they would learn nothing but be “right”. 

I have some friends who are republicans and every time I post something  they are quick to respond quite defensively. It’s not even about them actually. It could be a joke about politics or a daily show clips,  anything can be a target for them to start their ponctification  and they act like the knowers above. The few times i indulge with fact they immediately question the validity of facts, or the sources quoted and they quote the fore-fathers of fucking Ayn Rand.

They on a whole do not care for social discourse or learning. Tax payer money to them is our money. It is not to be spent on the poor because that’s a waste of ‘our’ money. They play the blame game more hardcore than other other political group or faction. When distinct demographics cant be blamed everything is the fault of this shadowy big government. comprised in part of people from their own party. They love to quote Ayn Rand and to them the slave owning forefathers of this country are like the 12 apostles. That means Gen. George Washington is like Jesus except that he died each night between some slave lady’s legs and rose again to do it the next day. I have rarely seen people so outwardly hostile without direct provocation.  I kind of feel like I get attacked every time i post a bunch of random stuff, and only when I am making fun of someone they happen to not like in do they join in.

Democrats

Been trying to kick themselves for years, but they havent won at that either

Democrats remind of the girls in college my friends would bend over trash can and have their way with.  Do they have a voice an opinion? I’m not saying fight blinkered hostility with more blinkered hostility but they seem a bit effete to me. Tehy remind me of dudes who are so whipped by their girlfriends they end up wearing capris and drinking Amstel Light or MGD64 with a smile.  I think the democratic party carries with it some shame from their pre-Civil War, Civil War and Reconstruction antics…oh for you history buffs:

The Democrats split over the choice of a successor to President James Buchanan along Northern and Southern lines, while the Republican Party gained ascendancy in the election of 1860. As the American Civil War broke out, Northern Democrats were divided into War Democrats and Peace Democrats. The Confederate States of America, seeing parties as evils, did not have any. Most War Democrats rallied to Republican President Abraham Lincoln and the Republicans’ National Union Party in 1864, which put Andrew Johnson on the ticket as a Democrat from the South. Johnson replaced Lincoln in 1865 but stayed independent of both parties. The Democrats benefited from white Southerners’ resentment of Reconstruction after the war and consequent hostility to the Republican Party. After Redeemers ended Reconstruction in the 1870s, and the extremely violent disenfranchisement of African Americans took place in the 1890s, the South, voting Democratic, became known as the “Solid South.” Though Republicans won all but two presidential elections, the Democrats remained competitive. 

You would thing having Obama being a democrat and winning would redeem them but nothing can redeem them, once you’ve been castrated you have to live with it.

What pissed me off ?

Recently there has been come controversy over P Diddy’s son winning a scholarship to UCLA. Some people think that since paying tuition isn’t an issue for P. Diddy who

1. made 45 million last year and is estimated $475 million and
2. gave his son a $360,000 Maybach car for his 16th birthday

the scholarship should to someone else. I have my own idea on this but that another story. But my friend aka MrRepublican001 has this to say

Why are people outraged that Diddy’s son got a scholarship?  If he earned it, he deserves it, regardless of whatever his father’s income. Oooh I get it, that money could have went to a poorer person with poorer grades and with less athletic ability because Diddy happened to be successful. Now that doesn’t sound fair to me.

Now of course all of this is dicey because the school is owned by the public, which means nobody other than the bureaucrats in charge…but take it up with the bureaucrats, not with the family

It was all good till I read that part: that money could have went to a poorer person with poorer grades and with less athletic ability because Diddy happened to be successful. My friend and many republicans seem to think they Obama, low middle class and the poor are trying to penalize them for being successful. More taxes  on the rich during a recession are an example of this. This pissed me off.  I’m so tired of this rhetoric but for personal reasons.

My Own Personal Bullshit

When You get awarded a scholarship or get promoted to a decent position as a person of color the first thing everyone says is that: You got the scholarship because your black, or you were the highest functioning amongst the blacks who applied, or the law says that there should be minorities here so you here. I’VE HEARD THIS SHIT BEFORE, IT WAS EVEN SAID TO MY FACE MANY TIMES. I did well academically but no way could afford the education I received. Some people think that affirmative action or programs that help minorities are all frauds, and they exist to put less competent people in roles or jobs they  have no business having, yeah and  corporate nepotism doesn’t exist people don’t get ahead of who they know America is really a meritocracy.

Yeah I think that’s all I wanted to say, back to usual jokes,

btw I don’t think any republicans or democrats are evil or bad, just some of my knucklehead Facebook friends are irritating me and I am venting
