Great Pitchfork review of a reissued classic hip hop album, Illmatic.

We could also screw over the Native Americans once again and take their land away.

So what or when is the breaking point? There's a finite amount of land and fresh water available to sustain life. And is there anything feasible that can be done to reverse this trend of population explosion? I think it would be cool if there could be some global financial incentive to have men and women "fixed" for a huge payout. Something to the effect of getting fixed while you currently have no kids = a one time $20k payout. Getting fixed after having one kid = a one time $15K payout. 2 kids goes down to a $2K payout and 3 or more kids and you don't get squat, including no tax breaks ever. Of course it's all optional. You can as many kids as you want and never have to get fixed. Obviously this affects the wealthy in a much different way but that's no more than 2% of the global population, if that. Go ahead and shoot some holes in this hypothetical. I know it could never work but I'm trying to think outside of the box.

Sounds a little too biblical coming out of your mouth.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who watches Jeff Ross' The Burn. Hilarious show.

I'll give it a few more episodes to see how it plays out. IMHO it was entertaining enough for me to keep going.

Wow what a day. Just got back home after boozing it all day with Balta. Convinced him to get a tattoo and some beaded jewelry before we parted our ways.

Here's some great healthy eating tips from the Onion.

David Attenborough Calls Humans a "Plague Upon the Earth" Can't say I disagree.

Too many amazing skits on that show. Easily goes down as my favorite comedy sketch show of all time.

Way to ruin a bad joke Harlan.

To infinity and beyond! or whatever they say on Star Trek.

Saw The Impossible today. I'd give it a 6.5 out of 10. A 7 is a solid "recommend" from me so this one is borderline. Mostly good but a couple things annoyed me:

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Jan 21, 2013 -> 01:45 PM) nope I'm a broke sob who ran outta weights. I was just curious as it seemed more difficult but then again I haven't benched since before the holidays (actually have been focusing on cardio and doing some core exercises with a swiss ball). The blocks are in between 2 weights, they may swing a little but they're not gonna go anywhere Hmm. Can you do various push ups, pull ups, etc. while you save up for some proper weights from Craigslist or eBay? Fashioning weights from various items can get you hurt.

Are you prison?

Oh hell yeah. I'd slather that on anything.

BTW, love getting Clif bars for dirt cheap working for REI. I buy cases of the mojo bars and I know they're not good for you. Anyone try the mojo bar with coconut? My god it's straight from heaven.
