This past weekend’s NFL Draft was the first opportunity for many athletes to finally monetize their talents and be compensated for the vast amount of revenue they have generated over the course of their careers. And make no mistake, they have been generating revenue. Although only 20 athletic departments claim to be turning a profit, this is more due to creative accounting than anything else, with many schools employing a liberal definition of what constitutes a “subsidy.” In reality, the NCAA is a billion-dollar-per-year industry, and is currently cashing in on a $10.8 billion television contract for its basketball tournament and a […]

Two Cheetos and a French Fry

Apr 30 2015

When I started writing about my personal life in my blogs it seemed simple enough. As I started getting deeper into them, that shit changed. It gets really hard to tell some of these stories. My boyfriend (John Hairston, Jr., the artist behind all of my cartoon art) has sent me three different progress pictures of the image for this post, and I have cried every single time I open them. He tells me that he doesn’t want to do these if they are going to hurt me… It isn’t him. It isn’t his art. It’s what I did at […]

People have pretty strong opinions about welfare. Just about every day, I’ll see someone post a meme or a status complaining about how they, a hard-working tax-paying American, have to struggle to get by while lazy welfare queens sit back and live lavishly on fat checks from the government. Lawmakers in Missouri and Kansas have recently become the latest in a long line of politicians to address this supposed issue, introducing legislation that would ban the use of welfare benefits on steak and lobster, and in tattoo parlors, strip clubs, and cruise ships (cruise ships!). Others have supported mandatory drug testing […]

Clinging is a bitch. Whether you are the clinger or clingee, it’s a shitty situation. The old saying ‘if you love something, set it free’ is stupid. It’s stupid and also true. But perhaps it is less of a ‘set it free’ and more of a become aware of what it is you are scared of by letting go. Figuring out why we do things is always the first step in finding any sort of resolution. If you need some assistance, let me tell you this. Once you realize and accept that you have no control over anything but your […]

You ever been to an art show……. ON WEED?! Now that I got that Half Baked reference out of the way, I’ll share with you some of Monday’s happenings. Some things I documented, and some things are best left to the imagination. Here’s what went down: After pre-rolling a joint or two the night before, I woke up, sparked one and continued to lay in bed while spilling ash all over the place. This being nothing out of the ordinary, I walked downstairs in a foggy haze. Clearing cobwebs from my eyes, I dropped some tincture drops sure to set the […]

Since I last wrote, several new incidents have added to the ever-increasing list of unarmed black people killed by the police, once again thrusting the issue into the national spotlight. In North Charleston, South Carolina, Walter Scott was shot eight times by Officer Michael Slager as he was fleeing his vehicle following a traffic stop for a broken taillight. Slager was charged with murder following the release of a video of the incident showing Scott retreating as he was gunned down and Slager planting his Taser by the body. The same day, another officer in South Carolina, Justin Craven, was […]

Sorry about last week. I was going to write about the death of Deadpool, but that shit was so wack… SO I am back to my regular blog. I realized that I skipped over a lot of important events between 7th grade and my senior year. So I am going to take the time to highlight some of these over the next few weeks. Have you ever been told that you are ugly? What about not worth loving? Ever been told that you were destined to be alone? Have you ever listened to the people saying these things […]

No really, Paco fucking bit my finger! This jackass thought I had food.. or was food? In his defense, I had just given him some shit to munch on (corn an apples), so why wouldn’t Billy Finger be on the menu? Ha! Nah, he was a cool donkey tho. I got to watch him run free and he did all those gnarly donkey kicks. Really quite fascinating. For someone who rarely leaves the perimeter, going to Jasper, Georgia was indeed a field trip. What the fuck is Pickens County? Still not sure, but I went to this awesome bargain store and copped […]
