    Calm down broham. Your not the one with an impending 18 year old STD. There is no cure for child support payments. So I'm allowed as much new-agey BS I can spout.

    My car is going to cost more than I estimated. I may have to cut my road trip short to one night...we'll see how it goes. That's kind of a bummer. But I will make the best of it.

    Yeah, I disc golf. My husband and his guy friends have been playing for a long time. I caught the bug last year. I'm actually getting better. I threw girl-par on a couple of holes yesterday. None of the courses here have a ladies' tee, so we just add an extra stroke for girl-par. It works, and it makes me feel like I'm on a more even playing field since I don't have the distance they do.

    Is it bad that I actually hope we do get about 10" of snow?

    If we are going to have cold, we might as well have snow. And if there is going to be snow, there might as well be enough to count for something.

    Really? Cause I'm, always counting pennies. You know, only since last week did I ever actually lose sleep over something. That thing was money. I have not been a smart gainer of late. I am remedying that. I refuse to find myself in another desperate situation where I cannot afford to keep my head above water.

    I got stuck with a terrible minivan today while my car is being serviced. It has no acceleration power whatsoever. I've been having to go to my happy place when I get stopped at a light so I don't rage when the damn thing doesn't move when I hit the gas!

    It's still racist if you think a race has a superior set of inborn skills, even if you aren't of that race... For shame

    Confirmation bias is probably the answer to a question nobody asked out loud

    Oh never mind. It's a really stupid fucking song. And the dude's white. And it got me thinking. And it was in POINTLESS ANNOUNCEMENTS.
    Fuck if I care if people think I'm racist. I know better.
    I'm "Vanilla" on the Northside, and "Snowbunny" on the Southside of my town... and I find it hilarious.

    I didn't claim to understand anything. In fact, I'm pretty sure I said that I didn't. It's something that I feel. It's something in the music. And I would argue that most people who are really into hip hop could attest to it.

    You should know by now I'm staunchly against that. I'll just become an alcoholic.

    I just wanted to poke fun at the subtle crazy funky hip magic that seems to talk to white people from certain types of music... but not other Because I tend to think that most white people are straight cray-cray.

    I would argue that most people who are really into their music can attest to how awesome it is... even if it's the goofy screaming of middle class white kids cranking out my personal favorite genre: punk rock.

    /pointlessly obvious, obviously pointless, posted anyway

    That's right, whitey... feel guilty about what your people have done.

    The best part is watching white people fight over who can or can't be defined as a good rapper. I think that the ridiculousness of this conversation is best revealed by replacing the subject with "hair metal bands".

    Next you people are going to tell me that a black man doesn't make a good country singer.

    /don't like my music, buy some fucking ear plugs, yo.

    I like all kinds of music. Including punk music. Punk music has a certain voice, too, that 'speaks to people.' Even you.

    What I see happening here is a bunch of over defensive white people who, again, can't stand to be left out of something. God forbid someone have a quality that is, admittedly, funky, that you just don't have. wah.

    Who's being defensive? I'm just calling you out on the silly race bullshit because--to me--you seem to be suggesting that a particular type of skin pigmentation plus x background produces legit music.

    I mean, that's like suggesting that only female singers can talk about heartbreak. Ya know, because they have estrogen 'n stuff.

    That and the_jazz is right: we should be talking about 38 Special and Poison.

    There was a confession bear on reddit: It read "I wish we picked our own cotton, so we wouldn't have so many black people in this country."

    I lol'd.

    I don't think you understand hip hop the way people who are really into it do. You're so hung on words (like 'legit') that I haven't even used. I don't know why you're so defensive, but it's starting to become boring.
