I have been on Twitter for a minute now, and I was surprised to find out that Twitter is a/k/a as "microblogging." Since I'm usually on Soulbounce or Twitter and not on here as much as I would like, I figured I'd let y'all know where I've been posting the past few months.
I don't know how I feel about this. I mean, I was pro-Obama in the home stretch of the campaign after really believing that there was no way that Obama was going to even be nominated. But now I feel a little uncomfortable with all these high-end designers creating wares that capitalize on such a historic point in this nation's and world's history. True, some of these items are hot and I do own a couple of Obama shirts my damn self, but I just don't want this to turn into the Bart Simpson T-shirt craze/fiasco of the early '90s. If you remember this (Black Bart tee = oh God no), then you'll understand the comparison. Check out some of the wares below.
I blogged about the dearth of Black Californians in the past. Statewide, we're something like 7% of the population. This being considered, the whole "Blame The Negroes For Passing of Prop 8" thing just doesn't make sense statistically-speaking, but I digress.
I just saw the trailer for this movie, Medicine For Melancholy, which besides being a dope movie title, is about a Black couple in San Francisco who bond after a one-night stand. While I have lived through this scenario on more that one occasion (sorry, Mom), the story seems beautiful and political all at the same time. Check it out below, and be sure to see it on January 30th.
