Resolved
Everyone always makes positive resolutions for the New Years. What if for once, I just resolved to be less of a well-rounded person. What if on January 1st, I make a resolution to take up something that would completely and undoubtedly “detrimental” to my health and well-being, just because, well frankly, I’m tired of trying to find a balance. Maybe an attempt to tip the scales...

Best Albums of 2010
Yeah, I’m doing a ‘Best Of’ list. I hope this list doesn’t come off as “indier-than-thou,” but I just wanted to make a list of what I thought were nobel album attempts for the ’10s. This isn’t a Top 10 list, either. In fact, there’s no specific order to how I rated these albums. So here we go… Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted...

Guy Handshakes
You know what’s the most awkward moment I despise and avoid when saying goodbye to other guys? The handshake. For women, it’s relatively easy. Women always hug a person when they leave, even if it’s one of those “church hugs” (you know, the one where it’s not really an embrace, but more so a hug where only the shoulders meet and you get a pat on the back).

New Yorker article on how some authors/professors are trying to bring the legitimacy of hip-hop to the academic world and a broader audience. “The genius of hip-hop is that it encourages listeners to hear spoken words as music. Few people listen to speeches or books on tape over and over, but hip-hop seems to have just as much replay value as any other popular genre.”

I didn’t catch the name of this song or artist, but as someone else put it, it’s like “an open love letter to the city of San Francisco.”

The Tao of Wu
I just finished reading The Tao of Wu by The RZA. I didn’t think I’d stay up and read the rest of the book last night, since I was on pg. 130-something and the book was 200-something pages, but for some reason I stayed up and just told myself to finish the rest of the book. I guess I should start off by saying that RZA is one complex and interesting character, to say the least. I mean,...
