When returning from a walk with your wife and dog, it’s probably not a good idea to tell her it was nice to take her for a walk.

Detroit Hip-Hop artists Invincible & Finale rhyme about the impacts of gentrification on the Motor City.
It’s a slow news day, I’m bored, and for no other reason than that I’m posting this video. It’s also catchy and I like the scenery. So sue me.

I don’t know if this is really the world’s longest slide or not. I don’t give a fuck. I just want to ride this thing. Internets, make it happen!
This is probably the most simple and easy to understand explanation I’ve heard of the credit crisis we’re all going through. So now we know about the problem, how the FUCK do we FIX IT?

Using the U-Scan should not be a 20 fucking minute process.
Scan, bag, scan, bag, scan, bag, pay, done. It seems so simple, yet there are SOOOOOOOO many people out there can’t handle the complexity of the U-Scan lanes.
It’s not rocket science, fuckers. If you can’t take the heat, get the fuck out of the kitchen.
Do yourself a favor and quit demonstrating to the rest of the world you aren’t capable of functioning in a rapidly advancing technological society.
Oh, and for the love of god people, CHECKS? People still use checks?!!!???!?!?!
Thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate another year since my birth closer to death. It was a blast to say the least… My liver is officially glad I only turn 29+1 once in my life. Next stop, AARP!
Monty Python’s Spamalot, the musical that set theatre back 1,000 years and captured Broadway’s Holy Grail (the tony award for best musical) was back in Detroit for a brief appearance at the Fisher Theatre in downtown Detroit. Lucky for us we caught the last show Sunday night. Who says there’s no culture** in Motor City?!
The show is lovingly “ripped-off†from the internationally famous comedy team’s most popular motion picture, Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Telling the tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table in their quest for the Holy Grail, the campiness and satire from the 1974 movie translated nearly flawlessly to the stage. Well-integrated scenery and props were almost never a hindrance to the story being told. Many spots were funnier than the movie and possibly more irreverent; not just to religion and culture, but to Broadway itself. Most importantly, they even gave it a local spin by joking about ex-Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick in the show.
All in all it was a fantastic show, and a great excuse to see the Fisher Theatre for the 1st time, and the place is beautiful! The lobby area features some art deco tile work lavish with an Aztec-theme in the Mayan Revival style (thank you wiki!) with some insane detailing.
All in all this was a great show and a great (work) night out on the town!
** Any Broadway show referencing farts in particular directions and waving private parts at one’s aunties is TOTALLY cultured.
I was hanging out at the house on a Saturday night with a pair of unused 40oz beers when I decided to record an impromptu mix, so I did. While it’s not a technical masterpiece it is a showcase of any time any track mixing featuring some nice tech house cuts that you can just plop in the CD player and let play.
