We're Headed Up My Mom's Ass!

Former rapper turned investment banker turned rapper again Paris released 'Bush Killa' long before The Coup were pretending to blow up the World Trade Centre (before someone actually blew it up, go figure).

"Yeah, tolerance is gettin thinner
Cause Iraq never called me 'nigger'"

Paris rapped about killing George Herbert Walker Bush who sent troops to kill Iraqis in 1991. In 2002 his son sent troops to kill more Iraqis. Those troops now freestyle about what it's like to shoot and get shot at by Iraqis :

"I can't believe Iraqis are after me/It's got to be a tragedy/The way these people bust and blast at me/Dear God, is this the way it has to be?"

I wonder if they'll rap battle Tamer Nafer :

"You buried the parents under the stones of their own homes/ and now you call me a terrorist/ Who is a terrorist?/ You are a terrorist"

Without You-Herman Hesse

My Pillow gazes upon me at night
Empty as a gravestone;
I never thought it would be so bitter
To be alone,
Not to lie down asleep in your hair.

I lie alone in a silent house,
The hanging lamp darkened,
And gently stretch out my hands
To gather in yours,
And softly press my warm mouth
Toward you, and kiss myself, exhausted and weak-
Then suddenly I'm awake
And all around me the cold night grows still.
The star in the window shines clearly-
Where is your blond hair,
Where your sweet mouth?

Now I drink pain in every delight
And poison in every wine;
I never knew it would be so bitter
To be alone,
Alone, without you.

Dude, she's just not that into you.

Baseball brim/beak curvature : does it matter?

He noticed how his baseball-cap-wearing friends went to great pains to make the brim curve the right way when they wore them backwards. To them it was a big deal.

"The straight-brimmed look means the wearer hasn't a fashion clue, but does have a high tolerance for brow-squeezing pain."

Let's hear what you think...
