I haven’t done a single assignment today, and I’m genuinely curious to how much longer this place can justify having any freelancers, let alone two, to sit here and essentially get paid to do nothing on days like this. Needless to say, I’m really bored, and there’s only so much wikipedia I can read before my eyes feel like they’re going to fall out of their sockets. So that beings said, let’s ask another question for black history month:

Why do black teenagers feel the need to pretend like they’re on their cell phones when they’re clearly not using them?

Again, this could be an “Atlanta-thing,” but without fail, whenever I go to the store, there will always be at least one 15-25 year old black person who has a cell phone against their ear, but they never say anything back to it. Because, they’re not actually on a phone call.

Oh joy. February. We all know what that means. Especially in Atlanta.

Throughout the month of February, in honor of black history, I’m going to ask a bunch of questions that I want answered immediately, but will in all likelihood, not have answered. But it’s okay, I’d rather put the words out there for the random stumbler to stumble upon, and whether or not they’re too offended and disgraced to answer, maybe some good will come out of it.

But it’s going to have to wait at the back of the bus for at least one post, because something(s) else have piqued my interest for the moment that I don’t want to share posts with poorly veiled racist stereotyping.

While searching for an adequate image of Kindergarten Cop to use, I kept seeing this ridiculously hot girl.  Upon further examination, it’s none other than Odette Yustman, best known (to me) for being more or less a kind of Megan Fox clone (but slightly superior), and for the gratuitous ass shot on the poster of The Unborn.  So what does Odette Yustman have to do with Kindergarten Cop to where her hot pictures kept showing up when searching for the 1990 film?  Apparently, she was one of the kindergartners that Ahnold was having contak wif to leaurn moah from hoomans.  And today, she’s a 25-year old smokeshow making me feel old and lame.

And in other amusement, I stumbled upon this “best of” Craigslist posting.  If you’re not a graphic designer, you might not quite get it, but reading it repeatedly over the last two days, and I’m still finding it funny.
