I'm open minded when it comes to piercings. I don't have any myself, but I'm not bothered by people who do, so long as it isn't excessive. Women with multiple ear piercings are fine by me, as are nose (except horseshoe ones) and navel ones, among others types.

But there's always been one that strikes me as completely arbitrary, useless and totally unattractive: the Monroe. I suppose it emulates Marilyn Monroe's famous freckle or beauty spot, whatever you want to call it, and it's cool that so many people want to pay homage to an iconic figure. Except somehow they always wind up looking dumb and out of place.

Maybe the idea is to send a message that says: faces are beautiful no matter how they look or what's on them. If that's the case, I applaud the sentiment, but I have to ask - is body modification the only way to get that point across?

Let's put the Monroe this way: More Here...

This is a collaboration between two of the best southern hip-hop duo's on the planet.  Houston's UnderGround Kingz and Atlanta's OutKast.

Andre 3000 raps a nice little ditty about marriage and fidelity, Pimp C (R.I.P.) counters by doing what he does best, pimping.  Bun B. also discusses the finer points of pimping, as well as getting money, and Big Boi finishes it all off by reminding us not to get anyone pregnant.

Classic.

Getting a job is just annoying. It's not fun, or enjoyable, or anything. It is all hard work, e-mails, uncertainty, and rejection. I can't do anything, because I'm too busy refreshing my e-mail, the help wanteds, and then constantly checking my cell phone for messages. I just end up feeling useless and helpless.

It doesn't have to be this way. I think this whole "finding a job" system we have in this country needs to be overhauled. Why should I have to put forth effort, or be a go-getter? Fuck that, I went to college, I already put my time in.

This is what I think should happen. Instead of all of us unemployed people, applying for job after job, not hearing back, not knowing if we will get it, the employers should have to apply to us. More Here...

I get comments often from women who don't understand why guys play video games, and they will more often than not dismiss it as "kid's stuff".

But little do these female know is that there are plenty of manly video games out there. Some with depth, some with ACTION and AWESOME (yes that did require caps lock)
Here's a list, in no particular order.

1. God of War (I and II)

Is he slaying someone while atop a huge bird? You bet he is. This game involves nothing short of you being badass while the rest of the greek gods shudder in fear of your awesome. Yeah, the storyline isn't a masterpiece, but the action more than makes up for it. More Here...

Oh, this is a classic. Who doesn't love Kriss Kross? You? Get out of my blog! You are not welcome here! Ok, so I may have a slight obsession with early 90s hiphop and R&B. This is not what I call a problem. Also, it was your head editor's birthday yesterday and this was the official theme song of the day. So, just enjoy.
