I’ve always wanted to make a sign just like this.

I love my friend Stephanie’s work.
So much that I think you’ll love it too.

So the other, I went to the Grocery store and ended up spending about $10 more than I was supposed to because of these gawd awful Club Cards. — I don’t understand why these things exist.
(#rantalert)
It’s like joining an imaginary ‘club’ that anybody can get into. Why do ‘they’ even call it a ‘club?’ It doesn’t require anything from you, and you don’t really get anything exclusive for being in the ‘club.’ Yes, they have their ‘Club Card’/reduces prices, but if anyone can get the Club Card, and there aren’t any real requirements for getting a card, then the reduced prices should just be the regular prices for everybody, right!? I say there’s no ‘real’ requirements because every time a store asks me to to fill out an ‘application’ for their ‘Club,’ I put in a fake address and a fake phone number — I’m sure other people do the same thing to avoid unwanted sales pitches. It’s really a club full of fraudulent cheap-skates who have no problem telling lies(white) to save a buck or two — what a horrible club. I get that they want your mailing address so they can mail you promotions, ads and other non-environmental-friendly stuff. I have a good feeling that they mail you the same ads that they already have available in the entrances of every store. On top of that, the sales in the ads are useless if you don’t have a Club Card anyway — what a complete waste.
Actually, let’s look at how much gets wasted just to give us a ‘deal’ that we should already be getting.
Solutions:
Of course there are bigger fish to fry on this issue:
But the cards themselves really bother me. They’re completely inconvenient! I only have one wallet, but I’m supposed to walk around with all of those cards crammed in there just to make a quick grocery store run? Makes me think of that Seinfeld episode with George Costanza’s exploding wallet. Even the mini key-chain cards are inconvenient. Who has room on there keys for 10 little annoying pieces of plastic? — Not I.
Again, why do these things exist? Am I missing something?
Comments?
First off, I’ve got to apologize to anybody who I’ve had to lead off the scent by (white) lying to make this project happen as discreetly as possible. I also, have to apologize for some of the flakiness that some folks may have experienced from me during the final stages of working on this project. I hope no one takes any of it personally, but I had to crawl in my cave.
Secondly, I’d like to thank WordBK, FWMJ, Naturel, DamnKam, Matua, Seher, Optics, Blitz, and and anybody else who helped us out with the project even though they probably didn’t know it at the time (Sorry, again).
Thirdly, Go take a listen!

Here’s my new release as 1/2 of the design and music collaboration team, The Stuyvesants! A project created, developed, and executed by myself, Algorythm, and Darien Victor Birks (Flwrpt). We brought our talents together to produce 25 instrumentals, t-shirts, logos and graphics which capture the sound and visuals of the 60′s and 70′s, an era that inspires so much of the music that we’ve grown to love. We’ve done this under the moniker “The Stuyvesants”, paying homage to our current place of residence, which is the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, New York.

I should probably own a few of these.
If Sean Combs-endorsed Ciroc is the vodka of choice in his home borough of Manhattan, then we suppose Brooklyn just adopted Spike Lee and Absolut to represent its buzz. Yep, you can now buy ABSOLUT BROOKLYN for just $24.99 at your local liquor store (the company will be giving $50,000 in sales to Habitat for Humanity for their effort to build affordable and environmentally sustainable housing in Bed-Stuy).
But what does Brooklyn taste like? We’re told “the new flavor is a blend of red apple and ginger and comes in a specially-designed bottle reminiscent of the ubiquitous Brooklyn Stoop Life.”

Ouxu, u-da-bess for this, but somebody’s missing…YOU!
Every once in a while this dude @Dart_Adams does these hilarious dialogues on twitter, where he puts random ‘celebs’ on Inside The Actor’s Studio with James Lipton. Here’s a transcript from the latest episode featuring Common. I’m also gonna try to transcribe the previous episode featuring your boy Bokeem Woodbine — pure hilarity. This one is kind of long but it’s funny from start to finish.
Lipton: Hello, everyone! Today I have the distinct honor to present none other than The Boney Homey From Stoney…PAUSE! Petey Wheatstrow!
Lipton: Willie Stargell, Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Common Sense but now known to the world as “COMMON”
*Enters to applause as “6th Sense” plays*
Common: Thanks for the the intro
Lipton: No doubt, no doubt…
Common: You even played “6th Sense”? What?
Lipton: Premo’s a beast!
*Laughter*
Lipton: Honestly, did you EVER think you’d be sitting here one day?
Common: I thought I had a shot when I saw Bokeem Woodbine on last month!
Lipton: I didn’t think you’d ever act. Then I saw your brilliant monotone stoic delivery next to N’Bushe Wright in “Retrospect For Life”
Common: I was directed by the brilliant Lauryn Hill in that video. *Applause* She said “Rashid, be extremely emotional”. Then she said “Ehh”
Lipton: Your first acting experiences all came via the UPN network didn’t they?
Common: Yeah, BET said that I was too intelligent for them
Lipton: You first appeared as a spoken word performer/poet named Omar on an episode of “Girlfriends”, didn’t you? *Applause*
Common: Yessir!
Lipton: Common, how were you able to focus with all those fine ass women around?
Common: As you know I was afflicted with Baduizm @ the time
Lipton: I see. So what was your next role?
Common: I played a drama teacher/acting coach on an episode of “One On One” *Raucous laughter*
Lipton: That, my friend, is HILARIOUS!
Common: *Looks @ audience* Cuz I can’t emote for SHIT!
*Laughter*
Lipton: How did you get that role?
