Practice Safe Lunch, Use a Condiment

Scientist have developed a new way to study a cow's digestive system by surgically cutting holes in the stomach area. The proper term for these holes are called "fisculas", which correlates to the process of making the cows "fisculated." Since this revolutionary process has begun it has been determined that scientist can feed the cow then later catch the food through the fistula as it's digesting. Yummy right? This is even more of a reason why I don't eat beef. Have fun with your Double Whoppers. Want some ketchup (hence condiment) with that fisculated beef?

I'm a big fan of Google Maps. I use it on my BlackBerry quite often. Sometimes when I get bored I use the panoramic view to scale different neighborhoods in my city. Recently, as to no surprise I discovered a drug transaction in progress (after I made this post Google removed the pictures) on the south side of Chicago. Note to the wise: if you see Google's "Zoom Car" driving down your block, then perhaps it's not a good idea to continue illegal activity. The vehicle I'm mentioning is subcontracted by Google to take pictures of city streets with an advanced panoramic camera mounted on the dash. It's only so long before Google is going to ring your doorbell and request to take a panoramic picture of your bedroom.....for educational purposes that is.

Have you ever wondered how some cartoon characters would look if they were real? I have, especially Homer Simpson - he'd be a funny looking guy.

Happy belated birthday to Matt. Although his birthday was yesterday, we've been on a non stop partying crusade since last Thursday. From the looks of it, he's continuing to get his grown man swagger on.

Final Thought: I bumped into this kid recently in a drug store. I use to be his recreational leader at this summer camp I worked while I was 16. I found my self really interested in what he had been up to lately. He told me it was his 1st year of high school, and then went on to talk about all the craziness he's been apart of lately. For a second I almost found my self preaching to him. I quickly regain my conscience - wished him well, and walked away. See the truth is I'd be a total hypocrite to tell him what's wrong and what's right. More importantly I think young boys in an environment like Chicago have to learn through personal experience more so than advice. The things he'll be exposed to are a better learning tool than any advice I can give him.

I have always been a person to believe that expereince is the best teacher...Along with that a little advice given to the youth is more of a heads-up type of thing. Everyone has made mistakes in the past and always say they would do things different if they could turn back the hands of time. At the same time, different people react differently to things in different situations. What affect this person may not be as big of an impact to that person. Im not perfect but it's this lil dude who always come into my barber shop and help out. When I didn't see him for about 3 months I was concerned. I finally see him at the gas station and he was doing good, still in school, and on the basketball team. I talked to him and was proud to hear that because he was still on track. I always try to give him words of wisdom & encouragement.

Matt what a weekend, too bad I came out late. I know you enjoyed it.

Final Thought: You never throw ya mans half-way across the room-regardless of the circumstances!

The truth of the matter is it's a jungle out here, and shorty is gonna have to be not only swift but cunning as well as strong in order to deal with some of the bullshit that CPS highschools can hand out. No amount of preaching or any instructional video can prepare you for some shit. IE (fighting with bats and crowbars on 89th and cottage) but at the same time we wanted more and what we fought for was our reputations, which in highschool os your livelihood.

Good lookin out on the shout out. We did get tore off at the bar I actually felt like falling flat on my face in that pic because I think we had a couple of gin shots right before it. Between Angelo embarrasing us at an unamed bar and steve sneakin the 5th of Don Julio into D&B's, "I gotta say it was a good day"
