On Harambe, Worst Case Scenarios, And Being Judgmental When The Rainbow Isn't Enough
It’s my fault, really. “Don’t read the comments” (except for at VSB) is pretty much the only way to read articles on mass news sites on-line.

If I Give You A Kidney, We Pretty Much Go Together Forever
Typically, I’m not a big fan of owing people shit once a relationship ends. Like, I don’t owe you to wait before I jump into a new relationship with somebody else. I don’t owe you to not bang your mother if she puts it out there. I mean, I probably shouldn’t bang your mother anywa.…

Bell Biv Devoe’s “Poison” Is The Most 90s Song Of All Time!
I didn’t set out this morning with the intention of yelling fire in a crowded theater. I didn’t. I was just minding my own business like I always do having thoughts of things I think about. Well, one particular thought stood out from the rest, dope as can be…and well, it went all the way…
