Yo hello!
It is presently 1:11 am Monday night/Tuesday morning, and I haven’t been to bed yet. I am really tired, but I think Voldemort is going to attack North Korea in about 36 hours so, ya know, there is some insomnia happening. Shocker.
I’m gonna open this up tonight with the video for “Bootylicious” from Destiny’s Child. In case you ever wondered where my Dkos byline comes from, it’s a lyric in this song. Don’t think of it in a sexual way, think of it in a politically sparring way. :) (It works if you imagine that my argument is better than yours, lol. Also too, I swear a lot for a lady, and many people are either not used to that or offended by it. Or both. So, see, you are not ready for my jelly. Or something, I don’t know, I used to smoke a lot of weed.)
The Big Lebowski gives us both The Dude and his demonic friend Walter (as well as their bumbling acquaintance Donny, who should just shut the fuck up.) Walter is a total asshole, but at least he keeps kosher. Walter and Javanka hang down at the new, really stylish and presidential bowling alley.
Do you know Femi Kuti? I know very little world music, but I was turned onto this awesome guy years ago. I guess his dad is Fela Kuti, another Nigerian musician. Good stuff here.
I think the only other world music I know is an Israeli, Ofra Haza — I found her through my RCA CD club, heh. (If you even know what that is, you are old, like me.) Sadly, Wikipedia says Ms. Haza died in 2000 of AIDS. :(
Years and years ago (2004), Jon Stewart went onto the now-defunct CNN show Crossfire to confront Paul Begala and Tucker Carlson. Jon told them to knock it the fuck off with the media bullshit and help We The People, or just stop the show altogether. I don’t believe Crossfire lasted even a year afterwards, thanks to this epic trollery. :)
Who’s on tap for stand-up tonight? I’m gonna have to go with Ellen. That woman has got some truly brilliant comedy routines. I watched this entire comedy special with Little Shiz, years ago, because the whole thing is just a sequence of events everyone can relate to.
Speaking of Ellen, let’s just combine SYTYCD and Ellen at the same time, shall we? For some reason, I can’t get a better digital copy of this video, but I think it’s worth the shittiness. :P
To finish off for the evening, how about the French electronic duo Daft Punk (featuring Pharrell and Nile Rodgers), in honor of the French elections? Do the right thing, France! Don’t follow America’s Trump blunder, please!
It is 2:21 am. This diary took me exactly 1 hour and 11 minutes to write, lol. Feel free to vent your spleen in the comments, and have a good night!
