You Need To Take a Look at The Other Side

Hello!

You're back for more I see.

Some important developments here in Huelva;

-I have become the master of smothering loaves of bread in olive oil, thyme, chopped fresh basil, a pinch of salt, pepper, and (1 out of every 5 times) some chopped garlic in our shitty easy-bake oven and eating it when I get back from work.


-Todo el mundo está fucking loco por cerdo frito! (Rough translation: Everyone is going fucking crazy for fried pork in these parts!)



-No pacific islander group is more marginalized in the eyes of the Spaniards then our fine friends the Filipinos. What's that? You don't know anything about the Philippines? For shame, for shame my friend.

Brush up on the facts, motherfucker.

-Taka you can make fun of me all you want; Kate Mooney, and her theoretical co-conspirators had a brilliant fucking idea. Read about it here.

AYAYAYAYAYAY: Yi Jianlin might get voted in by China as a starter for the Eastern Conference in the All-Star game. I am no jingo, hell I barely got my absentee vote in the mail on time, but I'll be damned if I will remain mum about the ludicrous nature of the all-star game in the globalized age of the NBA. Let's stop this from happening, one vote at a time (maybe you should all tell your grandparents about this, it could be like Obama 2.0 (2.5 if you count the Al Franken debacle, yes I said it let's find new and exciting reasons to be American)

GET OUT AND VOTE PEOPLE!!!

NEWHOUSE!!!!



So if you aren't a regular at Newhouse's Bushwick blog then you are a fucking fool.

More important is his utilization of the film Roger Dodger to illustrate his point about struggles with relationships. That movie really hit home hard for me; a verbose male protagonist, prone to selfish delusions, takes his nerdy nephew under his wing for a night of debauch in NYC. The results are much darker and less slapstick than the average viewer may hope; but to quote Newhouse, "my humor is darker than [that of] the starting center for the Celtics." (that would be Kendrick Perkins)
