I used to take my dog outside at night before heading to bed and be able to look straight ahead into a field of nothing. It was peaceful, calm, the best thing to look at at night, especially since I live at a somewhat busy intersection. The other night, I was shocked by reality when I took my dog out, as I do every night, and looked straight ahead. No longer did I see a field of nothing.
What happened to rap and hip-hop? Just the other day I was driving around in my friend’s car when we heard a song on the radio. I thought it had a good sound but then I started listening to the lyrics,

Make ya ass touch the flo'
Like ya legs are broke
Take that big ol' booty girl and scrub the ground
You can do it up and down
Or round n round

Everybody knows that today is Valentine's Day (AKA Single Awareness Day, a name used by my, well, single friends). I love Valentine's Day and all, but frankly, its gotten to be way too commercial. I have been told that I am being too cynical and am just bitter because I do not happen to have a Valentine, but that is not the case.
