kanye-west-8-15-07as you all probably know by now, i’m the sh*t.

don’t be mad at me, though. i can’t help it, and even if i could, i probably wouldn’t. it seems like it’d be too time-consuming

still, while being the sh*t has its obvious perks and bonuses (ie: free chicken from starbucks and the inherent ability to switch stations back the exact moment the commercial is over), i’m actually a bit over my sh*ttyness now because apparently everyone else thinks they’re the sh*t too. bummer

***admin note***

before reading, please click the blackweblogawards icon on the side of the page and sh*t. you know, other than us pimping our t-shirts, our twitter page, our facebook page, and us publicizing the fact that we’re the only independent blog in recorded history to get over 100,000 comments in less than 300 entries, we don’t usually self-promote here at vsb.com. our commitment to crime fighting prohibits it. crime fighters don’t self-promote, and as you all know, its not a game with our crime-fighting game.

we’re making an exception now. vote and sh*t, please.

huge_51_259908Every morning when I wake up, I brush my teeth, take a shower, get out and proceed to applying (Palmer’s) in all the places on my person that could possibly be exposed to the elements. Specifically, I apply on my arms, legs, face, neck, feet, hands, etc. [click to continue…]
