Tommy Timberlake




Tom Haverford, aka, Tommy Timberlake when he wears a bowler and vest, was supposed to take dude to a telethon that Leslie was running to fight diabetes. Tom, and a couple of other people that work in City Hall, owns some shares of a local night club named 'The Snake Hole'. He decided to make a pit stop there, and fuxked around and got drunk off of two light beers (remember, he's small). Apparently "Turn My Swag On" is his shit because he loses it when it comes on.

Since I added it on my phone, I can only post the link...I'll add it properly when I get to my computer.

Spike Lee, He May Be Little, but Films Pack A Punch




Not sure if I ever told you guys, but Spike Lee is my favorite filmmaker. I own all of his movies with the exception of three. About a month ago, I was on the phone with Claude and we were talking about Spike's movies. I told him he should write a series of poems that are inspired by Spike Lee movies. I don't remember why he decided not to, but I said I would. Well tonight I feel inspired and I feel like finally starting on the poems. Ive been thinking about it for a while, and I think the first poem is going to be inspired by 'Girl 6'. I have the poem in my head as a movie (that's the way I write poems, I create the movie, then I write the script, dope right?), I just have to find a way to put it in words.

Anyway, I'll post the poems as they get created.

Parks & Recre-AWESOME




Since my recent unemployment, I've been watching hella shows on Netflix. I was feeling kinda Randy, Aziz Ansari ( (c)Donald Glover), and decided to check out Parks & Recreation. Back in January when I was in Denver, my roommate Angie was telling me how boss the show was. I was interested, but never gazed upon it, until now.

The show is centered around Leslie Knope (played by Amy Pohler), the deputy director of the Parks and Recreation Department in Pawnee, Indiana. It's done in a "mockumentary" style that's reminiscent of The Office. Knope has an extremely optimistic view of the government and has a really weird obsession with parks. The main focus of the show is "Lot 48" which was an empty pit next to a citizen named Anne's (played by Rashida Jones) house. The lot was originally supposed to be a high-rise, but the developers ran out of money before the project could be completed, thus leaving a huge gaping hole dubbed, 'The Pit'. Anne and was pissed because her boyfriend, Andy, fell into the pit and broke both legs. Leslie, being the lover of parks that she is, decided that this eye-sore could be a park. The show goes through all the bureaucratic red tape that it takes to get the park complete (two seasons in and all they've done is fill it in, and that was only after Andy gave them an ultimatium) and the crazy high-jinks that she and her co-workers go through in their everyday life.

Parks and Rec is comparable to The Office, but what I like more about P&R is that this also deals with the employees' personal life. For example, Tom Haverford (Aziz Ansari) was married to a chick named Wendy. Found out later, that it was a green card marriage (she's from Canada), and that they ended up getting a divorce. Tom fell in love with her 3 days before the divorce was final. Anne and Leslie have a super cool friendship & it'll show them just chilling out on the couch talking and shit. The cameras follow them home instead of verbally telling us about it via 'talking head' or 'one on ones'.

All in all, the show is fuxking boss. I was in love with it from the word, 'Go'. And it doesn't hurt that I get to look at Aziz Ansari sexy ass. He's officially added to my short-list.

P.s.: Aziz Ansari is 5'6 & 3/4"...only 2 inches apart...technically that's still titty height lol.
